(4)I keep my future husband!

Today, I had a great time with Johannes in playing with origami, and I had to return to my room and face the face of Cabel,

filled with betrayal.

"What do you like about that child!"

"Why? There's no reason why I don't like him. He's nice and sweet and he's very good to me."

"Then I? I?!"

No, is this an unconscientious bastard? Do you think there's no problem there right now?

"I, I also played well with you, and last time I gave you some sweets to eat!"

What is this! Good for you! Now you accuse me betraying you?!

The second brother was expressing a

sense of betrayal toward me with his whole body. Of course, for me, it was just a grumbling.

"Brother comes out to play with me every day, and you drags me out of the way without asking me."

"You said you like it too!"

"When did I say I liked it? Brother always pulled my arm before he even heard the answer. Do you know how many bruises I have because of brother after playing?"

"When I am like that!"

"There was a red mark on the arm that my brother had pulled last time, and a bruise on my knee that I got while falling. Did I tell you last time? I'm different from brother, so even if I throw the ball only a few times, my arm hurts and it's hard.

Have you ever asked me about it once? Have you ever thought that you should ask if I want to do that before playing with the ball?"

In my words, Cabel again became a father. Obviously, he felt like he had never

thought of what I was saying.

In fact, I wasn't very surprised because I

already knew his reaction gonna be like that.

"In fact, I prefer to fold a piece of paper in a room than to run around the house and catch a cold. And I like playing dolls more than playing ball. But my brother isn't

care about that, Didn't you?"

Okay, honestly, origami or doll play wasn't

the better thing. Now I'm a couple of my age, it's not going to be fun. But now I have to deal with the second brother.

"Of course, I never say no. I never say I didn't want to play with brother."

"Tha, that's what I mean! You didn't say no!"

"Yeah, that's because I like brother Cabel that I've played with all of them."

"What?"

I stared at the second brother as he was surprised at my word. Then his face with a very stupid expression caught my eye.

Cabel had a very clumsy face to see as my words were surprising for him.

"You, do you like me? Me? Really? More than that unlucky man?"

"Of course I liked brother Cabel a lot more."

Cabel glowed with both eyes at me.

It was the second brother that who express his disliked at Johannes, who was so close to me, and he seemed to feel a strange competition in him in recent years.

By the way, I confessed that I liked him better than Johannes, who had been playing with me for a while, and it seemed that his self-confident confidence was restored at the same time.

"But you shouted out that I wasn't your sister when you left me like that in front of brother Johan and Louise?"

Cabel, who had a brighter look, was frustrated by my subsequent words. I stretched my eyebrows towards him and looked sad.

"So you said you wasn't sorry for anything that hurt me. At that time, brother Cabel wouldn't know how sad I was."

"Here is the things, I was so annoyed by that child at that time…"

"So I decided not to like brother now. I'm not going to call brother Cabel brother for now."

"Wha-what!"

In my resolute words, Cabel again strucked and got the right face. He was staring at me as if he couldn't heard well.

I exhaled a sigh toward Cabel and opened my mouth again.

"That brother is different. Whatever I'm with him, he always ask me what I think first. He never do anything I hate, and he apologize and being so sorry for having done something he thought I don't like once."

"I, I can do it too!"

"Besides, unlike brother Cabel, he doesn't pull my arm hurtingly, brother Johan doesn't call me trash, and unlike Cabel brother, he doesn't act like this."

"Wha- I, I can do better than that child!"

I put my eyes full of doubts and looked at Cabel with the look of 'You are?'

He was eager to tell me he hated being compared to Johannes. I screamed

towards him and said it last.

"But I'll admit that until now it's all my

fault. And now I don't want to play with my brother who doesn't even know me."

Then the second brother faltered and shook.

"I, I didn't know you could hurt so easily."

"Yeah, if you don't know, you're not sorry, you don't apologize, or you're not wrong?"

"I just hit you a bit, but I didn't even know you could get hurt until it's bleeding…"

"Wow, I can't help it too. I'm playing with brother Johan…."

"Oh, I'm sorry!"

Finally, a voice popped out of the mouth of the second brother. When I turned my body back to the door and looked at him, I smirked and Cabel stuttered.

"I have never apologized. So I don't know how to do it."

Literally, it was the first time that the second brother acknowledged his fault and apologized.

He seemed very embarrassed and unbearable at this moment.

"That, you got hurt because of me, I'm sorry, Huk."

I looked at the second brother as he doesn't know what to do with his body being sloppy.

"So play with me, not him!"

The last one was swarming again. Well,

wouldn't it be too much to apologize to Johannes?

I was so excited about the second brother, but would I do this today?

"Well, I'm not sure if I can trust you yet."

"What?!"

"But I still like you a lot, so I'll think about whether I can play with you in the future."

"That's it, isn't it…? Just thinking about what you want to do!"

"Okay, are you screaming at me horribly?"

"N-no.."

I think I will be able to pour my second childhood facts more effectively than before.

I smiled wickedly into the sneaking back of Cabel, who began to notice my eyes again.

"Huh huh, next time I'll invite you to our Vastia."

"Come to my house, sister!"

After the silver fox hunting season, it was a day for the Vastia family to leave Ernst.

We gathered together on the ground floor to see off the guests, like the first day they visited.

But, in fact, Cabel and Erich, who had little time to hang out with them, weren't very heartful. Well, it's also applide for Eugene.

