The Engagement Was Broken Off and I Became a Munchkin

Episode 12 Entrance Ceremony

* * *

A few days have passed since the entrance exam.

The Legion side delivered the cadet certificate along with the acceptance notice.

To my surprise, the person who brought the document was Isabella, the president of the academy.

“I can’t believe Master is staying at such a shabby inn. Knowing this would change the world.”

“Should the Archmage just deliver letters?”

“Ahahahaha! But since I’m delivering letters to the master, isn’t it something worth doing?”

“If so.”

Isabella suggested something to me.

No, she was a favor rather than an offer.

“Yoo Jin-ah. Doesn’t she have nowhere to stay until she enters school? I have a villa that I don’t use. Do you want to stay there?”

To be honest, there was quite a bit of time left until the entrance ceremony, so I was thinking about going home.

But thanks to Isabella’s courtesy, I didn’t have to.

“Thank you.”

“What? Isn’t it natural to give prizes to good children?”

What… Aside from his often intrusive word choices, he’s not a bad person.

Looking at what you’ve done so far, you’ve been very kind to me.

Anyway, thanks to that, I ended up staying at the villa that Isabella provided until the entrance ceremony.

It is literally a villa used by nobles with a garden and a separate servant.

It wasn’t too far from Legion.

She immediately wrote home.

It’s not that there isn’t a communication port, but my family, Taranhilt, is located at the western end, so the cost is quite high.

If you don’t have money, Master or whatever, you should save it.

I heard that ultra-long-distance communication would soon become commonplace, but even then, I thought I would write letters often. There’s a lot of luck in this.

The contents were not special.

I asked how my parents were doing, informed them of the recent situation that they had passed the academy, and informed them of where they were staying.

Then, a few days later, a guest came to the mansion where I was staying.

“Brother. I missed you so much!”

“Huh! Yes man! Were you living in a place like this?”

“What is the habit of talking to Yuris oppa?”

“Is this a joke? You’re always straight with me.”

Yulia and Julis.

Yulia handed me something.

“Brother. This one.”

Heavy pockets.

I opened it slightly to check.

Challang—-.

I heard a considerable amount of gold coins.

“It was given to me by the Marquis of Entalia.”

This is my mother.

To Yulia, he was a man without a drop of blood.

I don’t think I’ll be getting pocket money in the future, so let’s be thankful for it last.

For reference, the empire has been issuing currency recently, but it has not been universalized, and gold coins have their own value wherever they go.

“He also asked me to tell him that he was sorry that he couldn’t come in person.”

I fully understood that he was probably busy because his father, who was busy with construction, was away from the estate.

“The head of household is busy with the recent problems.”

Yulia notices me, but she seems to think I’ll be disappointed.

But it’s rather good.

If my father had come because he was a bit nagging, he would have been tired.

Now I am at an age where I can be physically independent.

“I just wanted you to come.”

“I know. Let it be known with honor!”

“Habit of talking to Yuris oppa! Didn’t you promise me something?”

“… Know it with honor Brother.”

Juris asked what happened with Yulia.

I haven’t been able to make eye contact since a while ago, but it seems that puberty has come late.

“Uris? I won’t let you into the house.”

“Ah… why. Brother? You’re doing such a nasty thing to such a cute little sister?”

Um. Is not it.

From the time Yuris was born she was an adolescent.

Anyway, I took her younger siblings and went into her mansion.

“Wow~ That’s great! Starting today, this is my room!”

The immature Yuris was making a fuss about how big her mansion was.

I shook my head inwardly.

“Older brother. Are you eating well? Now that she’s going to the academy, you’ll have to take better care of her health. I can take care of it only when we are together, but I am concerned because we will be apart for a while.”

Why am I so different from Yulia, who thinks about my health first?

They’re even identical twins.

To say it was because of the environment we lived in, the environment was similar.

As expected, people seem to have something called nature.

But.

“My older brother?”

“Should I call you my brother? But after hearing it today, I think the expression brother is more friendly.”

“Do whatever you feel comfortable with.”

Because either way, the meaning is the same.

