Arthur, lost in thought for a moment, noticed a tea house. Tea houses and bars were common near the academy.

“Have you finished your side job? I’d like to talk to you more.”

“… … I’m fine.”

Osarin’s face was a mixture of determination and resignation as he paused for a moment before answering. He looked like a model student who had no choice but to skip school.

Arthur entered the teahouse and chatted with Osarin while sipping tea.

First, let’s summarize what Arthur heard about the tutoring.

Many wealthy people received private tutoring to get high scores on the academy exams.

Good grades were not only beneficial in terms of tuition exemption, but also in catching the eye of powerful families who wanted talented students.

So, unless you were a genius who could see everything once, understand it, and memorize it, most of the students who did well were rich, commoners, that is, the bourgeoisie. They hired competent teachers to help their children get high grades.

So, Osarin said that Arthur’s younger brother might have a hard time passing the exam if he doesn’t receive private tutoring like them.

According to the letter Arthur received from Haltz, the issue was not whether Ren passed, but whether he would be exempted from tuition fees as a top student. However, Arthur did not refute Osarin’s statement for the time being. Professor Haltz could be wrong.

“So you also do tutoring?”

“I’m not very good at it. I hardly ever did it while I was working as a lawyer.”

“Wouldn’t it be better if someone who has taught students until recently did so?”

“Even so, I am the top student!”

Although Osarin boasted about his good looks, Arthur had no qualms about it.

“That’s what I’m saying. I’m a genius craftsman myself, so when I teach priests or artisans or order them to do something, there are more than a few times when I feel frustrated because they don’t understand and can’t do as I tell them.”

Just as it is difficult for an ordinary person to understand a genius, it is also difficult for a genius to understand an ordinary person. It is even more difficult to understand a person with a high status. The question of why they do such a retarded thing was difficult to answer unless you were involved in it. Even if you understood it with your head, it took effort and time to accept it with your heart.

Therefore, it was not easy for a great genius to become an excellent teacher.

Arthur continued.

“He is my younger brother. Wouldn’t it be natural to entrust him to someone with a reputation as a teacher?”

At those words, Osarin lowered his head with a disappointed expression. Arthur asked him.

“Do you need money?”

“……yes.”

Osarin answered with difficulty.

“Why? Aren’t you a lawyer?”

“… … There are times when you have to sacrifice your conscience to work as a lawyer for money.”

There weren’t many lawyers who could keep their conscience and make a lot of money, especially in this day and age, because the law favored the privileged.

Arthur’s mind flashed back to the connection with Osarin that Mart had mentioned.

“How about the introduction fee?”

“Introduction fee?”

“You are an academy graduate, aren’t you? Don’t you have a capable teacher among your acquaintances? If you can introduce me to someone like that, I’ll give you a referral fee.”

Arthur offered a reward.

Anyway, if Rel enters the academy, he will become an alumnus of the Osarin before his eyes.

There was no need to risk damaging Rel’s reputation by being rude. Besides, with his wide network of connections, wouldn’t there be some good tutors among them?

Osarin’s expression brightened at that suggestion. It doesn’t seem like much, but you’re short on money… … Do you owe something?

But Arthur didn’t ask, shook his hand and left. And he didn’t bother to buy past exam questions the next day.

“brother!”

“think!”

Arthur, who was waiting for his brother at the dock, saw Rell coming down dragging a carrier as big as his body. The carrier was on a folding cart that Arthur had designed. It seemed to have been made by someone at Baltar Workshop. Rell had never shown any skill in making such things.

“Why did you bring so much?”

“These are the books that the teacher said I must read and the clothes to change into.”

“Don’t expect me to help you.”

“huh!”

Arthur said confidently, but before they reached Arthur’s house, it had spread and Arthur had to drag it out. If he hadn’t, it would have taken twice as long to get home.

“I need to train a bit. How can a man be this weak… … .”

“You were born with it, hyung.”

“What are you talking about? It’s the result of waking up every morning and working out.”

“That’s innate.”

Rel shook his head at Arthur’s words. How annoying it must have been to train like Arthur on a regular basis. Even effort was a talent.

Arthur countered Rel’s statement.

“It’s because it’s not a habit. Just don’t think about it as a bother and just do it.”

“Easier said than done. Ah!”

Arthur hit Rel’s head with a hammer, which had grown thicker. Judging from the way he spoke, he had become quite arrogant.

“Stop making excuses.”

“Ugh. Old fart.”

“It’s better to be an old fart than someone who makes excuses and doesn’t take action.”

“If you can’t speak, you won’t be hated. Ugh!”

Rel was snickering and playing with her lips, then she ate another chestnut.

When I arrived home, there was someone there to greet me.

“Come in!”

“Sister-in-law! How have you been?”

Rel smiled brightly and greeted Viana’s hospitality.

“Rel, you’ve grown a lot?”

“Hehehe!”

Lell felt embarrassed by Viana’s compliment. Perhaps because he was still growing, he was only slightly shorter than Arthur.

The three of them had an early dinner and chatted. They talked about the current situation of the Balta workshop family, Logan and Jenny, and their families in Fran Village.

