I Became the Younger Brother of the Female Protagonist in the Novel

“Did you know that is the third time? Besides, it’s already almost 11 o’clock… … . Sister, are you trying to make me starve for breakfast?”

“Okay… … .”

If it’s 11 a.m., aren’t you already hungry?

It’s almost time to eat lunch.

I wriggled as I buried my face in the pillow, and then slowly raised my upper body.

“… … I’m tired.”

I must have fallen asleep around 4:00 in the morning. So, that’s about 7 hours of sleep.

Even so, my body was heavy, and I felt like my shoulders were stiff.

I nodded my head back and forth while staring straight ahead with wide eyes.

Then, my sister grabbed my hand and dragged me to the bathroom, then washed my face with her own hands.

I tried to help her take a shower in the morning, but… … .

“Oh, no, I’ll take a shower.”

I was able to regain my sanity thanks to washing my face, and I vehemently declined her help.

“Are you ashamed?”

Seeing her smiling face gave me goosebumps.

Well, as a result, I was able to finish the shower by myself. Then, I went down to the first floor with my sister and had breakfast and lunch.

“I will go back to the main building today. Maybe the day after tomorrow I can visit again.”

“all right.”

Oh, come to think of it, is it your sister’s birthday soon?

On March 12, a small party will be held at the main building to celebrate Sophia’s birthday.

Of course, I won’t be able to attend, but at least I’d better prepare a present.

I only found out my sister’s birthday last year.

I had to give a mediocre gift, but… … .

‘I want to give you something quite rare and useful this time… … .’

After my sister returned to the main building, Mirva approached me.

“young master.”

“huh? what’s the matter?”

“Are you thinking about the lady’s birthday present?”

At Mirva’s question, I smiled awkwardly and scratched the back of my head.

“Ahahahaha… … . how did you know?”

“Because if there’s a problem you worry about like that, it’s always related to Lady Sophia. So, what are you preparing for… … .”

“I am still thinking. I can’t attend the main building’s party and congratulate her, but at least I want to give her a present that she will like… … .”

When I blurted out the end of my words, Mirva smiled warmly.

“If it’s a present from the Bocchan, he’ll like anything. If you have any errands to do, call me anytime.”

“Yeah, thank you.”

I returned to my bedroom and checked the Gold Shop.

It would be cheaper to buy something from the Gold Shop than from the auction house.

“Skill books have no effect on you, so… … . Rather, did Wiria’s holy water work for others?”

Like the best potion, Uria’s holy water is made like a potion.

Although it was red, it was a very effective item to increase the amount of mana.

“Wouldn’t it be all right if I gave you 50 gifts?”

After a while, I shook my head.

“I’d rather have a magic tool that protects my body… … .”

After much thought, I moved my fingers and spent 55,000 GP.

Expensive gifts worth 550 gold coins.

Among them, Uria’s holy water is something that should not be known to anyone other than Sophia. Potions that increase mana do not exist in this world.

A potion that is nothing short of a miracle.

Even people who have not been blessed with mana will be able to hold mana in their bodies if they drink this potion.

“Will 10 of Uria’s Holy Water and Hasperon’s Iris be enough?”

Hasperon’s pupils, which are treated as special (S) class, are made in the form of rings.

3 times a day, it is a magic tool that allows you to use the 4th circle’s defense magic, Berrier.

The barrier is maintained for 1 minute each time it is deployed, so it will be very useful in battle.

“I think it would be good to prepare a magic tool for attack… … . Wouldn’t it be better to give me a magic sword enchanted with attribute magic?”

But I can’t refund what I’ve already bought… … .

“I will have that as a gift for next year. After all, I will be entering the academy next year.”

Scratching my head, I carefully put the holy water of Wiria in a small box and put it in the subspace pouch along with Hasperon’s pupil.

What kind of expression will the sister who will receive this gift look like?

I giggled and laid down on the bed to take a nap.

And when I woke up, it was around 4:00 PM.

I checked the letter from the Rose family and started writing a reply to Elizabeth.

“Hmm… … .”

As I wrote the letter, I let out a small groan.

“Do I really have to marry Elizabeth?”

The future decided by parents. Moreover, from the news of the Rose family, it seems that they accepted me because of financial problems.

They probably couldn’t help it because they desperately needed the help of the Spey One family. But what do they really think of me, who is called the incompetent of the Spey One family?

I rested my chin for a moment and let out a small sigh.

“Honestly, it’s embarrassing, but if you go to Daryl’s son-in-law, you have to take responsibility and duty as a noble.”

Wouldn’t it be better to live as a wealthy commoner?

As commoners who do not have sovereignty, they will not be able to use their strength against the nobles, but if I lead a large-scale business, the nobles in the countryside will surely succumb to my economic power.

But, on the contrary, Deril son-in-law. In other words, if Elizabeth inherits the title, I will have various responsibilities and obligations as well.

Of course, as a royal family, it would be possible to live a leisurely life in many ways.

“Come to think of it… … Did this world allow polygamy and polygamy for nobles?”

The head of the aristocratic faction and head of the Duke of Crantes, Ruries G Crantes is a woman.

I closed my eyes for a moment as I recalled the story of Duke Crantes having three husbands.

First of all, since I have to keep an eye on the Speywon family, Elizabeth will formally make me the Rose family’s true husband.

But how long will such a profit-and-loss relationship last? As a result, the dark period will come by having concubines.

“Whoa… … . First of all, I need to think about it a little more now.”

I mean, I’m only 10 years old.

