The Hero’s Brother Is Bound To Be Depressed - Chapter 251



252 – Spider web

After the date, we took a carriage and returned to Perkus Mansion. Perhaps thanks to a satisfactory date, it was Navier who was in charge of talking while leaving.

Thanks to nodding and expressing my thoughts with “Oh,” I was able to arrive at the mansion comfortably.

As soon as I got off the carriage and entered the mansion, I ran into Raelan, who was preparing to go out.

“You came back quickly. “Did you come to ask for permission to stay out overnight?”

When Raelan spoke teasingly, Navier reacted violently, waving his arms.

“W-what are you talking about!”

“Hoo, have you already gotten the ring? “You are a proud daughter.”

Raelan, who must have been sharp-eyed, noticed that there was a ring on Navier’s finger and raised his eyebrows at me. She answered quickly, fearing that there would be some strange misunderstanding.

“I didn’t buy it, but Navier picked it up from the ground.”

I thought it was a good explanation, but for some reason Navier turned his head, glared at me, and stomped up the stairs, as if putting his weight on each step, and went to his room.

“I guess Navier doesn’t think so. It’s okay, because most people who are shy express their feelings in that way.”

I sighed and scratched my head as Raelan looked at my reaction with amusement. Realizing that I would be at a disadvantage the longer I continued the conversation, I eventually decided to remain silent.

As if he expected me to keep quiet, Raelan, with a faint smile, glided towards me.

“Lykan got an urgent call from the academy, so he went up first. “You can stay in this mansion as long as you want.”

I had no choice but to quickly give up on silence when I saw Raelan smiling with the corners of his mouth stretched out as if he was telling me to continue if I could remain silent.

“… “Thank you, but I will also follow Master to the capital tomorrow.”

“I guess Navier will be bored if he’s left alone.”

“Well, you won’t be bored this vacation.”

The lake fairy’s protection does not just create water columns. If he can control the powers sleeping within his protection, Nabier will be able to grow several times larger than he is now.

If I train hard during the remaining vacation, I will be able to aim for a position as deputy head of Lakar’s combat department in my second year. Of course, the senior position is mine.

“Hmm, your eyes are full of confidence. “It looks like it’s not an ordinary ring.”

Raelan twisted one corner of his mouth, looked at my face, and then added in a low voice.

“If you tell the butler in advance, he will reserve the portal station. “If you want to see Navier, you can always come back.”

Raelan patted my shoulder with his gloved hand as he said that and walked past me and went out of the mansion.

While rubbing my forehead, I asked the butler who happened to be passing by in the hallway to make a reservation for the portal station.

I was about to go back to my room, but I got distracted and turned around and headed towards Navier’s room.

dripping-

I knocked, but there was no response. As he turned to go back to his room, the door opened behind him.

“… “Come in.”

I turned again, opened the slightly opened door, and entered Navier’s room. Navier was lying on the bed in comfortable clothes, as if he had changed his clothes while talking to Raelan.

Navier looked at me standing blankly in the middle of the room, just moving his head, and asked in a brusque voice.

“… why?”

“To let you know that I will be returning to the capital tomorrow. “I thought I’d at least say hello in advance, just in case.”

“… .”

Somehow there is no answer. As I was staring at her, Navier raised her body. I could feel her brown eyes looking at me holding a strange emotion.

“… “Winter vacation is long.”

Navier’s voice, which broke the silence, was somehow lower than usual, but better to hear. Navier continued her persuasion, leaning her upper body towards me.

“There are many good places in the north like Lake Xyrene. There are many things that can only be eaten in the northern part of the country during winter. Why not stay a little longer with the idea of ​​getting some rest… ?”

I am not an idiot. Although he may be very foolish in some areas. She is not a person who is insensitive to other people’s feelings, to the extent that she does not know why Navier is saying this.

Nabier wants to be with me. Although your feelings for your friend are strong now, those feelings will become deeper and take on a different color as you spend more time together.

I already made Navier cry with a joke that crossed the line. I also learned the lesson that playing with people’s hearts is not okay. Then the choice I will make is no different.

“I have a lot of things planned during vacation. “She has to go back to the academy and write a reply to Luna’s letter.”

Navier’s shoulders trembled at those words. Her brown eyes filled with sorrow look at me. She didn’t avoid those eyes, she looked straight at them.

Eyes become tangled in the air. After a while, Navier tucks his hair behind his ear and smiles bitterly.

“… That’s right. Luna will be waiting anxiously for her.”

After saying that, Navier looked at the ring on his finger and asked in a passing voice.

“The date you had with me… Have you ever been bothered?”

I burst out laughing at the ridiculous question.

“That can’t be possible.”

At my immediate response, Navie leaned his chin on his knees that were brought in front of his chest with a satisfied expression.

