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

“You might as well know. Currently, we, the Church of Death Parade, continue to clash with the forces called ‘Darkness’.”

“Darkness… … is it?”

I narrowed my brows like a story I had heard for the first time.

“They say they have the technology to forcibly enslave the spirits and keep them under their control.”

“The spirit… … Such nonsense… … .”

When I made a surprised expression, Grans nodded her head in understanding.

“But they made it possible. In fact, even those who deal with the highest level of spirits have been discovered… … . And they say they have a small number of members. So, avoid clashes with them as much as possible. It will be difficult to deal with them with your current skills.”

“… … I will keep that in mind.”

I lowered my head with a slightly nervous expression. Inwardly, he raised the corners of his mouth to the tips of his ears.

Beware of clashes with Darkness? I’m the captain of that darkness’s second headquarters, you bastard! What will he do when he finds out who I really am?

The moment he threw a sneer at Grans, Sophia’s sister’s name came up in his mouth.

“Is that really true?”

I opened my eyes as wide as I could and trembled.

It was truly a Halli X class performance.

“I, really, sister… … .”

“Yes, he will be alive.”

He had assumed that the news of his sister’s survival had reached Grans’ ears through the third apostle, Kravey.

It should be within the expected range.

But now is the time to act out a big surprise.

As if I had found hope, I bit my lip while my eyes trembled. Are you acting too much? But this was just right.

“There is no choice but to break off the marriage with the Welford family. And since the engagement with the crown prince was also broken… … He intends to marry Sophia with the third prince of Lyard. From what I heard, they were pretty close at the academy.”

“… … Yes, it is.”

Also, this part is not too different from the original.

“If there’s a problem… … It is difficult to find out where Sophia is and what she is doing. If it wasn’t for that guy, things wouldn’t have gone this far… … . Tsk tsk.”

The ‘that guy’ he’s talking about is probably Kravey.

“In that case, I’ll personally ask my sister… … .”

“No, keep quiet for the time being. The search for Sophia is already underway within the Church.”

“But my sister went missing and already… … !”

“Certainly considering the past times… … . We should consider the possibility that the child is dead. then… … All you have to do is connect Millien with Highness Lyard.”

After all, this man has no qualifications as a parent.

I lowered my head and got a little angry. Then, as if to show it to Grans, he gritted his teeth.

He looked at me and let out a small sigh.

“I have already heard that Sophia approached you from several years ago. but… … I didn’t expect that there would be so much affection.”

Still cold voice.

However, the anger just now was 50% sincere acting.

After I was silent for a moment, Grans closed her eyes and continued.

“The search will continue for another year. If the child is not found during the search, a funeral will be held, so be prepared.”

“egg… … I will.”

I answered with difficulty.

He passed right past me.

Chapter 92

92. The Darkness of the Spay One Family (3)

The moment Grannes was about to get out of the underground foundation and go upstairs, I had a moment alone with my head down.

Servan is watching from behind, so I’ll have to keep acting until the end.

Servan was overhearing the conversation between Grans and me from a place about 10 meters away. He waited quietly for me to move.

sh*t.

‘With this… … Is this a platform to obtain information on the headquarters of the Church?’

I erased my smile and raised my head. Then he turned around and approached Servan.

When I came out of the dark foundation, a wave of gold greeted me again.

Damn, I already put my mind on it… … Human greed seems inevitable.

Swoop-

I moved my eyes and looked at the magic tools installed inside the safe.

‘To install such a nasty magic tool… … . How careful are you?’

The magic tools I saw at the Gold Shop the other day.

It’s not impossible to destroy, but it seemed like I had to cast at least the 5th circle magic to destroy all the security devices.

And, as I thought a moment ago, whether the ceiling of the safe will withstand the 5th circle magic… … I’ll have to check it out in several ways.

‘Whoa, let’s be satisfied with the loan for now.’

The feeling of having to say goodbye to the golden waves.

