Sister, Don’t Marry That Guy – Chapter 75

Chapter 75

‘D*mn it, he’s already been kicked out.’

To be honest, I was hesitant about what to do with the protagonist.

At the very least, even if things were to proceed as in the original story, my goal was to prevent verbal abuse and violence…

The protagonist is also human, so he remembers this violence for a long time. What am I going to do!

I had a headache.

But on the other hand, I felt a slight sense of relief.

Of course, it wasn’t about the violence the protagonist experienced.

‘Is this kind of thing happening according to the original story…?’

Even though I’m changing things here and there or trying to change them, the book is still flowing according to the original story.

If that’s the case, it means that the future I know is still guaranteed.

That was the source of my relief.

But I couldn’t let my guard down.

“By any chance, that child… um. No, it’s nothing. Thank you for letting me know, Tess.”

I was about to say something to Tess, but I closed my mouth.

Tess is not on my side.

‘I want to ask Stefan if he remembers the child he saw two weeks ago, but I can’t ask because Tess is here.’

I’m also curious if the child Stefan saw two weeks ago is the protagonist.

I decided to put aside my curiosity for now.

Yes, it’s a shame, but what’s already happened has happened.

‘I want to find the protagonist and at least treat him…’

That day, after spending a short time with Roy, I returned and immediately ordered Calidupen and Rife to search for the protagonist near the mansion.

But sadly, Red Winter did not find the protagonist that day.

‘D*mn it, no way!’

Even though I was fully prepared!

I lost the chance to meet the protagonist of this world.

* * *

“……Hoo.”

That evening, I had dinner with Roy.

Since the black puppy is usually quiet, both Roy and I were used to a silent mealtime.

‘I can’t believe I couldn’t find him.’

I sighed deeply inside, disappointed that I couldn’t find the protagonist.

But for some reason, Roy was looking at my face more often than usual today while eating.

Is it because of my sigh?

“Oppa, why? Is there something on my face?”

“No…….”

Roy put down his bread and mumbled.

Aww, is it possible to be this cute while eating bread?

I was watching with a content smile, and then Roy raised his gaze again.

As soon as our eyes met, he slightly shuddered his shoulders.

“Why are you so startled? Do you have something to say?”

“Th-that, sigh…….”

“Ah, you heard it?”

Oh, it was because of me. I rubbed my cheek in embarrassment.

“Sorry, I made you uncomfortable.”

“No! Th-that, are you, bothered…?”

Roy blinked his eyes.

“The child I mentioned during the day.”

I was startled because Roy pointed it out so accurately.

Did I sigh too obviously?

“Uh-huh, just a little. I feel bad after hearing that story. They said he was around our age.”

“…….”

Roy didn’t answer.

Soon, he picked up his bread again.

“It’s the first time you’ve been concerned about a child other than me or Hyung.”

His small voice echoed in my ears.

“I’m bothered.”

I blinked my eyes widely. Was it because Roy also mentioned it?

The disappointment I was trying to forget surged out.

“There’s nothing to worry about.”

It’s a shame, it’s really a shame.

If only I could have met the protagonist first when he came.

If I could have at least prevented the violence, things could have been easier.

I missed him too easily.

That point was regrettable.

‘Is the original story really the original story?’

No matter how accurately I remember, I can’t know the dates that aren’t written in the book.

But I should be careful to prevent this kind of thing from happening when the protagonist appears next time.

‘I will definitely catch him.’

The protagonist won’t hate Blackwinter because of this incident.

Because he will reappear out of nowhere about three months later and get a job at the Blackwinter stable.

‘And then he met Calidupen at that time.’

One thing to be careful about is that at this time, he is disappointed by seeing the decaying state of Blackwinter and turns away.

It also contributes to fueling his hostility towards Blackwinter later.

Anyway, with this, the protagonist has become someone I must meet at least once.

I raised my head.

“Because I like Oppa the most.”

Our black puppy. You don’t have to worry about Kyle or the protagonist, just grow up well.

When I smiled brightly, Roy stared at me quietly and then blushed shyly.

Oh, he’s so cute.

Let’s put the protagonist’s matter aside for now and eat.

‘Because tomorrow will be busy too.’

I lowered my head before my portion of stew got any colder.

“…….”

So I didn’t see Roy’s expression darken quietly for a moment.

Another week passed.

In the third week, the contract has now spread to the 3rd District.

Since it’s an exclusive sale and a novel business method, the number of clients has increased significantly.

