“I never thought I’d find Nee-sama in a place like this.”
ㅤ
“Sister? This is my master, Tianne-sama. You have no relation to her.”
ㅤ
Chris speaks in a slightly sharp tone. While the beauty carries an intimidating presence, Thor remains unphased and continues to smile.
ㅤ
“No, it is Nee-sama. I could never mistake her. Why are you with Nee-sama? What are you planning by changing her appearance? I will never forgive anyone who is an enemy to Nee-sama.”
ㅤ
A powder keg situation.
Sparks fly as eyes turn to Arthur for help. Arthur leans in and whispers softly. The feeling tickles the ear.
ㅤ
“He’s your younger brother, isn’t he?”
“Yes. I don’t know how he figured it out, but I don’t think Thor will back down easily.”
“I see. . .”
ㅤ
At the same time as Arthur appears thoughtful, Thor rushes over.
ㅤ
“Stay away from Nee-sama!”
ㅤ
Thor tightly hugs, pulling away from Arthur. It seems he’s grown a bit taller since the last meeting.
ㅤ
“Nee-sama, are you okay? Doesn’t it make you uncomfortable being so close to a man?”
ㅤ
It’s nice that he’s worried, but I don’t know how to respond. I should interact as Tianne, but my true identity would be obvious if I speak.
ㅤ
Arthur lets out a sigh.
ㅤ
“If you continue to cause a scene here, you’ll be a burden to someone you care about. Let’s change locations.”
ㅤ
Arthur leads the way to a deserted road near the female dormitory. Chris, who had gone ahead, brings servant clothes for Thor.
ㅤ
“Please change here. There’s no one around right now.”
ㅤ
Here, outside?!
ㅤ
“Understood. If it’s for Nee-sama.”
ㅤ
Thor goes to a nearby bush and quietly changes. When he returns wearing the servant clothes, Chris hands him a magic stone.
ㅤ
“Please channel your magic into this. Those not registered cannot enter the dorm.”
ㅤ
Come to think of it, I also channeled magic into a stone.
I heard that the underground path leading to the female dorm allows unregistered people because it’s a secret passage.
Roa-sama and Arthur considered this place as the primary hiding spot, so they registered in advance.
ㅤ
“Then, I’ll go ahead and give the magic stone for registration.”
“I’m counting on you.”
ㅤ
After Chris left, everyone returned to the female dormitory led by Arthur. Upon locking the room door, it felt like one could finally breathe.
Everyone is there, and they are surprised by Thor’s sudden appearance. Arthur bows his head.
ㅤ
“I apologize for bringing him here on my own initiative. The lady’s younger brother noticed us.”
ㅤ
Roa-sama looks stern.
ㅤ
“I’m not sure how he recognized her, but he’s not backing down. He insists that the lady is his sister, so I brought him here.”
“Why is Nee-sama disguised as someone else and attending school? If you’re using her, I won’t allow it!”
ㅤ
Roa-sama and Thor lock eyes.
After a while, it was Roa-sama who first looked away.
ㅤ
“. . .Why did you think that person is your sister?”
“Why? It’s obvious if you look, isn’t it?”
ㅤ
The magical transformation tool is activated, yet I should appear as someone else right now.
ㅤ
“Nee-sama walked in front of me. If you see it, you’ll understand. She’s certainly different from before, but she’s still Nee-sama.”
“Tianne-sama has not spoken. I immediately hid her behind me, but she was noticed before leaving the small room.”
ㅤ
At Arthur’s words, Roa-sama gently shook her head.
ㅤ
“You realized just by the way I walk?”
“Of course.”
“Anyone else notice?”
“I don’t think so.”
“Understood. Keep it a secret. Otherwise, your beloved sister will be in danger.”
“Yes!”
“Gentlemen, I apologize. I never thought Thor would notice this way. . .”
“None of us anticipated this. It’s unexpected, but it’s good to have an ally from the lower nobility.”
ㅤ
Roa-sama says so, but I still feel sorry.
ㅤ
“It’s been a while since you last met, right? Take off the magical tool and talk for a bit.”
“. . .Yes.”
“Let me introduce and explain everyone. Everyone, please remove the magical tool.”
ㅤ
Upon removing the magical tool, Thor became teary-eyed.
ㅤ
“Nee-sama. . .! Mom disappeared suddenly, they said Nee-sama won’t come back, and Dad has gone to a different department and can’t come back, I. . .!”
“Thor. . .! I’m sorry for making you worry!”
ㅤ
Holding him tightly, Thor hugged me back. His slightly trembling hands conveyed how much he’d been feeling alone.
ㅤ
“First of all, everyone, please sit on the sofa. Let’s talk.”
ㅤ
Thor, who listened to the explanation while hugging me, seemed surprised but somewhat convinced.
ㅤ
“It’s only natural to get along with Nee-sama because she is an amazing person. The responsibility for getting involved is on your side, but Nee-sama is irresistibly charming.”
“Thor, please stop.”
“That’s right. Alice is an amazing person.”
“Wait, why are you calling her Nee-sama?”
“I was calling her Miss Norchev, but using the Norchev name would identify her. I’m using a name that’s still deceivable.”
“Can’t be helped then. Nee-sama, aren’t you uncomfortable?”
“It’s fine, so please stop, Thor.”
ㅤ
The ones here are not friends who would tolerate Thor’s recklessness.
ㅤ
“Alice, it’s fine. It’s an emotional reunion after your beloved sister suddenly disappeared.”
“Roa-sama. . . thank you. But I must behave properly.”
ㅤ
I pulled away from the hugging Thor to face him.
ㅤ
“Thor, the people in this room are worthy of respect. They’ve shouldered the burden of an encumbrance like me and brought me this far. I understand you’re worried about me, and that you’re being considerate because I’m not good with men. But you mustn’t be disrespectful.”
“Nee-sama, you’re not uncomfortable with men anymore?”
“I’m still not comfortable. But the people in this room, I’m not uncomfortable with.”
“So, I’m no longer your number one. . .?”
ㅤ
He looked up at me with teary eyes.
ㅤ
“Thor is the best! There’s no question about it!”
“. . . . . .I understand. I was worried that Nee-sama might be being threatened and forced to do something unpleasant. My apologies to everyone.”
ㅤ
Thor bowed deeply, and everyone laughed and forgave him. Edgardo is incredibly forgiving, even after being attacked by Thor during the founding festival.
ㅤ
“I will help for Nee-sama’s sake! Then Nee-sama will come home, right? Then let’s always be together!”
“Thor, is there someone you’re interested in?”
“No one!”
“Didn’t you go to see Marina?”
“I was helping with the development of cosmetics and seasonings for Nee-sama. Even the curry powder was made there!”
“I see. Thank you, I was able to cook something delicious because of Thor.”
“The other reason is that she resembles Nee-sama a bit. You know how Nee-sama’s thoughts are always written all over her face? She’s also not good with the opposite sex. Her involvement in cooking and her love for her family are also like Nee-sama!”
ㅤ
Thor’s world might be full of people who are like me.
I got a little scared imagining a world teeming with versions of me, so I decided to stop thinking about it.
