Chapter 141 - 141. Future Sister-in-Law

Breathing in the cold air, I climbed into the carriage.

Blanc was waiting for me in the carriage.

"Result?"

"..."

My ensuing silence replaced the answer.

"Hmm..."

Blanc looks at me in the carriage where there is silence.

"Why...?"

A cautious question that follows.

It was worth it.

Fortunately, the meeting was concluded right away, and since I can pay for it, it was normal to come after hearing the answer that I would do it even if it was not right away.

"Is there a curse that the saintess cannot heal...?"

"If it was like that, I would have been more comfortable."

As my words continue quietly, the carriage departs.

The world seen from outside the wagon.

Nothing had changed, but it never felt beautiful.

I thought it was a long time since I had been studying resentment towards the world.

Unfortunately, it seems that there was still more to complain about.

Rest your chin on your chin and stare out the window for a while.

Realizing that the silence was passing, I looked at Blanc, who was waiting for my answer.

To this, she opened her mouth.

"...It's complicated to explain, but it's impossible for a saintess to do it forcibly."

"Ha, what's the situation... Wouldn't it be better to confide in the cursed person first? Did you ask? I don't think that child would even know his physical condition."

"...I agree with that part. There's no way that Jeto, who has such excellent senses, wouldn't notice the energy he felt in his chest. But if I asked him? Would Jeto kindly tell me... Maybe he'd hide it. Because I hate worrying those around me."

Besides, Bernice was aware of Getto's curse. With this, the speculation that the identity of the energy in his body was a curse became true.

Even though he had already guessed, his head was pounding as he was confirmed.

"Okay...?"

"First of all, 'Jetto I knew' was like that."

It was past tense.

Although Blanc can't understand the 'real meaning' of these words.

Okay.

The Jetto I knew was like that.

Pretend you're okay

Pretend nothing is wrong.

His kind smile, which he showed me every time, came back to me as a bitter lie.

Jeto deceived me and dealt with the demons alone.

I lived and he died.

The world after 'that day' was very different from what I had dreamed of.

It was an incomplete world where only despair and regret remained.

At that time, I was incompetent.

And that... It doesn't look much different now.

Incompetent regressor.

That's me now

But if there's one benefit of being a regressor, it's that you're well aware that your current self-loathing won't help you.

Nothing changes if you don't move.

That was the world I lived in.

The terrible scars on his abdomen proved this.

"How to do it? If you know even that, the work will be easier. That's the problem, but..."

"I know. I know..."

For a curse that endangers a person's life, it was a really absurd way to heal it.

This curse, which seemed to come out of a fairy tale, no, it should have appeared in a real fairy tale, was so romantic that I couldn't think of it as a demonic curse.

A kiss with a loved one.

Wouldn't it be better to tell Jetto how to do it?

Even if it's Zeto, even if he knows he's cursed, he won't even know how to get rid of it.

Because that's what was written in the book.

For Zeto, who had gone blind, it was a path that would be difficult to figure out without confiding in someone.

She might have already accepted her own death if she had talked about it with her Saint Bernice, let alone her.

She's a curse that even a saint can't cure.

Isn't that terrible

'Then...'

...And the reason she brought her sisters to the academy.

Did you have this in mind?

I didn't feel the curse in the previous episode, and I had never brought my younger sisters to the academy.

Academy is safe.

I think I can fully understand the meaning of the words that I spat out indifferently.

"...Eisel."

"Huh?"

Blanc, who had been looking at me, smiled bitterly.

And it comes to me

She opens her arms and hugs me.

Why.

It was an embarrassing move.

So she fell into Blanc's arms, and it was only when she noticed that her clothes were getting wet that she knew why.

Fortunately, thanks to Blanc's consideration, she was able to regain her composure shortly after.

Wiping my wet eyes, I asked Blanc.

"Blanc..."

"Hmm?"

"Tell me how to kiss me."

"...Did I hear that wrong? What do you mean, Eisel...?"

Blanc doubts his ears.

