A Genius Gamer, Reincarnated in a Heroic Family Episode 70

Harmonious family meal (6)

‘Well, what is it? Are you saying that the Heavenly Sword was really a sword technique?’

Kyle was kicked in the solar plexus by Harang and pinned against the wall, but now the fear of the fact that something was wrong was greater than the pain.

Not surprisingly, when I looked around, the brothers’ expressions were not very good either.

“… … “You stupid bastard.”

Not all immediate third-generation blood relatives gathered here. This is because brothers who were on external missions or working outside did not come.

Aside from the two, there were six other brothers gathered here, and all of them were older than Kyle.

Those are them.

Not Harang.

He was shooting a look of disdain towards himself.

‘What on earth is Heavenly Sword?!’

For Kyle, it was understandably unfair.

Duke Kal-El had been officially active on the battlefield for more than 20 years, and the sword technique called ‘Heavenly Sword’ was developed after that, so there were very few people even within the palace who knew about it.

In fact, isn’t Duke Kal-El more famous as the ‘Sword of Destruction’ than as the ‘Sword of Heaven’?

It was only after working as a Foldon Knight for several years and delving into the details of his family and Duke Kal-El that he was able to learn about the existence of the Heavenly Sword.

In other words, Kyle, whose career as a Foldon Knight was almost similar to that of Harang, had almost no way of knowing about the Heavenly Sword.

Harang knew this and deliberately set a trap.

‘That said, I didn’t know it would be that easy to catch.’

To be honest, he wasn’t that angry, but Harang deliberately kept his eyes calm and grabbed the knife that was on the table and threw it away.

Boom!

“… … !!”

The knife stuck right next to Kyle’s neck, which was pinned against the wall.

“Pick that up. “I couldn’t bring a sword, so I’ll have to use a knife.”

“Now, wait! Wow. But for now, calm down!”

“No, harang!”

Even Arihil, who was worse off, stepped forward and captured Harang.

“What are you going to do when grandpa comes? “If you stab yourself in the sacred grand hall, you will be severely scolded!”

“Kyle, you apologize. “This is your fault.”

As her second granddaughter, Eriol, who is one year older than Arihil, appeared, Kyle’s expression became more and more grim.

It’s unfair that he got beaten up again by that arrogant little brother who is five years younger than him, but he even apologized!

“hurry!”

Eriol even snorted and urged Kyle on. It was natural for her.

The only way for Kyle to survive from this point on is to apologize to Harang before his grandfather comes!

“Put aside your foolish pride and listen to me! “I’m trying to save you, so hurry!”

“Si, I don’t like it! What are you meddling with? “I have to change that arrogant brother’s habits!”

However, Kyle was also quite stubborn, so how could he apologize for being insulted again while his pride was completely dented after losing to Harang in a duel the previous time?

“Fuha, this is ridiculous… … .”

“… … “It’s pathetic.”

Naridel and Garaen, who were watching the scene, shook their heads in bewilderment, and Eriol, frustrated, tried to force Kyle to apologize by slapping him on the cheek.

“The restaurant is noisy.”

Thump… !!

It was as if a huge wave had occurred, and the actions of all blood relatives present stopped.

‘This, this…’ … .’

Harang couldn’t turn his head even though he was sweating coldly. It was as if her entire body was bound by something, and she was not allowed to make even the slightest movement.

“Tell me, Naridel. “You are the eldest in this room.”

She said as she knelt before Duke Kal-El.

“Kyle insulted Harang, and Harang became enraged by it and became violent first.”

Although it could be said to be a biased explanation, it was natural for Naridel to take the side of Kyle, who was born in the same boat.

Even though he is an ugly little brother, he is better than the adopted kid who came in.

‘what!’

Arihil, who was listening, was excited, but she was not given the right to speak.

“Kyle. “Is this story true?”

“Yes, yep! grandfather! That guy hit me first. I’m the older brother and I have no idea… … “Inhale!”

“done.”

Kyle was forced to keep his mouth shut before he could even finish his sentence.

Soon, Duke Kal-El’s eyes turned to Harang. He asked with a very slightly angry expression.

“My youngest grandchild. “No matter how much your brother insulted you, did you really have to strike him with his hands when all the brothers were gathered together for a meal?”

Only then did Arihil realize Harang’s intention and his eyes sparkled.

‘I see! I deliberately intended to ignore my grandfather’s Heavenly Sword and then hit him to make it self-defense!’

She realized this fact belatedly and looked at Garaen.

‘to.’

He looked like he knew it already. So did others. He seemed to have a pounding headache, as if he was anticipating what would happen next.

‘… … Am I the only one who didn’t expect this? ‘Am I really that stupid?’

Arihil looked at Harang with tears in his eyes. Now it was Kyle’s turn to reveal to her grandfather what he had done.

Now go, youngest! Arihil shouts that in his mind.

“… … sorry.”

