The Baby Who Raised the Devil

Competition (6)

Hayton and I walked down the aisle together. Everyone's eyes were fixed on us as if they were moths attracted to light.

As we glanced at the people who were gossiping looking at us, Hayton said as he walked quickly.

“What are you doing this for? Because of the mentor system?”

“Of course, you think I will soon choose someone else from Elysiano Class right?”

“West is already obsessed with the fate of the second child. If the second one sits in Elysiano Class, you think you won't get a seat. You can't ask your brother for help either, can you?”

"So you think I can only ask for your help as a mentor?"

"Isn't that a possible guess?"

While talking, we reached our goal.

When Hayton went there, the barrier was gone. I grabbed the door knob in front of me and said,

"No way."

“…….”

"Thank you for your work today."

And as I was about to walk through the door, Hayton shut the door. When I turned around while frowning,

“Then you should not have come to me.” Hayton said.

“…….”

"You don't know how I spent the last few years studying, you-"

“You're silly.”

Hayton gasped at my words and said, "What?"

“Are you the male lead in a drama? If you want to act, go somewhere else asshole. ”

"You don't know, but I-I!"

"I know."

"What?"

Hayton's eyes widened in embarrassment.

I turned to look at him with my hands crossed.

“How could I not realize it when you look at me so desperately like that.”

"Then why……."

“What can I say when you say nothing? Don't like me anymore?”

“…….”

"No. The more I reject you, the more you will become obsessed with me. I know what kind of person you are. More than you think.”

At first he was just a 16-year-old boy who lost his place to lean. She looked at me with gratitude earlier, but as time passed, the depth of her gaze changed.

She wanted to know me not as her sponsor, she was jealous when others were by my side, and finally realized her own emotions.

She didn't know it but in my second life, I lived with her as her little sister for over ten years.

“But I will tell you. Have no hope. It is not because of you and your situation, it is because I do not have you in your heart.”

"Aren't you going to give me a chance?"

Hayton asked a question, and I answered firmly.

"No."

“…….”

His hand that was holding the door slipped and fell.

“But your heart, I will remember it with gratitude.”my words while staring at Hayton,

Hayton raised his head slightly and looked at me. His eyes trembled.

"Be a good man, Hayton."

“…….”

“For you to meet someone a hundred times better than me.”

With those words, I opened the door. Hayton's little mutter came from behind me.

“I cannot give up..”.

“…….”

“I can't..”

I closed the door without hearing it. Because I have no intention of doing that.

It's time to take a deep breath.

"Did Hayton like you?"

Gasp!

Frightened, I held my chest.

“Don't be surprised. I'm just prince.”

That's East.

With his hands and feet shackled, he looked at me with sparkling eyes.

"Ah yes.... prince……."

The prince's part was right, but I was surprised to hear it from him.

"Why did you come? Is West looking for me? Does he hate me? Huh uh?"

“Why are you doing something that will be hated?”

“West bad.”

"Why?"

“I was just born a little earlier than West, and I have to give anything to West. Just because I'm an older brother.”

“…….”

“West can sleep late and run around, but not with me. That's because he's my brother.”

“…….”

“Yesterday my mom nagged me. West was hurt because I couldn't take care of him. That's because I'm older brother .. ”

“…….”

“West did more than me, but I became like this because they knew it once. I hate my sister!"

“That's why I'm here.”

"Huh?"

“When I see East, I think of someone.”

"Who?"

“My oldest. That day, when he was about to attack West and stopped, his facial expression reminded me of my older brother.”

I crouched down in front of East, with my chin resting on my knees.

“I'm a very selfish person, so I don't really care about other people's business. But I keep thinking about you over and over again.”

“…….”

“I never saw the documents. Because my oldest brother did it all. Me, Henry and Isaac went to bed early, but my eldest brother only slept 4-5 hours a day. Because he is the oldest. If she sleeps longer, she thinks her sisters should work for her, that's why she never does that.”

“…….”

“Henry and Isaac had a lot of incidents at the academy, right? Isaac is the one who will act before thinking, and Henry is petty, even though he doesn't look like it.”

"Henry looks like that."

"However. My eldest brother graduated very calmly.”

"How can you?"

“Because he's the oldest son. He is the representative of the siblings, so he should not do things that embarrass us. I've only been mad at him once, ever since I was adopted. Do you know why?"

"Why?"

“Because she's sick. The eldest son had to be strong, so he did not want to be discovered. But…"

I smiled and looked towards East.

“I can't even get angry. Just like you in the party hall, even if you are angry, you have no intention to hurt him.”

“..... That's how I always live.”

"That's fine. First of all, you are always told that you should pay attention to your little brother. If it's okay to be angry.”

East pursed his lips. His eyes are getting teary.

