Anime, starting from Re:Zero (Zero - Starting Life)

The result of everyone's casual chat is probably:

He will try to use his spare time within half a year to revise and organize the initial version of the magic enlightenment method. After completion, Rudy will decide when to start enlightenment education based on the situation of his sisters. After that, he will go home to teach one day a week.

Rudy only plans to teach magic, and leave the other enlightenment to his family. Both Senis and Lilia are capable enough.

It would be more accurate to say that it is completely sufficient to start training magic and learning the non-chanting technique from a young age. It would not be too slow to learn magic and magical knowledge after adulthood. When his sisters were still in his belly, Rudy still fantasized about the possibility of gifted education, but when he touched his sisters' chubby little faces, he was completely reluctant to give up. At least there was no need to force it, right?

Anyway, he planned to ask Philip for another day off. After all, with Alice's current learning progress, taking an extra day off or spending more time on swordsmanship would be a good choice.

Rudeus has become a complete sister-con.

Let's put this matter aside.

There is another more urgent highlight after the New Year.

Gawain is about to turn ten years old.

After leaving home, naturally, Sylphy and Rudy had to take charge of this matter. It wasn't that they didn't have the ability to do so; after all, Rudy considered himself an adult, having participated in the entire planning of Alice's tenth birthday party, and therefore possessed considerable experience. The real problem was that, in the outside world's perception, Gawain was not even ten years old.

Even the people of the Boreas family who had witnessed Gawain's height changes over the past year did not believe this, not to mention the nobles of Fitoya who had rarely seen Gawain.

Every time this topic comes up, Rudy always perfunctorily says things like "Gao Wen is still young" or "He is still in the growth stage anyway." Maybe it has long been recognized that he is between 15 and 25 years old?

Of course, you may not believe it.

If they really planned to hold a party for Gawain's tenth birthday, there would definitely be a lot of nobles pretending to believe it and participating, bringing along their most outstanding or most beautiful female relatives. If it was a noble from the capital, it wouldn't be impossible for them to send their mothers or wives.

This is where the difficulty lies.

What Sylphy and Rudy wanted was to help Gawain celebrate his important birthday, not to hold a grand social.

Since it wasn't appropriate to invite the Buena Village family, they couldn't even come up with a suitable solution. Should they just have a small celebration with just a few people? Or should they invite the entire Boreas family and the Chamber of Commerce members? Or should they just go all out?

I always feel that either Gao Wen will be unhappy, or they will feel too sorry.

hard to decide.

In another secret conversation.

Rudy had almost given up thinking and was giving up on himself:

"How about this? We'll leave after giving our blessings and gifts. Sylphy, you and Gawain can spend the night together sweetly."

Sylphy raised her hand and launched a chantless shockwave, knocking the outspoken Rudy to the ground with a red face. Sylphy, who was currently the best at wind magic, said dissatisfiedly:

"What are you talking about?"

Rudy lay on the ground with his head tilted back, too lazy to get up. He looked at the ceiling and the street view outside the coffee shop window and sighed:

"Just kidding! Besides, although I think Gawain-san is not like me and must have normal abilities, Sylphy, if you attack Gawain-san, who is only ten years old, I will really take real action and put you in jail, okay?"

Although indoors, the temperature in early spring is still very low, so Sylphy still wears long skirts and long boots or long pants and long boots on a daily basis during this period.

She was very unhappy with Rudy's daily attitude:

"Stop saying things that harass your brother. Besides, I'm the younger sister, why are you putting me in jail?"

Rudy got up, sat back on the sofa, and looked at Sylphy with a gloomy look:

"Do you want to hear the truth?"

Sylphy sipped her drink, wondering what her brother would think of this new product, and nodded casually.

"want."

Rudy is very fond of sighing today:

"Because I've always felt that, now, or rather, for over a year now, it's been you, Sylphy, who's been the one controlling your relationship. Just like at Alice's tenth birthday party, I guess you deceived Gawain while teaching him dance in private, right? After all, even if Gawain loves you and cares about you, he shouldn't be so clueless as to kiss his own sister in public. Common sense says that this is hurtful to you, isn't it?"

