The location of this game world is centered in the Brune Kingdom, a small third-rate country according to the neighboring kingdoms.
There is no electricity nor adventurers, to get similar benefits use magic stones which you get in mines or from monsters.
Magic stones come in different shapes and sizes, but craftsmen in magic stone factories are in charge of modifying and polishing them to be used in different places.
As for example lanterns, instead of using candles and matches, they use magic stones to achieve the same goal.
You just put the magic stone in a small box and the magic does the rest.
The coastal fishing sector is less developed.
They are implementing magic stones to the boats to try to turn them into steamboats, but the effect is negative.
The farming sector is going through a crisis due to bandits stealing from farmers, plagues sent by envious merchants and poisoning of the land.
The Brune Kingdom abounds with approximately one million people, the smallest population in the world for a country.
In that country, there is a certain territory, to which... our protagonist is heading.
"Don't fuck with me!"
"I don't want to be a fucking magic stone! I'm the protagonist of this world!"
"Give me back my dreams, you fucking gooooooooooooooooooooood!"
The knights returned to the territory's stable.
But first they passed through the main street which was made of stone debris and mud, different from other streets which are made of finer stone for a better ride.
Arriving at the stable, a young servant received their horses.
"Good job today."
"Thanks, Pitt."
"Is everybody ready yet?"
"For a while now, there's only been a slight delay in the kitchen."
"Is he angry?"
"What do you think?"
*Sigh*
"Come on, let's finish this quickly."
The two knights left the stable to head to the mansion.
It was such a large mansion, you could mistake it for a small castle if someone had never seen one.
The garden was so beautiful, you could see the care of the gardeners in every flower.
The color of the mansion was red, like the family crest flag that rested in the center of the house, on it a sword pointed downward.
That was the family crest of this noble house.
They knocked on the door and a butler opened the door for them.
"You really were delayed."
"Hey, hey, we're knights, not messengers. Our job is to go patrolling the territory and not in going looking for gifts."
"It was an order from the lord of these lands, you can't disobey them."
"I know, but─"
"Hey, stop wasting time and come in, we're wasting valuable rest time."
Today was special, all the vassals in the house would be working half a day, but the rest of the day would be used to celebrate a birthday for a certain person.
The vassals entered and followed the butler, after a while they arrived at a sliding door, which inside had a huge party room.
All the servants of the mansion were gathered.
Although they were smiling, they did not enjoy being here.
It was all due to the people in the center, who were standing in front of a huge mountain of gifts.
"Happy birthday, Rei-chan!"
"Happy fifth birthday, my heir!"
The lord of this land as his wife, were congratulating a boy, who was dressed in his best clothes.
He had a mountain of gifts and a feast of sweets just for him, but─
"How boring this is~."
The boy stood up and started kicking the presents.
"But what is this junk? As soon as I touch it, it breaks!"
"Useless junk, take it, take it."
The black-haired boy started kicking all the presents and then grabbed a sword and chopped them with glee.
"Hahaha, this is more fun, it really is."
The servants murmur at this despicable act for a five-year-old.
"Despite being so small, it's so disgusting."
"I can't believe that little maniac is the future lord of these lands."
"I want to resign, but my family can't live anywhere else but here, we don't pay taxes and so we can live well."
After a while, the boy finished smashing everything, then he turned around and everyone could see his charming smile.
"That was heartwarming, it was a great gift."
"Although I don't approve of you destroying what I bought, I'm glad you enjoyed them in a way."
"Rei-chan is a good boy, but he doesn't know how to express that creativity and energy he has."
"Bored. I'm hungry, give me something to eat."
Said the boy as he kicked the floor.
The cooks started handing out the cake and food.
◇◇◇
"Come on, neigh!"
*Whinny*
"Hahahaha, how funny."
The boy was riding the back of a servant, he was an old man, despite having problems with his back.
The boy didn't mind, he even kicked his ribs as if he was a horse.
"Rei-chan, don't be hard on him."
"I think a horse would have been better than a person, but it's your birthday, enjoy it."
The parents thought the servant was laughing, which was not the case.
◇◇◇
"Fuaah~ it was a good day today!"
Night fell, the boy ate dinner and without brushing his teeth came to bed.
He threw his shoes against a newly built bookcase.
The room was a pigsty, despite cleaning it every day, he always ended up smashing everything again.
"Let's see what I can play with before bedtime."
The boy brought the gifts that were not destroyed to his room.
