The Kids I Saved Are Too Strong

22 – Sahyun’s viewpoint-3

Early the next morning, Yeji-sama took Ari to eat, and I cleaned the training center for Ari while receiving a piece of bread.

After diligently sweeping the broom and mopping, Yeji and Ari returned.

“Ugh…”

Ari hesitantly looked at me and Yeji-nim alternately.

Did you receive any orders from Yeji?

“Do I really have to?”

Yeji just nodded his head without saying anything.

“…Did you clean up well?”

“Oh, I’m done.”

It was an awkward conversation. I don’t think the conversation I had when I first met Ari was so awkward.

“Good job. Keep cleaning hard.”

It was to the point where I was rather guilty of saying that I was sorry.

It’s not that hard to do this much for my little brother.

“Okay, let’s start training.”

I stood in a daze for another hour. The intensity seems to be higher than yesterday, but Ari followed it well.

The power contained in each movement seemed incomparable to yesterday.

“Brother! ㄸ… Wipe your sweat.”

Ahri commanded me with a blushing face… . Should it be called an order? Seeing them embarrassed, I wondered if they were punishing them.

He moved quickly and wiped Ari’s body. Ari was looking at me with the same apologetic expression as yesterday… . Maybe it’s because of my mood that I smile a little bit? Ari is a good kid, so I must be wrong. Or maybe I tickled it by mistake.

When I was almost done, the door to the training room opened.

After finishing wiping Ari’s body, I turned around and saw the uncle and queen I saw yesterday, and my older sister with white hair.

‘You really knew each other.’

From the moment the queen accepted us, I knew that we weren’t normal with her, but I didn’t know that we were close enough to walk right next to her like that.

‘They said he was a knight, but what the hell was that relationship?’

“Wolha-nim, are you here?”

“So, are you training the kids well?”

“Yes, I don’t know if it’s because he’s young, but he’s the best among the kids I’ve trained so far.”

To say that Ari had the best performance, I, as an older brother, felt proud for no reason.

“Hey, what’s your name?”

The white-haired older sister strode toward Ari.

Perhaps Ari was still afraid of talking to other people, so she came behind me and hid.

“It’s Ari.”

In the end, I answered instead, and I felt my sister’s expression grow sad.

Did you not like that Ari didn’t answer?

“Ari, would you like to talk to me over there?”

Ari looked at Yeji-nim with a worried expression, but Yeji-nim just nodded without saying a word. Eventually, Ari went to the corner with a half-crying expression on her face.

I thought about stopping it, but I can’t stop someone Yeji-nim can’t stop. I quietly listened to the two of them, but I gave up because I couldn’t hear them well.

The Queen approached Yeji and talked about it, and it was a story that was quite related to me.

“Yes? Let the young lady train with you?”

“Yeah, I think that would be better.”

miss? Did the Queen have any siblings or daughters? Even if you have a daughter, she’s probably a younger sister because she’s still very young.

Thinking that there was a high probability that I would take care of him made me depressed for no reason. It’s not difficult, but taking care of someone’s self-esteem is in itself quite a thing.

“Hey, kid, is it worth training?”

The man I saw yesterday… . No, let’s call him brother. To be honest, I was too young to be an uncle. I don’t know her actual age, but she looks 23 years old? it looked like

Anyway, my brother came.

“I’m not trained. I’m an aristocrat.”

“You don’t like that?”

Was it written that I hate it on my face? I was helping my cute little sister, but I didn’t hate it. Rather, I thought that even a country like this would help Ari, so it was closer to liking it than hating it.

“It’s not that I don’t like it, it’s just a little boring. It’s kind of heartbreaking to see him say he’ll protect my brother when he grows up, even though he’s the kid I’ve always protected.”

“Brother and sister live by relying on each other. Isn’t it enough for you to protect your brother mentally as well?”

“Mental?”

protect you mentally? I don’t have that ability, how can I protect the human spirit when I’m not a spiritual awakening person?

“It means that your younger brother will rely on you a lot. It means that you have nothing to worry about being protected by your younger brother.”

Oh, that’s what it means.