"Yes." Yeah."

“I didn't mean to hurt him……. I was angry at West and I knew I shouldn't have hurt him, but everyone defended West, they saw me as a bad brother, so.

I stroked East's head.

"I know."

"Sniff……."

East crying.

Why isn't he sad? Guilt for trying to attack his own brother, hurting someone, fear of imprisonment. He will be overwhelmed with emotion.

I carefully ruffled his head for a while, and after he calmed down for a while, I opened my mouth.

"You know, you might get kicked out of school."

“T-no. The servants will tell everyone that I must be removed to make West crown prince. Then my mother ……. ”When he said that, he looked terrified.

"So, aren't you going to make a deal with me?"

"Huh?"

"I told you. I'm a selfish person. A hyena who never misses a chance.”

East blinked, and I raised an eyebrow.

“I will help you to keep Empress Waynes from crying. Then will you help me too?”

East looked at me and smiled widely.

"good. You don't smell like a bad guy. ”

"That's a deal."

We looked at each other and laughed.

***

When I left the room where East was locked up, I was surprised to see people at the door.

"Sister brothers?"

While looking at their expressions as to why they came here, Isaac said with his hands crossed.

“Did you forget why East got stuck? Young werebeasts are emotionally sensitive and cannot control them. That's why they're locked up for fear of danger.”

I shut Isaac's mouth immediately.

“Wall here thin. You heard everything from East. ”

“Hmpf! Hmpf!”

"Let's talk while we walk."

I moved in with Henry and Isaac behind me.

After I left the building and reached a quiet place, I saw my brothers.

"East controls his emotions, and he's harmless."

"But……!"

“I can't leave without thinking about my oldest brother. The eyes of East who looked at West in the hall were very similar to the eyes of Brother Johann, who could not be angry at us.”

“…….”

Isaac opened his mouth.

“...... What is an excuse? You're getting weaker! ”

“By the way, I need the help of my brothers.”

"What?"

"You look like you're thinking bad things" Henry said as I laughed.

"You're smart as always."

"So, how can we help?"

"This is the problem ......"

As I whispered my plan, Henry and Isaac's eyes widened.

After hearing the plan, the two looked at each other and said,

"As expected, she's our little sister."

And they both ruffled my hair at the same time.

"Good, let's help."

"Yes." Yeah."

I closed my mouth with both hands and laughed. That afternoon, we started the operation.

As I walked around the academy, I groaned.

'Where are you, West?'

I heard that they saw her in the dorm, so I went to the dorm. Then they saw him go to Elysiano's meeting room. But after I arrived, they directed me to the lecture hall.

'She must be with Mina. Besides, Mina always goes around'

[He is an inssa*.]

* TL/N: Popular people, insiders.

I was shocked when I heard Chul-soo's voice in my ear.

'Can you not surprise me? My concentration cannot be disturbed. Especially now!'

Henry taught me how to secretly use my holy power in school.

He gave me the formula for the barrier so that I can use my holy power undetected.

[This is similar to how high school students secretly use school Wi-Fi. If we secretly know the password, we can use Wi-Fi.]

'What is Wi-Fi? Wait, it's okay. Are you going to talk again?'

But Chul-soo, who has taken advantage of the opportunity, explains as usual.

[Wi-Fi is a wireless communication technology, but it uses devices like smartphones and PCs-]

I gave up on understanding it. Then at that moment, Emeline came to me.

“Leblaine!”

"Yes?"

“I've been looking for you for a long time. Why are you here? Everyone go to the village under the mountain.”

"We can go to the village under the mountain?"

“Yes, starting today, they also give permission to new students. Although the scope of the exit is limited to the 2nd gate. ”

“...... Then Mina too?”

"He left a while ago."

“Where can I get a sightseeing permit? Will it take a long time?”

Emeline raised the corner of her mouth and stretched out two papers in front of me. One of them had the name Emeline and the other had my name on it.

"I got it."

“Emily, you are great! You're charming, you're cool! ”

I immediately took my ticket and rubbed the paper onto my cheek.

"Let's go. Miss Juliet is in the village at the foot of the mountain, so I have to go after her. Oh, I heard you could use a teleportation scroll at the school gate, but walking around it sucks—”

I took out a teleportation scroll because it would be a long journey.

“It's an honor to be friends with Lady Dubbede.”

“Let's make good use of each other.”

"Let's go!"

Me and Emeline left the school gate immediately. And after tearing the scroll, we opened our eyes ...

"What, Emeline, did you give me the correct coordinates?"

"That's right……."

We went to an alley with rundown houses. This place looks like a slum.

'Are we past the 2nd gate?'

We're in trouble. In that case, East's expulsion won't be a problem. I might get kicked out!
