“You, you… What are you doing now… ?”

I asked with a shocked expression, but Eterna just smiled at me with an expression that showed she had discovered something interesting.

“Well, the bulletin board is fun, right? I hide myself and say strange things… Even if you come up with a strange concept, you won’t be caught.”

“… ”

I couldn’t say anything.

In the pad that Etherna was showing in the air, I was confused that the owner of the Ether Tower had suddenly changed to me.

Is this crazy? I honestly thought that was it.

“Still, this nickname… If you look closely, there is nothing wrong with what you said.”

It seemed like he was trying to say, “Isn’t that the nickname?”, but after reading my nickname, he looked at me and said that.

No, that…

I have a lot to say, though.

no…

“Ah… ”

It’s a disaster.

I honestly didn’t do it because I liked that nickname.

He asked me to come up with a nickname, and in Hyundai, where I used to live, people often use such vicious nicknames when participating in communities, so I just created one for a while to compare it to my current situation.

I wasn’t planning on using that nickname from the beginning, so I tried to change it right away.

‘If I had known that points were needed to change it, I wouldn’t have done it… !’

Yes.

Sadly, in order to change your nickname on this bulletin board, you had to use points earned by being active.

Usually, a free nickname change opportunity is provided only for the first time, but I don’t know why there is nothing like this when everything else exists.

In the end, I didn’t want to be active with that nickname, so I created a new account and just kept an eye on it.

However, Eterna nominated me and made me the top administrator, and the account with that nickname, which was probably the first one I created and became my main ID, became the top administrator…

There was no other way to explain it.

‘crazy… ‘

Does this make any sense?

Things got so twisted like this?

I looked at Eterna with trembling eyes.

As if my weakness had been discovered, I couldn’t say anything to Eterna.

That was natural.

The acting I have done so far has been possible because I have a strong power over people who don’t know anything about me.

The other person is a magical transcendent with power equal to or greater than mine, and my first impression has long since been shattered by this shameful nickname, so even if I pretend to be noble and charismatic now, Eterna will only see me as a laughingstock.

Of course, there was no way I could maintain a poker face.

I, who had been acting polite just a moment ago, looked at Eterna with a restless expression.

Then he cautiously opened his mouth.

“I… No, that… The nickname is… therefore… hmm… ”

Ah Mr.

I’m so fucking embarrassed.

ah!!

“Foot, puhahaha!!”

Eterna couldn’t hold back and burst into laughter.

This is not it.

Not really.

In effect, it was as if I was admitting that I had chosen a nickname for fun and couldn’t change it.

‘Should I have proudly stated that my nickname is Super Genius, Beautiful Girl, and Blood Mage…? ?’

I’m really going crazy.

I thought about it for a moment, but I quickly brushed it off as a nonsense story.

I didn’t want to become an extremely narcissistic vampire.

At least for me, that was more embarrassing.

“Ha… I think this is the first time I’ve laughed so brightly since becoming a transcendent… ”

“That’s really good… ”

“Why are you so cute?”

“… ”

When Eterna asked that question with a faint smile, I turned my head and avoided eye contact.

“Do you know that it makes me want to hug you so tight and make you burst into laughter? What makes you want to rub your steamed bun-like cheeks?”

“Ha… ”

“It’s truly my lifelong wish, can’t I hug you just once?”

It’s hard to believe that these words come from a man who must have lived for at least a thousand years.

It seemed like the woman named Eterna had already recognized me as a cute girl who was fun to tease.

‘Should I be treated like this?’

Objectively speaking, that was the case.

To be honest, a thousand years ago, I did all kinds of stupid things to catch the Demon King, so I didn’t want to live a difficult life now.

My true intention right now was to do nothing and make money and live a leisurely life, and the only person who could make that possible was this woman in front of me.

It wouldn’t be impossible to make a lot of money if you went another route, but the process would be cumbersome, and making money using your own powers was likely to create enemies.

The only way to make money without any hassle would be to be an adventurer… It was a thousand years ago, but it’s not clear whether adventurers are still around today.

If you look at how a new country of magic was created and developed over a period of a thousand years.

It is said that, apart from the Magic Tower, there are not only academies but also schools for each discipline.

There must be many ways to make money in this world…

‘This is the easiest way… ‘

Padra is a magic tower owner who can use interesting items, has little work, and is financially comfortable.

Of course, they say that there is no money in the Magic Tower now, and by their standards, I cannot live such a luxurious life.