As he went through each one, he found an odd one, a leather bag.
"This is the only one without a wrapper... it doesn't smell like excrement, but if it's a joke, I'll have the family of the one who gave this to me executed."
He opened the bag, and various precious stones lay inside.
"Horrible."
"This is ugly."
"It looks like a fungus."
All the stones he categorized as hideous but one.
"Huh? This one here doesn't look bad at all."
He pulled out a shiny, beautiful blue stone, its shape and size identical to a chicken egg.
"It's very pretty, tomorrow I'll throw it into the river of the neighboring territory to see how much it bounces back."
At that moment, it was where what he never expected, happened.
"Don't you dare throw me, you little shit!"
The boy rubbed his eyes with his sleeve.
"I must be so tired I'm starting to hear things."
"Hearing? You mean you can hear me right?"
"I must stop eating sweets, no doubt."
"Hey, you can hear me!"
The boy's face gradually towards a panicked expression and that happened.
"Uwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"
Quick footsteps approached and a maid opened the door.
"Is there a problem young master Reidel?"
"Huh?! Did you say Reidel?!"
"You heard it, it said my name!"
"Huh?"
"I'm sorry, but the only voice I heard was yours, are you all right? Should I call the doctor?"
"... She can't hear me?"
"There it is again! The rock is talking to me!"
The maid looked for a moment with a face of displeasure at the child, who was trembling with fear.
"I think eating too much candy makes you see things, a little water and a nap will fix it."
"You think so?"
"Yes, I'll get you right away."
The maid went to get water, the boy was left alone.
Or so he thought.
"Hey, if you can hear me, can't you?"
"You're not real, you're just hallucination!"
Said the boy as he hid behind his desk, the magic stone was on the floor.
When it "spoke" a slight glow emitted.
"... What's your name?"
"You're not real!"
"In that case let me guess... you're Rei, aren't you?"
"...!"
(I guessed it.)
Kurono Ichiru's soul lying inside this magic stone understood his situation.
(There's no doubt, I'm definitely in that game.)
(After all, there is no character that has his same characteristics.)
In front of Kurono, he saw a hidden boy, his clothes were elegant but his appearance was not.
His black hair was messy, which made it look like its red ends were tomato sauce that fell on him.
His body was plump for such a small boy.
His face had a bad expression, which was overshadowed by his bright red eyes like volcanic rock.
This boy was Rei─ Reidel Redblade, the only son and heir of Duke Redblade of the Brune Kingdom, besides that... he was the grotesque villain who tormented the members of the protagonist's harem.
(I was in doubt at first, but after hearing everything he did and seeing him react to that name. No doubt about it, he's Reidel!)
(But how did I end up with him?)
... (Moment... if I remember correctly, in the presentation of his character, he had a ribbon tie which integrated a─)
"A fucking blue stoneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"
"Aah, it spoke again!"
Despite the fact that he couldn't move, Kurono was screaming so much that he made his "body" shine like a flashlight.
"Don't fuck with me again god scum!"
"You made me wake up in the attachment of a future trash lord!"
"Mom! Dad! The rock is talking to me!"
"Ah, you shut up too!"
"...!"
With that shout, Reidel─ Rei froze in a corner.
"Let me think what I can do in this situation."
Kurono tried to understand how he ended up like this.
"Certainly that failed god made me end up here, but we're talking about me being the accessory used by the tutorial's villain."
Reidel in the game was a background character almost the entire first year of the academy in the game.
His day to day life was to annoy, harass and even try to rape the members of the harem of the protagonist, but at the end of the first school year, he was defeated.
"I could verify that it was you, that means that the prince and the cult are also real."
"The cult?"
Rei asked still scared.
"Yeah, well, I'll explain later. Listen carefully, I'll only tell you once."
"I am... god! The game god, Kurono Ichiru!"
"Huh! God exists!"
"Of course it exists you idiot! Do you think the world was created by a galactic gas by any chance? Everything is the work of a god, it doesn't make sense that there wasn't one! It's a very horrible script hole that there is no god!"
"... I-I don't understand anything you're saying."
"It doesn't matter. Come."
Rei walked towards the blue stone.
"Listen, I know your future. And it's a horrible future where you will be killed in the most painful and cruel way possible."
"Really!"
"Yes. That's why I came to help you and that's why only you can hear me."
