The Strongest Brother Lost His Memory Chapter 32

The atmosphere completely shifted because of Fire.

Zahid sighed deeply, as though he had a headache.

This was because Fire, with his massive tail wagging, was pressed right up against .

"That's strange..."

Zahid muttered, looking stunned.

"I’ve never seen Fire follow anyone other than ... What exactly did you do?"

"Well."

I paused for a mont, then answered gently.

"...Existence?"

PM 3:11 – Rosie is giving a completely unnecessary answer unnecessarily gently.

"What... I’ll explain."

I spoke to Zahid, who looked extrely exhausted.

"From now on, your fiancée won’t change. Because soon, you'll be able to move around again."

Right now, Zahid couldn’t do anything for the Duchy because of his mana overload.

Honestly, just sitting up and talking with was him barely holding on ntally.

"What do you an by that?"

Zahid asked sharply, and I responded calmly.

"I’ve requested the production of sedatives from the Magic Tower. The Magic Tower is no longer struggling financially."

This was sothing I had already arranged through Shulva.

Normally, the Magic Tower would have gone bankrupt at this point.

Because of the announcent of the Lomsuk mines, the price of mana stones crashed, and they couldn’t survive the financial strain.

And the organization that would have taken over the Magic Tower in this case would have been the Temple.

So, even after the revelation that the Lomsuk mines were almost depleted, the Magic Tower still wouldn’t have been able to produce the sedatives.

The Temple’s approval hadn’t co through.

‘But this ti, I stopped the bankruptcy.’

I had invested a massive sum of 137 billion gold into the Magic Tower.

Of course, I made more than three tis that amount, but at the sa ti, I helped the Magic Tower avoid bankruptcy during a tough period.

‘And I had them use the remaining amount to make the sedatives.’

For a while, the Magic Tower had been reluctant to make the sedatives, worried about the Temple's gaze.

No matter how much money was offered, they expressed difficulty in making the sedatives.

But now that there was no risk of being absorbed by the Temple...

So they agreed to produce the sedatives in large quantities, as I requested.

"When I head back to the Noart Count Family, I’ll visit the Magic Tower directly to hurry them along, but anyway, if you wait, the sedatives should arrive soon."

"...What?"

"With that, we can calm your mana overload. So, you’ll be able to lead your family from now on."

Zahid didn’t seem very pleased.

Instead, he looked at with a sowhat confused expression and slowly said:

"If the Magic Tower has started making the sedatives, then you can just buy them from the Dyfenril Duchy. There’s no need for Noart to get involved."

"I made such a large advance order that even if you want to buy it, you probably won’t be able to for a while. Just take it. Sister has a lot of money. Consider it an engagent gift."

Zahid made an even stranger face at my words.

"You."

"Not you. Rosie."

"Why are you going this far?"

Zahid asked with a bewildered look on his face.

And I answered as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.

"Because I want to stay engaged to you. I don’t want to receive the annulnt letter."

"So what’s the ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) point?"

Zahid spoke with a frustrated tone.

"My mana overload stopping wouldn’t be a good thing for the Noart Count Family. You all would lose the justification for interfering in Dyfenril’s matters."

He furrowed his brow and pressed on.

"Great Noble’s eting? The Noart Count can’t represent for that for much longer. Is those few years really that important?"

"Not really."

"Then why are you still engaged to ...?"

I silently looked at Zahid.

From now on, the Temple would start tornting Zahid even more.

Because the Temple was still after Fire.

‘The Grand Minister wants to have all four of your Divine Beasts. So I have to stay by Zahid’s side and protect this one.’

And then...

"When you don’t fix that hopeless kid and sohow keep him by your side to marry him, just don’t get involved. Ah, um, honestly, this was a bit personal. You can ignore it."

When I heard that before, my path was already decided.

In the end, I made my first confession, one from a long ti ago.

"I like you."

I, too, was honestly adding a bit of selfishness to it.

"I like you."

Before the regression, I had never been able to say these words.

I had always felt like I would beco a bigger burden to Zahid, adding more weight to his already heavy load.

I felt like I might cry, but I held it back and smiled as I spoke.

"I really like you, Zahid."

PM 3:19 – Rosie's appearance-centered thinking hasn’t changed at all. She confesses to the arrogant boy she’s eting for the first ti.

"...Huh?"

Zahid’s face went blank.

He stared at , holding the bouquet, looking bewildered.

"I told you. I like you."

I said it gently again.

"Of course, the current you is a bit hopeless, but I think it’d be really nice if I could sweet-talk you and marry you after you beco an adult."

"Hey, hey, what... what are you saying...?"

"But if we’re going to do that, we have to keep being involved. If we’re engaged like this, it’ll be more convenient and better."

This was sothing Zahid had subtly hinted at before the regression.

But just because Zahid wanted it back then didn’t an he would want it now.

"I don’t believe it! When, when did you see to say sothing like that...?"

"I’m the one confessing, so why are you acting shy? You don’t even need to turn red. Don’t be embarrassed. What’s so weird about liking soone?"

"You’re making it more embarrassing!"

PM 3:21 – Talking seriously about liking soone, being embarrassed... It’s so ridiculous.

Honestly, it’s too funny. What are these kids doing? Shouldn’t you be at least thirteen like to be discussing love?

"Anyway, let’s do this."

I looked at Zahid, whose ears were bright red, and said kindly.

"Fifteen years. I’ll wait until then."

Honestly, I knew this engagent was forced.

"After fifteen years, if you still don’t like , I’ll give up cleanly and accept the annulnt."

"...Fifteen years? Are you joking? At that age, everyone with a fiancée is already getting married. Isn’t this just saying you’ll marry without thinking? Absolutely not!"

"Hmph."

I’ve been caught.

It was just sothing I said to see his reaction...

In the end, I reluctantly said the period I had originally planned.

"Then, until adulthood."

"Eh?"

"I’ll wait until you co of age. If you don’t like by then, it’s fine to break off the engagent."

Zahid still had a long way to go until adulthood.

Well, I’d have to try to make Zahid like again by then.

Just like how my amnesiac brother started liking again.

"...But you will like . I’m sure I’m right."

Even Zahid, who had lost his mory, might end up liking again.

PM 3:25 – Rosie is backing off a bit. Seems like she’s worried about the reversal of feelings during puberty.

I smiled brightly and asked,

"What do you think?"

"Honestly, I think this is nonsense."

Zahid laughed in disbelief.

"But well, if you’re going to get the sedative like that, I don’t see a reason to refuse. Since I don’t plan on getting married anyway, there’s no loss in staying engaged until I co of age."

He emphasized the word ‘adulthood’ clearly.

It seed like he wanted to make sure I got the ssage: "I’m definitely going to break off the engagent."

"You’re so fickle, so I think your feelings will change in the middle."

"Not , Rosie. And my feelings won’t change. Don’t hold onto that hope. It would be more natural if you liked ."

PM 3:28 – Anyway, they’re engaged. Looking at it now, it seems like things have gone as Rosie wanted.

After adulthood, a broken engagent would naturally occur if soone’s feelings change, even without conditions like these, right?

"Don’t hold onto hope. I won’t ever like you."

"Hmph."

PM 3:29 – It's funny watching him stubbornly deny it with his ears red. I think it’ll be fun when Zahid cries, clinging to Rosie, begging her not to leave him later.
