brothers fight back

Albert finished writing the mission report at home, put them neatly into a folder, and then got up to submit it.

Just when he put on his clothes neatly, opened the curtains, and saw the three of William who had returned early.

Watching the three of them enter the mansion suspiciously, Albert went downstairs with the folder, "I came back earlier than I expected, and the matter ended smoothly?"

"Yes." William nodded, "I have obtained the qualification certificate."

"Congratulations." Albert said congratulations to William, then looked at Louis and Jiuji, and found that the faces of these two people were not right, "What's wrong with you?"

Facing Albert's question, Louis and Hisashi remained silent at the same time, and neither of them opened their mouths to answer.

Albert frowned, "What happened to you outside?"

William's eyes fell on the folder in Albert's hand implicitly: "Didn't my brother have something to go out to deal with? Leave the matters of the younger brothers to me."

Hearing this, Albert turned his gaze to look at William, met William's firm gaze, Albert nodded after hesitating for a moment, and reluctantly agreed to his proposal, but before leaving, he still worried: "What's important?" The decision will be discussed when I come back."

"Okay, brother Albert." William replied obediently, with an extremely innocent and harmless smile on his face.

The more straightforward William's answer, the more worried Albert was: "...Remember my words. Important decisions, we can discuss them when I come back."

"Well. Go slowly, brother."

"..."

Watching Albert leave, William turned around and faced the two younger brothers who were sitting upright, with a gentle look on his face: "Since you all have no objection to the next arrangement, let's start discussing tomorrow's class arrangement."

Hearing this, Louis and Hisashi immediately sat upright.

Hisashi raised his hand first to express his opinion, "Just now when Brother William asked our opinion, Brother Albert happened to interrupt the topic. Strictly speaking, Brother Louis and I did not express any opinions."

Louis nodded reservedly.

"Didn't Jiuji complain last night that the brothers didn't take you with them?" William quietly listened to Jiuji's appeal, and then began to help Jiuji recall the past, "Or did Jiuji finally admit that he was "hiding" from the brothers? "

"I didn't "hide", it's clear that the brothers didn't take me with them in everything they did before. "

The "things" that Kuji's words refer to are definitely not the studies that William proposed at this time. Regarding this point, even Louis, who heard Kuji say these words for the first time, understood after a little thought.

Apparently, the current William deliberately pretended not to know the specific incident that Jiuji pointed out, so he caught the loopholes in his language and went on steadily.

"Hmm... It seems that Jiuji has not forgotten what he said. So, from now on, I will take you with me at Jiuji's request, why do I want to run away again?" William looked at Jiuji seriously.

From "hiding" to "running away", Jiuji, who was forced to bear the pressure that shouldn't be faced at this age: "..."

Jiuji was defeated, leaving only Louis who put William's brother first in everything. Without waiting for William to persuade, Louis immediately agreed to go to school to study mathematics.

"I will do my best to support Brother William's career." After speaking, Louis got up and went to the kitchen to calm down.

Seeing Louis "leaving" and running away by himself, Kuji secretly thought that something was wrong, and hurriedly got up, "Brother William, I'm going to help Brother Louis prepare lunch together."

"Kusi, stay here." William's eyes fell on the wrist that was exposed by Jiuji's movement.

"Oh." Hisashi, who was named by William to stay in the hall, sat down reluctantly.

"Take off your gloves." William tapped on the arm of the chair.

"..."

I thought my brothers had forgotten about my physical problems because of Kenneth's appearance, so I was waiting here... Hisashi sighed helplessly, took off his gloves resignedly, and appeared like a glass container filled with clear water In William's sight.

"Would a normal human being look like me? Brother William, I'm a monster." Jiuji sighed while looking at his hand.

——What he tried his best to hide will be revealed to his brothers sooner or later.

How would they... see themselves?

"What else is similar to this on your body?" William raised his eyes and looked at Jiusi seriously.

William's attitude was so natural that Jiuji looked at William in a daze, and replied in a loud voice: "Except for the face, everything else..."

Seeing that William had a terrified expression after he finished speaking, Jiuji hurriedly added: "This change won't last long. It will return to normal after a while."

"How long do you mean by 'later'? "William saw Jiuji's physical changes, and immediately remembered the magic and mysticism he came into contact with when investigating Kenneth.

Perhaps Jiuji's body changes are related to magic, but thinking that Jiuji's "abnormal" body may be due to magic changes, he feels extremely irritable.

"Sometimes it's the whole morning, sometimes it's blinking, and I don't know the pattern." Although Kuji is well-read and knows many things, he is most afraid of things related to numbers.

This question was asked by a persistent elder brother who has extremely strict and precise requirements for the presentation of numbers. Jiuji knew that he could not answer the exact number, and even his voice weakened.

"You don't know the rules?" William looked at Jiuji and smiled. He had a new understanding of this younger brother today.

