“But sister, how do I cook this? I don’t know…”
My sister, who was looking around the turkey, said in a troubled voice. Then Elaine, who was organizing her luggage, hurriedly ran to the kitchen.
“My little brother, don’t do that, sit down! I’ll do it all!”
He was also being respectful to his younger brothers because he had no respect for them. As I was moving towards the kitchen, I heard my brother’s muffled voice.
“Before that, change your clothes first, noona. It’s not good for children’s education.”
“Clothes?”
“Once upon a time, I wore it every day. I washed it and dried it well.”
The clothes his brother took out was a white-sleeved tunic with a light green background. Elaine took her clothes and went into her room, changing her clothes and leaving. Wearing neat clothes, she had her black hair tied with a headband instead of a headband and hung over her shoulders, and her impression was completely different. She only changed clothes, but she just looked like a neat village maiden. It was hard to recognize him as he was a different person.
“It’s the clothes I wore years ago, are you okay?”
“It’s perfect except for the stuffy chest!”
As he said, the buttons on his chest were bulging as if they were about to burst. In the meantime, it seemed that the chest had grown again. Maybe he had some kind of disease, Elaine’s younger brother Elsie thought so.
“I’m sitting at the table waiting! It’ll be ready in no time!”
Elaine entered the kitchen and started cooking with her skillful skills. Green-yellow vegetables such as celery and carrots were cut into small pieces and laid out on the floor of the oven, the turkey’s intestines were scraped off with a leisurely knife, and the butter, seed mustard, and garlic sauce were mixed and spread evenly on the outside. It’s not something I’ve done once or twice. Moments later, the sweet, fragrant turkey came out of the oven. The outer skin is mixed with gelatin and it is cooked to a chewy and crispy brown color.
Elaine pulled the tray out of the oven and, smiling broadly, carried the turkey to the table. The younger brothers, who were waiting with salivation, rushed to the food. They were fighting each other for meat on each other’s plates. Elaine grinned and restrained the brothers with a fork.
“Come on, you can’t fight with your family.”
“But he took all the breast meat from my plate!”
“Hey, what’s on your plate isn’t yours, right?”
Again restraining the younger sisters from fighting, Elaine gave them her share of turkey. The younger brothers, who had been fighting for even one more bite until recently, hesitated to eat the meat.
“Well then, what about your sister?”
“My sister has already eaten a lot of these things outside!”
With those words, the little sisters finally started to eat meat with a fork, in peace. A little older brother, Elsie Enfield, shrugged her chin and smiled.
“And I have good news for Elsie too!”
“Huh? To me?”
Elsie rolled her eyes. Elaine rushed to her luggage and immediately laid the bag of gold coins empty on the desk and opened her chest.
“This older sister, I mean, she’s been paying the tuition for Elsie’s Higher Swordsmanship Academy! Next week’s registration day? Take this with you…”
“I will not.”
Contrary to Elaine’s expectation that she would like it immensely, Elsie turned her eyes to the book she was reading and immediately refused. Surprised, Elaine asked again.
“Huh? What?”
“I’m not going to the academy. Graduating from secondary academy is enough.”
As if it had been decided in advance, Elsie’s voice was firm. Elaine, who was dazed for a moment, soon changed to a serious expression and began to propose several hypotheses.
“Why, why are you saying that all of a sudden? Are you saying that your grades aren’t coming out?”
“He’s the senior in the grade.”
“Then, are you being bullied?”
“I’m the student body president.”
“Well then, it seems that he is obsessed with the second-class noble glasses beast ball who feels inferior to the student council president who looks like a pretty girl at first glance, who doesn’t miss the senior year despite the difficult circumstances…”
“My sister told me to stop reading those novels! And I have nothing to do with him!”
Elsie blushed, closed the book and slammed the desk. Then, he sighed and told the reason.
“It’s because I don’t want my sister to suffer.”
“Yes? Go, suffer?”
“Sister, now that you’re away from home, where are you going to go?”
At those words, the eyes of the younger sisters who had been eating turkey frantically twitched. Elaine waved her hand in embarrassment.
“Wow, what, how?”
“Up until now, whenever you go out to a dangerous place, you’ve cooked this dish every day. So, of course, you notice. This money is not what you’ve earned in return.”
“No, it’s not… it’s different!”
