The girl entered Princess Canabi’s hospital room safely.

Judging from the way the knight identified the girl and was furious, it seems like she was someone he never expected to see here.

“What happened to that young lady?”

“Sent safely to the guardian.”

“I see you had a guardian! That’s fortunate.”

Even in the temple treatment center where all sorts of things happen, the girl’s unusual behavior became a hot topic.

Her pretty appearance, which did not match her bold words and actions, made the priests lose their souls.

And everyone was relieved to hear that the girl they had been watching with interest had safely found her guardian.

‘Anyway, I said everyone is nice.’

They might have been offended by the rude behavior without knowing the girl’s identity, but no one showed any sign of it.

‘I wonder if the princess is okay.’

The only good thing is that I found the girl and took her in shortly after I finished treating the princess.

As someone who is of royal blood, he would be reluctant to show weakness even to his family.

Even if it’s your own younger sibling who suddenly comes to visit.

◎ ◎ ◎

“Thank you for your hard work, priest!”

“Thank you for your hard work.”

“Thank you for your hard work!!”

Time to leave work.

While everyone was happily leaving work after finishing their work, I also went to Princess Kanabi’s hospital room to finish my last task.

“Are you still inside?”

I asked the knight guarding the door, and he nodded.

“Yes.”

“Should I come later?”

“No. The princess said to come and listen.”

I don’t like that, but…

After hearing the article, I had no choice but to go into the sickroom.

As soon as I entered, a familiar girl looked at me and opened her eyes wide.

“Isn’t that person your sister’s therapist?”

“Yeah. Looks like you came for treatment.”

He said with a disgruntled expression on the girl’s face.

“Can you not receive treatment from someone other than the author?”

When I first saw her, she was acting all upset and asked why I couldn’t treat my sister, and it seems she’s still unhappy about that.

“Don’t say that. It’s all thanks to this priest that I’m alive today.”

“!!”

The girl spoke in an agitated voice, as if shocked by Princess Canabee’s words.

“You said it didn’t hurt that much!”

Oh, it looks like you lied, but you got caught.

Judging from the fact that she made a mistake that was not typical of a princess, it seems that the girl is someone that Princess Kanabi can trust.

“It meant that I didn’t get sick thanks to the priest’s efforts.”

“Lies! Do you think I’m still a child who doesn’t know anything? I know everything now! You always lie with the excuse that you’re doing it for me!”

The girl suddenly did something out of the blue.

He wiped away the tear stains with the back of his hand, then got up and left the hospital room.

“Oh, did I make a mistake? Follow me. You don’t know what kind of accident you’ll get into.”

Princess Canabi spoke to the knight seen through the open door.

“Yes!”

As the knight who received the order from Princess Kanabi followed the girl, Princess Kanabi and I were left alone.

“……”

“……”

There was a heavy silence.

Just as I was about to open my mouth to break the silence, Princess Kanabi spoke first.

It was a story about a girl.

“As you might have guessed, it’s my little brother.”

“I could recognize her right away because she looked so much like the princess.”

“My sister is a bit unique, so she’s very affectionate towards each other. She must have been shocked to hear the news about me. I wanted to reassure her and send her back, but I completely failed.”

I understand that you don’t want to worry your sisters because they are so close.

But on the other hand, it was natural that her younger sister would feel resentful.

“It must be a very sensitive time for you, so you must be having a hard time.”

“What a struggle! That child is the one who has a hard time having someone as lacking as me as an older sister.”

Every word was filled with affection.

“I was able to endure because of that child. If I were gone, how would that child be able to endure the royal family on his own? That should never happen.”

“The reason the princess held out so well was because of him.”

A sense of responsibility that he cannot leave his younger brother alone in the dangerous palace.

“So, please help that kid not to act out.”

If it’s a sudden action, there’s something you can guess about it.

“I have to make sure you don’t know anything about the issue.”

“Well, I don’t know if it would work out even if I tried not to tell him. He’s the kind of kid who will persistently try to do something until he succeeds.”

Princess Canabi seemed to think that there was a high chance of her being caught because she knew her younger brother’s temper.

“I’m tired. Can you treat me right away?”

“Yes, I understand.”

Princess Kanabi, who was sighing with her hand on her forehead, asked with an expression of exhaustion that could not be hidden, and I gladly proceeded with the treatment.

◎ ◎ ◎

I felt like I didn’t want my younger sibling to see me in pain, so I pressed my divine power all over my body and left the hospital room.

‘Now all I have to do is say my evening prayers and I’m done.’

My body felt heavy at the end, probably because I used up a lot of divine power.

Even priests are human, so they can’t help but be happy when their work is over and they have a moment to rest.

widely-!

