Chapter 14
In the middle of the shopping district.
“There are so many people, it’s annoying.”
I don’t hate people. I’m not some demon king who hates humans and wants to kill them all! I’m not that crazy.
I just don’t like crowded places. I don’t like the feeling of people brushing past me.
“So don’t let go of this cute disciple’s hand. Unless you want to get lost.”
“You’re treating me like a child now?”
“Honestly, you can’t even fold clothes properly, and your cleaning skills are terrible. So you’re a child.”
“You can’t say anything to the master who changed your diapers, damn it.”
After giving Iris a tap on the forehead, I looked around and saw several clothing stores.
I chose the most decent-looking one and went inside, where I saw a familiar figure.
“Werner… and the leader’s daughter.”
Camellia, who was looking at the gloves, came towards me.
Iris said she apologized for the rudeness she showed to Camellia, so there shouldn’t be any more problems.
“Oh, are you shopping here too, sister? I came to buy clothes for my disciple, who doesn’t have any.”
Then Iris squeezed my arm tighter. Damn, my blood isn’t circulating.
“… Didn’t you say it was a date?”
“Yes, it’s a date, a date.”
Then Camellia smiled faintly and patted our heads.
“It’s nice to see such a loving ‘master and disciple’ relationship.”
Iris’s expression suddenly became serious, and she said in a guarded voice,
“But aun… I mean, aren’t you leaving?”
She was about to call her an aunt, but stopped. That much was certain. But it was a highly skilled technique to make it ambiguous by correcting her words.
Thanks to her experience, Camellia didn’t even blink at such a provocation.
“The leader and the other colleagues asked me to do it.”
“My father and… the other uncles and aunts?”
Why does she call the others uncles and aunts, but not Camellia?
“Yes, they asked me to protect the youngest, Werner.”
“Oh, you’re strong, so wouldn’t it be better to help my father with his work?”
Iris is a very filial daughter. She wants to send the person who will protect me to her father’s side to help him. She’s so filial that she deserves a filial piety statue.
“By the way, sister, as Iris said, wouldn’t it be better to help the brothers and sisters…”
“And they told me to tell you this, Werner.”
“What…?”
Camellia delivered a message from Werner’s colleagues, or rather, the brothers and sisters who took care of Werner when he was young.
[Little brother… I was too weak to stop the public opinion of overprotecting you. Even my daughter is a handful… Please don’t get hurt.]
[Little brother, if you get hurt by being mischievous, you’ll really get hurt by my hand. Listen to Camellia’s words before I come and break your back in half.]
[Little brother, I want to tear your limbs apart and put you in the rear, but I’m holding back.]
[Little brother, do you remember the night before your engagement with my daughter… Do you remember? If you don’t want to be held accountable, listen to Camellia’s words.]
The rest of the content was similar. They wanted to monitor your safety here, but since you don’t like it, they’re holding off for now.
Instead, they sent Camellia as your safety agent, so listen to her. Otherwise, they’ll come and tear your limbs apart, break your back in half, and feed you to the wild dogs.
Wow, the title of this novel is ‘My Brothers and Sisters are Obsessed with Me.’ The tag would be yandere. I don’t need this kind of obsession, damn it.
Being treated like a child at the age of 29 is also quite fresh.
“But don’t worry too much, Werner, as the other colleagues said, I don’t plan to be by your side 24 hours a day.”
That was a relief. If I was monitored 24 hours a day for safety, I would definitely go crazy.
Camellia was indeed a sensible person.
“That’s good to hear, sister. By the way, have you found a place to live?”
“Your house.”
“What?”
Damn, I never put my house up for sale at a real estate agency. This is my house, why are you moving in? Is my house being NTR’d?
I turned to Iris.
“Disciple, did you gamble away my house? If it’s not in your name, don’t put it up as collateral… or win it back.”
“Master, don’t say such strange things.”
“Then why is she suddenly saying she’s going to live in our house?”
First, I need to clarify the situation. The most important thing is to stay calm and rational.
