I Became the Younger Brother of the Female Protagonist in the Novel - Chapter 145



-Now that the 2nd and 6th apostles are away and the religious leader has passed away. The Church has entered an unprecedented dark age. We intend to appoint you to the position of Fifth Apostle to fill the vacancy.

“The Fifth Apostle… … is it?”

-With your father’s death, all the apostles have risen in rank one step at a time. Kravey has now become the second apostle.

It was an uncomfortable fact in many ways, but I hid my expression as much as possible.

Because now I can’t claim to be the second apostle.

-however… … Does Lady Sophia know about the church?

“no. The head of the household said not to inform.”

-Right. You may have already been informed, but let me say it again. The Speyone family is yours to manage. I have put a word in the collaborators of the empire, and the imperial family will soon approve it. And leave the Ardennes family to Lady Sophia. Isn’t there a good treasurer in Ardennes?

Certainly, with Albert’s ability, he would assist Sophia well. Rather, it will produce better results than me.

‘And I’m the Speyone family… … .’

From Austin’s report, I was able to roughly estimate the size of the Spey One Company.

Dozens of amounts investigated… … No, hundreds of times the profit. Even the net profit recorded an astronomical amount.

‘The Ardennes Corporation… … It should be seen as a hole-in-the-wall shop.’

Grans might have looked at Arden’s growth with cuteness.

And, belatedly, I was convinced. It is impossible for Arden Corporation to surpass Spey One Corporation.

If there is a possibility, all the money earned at the auction house is invested as the capital of the company.

Then maybe in 20-30 years we’ll catch up.

There was a huge gap between the two sides.

“The matter is… … Let’s have a talk with your sister.”

-Hmm… … Certainly, Lady Sophia might be coveted for the title of head of Spey One. If she gets in the way, let me know anytime. I’ll disguise it as an accident from this side and get rid of it.

My poker face collapsed at Britten’s remark. I furrowed my brow slightly and replied in a cold voice.

“There is no need for that.”

-… … As I heard, you seem to have a pretty close relationship with Lady Sophia. No, is it natural for siblings?

Britten smiled and shook his head several times.

-Don’t worry too much. If you don’t want it, I have no intention of doing anything to Lady Sophia here. You who have risen to the priesthood will be treated equally with us.

Now that Granth has been defeated by Darkness, their suspicions may have subsided a little.

Then it wouldn’t be best for them to have an adversarial relationship with me. The wealth of Spay One and the power of Grans would never be taken lightly.

-but… … I’m really curious.

“What do you mean?”

-In accordance with the order of the headmaster that was given the other day… … What choice would you have made?

orders given earlier.

Was it the order to kill my sister?

I remained silent at Britten’s non-provocation. It’s a story that doesn’t even deserve an answer.

Then Britton grinned and put on the pods with both hands.

-Hiding your emotions is better than Ellen. No, since he has both a quick-thinking brain and a talent for magic, Eren must have felt a sense of crisis in many ways.

If you were Brit, you would already know. It means that Eren is the one who caused the Rose family incident.

His meaningful smile and cold eyes made me flinch several times in my heart.

That gaze as if even the thoughts in my head were on the palm of my hand.

‘It’s really unpleasant.’

Indeed, it will soon be revealed who is in whose palm.

-And I have to deliver the Church’s top secret information to you, the 5th Apostle.

“… … Top secret?”

Britten brought up the story as if she were telling a vital secret.

I put on a look of amazement. While laughing inwardly.

The story he brought up was about the demon realm.

-… … So, I decided to seek cooperation from the demons.

“Well, something like that… … .”

Britten smiled at my surprised look.

-and… … Fortunately, I was able to contact the Demon Duke.

“… … yes?”

This time, I couldn’t help but be genuinely surprised.

Have you been in contact with the Demon Duke? How the hell?!

-Hmm, it looks like you’re also surprised. Well, it was embarrassing on this side too. No way, I never thought that the other side would cross the gate first.

“That, so where is he… … .”

– After the negotiations, I went back to the demon realm.

“Would it be all right if I asked you a question about the negotiations?”

-of course. Now you are also an apostle of the church.

Britten nodded happily.

-The Pandemonium cooperated with the conquest of the continent, but requested half of the control over the continent.

Literally, it means handing over half of the continent to the demons.

From noble mtl dot com

– As you may have already heard, there are monsters in Darkness that are enough to defeat the headmaster. Besides, in the current church, it is difficult to achieve each individual’s longing.

“… … Yes, as the First Apostle said.”

– Thank you for your understanding. Of course, the pact with the demon duke is only possible if the demon king approves it, so take care of your mind while managing the Spey One family for a while.

I was about to lower my head, but I hesitated for a moment.

“just now… … What did you say?”

– Hmm?

“Surely, Lucifer, the Great Demon King… … .”

He smiled benevolently at my embarrassed voice.

-Yes, Lucifer is already dead.

“then… … .”

-It is said that Lucifer’s younger brother, Ruspel, who was the only grand duke of the Demon Realm, inherited the throne of the Demon King.

“grandee? No, it’s Ruspel… … .”

I was confused for a while at the name I had never heard of.

Did the Demon King have a younger brother? Rather than that, after defeating the cult leader, now the demon king appears? Wasn’t the cult leader a black man!? How the hell are things going!

“… … Can the gate still be maintained?”

-If only mana is supplied, it is possible to maintain it permanently. And since the Pandemonium researchers have confirmed the coordinates of Middle Earth, hundreds of gates will open on this continent within the next three years.

