Chapter 152: thud
Brother Cain begins to think about how the school’s student council should be. His appearance is very serious. As I watched him, I felt a sense of crisis.
It’s not good if things continue as they are. The student council of the school might change drastically because of me.
"B-Brother Cain, what are the shops around here? It looks like they're all closed..."
“Hmm? Oh, there is a store around here that sells daily necessities. But it looks like we came here too early, and it doesn’t seem to be open. I thought they might be open. it’s a shame. It’s a store that collects goods from various places and is very popular.”
I wish I could have seen it. I’m sure they have some exciting goods there. I guess you can shop freely in the school. Maybe my brother wanted to show me the joy of being able to shop freely in the school.
“Do they sell books?”
“There is a bookstore in another location. But I don’t think it has a large selection of books. Most of the books are textbooks and reference books.”
I see, it seems like he doesn't go to bookstores very often. He bristled. Some of the closed store signs had pictures of anvils painted on them.*

"Brother, are there any weapons sold at that store?"
I was a little surprised. I didn’t think it was possible to buy dangerous items capable of killing in the school.
“Oh, that’s a weapon repair shop. They repair blades when they get chipped, bent, or broken.”
“I see.”
It was indeed not a store selling hazardous materials. I felt a little relieved. If such a store existed, the school would probably be a dangerous place.
There were other stores with magic wands and clothes painted on them. Can you even buy clothes? The campus has become a bit of a town. There seems to be a café as well.
After walking around the campus, I entered the only café that was open. A good amount of time has passed since we entered the campus. I wonder if the knights waiting at the gate are getting impatient.
“How was it? Did you find it at least a little interesting?”
“Yes, I thought it was the biggest academy in the royal capital.”
There are other schools in the royal capital besides this one. This school attracts aristocrats from all over the country, so it is not possible to enroll all the students from the royal capital. Only a limited number of selected people can enter.
“I see. You’re planning to go to the academy in the territorial capital after all.”

“Yes. I will study Potions at the academy in the capital.”
“Not enough for you here? It can't be helped.”
It seems that Brother Cain wanted a junior. But you know what, brother? As long as you don’t repeat a year, you and I won’t be in school together. Do you understand, there?
After the break, we left the school. I didn’t miss the sigh of relief from the knights and servants when they saw us safely out of the school. Are you that anxious?
Back at the townhouse, we quickly grabbed our loot. I’m curious about the textbook on magic potions, but I’m also curious about the illustrated book on monster and magical tools.
The monster book not only described the characteristics of the monsters, but also the materials that could be obtained from them. This is a book for adventurers, right? It was in a bookstore for nobles, but I wonder if there are any nobles who would buy it? Maybe there are more nobles who want to become adventurers than I thought.
“Julius, why don’t we have a striking match in the garden?”
“Eh? No, thank you.”
“Okay"
The brother is clearly shifty. I won’t do it even if you make a face like that. What would happen if I had a fight with my brother Cain and he found out how strong I am? I can’t take such a risk, especially since he might lose confidence.

I felt sorry about that, but I read the book he had bought for me, thinking that it was also for him. In the meantime, brother Alex came home.
“Welcome home, Brother Alex.”
“I’m home. Have you two been good?”
He treated me like a child completely. Does he feel like a father? You’re not ready for that yet. Brother Cain was clearly annoyed. It seems he doesn’t like being treated like a child. Even though he may be small, Brother Cain is a full-fledged man. I think it’s more convenient for me to be treated like a child.
“I was reading a book that Brother Cain had bought for me. I think he’s in the garden testing out the sword he bought."
“Yes. …… Cain, did you buy another sword?”
Thudthudthud, I could almost hear the sound from behind brother Alex. A sad smile. Scary. Brother Cain’s face was also tense. He was glancing at me with a look that said, “You’ve said too much!”
Even if you try to fake it, Brother Alex will find out soon, Brother Cain. Brother Alex won’t miss it.
“Brother Alex, I’m not the only one who bought a sword! Julius bought a sword too, you know!”
“Oh, really?”
The thudding pulled back. He looked like a pigeon that had been hit by a peashooter. Apparently, it was unexpected. And apparently, the reason why big brother Cain bought me the sword was because he was planning to use me as a shield. I can’t …… forgive him for wasting my allowance for that!
“Yes. Once I refused to buy it, but Brother Cain said he would buy it for me, so I thought…”
“…… Cain, I said you can buy anything you want, but there’s no need to buy things you don’t need, okay?”
“I’m sorry! I-I’m sorry.”
The thudding came back. I see, no wonder Brother Cain had money. Wasn’t that money in his pocket? It was money given to him for the social season.
Ad
That would make Brother Alex angry. The social season hadn’t even started yet, and he was spending it all.
“Well, you can’t help what you bought. Julius, may I see what kind of sword you bought?”
"Yes. I don't mind?"
I asked the servant to bring me the sword. When I took the wakizashi out of the bag in which it was wrapped and handed it to him, he tilted his head. What, did I do something wrong?
“That’s an unfamiliar sword.”
“It looks like it’s called a Wakizashi. It seems to have been brought from the Orient. It looks to be a rare sword, and there was only one.”
After listening to Brother Cain’s explanation, Brother Alex’s eyebrows furrowed even more.. He’s got a pretty suspicious look in his eyes.
‘“That’s what Julius chose, right?”
“Yes. That’s right, but…?”
What’s that look? Maybe it was a bad idea to buy the sword?
TL Note:
The wakizashi (Japanese: 脇差, “side inserted sword”) is one of the traditionally made Japanese swords (nihontō) worn by the samurai in feudal Japan.
