Yves Lopenheim.

 

It is true that he has a special affection for her because he is the only blood relative.

 

The restraints of Baron Lopenheim were gone, and misunderstandings I didn’t know were resolved. I had a desire to take care of my half-siblings who must have suffered greatly mentally.

 

however… , There was no law that people’s work would go my way.

 

“sister?”

 

“Isaak, this. It’s a lunch box. It’s been a while since I used my strength, how is it?”

 

“I rode it all… ?”

 

Eve came to me and handed me a lunchbox where all the food turned to black coal.

 

“Hi, Isaac. Coincidence! Do you see everything from here?”

 

“sister? Didn’t you do something like a morning canter?”

 

“No, did you do it sometimes?”

 

“I’ve never seen one before… ?”

 

Early in the morning, he suddenly appeared in training clothes and ran next to me.

 

“Isaac, can we eat together?”

 

“Sorry, I thought I could hold your finger. Not yet… . I must have been impatient.”

 

“Why are you so pale? Dark circles are also serious. Are you eating well? … Do not lie. you were hungry this morning … what? what’s the matter? You’re saying this because you’re worried because you’re an older sister.”

 

“No, sorry. Are you burdened? Sorry. I guess I’m too ugly… .”

 

“I am happy these days? I don’t want to fall with you anymore If we get further apart, I might hurt myself… .”

 

“By any chance, you weren’t avoiding my greetings earlier, were you? Didn’t you deliberately pretend you didn’t see me? Am I overreacting?”

 

As if some shackles that had restrained Eve had been lifted, she forcibly tried to intervene in my daily life.

 

He acted normal to others, but when he looked at me, it was as if he had become a different person.

 

‘I’ve become obsessed… .’

 

It was worth it.

 

The family history that Baron Lopenheim ruined is not only Isaac’s past, but also Eve’s past.

 

I had to break up badly with my younger brother whom I loved so much, and I had to let go of my mother whom I loved indifferently. Even his younger brother went missing.

 

The psychological shock Eve must have suffered was indescribable. So he must have cried because he was sorry for me and regretted his past choices. Like a cracked glass window, he must have already been in a state of disorientation.

 

‘Now that all the problems are solved, well… .’

 

Realizing the importance of what was there only after losing it is a life process that most humans go through.

 

So it was understandable that Eve, who must have felt a great sense of loss, showed signs of obsession.

 

He is a brother who has been restored. I was sure that if I fell apart, Eve would be under enormous stress and blame herself.

 

‘Still, this is unexpected.’

 

In ＜Merchen’s Magical Knight＞, Yves Loffenheim was an extra NPC who was completely mentally broken. Then one day, it suddenly disappears and the news is cut off.

 

I was able to find Eve’s diploma on a certain map.

 

There was a clue that allowed us to infer that Eve took her own life after obtaining the diploma she so much desired. It must be because all the reasons for living to get a diploma have disappeared.

 

I’m glad that I’m living like I am now.

 

but… However, if you blindly show kindness, the obsession will only get worse. The other day, after removing a single hair from Eve’s clothes, I realized it greatly.

 

To be honest, it was embarrassing.

 

Then, before I knew it, my worries deepened.

 

… …

 

“Uhhh, is it a woman’s problem? Is it a woman’s problem?”

 

It was evening time, when the sun was setting.

 

Amy Holloway, a female student with white bobbed hair wearing a black rabbit ribbon, was sitting side by side in the crowd at the academy’s open air arena, talking. Amy smiled broadly and asked playfully.

 

I was still holding the magic weapon, and one of Dupendorf’s troops I had summoned was resting on top of the arena. In front of him, Ian Fairytale passed out.

 

“Anyway, it’s popular. How should I say, you look like a good-looking skinny guy? It has all the elements that make women go crazy.”

 

“What are you talking about? .”

 

“Yeah, lifting those glasses. It’s like a total jerk. You say your appearance covers it, so there is a synergistic effect?”

