Chapter 10.2. True Malice Is Accompanied By A Smile

-Miu’s Dad POV-

My father hit me where it hurts. Japan is a nation governed by the rule of law. The people are protected by law. I also know that ……… it is a pretext. The nobles’ arrogance is rarely heard of. If Miu is known to be a recovery magician, there must be people who will try to get her. As a commoner, I have no way to prevent them.

My father scoffs at my inability to answer.

“Hmph. I see that even that idealistic head of yours understands. If you understand, then start preparing to move out. Take care of what Miu needs! Hrrmmm!”

Suddenly the pressure that was holding my head down disappears, and I become light. Coughing, I lift my head and see my father leaping over the couch and bracing himself with a grim look.

“……… Teijo-san, what are you trying to do?”

“I had left an escort just in case. I heard the escort’s report, and when I visited again, I saw that the parents of my daughter’s benefactor were in terrible trouble. I think it’s only natural? I should help them, don’t I?”

I turned around and saw Teijo Ouga, who looked like a fierce beast in a kimono, standing there with a cold look on his face. He must have done something. A translucent black aura swirled in his hands.

“This is a family matter. I’m sorry, but could you please refrain?”

Hiding his fevered anger, my father tells Ouga-san.

“I have heard that your relationship has been cut. Count Takano family is not supposed to be related to Yoshiyuki-san.”

“They have been reinstated. Isn’t that a common story?”

“How ……. Is that true, Yoshiyuki-san?”

The two face each other, creating a sense of intimidation to the extent that the space is warped. Wang Fang asked me without paying attention in the midst of it all.

“No, ………. I am no longer related to the Count Takano family. There is no relationship at all.”

Hearing this commotion, the nurses and patients look at each other, but they quickly pull their faces back when they realize that it is a fight between nobles and between magicians. That’s how dangerous a fight between magicians can be.

“Damn you! What the hell are you talking about? All you do is complain!”

My brother becomes enraged at my words and grabs at me, his face turning red. A magician’s physical ability is incomparable to that of an ordinary person. Even though he was only a few meters away from me with only one step, he would pack it in a split second.

When I realized that my brother’s hand had reached up to my neck, and then Ouga-san’s arm was grabbing my brother’s arm.

“Ggh. This guy!”

My brother’s face was angry, and his hand was covered with a green aura, creating a swirling wind. The wind blew up his hair and swept his clothes.

“O Wind, gah!”

But as my brother tries to release the magic, which is too dangerous for the average person, Ouga-san moves his hand with a bang. Then my brother’s face tilts back, his nose sinks, his body shakes, and he sits flat on the floor.

“You son of a……..”

With his nose bleeding, my brother glares at Ouga-san hatefully, his face contorted in pain, but Ouga-san is unperturbed. I guess this is what I mean when I say Ouga-san is of a different caliber.

“What do you think, Yoshiyuki? Let me, or the Teijo family, back Miu-san. Even though I say backer, I won’t bind Miu-san to anything. It’s just a thank you for saving Yamiyo.”

“Teijo-san! You’re trying to steal another family of their member!”

Father raises his voice in anger, not even looking at my fallen brother.

“Yoshiyuki! There is no such thing as good news. Don’t trust another family! They just want a recovery magician!”

Indeed, he may be right. Even if Ouga-san appears like a hero with a sense of justice, the reality is not so simple. Even if they protect Miu out of kindness, how would it look from a third party’s perspective?

Ouga-san is a cunning man who has successfully extracted a recovery magician from another family. Or a terrible person who forcibly took from a lower-ranked nobleman, who would use Miu’s power. Even without binding her, if Ouga-san speaks of attacking dungeons, if he goes to exterminate monsters, Miu is likely to accompany him in return for the kindness she has received.

But Yoshiyuki did not hesitate before the two options.

“Yes, can I ask you for a favor, Teijo-san?”

Who would entrust my precious child to the family that had abandoned me?

“Leave it to me. Let’s not let anyone mess with Miu-chan.”

Ouga-san nodded with a slight smile, and Miu now had the backing of the Marquis Teijo’s family.

“Yoshiyuki! You will surely regret this! Teijo-san, don’t think my family will remain silent like this!”

And the Count Takano family became my enemy.

I don’t know what will happen to this choice. However, my feelings remain the same. I’m determined to protect Miu.