From the very beginning, playing with

children like us was different, so he must felt out of the field.

Above all, Cabel, who had fought Johannes, was expressing that he was missing a chance to pay himm off and was not cool inside.

The couple of Ernst were embarrassed because of the second brother who said he felt good from the morning and eagerly waited for this time.

On the other hand, the couple Vastia were happy to see why he was busy growling at their son while staying at the mansion.

I was watching. No, I'm not sure if the Vastias are interpersonal or strange people as they trying to raise their sons to fight and grow wild.

"Hari."

I'm trying to say the last greeting as Johannes came to me. Ugh, say goodbye to my future groom. Would he like to exchange letters while he is away?

At first, I saw he was being attacked by Cabel, and I thought I should protect him. However, it turns out that it was Johannes who had a firm and right mind.

Well, so he would have grown up to be such a nice guy 20 years later.

"Well, this is a gift."

But while I looked at him with a vague glance, Johannes gave me something with a major drop.

"Gift?"

I turned my head at the end of his word and was surprised. It was nothing else that more precious than what Johannes gave me!

It also shows the number of shiny beads on the base. It'a a communication sphere! It is super expensive that you can use only 5 times!

"If it's okay, so, maybe you can contact me from time to time."

Johannes said, and then he couldn't see my face and bowed his head. His cheeks were red and blue.

The couple of Ernst was also amazed, isn't it obvious that the person who paid for it, even if it was actually a gift from Johannes, would be their parents, Vastia.

The Vastia couple smiled to the embarrassed Ernst couple.

"My children seem to have become very close to Hari. Johan suddenly came over a few days ago and asked if he could get a communication sphere."

"Johan ask us for it even if he shouldn't have a birthday present for several years, could you please accept it?"

Ah, this bunch of people, they bought an expensive communication sphere to use then send it to me to receive contacts between children in return.

"In fact, I'm glad that Johan came to

Ernst because he had more confidence than before. I think it'd be nice if the children were in contact with each other, too."

Vastia laughing eyes made my face tickle. Something awkward and unreasonable. It's like that.

Johannes still bowed his head with a red cheek and mumbled. In that figure, I have a strong heart again.

You can even use it for other things but you're giving such an expensive gift! In this case, just like a child, you should use it only when you contact me!

"I didn't not like it! Thanks, brother Johan."

I smiled with all my heart toward him.

Then, his head slowly lifted and his eyes wide open for a moment and then hardened for a while, and the next moment, his face was dyed red like an explosion.

"Do you mind have to contact me first?"

"Oh, yeah. I, I can, I will…"

He stuttered as if he didn't know what to do like when he first met me.

"Hahaha! Yes, stay friendly in the future. Our little children!"

When counting on that look, Count Vastia smiled and laughed and plowed Johannes's head with affection.

So Vastias family left Ernst.

******

"Oh, it's my chance!"

As soon as they disappeared, Cabel was

excited and jumped over.

"Penny, let's go for a snack."

"Woof!"

Sensitive Erich also noticed that his mind became more comfortable after the guests passed away.

No, in fact, the third brother seems to have been sensitive because the hunting season.

"Melissa, aren't you tired?"

"It's okay. I think it's good to invite Vastia this time, right?"

Duke Ernst's smiled as Mrs. Ernst said. I watched the two people hold each other's hands with a strong feeling of mutual contact.

Um, this is what they mean as they invite Vastia this time….

Yes, these two may be trying their own way to get out of their daughter's shadow.

"You have a new two friends. If you use the communication sphere, you could see their face for a while, so it was good."

He lightly touched my shoulder and I looked up at Eugene as he passing by.

Surprisingly, he was smiling lightly at me. Even though it wasn't very much, it was a smile that was only a little recognizable.

"Miss Hari, I'll move the gift to your room."

"Thank you, Mr. Butler!"

It was a very peaceful day. I wonder if these days will continue for a long

time. I want it to last long.

*******

"Oh, guys. I'm going to prepare a snack for you today, so tell me what you want to eat."

"You mustn't force your body to hard too."

"I'm fine."

"I love everything, mother."

"Oh! Walnut pie, walnut pie!"

"Mom, I want strawberry tart!"

Even though the number of people clearly decreased because the guest left, it was so noisy inside the mansion for some reason.

"What about Hari?"

Mrs. Ernst looked back at me with a gentle smile between the three brothers.

At one point, they seemed so perfect in themselves that I thought I could not get in there.

"You eat macaroons! I want to eat macaroons!"

"Cabel, Hari may want to eat something else."

"Can I take a walk with my puppy before eating a snack?"

"Yeah, Erich. Are you just going to eat this? Tell me anything you want."

I looked at the Ernst family from a distance, and then I moved forward to pretend I couldn't hear their first call.

"Oh, that's right. I need to adjust my clothes. I also saw Erich's last time, and his shorts were a little shorter."

"Mom, I also want to buy penny clothes."

"Why don't we go out together again when the day comes?"

"Mom, I grilled a lizard snake I couldn't eat last time!"

"How about Hari?"

I replied in a noisy crevice.

"I like it all."

It's a bit noisy, distracting, but sometimes it's not bad for those days of trouble to go on.

For some reason, it seemed like a strangely tickling and warm feeling spread from one corner of my chest.

And as if to laugh at me who was thinking like that, a couple of years later the Ernst couple died.
