I, Who Was Dismissed as Worthless Failure by my Family and Fiancée, Discovered I had Reincarnated as a Game Character I Raised with Great Care and Vowed to Take Control of my Life and Defy Anyone who Opposes Me. - Chapter 25: Even if it's Rotten, it's still a Sea Bream

Chapter 25: Even if it’s Rotten, it’s still a Sea Bream

As I walked towards the dining room to have breakfast, I ran into my younger brother Douglas while he was returning to his room, as our family had separated our mealtime.

I had intended to time it so that I would arrive after my family had finished, but it seems that I was a little early.

Honestly, he’s such an inflexible pain until the very end.

And then, Douglas said so and punched me in the stomach. 

In the past, I would have been writhing in pain from that blow, but now that I had transferred my game status, I only felt it like a mosquito bite.

However, today was the perfect opportunity to release all the pent-up frustration I had bottled up until now.

If I act weirdly and arouse his suspicion, there’s a chance he’ll cancel the duel we were supposed to have today, and that would be a disaster. So, I squatted down holding my stomach like I used to and pretended to be affected by Douglas’s attack.

“Hmm? I felt like your reaction was a little slower for a moment…”

“Hey, what are you doing? Today is your moment to shine. We have plenty to do before everyone gets together. We don’t have time to waste on trash like him.”

“Yes, Father… Perhaps it was just my imagination. Besides, this loser can’t withstand my attacks, even if I held back a little. He’s not capable of it.”

However, Douglas seemed to have caught on to the fact that my reaction was a bit slow for a moment and looked suspicious, but he disappeared from my sight as his father urged him to hurry up. 

“Oh, that was close… I was lost for a moment, but to think he could detect that momentary discomfort. I guess it just goes to show the true ability of someone who has received the education of the Kvist family. I suppose I’ve been looking down on my little brother too much.”

In any case, with the lineage alone, we were one of the most prominent families in the Empire. Those who inherited our bloodline were given a top-notch education without sparing any expense, which means even a rotten fish is a sea bream in our family.

However, now that things have changed, this information is no longer relevant and can be considered insignificant.

“M-master… C-can I punch him? Please, can I? Move aside so I can hit him! I can’t just stand here!”

However, right now, what’s urgently needed is information on how to calm down the slave who appeared through transfer magic and is now on the verge of a furious rampage.
