CH 92.2

The muffled heat entering through the open door turns on the air conditioning unit again and cool air starts coming out of the blower.

Good good, the temperature controls seem to be working.

「There you are in front of the air conditioning again. It’s time to get to the living room or the princess will be sulking since the eldest brother has been here for a while.」

She said this as she put on her summer knit with a cool face and tapped the open door at the back of her hand.

Yes, today is the day when Laura-san’s own elder brother, my brother in law, Alex-shi, is coming to Torquiva.

It seems like the government has completely deemed me as a dangerous person because of the magic crystal factory……

My brother in law, who has been unofficially put in charge of the project to build the super behemoth magic construct, has decided to visit us once every few months to keep an eye on me personally.

Of course, the information about me and the situation at the site would be sent to the royal capital by the imperial intelligence officer so his regular visits were probably a threat to me.

He’s probably saying “If you do something idiotic again, your head will be on a stake right away.”.

Of course, I didn’t even have any intention of doing anything wrong from the start but the look on his face made me tense up.

He’s one scary man.

「I’m coming. Come on, Noah, stand up～ your uncle is coming〜」

「Yai～」

I put my hands on Noah’s sides from behind and make him stand up. I walked with him while supporting him as he tried to head toward his mother.

I was about three steps away from him when I heard a familiar, handsome voice coming from the doorway.

「They are already standing? I see that children grow up so fast.」

「Brother-in-law」

I looked up to see my brother-in-law, Alex Slayra-shi, a handsome blonde man, holding Noah’s little sister, Lacus, in his arms, standing at the entrance of the room.

「Eldest brother, you have arrived? You were earlier than scheduled. I was planning on welcoming you….」

「It doesn’t matter. Schedules rarely go as planned.」

Saying so, brother-in-law entered the room, sat down on the sofa with Lacus in his arms with a thump and looked around the room curiously.

「It’s cool in here.」

「My husband’s invention」

Laura-san pointed to the air conditioner with her thumb, somewhat proudly. Brother-in-law, who was petting Lacus’ golden hair, turned his lapis lazuli eyes to her.

「Invention?」

「I made a…… cheap little tool that keeps the temperature right if you put magic crystals in it……it’s not worth mentioning…..」

I’m just saying that this time, I made a useful magic tool and I have nothing to be ashamed of……but since I’m saying it to brother-in-law, I’ve become a bit nervous.

He snorted at my attitude and got up, leaving Lacus on the sofa, and peered seriously into the blower of the cooling magic tool.

His disheveled bangs, Lacus’ fault, became even more disheveled with the wind but….wind, rain, or snow, a picturesque person is still picturesque.

He brushed his messy hair back in a disgustingly stylish way and cleared his throat cynically.

「As usual, he’s a man willing to go to great lengths to make things easier.」

「Y-yeah……」

My brother in law’s job was to inspect the super behemoth beast type magic construct and to keep an eye on me. Naturally, his business is not at his little sister’s house nor with his cute niece and nephew but at the building dock outside the city.

Thus, I headed out of the city in a horse drawn carriage with him, who looked somewhat grumpy, as if he hadn’t had enough fun with his nephew and niece.

It’s easy to say the destination. “Go to the giant” will do.