 

“Okay, give me a proper answer.”

 

“About the one who is obsessed with you?”

 

Ian was in the middle of being trained, so I talked about my worries about Eve to Ian and Amy.

 

This was the reason why the thought of confessing my troubles to someone came to my mind right here and now. Amy was right next to her.

 

‘In terms of my age in my previous life, I did live longer than him… .’

 

It was my first time dealing with a type like Eve, so I wanted to hear other people’s opinions.

 

There is someone I want to treat well, but he is usually obsessed with me to the point of being burdensome. If you treat them well, they tend to become more attached to you. But anyway, I’m a person who wants to get along well.

 

talked like this

 

Eve was not directly mentioned.

 

“Are you talking about Luce?”

 

“Is that so?”

 

“Ohh.”

 

Amy’s rabbit ear ribbons pricked up.

 

“It’s not Luce. My friend Isaac, I can’t use it if I manage the fishing grounds. You always give girls a lot of room, don’t you? That’s bad, that’s bad. Totally screwed up! Are we saying that if there is such a girl among girls, we will even break off the relationship? You need to cut off your relationship with the opposite s*x.”

 

“It’s not like that, man.”

 

And what I’m giving you is not fishery management. It’s just a build-up for the harem. I want to make love to all the girls I like.

 

People are driving in a strange direction.

 

“okay? So, tell me who you are. I think I can think about it in detail if I know what kind of relationship you and that person have.”

 

“Just family. They are siblings.”

 

“Ahh. By the way, sister? younger sister?”

 

“sister.”

 

“I see someone who is attached to you. Fuheh, but hey, what kind of ice Empror kid is worrying about is on the same level as us? I thought you would only worry about global agendas, terrifying problems that threaten humanity.”

 

That’s right… . Except for the concerns about Eve, all of them were major global events that threatened humanity.

 

“It’s not like there’s a big difference between me and the people here.”

 

“You’ll be fine.”

 

Amy laughed.

 

“In my opinion, family obsession is not good. If it were me, I would try to fall off on purpose. No, I’ll avoid it. leave me alone! I would say.”

 

“okay?”

 

“huh. I was fed up with my brother’s overprotectiveness… . I don’t think it’s good for anyone to be obsessed with me while burdening me.”

 

“Is your boyfriend still?”

 

“Ian is an exception. Rather, it’s a problem because I’m not too obsessed with him.”

 

Amy inflates her cheeks poutingly.

 

Simply saying that obsession is not good and trying to keep a distance from the other person seemed too one-dimensional.

 

I think it will be a proper counseling if you tell me about your family affairs… . For that reason, Amy had an ambiguous feeling.

 

“Oh, Ian woke up.”

 

Amy said while looking at the arena.

 

Ian Fairytail came to his senses and stood up.

 

Then, holding the sword, he sparred again with the Dupendorf soldier who was waiting for him.

 

f*ck!

 

“I passed out again.”

 

Amy commented as if it were natural.

 

… …

 

The sky darkened.

 

While training in the corner of the butterfly garden. The Eve problem was still filling my head.

 

It might be the best way to just accept Eve’s favor in an appropriate way and reject it if it’s too much.

 

However, every time she refused Eve’s request, she felt great sadness, and worried to the point of burning inside, worried that she might be hated by me.

 

I feel pity and guilt.

 

How should I treat such a person?

 

“Kwah!”

 

“Mr. Oh! It’s a surprise… .”

 

When I was immersed in deep thought, someone cutely roared from behind. It’s been a long time since I’ve been playing around.

 

When I turned my head back, I saw Dorothy, who was laughing. I opened my ax eye and glared at her.

 

“Ah, this reaction. I missed you. It’s so good, stick it!”

 

“senior… .”

 

“Have you been careless for a long time? What the hell are you worried about?”

 

Dorothy poked her head close to me and asked playfully.

 

Come to think of it, there was no one with whom I could confide my secrets more openly than Dorothy. Because he knew more of my secrets than anyone else.

