Gusu.... my... my... my... my... you... idiot!

　I run without paying attention to my surroundings. I found myself returning to the Lanwalker Frontier Domain. When did I use the transition magic circle?　He must have been so upset that he couldn't remember such a thing.

'Ah, Phelia-sama. Welcome back. You are back early, aren't you? How did our conversation go?

　As I walk down the hallway of the house, Mirmi seems to notice me from the garden and comes running towards me. Dry and Mr. Gummin follow behind him, as usual. It seems that they were training in the garden.

'Good job, Mirmi. You and your brother need to talk........''

You don't have to hook up with that guy. I'll protect you.　I'm gonna pass this guy in a heartbeat.

Huh.

Ha, ha, ha, I think that's a bit harsh on you, Dry?

　Dry says something that doesn't make sense and Mirmi lets out a sigh of dismay. Gumin-kun is kind and tells Dry in a roundabout way that he can't do it, but the stupid Dry won't get it.

'Gumin!　Don't give up on me before you do. I'm a man who does things when I have to. I'm going to win over Filia's brother, Filia, and I'm going to marry you!

I don't think so.

　Oops, me and Mirmi are of one mind. I ignore Dry who says a lot of things after that and I think.

　I love my brother. This feeling has never wavered until now.

　You have always been a kind brother. I've always loved my brother who would gently pat me on the head and tell me that it doesn't matter what I did.

　He has always been a strong brother. He was always ready to help us in times of need. It was the same in the war. He was there to help me and Krona when we were in danger.

　I'm proud of my brother, who is kind, strong, and cool. I've always liked him, and I've always loved him.

　I know he was a bit slutty with women, but I remember my father telling me that it was just the nature of men to be slutty. Your mother was angry with him afterwards, though.

　Your brother's other wives are good people, too. They were all kind and beautiful and strong, and even though they all married my brother, I didn't get jealous. On the contrary, there were times when I even wanted to be one of them.

　........Oh, does that mean I like this?　Not as a family, but as one man. ...I'm still not sure about that. But it doesn't change the fact that I want to be with my brother.

　If I tell my brother about this feeling, will he approve of it?　

　I hated it when I heard about the engagement from someone else, but your mother half-jokingly asked me what it would be like with Ray.　I didn't think of that when you asked me if I was your brother. I knew this was.....

　Gahhhh, gahhhh, gahhhh.

These bells it looks like they're back.

　Mirmi says when she hears the sound of bells ringing in the territory. The sound of these bells is the sound that rings when the demons flood the demon land.

　It's really common these days. From what I heard from your mother, it's not as much as the Great March, but even so, hundreds of demons seem to overflow from the Demon Land.

''This is our chance to be strong!　Come on, let's go!

Oh, wait for dry!　d*mn that idiot!　What can I do, Lady Phelia?

It's no use. Let's go after that horse ... dry. Right now, your father has gone to another territory and Dorothea-san is following him, and your mother is gone. Master Tigris is back in King's Landing, and the only people here are your mother and brother Marco. Maybe we can help with that.

Okay. Let's go.

　We hurry to the outer wall. The outer wall of the Demon Land's side is crowded with soldiers. We walked through it as well.

'Why can't I?　I'm sure it will be useful, hey!

You're a fool, Dry. You're Lady Phelia's bodyguard!　How can someone like that come to the front lines!

Well, that's what I'm doing...

　No dry words followed from there. Because the soldier fist-boned me. Dry held his head in too much pain and squatted down. I gave him a thumbs up in my mind.

　He doesn't show it, but he approaches the soldier.

''I'm sorry. My horse the guards are bothering you.

'Lady Phelia!　No, that's not a good thing. Because this fool is bad. More importantly, Phelia-sama, please take refuge in the mansion. This place is going to be a battlefield from now on!

Yes. Yes, I know. I just came to see if there's anything I can do to help with that.

　Right now, Fasi hasn't said that he's going to look at the seal or anything, so I can't ask for the Spirit King's help, but if I do what Merlin-san, Dorothea-san, and Fasi have learned, I should be able to help.

''Well let's ask Lady Eileen about it.

　Then we followed the soldiers up the outer wall. There were people running around on the top of the outer wall from below, and in the center of it all, Aileen's mother was giving instructions.

'Mother Eileen!'

'Phelia?　What the hell are you doing here?　Quickly take refuge in the compound!

No, I'm helping as a member of the Lanwalker family!

　I said with a serious look on my face, and Aileen's mother gave me permission to do so, though she said not at all.

'All right,' she said, 'but if you're in danger, you have to run away immediately. But if you're in danger, you have to run right away, okay?　Mirmi and the others are Phelia's bodyguard. Keep them safe. Here they come!

　Eileen's mother draws her sword and grants magic. We also look towards the demon earth, and from the demon earth, is that....a goblin?　It's all green, but there are different colors mixed in here and there. The soldier tells me there are about 500 of them in total.

　And from the air...

"Magicians, aim for the wyvern.

　The wyverns flew in as instructed by Eileen's mother. There are about 50 wyverns in total. Moreover, there are different colors mixed in with them, just like the goblins.

　The wyvern is said to be a pseudo-dragon, and belongs to the lower class of dragons. The main techniques it can do are biting and scratching, tail attacks and fire breaths.

