Syarunee-sama.

　My brother Hurt is running up to me, making cute footsteps with his totote-tete, and I can't help but notice that he's trying his best to get to me.

　It's so cute to see him finding me and trying his best to get to me.

　This year Halt turned three years old and I turned nine.


Hey, girl!

　Hurt reaches me and hugs me around the waist with vigor.

'Halt, good morning,'
Good morning!
(Shaluye-sama, it smells so good!)

　Hurt presses his face against my clothes and grizzles me. Hurt is also very cute like that.

　Heehee.
　Hurt likes me a lot.

　I have to ask the maid to use the detergent that washed today's clothes in the future!

Halt, you're having breakfast now?
That's right!
Me too. Come to the cafeteria with me.
Yes, sir.

　Hurt replied, and took the hand I offered him. So far, so good.

'Tee-na-'

　Until Halt called the woman.

Yes, Master Halt.

　The maid called by Hurt - Tina, the half-elf Tina, came up to me and Hurt's side and took Hurt's proffered hand.

　I was on Hurt's right side and linked my hand with Hurt's right hand, and Tina stood on Hurt's left side and linked her hand with his left hand.

'Good morning. Charles-sama.
Good morning.

　I don't like the maid.
　Because...

Heh.
(Teena's hands are smooth.)

　Hurt seems to be more happy with Tina than holding hands with me. That's frustrating. I don't know what to say to that.

　Is this what you call jealousy?

　I don't know about you, but I hate Tina a little bit. Every time I see Hurt getting along with Tina, my mind is kind of bothered.


'What's wrong, Shalusi-sama?
Oh, no. It's nothing.

　I was just thinking about something, and Hurt had me worried.

"Let's go eat breakfast!
Yes, sir.

　I headed to the dining room with Harte and Tina.

　After eating my meal, I rested a bit and began my magical training. I've been accepted into the Ifrus Magic Academy next year.

　I've been training in magic since I was five years old, so no matter how many talented students are gathered from all over the world, I'm not sure I'll fail.

　In the first place, it's not about whether I can keep up with the classes or not, I have to be the best wizard in the school.

　It's to protect Hurt.

　I'm sure that if the Demon King reigns in this world, otherworldly people will be reincarnated in Hult's body and he won't be Hult anymore.

　I have to defeat the Demon King so that he doesn't take Halt's body to some other worldly person!

　Two more years until the day when the otherworldly people might come. I still haven't heard about the appearance of the Demon King, but I'll do what I can do now, with all my might.


Sharunee-sama, keep up the good work!

　Lately, when I'm training with magic, Hurt has been very supportive. So it's very motivating.

　That's great, but I've got something else on my mind. About Hurt, Tina started to show up at my training as well.

'Master Hult. You're in danger. You need to step back.

　There's no way I'd use magic to get Hurt involved in this!

　I was a little annoyed, but then Hurt smiled and waved at me, which calmed me down.


　The day Halt was born, Tina came to our house out of the blue and became Halt's personal maid. Your father gave his approval, so I couldn't do anything about it.

　She is a very good maid and she is perfectly capable of taking care of Hurt.

　I have no problem with her taking care of me, but...


Teena. I want to use my magic.

When you are five years old, Halt-sama can train in magic too. Let's do our best to be able to use various kinds of magic like Charles-sama at that time.

'Yes!　I'm looking forward to it.

　I can't help but be curious about Hurt and Tina, who seem to be on good terms with each other.

　She's Hurt's personal maid, but in addition to taking care of Hurt, she also does the housekeeping of the Countess Silverlei's family with an amazing quality.

　I can't complain about her work both as a maid and as Hurt's caretaker.

　That's why I'm even more bothered by it.

　If I enroll in the magic academy, will Hurt miss me?

　I don't like it when you think you're going to be OK because of Tina.


　Oh, God....

　My biggest worry these days is that Halt will become even closer to Tina after I enroll in the Magic Academy.
