Episode 38 – Brother and Sister

He said he had been fighting the disease recently, but there were no symptoms other than a little dizziness and nausea. Come to think of it, it’s a little similar to the symptoms of early pregnancy, but if someone hits the pregnancy drip next to me, I’ll kill them. Whether it’s magic or fists, you have to pluck out all the corn.

Around the time I was holding on to those odd thoughts, I heard a knock from outside. For some reason, the irregular knocking sound was annoying.

“I brought you a meal.”

“Come on in.”

A neatly dressed maid brought a serving cart and started serving food. Potato herb potage soup on the menu, cod and salmon terrine with fig jam and scones. The combination of the menus was a mess, but I decided to just endure it. Werner says he doesn’t like fish terrine, but he’ll eat it alone anyway, so there’s no need to worry about that detail.

I cut a little bit of terrine and put it in the pressure and mumbled it. It tasted sweet thanks to the fig jam, but lacked saltiness. When I drank a spoonful of the soup, it was bland.

I don’t know if it was the northern food or Glaceon’s taste, but the food overall was bland. Bechem, where I was, was quite south, so the food was not so bland as it was heavily seasoned with spices and salt. After eating bland food, I was craving ramen, except for Jinsoon. I will just eat the food prepared here at the bar to eat it.

I tore up a little scone and dipped it in potato potage soup and put it in my mouth, and it was fucking bland. Is the grand duke so poor? Why do you save so much salt?

“Haa… I’m full, so let’s take it.”

“But you haven’t even eaten half of it yet. You’d better eat a little more…”

“I’m sorry, but it’s because I’m usually the type of news.”

It’s a stomach full of five bowls of beef intestine stew and two chicken sandwiches from where you live. However, no matter how hungry you are, eating bland food like this will make your stomach bloated.

“But the lady told me to make sure that all meals are emptied so that Mr. Werner doesn’t collapse.”

Then I’ll make it a bit salty. But while living in someone else’s house, even interfering with food, it’s like the truth, so I just stay still. Isn’t it crazy to overturn the table and ask for proper food like Mr. Umihara from the cooking manga?

“Unfortunately, I’m not feeling well right now.”

I was going to win the Tyler award with nice words.

About that time, the door slammed open. Are you fucking Umihara? Or is it Glaceon mad at my unbalanced diet?

The people who opened the door were completely different from what I expected. It wasn’t Umihara-san or Glaceon.

“Werner!!!!!”

“You’re the youngest!!!!”

The Grand Duke of the North and the Vampire Queen have a couple of loud voices. The mansion reverberated as if the train firebox had been boiled every day. How did a soft and calm girl like Glaceon emerge from among those high-pitched radiation experts? Is this the mystery of the fucking biology or something?

“How long has it been since, maknae!!! It must have been 12 years!!!!”

Over there, a giant screaming whale the size of a whale is Melchior Winterheart. Glaceon’s father, former Grand Duke of the North, and the strongest warrior. In the game, his defense, stamina, and attack power were ignorantly high, so he was a hero often used as a tank and sub-dealer. When doing subjugation missions, there was nothing to be afraid of if only one dealer with perfect compatibility was attached.

“Maknae! Didn’t you miss my older sister?! That little boy has completely grown up!”

And the woman punching my back is Melissa Winterheart. Glaceon’s mother, the queen of vampires and one of the strongest wizards. Even though she has a glass body in the game, she was a queen who would pull out explosive damage with blood magic if she had a hero to support her. Perhaps because of that characteristic, her compatibility with her husband, Melchior, was the best. In addition to that, I would like to mention one special thing…

“Melchior-nim is still a muscle mass… Melissa-sister is still a kid.”

“Werner, do you want to search for your sister’s hands?”

The fact that he had the appearance of a very short kid. At first glance, she looked like a teenage girl, but she was a vampire who was hundreds of years old. Seeing the height difference between Melchior and Melissa, it was often the case that Melissa rode on Melchior’s shoulder while moving. Of course, he could fly as much as he was a vampire, but that was his preference.

“Anyway, it’s been a while. Brother and sister.”

“Yes, Werner! It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you!”