"After that, I've been thinking about it. Brother Gawain is different from you, who studied at City College, a place that even Paul despised. He's also different from me, who has a filthy mind. It seems that Brother Gawain, who pursues a purer life, has no other way to understand the details of social common sense except through you, right?"

"I've noticed that every time I want to talk to Gao Wen about boys' topics, you always forcibly stop me, right? Every time I want to tell him some social common sense, you always refute me and say that I don't need to teach you such things, right?"

"I don't know if you're aware of it, but you've been trying to control Brother Gao Wen."

"So, Sylphy, you should understand why we're arresting you, right?"

"Actually, I don't want to go into that much detail. After all, this is something that Gao Wen himself is happy about. To be honest, how things develop between you two siblings is not something I should get involved in."

"But."

"Sylphy, do you really know what you are doing?"

"Do you really know what you want?"

"I'm worried that you'll hurt yourself and Brother Gao Wen because of this, so I have to tell you this, even if it makes you angry and even wants to break up with me."

Sylphy clutched the cup tightly, her snow-white fingers brimming with veins, turning red and white. Her whole body was shaking, and her voice was trembling:

"I don't know what you're... talking about..."

Rudy continued to sigh:

"In this world, ten years old is already an engagement age."

"Wake up, Sylphiet."

Chapter 42: Ten Years Old (2)

The results of the discussion were:

Small celebration, but large announcement.

Of course, Gawain had no objection to this, and Sylphy and Rudy had long known that Gawain would think so. But in fact, Rudy was privately dissatisfied with this result.

Because in his opinion, Sylphy escaped.

Yes, it was Sylphy who suggested the large-scale announcement, and it was a very strong suggestion. She said, "Although I don't want those boring guys to spoil my brother's important birthday, they also need to know and send their blessings. I don't want my brother's birthday to be too quiet."

Rudy understands this all too well.

Isn't Sylphy's true thought: "I'm just his sister. We are brother and sister, extremely close relatives who can't be any closer."

——So, go all out to seek a marriage contract with my brother!

Rudy thought that this girl was simply crazy. He even had some complaints against Brother Gawain. If Gawain had not doted on Sylphy too much and had not cared too much about the obviously important social skills, Sylphy would not have become so twisted.

But fortunately, this is still within the controllable range. Although Rudy is helpless, he does not intend to interfere more deeply. At best, it is just a rebellious period.

After all, Gawain's emotions are just delayed, not undeveloped, and with Gawain's intelligence, he can figure out Sylphy's actions and thoughts within a few years at most, even if he only relies on casual perception.

Not to mention that Gao Wen's feelings for Sylphy are just about to deteriorate, they are so deep that even gods cannot cut them off. Sylphy's feelings for Gao Wen have even begun to deteriorate, but the parties involved just don't admit it.

This is the episode where Rudy knows best.

For a while, he was particularly fond of GALs of this type.

that's it.

Sylphy finalized the invitation list:

Rudius Greyrat, Alice Boreas Greyrat, Gileno Tedrudia.

Sylphy didn't invite her best friends at school, and Rudy didn't consider inviting anyone from the Boreas family or his own family.

Since Rudy was present when the list was finalized, there were only two invitations. This made both Sylphy and Rudy feel a little apologetic. They had clearly wanted to celebrate with great enthusiasm, but in the end, the invitations felt so thin in their hands.

Gao Wen only consoled him:

"It doesn't matter, having you here is enough."

Even Rudy wanted to throw himself into his brother's arms like Sylphy, wuwu.

Alice was very excited when she received the invitation. She seemed to have been wanting to celebrate other people's birthdays since her own birthday. The only thing that bothered her was Gawain's true age. She had always treated Mr. Gawain as an elder, but it seemed that Mr. Gawain was actually younger than her, but it seemed that this was fake, so he was still a senior.

In short, I don’t understand.

Gilena was delighted to receive the invitation, at least wagging her tail. She seemed to haven't expected to qualify. Having experienced Miss Alice's birthday celebration before, Gilena wasn't nervous at all; she possessed valuable experience that she could put to good use.