‘what?’

Harang lowered his head with a somewhat downcast expression.

‘Now, wait a minute. If you do that, it will seem like you really did something wrong!’

Arihil wasn’t the only one who was embarrassed, as Garaen also slightly shook his shoulders, and the other brothers did the same.

“What did I do wrong?”

“No matter how much he was weaker than me, he still assaulted my brother… … .”

At that point, Kyle gritted his teeth with a very angry expression, but no one paid him any attention.

“As the youngest, I ruined the heavenly meal where my brothers, sisters, and grandfather were having a meal together, and I disturbed the sacred grand hall… … .”

Duke Kal-El’s eyebrows twitched slightly. Harang’s answer was clearly not the result he had expected.

“Yes, my youngest grandchild. It’s okay now that you know that your actions were wrong. but… … “As far as I know, he is not a child who acts without thinking, but what happened today is very disappointing.”

“sorry. I can tolerate being ignored as much as I want… … “I couldn’t get over my brother’s denial that I had been taught by my grandfather.”

“… … “Please explain calmly.”

Harang glanced at Kyle.

“I know. The fact that each of the brothers learned arcane swordsmanship from their brother or father. Brother Kyle bragged about it to me and laughed at me, saying I didn’t learn anything, but that’s not true.”

Duke Kal-El, who was behind his back, began to wiggle his fingers. Chief Butler Taran Aradella, who came in after Duke Kal-el, almost burst into laughter when he figured out Harang’s intentions.

“I didn’t learn anything! “Four years ago, I learned the ‘Heavenly Sword’ from my grandfather!”

“… … .”

Harang’s statement.

It was like stabbing Duke Kal-El in the chest.

The Heavenly Sword was taught only to give him a taste of it, and as Kyle said, it was true that no teachings were given to him at all.

There were many reasons.

At a young age in my teens, I thought it would be more efficient to practice basic sword skills at least once rather than learning strange grasping techniques such as arcane sword skills.

There was also a part of him that was concerned that if he paid too much attention to Harang, the council of elders would keep him in check.

There were many other excuses, such as lack of time.

There was only one thing that mattered.

‘… … My youngest grandchild is now in his mid-teens, and no matter how mature he may appear, he is still a child.’

It was Duke Kal-el who first reached out to Harang as a family member, either through adoption or adoption, as he had lost his parents at a young age and lived alone.

Harang wanted to somehow find a connection with him, and that was the ‘Heavenly Sword’ that Kal-El had briefly shown him.

While everyone else was learning arcane swordsmanship and other things in the arms of their families, Harang did not complain once and lived with only the Heavenly Sword that his grandfather had briefly shown him four years ago in his heart.

Harang probably wanted to learn arcane swordsmanship like the other brothers, but he persevered and endured it!

But today, we gathered together for a family meal for the first time in a while, and how could I not be angry when Kyle ignored the Heavenly Sword?

Duke Kal-El decided that this was why Harang died after stabbing Kyle.

‘Huh, really. ‘You were thinking wrong.’

Kal-el thought that this situation was all planned by Harang and judged him to be a very clever child.

Just before he came in, he intentionally made Kyle make a comment to ignore the Sword of Heaven and then used violence to damage Kyle’s image and claim that he was acting in self-defense… … Such a ruse.

This was something everyone, not just Kal-El, expected.

‘It wasn’t like that.’

Harang didn’t cleverly calculate this situation, he was just really angry and resentful at being denied the Heavenly Sword he learned from his grandfather… … Called.

Duke Kal-el thought so, but in fact, it was Harang’s intention, who had a much older mental age than his age.

“Your youngest grandchild is poking your chest.”

Unbelievably, even Caladern’s chief butler and chancellor, Taran Kal Aradella, who had not expected a 14-year-old child to use such a trick, was fooled.

“… … Now that’s done, you go away.”

“I will prepare the tea first.”

Taran smiled and stepped back, as if he was in a really good mood for the first time in a while.

‘Whoa.’

Kal-El almost sighed involuntarily, feeling a little sorry for not having taught his youngest grandchild anything.

Until then, Duke Kal-El had not noticed.

I’ve never felt so uncomfortable because I couldn’t teach my child.

“My youngest grandchild. No matter how bitter you are or how angry you feel, using violence at a family meal that I personally prepared is unforgivable. As punishment for this, I will punish you with a ‘gladiator’s bloody fight.’ Is there anything else you can say?”

“… … !!”

The blood relatives’ eyes widened at Kal-El’s punishment.

This punishment, modeled after the myth that in the past, one of Caladern’s great men was trapped in the gladiator’s colosseum and fought against 100 monster lions and overcame them, is a punishment given when a blood relative of at least 6 stars commits a mistake, and is still only 4 stars. It was too much punishment for Harang!

“yes. “If, as punishment, I can atone for my sin of disrupting a sacred family meal, I will gladly accept it.”

