Chapter 200: From now on + Sophia’s Point of View

“By the way, I wanted to ask you something.”

“What?”

Sophie said cheerfully as if what she had just said had never happened.

“What are you going to do now, big brother?”

“What do you mean?”

“Don’t you want to leave the elf village and go back to the royal capital?”

Oh, I see. I’ve already evolved, and I’ve also prevented the invasion of the demons, so there’s no need to stay in this village any longer.

“I’m also concerned about Shana and Claudia-san, so I have to go home.”

“Onii-chan……Even if you’re clueless about love, to name another woman, even though it was right after my confession….”

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry! that’s why don’t you come so close to me! what’re you doing?!”

“I’m trying to teach Onii-chan how to take care of my feelings.”

After all this time, it was probably a mistake to let Sophie sit on the same bed with me. And calling Shana and Claudia-san other women….

“Well, don’t worry. I won’t do anything today.”

“I hope that’s the way it will be for the rest of our lives…”

Sophie’s lips came close to touching mine again, and then she easily moved away.  Now that it’s just the two of us and we’re not being interrupted, why is that?

“Why aren’t you attacking me today?”

“Do you want me to attack you?”

“No! I’m just asking a normal question! I’m just curious! I don’t mean anything else! And don’t make me yours naturally!”

It was certainly not the right thing to say. That was like asking for Sophie to attack me.”

“I’m still very disappointed that you beat me today.”

“Is that so?”

‘Yes. I tried my best to win today. But I still lost to my brother.”

I thought she didn’t care because she didn’t seem to be too upset about it, but Sophie was upset that she lost. Well, it’s true that I’ve almost no memory of seeing Sophie lose, including in her previous life. So I guess she’s not used to losing.

“So today, as a reminder to myself, I won’t attack my brother. Today.”

“I see. By the way, you don’t have to emphasize “today.”

“Oh, of course, if you want me to touch you, I will, you know?

“I don’t want you to!”

Then me and Sophie talked nonsense until the night ended. I almost cried a little at the thought of talking to Yumi for the first time in a long time. Incidentally, we also talked about something not so silly among the silly talk. We talked about leaving the elf village and going back to the royal capital in about a week’s time. I’m very grateful to them for their hospitality in the elven village. But, I can’t continue to stay here, so it’s time to go back to the royal capital.

◆◇◆◇◇◇◆◆◆◆

Sophia’s point of view

My brother recognized me as Yumi.

I was very happy about that. I had given him some hints so that he would notice, but my brother, who is not so keen on such things, didn’t notice very much. My mother in my previous life told me the morning after my rebellious phase was over, “You should definitely only use birth control because of the world we live in. It seems my father and mother were aware of my feelings. I wanted my brother to inherit a little bit of that sharpness from my parents.

I lied to my brother as quickly as I could about how I was reincarnated. There was no way I could say that I had committed suicide, even though I had reincarnated to meet my brother. That would make my brother feel very responsible. And he would think I was too heavy. I have a good self-analysis. So I understand that I am heavy. So until my brother chooses me above all else, I will keep it a secret. But I am a normal girl. I get jealous when my brother talks to other women. I hope you will forgive me for interrupting him a little at such times.

Also, I fought with my brother and lost. I was surprised at myself for being surprised at that. I didn’t think I would lose to my brother, even though I would have lost to him in a spar, but I didn’t think I would lose to my brother. I know my brother better than anyone else, yet I seemed to have underestimated him. So when I woke up and found out that I had lost, I was very disappointed. It seems that I don’t want to lose even against my favorite brother. No, I don’t want to lose because he is my favorite brother. If things continue as they are now, if something happens to me, he will protect me. That is absolutely unacceptable. I have to be strong. I want to protect him.

At the same time, I also had a small thought.

If my brother and I were to kill each other, who would win? In this feud between siblings, we were careful not to inflict fatal injuries on each other. That’s why I couldn’t use all of my multiple instant-death magic spells. If I could have used them…no, let’s quit thinking like that. I would never have the chance to use such magic on my brother in the future….

But I’m glad that my brother is willing to come back to King’s Landing. To be honest, I don’t like the three upper elves. On the contrary, they probably don’t like me either. That’s why I don’t want to stay here for long. Besides, I want to be an adventurer again with my brother. I want to spend the night with him.

Up until now we have been a party of three, but maybe we will be a party of four. Because while my brother and I were away, Shana had formed a party with Claudia and was an adventurer. I’m not opposed to a party of four. Claudia’s ability would not be a problem. It would be useful for my brother. But I have to be careful not to get any unnecessary insects on him. Also, it is almost time for the foreign students to come to the human country. Rumor has it that both beastmen and dwarves will be coming to our kingdom of Lingalia this time. I ‘m sure that the elves will come to Lingalia. My brother, who was the leader in the school battle, and I, who was the deputy leader, will have to take care of the foreign students.

It will take some time for my brother and I to live a loving life together.
