I Became the Wrong Race

163 – Cleaning Up (5)

Persuasion was a very difficult task.

Part of it was that my speaking skills were poor, but another big thing was that everyone rejected Rie Hejedia for their own reasons.

Just as it is very difficult to open the mind of someone who has cut off communication with the outside world, persuading people who have already reached a conclusion is laborious and has a low success rate.

Even if you fail to persuade once, you may not get a second chance.

I carefully waited for the opportunity.

I gather my thoughts, until Lie Hejedia leaves and Huey takes up my lap.

I wondered what I should say while looking at people’s opinions.

Was it because the silence was long enough? Melody made a groaning sound.

“You don’t have to go that far. “Sometimes, Llewelyn looks like a child too.”

What does this mean?

“Even if that’s not the case, I have no intention of opposing it. There must be bad rumors about Lee Hegedia personally… “I have the skills to overcome that.”

Well, I knew that best because I saw her life

She lost both her parents in the flood, and all she had left was her own body and all her supplies and manpower.

Normally, if you do this, you will either fail or drown while embracing the glory.

Surprisingly, she succeeded in making a comeback.

Beyond reviving her sword, she herself created swordsmanship that could stand up to nature, and even made her sword the best sword in the empire.

It only took 10 years to get there. It was a feat that was not something a 15-year-old child could accomplish.

I could only acknowledge her abilities

“You could say he has a great sense of perspective.”

I was reluctant because it felt like I was putting gold on her face, but it was true.

[Reputation: New Star]

I could tell just by looking at him that he decided to follow me, a newly rising star with reputation window authentication and not a star like the emperor.

Should we also say that it is the target person’s perspective? It was very wise.

Moreover, he is as humble as I am, so even though it is an opportunity to appeal, he does not step forward.

Even if you haven’t seen Lie Hejedia’s her life her her her, her her recruitment her her her was something worth considering

And my older sister, who is born with the same bloodline as me and possesses the greatest intelligence, would know this well.

I turned off her magical eyes and looked at my older sister, who was thinking for a while with her arms crossed.

“Esha.”

“Yes, I will get better.”

“If you do something stupid, I’ll kill you. Watch.”

“Good.”

Oh, this isn’t it.

I looked at my sister in confusion, but she remained steadfast.

“It’s a minimum safety measure. Sejin is nice, so you understand, right?”

I think this is separate from being nice.

But she didn’t say it out loud. It was because I had a long history of having a hard time rejecting my older sister’s opinions

I don’t think there is any possibility of betrayal, but there is no harm in being careful.

When did things always go as I expected? I nodded quietly, and only then did my sister relax her expression.

“It has nothing to do with the situation, so I’ve been holding on to it until now.”

When my sister and I made eye contact like that, someone said.

A timid temperament that can be seen at first glance in a deep voice. He was a mourner.

As soon as he could open his mouth, he came over to hug Huey, who was patting him, and spoke.

“What is your relationship with Lord Huguk?”

“It was something I was curious about too. “I don’t remember having that instinct when I was making it, but don’t you think of each other as brother and sister?”

Eyes focused on relatedness. My sister and I were embarrassed in that situation.

Oh, come to think of it, haven’t we ever explained this properly? And.

Sure enough, even Isla, who had been resting her chin on Lorian’s thigh, spoke.

“That’s right. But I didn’t want to ask, so I was waiting.”

Did they say that a good hunter knows how to wait? Isla had her blue-gray eyes fixed on me.

“But… She never told me that she had a younger sister. But as soon as she met Llewelyn, she said she was her sister, and she was a little embarrassed because she actually thought of him that way.”

Even Melody spoke while holding Estoc as a cane and turned to face me.

The dark eyelids behind her closed eyes her trembled slightly.

“Of course the names have to be similar… Didn’t you decide the name yourself? “I don’t think Ortemilia decided it.”

“Hmm, that’s right. “I don’t remember deciding what to do.”

It’s true. The name Lucilla was originally used by my older sister in a game, and Llewelyn, which has now become my new name, was taken from something I saw in a movie one day and from a character named by my older sister.

I just hope that my sister will do something when she hears my name

I never thought it would come back like this. I broke into a cold sweat and looked at my sister.

My older sister also looked quite embarrassed. Even the golden time for explanation was passing quickly.

I gathered my wits and looked at people’s faces.

Lorian is staring at me.

Isla and Ortemilia seem to be observing me and my older sister.

Even though I can’t see, I can see Melody tightly holding the bag of Estoque with nervousness. Even Eshaterna is just watching the clouds pass by without thinking about anything else.

Everyone was observing my sister and me with different reactions.

What should I do? I looked at my sister’s complexion while thinking.

My sister was thinking.

It was not as if he was simply contemplating whether to reveal the truth or not.

Rather, it feels like I am touching a deeper truth. Before I knew it, I was looking at my sister with a hardened expression.

Suddenly something occurred to me.

What her heart said to her sister, betrayal.

And the older sister agreed to that.

And yet, they even blocked any room for conversation.

