I Became The Academy Necromancer

61. Brother

“I want to eat meat. Not the tough Northwedon meat, but something soft.”

“There are many orders.”

“What with this much? Do you know how picky aristocratic ladies of my age can be? Because she is the heroine of Northweden, she is at least like this.”

Deia, who has a strange pride in living in the cold north, proudly sticks out her chest.

Of course, it’s a feeling I don’t understand, so I just shake my head and walk down the street ignoring it.

Greypond was definitely a downtown and a big city. Robern, where the Robern Academy was located, was also a fairly large city, but in comparison, Robern was a bit pitiful.

The chaotic footsteps of people, the sound of rolling wheels and the war of nerves of merchants bargaining, and so on.

It was white noise that could be heard everywhere, but it was annoying because there were so many of them.

Even if she wants to walk a little faster, Deia turns her head around with her mouth open.

Until I was 24 years old, I lived in a corner like North Whedon, so it must be full of strange things.

He smiled and tilted his head, then came to my side with quick steps and giggled as he matched his steps.

“I think I picked the wrong place to be born. Nature is a city girl. I just like the air.”

“… … Less than 10 minutes have passed since I came out of town.”

“Isn’t that more certain? Do you feel like you have recognized your destiny?”

“Where’s the Northwedon heroine?”

“People evolve. I can feel my body rejoicing to be alive and breathing here.”

Looking at Deia, who stretches out her hand and breathes deeply through her nose, she frowns in pity.

“How do you know the feeling of meeting your destiny while living as an old maid until the age of 24?”

“This bitch… … .”

He bites his lip, clenches his fist, and glares at me. Then he sighed as if his strength had been released and replied.

“Whoa, I didn’t do it because I had some trauma.”

“… … I’m sorry, I made a mistake.”

It was as if I was accepting my real sister’s complaint, so I apologize and admit that I said it carelessly without even knowing it.

Deius was the reason she hated others.

Seeing me like that, Deia waved her hand.

“It’s okay, even though you’re not really that bastard.”

“… … .”

There was no conversation between us after that. Come to think of it, these were originally Deius and Deia.

The big city of Greypond briefly turned Deia into a girl, but she soon faces the cold reality.

We arrived at the restaurant just in time. Open the door of Mersenne with a cozy wooden sign saying that it is open and enter.

“welcome!”

The lively greetings of the waiter were heard along with the chatter of the bustling people.

Seeing that there are many customers, Deia also says “Ohhh” and looks around with eyes full of anticipation.

“Are you two? I will guide you to your seat!”

The place the waitress guided us to was quite a nook. It seemed that there had been guests just now, and the table was being cleared in a hurry.

“The menu is here! Call me when you place your order!”

A waitress handing over a spacious menu. I received it and handed it to Deia first.

“Look first.”

“… … .”

Deia looked at me with a disapproving expression and snatched the menu.

However, she quickly fell in love with the menu and began to worry about it.

“It’s roast beef, but comes with cheese fondue? Wow, what is this?”

“… … .”

“Wouldn’t it be nice to have this with a salad? Are you feeling healthy? It must have had a lot of asparagus in it.”

“… … .”

“We have an event where you get a key chain if you order a set menu. Wow, that would be unthinkable in Northweden.”

I stare silently at Deia, who is making a fuss by herself while looking at the menu for almost 10 minutes.

Deia, who had been immersed for a while, made eye contact with me beyond the menu board, and then, embarrassed for nothing, lowered her face.

“I want to eat this with cheese fondue roast beef.”

“… … Then make it a set. I will order the B set.”

“uh?”

After skimming through the menu, I immediately called the waiter to order. I ordered a simple drink separately and looked at Deia with arms crossed.

She was still looking at me with a puzzled expression.

“Aren’t you choosing the menu too roughly? You don’t even know what other menus are in Set B.”

“Does not matter. It’s there anyway.”

“… … .”

After that, silence fell between us again. If I had been in my previous life, I would have been able to use my cell phone.

But again, there was nothing to see.

It’s a big city, so it’s full of ghosts. It wasn’t an evil spirit that could cause harm, but there were too many things wandering around with resentment.

The food comes out and the savory aroma stimulates the stomach through the nose.

Since it was a restaurant that received rave reviews from the characters even in the game, the visuals were definitely worth it.

“Here’s the set key chain!”

A key chain left with food. I slipped the ring with the small teddy bear into Deia.

“Take it.”

“… … .”

“I don’t need it.”

I started eating the salad that came with it in silence. It had shrimp in it, which wasn’t too bad.

Deia, who had been looking at me blankly, took the keyring as if she was uncomfortable and put it in her pocket.

“Didn’t I order a set menu as part of this to have?”

“no.”

“… … .”

Even though I said that, Deia glanced at me as if she was embarrassed.

After dipping the meat into the cheese fondue and eating it, I was distracted and started eating it.

finish eating

We stopped at a nearby cafe.

I asked if it would be nice to walk for digestion, but Deia said she wanted to eat dessert, so I just went back to the cafe.