It felt like my heart was choking.

After becoming a 3rd-class member of the church, Grance began to support the Ardennes family in earnest, and then treated me like a ‘real’ son.

Yes, for the Spey One family… … Also, it must have only become a tool for the church.

but… … .

“Yes, I understand. father.”

I used the title of ‘Father’ instead of the title of ‘Patriarch’ to express that I am a member of the Spey One family.

* * *

Kayneth calls Grans his father.

The attendants who witnessed the scene looked shocked.

“Um, did the Count really approve of Master Keynes?”

“but… … It would be natural. In addition to being a 4th Circle mage, the young master holds the title of Viscount.”

“It seems that even the Ardennes Company is on a winning streak these days. I heard that the Spay One family started to support the Ardenne Company in earnest?”

By the time the attendants’ surprise had spread to the entire family. Upon hearing the news, Serene looked at Grans in shock.

Then, he glared at Kayneth, who was about to start eating, with his murderous eyes as if he were going to kill him, and his shoulders trembled with anger.

It wasn’t just Serene.

Delt, who returned home belatedly, also stared at Keynes with bloody eyes.

‘Um, such trash… … !’

At the moment when the eyes of the two were filled with anger and shock, Celia, the mother of the two, glared at Grans with a dissatisfied expression while biting her lip.

The one who messed up Serene’s engagement and spread Delt’s gossip. If possible, I wanted to get Keynes out of sight right away.

‘What the hell were we talking about? No way, Eren… … No, it’s not like that.’

Celia thought about the food in front of her.

It has already been three days since Keynes returned to her hometown. And Celia couldn’t help but tremble with a little anxiety at the appearance of Kayneth, who had been called to the room every day for three days.

and… … .

‘this… … . Doesn’t that feel pretty bad?’

Kayneth, who was watching the three of them, began to eat with the corners of his mouth twitching.

Serene and Delt’s angry eyes were unexpectedly refreshing.

‘Umm~ It’s a beautiful taste.’

Despite the ferocious stares around him, Kayneth spends his meal time slowly tasting the taste of the food.

Phyllis, who was looking at it, had to make a subtle expression in many ways.

Celia’s hard expression and Delt and Serene’s eyes full of anger.

She was also in a situation where she should have been refreshed, but… … I wanted to laugh, but I couldn’t laugh properly. Rather, he was busy keeping an eye on Kayneth.

And Kaynes, who noticed Phyllis’ gaze early on, enjoyed the food while ignoring the surrounding situation.

From noble mtl dot com

At that moment… … .

“Kenneth, please follow me to the room after you finish your meal.”

At Grans’ remark, Kayneth nodded obediently.

“Yes, I understand.”

* * *

Three days after returning to my hometown.

No, is it the fourth day today?

I have been called to go every single day.

While there were people who looked at me with disapproval, the attendants and retainers of the family treated me extremely well as the large-scale support measures for the Ardennes Company began to be implemented.

Large-scale loans from Spayone Bank and rental of various facilities, etc. The Ardennes Corporation was literally riding on the back of a gigantic dragon.

‘I never thought that they would loan me 1 million gold coins at once.’

It is an astronomical amount of 10 trillion won in Korean currency.

I never thought I’d lend that kind of money at once.

Even though it has the world’s best ranking, I was amazed at the distribution of Grans.

and… … .

-Um, are you really saying that Spayone Bank lends that much money?!

“okay.”

Albert’s eyes widened as he burst into amazement.

Among the loans, the amount to be transferred to Ardennes was 500,000 gold coins. In platinum, it is 5,000 coins.

The rest were to be used for the Gold Shop.

There was a desire to use all of the loan money for the gold shop, but… … If that happens, the Spey One family will also feel something.

-… … The Ardennes Corporation will grow several times larger than it is now. And the industries that were preparing now will be able to start in a hurry. however… … Are you sure you’re okay?