(Actually I don't think it was for that reason that I woke up in here. But it's true that I need it, I don't know if anyone else can hear my voice, but I can't miss this chance to get allies.)
"Rei, there are some really bad, bad guys out there. They call themselves the Cult of the Goddess of Death."
"Or also known as the Entourage of Ereshkigal."
"Sounds like a really weird name."
"It is, but it doesn't matter. This world is in danger, those lunatics want to create a world of pain and death, and only we can stop them. That's why I came to this world!"
"To save them! To help you Rei! I'll make you become the most famous hero and living legend in the whole world!"
"S-Seriously!"
Rei's eyes were shining brighter than the talking blue stone.
"That's right! Since you will fulfill my dream─ every hero's dream! You're going to be very rich, famous and above all─!"
Even without having a mouth, Kurono's soul looked happy as he said the following.
"You'll have the best harem in the world! Lots and lots of beautiful women at your disposal! Aren't you happy!!!!!"
"Huh? What do I want women for? Will I have a lot of dirty laundry by any chance?"
"You asshole! You'll thank me when you have hair down there and every morning your flag goes up!!!!"
"... How disgusting that sounds."
"You idiot boy! I'll make you the biggest cheat hero of them all!"
"That's why we're going on a diet tomorrow! You're going to slim down that pork belly of yours! Women don't want men who look like orcs, and it's not because I've been through something like that!"
And with that, the experience of Rei and Kurono, the protagonist and the villain, began.
◇◇◇
"Hey, what did you say?"
"As I said, the young master wants a plate of greens and vegetables."
The next morning, Rei told a servant that his breakfast be a nutritious one, so he would only eat vegetables and greens instead of meats and pasta.
The head cook had a bad expression.
"What does that brat want vegetables for? The last time I serve him that he used them to throw at the knights."
"I don't know, he just said that."
After clicking his tongue, the cook said.
"We live in a crisis as the crop fields are suffering losses and that idiot kid just wants to play."
After a while, the cook brought him a plate of steamed vegetables and vegetable soup.
Rei was in the dining room, sitting at a long table as if hundreds of guests were present.
The cook with his forced smile handed him his breakfast.
Rei commented something that left him puzzled.
"Will this really make me strong?"
"Of course it will, vegetables and greens have lots of vitamins and nutrients, so stop complaining fat belly and eat, you won't be able to get a body of the gods if you don't lose weight."
"... Muuh."
With that sound just like a cow, Rei took the fork and then a broccoli, put it in his mouth and started chewing it.
"It tastes horrible, I don't want it!"
"Stop complaining or you won't be able to get my cheating skills!"
"... It tastes horrible."
With tears streaming down his face, Rei started chewing the vegetables.
The cook watched him and only wondered one thing.
(Who is he talking to?)
◇◇◇
"Haah... haah..."
Around noon, a butler was cleaning the windows.
After finishing polishing all the windows on the fourth floor, he saw something strange.
"Huh?"
"Haah... haah..."
Rei was walking.
No. Correct would be to say he was jogging.
He had tied several wooden boards to a rope and proceeded to run around the courtyard of the mansion.
The butler who had a bead of sweat on his forehead did not understand what he was seeing, a maid passing by saw him and asked.
"What do you observe?"
The butler answered what he sees.
"Hey, is that real?"
"What thing? ... Ah, that."
"Since yesterday he's gotten weird. He doesn't ask for any food other than vegetables or greens anymore, sweets are going to be eaten by insects at this rate.
"Hey, has he been eating healthy lately?"
"Yes. And now he's exercising, has he caught any diseases?"
"Who knows."
The maid went on her way, but the butler thought.
(Did something happen yesterday to make him run now?)
◇◇◇
"I can't take it anymore..."
Rei finished tired, it's only been two days since he started his weight loss training.
"I don't want to exercise anymore! I don't want to!"
Since yesterday, the blue stone rests on his tie in the shape of a ribbon. It was the only way to keep close to Kurono.
Who tells him that he is a god.
But that's a lie, it was the first thing he said to make him believe in him.
"Stop complaining, tomorrow we'll get up earlier to run as soon as the sun rises. As I can't sleep I'll wake you up! If you don't listen to me, I'll curse you!"
"You are a very cruel god!"
"I'm the most super god of all gods! Don't underestimate my abilities, brat! Now go to sleep."
With those words, Rei went to sleep, but Kurono couldn't do it since he didn't have a body.