“Wow, is this Gray Pond? The meat juice was crazy.”

“If it was delicious, that would be enough.”

I had a hard time paying attention to what I ate and buried in my mouth as if I was distracted.

“It’s different than usual.”

When I said it while resting my chin, Deia’s body trembled as she drank coffee and looked at me.

Not talking might be what she wanted, but that didn’t mean she was wasting her time.

Tomorrow, I must undergo the king’s final trial.

So, let’s say it a little bit straight, Deia taps the ice floating in the coffee with a straw and responds in a small whisper.

“Can’t it just be that you’re excited because you like Gray Pond?”

“If you want, I will know that.”

If Deia didn’t want to, he had no intention of digging further.

As I calmly drank the coffee, Deia rubbed the coffee cup with her finger and opened her mouth with a determined expression.

“name.”

“… … .”

“What is your original name?”

In response to her question, I answered calmly, slowly removing the coffee cup from my mouth.

“Kim Shin-woo.”

“Kim or Shinwoo?”

“Yes, it might sound unusual here, but it was commonplace where I lived.”

“Kim Shin-woo… … .”

Deia, muttering my name over and over again, continues to ask.

“How old are you? Are you twenty-eight?”

“Twenty-five.”

“It’s a year difference. He’s still my brother.”

It was a little surprising.

I never thought that Deia would ask such detailed questions about me.

Deia continued to pour out questions one by one, as if she had started riding the flow.

It was the momentum to unlock the story package that was locked.

“Were you a necromancer there too?”

“Let’s make it similar. It is my nature, not Deius’s, to be able to see ghosts.”

“I see.”

The conversation lasted longer than expected. When I had a sore throat from talking a lot, I ordered coffee again, and ordered a sweet cake to supplement the sugar.

Even so, Deia’s questions did not stop.

“Did you have a brother?”

“It was an only child.”

“yes? So, are you married?”

“I didn’t even have a lover.”

“And then you told me about an old maid like that?!”

I don’t bother answering

He never had a girlfriend, but he wasn’t unpopular.

Because there were girls who often confessed to me where they felt the charm of their silent and quiet appearance.

However, I, who saw a ghost, couldn’t take such a confession carelessly.

Because couples are perfect for incurring resentment if something goes wrong.

“then.”

Deia, who continued to ask questions for a long time, paused for a while before speaking again.

“Is Deius also in you now?”

For the first time, I couldn’t answer her question right away.

Deia noticed that too, but her eyes didn’t let me run away with another answer.

I also had no intention of lying.

“Deius Verdi has already gone to rest.”

Deia, who had solved Emily’s case with me, couldn’t have guessed what that word meant.

From there, I calmly told me the story of Deius.

When I was already possessed, Deius was dead.

he tried to kill me

In the end, in the end, I met him face-to-face and gave him a funeral.

“He was a pitiful man, but not one to be pitied.”

“… … .”

“But in the end, he left regretting his life.”

He doesn’t ask for forgiveness or say that he was a good person too.

Even if Deia heard it, she wouldn’t agree at all.

Just that he was sad.

I told others how much I regretted doing that.

“What does that matter?”

However, Deia gritted her teeth and replied.

“Whether the baby regretted, repented, or cried at me. It doesn’t matter. behind? it’s better He was someone I didn’t need.”

The anger was justified, so I just nodded and kept my mouth shut.

“And I am really sorry. You look the same to me However, looking at the actions he showed in Northweden and the way he looks today… … You are definitely a different person.”

“… … .”

“I’ll admit that he’s a much nicer person than Deius, several times, dozens of times. Because I really wanted to have a family like this.”

However, Deia adds.

“But, in the end, it’s Deius. That damn face remains with me like some kind of trauma.”

“I understand.”

No matter how different people are, in the end, the body is Deus.

Asking Deia to understand was a terribly selfish request.

“I’m sorry for tickling. When I see that face, I get angry without even realizing it.”

“Of course.”

When he understands that this is a natural reaction, Deia smiles bitterly.

“You talk like a real brother.”

“I will try to be like that.”

“… … .”

Was it because the answer was completely unexpected? Deia stares blankly at me and opens her mouth.

“My family has been broken since I was very young. It was broken before I could do anything with it.”

My mother hates me for seeing ghosts.

My father got scared and ran away.

At least my grandmother comforted me, but she passed away while I was in the army.

I wondered if I would be able to see her even if she became a ghost, but she was nowhere to be seen.

“For me, family is already broken, something I will never have.”

It’s also something I’ve always envied.

“You may not want to, but I will try to be an older brother you will be proud of.”

Because that was also the last promise with Deus Verdi.

Deia, who had been looking at me blankly, smiled and looked out the window.

A bitter smile was still painted on her lips.

“We had hurts and longings for each other and our families.”

“Right.”

When I nodded, Deia carefully met my eyes. The corner of her mouth trembled as she tried to smile.

It meant that he couldn’t smile brightly at Deius’ face yet.

Even so, she answered honestly with an awkward smile.

“I really wish you were my brother.”
