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

“Yes, I was able to obtain information that someone else secretly subdued S-rank monsters.”

“I secretly subdued an S-rank monster… … is it. Certainly, if the 6th Circle mage is acting as an informant, that shouldn’t be difficult.”

Kravey clicked his tongue and thought for a moment.

“… … Now we need to get more detailed information. What is their purpose, and what the hell are they doing? It doesn’t matter if it’s suspicious, so don’t leave out even the smallest information and investigate everything.”

“All right.”

“and… … Has Sophia H Spayone been confirmed alive?”

The subordinate lowered his head and answered Kravey’s question.

“… … It is still.”

“I will definitely be alive. be sure to find it. And keep an eye on the Second Apostle as well. The guy… … They are hiding something.”

A spirit that was with Sophia. Regardless of whether it was a high-ranking or first-class swordsman, the fact that she, as a swordsman, signed a contract with the spirits made Kravei doubt the possibility that the second apostle, Granance, was a spy who had infiltrated the church.

‘… … A traitor is hiding inside the organization.’

Cravey reported to the religious leader the possibility of betrayal by the second apostle, Grans H Speyone, and from there, a thorough investigation and monitoring of Grans began at the church headquarters as well.

On the other hand, the moment when the Church of Death Parade was overturned by Keynes’ remarks.

After escaping the Heartron Dungeon, Sophia and Elaim arrived at a rural village located in the west of the Labadian Empire.

– I’d better take a break here.

“… … Yes, I can’t do it any more.”

She entered the village inn with Elaim.

An inn that uses the first floor as a restaurant and bar.

A group of mercenaries were drinking beer and talking.

“Huh, I thought Elasmo, who was called the water god, would collapse. Who the hell is such a monster… … .”

“Rather than falling for S-rank beasts, he was a self-confident guy who said that he was more than that. I heard that it can be compared to a dragon… … .”

At the sound of the mercenaries talking, Elaim burst into laughter.

– Huh, that’s not even funny. Compare a lizard like that to a dragon?

Ellaim shook her head as if she was dumbfounded.

Sophia smiled awkwardly.

“From the point of view of the human race, Elasmo and dragons must be equally terrifying, so it can’t be helped that they feel that way. More than that, Elasmo’s magic stone… … Would it be helpful if I handed it to Kayneth?”

-Ah, come to think of it… … .

“huh? what’s the matter?”

-Maybe it would have been better to say a word to that kid… … .

When Elaim trailed off, Sophia widened her eyes in surprise.

“Hey, was there a way to contact you?!”

-He signed a contract with Endairon. It’s impossible for me to contact the youngster directly, but it is possible to convey words through Endairon.

“Well, why are you saying that now?!”

It is not possible to carry personal items during the practical evaluation. Because of this, it was Sophia who left the communication link connected to Keynes in the dormitory.

‘Come to think of it, I could have conveyed my words to Keynes through Elim and Endairon, right?!’

I, too, had completely forgotten about that idea.

“So, then, didn’t you receive any transmission from Endairon?”

-that is… … .

Elaim, who was unilaterally blocking transmission with other spirits.

Sophia frowned at the answer.

“Why… … .”

– After treating your wounds, I was constantly focusing on my defense and defense, thinking that the warlock named Kravey might come after me at any moment. And as in the battle with the golem, as soon as I came out of the dungeon, that lizard… … No, your mana was almost drained from the battle with Elasmo.

“ah… … .”

Of course, if Elaim returned to the spirit realm, he could have sent a telegram to Endairon at any time.

However, at that time, Sophia’s mana was almost at the bottom.

It had such a small amount of mana that even it was difficult for Elim to maintain its form.

Because of this, Elim reduced the consumption of mana to a minimum and kept Sofia vigilant until she found a safe place.

Of course, there was also a reason why he had completely forgotten the existence of Kayneth.

“Yeah, but I was able to contact you yesterday.”

-hehehe, I forgot.

Ellaim sticks out her tongue while smiling brightly.

“… … .”

Seeing Elaim like that, Sophia was stunned for a moment.

Of course, since the person himself couldn’t remember it, you can’t just scold her unconditionally.

Sophia closed her eyes and covered her face with her right hand.

“ha… … .”

-… … Are you mad?

Elim asked cautiously.

Sophia shook her head.

“No, I didn’t even think of that method… … .”

-lol… … . Shall I contact you right now?

“… … Yes, please.”

Elaim shows various emotions to Sophia.

Sophia’s affinity for the blue light warmed Elaim’s heart.

Because of this, Elim showed infinite warmth to Sophia, but was always cold to other humans except Sophia.

If only Sophia is safe, I could kill all the human races living in this empire.

As for Keynes… … should be called an exception. Because he is Sophia’s most cherished human race and will be of help to Sophia’s future.

Elim always looked at this world centered on Sophia.

-… … .

Elaim contacted Endairon while activating the electric sound.

The two spirits exchanged stories about the situation so far.

After a while, Elim’s brow furrowed slightly. She relayed to Sofia the actions of Kayneth.

“That child… … Did you jump in there?”

-It seems that you guessed that you are alive based on the fact that I did not return to the spirit realm. But since I couldn’t get in touch, I must have been worried that something bad had happened to you. So you say you entered the dungeon yourself?

“Kenneth… … Are you all right?”

At Sophia’s worried question, Elim nodded.

-Hmm… … . It seems that he was seriously injured when he encountered Craveira, but he’s all recovered now.

Sofia is taken aback by the word injury. However, as if relieved to hear that all of his wounds had been healed, he sighed slightly and furrowed his brows.

“Why did you do such a risky thing… … .”

-Well, as I just said, the first reason must be that you were worried. Consider the opposite case for a moment. If that kid… … No, how would you have behaved when Keynes fell into the basement of the Heartron Dungeon?