Despite Albert’s worried voice, I nodded my head calmly.

“I can afford the interest. The Ardennes Chamber of Commerce only reserves interest on 500,000 gold coins. The rest of the interest will be paid by me.”

-… … .All right.

Repayment date of 10 years. A contract was signed to repay all loans at maturity.

The amount to be repaid was huge enough to take your breath away, but wouldn’t all the cases be over in 10 years anyway?

If the Speywon family falls into your sister’s hands, the loan will be of no concern.

‘But it’s definitely staggering. 50,000,000 GP in gold points. Even if you buy magic tools or drugs with this, it will be difficult in many ways to handle everything at the Gold Rush Auction House or the Spay One Auction House.’

Should I make an auction house at this point?

When I register an item, the auction house takes a certain amount of commission including tax.

So far, pure fees have been handed over to the Gold Rush Auction House and the Spay One Auction House, but if Arden makes an Auction House, the Arden Trading Company will be able to take the fee.

Even if others don’t register for auction, I can do everything by myself.

‘Seriously thinking about it… … No, there’s nothing to worry about. However, if you open an auction house in the island, you may be checked in many ways by the Gold Rush auction house, so I’ll have to open it in a nearby city on the island.’

I passed the thoughts that came into my head to Albert.

He had a slightly negative expression on his face.

-It is not difficult to obtain a permit from the central government office. And it will be possible to get the building of the auction house right away. But the quality of the auction and the customers… … .

food.

Kayneth laughed lightly.

“Auction items will be taken care of by the owner of the gold.”

-… … Are you okay?

“Okay, I’ll supply you with top-of-the-line items somehow, so prepare a platform to gather customers.”

-then… … . Yes, I understand. Leave the publicity to us. And the auction house… … We will open in the city of Nahalun, which is about 15 km away from the islands. Although the scale itself is of the level of a medium-sized city, it is a place where no auction house has been built yet. There is no special advantage, but just because it is close to the system, you will be able to attract a variety of customers.

“… … Yeah, that wouldn’t be too bad.”

-and… … I’m sorry, but I’m going to make a big deficit in the first auction.

At the word deficit, I tilted my head.

And soon I understood Albert’s thoughts. The big deficit that Albert mentioned will be a huge publicity later.

A brand new auction house. The customers who would visit such an auction house would be the owners of several small and medium-sized merchants and ordinary people.

-I will make them knights by winning bids for expensive items at low prices.

As an example, imagine that a rumor circulates that a top quality potion was sold for 100 gold coins.

Of course, it is surprising that an ultra-expensive item called the highest quality potion was submitted to the new auction house, but if an item with an average bid price of more than 300 gold coins was auctioned off at only 100 gold coins… … I’m sure there will be a big commotion.

“Yeah, if that’s the case, it doesn’t matter. And put 5,000 platinum coins in a subspace pouch and send them to the mansion of Jedo.”

-Yes, I will. So, when… … .

“I will contact you when I return to the Islands. I guess I will have to stay here for a few more days.”

-All right.

5,000 Platinum Coins to be refilled in the Gold Shop.

I have the ability to double or triple that amount at once.

Now that I think about it… … The gold shop is a scam, right?

‘Besides, I can greatly strengthen my abilities in a short time, so destroying the church… … .’

Of course, it would be better to be careful in many ways until the domestic nobles cooperating with the church are sorted out.

“More than that, I have to hurry up and start with the organization. No matter how strong I become, the size of these guys… … It is impossible to even guess.”

I spent several days in the main building with miscellaneous thoughts.

And during the break, I stopped by the 2nd annex and met the maids.

“Um, are you really a 4th circle mage?!”

“From His Highness, the Third Prince, the Ardennes family… … !”

“If you could at least give us a tip… … .”

The maids expressed surprise and a little dismay.

but… … .

“Hey, it’s late, but it’s a birthday present.”

Accessories sold for 30 to 50 silver coins.
