I’ve Been Reincarnated as a Villainess’s Older Brother - Chapter 107

Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse

After a long night.

Cain woke up at about the same time at dawn, as was his usual habit, and quietly went outside to avoid waking Julien and Gianluca, who were sleeping in the same tent.

There was a slight haze in the air, probably due to the flat land surrounded by forest. The air was cold, and when he took a deep breath, also his lungs felt cold and he awoke with a sharp sensation.

“A friend of the Royal Highness. You are early.”

“Good morning. I usually wake up around this time, so I got up out of habit.”

Outside the tent, the knight, who was not on duty, was sitting on a chair drinking a cup of cold fruit tea. The firewood was almost completely extinguished, with only the occasional small ember glowing red. It was no longer possible to boil water.

Cain rinsed the dishes he had left out lightly with water magic and poured two cups of hot fruit tea. His hands were soaking wet.

“You can take one if you like. It’s cold in the morning.”

“Oh, thank you, Your Highness’ friend. Magic comes in handy, doesn’t it?”

The knight accepted it with open arms, blew on it with a puff of air, and then gently took a sip. After swallowing, he breathed a sigh of relief and looked relaxed.

Cain also took a sip of the drink while letting it cool down.

“I run every morning, is it okay if I go for a run around here?”

“In case you’re wondering, no magical beasts appear above this magic circle, so you can run as far as you can see inside.”

“Thank you.”

After gulping down the fruit tea, which had cooled down considerably and was now ready to drink, Cain put the cup on the table, did a light preparatory movement, and started running.

He ran at his usual pace, making sure to keep the tent at the edge of his field of vision. It was late March, but the air was much colder than in King’s Town, perhaps because the area is located north of the city. My body temperature rose as I ran, but the air felt nice and cold as it brushed my skin and flowed backward.

(Well, surveying the cursed land. That’s just too much rock for me.)

I turn inside the circle just as the tent is out of sight if I go any further. A white line is drawn straight ahead at my feet.

(But I wouldn’t be convinced if I said, “I can’t do this without doing anything…”)

Cain was a salesman in a previous life. He knows from experience that when a customer makes an unreasonable proposal, saying “I can’t do it” or “It’s impossible” immediately will lead to complications. He would say, “I’ll take it back with me,” or “I’ll consider it,” and then he would explain that another company had the same thing, or that someone had done the same thing before and it didn’t work.

(In the meantime, would you suggest that we do as much research as we can, state our guesses, and then ask for help from Remote Blake?)

I don’t know if it’s okay to divulge to other countries about this place called the land of the cursed humans. It’s not like it’s a secret that should be kept under tight control since they brought Cain, who is just a foreign student.

(Also, what is a witch? Since Diana uses dark magic, it wouldn’t be surprising if she was nicknamed “witch” and bullied. (It is unthinkable that a development company that was so intent on making Diana look like a witch would leak such a tasty setting.)

I walk back to the front of the tent. I bow to the non-sleeping knight and passed by.

(Should I write to Professor Tirunoa and ask him about the witches? Or Mr. Iannis if it’s in the history… (I’d have to check with Julien to see if I can ask him about that too…)

Cain was running, thinking in a state of agony. Read the most updated version of this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at Novel Multiverse – “NovelMultiverse dot com”

As he was running, he lost track of how many laps he had completed, when Julien yelled at him, “How long are you going to keep running? Breakfast is ready!”

Julien usually talks in a deliberately theatrical manner, perhaps trying to appear royalty, but sometimes he comes across as a real person. Cain stopped running, probably because he was hungry, and walked slowly around the tent three times before returning to Julien and Gianluca.

“Good morning. Julien, good morning Gianluca.’

“Good morning, Cain.”

“Good morning, Cain.”

Breakfast consisted of bread slices grilled over a re-stoked fire and thinly sliced meat left over from yesterday’s meal. The sliced meat was neither smoked nor dried, so it could not be eaten like bacon with bread…

“Dear Julien, what are your plans for today? You said three days at first, so we’re going to stay another night, right?”

“Mm. The knights will continue to investigate the areas and types of magical beasts that appear. At the same time, we will investigate this magic circle and the surrounding area. We are counting on you, Cain.”

(Oh, I knew it.)

“Please teach us magic again, Cain, while we continue our investigation.”

“Yes, with pleasure, Gianluca.”

When Cain was about to make fruit tea after the meal, Julien brought a bowl-like utensil that looked like a rice bowl and told him to put it over here.

When Cain filled the bowl with hot water, Gianluca stirred the honey-soaked fruit from the jar into the bowl and then divided it into cups.

The hot water did not spill onto the table.

“Master Julien. What kind of person is a witch?”

“I have heard that they were magical beings, but I have also heard that they were all women. But it’s said that they are terrifying.”

“What do you mean by terrifying?”

“I don’t know.”

“Huh?”

As the knights were taking turns eating, Cain and the others took their time to enjoy after-meal tea. The main topic of conversation was the exchange of information about the inspection tour.

“There are not many documents left, but there is a tradition that it was a terrible place, and because this grassless land is still there, people say that witches are still living there.”

“Uhh.”

Cain crossed his arms and wrinkled his brow. It’s probably best not to believe that the witches are cursed or terrifying.

“Julien, are witches a matter of state secrecy?”

“Mm-hmm?”

“I will find out all I can about this magic circle. But I probably won’t be able to come to a conclusion that will meet your expectations. The magic of Remote Blake is activated by chanting a spell, but the magic circle is not used. I don’t know anything about this magic circle..”

“…not at all.”

“I would like to ask for your wisdom if it is possible to write to the master of magic Remote Blake and ask him to teach me. But if the information is forbidden to leave the country, I’m afraid that’s not going to happen.”

Before you leave the country, depend on an adult! I was told to do so, so I decided to rely on Cain here. Cain has the cheat performance of being a target of attack for his efforts, but this is only to the extent that it is enough to make girls fall in love with him and protect them. There is no way he can solve problems at the national and historical levels.

“The existence of witches is not actively publicized, but it is not kept a secret either. The old people in the country know about it. The same for this land. It is not hidden. I don’t mind if you write to the master of magic and ask him about it.”

“Thank you.”

When he had finished drinking the fruit tea, the knight came to report to Julien that he was going to explore the forest. Read the most updated version of this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at Novel Multiverse – “NovelMultiverse dot com”