I knew roughly how he was doing because we often exchanged letters, but the stories that came out of Rel’s mouth were the most up-to-date.

“Brother Arthur told his brother-in-law to buy some farmland, and my father and my eldest brother decided to work there together.”

“Where is your homeland?”

Rel answered Arthur’s question.

“I thought you were going to give me a lease? I was going to contact you soon, but when I told you I was going up, your brother-in-law told me to tell you.”

Since taxes had also risen, it would not have been a good idea to send Hans off to marry on his homeland. However, Arthur had sent money to Logan to have him collect farmland, so the logic was that if they worked together there, they could earn enough to marry Hans off.

Arthur clicked his tongue.

“Family management is a bit tricky… … .”

Any organization or hierarchy must be established properly to avoid conflict and run smoothly. In that sense, family management requires the authority of parents to be established properly.

But the problem was that the land was owned by Arthur, not Jonathan, his father. Wasn’t Arthur the second son? Furthermore, his brother-in-law, Logan, was managing the farm under Arthur’s authority. There were too many places where problems with hierarchy could arise.

Rel said.

“I can’t help it. My older sister is out of her mind after giving birth to her second child.”

After all, Logan doesn’t have parents. It would be best if his mother-in-law, Anna, helped her daughter, Jenny.

“So it looks like the whole family moved out of Fran Village?”

“That’s right. But when are you going to have a baby?”

At Rel’s question, Viana looked straight into Arthur’s eyes, as if Rel had asked the question for her.

Arthur thought for a moment.

“Hmm… … . I’ve never thought about it?”

“Hey. What’s that? Isn’t it about time you had a child?”

“Because we’re still newlyweds.”

When Arthur answered calmly, Rel’s expression became blank. Then, she quickly came to her senses, took out her notebook, and began to write.

“What are you doing?”

“I’m writing down what my brother just said.”

“why?”

“I’m going to use it later too.”

Arthur was speechless. One thing was certain: his little brother was starting to act a little eccentric. Professor Haltz Boot. How on earth did you teach him?

Then Viana asked, gently pinching Arthur’s side.

“So when will the honeymoon end?”

“… … .”

The expression on his face was so serious that Arthur could only answer, “Sooner or later.”

The next day, Arthur took Rel out.

“Brother. You look tired. Wouldn’t it be better to rest?”

“You want to rest?”

“No. It’s because you really look tired.”

Arthur couldn’t explain why he was tired, for the sake of Viana’s honor and dignity. No, he couldn’t admit that he was tired.

“I’m not tired. Let’s go.”

“… … .”

Rel couldn’t admit it, but she followed Arthur obediently because she thought she would get beaten up again if she kept asking.

Arthur took Rell to the teahouse where he had had tea with Osarin. Since the teahouse was near the Academy, Rell could see the entire Academy from afar. Rell exclaimed in admiration at the magnificent and magnificent sight even from afar.

“Wow! Is that where I walk?”

“Don’t get excited when you haven’t even taken the entrance exam yet.”

Despite Arthur’s cold words, Rel simply nodded as if she understood and looked around. Her eyes seemed to be drawn to the glamour of the university area.

When he entered the tea house where he had made an appointment, the people he had made an appointment with were not there yet. Arthur ordered tea, sat down, and waited.

“Have you learned how to drive a car?”

“I like milk tea better than just tea.”

Rel answered Arthur’s question.

“You still have a childlike palate.”

“No!”

“Yeah, no.”

“Wow!”

When Arthur casually changed his words, Rel got excited because he realized that his brother was teasing him.

Although Rell had been greatly influenced by Arthur since childhood, he never learned the attitude of taking everything lightly like his brother. Rell himself thought it was just a difference in personality.

As Arthur was teasing his brother and half-drinking his tea, Osarin appeared, accompanied by a gentleman.

“Have you been waiting long?”

“No, we just got here.”

Osarin shook hands with Arthur and then looked at Rel.

“It looks like this guy is my younger brother.”

“Hello, my name is Rel Hurt.”

Rel bowed politely and greeted Osarin and the gentleman next to him politely. From Haltz Boot he had learned not only knowledge but also manners.

“Hello. My name is Umel Barbara. I work as a part-time instructor at the Academy.”

“Nice to meet you. My name is Arthur Hurt. I work as a carpenter.”

“He is too handsome to be called a craftsman.”

“I’m a craftsman, but I can’t go around looking shabby because my customers are precious.”

Arthur secretly flaunted his social status.

Listening to what the other person had to say, it seemed like he had a prejudice that a craftsman should not be seen as a great gentleman. If so, it would have been wise to make him keep in mind that he was not an easy person. You never know when his prejudice will come out.

Of course, you won’t feel rude there. If you knew it was rude, you would have been careful.

“Oh, I see.”

Arthur ordered more tea and continued the conversation. Umel Baba was a graduate student who was a part-time lecturer in politics and administration at the university. Her father was a commoner but a successful businessman, and she and Osarin were seniors and juniors.

Umel Barbara also learned more about Arthur.

“You were the exclusive craftsman of the famous Ridis Salon? That’s amazing.”

“Do you know the Ridis Salon?”

“It’s famous. Do even rich women wear it these days?”

“okay.”