Allocating rooms to her younger siblings and giving them time to wash up, it’s time for dinner.

We sat face to face at the table set by the servants in the mansion.

Yulia, who was cutting meat with her graceful movements, suddenly said.

“Older brother. Can my sister stay here for a while?”

“Huh? Well, it doesn’t matter. But why?”

Juris answered my question.

“What are we going to do to the capital? It was so that I could go see the capital and play while my brother entered school, until the entrance ceremony.”

That’s an understandable reason.

The Taranhilt family’s territory was not small, but compared to the system, it could be called a village.

“By the way, how did you pass the exam? Isn’t Legion supposed to have basic combat abilities?”

Juris still doesn’t know my transformation.

She said it’s been less than a month since I became a master.

Of course, I intend to clarify.

“I think I will pass as the top rank.”

“A. You’re lying~ This time, the 3rd princess also entered the school, but that’s not a big deal.”

“You don’t believe me?”

Unfortunately, the academy’s admission grades are not disclosed in principle.

Only before the entrance ceremony.

When it’s revealed, they say it’s because of unnecessary scouting or safety issues.

“How can you believe that… “

“Unlike anyone else, Yulia believes in her older brother!”

“Hey… ! It’s not that I don’t believe… Still, Her Highness the Princess entered the school, but the senior was a bit… Isn’t that what you’re talking about?”

Julia cuts off Julis and interjects.

Juris was talking gibberish there.

The two of them are arguing, but it’s quite cute to see kids who look alike are doing it.

The only difference is that Yulia’s eyes are more docile and Julis has a mole under her eye.

“Uris. How is that different from saying you don’t believe it?”

“That… “

Juris is strong against most people, but weak against Yulia.

There are often times when I wonder if she has caught something like a weakness.

Anyway.

It would be quicker to show the fact that I was the top performer than to say it a hundred times.

On the day of the entrance ceremony, there is a procedure for the senior to go up to the podium and receive a certificate or something, and at that time, even if you want to know, you will not be able to know.

I was so happy that I could become a proud older brother to my younger siblings.

Master or something, all I want is small happiness.

It is because of this that I have been working hard for the past 20 years since I was reincarnated.

Is it to the extent of getting married to a small, pretty wife, managing the estate, and living in poverty?

If a little bit of greed is added to that… Bigamy is legal in this world.

In other words, even a harem is not a dream.

What… Whether her wife would accept it was another matter.

While I was thinking about that, my eyes met with Julis.

“Hey. Did you have a sneaky thought?”

Her eyes narrowed slightly.

Yulia immediately defended me, but

“Yuris! Why are you so anxious to eat your brother? Is Eugene the kind of person who would have insidious thoughts?”

“…… “

I couldn’t answer anything.

* * *

It’s already been a few days since the younger siblings came up from the island.

I’ve been quite used to the new space, so I’ve spent my daily life.

My morning routine, as always, started with holding a sword and swinging it.

Even though he became a master who is called the pinnacle of nothing, that hasn’t changed.

The Gajo of Taranhilt, who raised me for 20 years, was like that.

A knight is something that always maintains its spirit, like a sharpened sword.

I also agreed.

Except for the training time, I spent it leisurely.

Looking around the garden in the mansion or having a meal with my younger sisters.

Occasionally, I went outside to see the islands.

Occasionally, Isabella would come to her mansion to ask how she was doing.

By the way, I introduced Isabella to her younger siblings as just an aunt she became close to after coming up to the island, but Yulia was worried about it.

One day he invited me to the garden to say something.

“Older brother… Isn’t she having an unwholesome encounter with that woman…? ? I thought it was presumptuous interfering, but I was so worried that I couldn’t help but ask.”

“It’s not at all, so don’t worry. Actually, this oppa was the senior? Then the academy borrowed it. Something happens for a reason.”

It was a point of view that I hadn’t thought about, but from my younger sister’s point of view, it would seem that way.

Since then, I have felt the watchful eye on me, but I let it go.

Now that you’ve watched me and Isabella meet and talk briefly, you’ll realize it’s not a strange relationship.

Anyway. I’m glad the misunderstanding was resolved.
