The Hero’s Brother Is Bound To Be Depressed - Chapter 247



248 – Phenomenon

After passing through a long hallway filled with all kinds of art pieces that gave a sense of the Perlkus family’s wealth, we finally arrived at the drawing room.

As I followed Lycan into the living room, I saw Raelan and Navier who had already been seated.

The butterfly that made eye contact with me gave a small smile with a happy expression. She greeted Navier by lightly raising her hand and sat down awkwardly in the chair her maid had pulled out for her.

As the bowl containing the drink and dessert was placed in front of me, Raelan, who was sitting at the head table, put down the teacup he was holding on the saucer and opened his mouth.

“It’s been a while.”

It is a cold voice with no trace of warmth.

Raelan opened his mouth with short words and it seemed that nothing had changed from before. The sharp eyes resembling a snake stalking its prey and the black suit with a design similar to a uniform had not even the slightest speck of dust on it. She seemed to have a cold and calculating personality.

“Yes, long time no see.”

At my greeting, Raelan just rolled his eyes and looked at me without moving a single word.

“Yes, I heard good news. “I heard that my brother has reached the realm of the transcendent.”

“yes.”

I replied helplessly and pulled my chin in slightly. I don’t know what Raelan is talking about.

Judging by the fact that he immediately brought up the story about Roel, he may have thought that it would be better to invest in Roel rather than me. Strictly speaking, a salesman is closer to an investor.

Since there are already many women around Roel, he may have made a cold calculation that adding one more woman to the Nabi wouldn’t make much of a difference.

However, Raelan said something completely different from what I expected.

“If you acquire all the intangibles of the main family, you will soon be able to follow in your brother’s footsteps.”

Seeing Raelan with a soft smile that didn’t suit me at all, I responded with a bewildered expression of gratitude and hurriedly lifted the cup of warm tea in front of me. Because I needed some time to think.

I never thought I would hear words of encouragement from Raelan. But it would be foolish to think that those words were based on faith or trust in me.

The title “Insanity Trickster” is not an illusion. If Eunice is a tactician who reads the situation, Raelan is the person who will burn it down just for fun.

I must think that I have similar value to Roel, or that I have another agenda.

As I took a sip of the heavily scented tea and put down the cup, Raelan, who had been watching me, spoke in a relaxed manner.

“You seem to be worried about whether my words have any other meaning.”

I was extremely embarrassed by the words that seemed to read my thoughts, but I shook my head with a bold smile and pretended like nothing had happened.

“no.”

“really? “Detecting lies is easy for me.”

Raelan’s voice rang quietly through the drawing room. If I answer no here too, Raelan will definitely take action to expose my lies. If it is obvious that you will break if you hold on, you have no choice but to bow your head.

I paused for a moment.

“No one has ever told me that… “I was wondering if there might be another meaning.”

When I came out in a low posture, Raelan smiled evilly.

“An attitude of suspicion is a good thing. “It is a good virtue to be wary of the poison contained in sweet words.”

Raelan raised the corners of his mouth and continued speaking.

“But what I just said didn’t mean anything; I meant it sincerely. “You, who are barely effective enough to destroy a suction stone with the intangibility of the Banga, are only natural to reach the realm of the transcendental if you acquire all the intangibility of the original family.”

bang-!

“Stop talking nonsense!”

As soon as Raelan finished speaking, Lycan slammed his fist on the table.

“Hi-!”

Navier let out a cute moan as if he was startled by the sudden loud sound. Thanks to this, I turned my head in the direction where the sound came from without realizing it.

Navier felt my gaze and pursed his lips and made a nonchalant expression, but he couldn’t hide the slightly reddening of his cheeks.

“What nonsense… “Do you not believe that your disciple will reach the realm of the transcendent?”

Lycan snorted at Raelan’s words full of laughter.

“I believe! “But I know that you didn’t say it for my student.”

The Lycan who said that turned his gaze towards me with a vicious expression and added.

“I thought you didn’t know that my intention was to make you greedy for the intangibles of the original family.”

Surely, after hearing Raelan’s words, I subconsciously thought that I wanted to obtain all the intangibles of the main family. Raelan planted the seed of greed in my subconscious with his sweet words. This was the poison contained in sweet words.

Raelan spoke slowly, resting his chin on his hand.

“… “Greed is the most important fuel for growth.”

Raelan gave me a wry smile. His eyes looked as if he disagreed with what he said.

“stop.”

The lycan wriggled its muscles and gathered magical power. Her maid, who was waiting behind her, couldn’t help but let out a faint moan due to the pressure that seemed to be pressing down on everyone in her parlor.

“If you cheat on my disciple, I will not come to your family again from now on.”

Raelan said with a snake-like smile, as if he had decided to take a step back in response to Lycan’s firm voice.

“It’s a joke. “Let’s not get too serious after seeing each other for so long.”

“Your pranks always end badly, so I’m just being cautious.”

Raelan kept his eyes fixed on me and answered sarcastically without even looking at the Lycan.