　If that's all it can manage, the wyvern will naturally fly. On top of that, since it's a dragon species, it seems to have magic resistance, which makes it quite a threat to normal people. It's many times better than the previous Empire's senior dragons, though.

　First of all, that wyvern will reach the territory first. Everyone launches their magic under the command of Eirene's mother, but they are still very quick and nimble. It's not easy to hit them.

"Hmmmlaa!

　Wow! Big Brother Marco is knocking Wyvern's head off balance momentarily. The wyvern falls to the ground, but shakes its head a few times and then takes off again.

　I don't just watch, I release my magic.

'Pour down meteorite (meteo).

　I activate a combination of fire magic and earth magic. The moment I activate it, a rock about a meter in size appears in the air. The rock is boiling with gooey fire around it. The rock will rain down towards the wyvern. About 20 in all. That's my limit now.

'Ggaaaa!'

　The unavoidable wyvern is punctured by a meteorite that pierces some part of its body and falls to the ground. You only hit a few bodies now. Even the ones of the wrong color were flapped off with their tails.

　On top of that, the wyverns seemed to think I was a threat.
　They fly at me. And then they spit out breaths all at once. They aren't dragon-like, line-like breaths, they're fireballs, but they're threatening enough.

''Mage troops, brace your defenses!　Long-range troops, target the approaching wyvern!　Close quarters, goblins!

　Mother Eileen cut off the wyvern as she gave one instruction after another. It would have been fine if these were one or two, but dozens of them.

　One wyvern is a B-grade, and that's this many. If this is the way it is without your father and Dorothea-san... no, you can't be weak!　I release the meteorite again.

　Each time, the wyvern diminishes in number. And, by the way, the goblins. But it doesn't just hit the different colored wyverns among them. All of them are either avoided or flattened by their tails.

'Ggaaaaah!'

　It finally hit one of them and fell, but the place it fell was on the outer wall. The wyvern is about 5 meters in size from head to tail. It's big enough to get on the wall. There.

Good!　I'll stop him, I'll stab him in the back!

　Dora the idiot started running towards the different colored wyvern. Mirmi and Mr. Gummin tried to stop him by shouting at him, but Dry would not stop. And ...

Ooh!

　He slams his sword into the Wyvern's head. But even though he is weak, a wyvern is a wyvern. Even though it's a lower level dragon, it's still a dragon. There is no way such an ordinary sword could pass, and Dry's sword broke halfway through.

　The Wyvern won't stay silent either and glares at Dry who attacked him. Well, this is bad!　I rush to activate the spell, but I'm not in time.

　The wyvern opens its mouth wide to dry and...

Close your mouth, lizard.

　A ray of lightning fell from the sky. If you look closely, it looks like a spear. The spear of lightning fell from the sky and stabbed the wyvern's upper and lower jaws as it stitched them together. And in the next moment, his head was cut off.

　It happened so fast. Dry is stunned and butt-headed, and he doesn't respond when Mirmi or Mr. Gummin speaks to him.

　And on top of the cut off wyvern's head, which had been cut off.

"The Grom Arms.

　There was an older brother who was clad in lightning standing there. The moment he activated his magic, various lightning weapons danced around him and shot out at the wyvern.

　The wyverns are unable to avoid the approaching lightning weapons, which leave behind a single trail of blue-violet lightning, and they are pierced through their bodies.

　Ah ... this back view. It's always cool to look at. This is a reassuring sight to see.

"Are you okay, Phelia?

　Pfft, my head is gently stroked. When I looked up, my mother was there.

Mother. Yes, it's okay.

　After that, all I could do was watch. The other soldiers also focused on rescuing the injured, and Eileen's mother muttered, "I'm not going to be able to deal with them anymore," as she directed the others. In the next ten minutes or so, the demons were wiped out.

　After everything was over, my brother also canceled his magic, so I was going to go to him, but he made a scary face and went to a certain direction.

　Where my brother proceeded.

Master Ray.

　Mirmi and the others were there.

'Mirmi-chan, would you step back there?'

Yes.

　Mirmi shifted to the side honestly. Behind Mirmi was Dry. Dry is still looking down, his face slumped. Your brother grabs him by the collar and punches him away.

You're not going to need a bodyguard that puts the target of your protection in danger. You can quit.

　Dry was beaten away by his brother and drove away. He must have seen him going towards the wyvern somewhere. That's why you're angry.

　Mirmi and her friends chase after Drye as he runs off. Let's leave Dry to Mirmi and the others.

''Brother,''

Phelia. Are you hurt?

　My brother smiles and pats my head as he says that. Wafu~, my brother's nudging feels so good.

"Thanks to my brother, I'm fine. More importantly, what I was talking about earlier.

Yeah, about that...

Can you wait until I graduate from the school?

　Your brother looks surprised at my words. I continue on.

I like my brother, but I'm not sure if I like him as a family member or as a man. But I'm not sure if I like him as a family member or as a man. But I want to stay with my brother forever. I want to be by your side the whole time. So, can you wait until my feelings are clear?

"...that's Phelia's answer, isn't it?

'Yes!　But that doesn't change the fact that I love your brother!

　I can say it clearly now. To all the other fiancées. I love your brother!
