12 – How to punish your sister
The fighting continued after that.
The imperial knight Zerna showed herself to be enduring well by blocking or deflecting the rocks fired by Regid.
But… … As time passed, it gradually began to show its limits.
Regid grabbed the rock that Zerna had bounced back from the air with telekinesis.
After that, it wanders round and round around her, aiming for an opening and shooting again and again.
Caan-. cooong.
“Oh… !”
By the time the people who had increased by one or two reached seven large rocks, Zerna was a mess covered in sweat and dirt.
It is difficult for anyone to continue fighting any longer.
However, Zerna could not admit that she, as an imperial knight, would lose to a weak man.
She gritted her teeth and straightened her sword to the end.
Regid urged her to surrender.
“How about giving up soon?”
“… It is still.”
Zerna bit her lip and grabbed the sword.
“That’s right.”
Regid nodded lightly with a cold voice on his expressionless face.
It was a completely different atmosphere from his usual.
As their fight continued, the atmosphere gradually changed as if Regid had ‘remembered’ something.
Irene, the crown princess, involuntarily stiffened her body when she saw her younger brother for the first time.
The atmosphere of a strange and rough man emanated from him, whom he always thought of as a cute younger brother.
Since that incident 300 years ago… .
It was an intense self-assertion as a male that other men had lost before they knew it.
“ah… .”
Irene shuddered slightly at the force of Regid attacking her.
Even in the midst of that, Regid’s final attack finally began.
Seven rocks attacked the imperial knight Zerna from all sides.
Zerna gritted her teeth and blew mana into her sword with difficulty.
However, anyone can guess that the future is pessimistic.
‘… … .’
Seeing that, Irene bit her lip.
Considering the honor of a knight, it was forbidden to intervene in a duel.
However, it is absolutely undesirable for a knight to be injured as a result of a quarrel between brother and sister.
Today’s quarrel spread among the imperial palace and nobles and could have a bad political effect.
In the end, Irene had to stretch out her hand.
“stop!!”
At the same time, her psionic energy moved.
A golden psionic barrier appeared to surround Zerna.
thud! thud! thump-!
Irene frowned slightly at Regid’s power striking her psionic barrier.
“… What is this?”
The younger brother looked back at her with cold eyes.
It’s also a look I’ve never seen before.
Not looking at the sister he loves, but looking down at ‘something’ that deserves to be under him.
creepy… .
Deep inside Irene’s heart, waves of unknown emotion swayed and then disappeared.
Irene made up her mind and said to Regid.
“… stop it Hasn’t the match already been decided?”
“Looks like she hasn’t given up yet.”
Regid pointed at Zerna with his chin.
Irene stared at Zerna with a cold gaze.
Seeing those eyes, Zerna bit her lip and bowed her head.
Finally, she declared in a low voice.
“I-I… lost… .”
The rocks blocked by Irene’s psionic barrier all fell to the ground.
thump thump thump… .
Silence fell for a moment.
A quiet astonishment spread among those who had watched the two fight until now.
Even though he was from the imperial family, it was an astonishing scene in which a ‘weak man’ lightly subdued an imperial knight.
“Oh, this can’t be… .”
“I can’t believe you’ve reached that level before you know it… .”
“Could it be that you’ve been hiding your skills all this time?”
“no. In the first place, Prince Regid was only at the villa.”
“You’re the kind of person who doesn’t like revealing yourself.”
The imperial knights on the princess’s side whispered quietly to each other.
“sister.”
Regid looked back at his sister Irene and said as if declaring.
“Now, don’t interfere with the escort driver’s business again. Do you understand?”
“Ah, okay… … .”
Irene answered with a stutter at that stare, which somehow shrank.
* * *
I arranged the rocks I had pulled out for sparring in one place and roughly arranged them by sweeping them around with telekinesis.
Now that I’ve defeated Zerna in a good way, I’m not going to make a lot of noise about this.
But it’s not all over yet.
‘I have important things left.’
They must have agreed on the appointment of an escort knight, but now they are trying to break it.
If you did something wrong, of course you should be punished.
“sister. Now is the time to be punished for breaking promises.”
“what… ?! Now wait… !”
I wrapped my sister Irene’s waist as she tried to run away and pulled me into my arms and faced her.
A familiar and soft member embraced me.
I put a lot of strength into my hand wrapped around my sister’s back and fixed it so that she couldn’t move.
“Now, wait a minute, Regid.”
“Keep your head up.”
With weight in his voice, he commanded the sister in his arms.
“oh… Ahh… .”
Last time, we agreed to appoint Peria’s escort knight with the ＜Sister-and-Brother Style Duel – Snowball Fight＞.
Now it’s time to use that derivative to punish.
＜The Sibling Punishment Act – Snow Torture＞.
You must have felt awkward when you were still making eye contact with someone close to you.
