Episode 47
After completing strength and agility training at the indoor training center, Raon went out to the outdoor training ground.
‘No.’
I kept hearing the sound of swords coming from outside, so I thought Runan was there, but I didn’t see it. I guess I went home first for some reason.
‘It’s annoying when it’s there, but it’s a little sad that it isn’t.’
Runan always waits until the training is over and then goes back with a nodded greeting.
I didn’t usually feel that way, but I felt a little sorry for not being able to receive that greeting.
‘It’s a pity that I was brainwashed.’
Raon walked out of the gym with a grin. Burren and Marta were still inside, so there was no need to finish them as usual.
– Pathetic bastard.
‘What?’
– Now isn’t the time to think like that, is it?
‘What do you mean?’
-… … .
Lars didn’t say any more. He kept his mouth shut and looked only to the west.
‘what?’
Raon turned his head toward Lars. I couldn’t feel anything, but it felt subtle.
‘just in case.’
He rotated the ring of fire and raised the cartoonist’s aura. It even activated the sense of the fairy tale, spreading the sense of spirit widely.
Tick!
Something was caught in the senses from a distance. But nothing was felt.
That means.
‘Someone wrote the gimmick.’
It means that someone unknown has used an auror to block out the sound and presence.
‘I’ll go.’

Normally I wouldn’t care if I did or not, but Lars’ reaction made me feel like I had to go.
He used the shadow foot technique to completely kill his foot so that he could step out at any time and ran to the place where the shield was installed.
The two were standing in a dark alley where even the guards of the family’s borders could not see.
One of them was Runan, and on the other side was a tall man.
‘Why is he over there? And that expression… .’
Runan, who thought he had returned home, was holding her hands tightly. His expression was similar to his usual, but his eyes seemed to be frightened.
I saw the man on the other side.
A handsome man with the same silver hair as Luna and purple eyes was wearing a great sword on his back.
‘Syrian Slion.’
It’s a name I’ve heard in my previous life.
Twelve monsters who are geniuses of the Sleon family and are expected to become the next Ten Thousands of Continents. A man named in the Continental Twelve Stars.
‘But why are you scared?’
Even though Runan saw his brother, he was not smiling or happy, but he was scared like a rabbit who had met a wild beast.
Sirion was saying something to Runan, but he couldn’t hear him. He suddenly took a cute squirrel out of his pocket and held it to Runan.
Then, when Runan held out his hand, he popped the squirrel.
Aaah!
I couldn’t hear the sound because of the gimmick, but I could tell that Runan was screaming.
Sirion approached Runan with a face that was dry enough to get goosebumps and began to whisper.
‘You have to stop it.’
I don’t know what it was, but I had a feeling that it shouldn’t be continued.
Raon stepped forward with the manga artist’s aura.
Quang!
The floor smashed and there was a roar. I saw Syria frown as it fell on Runan.
“What are you?”
Raon did not miss the gap and stood in front of Runan. He tilted his head and stared at Syria.
“What is bothering Runan?”
You have to pretend you don’t know who you are.
As long as you know that Syria and Runan are family, you cannot intervene. Because it’s someone else’s family.
But pretending not to know leaves room for interference.
“Isn’t it the order to reveal your name first if you want to ask someone’s name?”
Syria laughed lightly.
“It’s not something the guy who set up a screen in an alley like this would say. Are you a thief?”
“Well… .”
Syria frowned at Raon’s ridicule. But what It was like acting. It’s not really embarrassing or angry, it’s like acting angry.
‘You know what kind of person this guy is.’
Derus Robert, who killed himself in his previous life. There was a stench like that gnome from Syria.
“Oh, you might think so. But I’m not a thief, I’m not a stranger, I’m the boy’s brother.”
Syria pointed to Runan behind Raon.
“… … .”
Raon blocked Syria’s gaze and glanced at Runan. It was a blank expression, but it wasn’t the usual dazed expression, it was an expression of severe shock. My little shoulder trembled uncomfortably.
“You look like you’re scared? Are you really my brother?”
“Oh, it’s been a while since I’ve seen you, so I was joking around and said that.”