Well, Ari is a person who relies on others a lot. Maybe just having me by your side can help.

“Really?”

“Is there an older sister talking to your brother right now? He’s my younger brother and he’s much stronger than me, but I’m not as stupid as you.”

Were you a brother? The face value looks similar.

Certainly, the older brother looked much weaker than the white-haired older sister. First of all, my brother looked like a non-awakened person and my sister looked like an awakened person.

But was my expression that bad? If the second person I met today could read it, Ari would have noticed.

I thought I should practice managing facial expressions.

“Because you’ve never been fat?”

He smiled naturally. Seeing that he smiled comfortably, it seemed that his mind had been sorted out to some extent while talking with his brother.

Yes, even though I am weaker than my sister, I am an older brother. I have to do my duty as an older brother.

“Thank you, though. Thanks to you, I feel much better.”

A pity passed over his brother’s face. Feeling ominous, I changed the subject of the conversation.

“What’s your brother’s name?”

“Me? Lee Soo-hyun, you?”

“My name is Sahyeon. My older brother and my name are very similar!”

“Yeah.”

It felt like we got very close in a short amount of time. Is it because of their name, because they have a younger brother who is stronger than them, or because they have many similarities?

“Then, from now on, you’re going to do what your sister told you to do?”

“Yes! Sister!”

Seeing that Ari also became more courageous during that time, did I feel a sense of sympathy for the white-haired noona, just as I felt a sense of sympathy for Suhyeon hyung?

The twinkling eyes made me feel good because my younger brother seemed to have grown up.

“Then let’s go. Practice hard and don’t bother your brother too much.”

“I’m not bothering you!”

That’s right, how kind our Ari is, but it bothers me… .

The part that Ari tightened up yesterday was craving.

Even after a good night’s sleep, his joints were still not completely healed, and his joints ached and ached every time he moved.

‘This is not bullying. It’s just training, isn’t it?’

Ari is never a kid who will bully me. I was definitely thinking that, but I inadvertently backed away when I saw Ari approaching me.

“Brother~”

“Uh…. Why Ari?”

“Help me train.”

“Ha…. Training?”

Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid, you’re just helping your little brother train. Are you afraid of just that?

Every time Ari took a step forward, he took one step backward, and before he knew it, he was pushed up to the wall.

“Yeah, do you hate it?”

I couldn’t bear to answer ‘yes’ to Ari’s smiling face.

“You just have to give it more power.”

“Like this?”

“Kyaheuk!!”

‘Hee hee, oppa is cute.’

The image of an older brother enduring the pain for me even though he must be in great pain. Yesterday, seeing him suffering like this, I was very sorry and it was painful, but now I am not sorry at all.

‘I’m going to keep protecting you from now on, right?’

I remembered Hayeon’s older sister’s words.

‘After all, it’s for my brother. And you protect your brother, and if he can’t do anything for you, he’ll be sorry too?’

‘Your oppa will like it better if you use him as you please!’

`Use?`

`Ugh, please, not use! The more you ask your brother, the more he will like it because he will be able to work for you!

It seemed that her sister was right. It’s probably going to hurt a lot, and I’d want to tell him to stop right now, but seeing how he’s holding back like this, it’s clear that he wants to do something for me too.

My older brother wants it, but I, the younger brother, have to follow suit.

My brother is such a great person. It would probably be very painful, but I was afraid I would be burdened, so I swallowed my screams… .

It was so nice to see my brother doing this for me.

`I love you so much♥`

“Kyaahahhhhh!

Oh, I accidentally applied too much force. My teacher said that my physical abilities grow quickly because of mana, so my brother will be very sick if I give him too much strength.

Thinking that my brother was weaker than me made me smile. An older brother who needs to be protected by me, an older brother who cannot live without my protection.

Without realizing it, more strength went into my body.

“Quaaa!!”

This time, as if I couldn’t stand it, a really proper scream came out.

It hurts a lot, but are you okay? my brother is mine Because you can’t live without me Because I’m protecting my brother. Because my brother wants to help me too. I can do whatever I want.

A hesitant smile was formed.

‘I will protect you.’
