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

The traps and strategies conceived in his head were only those that could only be used by the lower ranks of the bandits.

“Hmm… … .”

Seruk.

Lying face down on the bed, I turned my head and looked at the window.

The sun has set and the night sky has become dark.

I let out a small sigh and immediately started preparing to go out.

But before that… … .

“Eutcha!”

I got into the futon and pretended to be asleep.

After a while, Mirva, the maid, secretly opened the bedroom door, saw me sleeping, and immediately closed the door.

“… … .”

The sound of Mirva’s footsteps gradually receded, and soon I couldn’t hear them, so I immediately took out the bag I had hidden under the bed.

The leather armor and staff were taken out of the battery.

I quickly escaped the annex, avoiding the gaze of the maids, and then exited the mansion through a dog hole.

‘… … The spirits might be watching me now.’

The water spirits that were one of Sophia’s intelligence networks.

I frowned at the thought that I might not be able to escape from her surveillance network, but I visited the mercenary guild and tore off a piece of request from the bulletin board and approached the reception desk.

“welcome.”

Despite the late hours, two receptionists were always on standby at the reception desk.

“Then, I wish you luck.”

A receptionist with formal remarks and a sales smile.

After slightly nodding my head, I immediately began to subdue the beast on the horse I had left in the stable.

Episode 6

6. The incompetent child of the Spey One family (6)

A plain area located 5 km from the city.

Kayneth spotted a group of kobolds and immediately lowered himself into the bush.

‘five… … . No, six?’

After checking the number and location of the enemies, Kaynes put his staff on the floor.

“Element Magic – Ground Wave.”

Koo Goo Goo!

After reciting the casting language, the mana drained from the body through the staff, and soon the ground rippled and took the kobold’s balance away.

“Kyaaagh?!”

“Kyaaagh!”

A group of kobolds fell to the floor.

Kayneth watched them with a lowered stance, and immediately cast the next spell.

“Element Magic – Ice Spear.”

A 3m long spear floating in the air.

A blue ice spear was fired at the kobold he was watching.

Wedge-Ae-Ae-!

The long spear that flew through the wind landed on the kobold’s chest before I knew it.

Fu-wook!

“Kyaa… … ?!”

Is it because of a colleague?

The unbalanced kobolds hurriedly tried to rise from their seats, but unfortunately, Kaynes had already prepared the next magic.

Smack!

“Kieek… … ?”

The kobolds immediately lowered their heads as the ground, which had been muddy a moment ago, became muddy.

and… … .

Pajijijijik!

“Kyaaagh!”

A large number of kobolds struggled as the electric shock spread from the ground, and soon collapsed on the ground, tanned.

Kayneth subdued seven kobolds in an instant.

The senior spirit, Endairon, who was watching the scene, touched his chin while bursting into exclamations of ‘Ohhh?’

-There are so many different ways to subjugate demons. To think that a 9-year-old human could use that much magic freely… … .

He immediately thought of Sophia.

A girl who made a contract with her mother and creator, Elaim. She, too, had heroic talent.

-… … Is it hereditary?

Brothers and sisters born on the same ship are all gifted with heroic talent.

Sophia excelled in swordsmanship and Kayneth excelled in magic.

Endairon observed Kayneth’s battles for hours, and could only applaud his fighting skills a few times.

-I know my level well.

Kayneth avoided collisions with monsters he considered more powerful than himself as much as possible and quickly responded to the crisis.

-… … Is there anything I can do?

Endairon scratching his head with a puzzled face.

Sophia attached Endairon to Keynes as an escort and surveillance. If it was a high-level spirit, it would be easy to subdue most monsters.

However, Keynes returned safely to the city without major problems.

* * *

As the day dawned, Sharon visited the second annex.

“… … I heard that Lady Sophia visited yesterday.”

I nodded once at her words as we sat across from each other in the guest room.

“What were we talking about… … Is it okay if I ask you a question?”

I answered with a smile with bright eyes.

Simple stories without the important details.

Asking you to call yourself older sister, giving you a present, your favorite hobbies and how you have been.

Sharon gave a small smile as if relieved by my story.

“I see. Lady Sophia… … .”

Seeing her genuinely relieved, I was slightly moved.

The first person in this world who worried about me.

After my appearance changed, I lost a little confidence in the appearance of the maids and Mirva, who changed their attitude, but in Sharon, I sensed the energy that I could feel from my mother.

After a moment of shock, I swallowed my saliva and immediately drank the water in one gulp.

“Whoa… … .”

Sharon stood up with a small smile at the sight of me holding the cup with both hands and pouring in the water.

Then he came to me and hugged me tightly.

“thank you for your effort. Now, Lady Sophia will also realize what a great younger sister Kayneth is.”

very… … I had no intention of making a deep acquaintance with Sophia right now.

The relationship between the main character and the supporting character. For a while, that should be enough.

That’s how I had a small talk with Sharon, and the next day, as promised, Sophia came to the second annex with a money bag.

