Chapter 7 (2/2)

「You shut up!! A girl who has been bought shouldn’t interrupt!」

Being shouted at, Sylvia became teary-eyed.

*Gyutto* she held the hem of her clothes.

Her tears dropped……and fell to the ring.

「……」

*Kachiーn* I was enraged. I asked Isaac.

「Arerere〜, was Nii-san really earning money」

「Haa? What did you say」

「I, have no memory of Nii-san making money. Only fails at every trade and be scolded. That, is that really, “working”〜」

「A kid shouldn’t say cheeky things, getting a profit isn’t that easy!!」

He just should have said he had, but he got angry backーーYou haven’t really earned a profit ever since huh.

「I had a profit you know〜, in one week, about 100k Cet」

「Ha?」

「Proof’s here」

I showed the money I earned the last week

「W-What did you do」

「I made the water clean with magic, and I sold that」

Aniki lost his words.

But soon came back, and puts on airs.

「F-Fun. That much, is enough for a kid like you playing house」

「Un, it might be playing house〜. But Nii-san can only do less than that playing house right〜」

I told him unnaturally in child-mode, *Giro* glared at Aniki, and put an end to him.

「I’m a kid that’s “not married”, so playing house is okay right〜」

「Khu!」

Aniki lost his words again. And couldn’t say anything back, and went away as if to run away.

I tried to follow him, and say a lot more things at him.

Saying things to people’s wife, he shouldn’t be left with only this.

But, I couldn’t go after him. My clothes were grabbed. It’s Sylvia.

Sylvia held my clothes, and looked up to me with her teary-eyes.

「Thank you very much, Lucio-sama」

She told me thanks with tears on her eyes.

I wiped Sylvia’s tears. I returned to my usual way of talking and said.

「I’ll tell you this, Sylvia is nothing like a girl who was bought. You are my wife even before we are born, you are the girl of my destiny, you are not something like a bought girl」

「Yes……」

「……Let’s go back to the archives」

I still had a lot to say to Aniki, but it didn’t matter at all after seeing Sylvia’s face.

We returned to the archives, continuously read Grimoires, and ate shaved ice.

At night, we slept while holding our hands.