 

‘That’s right. Shall I ask him?’

 

I remembered Amy’s reply, ‘Avoid and run away’. If you do, you worry about the psychological pain the other person will feel. Because Eve is not emotionally intact.

 

I asked Dorothy as a test.

 

“Senior Dorothy.”

 

“huh.”

 

“If I wanted to avoid you, how would you feel?”

 

“huh… ?”

 

Dorothy’s smiling complexion slowly turned blue.

 

* * *

 

Isaac and Dorothy sat side by side on the lawn.

 

Isaac shared his concerns with Amy.

 

There is someone I want to get along with, but that person is obsessed with me. Treating them well tends to make them more obsessive. It’s a burden, what can I do?

 

It was such a simple interpersonal concern.

 

“That was it… .”

 

Dorothy was relieved.

 

“What if you ask me like that, you son of a b*tch? fall between people. You knew you made a big mistake.”

 

“sorry. Because of the answer my friend gave me earlier… .”

 

“anyway. There’s someone I’m obsessed with, but if you do me a favor, the obsession gets worse, and that’s why I can’t be with a bad person… .”

 

Dorothy thoughtfully closed her eyes and put her hand to her chin.

 

He pretended to be worried.

 

‘Is it a woman’s problem… !’

 

Of course it’s a woman’s problem. Maybe it was because Isaac couldn’t have worried about a man like this.

 

It seemed that some woman had a crush on Isaac, and the good-natured Isaac wouldn’t rush her out.

 

The answer was fixed.

 

should be dropped

 

“Tsk tsk, you’re indecisive.”

 

“yes?”

 

“Listen, Isaac. You have to be firm. Is there such a person? The more you leave it alone, the worse it gets, it won’t get better. Even though you show off that people don’t like you, you’re saying that you’ve lost your mind? It’s selfish. have to hit it No exceptions. Trying to climb up the cliff where you are? You have to step on that hand without mercy and drop it. If he screams as he falls, cover your ears and ignore him. If it harms you, it is right to firmly strike it.”

 

“I think he must be having a hard time… ?”

 

“Can’t you help it?”

 

Dorothy vomited.

 

“I saw a lot of people like that when I was working in the adventurer’s guild. They were all people who had to be cut off. Why should you be considerate of someone who only burdens you and obsesses over you? It’s not for you, it’s not for him. They’re only hurting each other! A person like that won’t help you at all in your life!”

 

“Senior Dorothy… , You are much more resolute than I thought.”

 

“Is that normal? I am a smart and sophisticated person.”

 

Dorothy replied triumphantly.

 

Isaac gently stroked his chin. Amy and Dorothy are of the same opinion. I decided that it would be right to follow the thoughts of the women.

 

I was determined. Let’s keep our distance from Eve. If you do, the burdensome obsession symptoms may be alleviated.

 

“… I’ll do that. I think it would be better to hit it firmly.”

 

“Good idea.”

 

Dorothy grinned. Inwardly, he congratulated himself for completing the elimination of competitors.

 

“Still, I should make sure my sister gets hurt as little as possible.”

 

“huh? sister?”

 

“Yes, as I said before. The half-sister who was said to have been used by Baron Lopenheim.”

 

“I see.”

 

Dorothy smiled and lowered her head gradually.

 

stopping breathing.

 

Cold sweat began to pour down Dorothy’s face as if a faucet had been turned on.

 

“I don’t think it’s humanly possible to sternly dismiss someone for just being a little obsessive.”

 

“… yes?”

 

Dorothy tried to calm her trembling voice and explained quickly.

 

“You might be wondering if your younger brother eats well, studies well, has no worries, and has not experienced any sad events, right? Sometimes you can do aegyo with your little brother, right? It’s completely normal! Rather, it’s ridiculous to cut down such a caring person! It’s the worst!”

 

“That kind of person is selfish… , there are no exceptions, didn’t you? If we don’t get far apart, we’ll only harm each other… .”

