I hurried back to the inn to pick up the fruit of the five-colored tree.

Hearing that he could cure Lily’s illness with just that, his steps were very light.

“panting… Hild, let’s take it a little slower… ”

I guess I was distracted and walked closer to a sprint.

Circe was far away from me, taking a deep breath.

I stopped, waited, and gently hugged her as she approached me.

“I’m sorry. I was so distracted that I couldn’t pay attention to Circe”

“Hmph! Are you really putting too much effort into another girl?”

Circe pouted her lips and complained.

It looked so cute that I couldn’t help but pet it.

“Are you jealous of Lily too?”

“Isn’t Lily a woman?”

“She’s still a child”

“Yes! But you never know when you become an adult! Is it a cliché to marry an older brother who treated you well when you were young?”

As I patted Circe with a fatherly smile, she got a blush on her cheeks and enjoyed my touch.

At the same time, he seemed to have a burning desire to compete with Lily, who was still quite young.

“But wouldn’t you marry Circe first before marrying Lily?”

“… Hibb”

After thinking about Circe’s words and saying that, she suddenly hiccuped with a bright red face.

She blushed uncharacteristically for a magician from the Blue Magic Tower and rubbed her forehead against my chest.

“That’s a foul just now… ”

“… Why?”

“Anyway, it’s a foul… ”

Pat pat-

I patted Circe’s back a couple of times as she spoke incomprehensibly, then held her hand and led her.

“Can you walk fast?”

“You can do it”

“Yes, let’s go”

#

Hissing – get it!

A small rock flew out.

“Aya!”

A young girl with beautiful lavender hair was hit on the forehead by a flying stone and collapsed.

However, the girl did not cry and turned her eyes to find the culprit who had thrown the stone at her.

“What are you looking at!”

Sigh-!

Where my gaze stopped, there were three young boys and two girls who appeared to be around the same age.

When the boy, who was the biggest of the five, made eye contact, he shouted and threw the stone again.

girl. Lily reflexively crouched down and was hit on the arm by a rock the boy had thrown.

“Ah… !”

“Kiki kick. I guess it hurts”

“Let’s throw it again!”

Seeing Lily in pain, the boys became even more excited and looked for something to throw.

Each child picked up a rock in his hand and held it out to the biggest boy.

The big boy picked out the biggest ones and threw them at Lily.

“Die! Die”

“Die!”

Children’s criticisms were mixed among the flying stones.

Lily held back her tears as she faced the evil things flying at her.

“My dad said that! You are an abandoned person”

“That’s right! My uncle said that! They said your sister was a monster”

I know why they do this.

My older sister, Charles, is a sinner.

He once served as Damian’s stooge, and has now become Hild’s slave to pay for his sins.

I know that the reason my sister became Hild’s slave was purely to save herself.

The older sister walked into hell on her own for her younger brother who was dying of illness.

Lily didn’t want to make her sister sad anymore.

So I held back the pain and swallowed my tears.

My sister would have endured even more pain.

“… Hmm… ”

Meanwhile, the big boy was rummaging through his pockets.

What are you trying to do?

Lily looked at the boy through the cracks in her already bruised hands.

Flash!

“… ah… ”

Dagger it.

It was too dangerous an item for a boy to carry around.

The boy, who had no idea how to handle it, held the dagger with clumsy movements and took a stance to throw it.

“… uh… That’s a bit… ”

“Wouldn’t it be dangerous?”

It was only then that the other children noticed the big boy.

However, the boy, caught up in the atmosphere and tainted by evil, could not hear it.

“Die! A trashy bitch”

Sigh-!

A dagger that I don’t even know how to throw properly

It spun around and flew towards Lily.

It was infinitely clumsy and slow compared to what her older sister threw, but it was still fast enough for Lily, who was still young, to avoid.

‘Sister… .!”

Lily closed her eyes, calling out to her sister in her mind.

“… .”

But I didn’t feel any pain.

When I opened my eyes, there was my sister with one eye wide open. There was Charles.

“Sister!”

“… Lily… ”

Charles bent down slightly and hugged Lily with one arm.

Lily was held in her arms and smelled her sister’s scent, which was now only fragrant.

“… Bastards…”

Charles stood up, holding the dagger backwards.

How dare you throw a dagger at Lily?

Charles, who came to look for his younger brother and witnessed this incident, was very angry.

The children who discovered Charles trembled in surprise, and the boy who threw the dagger ended up hitting his butt.

“How dare you do this to my younger brother?”

The hideously distorted face became even crumpled and took on the appearance of a demon.

Shhh…

“Ah… Ah… ”

The boy peed his pants and shed tears.

As if he couldn’t think of anything to apologize for, he kept gaping and said, ‘Ah… ‘He just said something like that.

Charles twirled his dagger with skillful hands and approached the boy and children.

The children, who were already weighed down by the assassin’s murder, could only shed tears and snot and had no intention of running away.

