“Aww…the head…”

I came to my senses thanks to the throbbing pain and the cold wind surrounding my skin.

Whatever my last memory was, I’m sure it’s nothing other than trying to make fun of Illisha and getting hit.

Of course, I may have been mischievous, but who knew that I would beat up my only younger brother so mercilessly?

Although she is not my real sister, she is the only family I have.

My sister let me know that I, a gangster who had been running around in nominal alley gangs and stealing other people’s money, could be of help to someone.

Sister Illisha is a sister whom we can respect, who is infinitely kind to the weak and infinitely strong to the strong.

“But…that’s right…Isn’t it too much to throw it away, sister…”

Was someone trying to erase my traces or bury me? As I stood up, rustling leaves and stones fell down on my body.

“Ettt…Oh, it’s dust.”

I stood up, shaking off the dust, and looked around.

Because the sun has already hidden behind the ridge, I cannot see the surroundings clearly and my field of vision feels narrow.

Instinctively, I grabbed a sturdy tree branch nearby and lit it on fire using a match I had in my pocket.

As the surroundings suddenly became brighter, I let out a sigh of relief.

―Wheeing

The sound of the wind passing through the bushes makes me instinctively flinch.

A night in a forest consumed by darkness is tens or even hundreds of times more dangerous than an alley.

There are many monsters that are basically nocturnal, so they are more active at night, so if you were to meet them now, it wouldn’t be a strange situation.

“Sister…little one…”

Suddenly being alone makes me feel depressed.

Was it because of the darkness that made me want to see that glasses-wearing kid whom I didn’t normally like, or was it because I had become a little closer to him in a short period of time?

“Caaa!”

“Hiik!”

I was surprised once again by the sound of birds chirping and flying.

Every time something like this happens, Sister Illisha always scolds the big guy, asking what’s so scary about something like this, but what can I do, what’s scary?

People say this.

Why are you so timid and pretentious despite your size? Are you really an adventurer? That’s why I always pretended to be strong.

I spoke louder, exaggerated my actions, and tried not to look belittled.

My sister understood me like this.

“I want to see everyone~ Ughhh!!”

I shout into the air.

Right now, I wish someone would show up and come get me.

Did that earnest wind reach the sky? A flickering light on the other side of the bush caught my eye.

It would definitely be the older sister and the little boy.

Well then, they are not the people who will leave me behind.

I was so moved and happy that I ran forward and waved my hand.

“nu―”

When I saw the silhouette getting closer, I held my breath and quickly closed my mouth.

Because the owner of that flickering light was not someone I knew.

“Huh?”

I tried to extinguish the torch by blowing on it, but the flame was already burning brightly and showed no sign of going out.

I quickly threw the torch on the ground and stepped on it to put out the fire, holding my breath as best I could.

“What, what’s wrong?”

“No, something just happened…”

“Didn’t you hear the animal sound wrong? Is there anyone here at this hour?”

“That too.”

The voices exchanging answers passed behind the wooden pillar where I was hiding.

I peeked out a little to see who the voice was.

Although their faces were not clearly visible because they were wearing white robe hoods, this secret group all had the same clothes and equipment.

Among the men in shabby clothes who looked like they were of the lowest class in the background, the man with a weak body and strange eyes could not keep his body still, like a puppy that wanted to poop.

“Ha…Anyway…”

Among the people whose faces were hidden in robes, a man with a deep voice became irritated and took off his hood.

I was a little surprised to see that familiar face.

That face was that of a close friend with whom I lived and had fun while working in a back alley organization, and what’s more, those fierce eyes and the scar on the lower right side are obvious.

“You stupid bastard! I told you to be self-respecting, but you couldn’t stand it and got into an accident?”

The guy who was once a close friend kicked the weak man in the stomach, causing him to fall and cover his stomach and let out a groan.

“Sorry, Kai…”

Kai Ilbin, it was a name I had forgotten for a while.

Unlike me, who wanted to get out of the organization, he boasted that if this big project was accomplished properly, he would be able to make even more money.

