Volume 4 Chapter 64
Charles’ abilities
[I’m back.]
I was talking to Charles and Rifa when Tina came back.
[Tina! Welcome back.]
Charles greeted Tina, who was greeted by Charles.
[You’re here, Charles-sama. It’s been a while.]
[Long time no see, I heard you and Haruto got married. Congratulations!]
Charles hugs Tina.
Does she hug you at every turn?
[Thank you.
[You used to always stare at me with an awesome look on your face when I was playing with Haruto. It’s nice to be with Haruto.]
[Oh, did you see that coming?]
Yes, I did.
[I mean, now that he’s married, Tina would never give Haruto out.]
[Yes, Haruto-sama is mine now.]
Tina said with a delighted face.
[Wait a minute. Because you married my brother, that also means Tina is now my family too. And since the property of that family also belongs to them, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that Haruto is also mine.]
What, what kind of reasoning is that!?
No matter how you think about it, it’s too much!
[Oh!? Look at the time.]
Tina, I’m not a pushy person.
But still…
[My sister is beautiful, if she doesn’t say anything at least. I wish I wouldn’t be your brother.]
[Haruto, you said I’m beautiful!]
No, that’s just all you heard.
Your ears are too picky.
[To tell you the truth, there has been a lot of talk about marriage proposals. Most of the men who ask me to marry them are either after the Count’s fortune, or they really just want to see me. The rest of them are just thinking about something else, but it’s not good.]
[Your sister has always had great insight. It’s only natural that your sister would not be taken seriously if she were to show any ulterior motives.]
[My insight is a skill, actually. I actually know what they’re thinking.]
[[──!?]]
Charles just said something outrageous.
Tina and Rifa were also surprised.
What? Isn’t she just guessing what they were thinking based on their reaction or something?
Okay, what am I thinking?
[Yes, I do. There’s always one subject, but I can always tell what someone’s thinking.]
She read my thoughts.
[….You’re serious.]
[Serious. This is a skill called mind reading. It’s extremely rare.]
[I guess it would.]
How can there be anyone around with the skill to read people’s thoughts?
[By the way, the only people who know how to read minds are my parents, the royalty of this country, and the rest of you, so please don’t tell anyone else about it.
Hey! You can’t just come out with something that important and expect us to hide it!
But wait if the royals know about it, then maybe…
[That’s very clever of you, Haruto. I work for the State Intelligence Service. It wouldn’t do me any good to have a spy who wouldn’t talk under any kind of torture.]
So that’s why it comes in handy for the country.
[Oh, I’ve always been the only one in my family to read thoughts, Haruto, so don’t worry about Tina or Rifa-chan.]
No, you’re going to read mine!
Hmm, wait….
Does she know about my past?
I mean, do they know I’m a reincarnation?
[Heh.]
Charles just laughed as she gazed at me.
[It’s okay. I didn’t tell anyone about it.]
Oh my God.
Charles knew about it All along
Tina knows, but I hadn’t even told Rifa about it yet.
I never thought my own sister would know.
I don’t know what to do.
But Rifa is my wife, so I don’t think she would do anything against me.
That’s why…
[Rifa, I’d actually like to tell you a secret too]
And so I told Rifa that I was a reincarnated person.
That I was cursed by an evil god.
I told Rifa that the curse gave me the power I have now, and so on.
[An evil god…he’s real? But I guess that would explain Haruto-san’s unusual power. We can definitely see that he has infinite magical power.]
I think Rifa believed me.
Well, Rifa actually saw my magic so I guess she has reason to.
[I will never tell anyone what I just heard. But if there is someone who can read your thoughts like your sister-in-law, they might find out about Haruto-san.\
Rifa seems to regret having heard my story.
There are four people who know I’m a reincarnation: the wise head of the magic academy, Luano-ver-Iffles, the hero Tina, my sister Charles, and Rifa.
Since Charles graduated from the magic academy at the top of his class, she’s not the kind of person who would be caught by anyone. Also Charles is working for the country’s secret service and has a bodyguard, apparently.
That makes Rifa the least capable of fighting among the four of us.
That’s why she seems to be afraid that she’ll be captured and the enemy will find out about me.
[Don’t worry, even if they find out everything you just told them, it won’t matter. Besides, I’ll protect Rifa.]
[Haruto-san,]
[Hah, that’s hot. Haruto, if I get attacked by someone, you also have to help me.]
I tried to say something nice, but Charles teased me.
[I’m sure sister can handle herself.]
I won’t play with her.
[Tsk.]
Charles sulked.
[You had it coming.]
[Oh, by the way, I heard you guys are having your wedding reception next month.]
[Yeah,]
I’m glad they didn’t tell me they’ll do it tomorrow like they did with Alheim.
I’m the son of an earl, so even though I am leaving the house, I still require a wedding reception to report to each nobleman.
Apparently the reason Charles came to this mansion was to tell me about this.
After that, Charles left after informing me of her future schedule, including a clothing fitting of sorts..