And Charles’ eyes were already half-closed, making it difficult to see reason.

“Uh… No way, sister!”

Lily, who belatedly realized the situation, tried to stop her sister, but she couldn’t take her steps because she had hurt her knee earlier.

“Uh… Sister!”

I desperately tried to call my sister and calm her down, but she wouldn’t stop.

If the older sister continues to harm the boy like this, she will be in real trouble…

“To Lily… dare… ”

With a purple eye glow, Charles raised his dagger.

“Hi… Heeek”

The boy screamed.

“This Jammin bastard is going to get scolded”

Quaaa!

It was then that the chestnuts exploded on the boy’s head.

“… .Master?”

“Oppa!”

Charles’ sense of reason returned again, and Lily happily welcomed the man who appeared at the perfect moment.

Charles’ master. Hild was holding the boy who had wet himself and feeding him honey chestnuts.

“You bastards! where! Only the mean ones! Let’s learn!”

Tight, tight!

Hild fed four consecutive honey chestnuts to the children.

Next to him was Circe, with her arms crossed and a rather stern expression on her face.

“You guys! Mom, do you know that dad is bullying the kids like this?”

“… ”

“… ”

The children said nothing.

But looking at his actions, it was obvious that he was very stubborn.

Circe took out her wizard ID card from her pocket and presented it to the children.

“Your sister was a wizard? uh? Should I tell your parents and make them stop the wizard?”

“Ah… No”

“I was wrong, sister”

It is said that magicians are considered to be high-class professionals, so going to magic school gives them a strong feeling of being the elite of the elite.

However, since these guys are closed-minded, they say that if word of mouth spreads incorrectly, they may fail an interview, so they are truly a group of scum.

Circe said…

“If you bother Lily one more time, I won’t let you go”

After Hild’s stern warning, the children cried and walked away.

Circe clicked her tongue as she watched the children walking away.

“What is going on in the world, you little bastards? Tsk”

You’re young enough, but you’re not cheap…

The words welled up in my throat, but I didn’t bother to say them.

“Lily are you okay? Let’s take a look at the wound”

Lily was carefully held by Hild and showed him the injured area.

It was red and swollen here and there from being hit by stones, and there were also scratches.

“I need to go quickly and get treatment”

“Yes. Let’s go home, Lily”

“… Woong”

Hild held out her hand to Lily, and Lily smiled slightly and took her brother’s outstretched hand.

Charles followed behind the two in silence and lowered his head.

“I understand that you are excited about your younger brother. You can’t act like that”

“Sorry… ”

“I didn’t mean to hear an apology. I said this because I didn’t want Hild to be harmed by your actions”

“… yes… I will be careful”

The two said nothing for a while.

“Isn’t it difficult?”

“… No”

“It’s hard to pretend otherwise… ”

Who do you resemble that makes you so stubborn?

Circe furrowed her brows as she felt herself being seen for a moment.

Even if it’s not you…

It seemed like Selene would respond in the same way.

Circe knows.

How harsh the current gaze on Charles is in Lavita…

Of course. This is the guy who went with Damian… No matter how much they were sentenced to slavery, how many people would you want to kill on sight?

And it is up to Charles to endure it.

Circe didn’t think it was pitiful.

Isn’t it said that it is a good thing to be self-employed?

In the end, these views will be included in the punishment for what Charles did.

however…

Isn’t it a little unlikely that even Lily becomes the target of that arrow…? That’s what I thought.

“We will be able to cure Lily’s illness”

“… Yes?”

Charles suddenly stopped walking.

Eyes staring blankly at yourself.

Circe turned and looked at her.

For an assassin, his eyes are very round and pitiful.

“I went to the Magic Tower with Hild. I met an alchemist who knew how to make elixir. If you use it, Lily’s illness will get better”

In “… Elixir?”

“Yes. Do you know what it is?”

“After knowing… there is… But give that precious thing to Lily?”

“Uh. To Lily”

Tuk-hududu-

Tears fell like rain from my eyes.

Circe was scared when she saw this and ran to Hild.

“Miss! Hild, please do something!”

“Why! What’s going on?!”

Hilde was startled by Circe’s call and turned around.

“Jae is crying again! A little”

“Why! Why are you crying?”

“I don’t know! Just cry!”

“Circe Didn’t you say something bad?”

“What kind of woman do you think I am?!”

“Sister, why are you crying?”

Before I knew it, the three people were surrounding Charles and comforting him.

Charles hugged Lily, rubbing his only remaining eye.

“Because I like it… glad… ”

“Then are you crying?”

“So? Then I guess he’s crying… ”

“Wow- Then I will cry too. Haaah

Lily smiled and took on the appearance of crying, imitating her older sister.

“Oh! Then my brother will have to cry too. Eeenn”

“… What are you doing, idiot?”

“Circe is crying too. Ugh”

“… flaw… Hehehe”

Circe clumsily acted out a cry.

Charles laughed and shed tears for a long time.