“That’s because the other person thought the prank was over. “It’s a punishment for reducing my interest.”

Lycan sighed. As the conversation ended, there was silence in the living room for a moment. Navier gave me a wink as if asking me to do something.

What am I doing here? It was an absurd request, but we agreed that something had to be done before we were suffocated in silence.

“… “How about we talk about the rest while we eat?”

No one responded to my suggestion. I should just stay still.

In the end, he ate as I suggested. The problem was that it was an extension of the awkward and uncomfortable position.

“What should I do if he suddenly asks me to eat there? “The atmosphere has gotten worse!”

I sighed as Navier grumbled while sitting on the end of the bed.

“Then shouldn’t you have stepped forward instead of putting it off to me?”

“Oh, that’s hard for me too. “Because my father and uncle don’t get along.”

The thought of asking someone else to do the hard work for you rose up in my throat, but I just swallowed it. I don’t necessarily want to continue a meaningless conversation.

“… But the room is a bit noisy.”

I said that for no reason, but if I stopped looking at it with a grumpy gaze, I couldn’t help but evaluate it as a much better decorated room than mine.

Navier’s room was full of all kinds of things to see. Heart-shaped letters were swimming leisurely like fish on the ceiling, and flowers were drawn on the cream-colored wallpaper, moving naturally as if swaying in the wind. I also noticed the clean glass window without any stains and the golden handle that had been polished to a shiny shine.

A refreshing scent from a diffuser, a light pink bed floating in the air, connected to the ceiling, large enough for a few people to lie down, a humidifier turned on underneath, and even pink smoke flowing out softly. It felt like a princess room from a fantasy.

As I was slowly looking around, I noticed an unpleasant picture of male students in school uniform smiling with their arms crossed next to a small desk, so I asked without thinking.

“What is this?”

As if he was having a seizure, Navier jumped up on the bed, ran over to me, and covered my eyes with his hands.

“Why are you spying on my room?”

Stealing… I can’t say that I don’t have such dark hobbies, but this was unfair.

“… “Didn’t you drag me into the room to take a look?”

When the uncomfortable meal finally ended and I was about to go back to the guest room, the person who grabbed my arm and forced me back to his room had nothing to say.

The hand that was covering my eyes forced my head to look somewhere else. I guess he doesn’t want to show it. It’s similar to the reaction of an otaku who sees an anime poster.

The hands that were covering his eyes went down weakly, and Navier mumbled an excuse.

“Um, that’s just a freebie since I bought the book. Stop looking now!”

Well, it seems like I’ve already seen it all… I shrugged my shoulders. Navier pouted her lips and mumbled something, then she raised her tone and asked with anticipation in her voice as if it had suddenly occurred to her.

“Tomorrow we will learn the intangibles of the original family… So, are we going on a date in two days?”

“uh? Uh… yes.”

I was embarrassed and turned my head without realizing it. I had completely forgotten what Navier wanted: a mysterious and adventurous dating course that would reveal the secrets of her past.

He could make the excuse that he was busy with Kane’s work and obtaining the Spear of Shadow, but it was obvious that Navier would be disappointed. She didn’t want to disappoint Navier, who was always helpful and considerate.

Somehow, while I was quickly moving my head, something at the corner of my eye suddenly caught my eye. It was a red string slightly sticking out from under the pillow.

I unconsciously reached out and pulled the string, and the book that was under my pillow came out. I think it wasn’t just a string, but a book’s hook.

“Your friend’s man was a beast… ?”

It was the title of a book decorated in red velvet. The moment I opened the book and was about to turn the pages, Navier screamed from behind her.

“aaahhh-!!!”

“What, what… !”

I lost my balance due to the impact I felt on my back and fell straight onto the bed. She appears to be a delicate girl-like Navier, but in reality she is a third-ranked member of the combat division. This means that she is not an ordinary woman. This was the reason why I had no choice but to be pushed away by her surprise body slam with her weight on it.

Without any time to panic at the sudden attack, Navier climbed on top of my body with my face buried in the bed.

“Go, stay still!”

“Well, what are you doing…” .”

I felt Navier’s soft buttocks on my waist. When I tried to raise her body in panic without realizing it, her Navier must have lost her balance and was completely pressed against her body, so I felt something touching her wing bones.

When I was as if frozen, Navier finally took the book out of my hands and broke away from my body.

“Then why are you trying to steal other people’s things without permission?”

Navier, who had been fuming, saw me lying motionless on the bed, and after a while, he asked in a worried voice.

“It’s okay, it’s okay… ? “You’re not hurt anywhere, are you?”

As I said that, I turned my head towards Navier, who was poking my shoulder with the tip of his finger.

“just… “You can just stay like this for a moment.”

“Are you hurt? Should I call my uncle?”

I urgently raised my hand towards Navier.

“No, no. “It really just takes a moment.”

I’m not hurt. A body that weak would not be able to withstand Lycan’s training.

only… For men, this is just a completely natural physiological phenomenon.