"Ah."

Because I was in a hurry, I spoke without hesitation.

***

Jeto's younger sisters.

Ray and Zeppetti's existence quickly spread throughout the academy.

She was only one cadet's younger sister, so her status was not very special, but it was all because of Jeto's fame.

His outward features are also distinctive, and his achievements after entering the academy have piled up, to the point where voices are circulating within Innocence Academy that if you don't know Zeto, you're a demon.

Ray, who came to see her burial with Petty, was deeply embarrassed.

The whole world was Jetto.

No matter which store they went to, people recognized them.

'What is a blind saint...?'

Ray recalled the image of Jeto carelessly cleaning up the corpses of the demons.

Every element that made him was quite far from the saint.

That's how Jeppetti and Ray were buying ingredients for cooking at the market.

Ray didn't do anything special, but since he was stuck in the dormitory, he was bored and followed Petty around.

There was something that caught Ray's gaze and made her stop.

To Ray, who was crumpling her chubby cheeks against her windowpane, Je Petty spoke to her in her determined voice.

"It's not possible."

"...Don't you have enough money?"

"Useless consumption is prohibited."

A bright doll was placed in the glass window in front of Ray, who was shining in her eyes.

The doll was a rabbit doll that was in charge of Becky in Kobe and Becky.

"And if it's a doll, haven't you already brought it? There's also 'Shady', and it should be enough to hold and sleep with."

As Zeppetti said, Becky's doll was already there.

But Ray shook her head as if he didn't know what to do.

"Zepetti, you don't know much about the world of dolls yet, but this is not an 'ordinary' Becky. Isn't it written there? The word limited product."

"I don't feel much of a difference."

"I can tell. The texture of the fur is different."

Ray recognized the material of the doll through the window with the sharp senses of a hero.

That doll was a high-class Becky, unlike the many Beckies that had been poured out so far. Ray had no doubt that he would be able to sleep comfortably if he hugged it.

'I can't compare to Shady, but...'

Shady was out of the question.

However, when Jeto leaves the room, Shady also disappears.

So, it was to prepare for the moment when Shady's substitute was needed.

Limited sale.

Even there was only one quantity left.

Ray said he didn't bother to argue about how he ended up arguing with a girl over a doll.

For her right now, it was important whether or not she could get that doll in her hands.

"Zepetti."

"It's not possible."

To be savage, Zeppetti was always following Zeto, not Ray.

At that moment, someone in the store approaches the doll.

"Ah."

Was a competitor.

Approaching the doll, the woman put her hand on her doll without hesitation.

He was a bit taller than his competitors.

"It might be of interest to a child..."

The irony is that Ray, who was spitting out such words and keeping his competitors in check, wasn't particularly a child.

Ray raised his gaze from below.

The academy cadet's uniform, which is now completely familiar to the eye.

...The braided red hair I saw somewhere.

Soon after checking her woman's face, Ray meets her eyes.

"..."

"..."

We exchange glances through the window.

'...Was it Yuri Clementine?'

The one who picked up Becky's doll was none other than Jeto's friend, Yuri, whom she had met the other day.

'Zetto's younger brother...'

Yuri was embarrassed.

She was on the verge of buying a limited-edition Becky doll after leaving the academy for a while during joint combat training that continued after her class was over.

Since she was a collector of Kobe and Becky-related merchandise, she couldn't miss it.

Could the white-haired girl next to her be Zeto's younger sister? She had been told by Jeto that she had two younger sisters.

Yuri, who had been glancing at Zeppetti, guessed that.

Next, Ray alternates between the doll in Yuri's hand and Yuri's face.

Soon, Ray puts on a frustrated expression.

Ray thought that the Clementine family would not run out of money and would give someone a present.

'Did she ever want to buy this doll?'

In Yuri's eyes, Ray looked like that.

Actually, that was right.

Yuri was worried.

It is a limited product, so if you miss this opportunity, it will be hard to get. Moreover, it was even more so now that he is attending the academy and his activity radius is limited.