“I never sold my house. So there’s only one possibility, my house was used as a gambling stake. But I don’t gamble… so the remaining possibility is…”
Iris pinched my wrist with an angry expression.
“Ouch, that hurts!”
“Master, don’t get excited, let’s hear what she has to say… I was surprised too.”
So I turned back to Camellia.
“It’s exactly as you said. I saw that your house has quite a few empty rooms.”
There are quite a few empty rooms, but only my room and Iris’s room have proper beds. That’s why I let Camellia stay in my room last time.
“It’s a house that I bought and renovated from a bankrupt inn… But I can’t just let anyone in.”
I said firmly. Just because there are empty rooms doesn’t mean you can just move in.
That’s why Werner’s brothers and sisters were a nuisance to him. They weren’t even related by blood.
“I’ll pay the rent every month. The other colleagues also said they would send you an allowance every month for financial support.”
“I’ll make sure to have a bed ready by tonight, so you can move in tomorrow.”
It’s all because of the brothers and sisters.
Blood is thicker than water, but gold-melted water is thicker than blood.
Where are the brothers and sisters who love the youngest like this?
“Iris.”
“Yes, Master!”
“I’m going to buy some furniture for the bed and the room.”
“But what about my clothes?”
“Honestly, I’m a man, so I’m not good with women’s clothes. Camellia sister would know better.”
“… Okay.”
Iris seemed a bit sulky.
I think I need to use my secret weapon. My pocket money will be abundant for a while, so spending money shouldn’t be a problem.
.

At the furniture store, I bought some decent quality items and had them delivered to my house.
When I came out, it was late afternoon.
Iris seemed quite upset, so I needed to buy her a gift. If I only bought a gift for Iris, Camellia might get upset, so I also prepared a gift for her.
I also wanted to buy a gift for my angry fiancée, Glacies, to calm her down.
As I was looking around the jewelry store, I saw a good-looking stall.
“Hey, lady, how much are these ribbons?”
The three ribbons I was eyeing were:
One with a bird-shaped decoration in the center, a golden ribbon.
One with a flower-shaped decoration in the center, a blue ribbon.
One with a snowflake-shaped decoration in the center.
The middle-aged lady laughed and patted my shoulder.
“Oh, you’re such a sweet talker, young man. I’ll sell you three for the price of one.”
“Thank you so much.”
After paying a satisfying price, my steps were light on the way back.
.
.
.
While I was preparing dinner, Iris was glaring at me with puffed-up cheeks.
“Master, you’re such a fool.”
“If I’m a fool, you’re on the same level as a frog.”
Then Iris came up to me and poked my side hard.
My side hurt, and my expression automatically turned sour.
“Ouch, that hurts…”
“I’m the one who made the appointment today… and you’re decorating the room for that lady… and only buying a gift for her…”
Iris seemed very upset. Honestly, this was also part of my plan.
“Is my disciple upset?”
“… You’re spending all day with that lady and not even buying me a gift…”
When her upsetness reached its peak,
I took out the golden ribbon with a bird-shaped decoration from my pocket.
“I was going to give this to you after dinner, but I’m afraid you’ll be so scared that you won’t be able to eat.”
“This is…”
“You like birds, right? And when I saw the golden color, it reminded me of your eyes, so I bought it.”
“Master…”
“To be honest, the one I gave to sister Camellia was just a set, so I bought it together. And I gave it to her before we parted ways. Don’t tell her, or I’ll die.”
“Yes, Master!”
Iris smiled brightly and pinned the ribbon to her chest.
To be honest, I did buy the blue ribbon with a flower-shaped decoration for Camellia, but I secretly put a note in her pocket.
The note said:
[Sister, I bought this for our disciple because I was afraid she would be upset. It suits you because your name is a flower, and the blue color reminds me of your eyes.]
[I bought this for our disciple, but there’s no special meaning. If I tell her, she’ll get upset, so keep it a secret.]
Honestly, I was a little worried if this would work, but seeing Iris so happy, it would also work for Camellia.
People usually like it when they are given something special just for them.
Now I have to send the last one to my fiancée, Glacies.