In addition, Ardennes Sanghoe is now just standing at the starting point.

Arden Sanghoe started operating a restaurant and inn in the city of Karvan. He bought a few buildings on a street frequented by mercenaries and now runs a total of 27 restaurants and inns.

“As expected, this would be the best for poor mercenaries.”

A ryokan where you can enjoy lodging and meals at a low cost.

It was a small bedroom with only cheap food, but it became a very popular place for poor mercenaries.

So much so that he even became a regular customer.

However, just in case, five members of the organization were put on standby as security guards, and those who caused a disturbance were immediately kicked out of the building.

“Well, let’s be content with this level for now.”

Arden’s monthly sales were 780 silver coins. It is an amount of 78 million won in Korean currency.

The problem is that it is sales, not net income.

Excluding food materials and labor costs, the net profit would be calculated at around 280 silver coins. No, considering the cost of purchasing the building, there would be no profit left.

“I hired all the technicians and workers, and bought about three buildings that were used as factories… … . I will probably be able to work properly from next year.”

And a village several kilometers away from Karvan.

It’s a little far away, but I wrote a contract to receive food materials from the rich farmers living in the village.

In addition, after purchasing some farmland from the Speywon family, they supported the poor to engage in agriculture, and Arden began to accelerate the cultivation of commodity crops and livestock raising.

“We have to make a base quickly.”

I couldn’t be satisfied with a small business.

The monthly sales of SpayOne Corporation are hundreds of thousands of gold coins. No, even millions of coins will be passed lightly.

The Spey One family made a name for themselves in various industries.

As much as that, it was estimated that the basement of the main building of the Spey One family was piled high with astronomical wealth.

“It’s not for nothing that the story that the wealth of the Spaywon family amounts to tens of millions of gold coins came out.”

Is gold ore so common in this world?

However, there were rumors that without the currency of platinum, the ore of gold would probably have become even more rare.

It was because of the Spey One family.

And since the Spey One family knows that, it must be that they are expanding the scale of the company by releasing a large amount of gold and platinum coins.

So that money can circulate on the continent.

“Whoa… … . I don’t know.”

I thought about the Spey One Company and let out a small sigh as if something had gotten tangled up for a while.

As the scale was so large, the work of the Spey Ones was really complicated.

I finished writing a letter to Elizabeth and handed it over to Mirva to send.

“Since I finished the homework given by Miss Sharon, wrote the letter, and checked all the reports about the company… … . What do you do now?”

When I finished all my non-work tasks, I sat on the sofa on the terrace and spent a meaningless time.

A quiet break to do nothing really.

I could hear the voices of the maids from time to time, but I closed my eyes, leaned back on the sofa, and fell into a daze.

* * *

The General Office located on the top floor of the Ardennes Headquarters.

A young man opened the door to the office and went inside.

rattle.

“Sir, there seems to be another commotion at the inn in District 13.”

Albert tilted his head as he looked at the young employee of Arden Trading Company who was reporting.

The riots in inns and restaurants are an almost weekly occurrence. That’s why I deliberately put in a security guard.

“Didn’t the guards subdue it?”

“The one who caused the commotion… … .”

Albert slightly frowned at the report that followed.

“All in all, those guys… … .”

The criminal organization that ruled the slums of Districts 1-7, Skull.

It is a criminal organization closely related to the Spey One family.

There were so many talented people, and with the support of the Spey One family, they expanded their power.

In addition, they had an intelligence organization that operated externally, and for that reason, even criminals in the slums were reluctant to get involved with them.

“… … It’s a pain in the ass.”

“As long as the Spey One family is behind the scenes, a collision with them… … .”

“Yes, we have to avoid it somehow.”

Albert, too, had no other choice.

Skull and Celtrocell are on a different level. If you touch it wrongly, the Spey One family may unleash a private soldier to attack Arden. By mentioning a crime that doesn’t even exist.

Episode 20

20. Karvan’s Criminal Organization (2)

“I’ll have to report this to the Bocchan. What about those who said they made a fuss?”

“I am back now. Even the guards couldn’t touch them… … .”

“damn.”

Albert clicked his tongue as he ran his fingers through his beard.

Fortunately, the fuss was roughly over, but the damaged furniture had to be purchased new.

And did the customers hear rumors that the inn was taken by the Skull?

Avoiding the Ardennes Inn had a big impact on sales.

around 11pm.

Kaynes, who visited Arden, frowned at Albert’s report.

“… … There were only three customers today.”

“How to fix it?”

“There is only negotiation. If the Spey One family moves due to the conflict with them… … .”

“Do you think the Spey One family will move because of just one criminal organization?”

“Because there is already a precedent… … .”

In response to Albert’s reply, Kayneth let out a small sigh as if he was in trouble.

“Whoa, then I guess we should at least sign a non-aggression pact with them.”

“but… … .”

The difference between Skull and Ardennes was too great, starting from the size of the organization.

Skull, a large-scale criminal organization with more than 1,000 members.

The scope of their activities was stipulated to be Districts 1-7, but it was safe to say that they were actually managing all of Karvan’s darkness.

“I have to show myself that ‘If Ardenn puts his mind to it, your base can be annihilated in an instant.’”

“But then… … .”

“We have to show directly that we are willing to die. First, make an appointment with the guys. Also, make sure you have an escape route just in case.”

“… … All right.”

The Arden Trader is a small trader that has just settled down in Karvan.

If you leave Karvan like this, all the foundations you have prepared will be useless.