"I have ten years to make you the best puppet in the world. I don't care about your future, I'll leave you when someone manages to hear my voice. After all, you are the tutorial villain.
It has been half a year since Rei and Kurono met. Someone was hanging around the mansion. "Haah! Haah!" From very early in the morning, before the sun rose, Rei was running. His body slimmed down and was now slim, his legs for a child's were getting stronger. At first he couldn't even run a lap without fainting, but now he could run 800 laps and still keep running. He had several buckets of water in different areas so that when he felt tired, he could drink it. When he reached the 1000th lap. The workout was over. "Fuaah~ that sure was a lot of exercise!" He took a towel which he laid down on a board, then lay down on the grass to rest, Kurono spoke to him as Rei enjoyed this moment. "It certainly was. In just half a year you have exceeded my expectations, well done Rei." "That's par for the course, I'm a Duke's son." (Although if I'm not mistaken, in the game the protagonist was the adop
"Cheat Skill: Super Strong Earth Wall!" It's been a week since Rei learned how to use cheat skills. His situation with cheat magic is regular, there are times where he exceeds expectations and others where he almost dies, like what he does now. "Uwaah!" He created a wall of earth despite he said wall, the wall was so big that it grew a kilometer and is almost crushed by the earth removed. "It was dangerous." "It was without a doubt, but there's no time to waste Rei, let's keep practicing." "Yes!" *Roar* Rei's good cheer was interrupted by an enemy impossible to defeat, hunger. "My stomach is growling, it's time to eat." Rei had been training for a couple of hours, he brought his lunch by the time this happened. But Kurono was in a bad mood. That was because of the food Rei brought. It was some pork sandwiches with chicken with lettuce and tomato. When he prepared t
Five years have passed since then. The territory of the Redblade Duchy has improved a lot. The commoners' houses that were once made of wood and thatch were now made of brick. The officials and knights who had their families living here also improved their houses. The difference between the house of a commoner and a Redblade vassal was the size of the dwelling. The streets were paved so to speak. In the center of the city, which was now a large shopping plaza, a huge fountain was the most touristy place in the whole territory for now. Because of the beautiful design of a wailing mermaid, couples gathered around to eat or rest. The air was also pleasant as rot or waste no longer smelled in the streets. There was sewerage. There was clean water. There was even a schedule for picking up garbage and destroying it so as not to pollute. But that's not all, also the farms and crops in the territ
"Well, how do you spell this?" "It's spelled..." It had been a few days since Rei met Rose. She was learning the Kingdom's spelling with Walter. Everyone already knows that she is the assistant to the future lord of these lands, so, if anything happens to her, their heads will roll. "Err, where is Reidel-sama?" "The young Master is meeting with a visitor right now, is it something important you should say?" "N-No... I just wanted to know if we would eat lunch together." "It won't be long now, so I'm sure we will." "Hahahahaha!" A laugh came from another room, there stood Rei with Harold. ◇◇◇ "This is the best!" "Yes. The profits due to the new product are high, as agreed, your half." Harold handed Rei a chest, when he opened it, he found a large pile of gold coins. "You have 1000 gold coins, you can count them if you wish." "No, I trust you, so I know they
Five years have passed since that incident. The kingdom has undergone various changes thanks to Rei and Rose, both of whom have been killing corrupt nobles who were attempting against the duchy. To make it even more heroic, a group of knights were currently spying on a casino. Not just any casino, but one that operates clandestinely in broad daylight. Where in addition to gambling and enjoying exotic alcoholic beverages, it is also a nest where drug traffickers, illegal purchase and sale of weapons of the republic, and even where requests for kidnapping or murder are carried out. The Kingdom is unaware of this thanks to the owner's undercover conspirators. A man known in the underworld as the "Black King", a figure who never shows his face and always moves under the table. ... Or so it was supposed to be. "Could it be that one?" "It must be. We've seen everyone going in and out of there every day for several weeks."
