I Became the Younger Brother of the Female Protagonist in the Novel

As for the expenses, it would be about a few dozen silver coins.

“ha… … .”

I leaned back on the backrest for a moment and closed my eyes.

And I tried to close my eyes to soothe the fatigue even a little.

The moment I was about to close my eyes, the carriage stopped.

I tilted my head for a moment thinking, ‘What happened?’, but when I heard the coachman’s grave voice, I burst into a small laugh.

“Brother, we have arrived at the academy.”

damn what’s going on. 1km was such a short distance.

I tried to close my eyes even a little, but I had to cover my forehead with my right hand while slightly frowning.

and after a while

rattle.

The carriage door opened.

In front of the door was a movable staircase that the coachman had set up beforehand.

I stepped on it and got off the carriage lightly.

“then… … . I will be waiting for you at this place at 4:00 PM.”

“Yes, it was hard.”

The coachman in front of me is someone who has lived 20 years longer than me.

But as an aristocrat and employer, I spoke comfortably to him. Of course, I felt a little uncomfortable and guilty about treating him as an adult.

However, the people employed in the Ardennes usually gave me a burdened expression whenever I, a nobleman, used honorifics.

‘Well, that’s what I expected, but… … .’

I did them a favor.

And implicitly demanded loyalty.

The existence that saved me from the bottom life.

Certainly, they will have a loyalty proportional to the despair of the past.

Also, is it because the fact that I am a noble is revealed? The people of Arden began to look up to me more.

‘It’s not enough that he was the third son of the Spaywon family, and now he has gained the title of Viscount and became independent… … .’

For them, who are accustomed to the status society, the existence of me may be special in many ways.

No, did I overthink it?

I scratched my head with an embarrassed expression.

Then he started walking towards the Faculty of Magic building.

Tumble.

The bag that Rin had carried every time was now held in her right hand.

‘This gaze… … It’s going to be difficult to get used to.’

Immediately after the school trial. My name has become so famous that everyone in the academy knows it.

Because he is the one who expelled his half-sister from school in order to clear his sister’s false accusation.

Even the expelled half-sister is the eldest daughter of the Speywon family. Is it because of the fact that Serene H is a Speyone?

The school newspaper department focused on the incident for several days and published tens of thousands of newspapers so that all students of the academy could know about it.

‘… … Thanks to that, I was able to easily bury the recordings.’

I am Your Highness Lyard. No, I went into the Magic Faculty Building while giving my thanks to Pelliel-senpai for a moment.

“Ah, I see… … Should I look into the club as well?”

“Are you thinking of joining the club?”

Someone behind my back spoke to me.

And let’s turn our heads to that voice.

“Good morning. Mr. Keynes.”

I could see Ardeal waving with a smile on his face.

“… … Yes, good morning.”

I became friendly with Ardeal, but he still used honorifics, unlike me, who uses casual language.

One raises the horse, the other lowers the horse. Can we really call this a friendship?

but… … .

‘Well, since I said with my own mouth that it’s comfortable to use honorifics… … . There is no need to forcefully change it. But if it’s going to be like this, wouldn’t it be better for me to use honorific?’

His gentlemanly behavior and way of speaking are completely ingrained in his body. Since then, numerous female students have held Ardeal in their hearts.

And as I started walking down the hallway with Ardeal, I heard the voices of several female students around me.

“I had a conversation with Kayneth the other day, and he was really kind. To think that a person like that goes to entertainment districts every day… … . It’s something that can never happen.”

“Right, I heard that Lady Kaynes assaulted the maids of the head family and bullied the villagers, but I firmly believed that someone as warm as Kaynes would commit such an ugly act!”

The contents of the conversation that seemed to deny the rumors spread by Serene.

“Oh, are you two together today?”

“I know. More than that… … It really seems to purify the eyes. Why aren’t there any male students in our class who look like Kayneth or Ardeal?”

“I also want to take classes in A-1 class.”