Philip wasn't surprised that he didn't receive an invitation. He just smiled and told his daughter to come to him if she needed help. On the contrary, Saulos seemed to be sulking. Rudy could only force a smile to comfort the old man, saying that this was a children's party after all. However, his kindness was not rewarded. Not only was Rudy slapped on the head, but he was also yelled at, "I don't need you to teach me this kind of thing! Rudius!"

This is definitely not a tutor's job, right?

Since it is not a big banquet, there is no need to start preparing too far in advance.

Except for gifts.

Regardless of the chaos on Rudy's side, even Sylphy was in a difficult decision-making situation. After all, her brother seemed to have everything he needed now, and she didn't know what to give him to prove her love and sincerity.

Sylphy felt that her gift was very important. If she was perfunctory, even her brother wouldn't be able to take it lightly and would definitely be secretly sad, right?

The day of February 15th is getting closer.

While helping her brother with housework every day, Sylphy had to deal with more and more invitations and visiting cards. Even at school, she could hear passers-by discussing gossip such as how many nobles were recently introducing their daughters to the big boss of the Vitrum Chamber of Commerce.

Even Sylphy's friends were asking her about related matters, and they asked her directly and frankly, "Sylphy-chan, is there a future sister-in-law that you really like?" Sylphy always denied it with a smile, "My brother has very high standards."

But even the polite smile became more forced.

So sorry.

My heart feels like it's being ripped apart.

Sylphy wrote this in her diary.

Look, my brother and I have different hair colors, eye colors, ears, and appearances. We are not biological siblings!

Sylphy wanted to say that, but she just smiled.

The situation became increasingly chaotic.

February 15th, 416th year of the Jialong calendar has arrived.

At 6:00:00, Gawain opened his eyes.

Sylphy, with her long green hair already reaching her hips, was kneeling beside him, waiting.

"Brother, good morning! Happy birthday~"

Sylphy held her hair up and smiled gently. She lowered her head and gave her brother a sweet good morning kiss on his forehead.

Gao Wen just smiled helplessly:

"You're only allowed to get up early and go to bed late once in a while, otherwise you really won't grow taller."

Sylphy put her hands on her hips angrily, and said with a little complacency:

"I just secretly measured it yesterday! Sylphy is already 141cm? She's grown over ten centimeters in a year! Pretty impressive, isn't she?"

Gao Wen sat up, rubbed his sister's hair, and praised:

"That's amazing! If Sylphy keeps going like this, maybe she'll be around 1.6 meters tall by the time she's ten."

Although it was a bit strange to be told this by her brother who was already 1.65 meters tall, Sylphy couldn't help but giggle. After all, she was trying hard to grow taller so that she could look more like her brother in the future.

Chatting, the brother and sister got up together.

Although their morning routines are usually inconsistent, their paces are surprisingly similar at this time. They almost finish washing up at the same time, and then start making breakfast in cooperation with each other.

Sylphy had taken a day off from school today, and Gawain had postponed his work schedule, so they didn't prepare any lunch boxes.

They ate breakfast together.

Chatting about random things.

There was nothing special to do in the morning, so Gawain started teaching Sylphy how to paint. His painting skills were not artistic at all, but his ability to objectively depict the appearance of things was excellent and even perfect, so Sylphy had begged to learn from him.

First, follow the progress of last time.

Then Gawain was used as a model for Sylphy to practice on. Gawain without his shirt was no longer the same as he was in Buena Village. With the help of high-intensity training, Gawain's development speed was faster than expected. According to the standards of the Vic people, he had entered the early stages of sexual maturity. The muscle curves all over his body were clear. Although he was not yet strong, he also showed a strong sense of presence and strength, making him the best physical reference.

Sylphy observed and portrayed carefully.

The only sound in the empty room was the sound of the pen brushing across paper.

Very quiet.

Chapter 43: Ten Years Old (3)

The birthday party has begun.

Although there were only five people involved.

Rudy and his two companions arrived early in the afternoon and played board games with Gawain and his sister for the entire afternoon. This was of course a game that Rudy had spent a lot of time designing and perfecting.
