Yves Lopenheim was restrained with his arms outstretched.

 

It was like this when he came to his senses after being hit by the magic of darkness. Her skin could feel it wriggling like an earthworm, as if the remnants of the dark magic persisted.

 

I couldn’t wash for several days, so my body was dirty.

 

It was all a bad feeling.

 

Baron Lopenheim brought soup every other day and poured it into Eve’s mouth. It seemed like the purpose was to feed them. Eve had to force herself to drink the soup because if she didn’t eat, she would try to squeeze her throat with her dark magic.

 

I couldn’t understand the context behind it. Was Baron Lopenheim a demon? No, rather than that, it might have been a collusion with the demons. Because Baron Lopenheim didn’t look like a demon.

 

Eve looked around.

 

he was imprisoned This is a shady basement where criminals who commit crimes in the mansion are locked up.

 

At the entrance, there was a strong barrier through which dark magic flowed, so most people couldn’t enter. It was also the reason why Eve couldn’t think of escaping by summoning her white tiger familiar, Devon.

 

There was also another room with a closed door. Many children were imprisoned there.

Just a few days ago, I could tell from watching strangers putting their children into the room.

 

The men had their eyes on Eve, but Baron Lopenheim forcibly stopped them. There seemed to be a reason. It certainly wasn’t for a good reason.

 

Then, why did Baron Lopenheim collude with the demons and gather the children?

 

A human experiment, or a sacrifice for black magic… . It must be like that.

 

All I could imagine was the worst case scenario. Eve lowered her head helplessly.

 

“Isaac… .”

 

The only thing I can think of is my brother whom I love.

 

The image of young Isaac trying to catch himself trying to leave is vividly remembered every night.

 

Eve pondered over her past choices and drifted.

 

I thought I would be leaving him for only a few years to take care of Isaac for the next few decades.

 

It was only for the sake of Isaac that he endured harsh persecution and cold stares at the Baron family in Lopenheim.

 

But, I won’t be able to go back now. Whatever the outcome, I would never see Isaac again.

 

That fact made Eve unbearably sad and painful.

 

Tears sometimes spilled out, but Eve bit her lip and held back the sound.

 

“I miss you… .”

 

If I had one last wish, I wanted to see Isaac one more time.

 

… …

 

Eve felt an earthquake once.

 

From the other room, I heard the children screaming in panic.

 

After a while, the barrier disappeared like a broken window.

 

A woman came into the basement.

 

Eve’s eyes widened. He was a completely unexpected person.

 

“student president… ?”

 

It was Alice Carroll, the student council president of Marchen Academy. she walked down the aisle

 

Knights in platinum armor follow Alice one after another. They were the strong ones Eve had ever seen.

 

The Ice Kingdom, the troops of Dupendorf.

 

All of them were the minions of Isaac Isaac.

 

Soon a familiar man entered the basement. He cast [Freeze Blast] lightly to break the prison, then went inside and stood in front of Eve.

 

Cold air flowing around. The lamp light illuminating the basement hallway became his halo.

 

A muffled sound did not reach my ears. Eve couldn’t believe what she was seeing.

 

“Long time no see, sister.”

 

“Isaac… ?”

 

Eve seemed to be dreaming.

 

* * *

 

Yves Lopenheim.

 

Isaac and his half-sister have the same mother, but different fathers.

 

In ＜Merchen’s Magic Knight＞, he was an NPC with no importance, and a psychotic character who only told unpleasant lies while looking at Ian with lifeless eyes.

 

However, contrary to my memory, the Eve I saw during the first semester of my second year was very normal.

 

Why didn’t Eve become a psychopath? If there is a big difference from the game, the one that comes to mind is Isaac’s death.

 

Isaac took his own life, and Eve, a student at Marchen Academy, would have heard the news of Isaac naturally.

 

Since Baron Lopenheim said that he put psychological pressure on Eve, there must be a reason why Eve left Isaac.

 

I’m not sure what that is.

 

What was clear was that Eve had an undying affection for Isaac.

 

To the extent that his mind was broken after losing Isaac, his younger brother must have had a special meaning to Eve.

 

It never occurred to me that such a person would have been adopted by the Barons of Lopenheim without any hesitation in order to enjoy a movie of wealth and fame.

 

Wow!

 

I broke Eve’s restraints. Perhaps it was because she couldn’t move properly for a while, Eve was about to fall. He grabbed her shoulder.

 

Eve couldn’t stop crying. She grabbed my clothes and wept bitterly.

 

“Isaac, I’m sorry. Sorry… . I really missed you… .”

 

Eve recited the words she had stored in her heart. I didn’t know what to say, so I just nodded my head once.

 

“Let’s go.”

 

He took a cloak from his magic pouch, put it over Eve’s shoulders, and carried her on his back to the garden.

 

Eve spoke softly in a calm voice.

 

“Isaac, how did you get here?”

 

“I stopped by because I had work.”

 

“… I was scared.”

 

“huh.”

 

“I missed you so much.”

 

“huh.”

 

“Sorry… . For not being by my side when you’re having a hard time. I’m so incompetent, I’m so sorry… .”

 

“… … .”

 

Eve buried her head in my shoulder and apologized over and over again.

 

The one who deserved an apology was not me, but the former Isaac, who couldn’t handle the storms of the world and took his own life in despair.

 

That’s why the current Isaac didn’t accept the apology and just kept silent.

 

Meanwhile, Alice and the Dupendorf Knights took all the children outside.

 

The number of children is sixty-five. It was as I heard. I checked every nook and cranny with [Clairvoyance] just in case, but there was no child left.

 

The knights and wizards of the Baron of Lopenheim were lightly subdued and restrained by Alice.