“Is it a joke to hold a squirrel in your hand and pop it?”
“Oh, this isn’t real. It’s just a toy.”
As Syria swung his hand, the blood on his hands and the floor flew to ashes. The auror melted all the blood and flesh.
“Can I really kill a squirrel?”
A terrifying force radiates from his whole body. the stench of death. It was similar to the scent he had felt before dying from Derus.
– It’s also cheeky. How dare humans threaten the master’s possessive body?
Raon did not answer, and raised the momentum. As Lars said, that’s a threat. I warn you to step back, as it can kill you too.
But he didn’t just come to this place.
“Laon! Are you destroying the property of this child’s family!”
Burren, who was in the gymnasium, came out, and the swordsmen standing on the edge were also running towards it. Martha’s swear words were also heard from afar for disturbing the training.
“Laon. It was Raon Sieghard. no wonder.”
Syria’s eyes gleamed like beads of ink. His hair stood upright in his eyes that seemed to have worn out emotions.
“But you really have to. As soon as I recovered, I received a long-term mission, so I just came to give my brother a snack.”
He took a rectangular box out of his pocket and set it down on the floor. Although the shape and pattern were slightly different, it was a box of marbled ice cream.
“Lunan.”
Syria’s eyes changed once again. It is the eyes of an older brother looking at his lovely younger brother.
“I have a very good friend. Let’s be friends in the future.”
“Yes.”
“I’m sorry my brother was so mischievous. stay healthy See you next.”
He waved his hand and disappeared. As if turned into the wind.
“Is that man Twelve Star Syrian Sleon?”
Burren gasped when he saw where Syria was.
“The atmosphere is different. I am not a twelve-star for nothing.”
“okay. It was different.”
Leon nodded his head. He was called a genius and a hero, I didn’t know he was such a madman.
“Lunan.”
I looked back and looked at Luna. Her expression was the same as usual, but her eyes fluttered. He still looked frightened.
“let’s go. I hope for you.”
They said Syria had a mission, so it won’t be in the family.
“… yes.”
Luna nodded slowly and stood up.
“What’s going on?”
Burren came with a box of marbled ice cream.
“It was nothing special.”
Raon took the box instead and shook his head.
“Is that so?”
Burren didn’t ask any more.
“Tell me if you need any help. I will help you with what you can do as a trainee.”
He said so and left the alley first.
‘It’s really grown a lot.’
Burren has changed so much that people who see it are proud.
-But the king still doesn’t like the color of his eyes… .
‘Thank you.’
-What?
‘Thanks to you, I was able to save Runan. I don’t know if I really saved it.’
– Adventure! Wasn’t that girl the ice cream girl of Bonwang? I just told them because I thought I wouldn’t be able to eat ice cream if there was a problem.
‘That’s why I thank you.’
– Then if you ask for that ice cream… .
‘If it wasn’t for those words, I almost would have seen you again.’
Raon struck Lars with the palm of his hand. He’s a monarch who doesn’t really understand the situation.
“let’s go.”
“yes.”
I took Runan to the place where the people of the Sleon family were.
Raon walked beside Runan and didn’t say anything.
someone else’s family. What’s more, I didn’t know the exact situation, but I knew well that it wouldn’t help if I offered clumsy comfort.
When Runan’s pace slowed, he slowed it down, and when he stopped, he stopped.
Shortly thereafter, the carriages and maids of the Sleon family appeared.
Raon watched Runan get into the carriage, then handed the ice cream box in his hand.
“thank you.”
Runan spoke in a gloomy voice the words he had previously said in an excited voice and then left.
* * *
When Runan arrived at the family mansion, Lokan Sleon came out to meet him.
“Lunan! He worked hard to train.”
“yes.”
He nodded and got out of the carriage.
“Have you seen your brother? I said I was going to give you a present.”
“… yes.”
Runan took a deep breath and showed the ice cream box in his hand. His eyes were blank as usual.
“It’s your favorite ice cream. Even though he was busy with his mission and training, he always thought of you.”
Lokan chuckled, muttering that I didn’t have any presents.
Runan bit his molars softly. I thought about revealing all the facts, but it seemed that the things I had been protecting up until now would crumble.
