NOVEL NEXT I Was Reincarnated as a Villainous Noble But I’ll Be Executed as a Traitor if I Do Good Deeds Chapter 41
41: My Sister’s Feelings
Camila headed to Astral Academy immediately. Mary came to my room suddenly, with a smile. She looked a bit lonely, somehow.
“Hey, brother. Can you hug me?”
Mary looked at me with very serious eyes. Something must have happened. Should I hug her right away or listen to her story first? Either way, I have no objection to hugging her. If it’s what Mary wants, I’ll grant it.
“What’s wrong? You’re being sudden.”
“Sister is going to the academy, and we’ll be apart next year.”
Ah, I see. Camila leaving is indeed lonely. Next year, I’ll be able to meet Camila, but I’ll be separated from Mary. Thinking about it, it’s crucial to do various things now.
“That’s true. I think it’s lonely too. There will be times when we can’t meet, Mary.”
“You’re thinking the same thing, brother! Mary is happy!”
I hugged Mary, who showed a bright face. She hugged me back strongly, and I felt her body warmth. Mary has a lot of burdens in her small body. So, I need to pamper her thoroughly.
It’s because we’re from the Black family, after all. Even Camila is a bit warped. My brother Oliver tried to kill our family, and our father James has no parental love. Thinking about it, we’re in a pretty bad environment. That’s why I need to protect Mary’s heart.
After hugging for a while, Mary let go and smiled, looking satisfied.
“I’m glad you’re happy. Mary is my precious little sister, after all.”
“You’re also a precious brother to me, Mary!”
“Thanks. So, is there anything you want to ask me? I’ll listen to anything.”
Mary responded to my proposal without hesitation.
“Then, can you infuse your magic into my tools? I want to feel your presence at all times.”
From this request, I can see that she’s very attached to me. So, I can’t treat her carelessly. If I become Mary’s enemy, who will stop her from going down the path of evil? It’s clear that she’ll fall into darkness.
Thinking about it, I need to grant her wish no matter what. For Mary’s sake, and for the future.
“I don’t want to be enemies with Mary. I don’t want to kill her. I feel that much affection. If something happens to her, I won’t be able to bear it. So, I need to teach her the warmth of humans from now on. I need to teach her that killing is not normal.”
“I understand. It’s not a big deal.”
“Then, can you start with my current clothes?”
“Leave it to me. Let’s go.”
I quickly touched Mary’s clothes and infused my magic. Like when I made a staff, I want to be of some use to my sister. My magic will protect her.
“Brother’s magic feels warm… Hey, brother. Can you infuse magic into my other clothes too?”
I had planned to do so from the start. For Mary, I’m probably the only close person she has. So, if she can feel my presence at all times, her heart will heal. It may sound arrogant, but it’s probably the truth.
“Of course. It’s not a big deal, and my magic won’t run out.”
“Oh, brother is amazing, isn’t he? If Mary did the same thing, she’d be totally exhausted.”
Well, Mary is still young, after all. In the original story, she was a pretty strong enemy character. At that point, her talent was guaranteed. Still, I mustn’t let my guard down. Even I might lose to her. So, I want her to become as strong as possible. If anything happens to me, I want her to be able to survive.
“Mary is praising me, and it makes me happy.”
“Brother, can Mary become as strong as you?”
Mary will definitely become strong. I think so. Camila has also become very strong. I have considerable talent too. We share the same blood, after all. Even excluding the original story, there are plenty of elements that can make her strong.
Of course, if Mary forgets to make an effort, it won’t happen. But I’m sure she’ll be fine. My little sister is a good kid, after all.
“Yeah, I’m sure she will. I’ll help her too.”
“If brother helps, I’m sure it’ll be okay!”
Her innocent trust makes me want to respond. Well, it’s also convenient for my goals. If I can lead Mary down the same path as me, she’ll become a powerful ally. At least, I don’t want to make her fight right now.
“Shall we go to Mary’s room? If we infuse magic into her clothes, it’ll be fine.”
“Can I ask for a little more? Please infuse magic into other things like dishes and the bed too.”
“Alright. It’s for cute Mary, so it’s no big deal.”
“Thank you, brother! Mary loves brother so much!”
“I love Mary too.”
With that, we head to Mary’s room. She’s pulling my hand with energy, so I’m sure she’s in a good mood. Thinking that I’m making her happy makes me happy too. And from now on, I’ll make her even happier. Thinking that, my mood improves.
“Now, let’s infuse magic….Okay, it’s done.”
I spread magic throughout the room, infusing it into various objects. Mary immediately breaks into a smile.
“Wow, I can feel brother’s presence all over the room! It’s so amazing!”
It’s terrifying to think about it, but if I imagine the scene where I’m surrounded by photos of myself, it’s a bit scary. But for Mary, it’s impossible.
“I’m glad you’re happy. I’ll go back to my room now.”
“Thank you, brother! Please take care of me from now on too?”
“Of course. You’re my precious little sister, after all.”
With that, I return to my room and rethink my strategy for the future.
“Mary is very attached to me. So, I want to keep guiding her on the right path. In the future, I don’t want her to become evil.”
Creating a new relationship is important, but it’s meaningless if our current relationship is ruined. It’s a critical time. Increasing allies is crucial, but it’s obvious that I should prioritize the people who are already on my side.
“That’s why I should spend more time with Mary. I’ll make sure to create time for her. I want Mary and me to have a good future.”
I don’t want Mary to fall into evil. That’s my sincere wish. I want to be friends with her and, if possible, stay together forever. She’s my cute little sister, after all.
That’s why I need to work harder to make Mary happy and teach her the goodness of kind deeds.
“If possible, I want Mary to become friends with the people from the school-like place. Well, I shouldn’t rush it. Let’s take it slow.”
First, I need to solidify the school-like place. If I fail, I’ll gain nothing. So, I’ll take it one step at a time. I’ll work hard towards the future.