These crazy kids… … ! What the hell have you done!? You say that kind of X sound with confidence right now?!

I look at the talking Britten and pout! I clenched my fists tightly.

‘If only I had destroyed the gate earlier… … !’

But that thought was pointless.

The time of contact with the Demon Duke was the day I attacked Base 44, just a few days before the attack on the Spey One family.

-Details will be delivered later.

“All right.”

I kept my poker face until the end.

And the moment communication was cut off, he dropped his head to the floor.

“… … devildom? Devil? Oops, f*cking feet! You knocked down the guru! But why are there even such strange people appearing!?”

I jumped up while tearing my hair out. Then he lay down on the bed and burst out laughing like a madman.

10 minutes passed like that.

Looking at the hands of the clock, I turned over and closed my eyes.

“Shall we just cooperate with the Death Parade and rule the continent?”

At the same time as I murmured, Endairon approached my bedside.

– I hope you’re not sincere.

“… … Yeah, not really. but… … Why did this happen? The dream of marrying a pretty and kind woman, giving birth to a child like a rabbit, and living in the right order… … Why is it so difficult?”

– Didn’t you say that you were a fox like a child last time?

“… … did you? No, it doesn’t matter what it is!”

Endairon smiled and nodded.

-It would be better to destroy the gate first. Even if you confirmed the coordinates of Middle Earth, it would take that much time to create a new gate. And it would be better to cut off contact between the demon realm and the church as soon as possible.

I nodded my head at Endairon’s opinion.

“Okay, now the gate first… … .”

Soon after, I got off the bed and went straight to Sofia’s bedroom.

* * *

After taking a shower, Sophia changed into pajamas. So well prepared.

at that time.

smart smart

“Sister, it’s me.”

She smiled a little at her brother’s voice.

“Did you want to sleep with your sister again today?”

rattle-

As expected, Kayneth was standing in front of the door.

But his expression was not good. Are you desperate for something? it looked like that

“… … Can I come in?”

“of course.”

Sophia tilted her head at Keynes’ voice, which had lost her energy.

Did you sense something not good? Sophia reached for the chair.

“Can you sit down for a minute?”

“… … okay.”

The moment Kayneth sat down in her chair, Sofia began preparing the teacups.

Soon, while boiling tea, she puts refreshments on a tray. Such warm black tea and refreshments were brought to the table.

“So, what happened?”

Kayneth took a sip of the tea and calmed herself slightly.

“A little while ago, I communicated with the First Apostle, a man named Britain T Arfail.”

“Britten T Arfail… … ?”

“I am the chancellor of the Arkad Kingdom. They say he is the first apostle.”

Sophia was startled.

Could it be that the country’s prime minister was a black magician?!

But as if it was still too early to be surprised, Keynes let out a small laugh. And he started talking about the demon world.

Not only Sophia, but even Elim, who showed up, stiffened her face.

It was just yesterday that I was relieved for a moment by the death of the leader. But a new Demon King!? Even the actions of the church to sign an agreement with them were astonishing.

“I intend to destroy the gate in a hurry. Researchers have confirmed the coordinates of Middle Earth, but the pact between the Church and the Pandemonium has yet to be formally concluded. It was only that the demon duke accepted it positively. The decision will be made by the demon king. then… … I think it’s better to destroy the gate before the pact is signed.”

“… … .”

“And since the gate isn’t built that easily either, if you hurry up and destroy the gate, you’ll be able to buy some time.”

“hahahaha, what the hell is this… … .”

Sophia let out a long sigh, and Kayneth let out a small laugh.

“I know.”

The cult will shake the continent from the inside, and the Demon World will force an attack from the outside. Then all nations will not be able to stand it even for a moment, and will fall to their knees.

“And about the family… … .”

“Okay, I’ll hand over the headship to you. Because in the current situation, there is nothing you can do. Even if you use the gold shop… … .”

“It’s a gold shop. If I rob the underground safe, I’m sure I can reach the 9th circle, but… … When do you fill up that amount of mana?”

Kayneth let out a sigh and shrugged his shoulders.

Sophia laughed bitterly.

Chapter 141

141. Gate (3)

“My sister is trying to drink every day, but her stomach is so disgusting… … . Rather, how much do you need to drink to reach the ninth circle?”

“Hmm, is it possible to drink 10L every day for a year? More than that, the 8th Circle Advanced Course and Master Course are still… … .”

10L a day was 1,000,000 GP in gold points. 10,000 gold coins. If you continue to drink it for 365 days, 365,000,000 GP will be consumed.

In fact, you probably won’t need such an enormous amount.

but… … .

“I have to drink at least 2~3L every day. Oh, by the way, you need 500 million GP to learn the 9th circle basic course. Five million in gold? In addition, if you want to learn the advanced course and the master course… … It costs an additional 2.3 billion GP.”

“A total of 2.8 billion GP, in terms of gold… … 28 million coins?!”

Sophia shook her head with a disgusted expression.

Still, if you rob the underground safe of the Spey One family… … .

‘That amount will come out.’

The two looked at each other and thought.

but… … .

“Including the funds to meet the amount of mana… … It’s really horrible.”

“First, think about mastering the 8th circle.”

“… … it should be And to buy a race conversion potion.”

Currently, growth is blocked due to the amount of mana. Keynes was determined to gain new powers.

“Racial transformation… … . What race do you want to be?”

To Sophia’s question, Kayneth answered without hesitation.