‘fairly… … Does it look heavy?’

Sophia smiled at my slightly expectant appearance and shook the coin pouch once.

The gaze moves toward the pocket… … it must be unavoidable

“Pu-huh… … . Were you so desperate?”

“ah… … .”

She is the third daughter of the Spay One family. Could that heavy pocket contain silver coins or coins?

When she sneakily showed me the inside of the pouch, my eyes widened.

Dozens of shiny gold coins!

‘Ha, hundreds of millions of won worth of currency in Hanwha is in this pocket… … !’

I had to be fully prepared, swallowing my saliva.

Yes, now that I have a large sum of money in front of me, I am ready to kneel down or act cute.

Did I look strange like that?

Sophia tried to hide her laughter by putting her right hand to her mouth.

“First, shall we go inside?”

“of course. It’s shabby, but come in.”

After lowering my head, I hurriedly moved away and pointed at the front door of the annex with both hands.

Seeing that I was stained with capitalism, she stroked my hair once and then walked straight to the first room.

Was it because I visited it once? She refused Mirva’s guidance and immediately grabbed my right hand and entered the first room.

“Okay, then… … . What did my younger brother prepare to receive pocket money from his older sister?”

“… … .”

What preparations did you have to make? Rather, was Sophia this kind of personality?

In a slightly playful mood, I touched my chin while making a slightly embarrassed expression.

“Whoa, if there’s anything you want, I’ll get it right away. Of course, it is prepaid.”

“Hmm? Can you really prepare anything for me?”

I nodded my head while rolling my eyes at her question full of smiles.

“Sir, as long as you pay the advance… … .”

“Then, how about dragon hearts?”

what? Did you eat any strange food this morning? Requesting the heart of a dragon that never appeared in the original work?

I was momentarily dazed by Sophia’s absurd statement, and she burst into a small laugh at my expression.

“Pu-huh… … .”

Well, I already realized that she was making fun of me.

Unless you’re a child, anyone can easily understand.

but… … .

‘Should I sell the items sold at the Gold Shop to Sophia?’

Thinking of some kind of brokerage, I hesitated for a moment.

‘… … If I registered the gold shop’s items at the auction house, I could have gotten a bigger profit?!’

Of course, the skill book couldn’t have a big effect if you transferred it to someone else.

To others, it will simply be a book with more accurate details.

‘Currently, Sofia’s funds may not be very large. Then there’s no need to reveal everything to her.’

However, if the funds in Sophia’s right hand are given to me… … .

Yes, by registering the finest potions and powerful weapons and magic tools at the auction house run by the Spay One store, you will be able to win a huge amount of money.

The moment when my head is complicated with so many thoughts.

“I’m kidding. Come on, take it.”

It was Sophia who handed me the money bag while stroking my hair.

“thank you!”

I bent my back 90 degrees and handed the money bag.

“Come to think of it, did you leave the mansion yesterday too?”

Wasn’t the spirit spying on me?

I nodded my head coldly at Sophia’s question.

“Yes, I went out for a while at dawn and came back.”

“… … I see.”

Seeing her bitter smile, I tilted my head.

“what… … Do you have a job?”

“… … no, nothing Take more care of yourself than that.”

“Yes, take care of yourself too, sister.”

As soon as she handed over the money pouch, which was the business, Sofia left the second annex building and returned to the main building.

After seeing her off, I immediately went back to the bedroom and recharged my gold points.

“Hmm… … . First of all, I should visit the night auction house.”

After studying with the tutor, Sharon, as usual, I finished eating and bathing, and hurriedly left the mansion and moved to the auction house located near the slum.

In many ways, illegal commercial activities such as human trafficking and drugs were carried out at night auctions with poor quality, but only rare and high-value items were traded at other legitimate auctions.

“ladies and gentlemen! I hope you have a beautiful night today and this is the first product right away!”

The auction house I visited is a top-notch auction house run by the Spey One family.

A host dressed as a clown came up to the podium and began introducing the auction items to the customers.

The time when the atmosphere started to heat up.

After covering my whole body with a cloak, I thought for a while while checking the prices of the auction items.

‘… … Gems and ores trade higher on the auction house. Rather, a rare (R) class magic tool was sold at such a high price? They say that the best potion can be made at least once a year… … . It’s definitely expensive to be expensive.’

While making notes of the amount of the winning bid and the items of the product, I smiled while touching my chin.

This, if you do well, you might be able to reap more than 300% profit at once.

In particular, rare ores such as Mithril and Orichalcon were auctioned off at higher prices than expected.

‘If a large amount of goods are released on the market, the rarity will decrease and the market price will decrease… … .’

Rare ores such as Mithril and Orichalcon were not easily purchasable items in the Gold Shop anyway.

The 50 gold coins given to Sofia were exchanged for 5,000 GP, but unfortunately it was difficult to buy even 1 kg of Mithril with that amount.

“The next product… … !”