“Hey, wait a minute!”

“… … .”

That means I can’t welcome an uninvited guest I meet on my way home from work.

A short girl blocks my way.

He was Princess Canabi’s younger brother.

“Do you have anything to say to me, Your Highness?”

I couldn’t show that I was tired or that I didn’t like it, so I forced a smile and asked.

Even though she is still young, she is still a princess.

It is a being that cannot be treated carelessly.

“Shhh! People are listening! Don’t sneak out and get caught, so… Yeah! Just call me Janna Youngae.”

“… Yes. Janna Youngae.”

What good does it do to change names and titles?

If you don’t want people to find out you’re a member of the royal family, you should have changed the way you speak.

But he didn’t seem to realize it.

“Ahem, I called you because I have a few questions to ask.”

I’m not a girl, I hit the player before Janna Youngae could speak.

“I cannot disclose personal information of anyone other than the parties involved.”

“I’m your sister’s younger sister! My half-sister! It doesn’t make sense that I can’t hear it.”

Unfortunately, just a few days ago, Princess Canabi was threatened with assassination by someone of the same bloodline.

Besides, Princess Canabi said that she wished her younger brother did not know the details of her work.

As her attending physician, I could not refuse to grant her request.

“Isn’t this without your consent? He didn’t allow it because he knew this would happen.”

“Sister said no?”

Janna Youngae starts muttering with her lips sticking out in anger.

“Then tell me just this one thing. Is there a way to fix my sister?”

There is definitely a way to fix Princess Cannabi.

It’s just that the difficulty level has become too high because the timing for an easy solution has been missed.

I had no choice but to answer because I felt like I would burst into tears at any moment if I didn’t tell you this.

“There is.”

“!!”

“So, don’t worry too much and why don’t you just go back? He’s worried a lot about his younger brother.”

“Can my sister worry about me, but can’t I worry about my sister?”

“I’m sorry. I have nothing to say unless you give me permission.”

“I see, my sister doesn’t make just anyone her priest.”

Janna Youngae’s eyes sparkled intensely.

“I’ll get permission from my sister. Definitely. You can tell me then, right?”

“Yes, if permission is granted, there is no reason to hide it.”

It seems unlikely that Princess Canabi’s younger sister will leave easily.

‘But there’s no way Princess Canabi would teach you that.’

The solution was in the labyrinth, but there was no way I could tell the truth to my younger brother, who was at the perfect age for accidents.

What if I say something carelessly and something happens?

‘It’s going to be noisy in the hospital room for a while.’

A headache came over me, as if the princess’s headache had spread to me.

◎ ◎ ◎

Janna Youngae, who had declared war firmly and disappeared.

But surprisingly, Janna Youngae didn’t come to see me after that day.

If it was right in front of me, I would know what he was doing and prepare myself mentally, but since I couldn’t see him, I was overcome with anxiety.

And after a few days, Janna Youngae came to see me with a very frozen expression.

The moment I saw Janna Youngae’s face.

I had a feeling that the girl had heard everything.

“I heard it all.”

“Yes?”

“The reason why my sister is sick, and the solution.”

There’s no way Princess Canabi would have told you that.

I wondered where he heard it, but I figured finding out wouldn’t make any difference, so I just kept my mouth shut.

But Janna Youngae said something herself that wasn’t even asked.

“I went to the person who knew why my sister was sick and threatened them. Those fools who ran away in front of the monster that put a curse on my sister were really tight-lipped.”

Ah, now that I think about it, those people were there.

I already thought I was being targeted by Janna Youngae for running away when there was a monster right in front of me, but I didn’t know she would be so open about it.

I don’t know how I’m going to deal with the aftermath of saying all the things I shouldn’t have said.

The princess loved her younger brother very much, so she couldn’t just leave him alone since he gave her information that could cause an accident.

“You finally figured it out. I thought you’d come to me and ask me to tell you, but that’s unexpected.”

“I can tell at a glance that she would never disobey her sister’s words. Although I am not as good as my sister, I am also quite good at judging people.”

“Now that you know everything that was hidden, what are you going to do?”

“I fully understand why you didn’t tell me. But I won’t stay still. I’m going to do what you were worried about. But before that, I came here to hear from you. Is it true that the only way for you to get better is to go into the labyrinth and kill the monsters?”

I already know everything, so I thought it would be ridiculous to hide it, so I decided to be honest.

“As of now, yes.”

“Isn’t that because you’re incompetent?”

“That could be it.”

“How boringly obedient. I already know that you are the most capable priest in this temple!”

Did you even do a background check on me?

It seemed like he would be a bundle of trouble, and Princess Canabi’s worries were not unfounded.