“If I did, I wouldn’t be able to listen to the lecture properly because I was staring at the two of you.”

“Heh heh… … . That too.”

“Ah, but really, as rumored, the two of you… … .”

From the useless story called, to the strange misunderstanding.

I want to close my ears right now.

‘My, please don’t drive me that way.’

Whenever I heard the faint sound of their conversation, I got goose bumps all over my body.

I took a deep breath and listened to Ardeal’s story.

So that you can’t hear the conversation around you.

“Ah, in the case of the sports club… … .”

Numerous clubs exist in the academy.

And Ardeal explained the rough parts about him one by one.

“And if you’re looking for networking, I don’t think the Ministry of Education, where Her Highness the Second Princess is currently the head, isn’t bad either.”

“society… … wealth?”

“yes. Of course, you can only join with the approval of Her Highness, the 2nd Princess. By the way, the children of high-ranking families are all members of the Ministry of Social Affairs.”

“Then, are you also a member?”

At my question, Ardeal nodded as if it were natural.

“Sure. It’s a great place to network.”

Among the numerous clubs, this is the most suitable space for networking.

I was slightly moved by Ardeal’s remarks.

However, when he heard that Delt was also a member of the Social Affairs Club, his eyes narrowed.

“Other than that, the eldest daughter of the Duke of Crantes, the head of the aristocratic faction, the 1st Princess Rosen G. Crantes, is also a member.”

Rosen G Krantes, the heir to the Duke of Crantes.

As for me, I had hoped that Sophia would make a connection with her.

As the Duke of Crantes is the head of the aristocratic faction, Rosen must have formed various personal connections within the academy.

‘If I can build a relationship with her, I’ll be able to quickly improve my older sister’s reputation.’

At least, as Serene was expelled through the theft case, most of Sophia’s gossips were judged to be false.

But even that caused some confusion by bursting out speculative statements from some students, ‘Maybe it was like that in the past.’ The existence that can put an end to even such confusion in an instant is a woman named Rosen G. Krantes.

‘Well, if there’s a problem… … It must be that the Speywon family is one of the most influential families in the imperial faction, and that the Duke of Crantes is the head family of the aristocratic faction.’

Two factions that are like enemies. In particular, the Speywon family and the Crantes family were beings that could not be mixed like water and oil.

“It’s a little more surprising than that. To think that Her Highness, the Second Princess, would have accepted Princess Crantes into the Ministry of Social Affairs… … .”

“Even at the academy, it must mean that the act of distinguishing between the aristocracy and the imperial faction is ugly. They say that formally outside status is of no use at this academy.”

From noble mtl dot com

“Hmm… … .”

“And when Princess Crantes joined the Ministry of Social Affairs, the head of the Ministry of Social Affairs was not the Second Princess… … That is probably the biggest reason.”

“hahahahaha, come to think of it… … I guess.”

Why didn’t I think of that? If you think about it a little, it would be natural.

When Ardeal smiled brightly, I scratched the back of my head with a shy expression.

“If you have time after school, how about visiting the Social Affairs Department? No matter how I look like this, I am a special member of the Ministry of Social Affairs, so I have the right to recommend Kaynes as a member of the Ministry of Social Affairs.”

“Special member… … ?”

“In the Ministry of Social Affairs, there are students who are recognized as special members depending on their family’s influence. And if you receive a recommendation from them, Her Highness, the head of the department, can’t help but think positively about the recommended student joining. If there is no special reason, registration will proceed normally.”

In the end, you mean that even inside club clubs, they are divided into general members and special members, right? Would this be considered discrimination?

When I put on a puzzled expression, Ardeal smiled bitterly and raised his right hand.

As if there was still something left to say.

“Also, when I joined the Ministry of Social Affairs, I told you that there was no distinction between the imperial faction and the aristocratic faction.

In the end, it means that the external environment is reflected inside the academy as well.

I let out a small sigh and nodded my head at Ardeal’s lengthy story.

