I Became the Villainess's Brother

As I was reading a book in the library, I felt my gaze.

"... Eldor. Why are you staring at me?

"No particular reason"

I get a sigh of relief.

I know exactly why.

Don't let me sneak into the Ore City.

The city of Marken, not so far from here, couldn't have had an 11-year-old going out on his own.

I was about to go shopping for the ore, and Eldor stabbed me in the nail.

"No child should go out alone," he said.

Although I had no choice but to ask my father, unfortunately I was too busy working and not there.

Sebastian was the only other person I could think of, but I'm not even going to let him go away with me, taking the instructions to our servants in one hand.

Said it wasn't that far away, so why don't you just look for ore over there or something, and it'll take half a day.

So this is how I hang out in the library with Eldor.

... I have a hand in buying it.

If the Demon Ore used to repair the Demon Gem is from Marken, it should also be available in the capital of Jackberry Territory.

If you want to say more, we have it in stock in our magic library.

I've seen my magic teacher, Dr. Joshua, handle ore several times in his magic class.

Dr. Credil, a Fortuna magic teacher, also took it out of the magic library and used it, so you can be sure.

There are piles of magic related tools stored in the magic library, and Demon Ore must be part of it.

Even with a mixture of ore that isn't from Marken, you just need to see compatibility next to Arianne's necklace, so you should be able to find it quickly.

The only problem is that if you use inventory, your repair success rate will drop.

The demon ore you use to repair seems to have a better chance of success if it's as fresh as you can.

In other words, demon ore that has been mined and hasn't gone through time is desirable.

Anyway, if you're a skilled technician good at handling demon jewelry, you're too novice. If I'm going to handle it, you'd better have a slightly higher chance of success.

Arianne's necklace is her mother's figure.

It's the only thing in the world, so failure is never tolerated.

So somehow, I want to go to the Ore City of Marken...

"... something on my face"

"No, nothing in particular"

Can you steal this Eldor's eyes and sneak off?

Ever since I got my memories back from my previous life, I feel like Eldor's lost his gap.

You used to be more alert to me.

Phew, I sighed.

◇ ◇

One day I wasn't going to the city of Marken and was bored.

Opportunity came to my lid.

By way of example, Riley came home all of a sudden.

While Eldor was preparing his tea, he whispered softly,

"Leave it to me."

Riley thumbs up a lot.

You're reliable!

"Eldor. I'm sorry, can I get some tea from Bau today?

"From Bau, is it?

Riley's words stopped Eldor for a moment, who had brewed Riley's favorite Bradin tea.

Right.

I don't like Bau tea, so they don't serve it first.

There should be no Bau tea leaves in this room either.

Riley must know that and be saying it.

"It's been a while since I've wanted that tea."

"Yes, sir."

Thank you, Eldor, for leaving the room.

If you don't stretch your legs to the kitchen or the warehouse, there won't be any Bau tea leaves.

"Are we going to this gap?

"Come on, don't be impotent. That's exactly twenty minutes till Eldor gets back, right? They can't go in the meantime."

I can't, and I wave one hand, Riley.

So, what are we gonna do?

Riley whispers in my ear.

"... are you serious?

"Ooh."

Then, Riley laughed.

◇ ◇

"So, Master Riley. Lady Langley, please."

"Whoa, let me handle it!

Eldor bows his head deeply in front of the Weimar family's demon-guided carriage, which was waiting in front of the Jackberry family gate.

I'm staying at Riley's house for three days from today.

... ostensibly.

Actually, we're going to the Ore City of Marken.

Deceive Eldor.

Eldor remains the same, piscilling his unconventional slate-gray colored hair, and the deacon's Sebastian-like eyes are straight.

Sorry, Eldor.

Look at the baggage Eldor has prepared for me.

Just now, Riley's house servant, Trian, was loading his luggage into the carriage.

The travel bag carried in the Magic Carriage contains three days of dressing and souvenirs for Riley's family.

'If you can't go out alone, let's go together. I'm staying at your house, and you're staying at mine. "

That's what Riley heard while Eldor prepared the bau tea.

If you decide to stay at Riley's house, you can certainly move freely.

We've stayed at each other's houses many times, so we wouldn't even be particularly suspicious.

I want to fix Arianne's necklace as soon as possible. I got on with that suggestion without one or two...

Oh, tight.

What's so tight about cheating Eldor, it comes to my stomach.

Eldor tried to come with me, but he asked for Arianne, and Riley rounded him up so hard, he asked him to leave a message.

