I’ve Been Reincarnated as a Villainess’s Older Brother - Chapter 113

Translator: NovelMultiverse | Editor: NovelMultiverse

On the morning of the third day, Cain left the tent alone to go running.

The knight, who is not on duty, yawns and watches Cain run in the distance, just barely out of sight.

Cain feels the cool air in his lungs and his brain clearing up. He was now realizing that he had had a very effective conversation with Ilvaleno during the run to help him organize his thoughts.

(In the second prince’s route in the neighboring country of De Magia, he’s advised to marry Diana from the diplomatic point of view of both countries, but the second prince declines to marry Diana in order to marry the hero and recommends his brother prince, right?)

Gianluca had no objection to his brother becoming king, and he seemed to be a boy who could stand up to his brother. Rather than forcing a mean daughter on my brother, it’s more fitting now to say that it was to gain his brother’s connections and backing.

Julian is a boy with an adolescent brain who tries to get girls into his room whenever he has the chance, but he also tries to preserve the essence of tradition, goes down to the city of the royal capital to shop, joins the people to eat food from food stalls, and understands the significance of the Flower Festival. It is clear that as the future king, he is thinking about the country in his own way.

From Cain’s point of view, they are both good kids.

No matter how you look at it, Julian likes Sillylea. 

The girls with big boobs who try to bring him into the room probably don’t have any deep thoughts, considering that they will leave as soon as Cain gets annoyed, and he is probably just thinking, “I can’t be rude to them because he asked me out, and maybe I can rub their boobs if I want to.

Cain wondered if he would not have taken such a careless step if it were not for the rule that he had to take the queen’s side.

Even for Gianluca, maybe he feels a sense of guilt toward himself for having been born with magical powers but having to live in this country with them restricted.

Perhaps the reason why he was attracted to the girl who came to study abroad in Remut Blake and asked him to learn about the cultural differences with her was because of the liberating feeling of coming to a country where magic does not have to be restricted.

(I’m definitely planning to return to Remut Blake in three years, so it could be at the same time as Gianluca’s study abroad. Maybe I could be the one to do the guiding of the school and teaching about the culture, as well as crushing any contact with the main character.)

Today is the last day of the inspection for the transfer of the capital. When everyone wakes up, we will fold up our tents and head back to the capital.

We have four days until school starts after we return, so we will study the textbooks that Maddy and the others will give us. It is about time to receive a letter from Diana, and I must write to Diana about my ride on the flying dragon and other things.

I also received a note from Parepantol asking me to write to my parents and to Prince Al, so I will have to prepare a proper letter for them as well.

Cain is also busy with the rest of his vacation.

“Cain. I’m coming with you!”

After circling around and coming back near the tent, Gianluca called out to Cain. We started running side by side, smiling and laughing.

“Good morning, Gianluca. You’re up early.”

“Good morning, Cain. Yesterday, I heard from a knight that Cain was running early in the morning. I thought I should join you.”

Cain slowed his running speed a little and matched his breathing with Gianluca’s.

“Cain. Will this running also help to increase the power of your magic?”

When the tent was far enough away, Gianluca looked at Cain with sparkling eyes and asked him this question.

Cain looked at Gianluca’s face and chuckled, then turned his face in the direction he was going and continued running.

“It doesn’t help with magic, but it does help in situations where magic is used.”

Gianluca lowered his eyebrows and made a troubled face. He still tried his best to think for himself, even turning his gaze upward at an angle, but he still could not understand what Cain was saying.

“Magic affects invisible powers such as energy and concentration, but it has no effect on physical strength. Even an old man who is bedridden and unable to move a single step can use magic if he has enough energy.”

“Is that so? Then why are you running?”

It was almost time to lose sight of the tent, so I made a gentle curve as I ran.

Tracing the white line of the magic circle, I aim for the opposite edge of the circle.

“If you run out of magic, you will pass out, and even if you have little left, you will be drowsy. Therefore, the purpose is to hit the enemy with your goop, which does not require the use of magic. It takes a lot of energy to hit an enemy with goop.”

“Eh…? What?”

Cain shows how he moves, shuffling and pulling back his clenched fist as if he were shadow boxing. Gianluca tried to imitate him by thrusting his goo hand forward as he ran, but even as he jogged, he didn’t feel like he could defeat a magical beast with this punch.

“I was joking.”

“Cain?”

Cain stops shadow boxing, while Gianluca looks up at him with a puzzled face.

“You saw how I myself went down yesterday when I blew away that pack of monsters, didn’t you? If you make your legs and feet strong, you can stand your ground in such a situation. Also, I can use fire magic to escape when a fire breaks out, or to escape from in front of an opponent whom I tried to use magic on but couldn’t win.”

“Are you saying that the situations in which magic is used are dangerous in the first place?”

“You are very quick in understanding, Gianluca. Also, magic power is stored in the body, so the bigger your body is, the more magic power you have. It makes sense to build up one’s physical strength and train one’s body so that one can grow into a larger body in the future.”

“I see.”

Gianluca ran next to Cain, trying to stretch his back while running on his toes only, and stretching his arms upwards in a giggle. This may have been Gianluca’s own effort to stretch his back as much as possible.

Cain’s eyes narrowed, the corners of his mouth lifted, and he gently patted Gianluca’s head once.

“They say if you put on too much muscle while you’re still small, you won’t grow taller. Just make sure you don’t overdo it with the muscle training.”

“Oh really? I will be careful.”

Gianluca hurriedly pulled back his arms, which were stretched out as if he was stretching, and resumed running on his tiptoes to a normal running style. Seeing this, Cain covered his mouth with his hand and shook his shoulder.

When we got back near the tent, we slowed down and did a cool down run back to the tent where we were sleeping.

Julian was sitting in the middle of the tent in a daze.

“He didn’t say he didn’t want to run, but I’m sure he’d like to.”

“I asked you when you were in the dormitory, and you refused, saying that you had to sleep in the morning.”

Julian did not like being left out of the group. I couldn’t bear to wake him up because he was sleeping so comfortably, and I had invited him to go for a run when he happened to be awake in the dormitory, but he had refused, so Cain had left him sleeping.

“All you have to do today is clean up and go home. I want you to put away your own stuff in the tent.”

“Yes, sir.”

“Yes, Master Julian.”

The knight blows a high-pitched whistle, just barely audible.

A flying dragon flew in from the distance and landed in the magic circle.

Once the compact tents and camping gear were loaded onto the dragon, all that remained was to return home.

“We didn’t forget anything, did we?”

When Julian called out to him, Cain turned around and just looked at the expanse of land, the white line drawn on it, and the forest spreading out beyond.

He had brought only one bag with change of clothes. He had not forgotten anything.

On the back of the flying dragon, he arrived at the dormitory in the royal capital still on the same day. Perhaps it was because he had seen the road before, but he felt that the return trip was quicker than the way there.