“Okay, then I’ll ask for guidance after school.”

“Yes, leave it to me. Ah, come to think of it, Ms. Neris also has a recommendation. If it’s the recommendation of Miss Neris and I, Her Highness will surely approve of joining.”

“… … No, the recommendation is fine.”

You don’t have to sign up to get a referral ticket.

If Her Highness, the princess, did not approve of my joining, I intended to obediently follow him.

It’s not like you have to join the Social Affairs Club somehow.

‘and… … .’

The appearance of the next Marquis of Sepilod using honorifics and actively trying to help me as a mere viscount… … It was definitely burdensome.

Did the people of Ardennes feel this way too?

‘ha… … .’

After I let out a small sigh in my heart.

drooling.

I entered the classroom with Ardeal.

Episode 48

48. Ministry of Social Affairs (2)

The moment I took my seat.

The students began to gather one by one.

“It’s midterm exams soon. Besides, there is a practical evaluation next month… … .”

“If you are Kenneth, you will definitely win first place. Needless to say, the practical evaluation, as well as the written exam… … .”

At the stories of the students, I shuddered and showed humility.

but… … Well, in the practical evaluation, there will be a 99% chance of getting a perfect score over the next six years.

The 4th circle magic known to the outside world would be sufficient.

And this semester’s midterm exam will also be able to easily get a perfect score. Because the course of the first semester of the first year that you are learning now is only at the level of elementary school on Earth.

I’ve been reviewing it every time, but is it really necessary? It is said that questions that are easy enough to raise such questions are asked in the exam.

Because of this, even though the time for midterm exams was approaching, I listened to the lecture in a very relaxed manner.

‘what… … . Everyone sitting here must have prepared for the first year course in advance.’

Are you prepared for it?

It seems that the academy occasionally mixes up a few difficult questions in order to rank students.

If so, the form of the problem will become a little complicated, or it will be problems that are only at the level of sophomores.

‘At that level, it doesn’t matter if the review time is reduced. Now, it is better to prepare for the next incident than the exam… … .’

Next month, first-year students, including me, will take the first practical evaluation at the dungeon of hell located near the system.

Well, considering the practical score, you should be interested in that as well.

However, now I had to pay more attention to the practical evaluation of the second grade than the first grade.

In this first practical evaluation, one of the famous swords of ancient times, Dragon Killer Delbella, would be in the hands of Sophia.

‘but… … Before that, my sister will encounter the Death Parade guys.’

Heartron Dungeon is the place where the first practical evaluation for sophomores takes place.

In this dungeon, Sister will collide with the Church’s third apostle, Cravey.

Even though it’s stronger than the original… … Will it be possible to reach an apostle-level being?

At that question, I shook my head.

‘If that’s the case, the dungeon will collapse and fall into the underground space as in the original story.’

And the sister who wandered underground will eventually reach the secret room where the dragon slashing sword, Delbella, is sealed.

‘If I get Delbella, my dependence on Elaim’s abilities will greatly decrease.’

It means that he will be reborn as a true spirit swordsman.

To be honest, I also wanted to go to Heartron Dungeon with my sister.

However, the battle with Kravey is one of the opportunities for my sister to grow.

As she experiences defeat herself, she will realize how powerful the apostles of the Death Parade are and how lacking in her own abilities.

‘that… … I can’t get in the way.’

No matter how family it is, if protection is overdone, it will become poison someday.

I closed my eyes for a moment and passed the lecture pointlessly.

And after lunch, let’s finish the afternoon lecture. Ardeal came to my seat with Katarina, Neris, and Jade.

“Shall we start soon?”

“Okay, let’s go.”

We left the Faculty of Magic building and immediately moved to the Ministry of Education building.

And when I arrived at my destination, I burst out laughing with an expression of absurdity.

“No way, this building… … .”

“Yes, unlike the other clubs, the Ministry of Social Affairs is the official social organization of the academy, so we are using the entire building as a club.”
