There Are Too Many Second Male Leads!

“Well, even if it’s not me, Evan teaches it better…”

 

Ah. Was it something like that? I saw through Louise’s obvious intentions and said with a wide smile.

 

“I want to learn from Brother Louise!”

 

Tiring!

 

[Louise Clemend: Favorability +3]

 

It stings a little because it seemed like he’s flattering me for the sake of likeability, but these words were sincere. Even if Evan was a higher level swordsman than Louise, it was Louise that I wanted to be guided by. Even if Evan was in charge of training, it was obvious that he would only scold rather than teach properly. Better than that was Louise, who seems to give you carrots and sticks even if you tick! I glanced at the time limit floating in the air, the corner of my mouth constantly twitching.

 

[Time limit 19:40]

 

[Time limit 19:39]

 

[Time limit 19:38]

 

There’s still some time left, but if I refuse here, it’s over. I put on my most earnest expression and walked closer to him.

 

“I felt a lot of things while watching Brother Louise’s swordsmanship. I am also the daughter of a prosecutor’s family! She’s a princess from the Clement family. Does it make sense that I can’t even wield a dagger?”

 

It wasn’t something I had thought of in advance, but I guess I got used to it because I was flattering her, so I came up with plausible reasons based on what the maids were chattering next to me.

 

“I heard that among the children of the Clemend family with 100 years of history, I am the only one who can’t even handle mana. I heard that even if you don’t have to use a sword, if you are of the Clemend bloodline, you can easily manage mana from a young age? But I can’t do anything! No matter how much you are adopted, you have to do the basics. “Isn’t that right?”

 

“That… yes.”

 

When Louise suddenly agreed, I quickly cornered her.

 

“Yes? Therefore!”

 

“…”

 

“Are you going to teach me? Yes?”

 

When I brought her face closer, Louise flinched behind her. I paid her no heed and mercilessly glared at her with flattering eyes. Please allow it, do it right away! Please!

 

“I have no one else to ask for except Louise!”

 

Tiring!

 

[Louise Clemend: Favorability +2]

 

I understand, so give me permission! Louise glanced at me, smiling so hard that her face convulsed, and her eyes rested on my bandaged neck. Finally, his stiff expression relaxed, as if he were desperate.

 

“…okay. I don’t know if that will be forgiven.”

 

As soon as Louise gave permission, the time limit disappeared and a welcome system alarm appeared.

 

Tiring!

 

[Mission success! Pick a golden key!]

 

“Kyaa! Thank you, brother! I will learn really hard!”

 

I wrapped my arms around his neck and stamped my feet as if I was going to jump into his arms. Louise looked embarrassed and tried to pull me away, but I couldn’t. Because you have to pick the golden key right away! I looked at the three golden keys shining and floating on the back of Louise’s head. Maintaining a brilliant appearance, he carefully examined the golden key spinning in place. 

 

‘Ego. What should I choose this time?’

 

* * *

 

[Louise Clemend: Favorability 19%]

 

“It’s totally awesome?!”

 

While I was walking calmly down the hallway, I couldn’t help myself and started shouting to myself. Passersby glanced at me in surprise, but that didn’t seem to matter. I woke up after sleeping for four days and thought I couldn’t do anything, but it was an unexpected harvest. I decided to learn swordsmanship starting tomorrow, and Louise’s favorability rating increased as much as Kai, which I thought was the highest. furthermore.

 

[Third Golden Key: Blank Potion]

 

I even received an unknown potion as a reward. I still don’t know what it was used for, but it wasn’t a bad item since it was a reward anyway.

 

[You will know what this is when the situation arises! Well then, good work!]

 

‘Does the system keep even this secret?’

 

I scoffed, blaming the system for not fully explaining the potion. But that only lasted a moment. I woke up sick and so many good things happened! I’m sure it will come in handy someday! I was walking excitedly, but suddenly stopped. Louise suddenly reappeared in the distance. Again?

 

‘No. That atmosphere can’t be Louise.’

 

Sensing his cool aura, I was able to tell that the blonde handsome man standing in the distance was Evan without even checking my likeability rating.

 

‘How can twins be so different?’

 

As soon as Evan saw me, he slowly approached me. As he got closer, the green letters above his head became clearer.

 

[Evan Clemend: Favorability 8%]

 

“Uh?!”

 

It went up. Although it is much less than Louise, Evan’s favorability rating also rose by 7 after seeing her in four days. As soon as Evan stood tall in front of me, I clapped my hands and smiled broadly.

 

“Brother Evan! Are you worried about me too?!”

 

Evan flinched at my words. But soon his face distorted viciously.

 

“Why should I blame you for entering the training hall without permission?”

 

“Yes?”

 

He spoke in a voice full of contempt. Instead of worrying, I stared at Evan with a bewildered expression, who was looking down at me with disgust.

 

“I hope this incident will clearly engrave into your stupid head how much you don’t fit in with the Clemend family.”

