13 12. Wake up




 ~~~~? side~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~.
 I'm back from scouting for a transition spell. Tsk! It's annoying to think that I'll have to report that result to the old f*ckers.
 
 I knock on the door with that in mind.

"Excuse me.

'Oh! You're back! So what happened!

I'm sorry to inform you that this plan has failed.

'What? You assured me that your methods would work, and since the last great march was over, you sent a secret agent to make preparations to let the kingdom know about it, and you failed so easily! You've got to be kidding me!

 Keh! I'm the main one who prepared it! When I suggested it, you got hooked, and when I failed, you flipped out.

"That's enough!

'Ha! Emperor, how will you punish this one?

It will be decided later. Wait for further word.

Ha!

 And with that, I left the room. Bastards. Things were going well until the middle of the day. Then that little prick screwed things up. What the hell was he doing? A technique that could wipe out dozens of orcs and orc generals with a single blow. That level of skill at that age. In order to obtain that territory from now on, the priority is to get rid of that guy. I just hope it doesn't get in the way of that gentleman.

 Thinking that, I disappeared into the darkness.
 
 Hmmm, I feel heavy. Is it because I woke up in my sleep? But I can't move my body. Are you in gold bondage! When I woke up with such thoughts, I found the reason why I couldn't move my body in front of me.

'Mniu~ Onii-Shama~'

"Reishama~I love you~

 What are you dreaming of? I was tempted to ask, because Phelia and Krona were above me, sleeping with a very good look on their faces.

 And on the left, by the bed.

"Ummm. Ray~

 And Aeris was talking in her sleep. And holding my hand. What can I say, I usually have a sword in my hand, so I have a sword bump, but it still has a girl's softness to it. When I squeezed it back, I felt Aeris' face turned into a happy face. I couldn't help but be thrilled by her expression and softness.

'No! Aeris is a blood sister and brother, albeit a half-blood brother. Don't look at her with such evil eyes!
 Suddenly, the angel in me came out with that statement.

 There.
"Don't you dare bring your preexistence ethics into this world! You've done the research and you know that, right? That this world can marry your blood family too! And then there's me, the devil.

 Yes, this world is not often recommended, but even families can get married. The reason for this is the status of the family. Families that don't want their status to be known to strangers marry into the opposite s*x's family.

 As the demon and angel inside me were battling it out, I heard a knock on the door.

''Rei-sama, please excuse me.''

 Chloe came in as she said this.

'Master Ray! You've noticed!

 Hey! If you say that out loud, people will.

'Huh, brother? Brother! You're finally awake!

Hmm. Hmm? Ah! It's Master Ray! It finally happened!

 Phelia jumped in as she said this. Krona too, after a delay.

''I have no choice today, so I'm going to share half of it with Krona too! Brother~!

Master Ray! Hit me on the head! I've been holding back for a long time!

"Wait a minute, Chloe. How long have I been sleeping?

'It's been about two days. The doctors said she fainted due to an extreme lack of magical power, so everyone wasn't too worried. If anything, Aeris-sama's injuries were worse than mine. Ah! Don't worry, I've used my recovery magic to heal you properly.

 That was good. I asked Chloe what happened when I was passed out, patting Phelia and Krona on the head.

'The bell that ended the grand march rang out just as Ray-sama was being carried back to the mansion by Eileen-sama. This time the grand march ended earlier than any other in history. Even with that, Master Zeke said he had something he wanted to talk to you about, so I'm going to call you now, is that alright?

Yeah, it's okay. It's okay. Filia, Krona, I'm sorry. I'm going to have an important talk with your father now, so can you and Chloe play outside with me?

'What! Don't you dare! I was hoping my brother would finally pay attention to me.

Ugh, Rayshama.

 Hey! Don't look at me with those teary eyes! I feel terribly guilty.

'Let's go into town and do some shopping next time! Forgive me for making time to play with you two!

'Absolutely, sir! It's an absolute absolute!

'Nice to meet you! Master Ray!

 It's good to see you're feeling better, but you're changing too much.

 So as soon as the three of them left, Zeke, Ellis and Eileen walked in.

'You're up, Ray.

Yes, sir. Thank you for your concern.

'As a lord, I'd say that I'd say that I'm grateful for protecting my people, but as a father, don't push it, you fool! Part of me wants to say, and well done! That's my boy! And I'd like to praise him for that, so it's 50-50.

 Zeke laughs bitterly as he says this.

'God! If you're a father, you need to be disciplined when you discipline someone! Ray, you can't be reckless like that anymore! If my magic power had been depleted any longer, it would have been life or death!

 I knew it was a bad idea to grant the last attack magic.

''Ha, I'll be more careful from now on.

 When I said that, Ellis glared at me. 'I can't guarantee it, so it's no use.

''Well, that's fine. The crisis in the territory is over.''

'That's true, but if we don't get these things right, we'll do it all over again!

'Sure, because I was mad at Aeris for hearing this story too. I understand that feeling, but Ray is still sick. That's enough for today.

 Oh! That's what I'm talking about! You know what I'm talking about!

'Well, tomorrow's training will be twice as much as it has been so far. Let me have a look. It's called "Superimposed Magic".

 Whoa! He's just having fun with it! He's got a hell of a nice smile! We're being set up!

That's true. Well, Ray. Tomorrow we'll talk more about this march. You should get some rest today. And let Aeris sleep it off, too. I've been taking care of Ray all day.

 I see. I'll thank you for that.

"Get some rest. Good night, little Ray.

Good night, mother.

Are you looking forward to tomorrow, Ray?

Yes. Yes, sir.

Get some rest.

Yes, Father.

 After everyone left, I looked at my status. Then I was surprised to see that a lot of things had changed.