The longer the time our eyes meet, the more the awkward pain that twists my whole body comes over me.
But if the other person who makes eye contact for a long time… … If it’s your family, especially your siblings… ?
That awkward pain would literally be the pain of hell.
This ＜Brother and Sister Punishment Act – Snow Torture＞ was a punishment that was conceived from such pain.
A penalty that inflicts heartache that comes from extreme awkwardness.
Of course, with this penalty, the caster will suffer the same damage… For some reason, I was immune to that pain.
‘Is it awkward to just make eye contact and stay still?’
But it seems that this sister is different.
We faced each other face to face at a distance where our noses could touch.
“Now, wait… Regid… !”
“Sister, raise your head and don’t look away.”
“Oh… .”
He warned in a low, growling voice.
Sister Irene, who was held in my arms, stiffened her body, raised her head and looked up at me.
If you do something wrong, you should be punished, so you should try to avoid it.
“Ahh… Re… Regid… .”
＜The Brother and Sister Punishment Act – Snow Torture＞ began.
We met each other’s eyes at a close distance, as if we could breathe.
It gives unending mental pain without moving in that state.
‘I’ll have to punish him in this state for at least 10 minutes.’
My sister’s eyes shook slightly.
It hadn’t even started in earnest yet, but the power slowly began to drain from my sister’s body.
“… … .”
It was when he silently stared into his sister’s eyes from a close distance and had passed like that for about 5 minutes.
“flaw… oops… .”
Squeak.
I could feel the strength gradually loosening in Irene’s legs in my arms.
‘It’s a sign that the pain of the heart is being transferred to the body.’
back.
I applied strength to my sister’s arms wrapped around her waist and pulled her tight to support her so she wouldn’t fall to the floor.
I slowly began to feel the heat from my sister.
‘Because of the pain in my burning heart, my body is running a fever.’
Everyone must have experienced it.
When the mind is sick and the body is sick, the heat naturally rises and it is painful.
It can be said to be a very natural phenomenon.
My sister’s two eyes, looking up at me from close up, began to water slightly. Is it that painful?
I spent about 10 minutes with the two people’s eyes fixed on it.
“Sigh… Sigh… .”
Perhaps because of the pain, my sister was exhaling in small sighs.
Along with the faint smell of sweat, the familiar sister’s sweet body tickles my nostrils.
I’d be very sorry if I did more here.
“Have you regretted it now?”
“eww… Yes… bar, reflection… did… I did… Kyaa… .”
The pain of the heart caused by extreme awkwardness.
Sister Irene couldn’t bear the pain, so she yielded to me again and begged me for wrongdoing.
‘I should have done well from the beginning.’
I clicked my tongue and shook my head inwardly.
This ‘brother and sister style’ I write… ’ All related skills and games were learned from my older sister when I was young.
According to the policy of the imperial family, princes and princesses are raised in strict isolation until they reach the age of ten.
This is to prepare for the case that the young imperial family, who are still vulnerable, lose their heirs at once due to illness or other reasons.
That’s why even this Regid had almost no chance to meet Irene before I became possessed.
Coincidentally, the age at which those restrictions were lifted coincidentally coincided with the time I possessed it.
Originally, I was an orphan in the world as well.
In addition to that, I was unfamiliar with the culture and customs of this world, so I was ignorant of how to interact with my family and siblings in this world.
Sister Irene, who had met me in such a state, had given me the grace of lovingly guiding each and every thing about ‘bond between brother and sister’ from the beginning.
‘When we were young, we had fun playing with each other through ＜Brother and Sister Sik Series＞.’
However, as time passed, at some point, my skills began to improve.
Cheongchuleoram Cheongeoram 靑出於藍 靑於藍.
In the end, he had to surpass his sister, his teacher.
From then on, older sister Irene began to strangely avoid the ＜Brother and Sister Ceremony Series＞.
But should that be?
It’s not the right gamer attitude to have fun when you win and run away because you’re at a disadvantage.
‘Of course I couldn’t forgive him.’
At that time, my sister received the punishment I deserved.
anyway… .
In the last episode, because I didn’t have the peace of mind, I plan to do the ＜Brother and Sister Ceremony Series＞, which I couldn’t do with my younger sister, Equinne, in this episode.
I had to pass on the brotherly love that my older sister thoroughly taught me as a child to my younger sister Ekinne ‘just as it is’.
‘Only then, as a family and older brother, can I say that I have fulfilled my role properly.’
Since my sister also hopes for harmony between the three of us, she must be looking forward to it from the bottom of her heart.
As he recovers his relationship with his younger sister Ekinne, he believes that one day he will have an opportunity to demonstrate various techniques, such as ＜Brother-style Meal Method＞ or ＜Brother-Sister Style Sleep Method＞.
‘Ekinne, wait a bit patiently until this brother approaches.’