 

“Yes??”

 

“If you set it up one more time, the next time you might end up with my sword.”

 

Is this what you say to someone who just woke up after four days? I was looking at Evan, not believing my ears, but his cruel words did not end there.

 

“If you want to live with your life in the Clement family, you should live quietly like a rat. Don’t make noise or make a fuss. “Now, it’s quite annoying.”

 

…what? I knew Evan hated Roella. I didn’t know it would be like this. As soon as he heard Evan’s words, his heart pounded. He was so angry that his face seemed to be getting more and more heated. If you want to save your life, do you live quietly as if you were dead? Is it annoying? It’s already a performance of likeability, and it’s a mission, so I’m doing everything I can to live my life by stubbornly accomplishing it!

 

“Brother Evan.”

 

I called him low, without hiding my unpleasant feelings.

 

“What?”

 

“Whether I’m a misfit or not, I’m from the Clement family. No matter how much you try to push me away, I will stick close to this house.”

 

When I spoke softly as if to defy him, he realized my intention and opened his eyes wide as if he was surprised. I glanced at Evan disapprovingly. Are you the only one who can be sarcastic? I do this too! As much as possible, I tried to smile brightly and have a good time. uh?!

 

“If you don’t like the temple, leave the temple! You know this, right? Ah. Isn’t there a middle school here? Anyway! If you don’t like me being in Clemente so much, Brother Evan can just leave!”

 

“Roella. How dare you-”

 

“Originally, whether you are brother or sister, family is something you have to look after until death. No matter how much you hate me, can you bother my family like that? Do I belong to my brother?!”

 

“…!”

 

Did it work? When Evan was speechless, as if he had become mute, I gathered my momentum and shouted louder.

 

“I fully understand that you are dissatisfied with me because I am lacking a lot. Stupid me! I will try my best!”

 

Otherwise, one way or another, I will die anyway!

 

“I was born again!”

 

Because she’s a really different person from the previous Roella! My sickly body is probably already buried in the ground, and I don’t want to go back to that horrible daily life again!

 

“So even if you don’t acknowledge me, I will definitely stay in this house! please! It will stick! You will become a suitable person! “I have nowhere to go anyway!”

 

Uh? Weird.

 

“I will do everything I can as long as I have the strength to do it! Don’t you know what a blessing it is to be able to do what you can?”

 

My sarcastic voice suddenly began to tremble. I couldn’t close my mouth once it opened. His mouth moved freely as if he had been waiting for this day.

 

“I love it now! Healthy, healthy… If it hurts to the point of death, there’s nothing you can do but endure the pain!”

 

Was it because of my mother’s dream? It started out as just a way to confront Evan, but I was filled with sadness. Maybe it was because he shouted at Evan with his eyes wide open, but Evan was unable to respond like a mute. I continued to speak in a strong voice.

 

“I can tolerate pain really well, so these cuts are nothing! Even if Brother Evan gets decapitated by his sword next time, my position will be the same!”

 

“What?”

 

“No matter how much you try to scare me, I will never do such a waste of keeping my body and limbs intact! Just wait and see!”

 

I blurted out the words in a huff, but I felt tears falling down my cheeks. I quickly wiped away my tears and strengthened my eyes.

 

“If you hate me that much, brother, please leave! I’m going to hate Evan now too!”

 

Are you the only one who hates me? I’m excited too! After finishing what I had to say, I turned my back on him. As soon as I turned my back, tears fell, but I steadfastly rubbed my eyes with my forearm. As I walked back to the room, I kept wiping away my tears and never looked back. Things like Evan’s likeability. I don’t know anymore! Meanwhile, Evan stared in fascination at Roella’s back as she walked away, stomping her feet.

 

─Because I’m going to hate Brother Evan now too!

 

Thud.

 

The moment I heard those words, I felt like my heart sank. My heart was throbbing, and a feeling of discomfort was creeping in.

 

‘Do you dare to hate me?’

 

Surely, if it had been like before, they would have raised an auror to shut their reckless mouth. But I couldn’t do that today.

 

‘I wonder if what happened last night gave me some sympathy.’

 

─I love it now! Healthy, healthy… When the pain is so bad that you die, there’s nothing you can do but endure the pain!

 

─I can tolerate pain really well, so the cuts are nothing!

 

“…Endure the pain well.”

 

A topic that was so painful. Evan frowned, remembering Roella’s expression as she bravely wiped away the falling tears. The discomfort still remained. Even before, whenever I saw Roella, I wanted to be sarcastic. The feeling rose up, but it was different now. It seemed like I was even more angry when it came out like that.

 

─If you hate me so much, Evan, please leave!

 

Roella never dreamed that what she did would ignite Evan’s anger.

 

[Evan Clemend: 10% likeability]

 

It was shining and floating above Evan’s head as he turned around and started walking with an expressionless face.