This place where I am now is where I am most confident.

It is said that raising such a place to the top is easier than defeating the devil.

but…

‘With Eterna’s help… ‘

It may feel like favoritism, but what can you do?

I am the only one in this world who is in a position of transcendence like Eterna.

Even though he followed me in creating blood magic and worked hard, as a persecuted blood tower, it could be said that he succeeded.

So for now…

‘When I bend… !’

Ugh.

I didn’t know that our relationship would end up like this.

“That… My request is… ”

“Oh, that’s right, I had a favor to ask. hmm… I see… ”

Eterna looked worried for a moment in response to my question.

“First, let’s hear what your request is.”

I nodded to Eterna’s words and opened my mouth.

“You said that the relationship between the magic towers is not good these days.”

“Yes.”

“Allow us to determine the ranking between magic towers. To be exact… I hope to hold a big competition where magic towers can compete against each other.”

“… Hmm~?”

What I learned while staying here is that magic towers tend to share knowledge deeply with each other, so high-ranking magicians from other magic towers cooperated with each other to teach common magicians and low-ranking magicians.

In other words, each magic tower is closely connected to each other, and in the case of a difficult theory, several magic towers cooperate with each other to the extent that they come forward to solve it.

However, there is nothing major but cooperation… We have never had an event where we could get to know each other.

In fact, wizards from different magic towers only meet each other through the pad bulletin board or through group assignments given by each school.

So it was inevitable that there would be dissatisfaction with each other.

By using the pad to resolve the growing rift between each other due to things like group assignments and cooperative requests… Their relationship was only getting worse.

But what if there was a way to resolve that bad feeling?

That was my request and suggestion.

“Of course, I will ask that the wizards below compete against each other. The ranking of Magic Tower Week is… In the end, it is an event format.”

Eterna’s eyes narrowed as if she had sensed my plan.

“Looks like there is a way?”

“… ”

Instead of answering with silence.

I knew very well how to help blood mages better handle blood magic.

Other magic towers are impossible… In a way that only our magic tower can do.

“Well, if you are thinking of raising your status, you need to show that not only the magic tower owner, but also the magic tower is strong… ”

“Is it possible?”

“That is possible.”

When Eterna confirmed that it was no problem, I breathed a sigh of relief.

What if I get rejected?

“But there is a condition.”

“Conditions… ?”

I feel uneasy for some reason.

“As I said before, will you take care of all the bulletin board management? Did you give me all the permissions? In Pad, you are like a god. Anyway, since we are both transcendental people, I’ll leave it to you.”

“… Okay, okay.”

Eterna laughed and suggested that I try working under that nickname, but I immediately declined.

“Then can I ask you one more favor?”

“Hmm~? What is it?”

“Please support the Blood Tower. My kids are going to starve.”

“Ugh, I can’t let my precious little brother starve to death! I understand~”

… Are you willing to accept it this time?

I narrowed my eyes and looked at Eterna.

However, Eterna’s smile grew brighter.

“However, if you just grant me one favor~”

“Please?”

“You’re not forcing it. You know?”

“… ”

It’s half forced.

Actually, the lack of money was a rather urgent matter, so I thought I would listen to it first.

“Tell me.”

“From now on, you will call me unni and think of me as your unni! Then I will show my brother a favor.”

Ppajik

As I watched Eterna smiling and talking, I could feel the veins growing on my forehead.

“That’s… ”

“As a bonus, I will manage the bulletin board and give you pocket money. All in all, the money is… Like this?”

It’s been a long time since I figured out the market price while operating the pad for a month.

I won’t let you if you try to scam me by taking advantage of the fact that I’m not yet familiar with this world.

As Eterna manipulated the pad and showed it to me, I counted the number of zeros with eagle eyes.

After reading the amount written down, I looked up at Eterna in silence.

“… ”

“How about it? Do you feel like doing it?”

“When can I start working, sister?”

“Yes, yes, it’s my sister~! Could you please leave out the honorifics and add a lot of cuteness?”

“No… Anyway, it’s not that far… ”

How dare you try to buy me with money?

No matter how much money I give, my pride goes up to that point…

“Double here”

Even if you pay a lot of money…

“Well, that’s… ”

“Hmm then three times?”

money…

“… ”

“The greed is too much… Okay, how about 10 times?”

“I love you, sister~!”

From now on, I will be your younger brother hehe.