It's fine if you don't pay attention to the dangers around you, even if your physical condition is in obvious danger, you can be so absent-minded.

If it weren't for Jiuji's super strong desire to survive, he would have suspected that his younger brother wanted to die.

"I was wrong." Jiuji was very straightforward in admitting his mistakes.

William didn't talk, he tapped his fingers on the armrest, as if he was waiting for Jiuji to conclude and review what he did wrong.

Aware of William's "intentions," Hisuji bit the bullet and summed up multiple problems from himself.

"It seems that letting you start learning mathematics now is the most correct judgment I have ever made." After Jiuji summed up his own problems, William said lightly.

"Then, from now on, let's start to supplement the basic knowledge of mathematics." William smiled gently at Jiuji.

Facing "torture" which was suddenly put on the agenda, Hisashi Kirikiri: "..."

In the blink of an eye, five years have passed, and William Kujita's kung fu has become more and more superb, especially after learning how to make up and pretend to be other people from Fred.

But despite the upgrade of William's skills over the years, Jiuji's math scores are still the same as five years ago... no progress.

Even Louis, who was barely qualified, didn't expect this.

After all, Hisuji performed very well in other subjects.

Today was the same as usual, the brothers began to fight wits and courage after breakfast, and finally Albert took out Kenneth's recommendation letter and handed it to Jiuji.

Kuji, who made a decision not to go to the Clock Tower a few years ago, now sees Kenneth's recommendation letter as if he saw a life-saving straw. As long as he goes to the Clock Tower to study, he can completely stop the mathematics that made him want to die!

William easily saw through Jiuji's heart, and said deliberately: "Didn't Jiuji reject the invitation of Patriarch El Mello long ago? Why does brother Albert still keep this letter?"

"At that time, Jiuji was still young, and he made a decision too quickly. I listened to the advice of others, so I kept this letter and waited until he grew up to confirm whether to go to the clock tower to study." The relationship between Albert and William The tacit understanding was impeccable, and the two talked one after another without making Jiuji notice anything unusual.

Looking at the anticipating Jiuji, Albert said distressedly: "If Jiuji doesn't want to leave the brothers..."

"I'm going to the clock tower to learn powerful magic to protect my brother!" Jiuji couldn't wait for Albert to finish speaking, and couldn't wait to give his answer.

"Really." Albert sighed, "Kusi finally made such a choice, so that's good."

Hearing Albert's strange emotion, Hisuji tilted his head.

"Brother Albert is just lamenting that Jiuji has finally grown into a man who can take care of himself." William took the initiative to resolve the language gap left by Albert, and pushed the envelope on the table to Jiuji, "When you get to the clock tower, find out your body first. Abnormal reason."

Since the abnormality of Jiuji's body five years ago, it has not reappeared in these years, but the three brothers all remember this incident, and spent manpower and material resources to investigate secretly, but unfortunately they did not gain anything.

Hearing William's request, Jiuji was a little surprised. He murmured: "I thought Brother William would tell me not to forget to do the quiz when I went to the Clock Tower."

"Heh." William showed an extremely devilish smile, "Did you think that after going to the Clock Tower to study, you would never have to go home? It only takes half an hour to drive a carriage from home to the Clock Tower. And..."

William adjusted his posture and continued to whisper the devil: "I will prepare the same amount of test questions as Jiusi's time at school, and one day's pocket money will be deducted for one less question. Jiusi probably doesn't want to study at school but doesn't even have a penny of pocket money." Bar?"

Kuji: "..."

Louis and Albert, who were watching the audience, each turned their eyes away, quietly and tacitly trying to reduce their sense of presence in front of William.

In the early morning of the next day, with the help of Louis, Jiuji successfully picked up the packed daily items and set off from the clock tower.

Jiuji, who was traveling alone in the carriage, suddenly lost the excitement of yesterday, and looked out of the window at the brothers who came to see him off with a rather reluctant expression.

This is the first time he left his brother and went to a strange place alone...

"It's only half an hour away from home." William couldn't help but smile when he couldn't bear to look at the child, "Don't make it seem like life and death are far away."

"You are already a man who can stand alone."

"I'm not reluctant." Jiuji replied to William in a muffled voice, and sat upright in the carriage again.He said awkwardly: "I was just worried that you wouldn't be able to see me and would miss me, so I deliberately showed my face for you to see."

"Yeah." William nodded, and said perfunctorily, "It's really sweet."

"In order to repay Jiuji's concern, my brother will prepare more test questions and send them to the clock tower for you. I think that I will have to rely on grading my brother's homework in the future, but I am worried. My brother should prepare test questions for you now."

Hisashi: "..." No need.

"Old man, can we go now!?" Jiu Si hurriedly urged the carriage driver to set off.

"despair--!"

Watching the carriage out of sight, Louis looked back at William, the relaxed look on his face was gradually fading away.

"It's time to start planning."

"……Um."