Even if they begged, it wasn’t enough, and the blood relatives were left speechless as they saw Harang willingly accepting the punishment.

“Okay, everyone please take a seat.”

The blood relatives had no choice but to sit down and say nothing as they saw Kal-El talking and nodding his head casually.

After drinking tea and waiting for a while, a sumptuous dish that Harang could not normally imagine was served.

Soup made with boiled clams and shrimp, sandwiches eaten with bread and bacon torn flat, sausages eaten with garlic sauce, and lamb eaten with plenty of spices such as herbs and peppers.

‘The diet is very international.’

Is it because Caladun has active cultural exchange, or is it because most nobles of this era eat this type of food?

The dish was so good that even Harang, who doesn’t like the strong smell of spices, could enjoy it.

While eating, Duke Kal-El listened to the older brothers in order about what happened and what experiences they had during this mission.

The brothers went on a variety of missions, and Harang was a little intrigued when he heard that Naridel, in particular, had gone to a remote area whose name he had never heard of, got involved with a different race, and came back after suffering.

She said, ‘I had a hard time because of the magic of a different race,’ and I became curious about what that magic was.

When it was Kyle’s turn, he had a hard time exaggerating his insignificant C-rank mission, but no one gave him a single compliment.

Everyone here had a record of solving not only C rank but also B rank within Kyle’s age range.

As Kyle’s story was put to rest, saying, “I heard it well,” he became sullen, but there was nothing he could do. In reality, it wasn’t such a big mission… … .

Although Arihil’s mission was short, he met a Guardian contractor and heard that he had suffered a serious injury to his abdomen.

Arihil was elated, saying that even though she was wounded in the battle, she won in the end, but Duke Kal-El asked her to be careful.

“Just because you’re a Guardian contractor doesn’t mean you can have exceptionally strong power. However, it’s the same as holding a weapon in each hand.”

“Hmm, isn’t dual swordsmanship not very efficient?”

“It would be like that with dual swords. But what about a sword and shield?”

“Ugh, that’s tricky to deal with.”

“okay. “That’s what a contractor is.”

“Umm… … .”

“The contractor you met this time was weaker than you, but if he is a contractor with the same skills as you, it will be difficult to deal with, so be careful.”

“I’ll be careful.”

Arihil nodded, took out an item wrapped in wrapping paper from his arms, and handed it to him.

“What was that?”

“This is the loot I got from dealing with the contractor.”

“You can keep the loot.”

You can have it. If I were to interpret what it meant, it meant ‘explain why you bother reporting to me.’

“that is… … “It seems like an unusual item, so I would like to report this to my grandfather separately later.”

“Well, if you are, that must be a major problem. i get it.”

When Duke Kal-El received the loot box and handed it back, a knight appeared from the darkness, took it, and quietly disappeared.

“Next, my youngest grandchild.”

“Yes, grandfather.”

When Harang’s turn finally came, the blood relatives fell silent. What has that adopted youngest child, who always causes a storm, done again this time?

“Before listening to your story, I guess I have to tell you about this loot.”

“… … .”

Perhaps he wanted to talk about the magic book. Harang was satisfied with the fact that it was delivered to the higher-ups fairly quickly. If possible, I wanted to talk to Duke Kal-El in person when I met him.

“So, do you know what value the items you brought have?”

“I have some guesses.”

“ha ha ha!”

Duke Kal-El immediately burst into laughter. She didn’t understand why Harang was reacting like that, so she opened her eyes with a puzzled expression.

“There are many things that even our bright youngest grandchild cannot predict. Even though it passed through your hands.”

“I don’t understand, Grandpa.”

“I heard from your clerk. “A councilor may come to see the value of the magic book, so be prepared.”

Harang had guessed it. He realized that the value of a wizard might be greater than he expected.

‘As expected, you were right.’

However, your shoulders should not be raised to this level. Now was the time to step back a little humbly.

“… … “Were they items that were not worth that much?”

“No, you’re wrong!”

Duke Kal-el must have been in a really good mood, so he took a gulp from the barrel that was standing right next to him instead of the wine that had been poured in advance.

Coo! Then, he puts down the finished liquor on the table and says with a grin.

“They say the magic books you captured are historical symbols that could turn the academy upside down.”

However, would Duke Kal-El of the world be that happy?

At the same time, Kal-El smiled brightly as he said that wizards from the Magic Association, the Giant Magic Tower, and the Five Great Magicians were arriving at the embassy one after another.

Yes.

It was very enjoyable for Duke Kal-El to see the old men of the magic master family, who could be said to be rivals of the sword master family, come and bow their heads in person!

“Youngest grandchild, there is one thing they desperately want to know more than the magic book. Do you know what that is?”

“yes. “I think I understand.”

There was no way Harang didn’t know.

‘Where on earth did these magic books that were lost a long time ago come from?’

Everyone was curious.