“… I will rest.”
Locking the words in his throat, he slowly climbed the stairs of the mansion.
“okay. You must be tired, get some rest.”
“yes.”
Rokhan motioned for him to come in. Runan nodded and went up to the second floor.
“ha.”
Runan entered the room, took a deep breath and sat down on the floor. I bit my lip and opened the lid of the ice cream box.
It was my favorite ice cream, but I couldn’t get my hands on it. I only remembered my brother’s face.
‘I’m here again. as it is.’
Syrian Sleon wasn’t like that from the beginning.
After returning from living alone from the second mission, he changed like a person. It’s only for me too.
To others, he was still a courteous and kind genius swordsman, but to himself, he became a monster of obsession with no idea where he came from.
‘Ruby… .’
The ruby he was talking about was a red-eyed squirrel that lived in a nearby tree when he was young.
We got to know each other and gave him the name Ruby, and we played together every day, but one day Ruby scratched the back of his hand.
Because she was pregnant, the stress caused her only minor injuries, and when Syria saw it, she caught Ruby and all the nearby squirrels and exploded them right in front of them.
and said
you’re mine you shouldn’t get hurt Just breathe and live.
If you tell your father or mother this, you will destroy the family. He threatened to save only you and burn them all to death.
From that day on, Luna kept her mouth shut.
In case someone else could be harmed, people and animals were kept away, and the number of words was extremely reduced.
Living alone like that, the same loner. No, I met a boy who seemed more lonely and suffering than me.
Laon.
At first, I was just curious about how to grow quickly and how to endure with poor constitution and stamina.
Just curious. I just approached him out of curiosity about his growth.
and found out
Who is Laon? How hard you worked and how hard you endured.
I thought that I could change too, and I started to change when I saw that child who changed the way he looked at other people with his efforts.
The fear of Syria had been forgotten thanks to Raon and the trainees at the 5th Training Grounds, but to this day, that fear is revived.
Runan just watched until all the ice cream in the box melted.
“only me.”
He bowed his head between his knees and muttered in a watery voice.
“I just have to be patient. it’s okay.”
I don’t think I’ll ever eat ice cream again.
* * *
After Raon took Runan and went back to his dorm, Lars popped out of his bracelet.
– Was he really human?
‘What?’
– The ice cream girl’s older brother.
‘Oh, he’s not that weird.’
Leon nodded his head. Syria was certainly a friendly and gentle man, but he also had the creepiness of facing darkness.
Especially when he threatened, his eyes were as lively as dried grass. Just looking at it makes my spine shiver.
But the acting was good. If he hadn’t seen the squirrel popping and threatening Runan, he would have been deceived.
‘He’s crazy like Derus.’
Syria did not seem to feel human emotions. It wasn’t because of education like himself, it was like a broken human being.
‘I said it was a long-term mission, so it won’t come for a while.’
-As long as he’s the ice cream girl’s older brother, problems will continue to arise.
‘That’s right.’
Even if Syria comes to the family in a few years, it is inevitable that they will continue to see each other because they are Luna and her family.

No, you may still be watching. Because what was contained in his dry eyes was obviously obsession.
– Hand over your body. Just kill him and don’t give it back.
‘uh?’
– The king will repay the favor twice and the enemy ten times. He showed me a new world of beaded ice cream, so I can do that.
‘You’re laughing.’
Raon smiled and waved his hands.
– Seriously!
‘Even if you’re serious, that’s not okay.’
– Why?
‘He traumatized Runan. Even if you kill it, it won’t go away. Rather, it could be more sinister. In this case, you have to stand up on your own. and… .’
Raon tapped the floor with his finger.
‘I can kill him too.’
Runan is the first person to take care of him in his past and present life.
Since you’ve been of great help, I can do enough to kill Syria.
– You’re really crazy. He can’t win even with 100 of you. He’s already reached the peak.
Lars frowned, telling him not to bullshit.
‘It’s definitely strong.’
– What nonsense are you knowing that?
‘But that doesn’t mean the knife doesn’t go into the neck.’
Raon pounded the scabbard and radiated cool energy.
“There is not one way to kill a person.”
