Big Bro is the Major? (2)
Luis and Pedro were knight trainees who had gone through their apprenticeship together.
The two quickly beca close because they shared a longing for knighthood from a young age.
However, as they grew and actually beca knights, their longing beca distorted.
Normally, one would want to emulate one's superiors, but that wasn't what their admiration was about.
They hid behind their superiors to gain benefits, or asserted influence by flaunting their connections with higher-ups.
They were flatterers, sticking to people of power like leeches. That was the form their longing now took.
The influence exercised by clinging to those above—the temptation to obtain strength without effort—was sweet.
To secure such positions, it was essential to catch the eye of the higher-ups.
They had countless tis stolen other knights' achievents or shifted the bla for their own mistakes onto others to win that trust.
Cries of resentnt from their victims echoed everywhere, but the two refused to admit that they were re sycophants.
They insisted they were only ever respecting their superiors. Any unsavory incidents that occurred along the way were, to them, inevitable.
—Is wanting to be noticed by others really such a bad thing? Didn't you ever have such innocent tis yourselves?
That was how they shouted back at those who criticized them, only to receive even harsher condemnation in return.
Even if their longing had once been sincere, no one could justify their misdeeds.
Simply put, what they did was not unavoidable but rather a matter of creating more unjust victims.
In the end, the two were assigned to the 7th Legion.
Even so, luis and Pedro resented those who had thrown them into this demon realm.
Naturally, their habits hadn't changed.
This ti, the object of their admiration was none other than Major Kelian.
—If I can impress him, maybe I can return.
—If I gain his deep trust, it might be possible.
Especially in the 7th Legion, there were plenty of scapegoats around to build that trust.
The boy standing before their eyes—Louis—was one of them.
Gaining favor with the officers here was extrely simple.
Just beat or torture the soldiers.
In their previous unit, such actions would have been a problem, but here, they could wield power freely.
Now that they'd been called into Kelian's office, Luis and Pedro saw a huge opportunity.
No matter what, they had to win the major's trust.
To achieve that, they would use this Louis as a scapegoat.
'I smuggled so supplies yesterday; this is perfect!'
'I just need to pin it on him!'
Among the pilfered goods, there were even so belonging to the major.
Imagine what would happen if they blad it all on Louis.
Not only would their own cris disappear, but Louis's reward could even be canceled.
'What did he just say? That not having a girlfriend isn't a cri, so I should live that way forever?'
Honestly, they wanted to chop off his head on the spot, but that wasn't possible in front of the major.
Instead, if they could use this situation well, they could crush the boy and win Kelian's trust at the sa ti.
"What are you doing! Aren't you going to greet the major?"
Pedro shouted as he smacked Louis on the head. Louis just stared vacantly at Kelian.
Then Louis spoke.
"Big Bro, are you the major?"
Huh? For a mont, luis and Pedro doubted their ears.
Had they misheard? As they blinked in confusion, a chilly tension filled the office.
This was the 7th Legion, where saying the wrong thing could land you in hell.
No matter how much of a heinous criminal a soldier might be, in front of an officer, they usually fell silent.
But what...? Big Bro? And to the far superior major, no less?
Luis and Pedro were so stunned they shook all over.
"What an amusing thing to say."
Amidst the cold mood, Kelian stood up and spoke.
Kelian slowly approached Louis, and the two began to sweat with anxiety.
Even though they themselves weren't in imdiate danger, the tension was hair-raising.
They looked at Louis, the cause of this ss, and thought,
'You're dead now.'
Kelian lowered his head and placed his hand on Louis's shoulder.
"Say that again."
Was he giving him a chance to correct himself?
Then the right answer would be to change his words imdiately.
Of course, even if he changed them, it probably wouldn't matter, but at the very least, if he wanted to survive...
"Kelian big bro~"
As Louis repeated it, luis and Pedro were completely petrified.
Kelian, anwhile, wore a aningful smile—a dangerous one that could go any direction.
He'd just lit the fuse on a bomb that shouldn't be touched.
Their hearts began to race as they watched the atmosphere escalate around Louis.
"I really like that!"
"...?"
"Calling
big bro ans I look young, doesn't it? You're the first soldier to notice how I feel inside."
Kelian suddenly smiled at Louis as if flowers had blood, praising him.
"What are you waiting for? Co and take a seat."
The completely unexpected turn of events was beyond the comprehension of Luis and Pedro.
Of course, it was also a ridiculous situation for Louis.