“I am… … .”

Sophia bit her lip and bowed her head.

-Anyway, it seems that Keynes is now imprisoned in the dungeon of the imperial castle, probably because he broke through the imperial soldiers and entered the Heartron Dungeon by force.

“that… … !”

-Still, they say that the punishment won’t be heavy because they used stealth magic to cover their eyesight, not killing magic. Besides, the cheeky Third Prince is said to be helping, so you don’t have to worry too much.

“… … .”

-You can do what you need to do now. Keynes didn’t tell anyone about your survival. It means that the existence of Sophia H Speyone is still missing.

Sophia closed her eyes for a moment at Elaim’s remark that she could work freely without reaching anyone’s gaze.

“… … Yes, you are right.”

-Right now, you can always send a transmission to Endairon, so if you have something to exchange with Keynes, tell me.

While saying that, Elaim had to express her surprise at Keynes’ story of breaking through the imperial soldiers and jumping into the underground space of the Heartron Dungeon. No, should I say that I saw it a little bit again?

-Oh, and since Kayneth gave strange information to Kravey, the church guys will be cautious for a while.

“Strange information?”

Sophia tilted her head.

Elaim told them exactly what he had received from Endairon.

Sophia was quite surprised by the story.

Confusing enemies with an organization name that doesn’t even exist in the world.

There was a possibility that the future would be twisted, but Sophia nodded while stroking her chin for a moment.

“surely… … Not a bad story.”

Her knowledge of the future was far too limited compared to the vast amount of information Kayneth possessed.

After graduating from the academy, she had to live as the Welford family’s mistress right away.

Since there was no information about how the Church was going to move, Sophia was able to smile as if she was satisfied with Kayneth’s actions.

“Still, they won’t sit still. Rather, in order to investigate the organization called Darkness, behind the scenes, we will actively conduct investigations in various ways. It’s quiet on the outside, but… … . Oh, then… … .”

Recalling Kayneth’s unintended intention, Sophia opened her eyes wide and looked at Ella.

In response, Elim also faced Sofia and nodded once.

-Yes, Kayneth bought you time to become stronger.

I don’t know if the church was really fooled by Kayneth’s story, but if the warlock named Cravei was fooled… … .

‘… … It must mean that he has a brain and speech skills that are hard to see for a 13-year-old boy. No, was it difficult to see him as a human from the beginning?’

Ellaim couldn’t help but admire Kayneth’s extraordinaryness.

-And if it wasn’t for Uria’s holy water, it might have been really dangerous when fighting the golem.

Elim muttered softly so that Sophia could not hear.

The holy water of Wiria that Keynes supplied to Sophia in the meantime. Thanks to that, Sofia’s mana amount increased rapidly, and Elim was able to use spirit magic more freely.

As a result, with the help of Kayneth, Sofia was able to survive the battle against the Golem and Elasmo, including Kravey.

-This time… … I must say I owe him a debt.

She let out a small smile without Sophia’s knowledge.

After a girl and a spirit king spent the night at an inn in a small rural village, they embarked on a journey to dig into the cult in earnest.

Chapter 59

59. Smoke (1)

“Yes, your sister’s adventure must have begun by now. and… … .”

From noble mtl dot com

daughter.

“I have come to an end.”

Imprisoned in the dungeon of the imperial castle, I looked at the barbed wire in front of me with a blank face. And I touched an old rice bowl rolling on the floor with my finger.

It was Endairon shaking his head with a look of disgust at my appearance.

-… … Hey, your meal is over there.

In the direction he pointed, there was a table made of wood.

And the colorful food that was colonized on the table.

Soft bread, of course. From vegetable-filled soup to steak topped with sweet sauce. In addition, pudding and drinks were prepared for dessert.

Yes, this is my breakfast for today.

The food menu is too fancy to be seen as a prisoner’s meal.

-What the hell are you doing?

“Ahahahaha, I wanted to try saying something like this.”

I took a seat in front of the table while scratching my head in embarrassment.

“Hmm, I never thought they would give you these foods for free every morning. Plus, a cozy bed. Isn’t the treatment too good?”

– Even so, it’s just a prison after all.

At one such endairon, I smiled awkwardly.

However, my life in prison was different from that of ordinary criminals.

On the cold stone floor, clean bedding, not the shabby bedding used by prisoners, was spread out.

And is it because I’m an aristocrat? I was able to wear civilian clothes, not prison uniforms, and at the same time, the soldiers guarding the prison made my prison life as comfortable as possible.

“Did you not hear from your sister?”

-okay.

During my imprisonment, I kept in touch with my sister through Endairon every night.

I spent a few days on vacation, not a vacation, in the dungeon of the imperial castle.

The moment I sliced and ate a steak with a relaxed look.

Tumble.

“… … The prisoner is eating at a leisurely pace.”

His Highness, the 3rd Prince of Lyard, appeared from behind the iron bars.

I chewed the meat and swallowed it with a shy smile at his bewildered look.

gulp.

“Ahahahahaha, today’s meal is more delicious than last night’s dinner. Besides, this sunny sunlight illuminates my prison, which makes me feel even more refreshed. The sunlight seems to be quite good, so could you just let me live here?”

“Noisy. child.”

At my non-joke, His Majesty Ryard smiled. Soon, he changed his expression in an instant and stared into my eyes.

“… … Is Sophia really safe?”

I rolled my eyes several times at his question.

Then, as if reading my thoughts, the Highness said, ‘Answer me, since there is no one.’

“Yes, I am fine. For a while, I can avoid their eyes and do my activities freely.”

“… … Who the hell attacked Sophia?”

He murmured softly, and I paused for a moment before slowly opening my mouth.

“It seems that there was a bit of an accidental collision.”

“An accidental collision… … ?”