It was evening in the duchy.The duke and his wife were having a romantic dinner as husband and wife."Well, how was it?""Delicious!"They were both feeding each other with their own fingers."This is the best romantic dinner ever, honey!""Hahaha, it's not the best as there will be many more like this to come, my beloved."The wife looked at him with moist loving eyes."Do you love me that much?""I would never trade this moment for anything in the world.""My~, what a sweet husband you are.""And you the most beautiful woman in the world."A pink aura surrounded them as they approached.The romantic moment was stopped by Reidel who came in kicking the door.He turned on the light and the candles were still burning."Mother, father! Stop what you're doing right now! I have something important to announce!"Rei's mother became annoyed and pouted."Moo! Rei-chan! Yo
Today was a special morning, it is because today is the start of chapter one of the game.In the original game which was a dating simulator, there was no such thing as chapters, just the prologue and followed by the first day at the academy.There was a total of one year's worth of days.That was the length of the plot, but now that it became an eroge, they added more things.First of all, the chapters are divided into three. The first is the arc of the principality, the second chapter of the republic and the third and final chapter is the empire.These represent the three years of the academy.There is a fourth chapter that happens after the third, it is of enjoying your harem with gratifying scenes of impregnating each of them.That chapter is the one I'm least interested in for one reason only and that is..."Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Harder please!"Unlike yesterday when they had me locked in the crate, this
"As you may know, magic is the purest state of strength in the world.""For that reason, there are many humans who are born with the ability to be able to use it, among those humans long ago the social state developed.""We have three social states. Commoners, knights and aristocrats.""Commoners have no rank and no magic power either, but some of them are born with the ability to use it, that's why they are adopted by noble families.""Knights are considered semi-nobles since they possess a surname, but they do not possess a territory or property or resources, that being the reason for the treatment of being only vassals of noble families.""Now with the nobles, there are six types as you may know. From the highest to the lowest they are: duke, marquis, count, viscount, baron and baronet.""Now, who will explain to me how one rises in rank?"It has been a couple of days since the academy started, the month was the end of January.
Greetings from Siegburn, your favorite author dear readers. It gives me great pleasure to officially inform you that the novel of Cheat Lord has reached the halfway point. That's right, half of the story has been reached! It's similar to Ixion where we also reached the halfway point of the story, only Re:Otome would be missing so that all my works would be halfway. Did you think that Kurono would remain a stone forever? Obviously I'm not a crappy author to do that XD. You guys after reading various things in my works that happened, you would have to have known that Kurono would have a body one day, but no one imagined that I would use a monster as a vessel XD. Could I have done it before? Yes. Why didn't I do it? I didn't want to do it, I wanted it to happen like this. Why a chimera? Because I wanted something crazy non-human for what Kurono will do. As you could see, we put aside R18 to focus on secondary and character development. Rei is growing up little by little, we are
A new morning has arrived already. I managed to get a body, it's not human, but I can make it look like one. I discovered this while fiddling around. First, keeping this form consumes approximate 40% of my powers, since even the smallest detail copied it from my original body from my memories. Second, I am never hungry. I can eat, but feel no interest in consuming food. Third, I do not need to sleep, but I can briefly disconnect my consciousness and appear to have slept for hours, it works like a stopwatch. And finally, I do not possess any limbs. That's right, I'm just like the dolls for little girls. Isn't this sad? I had to recreate everything, but it doesn't work. I want to cry, I have no use for a gun which not only doesn't have a bullet, it can't shoot either. As a man I am a failure, but well, I can't cry over spilled milk. After I got up, a maid knocked on the door. "Kurono-sama, please wake up, it's time for breakfast." Rei's bastard told everyone to call me Kuro
"... Well... do you have anything to say?" I was being lectured by Rei. How did this happen? Well it turns out that after I cast that huge magic power into the sky, a part of the palace was wiped out. I got so scared thinking that I could kill someone. I used the "invisibility" skill to check for injuries. I almost had a heart attack when I saw it... or I had one, but since this body is not human the heart attack could have happened and I didn't feel it. I was thinking of committing seppuku just like the samurai when I heard that all this was caused by a monster. I stayed all day at the palace gathering information. As night fell I heard how the palace would raise taxes to repair the castle. Then when almost everyone went to sleep, I knocked out some guards and used my powers to rebuild the place. After that I hid for three days in the forest, the knights were looking for traces of possible accomplices. I got so scared that I looked like a bear in its cave. After three day