 

Adrian Lopenheim lost his dark magic and fainted when I blew his right eye. His body was bound in ice.

 

Adrian would go over to the imperial family and pay for his crimes.

 

The reason why the Empire’s response was delayed this time was because the commander, Kalgart, had hired someone to move secretly. Unless even a major incident occurred, there was no way that anything happening in the baron’s territory on the outskirts of the countryside would be reported to the imperial family.

 

Even I, based on my game knowledge, reviewed and found out just in case, the Empire couldn’t have already noticed. It was like paying off a debt to the kingdom once again.

 

I sat Eve down on a garden chair. Looking at Baron Lopenheim, who was in a mess, she seemed to feel exhilaration, relief, and complex emotions.

 

I didn’t know the details of the circumstances, and I didn’t feel much affection for Eve.

 

Likewise, since he was the only blood relative trampled by Baron Lopenheim, he had a strong desire to take care of her.

 

“Your sister is here.”

 

“Isaac? you… ?”

 

“I have work to do. People will come soon. In the meantime, my minions will protect you, so you can rest in peace.”

 

While answering that, Alice approached Eve.

 

The two were classmates at the academy, but Alice was also the object of longing for Eve. Because of that, Eve was hesitant and showed an awkward expression.

 

Alice greeted Eve politely.

 

“It’s the first time I greet you properly. Are you okay, brother?”

 

“older brother… ?”

 

what is he saying now

 

Eve made an expression that she did not understand.

 

It was a natural reaction to suddenly hear from Alice the title she should have heard as a sister-in-law.

 

“Sigh… !”

 

Eve, who quickly understood Alice’s meaning, blushed, closed her mouth, and swallowed.

 

I grabbed Alice’s wrist and hurriedly left the place.

 

“Oh, honey?”

 

“Stop using that nickname… . It’s over.”

 

Alice accompanied me because she was my servant and had the responsibility of being on the front line.

 

Now we should head to the place Adrian told us about.

 

[Clairsight] was used to discover the underground kingdom and the Corpse Corps. Karlgarth was preparing for battle, probably noticing my gaze and deciding that it was too late to run away.

 

If he was going to welcome him, he would have to be happy to do so. Of course, it is essential to be prepared for the possibility of digging a trap.

 

In the middle of the Lopenheim Baron’s Garden, the widest section. The moonlight was shining brightly. There, he stood side by side with Alice.

 

I could feel people staring at me, but I ignored it because I was about to leave anyway.

 

“baby.”

 

Alice spoke to me.

 

Alice’s characteristic kind smile was still full of Alice’s face, but for some reason, a complicated feeling was revealed. After living with Alice for a while, I was able to notice changes in her psychology.

 

Soft, soft fingers slipped between my fingers. Alice then clasped my hand and held it.

 

“I heard about it for the first time today.”

 

Is it Isaac’s family story?

 

“It wasn’t something I wanted to tell you, and to be honest, I didn’t really know either. You heard it too.”

 

“… … .”

 

“Well, you don’t have to worry about it.”

 

I’m just saying that something like that happened. While muttering that, he tried to summon Ice and Snow Dragon – Hild. Knowing the location of Kalgart, he planned to fly quickly.

 

Then, out of nowhere, Alice hugged the back of my head onto her shoulder.

 

The summoning spell calculation got messed up and the summoning stopped. It was embarrassing.

 

“Alice?”

 

“Babe, yes. Actually, my heart hurt a little earlier.”

 

Alice whispered softly and softly brushed my hair.

 

He was still smiling, but his wet eyes and drooping eyebrows contained affection.

 

“I want you to know what a baby means to me.”

 

I remembered Alice’s reaction when talking to Baron Lopenheim. Her expression hardened coldly, and I could even feel the dark fleshly intentions in her.

 

But Alice’s mission is to protect me forever. She didn’t impulsively intervene in my family affairs, and faithfully followed my orders.

 

“Sometimes, please act childishly on me. Am I a baby?”

 

Alice knew that comforting me now was doing for me. All of a sudden, I realized that I had become a precious person to this child.

 

I got out of Alice’s arms. She met my eyes with a gentle smile.

 

Saying I’m fine or not sad was just cumbersome. All it took was one word.

 

“… thanks.”

 

“You’re welcome, honey.”

 

Alice replied in a playful way, probably for the purpose of lightening the atmosphere.

 

Alice and I each summoned our familiars.

 

Woo woo woo!

 

Magic power gathers in the air.

 

Ice and Snow Dragon-Heeld appeared, spreading light blue cold air and spreading jade-colored wings.

 

The Nightmare Dragon – Jabberwock showed a menacing majesty with red-purple flames wrapped around black wings.

 

The white and black dragons occupying the middle of the garden all roared toward the sky. Those who watched looked at the power of the two dragons in amazement.

 

Soon, Ice Snow Dragon and Nightmare Dragon lowered their heads. I rode on the Snow Dragon, and Alice rode on the Nightmare Dragon.

 

“Heild, I’m going to catch the demons. Prepare for battle.”

 

[Oh, master! I’ll beat them all up!]

 

Ice Snow Dragon burned his will and raised his magic power.

 

“Jabberwock, please take care of yourself too.”

 

The Nightmare Dragon was startled when I spoke to him. Memories of defeat seemed to come to my mind.

 

Ice Snow Dragon and Nightmare Dragon flapped their wings and flew up. In the aftermath, strong winds shook the plants in the garden vigorously.

 

The knights of Dupendorf saluted me as we leave, and the rest of us stare at us with gaping mouths.

 

Alice and I crossed the sky toward the place where the dead man Kalgart was.
