Chapter 53
You Who Shine Brightly
The medicine for magic overload—the one that saved the Hero Abel in the novel Gran Avert.
That medicine was completed earlier than in the original story,
and it completely cured my illness.
Which means… no matter how much I get excited over my beautiful brother’s appearance,
I no longer risk dying from it.
And once that happened, I threw away all restraint and clung to my beloved brother Sélios—my eternal favorite since my previous life—following pure instinct.
Uhehehehe.
I can enjoy all the skinship I used to restrict myself from:
having him feed me sweets once a week, going “say ahhh,”
or kissing my cheek…
Now I can indulge in all of it as much as I want.
Long live the golden lycoris!
Long live Professor Robert!
And thank you too, Holy Sword!
Propolis can’t be harvested in large quantities, so mass production of the medicine is impossible,
but it should still gradually spread.
Maybe even to Abel’s village…
Hmm, but it might be too expensive for commoners.
Well, commoners usually don’t have enough magic to suffer overload anyway.
But Abel is special—he’s the protagonist, after all.
Once he’s recognized as a hero, he’ll come to the academy.
When that happens, I’ll give him the medicine through my brother.
Anyway, Abel will enroll one year after my brother,
so it’s a matter for next year.
“Brotheeerrrrrrrr!”
And I was clinging to my brother like a cicada.
Because—!
Just when I’ve finally reached the point where I can cling to him without triggering an attack,
I now have to be separated from my beloved brother? Noooooo!
“Come on, Letty. Sélios is troubled, you know?”
Father spoke to me from behind, sounding flustered.
But if I let go of my brother’s hand, he’ll disappear from my reach!!
“Today is your entrance ceremony, Letty.
It’s your big day—your shining moment. I want to see it.”
I know that, but still… still… my hands refuse to let gooooo…
“My lady, you’re troubling Lord Sélios.”
Lan, the holy sword—now my personal butler—pinched the collar of my dress and lifted me away from my brother.
Excuse me? Isn’t that a bit rough!?
“And during the entrance ceremony, you’ll be sitting in the family section, remember?”
Lan said dryly, and I protested instinctively.
“But the family section is way over there! It’s too far—
I won’t be able to see my brother’s beautiful face properly!”
This world doesn’t even have binoculars, so I have to rely on my own eyes to burn his divine features into my memory.
Ahh, if only I had my smartphone…
I want to preserve his photos and videos permanently…
“Letty really loves Sélios, doesn’t she?”
Of course, Father.
My brother has been my favorite since my previous life.
As I nodded vigorously, Moko—now in a puppy-sized form—came to my feet.
“Kyuu.”
Apparently, my excitement had caused my magic to increase a bit,
so Moko absorbed the excess.
The special medicine for magic overload doesn’t stop my magic from shooting up when I get excited,
but it does prevent it from exploding uncontrollably.
So the sudden surge doesn’t harm my body anymore.
However…
“When you come home, shall we have a tea party—just the two of us?
I’m looking forward to it, my princess.”
As my brother said this and kissed my cheek,
his divine expression made my magic surge all at once.
And then—
The overflowing magic turned into light,
making my entire body shine brilliantly.