 

“There are no absolutes in this world. My experience is just one of many human life histories, and I can’t refer to it… !”

 

“Wouldn’t it be quite a reference if you’ve lived a rough life since you were young like senior Dorothy… ?”

 

“no! I am nothing but dust!”

 

Dorothy’s attitude toward life became sharply polite.

 

“anyway!”

 

Dorothy puts her hand on Isaac’s shoulder. There was an earthquake in her eyes.

 

“What if I get a little obsessive? To avoid an older brother who is considerate of his younger brother is completely inhumane!”

 

“older brother… ?”

 

“What do you mean, you said sister? Anyway, I still love spending time with you, so it could be that I’m not taking care of my heart the way I want, right? Trust your sister for now. and love me You are the older sister who thinks of you. Boo, I’m sure it will work out!”

 

Dorothy hurriedly poured out good words. Those words stirred Isaac’s sensibility.

 

“… … .”

 

Until Baron Lopenheim started tearing up Isaac’s family in earnest, Eve would have lived a good life with Isaac.

 

When that thought suddenly came to mind, I decided that it would be better to take care of Eve and watch the progress.

 

“Yes, what… . Okay. Thank you, senior.”

 

“okay… .”

 

Dorothy, who had been forced to smile, trudged back to sit next to Isaac.

 

… …

 

It was morning.

 

Orphin Hall, 3rd grade B class classroom. In the midst of the students returning to school, Yves Lopenheim was preparing for class by taking out a book.

 

The hand that was taking out the book suddenly stopped.

 

“… … .”

 

When he thought of Isaac, who was burdened with himself, his heart jumped up.

 

Did I inadvertently put pressure on you? But what can I do when I look at Isaac and my emotions boil over?

 

Eve tried to control her voice, sniffed and moved her hand again.

 

At that time, a sophomore male student entered the classroom.

 

The sound of fading conversation. The atmosphere in the classroom gradually becomes heavy.

 

The 3rd year students couldn’t take their eyes off the 2nd year student.

 

“Isn’t he Isaac?”

 

“It’s ice… ?”

 

“Wow, why did he come here… ?”

 

“Handsome… .”

 

Eve’s ears twitched. She quickly turned her head to check on the second year student entering the classroom.

 

Isaac, a blue-silver haired male student, came into Eve’s field of vision. He was approaching Eve.

 

Eve’s eyes are growing.

 

The eyes of the third year students were focused on Isaac and Eve.

 

“Isaak, why are you here… ?”

 

“just. I came to see my sister.”

 

The third graders doubted their ears. sister? Did you say she’s your sister now? Such gossip passed between the third graders.

 

Isaac placed the drinks and chocolates he was holding on Eve’s desk.

 

What’s the situation? Eve’s expression contained such a question.

 

“I was going to eat it, but I remembered my sister and came to share it.”

 

“uh… ?”

 

Absolutely openly benevolent. That was Isaac’s choice.

 

Anyway, I wanted to get along well with Eve. Wouldn’t it be enough if you lead this relationship yourself?

 

It made me feel more comfortable doing this.

 

“bon appetit.”

 

I couldn’t help being awkward, but Isaac is a master of acting. He patted Eve’s shoulder as he spoke calmly, hiding his shriveled feelings. After that, I turned my back and left the classroom.

 

The 3rd graders looked at the place where Isaac had left.

 

Eve looked at the snacks Isaac had left behind, blankly.

 

Before long, Eve’s reason functioned normally.

 

“… … !”

 

Eve covered her mouth with her hand and her eyes lit up.

 

‘What, I’m glad… !!’

 

How can common snacks that can be bought and eaten emit such a dazzling brilliance? It was the first sight I had ever seen in my life.

 

Eve seemed to shed tears of emotion.

 

She carefully placed the treats Isaac had handed out to her in a luxurious box and kept them in her dorm room as precious heirlooms.