“Hyung-nim, please lower your voice… The maid over there passed out…”

The maid who had brought me a meal passed out, as if she had put on her inner strength and screamed. I wonder if that’s an alternative person’s voice?

“Ugh, you asshole! I told you to control your voice in front of people!”

“I’m sorry, Melissa… It’s nice to see our maknae after a long time, so stop…”

That big, muscular behemoth looking at his little wife half my height. Laughter leaked out because it was the same as a fan comic made by fans.

“Kuh…”

“What’s so funny about our youngest?”

“No, that’s funny, sister. A muscular giant over 2m tall is being scolded by a kid the size of a forearm… Oh shit.”

“Does my youngest like to drink?”

“Why not drink…?”

“Because my liver is swollen.”

Boom! With that sound, Melissa blew me away with her bloody fist. If a normal person had been hit, he would have been seriously injured, but since the target was Werner, it just ended in a mild pain.

“Your sister is still violent.”

“Anyway, youngest, I’ll say it again, I’m glad you’re back.”

I don’t think it’s something to say to a person by rubbing them with blood-made bamboo bread… but I thought it was a greeting between them. In the first place, these people are people who have gone through all of the prenatal trials, so this is probably aegyo.

“Yes, welcome to Northern Werner. Is this your first time in the North? Shall we take a look around with this older brother?”

Brother Melchior stood me up and brushed the dust off my clothes. After all, there was no bad person compared to his brother Carrick, who was muscular. Aren’t Helchang teachers who are muscular and full of muscles just by going to the gym? Of course, there are a few exceptions, but those guys were expelled from the National Hellsang Association.

“Yes, I missed my brother and sister. But… over there…”

“Maknae, did your older sister teach you that men don’t slurp their words?”

“Aren’t you angry? 12 years ago, I abandoned my older brother and my sister’s daughter and ran away.”

Even if it was me, it was torn to pieces in a thousand or ten thousand pieces. Even so, Melchior and Melissa laughed and patted me on the shoulder.

“Werner, did this older brother look narrow-minded enough to get angry over such a problem?

“Yes, rather, this older sister’s fault for not paying attention to you is big.”

These people… were really worried about Werner. I don’t know if it’s a previous life or a possession, but is it okay for me to feel this warmth after suddenly taking over Werner’s body?

I don’t know if this is family warmth. Werner and I both had no blood relatives. If only I could continue to feel this kind of warmth… I thought, surprisingly, that marriage wouldn’t be too bad. At the moment, someone in the stock gallery said, ‘Don’t do it.’ It sounded like he was screaming, but he decided not to care.

But since I was thinking about stocks, I thought of it. Wouldn’t that be a bitch now?

“By the way, Werner, what is this?”

Melchior looked at the remains of my meal and gave me a displeased look.

“Oh, that’s my meal… it doesn’t suit my taste…”

“Don’t you hate fish terrine? You hate herbs too…”

“Oh, so I left it…”

“To feed my little brother this food waste!!!!!”

Melchior’s angry voice resounded throughout the mansion, and it felt as if my eardrums would explode. No, sorry for the listeners… The food is a bit bland, but it’s not trash to that extent. It’s just that the food is so bad, it’s not trash.

“Hyung, don’t be too mean… It just doesn’t suit my taste…”

“That’s rubbish!”

What do you think about other people’s sense of taste? Are you treating dogs that don’t eat and Werner doesn’t eat as the same? I was trying to be a little upset.

Melissa grabbed the passing attendants and gave orders.

“Tell the chef to roast the goose right away, and that whole one, too.”

“And you go out and get some melons quickly. Tell them to make juice.

I was a little surprised. I saw it in the official booklet as Werner’s favorite food, but I thought there were people who actually remembered it… and those two with the simplest personalities. Besides, it was very surprising that Werner knew the food he disliked.

“Brothers and sisters, did you know my favorite food? No, we haven’t met in 12 years…”

“What kind of bullshit are you talking about, Werner? Of course, you know the youngest’s favorite food.”

“That’s right, I wonder if you don’t even know that the youngest likes goose meat after becoming an older sister?”

I was a little happy. I think these people really like Werner. Wouldn’t it be okay to live like this for a little while? I decided not to care about the other attendants or the chef who had to roll hard from now on.
