As it turns out, I failed.

　I couldn't prevent an otherworldly person from reincarnating in Hurt's body.


　─ ─ ─ ********-.

　Since the Demon King reigned in this world, I thought that an otherworldly person who would become a brave person would come to defeat it - I always thought so.

　Even when Harut reached his fifth birthday, my brother hadn't changed at all. So I was a bit relieved.

　I hadn't even heard of the Demon King appearing somewhere in the first place. This is without a doubt because when your father took me to the royal capital, I secretly listened to the minds of the king and his ministers and confirmed the situation in other countries.

　I thought it's because the demon king couldn't appear for some reason that otherworldly people didn't reincarnate as heroes in our world.

　But two days after Halt's birthday...


Oh. Oh, good morning........Sister Charu (hey).

　I had come back to the mansion after taking a break from my classes at the magic academy to celebrate Hurt's birthday. And since I was planning to return to the academy today, I came to say goodbye to you.......

　The greeting was too awkward.
　Hurt's mood was different from yesterday.

　I had a bad feeling and tried to read Hurt's mind.


　.........Oh, that?
　Why?

　I couldn't hear the voice of Hurt's mind anymore.

　I can hear the sound of my heart, if only a little. It's as if a cover was put on Hurt's mind somehow, I can't hear it as a voice well.

　It can't be helped........I'll do that thing.

　It's rare for people to be able to resist my mind-reading skills. Tina, who became Halt's personal maid, is one of them.

　Well, she is said to be a hero who, about a hundred years ago, cooperated with a brave man from another world and defeated the Demon King, so it's no surprise.

　But I had the means to read even the voice of such a hero's heart.

　That is──.


Halt. Morning.

　I hugged Hurt and put my hand around his neck and directly touched his skin.

　The direct contact with the object - this is my strongest mind-reading technique, which can even hear the voice of a hero's heart.

　Normally it's the ability to hear the mind of someone nearby, but when you're in direct contact with someone, you can hear that person's mind alone.

　And it doesn't matter if that target has taken measures to prevent their thoughts from being read by any powerful magic tool or spell.

　When your father introduced Tina to our family a long time ago, he let slip in his mind about her level, although he didn't say it out loud.

　Tina's level is 250, and she's said to be a magic swordsman. I think she's the strongest in this world now that there are no brave men.

　And Tina is an elf race with a strong resistance to mental attacks.

　She is an elf race and the strongest existence in the world. Even such a voice of Tina-Haribel's mind could be heard if her body was touched by me, but since I used my skills with all my might, I could even hear Hurt's voice.


''Whoa. Sha, Charu Sis (hey)?!
(Oh, sister........isn't the skinship, intense?!)

　The voice in my heart wasn't Hurt's.
　It's because Hurt has never called me 'big sister'.


　........It's really like an otherworldly person has entered Hurt's body.

　My eyes darkened in front of me.

　My sweet Halt. My brother, who was making a very beautiful heart sound, and my brother who was making a very beautiful heart sound...


　They're gone.

　What am I going to do?
　How do I get Hurt back?


..........

Oh, um ... what's going on?
(Why won't they leave us?　But it smells so good, I'd like to keep it that way for a bit longer :)

　I haven't changed the type of detergent I use to wash my clothes since Hurt told me a long time ago that he likes the smell of my clothes.

　At the Countess of Silverlei's house, all the family members have their clothes washed separately by the maids with different detergent.

　Sometimes that's to prevent them from taking the wrong clothes. By the way, it's quite normal among the nobles of the count's class.

Hey, Hurt.

Yes, sir.

Do you like the way my clothes smell?

I love it!
(I don't think I've ever smelled much in the original world, but why... I kind of like the smell of it.)

　He himself doesn't seem to understand it, but his preferences don't seem to have changed with Hurt.

　Although the first person of the voice in my mind has changed to 'I', I am convinced that there is a Halt in Halt's body.

　Your father also said that 'Halt and the souls of people from the other world are mixed together, so it's not like he will completely stop being Halt' - he said.

　That's why Halt is properly here.

　I was a little relieved to know that, but there was one more thing that I had to confirm.

It's not a good idea to go back to the magic academy at noon. So for the first time in a long time.......do you want to take a bath with me?

　What I wanted to make sure was that the otherworldly person who was reincarnated in Hurt's body wasn't a dirty old man.

　Even though my cute little brother's soul is here, if the one mixed with it is an old man.......I don't like it.

　If that was the case, I might try to eliminate the soul of the old man from Hurt at all costs.

　So I tried Hurt.

''Oh, are you taking a bath?!''
(No, I'm five years old now....but that's not good as expected. I remember taking a bath with my sister, but...)

　Hurt is embarrassed.
　The voice in his mind was quite impatient.

　It's something that looks like it's a newfound (ubiquitous) feeling.

　I thought it must be so, since it was mixed with Halt's soul, but is the otherworldly person who reincarnated also a rather young person?

　I'm a little relieved.

　I'm glad he didn't answer immediately that he wanted to take a bath with me.

'Hmmm. I was just kidding.

...already. Don't make fun of me.
(Your sister's too cute, me, I can't say no to a strong invitation, can I?)

　He's not as good as the original Hurt, but his heart is so beautiful and resonates well.
　I could tell that he was a good guy who was reincarnated.

　Also, I think it's a plus point that he called me pretty.


　─ ─ And here's where it hit me.

'Halt, do you have a minute?'

What is it?

When Halt is older...

　Hurt is Hurt, but he's not entirely my brother Hurt anymore.

　And I love Hurt.

　That's why...


''You have to marry me!

　An otherworldly person reincarnated and we're no longer perfect sister and brother.
　There would be no problem if we got married in the future, right?
