130 – Natural development…?
“Oppa, what do you mean? Something big will happen soon?”
After being kicked out of Tempus, I headed straight to the inn and relayed the situation to my younger brother, who was anxiously waiting for me.
“I wonder if this incompetent brother suddenly came and said something strange… But you have to believe me, the God of Time has predicted a disaster…”
Now, look at her with a more solemn look on her face than ever before to emphasize that this is not just her words to be heard and passed down.
“If you are the God of Time… Then the advisor I mentioned before…?”
Yura is embarrassed because she still doesn’t understand the situation due to my mood, but she tries to look as serious as possible.
“Uh… He said he was going to cause an accident himself, something big will happen sooner or later… So, for the time being, we’ll have to take a cautious attitude in everything…”
She smiled as if she realized what she had to do to some extent by my words and made a small fox flame bloom on her hand.
“So… I just have to protect my brother?!”
What was so exciting? Even though she said something bad would happen soon, the suspicious smile did not disappear from her face.
“It’s true that I need protection depending on the situation since many gods are clashing to kill each other… But I guess it’s a little different…”
“You’re saying it’s going to be a world where the law of the jungle is strong? You just said it, doesn’t that mean you just have to be strong?”
“…..”
To be honest, I wanted to point out something, but since it wasn’t actually wrong, I couldn’t think of anything else to say…
“My fault is that I still have little experience, but… I guess I should say I know roughly what to do. I don’t know what the standard for strength is in this world, but… Aren’t I strong enough?”
I heard that Yura is imbued with the magical power of a fox god and can exert the power of a fox god in his prime.
So, just because they were born differently, there was nothing much to point out even though Yura was clearly a divine being.
“So, shouldn’t I just use this power to protect my brother?”
“Yes, I would appreciate it, but at the same time, do you feel sorry for something? It feels a little unsatisfactory for you to be an older brother who relies on your younger brother.”
She tried to say something half-empty, but the response she got back was quite serious.
“No…! That’s absolutely not the case! There’s no man as cool as your brother?!”
Yura denies my denial and gets a little upset.
“Uh.. Huh?”
His somewhat sudden attitude made me stop speaking without realizing it.
“That’s because when I was young, I was protected and relied on by my brother…! Think of it as returning the favor you gave me!”
He held up both hands as if to encourage someone, and his eyes widened beautifully. At the same time, I felt sad that I had been denied.
“I’m just unique… My brother was never bad!”
I didn’t think I should criticize myself even if it was just a joke in front of Yura…
“Okay, calm down, I didn’t seriously fall into self-loathing in the first place…”
After finally calming her down, her gloomy mood disappeared, and fortunately, her eyes didn’t get wet.
“Then I’m glad! By the way… If you’re so sorry about being protected by me…”
Then, she slowly surrenders her body to me, making her body drowsy. It’s not too much, but I end up embracing her tightly as her weight gradually increases.
“Can I pat you on the head…? You’ve done that a lot in the past…”
He asks me for a favor in a voice that is both good and vague, and lingering over the fact that he can no longer return.
“Okay…”
She couldn’t help but stroke Yura’s head as if she were grooming her dog.

“hehehe~ Oppa’s hand… Feels good!”
It purrs and smiles warmly, like a kitten showing affection to its owner.
As he goes further, he pushes his body harder and harder into me, as if he wants it more and more.
“I heard you’re the younger brother who can’t be stopped…”
I caressed Yura for a while with a lingering voice. She was, and still is, a younger brother to me.
“I love you… Oppa.”
“……”
And… A word that is now received differently…
The advice I received from Tempus, who I will now meet as my enemy, came to mind… I had ignored it until now, but now I had to make a decision.
My mind needs to be clear as the end is near.
What do I really want and what do I think of them…
If I don’t make a clear decision… This problem will definitely oppress me in the near future.
◆◆◆
After Yura, the person who went to tell us about this situation was Erina.
She is probably the person I have spent the most time with and a colleague I can feel at ease with.
“Hmm… I see… The Lord of Time said that…”
She listened to my story attentively from beginning to end and looked straight into my eyes with interest and concern rather than embarrassment.
“Yes… I think it would be best to prepare as much as possible. Something that will go down in history is about to happen.”
At those words, she slowly nods her head and caresses the underside of her chin with her thumb and index finger as if she is lost in her thoughts.
“If Harold says so, I shouldn’t be lazy until that time comes. I’ve been feeling a bit dull in recent practice, so I’ll take this opportunity to get my mind back on track.”
Meanwhile, Erina stood up clenching her fists to show off her confidence.
Now that I think about it… Her clothes were comfortable civilian clothes.
Her hair was not grown long, but was simply styled back like usual.
