Day 9: Useless Brothers and Plans for a Picnic

Odina Florence’s younger sister, Miyako, left him to get a full night’s sleep (on the floor in the living room) after he’d collapsed. She then prepared a warm meal for him. Along with the warm heated-stone-style bath and a little time spent taking it easy in the countryside—undisturbed by long hours of labor—he was brought to tears.

Viva Florence!

“Miyako, I think I’ll go home for a while. I’ve had enough of being a workaholic!”

“Uh...”

You turn up out of nowhere and immediately spout that stuff like you don’t have a care in the world! Actually, I’m more shocked that he’s the one who stole our wagon on the mountain that night.

“Ah, I thought maybe someone had just abandoned it...” he said to Miyako’s astonishment, scratching his head.

What amazed her most was that his method of travel from the capital to the Atika region had been sprinting. Just how ripped is my brother? Miyako shot a glance at Fuuka to find that she too was wide-eyed in amazement at Odina’s matter-of-fact telling of his story. Odina Florence was the textbook “loveable idiot.”

“Well, I will have to report this to Klaus-sama, that being my job and all, but I’ll skip work for a few days first. Keep your story straight with mine, Miyako!”

“Uh, sure... Watch your back, Odina.”

Miyako heard that Odina was working for the Reinhardt family in the capital, but she worried whether he was managing to cope with the workload. I mean, I am grateful that he’s not gonna get in the way of me living with Fuuka-chan, but...

***

They took the wagon back from Odina since they’d borrowed it from Shan Li. Umi watched the horses with great interest as they happily munched their fodder. Watching her swing her tail from side to side, you can tell she really is a cat.

They saw off Odina as he departed into the dusk, now back in high spirits. Miyako asked him to keep quiet to their family about using the spare home without permission. Seeing as he himself had no qualms about skiving off work, Odina didn’t take much convincing. Nothing beats having a half-assed but hard-working older brother.

“That man makes others work like crazy since he has high specs, doesn’t he?” asked Miyako.

“That man” was Miyako’s former fiancé, the marquis Klaus Reinhardt. Even Count Hamilton’s family obsessed over forging an engagement with Klaus. The Reinhardt family had a high pedigree, and Klaus showed zeal for his role as a knight in the royal court. However, a slight—or not so slight—inclination towards self-obsessed narcissism undermined him.

To be honest, I was only ever after Fuuka-chan, anyway. To be more honest, he was sooo off my radar that now I’m here, living with Fuuka-chan, and I don’t even really remember his face that well. I think it looked all right... maybe.

“Since Klaus-sama sent someone after us, it’s only a matter of time before he finds where we are,” said Fuuka as she mixed medicines for villagers who would likely come the next day.