Considering the flood of orders and workload, the Psyche Merchant Guild is planning to move buildings soon.

It’s amazing that a merchant guild that was on the verge of closing is moving in just three weeks, but looking at the situation, it didn’t seem bad to move.

“I heard they are planning to move to a place closer to the center.”

“Really?”

I nodded, listening to Calidupen’s words.

“Unfortunately, we have not found the sky-blue-haired child that Young Lady ordered. This old man is ashamed.”

“No, it’s okay. The capital is so big, I thought it would be difficult to find him.”

Red Winter couldn’t find the protagonist even with more time. It was a shame, but I understood.

Currently, Red Winter has a lot of work compared to the number of people, and I know they are working hard, even now.

I turned my head. Today, our black puppy, Roy, was with me.

Roy was looking around the tea room with a curious expression.

I held back my laughter because his wide, red eyes were cute.

“Oppa, is it fascinating?”

“……Yeah.”

Well, the black puppy has built a wall against books, except for swordsmanship textbooks.

He was also far from the library.

I went to see Roy today because I heard that it was a rare day off for him.

Even after snack time, Roy wanted to be with me, so I gladly had him join the meeting with Calidupen.

“I often hear through Ruben how outstanding Third Young Master’s achievements are, haha. He praises you to no end.”

Roy quietly looked at Calidupen and then lowered his gaze slightly.

“……Still lacking.”

“Ho, you’re being humble.”

Calidupen looked at Roy for a moment and then made a serious expression.

“No, it’s not humility, it’s impatience. How can someone who doesn’t need to be so…….”

Instead of continuing, he glanced at me. I smiled awkwardly and shook my head.

Roy really tried hard. And I also heard that his talent bloomed like crazy in response to his efforts, but…

‘It seems like he’s not satisfied himself.’

Seeing this, I could understand why the black puppy became a villain trapped in inferiority in the book.

He has a perfectionist tendency, so even if everyone says okay, he pushes himself to the limit until he is satisfied.

I was a little worried.

If he can’t control this, it could become a self-destructive tendency.

I had been like that in my past life.

There was a time when I thought that if I tried hard, anything would be possible, so I tried to do everything perfectly.

It’s not serious yet, and since Ruben and Rainante are also there as mentors, I decided to cheer for Roy instead of stopping him.

Once, I tried to stop him because he seemed to be overdoing it, and he cried.

‘I was really surprised then.’

Roy fidgeted and gently grabbed my finger.

Then he mumbled, but I was lost in thought and didn’t hear this mumble.

“……To, to not hear that voice, I have to…….”

When I turned my head, all I could see was Roy’s innocent face.

“Um, Oppa, what did you just say?”

“……Just, a resolution.”

“Don’t overdo it too much. Ruben and Rainante are both good teachers, so they will make Oppa strong soon. You’re already getting stronger!”

Roy looked at me blankly and then nodded slowly.

He didn’t seem convinced, but if he really overdoes it to the point of getting sick, I’ll freeze him solid to stop him.

I made a firm resolution.

“Hmm, anyway, it’s a relief that the cola business is going well.”

“Yes. There are no major problems yet. But soon… large merchant guilds will be paying attention. No, they already are.”

“Really?”

I expected that.

Usually, when a startup emerges as a new star, large corporations move to gobble them up, don’t they?

“There are already minor acts of sabotage… um?”

That’s when it happened. A small bead on the tea room table flashed red.

When Calidupen picked up the bead, someone silently descended behind him.

It was a member of Red Winter.

“I greet the master.”

The man bowed deeply to me and then handed a small note to Calidupen.

Calidupen, who was reading the note, soon frowned.

He swallowed a groan.

“……This is a big problem.”

“What’s wrong?”

Calidupen looked at me with a slightly complicated expression.

“Andrew-nim is in critical condition.”

“……Ah.”

My aunt’s child? It was serious.

“What about the doctor?”

“Roxy-nim has already rushed there, so he will be able to see a physician right away.”

That’s a relief, but. Soon, another thought occurred to me.

The contract was that my aunt couldn’t take the profits from the cola business until it reached a certain level.

It wasn’t going into my pocket either, it was money that was being collected solely for investment elsewhere.

‘Because there are many things to secretly buy in the future.’

Like the swordsmanship textbook that Stefan will use…

Not to mention the ancient relics and legendary swords scattered everywhere, even if the main characters don’t use them.

“Hey, Calidupen.”

I pondered. The pondering didn’t last long.

“Let’s do this.”