“Then next date… “Can I look forward to it?”

It is a word that contains a slight warmth. I smiled bitterly at Navier, who was looking at me blankly.

“… No, you will be disappointed.”

There was a very vague emotion passing through Navier’s eyes. She shook her head once, as if trying to shake off the feeling, and Navier pouted her lips in a mischievous expression.

“Don’t be too cocky when you say you had the perfect date today!”

After saying that, Navier lifted the blanket and tucked himself inside. Navier said, closing her eyes with only her face sticking out.

“I’m tired. I’m going to sleep now. “I don’t have to see you off tomorrow, right?”

I turned to Navier’s question. He said as he opened the door and went out.

“Sleep well.”

There was no answer until I left the room and closed the door.

After breakfast, we went straight to the carriage and headed to the portal station. Thanks to the reservation he made yesterday, he will be able to catch a direct portal to the capital.

After getting off the carriage and saying hello to the driver, I arrived at the portal station and walked towards the portal heading to the capital.

Perhaps because it was a direct route, the line was considerably longer than at other portals. There are almost 30 people in line in front of me, so there must be many people already in the magic circle inside.

I saw a station employee checking my ticket and took out the portal ticket from my pocket. As the station attendant who checked my ticket passed me, someone called my name from afar.

“Loss…!”

When I heard Navier’s voice coming from somewhere, I turned my head and looked around, and saw Navier panting as if he had run. Could it be that she followed the carriage?

Navier spotted me and approached me. She had no choice but to get out of the line she was standing in.

“what’s the matter?”

I didn’t expect him to come all the way here, so I was embarrassed and asked that question, and Nabier held out to me what he was holding with a puzzled expression on his face.

“Did you really think I was the type of person who wouldn’t even see my friend off?”

Navier sighed as he silently scratched his cheek in response to that question.

“I can’t let my friend who came all the way to the North go home empty-handed. As I said yesterday, there are many things you can only eat in the north. “I prepared it as a gift so you won’t regret it later.”

I accepted the box Navier held out. He had even packaged it separately, so it was a box wrapped in pretty wrapping paper.

“… “Don’t expect too much.”

I chuckled at Navier, who was complaining for no reason.

“thanks. “I will eat well.”

“Okay, next time… “I’ll see you at the academy, right?”

Seeing Navier’s expression of disappointment, I answered in a voice that it was no big deal.

“If you train hard, you will see it soon.”

At my words, Navier shook his head slightly with a playful expression.

“Then I will be the head of the second-year combat club. “You can never give in.”

“… “I can’t compromise on that either.”

Navie burst into laughter at my answer.

“Then next time we meet, we’ll be enemies!”

I couldn’t help but notice Navier’s desire to send me off in a good mood, so I nodded with a bright smile.

“Okay, let’s see who will be the chief.”

As soon as he finished speaking, I waved my hand at the wizard’s urging for the portal user to enter quickly.

“See you later then.”

“… huh!”

Seeing Navier, who seemed to have no intention of leaving, perhaps intending to watch until the end, I turned and headed towards where the magic circle was.

Avoiding gaze, I put the gift Navier gave me into the space warehouse and entered the crowd of people standing on the magic circle. Perhaps because it is a direct route, there are likely to be over 100 users.

“We will begin direct portal movement to Kalabhem. “Please wait in place and do not move for as long as 5 seconds immediately after the movement ends!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the portal magic circle drawn on the floor began to glow. I had a strange feeling as if my body was being sucked into somewhere, and my vision became dark even though I didn’t close my eyes.

The feeling of floating in my body disappeared and my vision returned along with the feeling of the soles of my shoes stepping on something hard again.

While I was waiting for a while and wondering if Carne had finished the pizza, I heard someone’s voice.

“What, where am I?”

Starting with that voice, the people standing around added their words one by one.

“Could it be that the destination is wrong?”

At those words, I looked around. This was not another portal station building. This was outside, a wide flat area without even a common tree.

“This is not the capital! You stupid wizard! “I have an important appointment!”

When a fat middle-aged man screamed loudly, I suddenly felt a strange feeling, like I was getting goosebumps. It feels like a bug is sticking to my skin and wriggling.

At that time, laughter was heard from somewhere. It was a sound coming from overhead.

When I raised my head and looked at the sky, I made eye contact with a clown dressed as a clown hanging upside down in the air.

“Huuu… ! We finally meet like this. Nice to meet you. “I am Jamie from Confsion’s Number 8 Madness.”

Jamie smiled and said, moving his fingers tied with thread back and forth.

“How can you die like this? Hehehehe!”

As Jamie opened his mouth and clenched his hands, a huge explosion occurred beneath his feet.

Kwaaa!