I instinctively realized that it was related to this moment. My sister’s eyes swept over me for a long time, and she let out a long sigh.

“I’ll tell you the truth?”

With everyone’s eyes focused on my sister, I knew that wasn’t something I was saying to people.

That was what they said to me.

My sister looked into my eyes, hesitated for a moment, and then said.

“We are brother and sister. They are also siblings.”

Normally, at times like this, Ortemilia would object, saying she didn’t make it that way, but there was something in her sister’s voice.

This unique, calm determination to reveal the long-hidden truth.

“Exactly… “Our souls came from another world.”

Before I knew it, my sister was sitting in her seat. As she looked toward the sky as if reminiscing, the sky beyond the glass-covered ceiling was flowing from her eyes.

*

I didn’t think it would be revealed so suddenly.

My sister’s explanation continued with enough time and leeway.

It was the story of a brother and sister who lived on Earth, and it was also the story of two homunculi who are now immortals and protectors.

Although it was the story of Yoon Se-jin and Yoon Se-ah, it was actually heard as the story of Lucilla and Llewelyn to the listeners.

He deserved it too. Considering the proportion of the actual story, the main story was not about the unfortunate orphan siblings Yoon Se-jin and Yoon Se-ah, but about the reunion of a brother and sister who ended up in Netel.

If you talk about ‘Earth’ too much, it will only be confusing. I could understand it too.

What was really important was not my previous life. The only thing that mattered in our lives before was that we were originally brother and sister.

Furthermore, there was no mention of this world being a game or anything like that.

Around that time, I was able to notice one thing: my sister might not have a status window.

I have a status window, so I vaguely think this might be a game, but…

If there wasn’t.

Then it was clear that I thought this was separate from the world in the game.

I still don’t know if this status window is a miracle given by some being.

There was no time to get lost in thoughts.

My sister’s story has already reached the core amidst people’s silence.

“This being called Netel, this is not my first encounter.”

The crowd quietly noticed what he said while tucking a strand of hair behind his ear.

Me too. I waited for my sister to have enough time to continue speaking, and even my dog, Huey, was quiet and didn’t whine because he was worried about people’s attention.

It was that kind of atmosphere.

“Actually, we met for the first time. No, I’m not sure if I can say I’ve encountered this. “I was so confused at the time.”

It was said with a smile, but no one was smiling.

“He said he would make my wish come true… I accepted it. “I just didn’t know it would turn out like this.”

The contents were not mentioned. But I vaguely felt like I knew what my sister ‘wished for.’

And it seemed it wasn’t just me. I caught a glimpse of Melody and saw her standing there with a stern expression on her face.

It was definitely strange. To those who know the truth, it will feel like a traitor that cannot be overlooked.

Melody also seemed to find it perplexing and strange that her biological siblings, especially her older sister, had one-sided lust and affection for her younger brother.

Her lips were pursed and trembling slightly, and she played with the hilt of her sword with a slight frown on her face.

At first glance, I also felt that way.

“So I opened my eyes and it was here. “If I had known it would end up like this, I would have woken you up so I could go with you.”

My sister’s eyes are on me. Someone who wasn’t as quick-witted as Mourner seemed to think it was some kind of brotherly and sisterly friendship, love, or sense of responsibility.

I knew that wasn’t the case. It was a regret of not being able to monopolize it.

It’s not that there was no guilt at all, but the main emotion was clearly a desire for exclusivity.

But on the other hand, I also thought that way.

If so.

If I fell into this world with my sister.

Then wouldn’t it be much better than now?

They say they don’t know what kind of relationship we would have had.

My mind was complicated. While I was silent, my sister closed her eyes and smiled.

“Still, I didn’t know what the price Netel would have been willing to accept at the time… I think I understand now.”

Lie Hejedia didn’t just leave

Before that, she revealed all the information she knew, including the fact that the emperor and I were siblings and that she was the first homunculus.

So, as if it was natural, my sister’s eyes stayed on me.

“Netel was planning to bring you too from the beginning.”

There is no logical reason. It’s definitely my older sister’s intuition.

But my sister’s intuition is pretty good. It’s always been like that, and there are probably a few facts that haven’t been revealed to me.

“And as a ‘reward’ for what you received from me… “They must have created an emperor.”

Time mixes.

The future I reached and the past where my older sister fell into Netel.

And an emperor was created even further in the past.

Events that should have come first were pushed to the back, and as if they had foreseen the future, Netel was targeting me.

This is what I heard my sister say.

Netel is a being that transcends time, or perhaps exists in all time zones simultaneously.

Perhaps because it was such a serious story, after the story ended, we each went back to our work.

And the next day, after seeing Liehejedia walking around her pantheon and inspecting her supplies, there was something that came to everyone’s mind.

Because he heard such a big story, he naturally missed the opportunity to refuse to join Lee Hejedia.

It ended naturally as a story just between me and my sister, and the opportunity to say something had passed.

I knew that it was my sister’s own consideration.

After all, it’s my sister.
