Mommy Isolet

Ugh, uuh

.Hmm?

Late at night, Isolet, who had been peacefully sleeping in her bed, quietly opened her eyes.

Whats that sound?

It was because she heard a strange noise coming from somewhere.

Ssk

Slightly tensing up at the sound of that voice, Isolet reached for the sword she always kept by the bed. But then she shook her head with a slight chuckle.

Hfft Its just Frey.

She stretches to shake off the drowsiness that has been taking over her since she just woke up.

The one who was in her room was not a ghost nor an intruder. Its just her cute Frey. So, it was fine.

But he seems a bit strange today.

Isolet was about to lie back down, but soon shook her head and began contemplating Freys peculiar behavior.

It was because it had been on her mind ever since.

Initially, I thought he was just trying to seduce me, just like in the old days, but today feels different. Somehow, it feels a bit strange.

Frey, for some reason, firmly believed in the legend that the Ring of Oath she had gifted had a hypnotic effect.

At the time when he extended the ring and, with a cute expression, issued the command for them to stay together in the same room, she thought that Frey was openly displaying his lust towards her.

Therefore, she was pondering what to do if, in the middle of the night, Frey came to make a move on her, attempting to impose the rings effect and whispering for her not to resist.

Should she tightly shut her eyes and endure it, give in, or honestly tell him that the ring actually had no effect?

Is there something wrong? Ive been receiving calls from Kania and Irina since a while ago

I-its fine! I said its fine Please just tell them that Im fine.

Still

What I want right now is you, Sis.

When Frey entered the room and said those words desperately, Isolet was concerned that Frey might make a move on her in the middle of the night.

You really dont want to have dinner first and go straight to sleep already?

I have no appetite.

But, even so, you look so frail

Sleep well, Sis.

After Frey entered the room, he looked around anxiously and covered himself with a blanket.

I can make you a sandwich

Darn it.

Isolet couldnt help but to obey Frey, who flashed the ring of oath with a cute expression on his face.

Step, step

Emm-hmm, hmm-hmm.

Her body slightly heated up at the thought of obediently doing what he wanted. Afterwards, going back and forth between their bed.

Ssk, sssk

She cautiously caressed Freys cheek as he slept.

Shift Toss

She tossed and turned her feverish body, yet nothing happened.

No way he just left me alone

Before she knew it, she self-reflected on what she was thinking, questioning where her knightly behavior had gone and blamed herself for becoming so lewd.

She cooled herself down on the bed and eventually fell asleep.

Ugh, ugh

?

As the small happenings of the day seemed to come to an end, Isolet, now awake, felt there was something unusual that had happened.

Frey, are you o

Cautiously, Isolet brought her sword in hand, just in case, and headed towards the bed where Frey was lying down.

H-heikkkk!

!

Startled, she stepped back.

S-spare me Please spare me

Frey flipped the blanked and trembled as he looked towards her.

Im sorry Ill stay quiet, just please dont kill me. Ill endure any torture, anything, please

Ssrk.

Ah?

For some reason, Frey was in a serious state of panic. When Isolet realized that his gaze was focused on the sword she was holding, she hid the sword behind her. Then Frey, who was hyperventilating due to fear, quietly tilted his head.

Is the nightmare already over?

Frey mumbled.

Its not a dream. This is reality.

!?

What in the world is happening?

Unable to watch him any longer, Isolet grabbed his hand and asked. Frey responded with his eyes wide open.

S-sister? Is that really you?

Yes.

Y-youre lying.

However, Frey shrunk back with a terrified expression.

I asked many times every single time you said that you are Isolet but you always ended up strangling me

Frey? What are you talking about

G-go away. If this is not a dream, whats the sound Im hearing?

As Frey raised his voice, Isolet tilted her head in confusion.

I hear screams from all directions the voices of people dying, resenting me, cursing as they rushed towards me The burning empire, decaying corpses

Frey?

Illusions stemming from memories of past cycles continued to invade his mind. And when he heard Isolet called his name, Frey paled and shouted at her.

The sound of Arias crying is filling the room! Im realizing where I heard that sound before

Calm down, Frey. Its just a dream

That was when Father died

What?

I-Im sorry Aria

Despite her cautious attempt to reach out, Frey flipped the blanket again and muttered.

Im scared Everything is so scary. Everyone is trying to kill me

I cant give up I have to overcome it somehow If its not me, who else can do it? Its just too scary; I cant even breathe

Then, Frey suddenly stopped. Instead, he started to tremble and cover his ears.

Huuuaaaaah

The auditory hallucination of his sisters cries, which he heard in the carriage he rode with Kania when he left the mansion a year ago, continued to echo in his head.

That eye that eye

When Frey, who had been trembling for a while, mumbled those words.

Whoosh!

Isolet hugged him tightly. She cant stand the sight of her Frey like that.

!

Thanks to that, Frey, who was on high guard and wildly thrashing about, gradually calmed down as Isolet closed her eyes and continued to hug him.

Gasp, gasp

As his movements subsided completely, Frey, breathing heavily, whispered.

Sister, is that really you?

Isolet nodded without saying a word. Frey asked a question with his face buried in her arms.

When did I wake up?

Just now. You suddenly started convulsing, so I held you tightly to wake you up.

Really? I see.

Frey nodded, believing Isolets words, and then buried his face in her arms again.

Drip

Even so, he was still sweating and trembling.

Its an order.

He tried to forget the crippling fear he had just experienced as he was embraced by Isolet. Then Frey suddenly pushed the ring toward Isolet and whispered.

From now on, when its just two of us please speak informally.

?

Hearing you speak formally sounds awkward. It doesnt feel like you, Sis. This is an order.

As Isolet silently looked at Frey and nodded, he whispered again.

Also

!!!