In the first place, she was the glass that she had seen countless times through the window, looking at the expression of a young child who was sad like Ray.

But she couldn't overcome her affection for Kobe and Becky.

So she didn't care.

After all, she was a child of someone else's house, who had nothing to do with her.

But are Jeto's younger siblings really 'children of someone else's house'?

Suddenly in Yuri's head, Ray and Zeppetti said to Jetto, 'I like Yuri!' The scene of spitting out such words passed by.

Isn't this a golden opportunity to get ahead of Aisel?

Besides, if, indeed, if.

If her father, Geras Clementine, marries Jeto as she chanted, then Ray and Zeppetti, whom she sees over there, will become her sisters-in-law for her.

Yuri looked down at Becky, who was looking at her with cute eyes in her hand.

'...Even though I'm sorry, I can't help it.'

This she decided to consider as an investment for her future sister-in-law.

Yuri moves her steps to do her bill.

"Ha..."

After confirming that her doll is gone, Ray lets out a sigh.

"Thank god."

Zeppetti reprimands Ray for no reason.

That's when Ray and Zeppetti tried to turn away.

ㅡ with my daughter.

"Excuse me...!"

Yuri rushes out of her shop and stops them.

Ray turned her head and glanced at her glass with her dim eyes.

Did she say that other people's rice cakes look bigger?

'Becky' in Yuri's hand looked much cozier than when it was displayed in her shop.

"Jetto's younger siblings? Did you say Ray...? I met her yesterday, remember?"

Having lost her strength at Yuri who approached after saying that, Ray nodded her head lightly.

"You're a friend of Zeto's brother! My name is Zeppetti."

Jeppetti, who had become a lively little sister before she knew it, introduced herself.

Yuri and Zeppetti exchange introductions.

"Yuri unnie, so why did you call us?"

"Ah, in case Ray didn't want this doll..."

"..."

Ray's eyes twinkle at Yuri's question.

Ray's eyes, filled with her expectations, were nothing like a hero.

"Anyway, we ended up living together at the academy. Would you consider it a gift from unnie? Please take care of me from now on, Ray. Zeppetti too."

A doll handed to Ray with a smile.

Ray took this cautiously.

"I also take good care of my brother. Ray, thank you."

"...Thank you."

Ray, holding her doll in her arms, bows her head.

Yuri, who was looking at this, smiled happily.

Then, Zeppetti asks Yuri a question.

Isn't she in the same class as Jeto's brother?

That being said, when Zeppetti asked where Zeto was now, Yuri replied that he was in the main building of the academy.

"...If time permits, would you like to go and have a look?"

The formal class had already ended, and I was still in the process of adjusting the sum.

Yuri's suggestion that she thought it would be okay until she went in and out of the classroom.

Ray and Zepetty, who were looking at each other, nodded in affirmation.

Zeppetti was trying to figure out Jeto's relationships with women around him, and Ray was just okay.

***

"This is the classroom. Since it's class A, it's a class with only the best students."

Yuri stopped in front of the door with a sign saying "1st year Class A" And explained.

"Right now, I'm in the middle of self-training... There are only our members..."

Yuri, who put her hand on her door, blurted out her words.

ㅡDr.

The door opens, revealing the interior of the classroom.

Zeppetti quickly found Jetto and rolled her eyes. The glass that opened the door was the same.

A pure white bandage around the eyes.

For some reason, the ink-colored hair characteristic of Orientals could be seen on the floor.

Jetto was lying on the floor.

Long blonde hair hung over his face.

Then, Jeto's voice is heard.

"Miss Aisel, you make a lot of mistakes today."

"I know."

Yuri, who saw that, violently opened the classroom's sliding door.

ㅡBoom!

At that sound, Eisel, who was in a position to attack Zeto, turned his gaze towards the door.

""...""

A strange current flows between Yuri and Eisel.

Zepetty, a very capable artificial intelligence, was able to figure out this situation easily.

One word pops into Zeppetti's mind.

'Harem...'