After ending the chaos with what happened to Klyde, the servants, knights and ministers proceeded to search for wounded. The deceased would be given a burial and their families would be rewarded for their brave sacrifice. As Rei searched for injured people, he encountered someone unexpected. "Max!" He found his cousin trying to run away. He turned around and saw Rei. He ran out after seeing him, Rei went after him, after grabbing him, he choked him. "You... do you have any idea the trouble you've gotten yourself into?" "They're treating you as his accomplice! They're going to execute you if they find you." "... Fault." "...?" Rei heard a small murmur, Max lifted his face and looked at his cousin with a hate-filled gaze. "It's all your fault!" 'If you hadn't ruined my future! The duke's title that belonged to me! I wouldn't have gone near that guy!" "It's your fault it ended up like this!" *Punch* Rei slapped Max's cheek. He looked at him with a nasty expression. "I'll
Rei's plan to defeat Klyde's clones was simple. They would have the six copies fall into the water fountain, Sieghart is the one who would be in charge of grouping them, Darius would throw them with his spear and Rei would arrange for the water to wet them all and thus use a necessary skill to defeat them. It was dangerous because they could die. It was ridiculous because nothing was guaranteed to work. But for Rei, this was the only plan he could think of. Thanks to the past events of his fight against Calvin, Rei understood that sometimes his powers won't work to defeat impossible enemies. Sometimes it will be necessary to ask for help and rely on others. Unlike the past, where the first person he trusted was the one who taught him how to use the sword, and then betrayed him with the knowledge that he sold children, including a little Eli, he was filled with pure hatred for liars. Rei did not trust people because they lied, it was as if a part of him was still a child. But n
In the hall of ministers were the king and queen. They were scared, they heard that a monster came out from under the palace and is coming up screaming that it wants their heads. They could run away, but they had no idea if it might have allies waiting in hiding. Thanks to a servant shouting that Sieghart had arrived, they felt safe. But the queen looked at a certain person with a bad expression. "My dear, is Sieghart sure about not coming to defend us?" The king who understood why she said so answered her. "Olga, we need Sieg to take care of defeating the intruders. That's why you sent him to protect us in the meantime." "I understand that, but... him?" Said the queen pointing her nose at Bret who stood in the center of the place. Bret thought as he looked at the door and a booger ran down his nose. (Why does this always happen to me?) (For some reason they get me involved in something I can't handle and now that I thought I would be calm at the border they drag me to this
The battle between Kurono and Regnas was about to begin. Regnas was very angry with Kurono, killed his men, destroyed his plan and now pulverized his favorite sword. He had many motives to kill them. But he was a barbarian. Someone who was born in a hostile territory make children fight against huge monsters. If the child survives, it becomes a warrior. But if doesn't survive, it's just manure. Such were their laws. Regnas grew up as the second strongest, always surpassed by the current king who disappeared. He doesn't know what happened to him, but he was thankful he was gone. Now he has a free way to do his own thing. Regnas joined the cult to gain power, he was blessed with the name Berserk. After remembering his reasons for being here, he marched straight to Kurono. "I'll kill you quickly to make sure to accomplish at least me with the mission!" Kurono thought as he saw him coming. (Come to think of it. How should I deal with this guy?) (I don't know what kind of str
"The first time I died, I was in a dark place." "There was nothing, just darkness." "I cried for help, I begged for rescue." "No one came to help me." "But at that moment... a warm light came right at me." "It was a dark light from which a woman in a black dress and skeleton-like appearance greeted me." "She said 'Your time has not come, but you are not someone normal either. I will not allow you to die until you have achieved your goal. Go on living and experiencing a life of joy to achieve your desire, I wish to see you one day and that you have achieved it'." "That's what she said." Klyde was telling strange things to the official who was taking down everything he said. He couldn't believe it. (This guy... he's completely insane!) He couldn't believe his ears. The official said. "Hey, we have to inform the king that this guy is crazy. I don't know if we can condemn someone in such a deranged state of mind." Despite the official saying that, Klyde didn't stop. "I knew
Dear readers, the day I had told you so much about has arrived. The big surprise, I don't want to say any more. Just that you enjoy it and that we are entering the final stretch of the volume. _____________ The next morning something unexpected happened. Rei took Ange-chan for a walk. After she got up, they went to have a bunch of pancakes for breakfast. After that they went horseback riding. Then they went beetle catching. It wasn't just today, this went on for quite a while. About a week. I kept asking Rei why he was doing this, but he wouldn't answer me. Now the two of them were eating ice cream again. Ange-chan was looking at her ice cream with a lost look. Rei asked her. "Is something wrong?" She was quiet and then asked him something disturbing. "Rei onii-chan. why are you being so nice to me for a while now?" "...Is it necessary for me to answer?" "Yes." Rei was thoughtful before answering. "I'm going to kill your dad tomorrow." "...!" Both Ange-chan and I