If I go to Marken and get a compatible ore, I'm really headed to Riley's house, and not all of it is a lie.

Hold still, Eldor, staring at me.

Out of those eyes, I blind myself.

"Langley, get on it. Let's go!"

So that Riley could kick me out, I got into the Magic Carriage.

"Well, you ready?"

When the Jackberries are out of sight, Riley casts a spell in an exciting mood in the Magic Conductor carriage.

The light danced, and I found out what Riley looked like. Then I turned into a simple boy.

Glossy burnt brown hair, scattered face of a scab.

Simple clothes with few decorations that have just been changed.

No matter where you look from, you don't look noble.

As brilliant as ever.

"What do you look like?

"Hmm, no matter what they say you look like. Does it feel right for the city of Marken?"

"… to try to change it"

A grain of light surrounds me from Riley's fingertips.

"How about this?

They give me a hand mirror, and I peek in horror.

"... haven't you changed much?

The color of the hair and the extent to which the eyes are the same burnt brown as Riley's and the fishing eyes are dripping.

Honestly, the rounded outline hasn't changed at all.

I can't change my shape yet.

"... find out?

You're in such a fuzzy shape, aren't you?

"... we'll figure it out, won't we?

Don't look away, Riley!

Well, for fuck's sake, I don't even know the city of Marken.

We'll figure it out. Yeah.

I'll get dressed in simple clothes.

Great, tailor the garments for the marathon.

You encouraged the marathon every day with the thoroughly sized clothes Riley gave me, but you didn't have to cancel as much as you ordered yourself.

Because it's a special order, I thought the tailor would be in trouble if it was cancelled all of a sudden.

"You can wear it alone. A little surprised."

Riley looked at me in my shirt with the buttons on.

Well, usually a servant puts them on.

Shaken by the Magic Carriage for hours.

The speed slowly slowed down and we can see that we're close to our destination.

The Magic Carriage is a carriage by name, but it has little sway.

Perhaps because the horse used is pitch-black and is a demonic conductor created with demonic gems as its nucleus.

Moves and tricks are no different than normal horses.

"Riley, can you make that horse?

"Say stupid. That's a magic guide. I can only use magic."

Even though it would seem easy to move around if I could easily make it. Too bad.

A demon-guided carriage slowly dives through the walls of Marken.

Eventually the vibrant crowd's bragging is fun and I look out only slightly off the carriage curtains.

A little girl points to the demon conductor carriage and she looks happy.

Unlike the city of Jackberry, I wonder if the city of Marken is rare for an individual Magic Conductor carriage to come.

In addition to the girl, I have a gaze to ask this one.

I don't know if it was a good idea, going all the way into the city.

Even though I dressed up in elegant clothes and disguised myself.

Before I went out lying, I tried not to be too conspicuous.

Besides, if you're considered a nobleman, you'll be targeted because you don't like it.

I hope you think of me as an elaborate, little millionaire.

"Stop in front of the Golden Wall Founding Pavilion"

Riley speaks to you.

"You had arranged the inn, too?

"I'd rather not arrange it. What are we going to do? We can't have Nojuku, can we?

"I wonder if it'll take that long"

"Whether you're looking for ore or repairing it, you better watch your spare time. You want to avoid leaving town after sundown, don't you?

"Well, that's true."

Honestly, I was just gonna stop by the city of Marken and get the ore, and then I was gonna head right over to Riley's house.

You snuck a set of craft tools into your baggage.

But Riley, aren't you too handy?

Normally, is it something you can prepare so much for?

"I'm normal. You just don't know the world."

"What. Were you just putting it in your mouth?

"It was all on my face. Look, we're here. We're going down. Can you hold your stuff yourself?

"Yeah."

I'll follow Riley down from the Magic Carriage and receive the travel bag that Trian dropped me off.

Ugh, that's pretty heavy, this.

Though I felt I had gained a lot of strength with my daily stretch and marathon, I still might have my arm strength.

"Dear Reese, I'll hold it"

"Sorry."

Good. Torian gave me a hand with my stuff.

Uh, pity.

By the way, my name is' Reese 'and Riley's name is' Riley 'at an advance meeting.

I thought I had to use even a pseudonym, but let Riley tell me, that seems to be what patience is.

I'm going to follow Riley, who's been sneaking around many times.

Trian takes the lead and opens the doors of the Golden Wall foundation pavilion.

"" Eh. "

Opened, moment.

Me and Riley lost our word at the same time.

"I've been waiting for you"

Opened tip, behind the door.

There, Eldor stood with an icy smile.