He didn’t know exactly what that big deal was, but he sent a letter saying that the size of his organization had grown significantly the last time he heard from him.

I remembered that in that letter, she boasted that she should not just follow the tail of an idiotic woman and should come over to her whenever she wants to.

“Just know how to use that power! They put a guy they know as the leader! I was a moron!!”

I was just listening to their conversation as I heard an unknown sound.

Kai clicked his tongue and continued to kick the fallen man.

The man just groaned in pain and prayed humbly like a fly on a fish.

“Sin, sorry! Well, that’s right, because other adventurers suddenly got involved, uh, I had no choice!”

Other adventurers? Are you really talking about Illisha and the little guys?

If you said there were adventurers around here, they would probably be that.

My intuition that if that guy named Kai found out that Illisha was involved in this, he would definitely be in big trouble made the hairs on my body stand up.

Because you are the one who created the scar on my face.

The organization I stayed in, [Red Two-Headed Snake], was actually an organization with a flashy name, but it was a third-rate organization that took money from poor merchants as protection fees.

I was sick of that and wanted to run away.

Sister Illisha made a deal with Kai so that I could live a new life.

In the process, Kai was left with a scar on his face.

“Fuck! You said that shit to some strange girl the other day and you’re doing this again?”

Kai screamed and kicked the man without touching his face or stomach, and while breathing heavily, he grabbed the man’s head with one hand.

“Do you think I’m scooping up medicine for this purpose?”

approximately? The word medicine clearly came out of Kai’s mouth.

At that moment, a memory came to mind even for me, who is not very smart.

A few days ago, I met a guy in an alley who was said to be a drug addict.

“Then…could it be…that guy is DH?”

The other day, a kid with glasses definitely said that.

Among those who manufacture aphrodisiacs, there is one who is the best.

Kai: Could it be that this guy even touched the aphrodisiac? Is that why they were so proud of the size of the organization?

I must convey this matter to the glasses-wearing kid and Illisha.

But how? Should I wait like this for those guys to leave and wait until morning?

“One bastard can’t even be contacted…Tsk, where are you and what are you doing?”

The guy Kai is talking about is definitely the crazy guy he saw in the alley.

I carefully let the saliva flow down the back of my throat so as not to make any noise.

“At least, it’s a good thing that he was caught for attempted murder and rape… If he was caught for something related to drugs… you know? Doesn’t it end with death?”

When I spoke while looking at the fallen man, he looked scared and nodded.

Kai let out a heavy sigh, let go of the man’s hair, and shook off his hands.

“More than that, those adventurers you mentioned…what do you think of them?”

“Woman, are you talking about those guys?”

“If you lose a fight with a idiot who only knows his strength, it means he’s pretty strong, but you need to do some research in advance so there won’t be any problems later. You should also keep your mouth shut”

Those words took my breath away.

If he finds out that Illisha is among the adventurer’s group, he will definitely kill everyone, including Illisha, the kid with glasses, and the silver-haired girl.

In particular, he might do something even more terrible to Illisha, whom he doesn’t have a good relationship with.

What if the identity of the older sister and the little boy is revealed like this?

What if I found out that it was I and Ilicia who took care of the body of the drug addict I saw last time? It would turn into an irreversible situation.

At the end, only destruction awaits.

“Ah, that is…”

There is one thing I learned while hanging out with Sister LaBoille.

If you have received a favor, repay it somehow.

It’s time to show kindness to Illisha, who gave me a new chance at life, and to the little guy with glasses who helped me.

There is no cowardly Laboil Gran Sanche.

Men have guts! That’s me, La Boille Gran Sanche!

With a promise, I backed away from the pillar I was hiding behind.

“Who are you!”

“Woman, Kai, how are you?”

I greeted him as warmly as I could and waved at him, but all I got back was the sharp blades of his subordinates aimed at my neck.

It felt like the sharp blade would soon separate my neck from my body.

But I won’t be scared.

Sister Ilicia…does this mean that this man, LaBoille, has grown up a little?