I don’t know if I can wear comfortable clothes at home anymore, but it wasn’t the red dress I wore when I first came to this family or when I was with Marika before.
“Why? Is there anything else you want to say?”
Erina asked with a somewhat puzzled look on her face whether she had read my rather subtle expression.
“No… I guess I don’t wear dresses anymore.”
“Ah~”
Then, he smiles lightly and lets out the exclamation he makes when he understands it correctly.
“At that time, after receiving permission from her mother to go on an adventure, I became more free in my attire even inside the house. Last time Marika came, it was because she was a princess and had to dress formally.”
At the same time, she sighs as if her insides are refreshed.
“The dress attire is impressive, but it was a bit uncomfortable to wear as casual clothes because it was a bit uncomfortable to wear and when doing activities, but it’s a good thing!”
Then we won’t be able to see her wearing a dress from now on…
“Um… Really?”
To be honest, she couldn’t hide that she felt a little disappointed, she thought she was really beautiful when she first saw her…
“That’s a little disappointing… You looked quite attractive in that dress.”
“What.. What?!”
Then she suddenly let out a voice filled with embarrassment and her face blushed.
“Did you like that look…?”
They asked me just in case, so I conveyed my honest feelings.
“If you don’t like it, I can’t ask you to wear it… But personally, I can say that I fell in love with it a little when I first saw it, so I didn’t compliment you, right?”
“?!!”
Then he hurriedly runs away somewhere.
“….?”
The door opens roughly and moves further and further away… The atmosphere descends in the silence that comes in an instant.
“……”
The moment when your ears gradually become deaf in the silence that continues for a while…
“It’s out!”
Erina came back into the room.
In a slightly different way…
“What do you think…? This is what you want… Right?”
Although I liked her dress… I had no intention of forcing her to wear it if she was uncomfortable wearing it.
Erina just said, ‘I liked that outfit,’ but in an instant, she was wearing the same dress she had seen before…
“As I said before, if you don’t like it, you don’t have to wear it…”
“No?! If I like you, I’d rather wear it!”
How on earth are her values established so much…
Excessive favor feels burdensome…
Still, because she cared about her, my impression would be that she was just as beautiful as my first impression.
“Thank you, and it’s so pretty…!”
Compared to its splendor, there is a feeling of lack of additions… But it conveys exactly what you feel.
“Ugh… Thank you!”
He showed embarrassment at those words, but soon began to look even angrier with a happy smile.
“Then… Can I… Give you something like compensation?”
Do you think they will charge an admission fee…Suddenly compensation…?
The moment I thought, she came right in front of me and shyly started talking.
“Can’t I… Hug you tight?”
She felt anxious for no reason, but at her seemingly insignificant request, he gently hugged her as she wanted.
“Seup… hahahaha ♡ Harold’s harvesting… I’m feeling a bit excited…♡”
However, she immediately feels uncomfortable with the strange atmosphere that comes over her, and wonders if it will be okay for her to continue like this.
“But Erina… What kind of person am I to you?”
A natural thought that makes you want to ask yourself why this question hasn’t occurred to you until now.
No matter how much I charm other fates… Was this to that extent?
“Everything.”
Erina answered immediately as soon as I was asked a question… Her voice was also serious.
“What…?”
It’s a short but perfect expression. I tilted my head at those words and explained what had happened so far.
“To me, Harold is everything. The reason I am where I am in the first place was because of you.”
Then, in the increasingly heavy air, her embrace of me becomes stronger.
“If it weren’t for you, when I first set out on my journey, I would have been brutally treated by thieves and captured. If a female slave were to be sold, the concentration is set.”
“No matter how insignificant I was, you always stayed by my side… And always saved me and encouraged me, right? I was seduced by that kindness and now I can’t control it.”
“It’s definitely Harold who gave wings to a dream that couldn’t unfold. Because I was a troublemaker… I was the one who would have ended miserably without any results… I love you more than anything for making me who I am today.”
Then he slowly pushes me backwards and throws me down onto the soft bed. For some reason, the subtle posture causes bad thoughts to swirl around me.
“Even though I’ve become stronger than you and don’t need you in battle… I can’t be without you even for a moment in my heart…”
“Huh…? Erina?”
And then he naturally grabbed my wrist. I realized the situation later, but it was too late…
The development suddenly becomes strange… You can see her eyes becoming increasingly cloudy…
“If you think about it, compared to what other women did to you when they were twisted, I was really obedient and patient. Although there were times when I lost my temper, I tried to respect your free will as much as possible.”
An overwhelming force that suppresses even the slightest attempt to move…
“When I look back, a lot happened, and even though I saw a lot of things, I forced myself to overlook them… So now…”
Wait a minute… Is this… Really…?
“I’ll do whatever I want?”