Hearing Freys whisper in her ear, Isolet froze in place.

Th-that Are you asking me to prepare myself emotionally, Frey?

Im sorry, Sis

Isolet blushed profusely as she listened to Freys hazy whisper.

Theres no other way

However, before he could finish whispering, Frey felt drowsy in Isolets warm embrace and fell asleep again.

Holding him in her arms and recalling his meaningful remarks from earlier, Isolet whispered softly.

Indeed, theres something you hide, Frey.

Did such overwhelming trauma always torment Frey?

Seeing him asleep wasnt a common occurrence for her, but based on what she had witnessed today, it seemed like such episodes happened more frequently than she thought.

Then, what did all those seemingly wicked actions he displayed so far mean?

Something didnt add up. No matter how much she thought about it, it was too strange.

Clearly, further investigation was needed.

Also

Em, hmmm, hmm

Tremble

Frey?

Blushing as she recalled the words Frey had whispered in her ear just moments ago, Isolet, with Frey nestled in her arms, called his name softly as he shivered again.

Mom

Then, she heard the words uttered by Frey, who looked distressed as if he was having a nightmare.

I miss you

Isolet, who was trying to carefully shake Frey to wake him up, heard those words filled with grief. She quickly swallowed dryly and looked down at him with maternal love.

Considering what he just said

After staring at him for a while, Isolet quietly lifted the clothes she was wearing and enveloped Frey in her own attire.

Just like during the inauguration ceremony several months ago.

Hmm.

After a while, Isolet, who felt a tingling sensation on her chest, involuntarily let out a rough breath.

Slurp

G-good boy. Well done

Taking this moment as an opportunity to emotionally prepare herself, she decided to play the role of Freys mother until morning came.

.

.

.

.

.

Just like that, the night passed, and morning arrived.

.Slurp?

Unlike yesterday, Frey was dressed neatly in his school uniform and was about to leave the dormitory. However, when he felt that his mouth was wet for some reason, he tilted his head and wiped the corner of his mouth.

?

And for some reason, his jaw felt stiff.

F-Frey. Then Ill see you later.

Okay, Sister.

Isolet lowered her eyes and spoke in a strange tone while sitting on her bed and fidgeting oddly. This caused him to respond with a slightly confused expression. He scratched his head and left the dormitory.

Im scared, Im scared, Im scared

At the same time, another fear struck him.

I want to go back

He cowered like a kitten that had escaped its warm mothers embrace and was thrown into an unfamiliar place. He glanced at the dormitory behind him a few times and then took a step forward.

I-I can do this I must not fall apart here.

His legs were shaking with terror as he felt eyes gazing at him from all directions, but he mustered his resolve and moved forward, driven solely by a sense of responsibility.

Ssk

He looked around, then took out a cloak from his pocket, and put it on.

Step, step

Thus, in the early morning before the sun rose, Frey transformed into the Hero of Money, striding through the deserted corridor.

?

Occasionally, he encountered a few students, but mostly, they just glanced and passed by, thanks to the effect of the cloak.

Huft, ah

Finally feeling a sense of relief in his heart, Frey sighed, thinking that he should make good use of the cloak until the situation improved. He then quickly moved his footsteps.

..Hmm.

However, as he walked, he suddenly stopped and began to look around.

[1st Year Class A]

Staring blankly at the class where he served as the professor in charge, Frey cautiously entered the classroom.

Frey stared blankly at the class where he served as the professor, then he cautiously entered the classroom.

That damned bastard said he would make us unable to approach this side even if he had to die

What if hes hiding something?

Several students were chatting while banging and shaking the lectern.

Did he hide a lover down there? Sometimes, during class, he would grab the lectern and start shaking.

Nah, no way.

Still It might be worth investigating

The moment a student said that and stretched out a hand towards the lectern

Bang!!

!!!

Watching the scene unfold, Frey forcefully swung the classroom door open.

Phew.

Watching the first-year students scramble outside the classroom with terrified expressions due to that sound, Frey wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. Soon, he moved at a leisurely pace.

Starting today, I have to live as a second-year student I should probably bring out Alice.

Muttering to himself, Frey reevaluated his plan to rescue her and become friends with her while he was acting as the Hero of Money.

Heub.

Soon, he took a deep breath and dispelled the magic circle attached to the lectern.

Creak

A little later, the drawer beneath the lectern started to open after being locked for a week.

Ebeub eub

As the drawer opened, it revealed Alice clinging to the door despite the spacious space behind.

Ebeub! Eeeeebeub!!!

When the drawer swung open, Alice collapsed to the floor with her entire body bound up. She began flailing around on the floor. Tears welled up in her eyes as she finally saw the light for the first time in a while.

Ebeub?

Then, she realized someone was standing in front of her.

..!!!

Alice, who admired the Hero of Money more than anyone else, quickly recognized his identity. With trembling eyes, she began looking up at him. However

Uu, uuu uuu

For some reason, he stared at her with a terrified expression, beads of cold sweat forming on his forehead.

Eub? Uuubebb!

Srrrk

H-Hero of Money! Perhaps, did you come to save me

Sensing that something was off, she sat upright, looking at him with a puzzled expression. When the Hero of Money removed the gag from her mouth, she crawled to him on her knees and asked him a question.

H-heiiiik!

Huh?

As he continued to gaze at Alice, still with a terrified expression, he let out a scream of horror and fell backwards. Then, once again, confusion dominated her expression.

P-please spare my life

Pardon?

And his expression

J-just spare my life please

H-Hero?

For some reason, the Hero of Money began to beg for his life while holding her left arm, and he started to become rigid.

Ah, it hurts Hegeuk

The final moments of the people she had dealt with so far flashed before her eyes. For some reason, the panic-stricken appearance of the Hero of Money overlapped with them.