“Don’t lie. It was like when I applied for a battle saint that no one applied for, such as exempting tuition and giving scholarships. Since none of the saints came out because the hero was the worst, I did it when I joined the hero’s party to pay off debt. It’s like this again this time. “
Elsie, unlike her older sister, was a fairly quick-witted common sense person. Elsie said as she pushed the bag of gold coins back in.
“My sister also has a life for her, so there is no reason to suffer alone. Give me this money.”
“Then, the academy…”
“I was going to hit him anyway and become an adventurer. I got confirmation from the professor, but he said that I have enough skills to succeed even if I become an adventurer.”
As Elsie promised, she said as she picked up the book again.
“From now on, I will earn money. My sister finds her dream. In the old days, I said that I just wanted to marry a good man and become a good mother.”
Hearing that, Elaine looked at her younger brother, who pretended to be strong, with a mysterious expression.
When Elaine was 17, the Enfield family suddenly collapsed.
It was because of his parents’ doubts. Relatives flocked like a herd of wolves and took away the Enfield family’s legacy, and no one cared about the rest of the children. This was usually the case with aristocratic societies.
Until then, Elaine was just an ordinary young girl who wanted to be her current wife. Rather, he was in a position of concern because he was too shy. I used to hear that I was gloomy because I had long bangs to cover my eyes, walked with my head bowed, and I was so impatient with the opposite s*x that I couldn’t even ask a male servant properly.
Because of her personality, she doesn’t have many friends, so her only hobby is books. However, I am not a smart person, so most of the books I read were entertainment novels.
But sometimes, even such a novel can save people.
When the family collapsed suddenly after the death of her parents, she sat blankly with her dead eyes as if the world had ended.
A book I stumbled upon at that time gave her strength.
Success story of a villain girl.
Like the Enfield family, a young girl from a family that collapsed due to the sudden death of her parents.
It was a story about revitalizing a family by mobilizing beautiful appearance, scheming, and evil deeds.
I thought I wanted to be like the girl in the novel. Really, I thought hard.
So she stopped crying and tried every night. He tried to change his personality to be an extrovert, practiced how to smile in the mirror, and cut his own bangs that had grown tall and obscured his view.
Those ridiculously daring clothes were also a product of that effort. For her, that nun’s robe was a kind of armor. Wearing that dress, I was able to portray myself as confident and dignified as Young-ae in the novel.
“it’s okay.”
Elaine smiled and patted Elsie’s hair, which had grown taller.
“This is my eldest sister, and I am ordering as the current head of the Enfield family. Be sure to go to the academy.”
“But…”
“If we want to revive our family, our smart Elsie must become a knight. My older sister was stupid and barely graduated from the academy, she couldn’t do anything… but she’s smart. Because she believes. Elsie can do it. “
“Still, you just returned from a life-threatening adventure, and where are you going?”
Elsie bowed her head and said so. Maybe it was just that he didn’t want to break up with his sister, Elaine thought so. she said with a wide smile.
“It’s not at all dangerous this time. It’s more like a vacation!”
“If that’s the case, okay.”
“Are you accepting it right away?”
“My sister, if I tell a lie, it will show right away. I don’t think it’s a lie.”
Elsie, who was handed the bag of gold coins that she had refused, resolutely demanded it after a while.
“Then tell me what the mission is this time.”
“Yes?”
“Last time I lied about going to catch some kind of monster cat, but after a while I sent you a letter saying that I was at the hero’s party. Do you know how much they cried?
“Ha, but…”
“Otherwise I won’t go to school.”
It was a new threat. However, this material was enough to threaten Elaine. Elaine took a deep breath and began to tell her everything. The full story of the hero party, the reason why Jain ran out, and the reason why the hero party was disbanded. And, Elsie noticed right away this time too.
“Sister, you’re on good terms with that red mage, aren’t you?
“Oh, ah, that’s great!”
“Are you lying?”
Elaine, speechless, bowed her head. Elsie scratched her head and questioned.
“Are you really okay?”
“It’s okay! Don’t worry, because I prepared two secret weapons to capture that man using the activity fee I received so much!”
Elaine stretched her chest and groaned, pointing to the large sack. Her chest was so wide open that she couldn’t stand the pressure, and a button smashed and fell on the table. Elsie narrowed her eyes and looked at her sister’s face.
If it was the secret weapon that this older sister thought of, it certainly didn’t seem right.
“Then show me that too.”
“Hehe, don’t be surprised to see it.”
Elaine didn’t even notice that the button had been smashed and the front of the front was loose, and excitedly ran towards the bag. Then he took a luxuriously packaged box and put it on the table.
“First of all!”
