I Have been Reincarnated As a Lazy, Arrogant Noble, but When I Destroyed The Scenario Through Effort, I Became The Most Powerful With Extraordinary Magical Power - 116.2

Chapter 116 – Eleanor Witch part 2

I didn’t know. I couldn’t have known.

Being protected by my big sister all this time…

That’s why my big sister always knew where I was. She had always been protecting me.

“But I also have feelings. It was your mother who betrayed us, and you are not guilty. So… quietly die. If you do, Sierra will become stronger with your death as nourishment. The Witch family will become even more formidable. But if you live, the infidelity will be exposed eventually, and the Witch family will perish. In that case, Sierra will also be in trouble. She has talent. She can be happy.”

“…That way, my big sister will be happy…”

“Yes. This is the best way. It hurts my heart too. Because you are not at fault.”

“…My big sister…”

I am… an unwanted child. And I’ve always been a burden to my big sister.

I will be liberated from that burden.

Will my big sister be sad?

But, it’s better if I’m not there.

I’ve always been a burden to my big sister.

Always, unknowingly.

“That’s the best…”

“Indeed. You struggled against monsters and did your best, but convey to Sierra that you died. She should be happy about it.”

“My big sister… happy…”

I don’t understand. What should I do?

But my big sister has always been for me…

…I’m an unwanted child.

“I understand.”

“You’re impressive, Eleanor. You’re not my child, but I wanted to praise you for the first time.”

“I’m sorry, big sister.”

Thank you for everything until now.

“Goodbye, Eleanor. You are the last one suitable for the Witch family—”

Father quietly turned his palm towards me, radiating magic.

I resolved myself and closed my eyes.

The next moment— I heard my beloved voice.

“What are you doing to Eleanor, you bastard!”

“Huh? Na—aaaah—”

“—Big sister!?”

There she was, my big sister.

Apparently… she had kicked Father with all her might.

Father rolled away.

Then, she approached me with her arms crossed, proudly raising her voice.

“Stupid Noah!! I’ve been watching all along. What are you doing, giving up like this? Don’t you have your own will? Why were you born for!”

“Sierra, kicking our real father like that…”

“Shut up, you stupid toxic parent!”

“Toxic—”

“Eleanor, our parents are crap. Both of them. But hey, just have a strong will. It doesn’t matter. We can live our lives on our own.”

“But even big sister…”

“Not ‘but.’ Eleanor, what about you? What do you want to become?”

I want to spend time with my big sister.

I want to laugh with my big sister.

I want to have meals together. I want to chat more.

“I want to… spend time with my big sister…”

Then my big sister smiled as usual.

“If that’s the case, live like that. We’re sisters.”

But at that moment, Father quietly radiated magic.

But my big sister didn’t notice.

She kicked him again and then looked at me.

“Ha. That’s fine. So, Eleanor—first, we’ll take over the Witch family.”

“Sierra, what are you thinking!?”

“Father, Grandfather has already been informed of what you did. It’s a report about going to the capital. Soon, you’ll be arrested for attempting to kill your own daughter. Thank you for everything until now. I will take over as the head.”

“What!? You can’t do that!”

“I can. I’m not alone—”

“Damn it, I thought you were my real daughter, but to kill you here—”

Then Father radiated magic again.

Incredible magic.

Seriously, he intended to kill my big sister.

――I won’t let it happen.

Before I knew it, I had lost myself.

“――What are you doing to my big sister, you bastard!!!”

“――Aaahhhhh!”

After that, Father was taken away by soldiers for attempting to kill me.

The Witch family truly came under the control of my big sister.

Even in the long history, it was the first time for a woman.

And at the age of thirteen, no less.

“――Eleanor, having crappy parents isn’t uncommon. It’s undoubtedly sad, but if you have time to grieve, you should look forward. That’s more enjoyable, you know?”

“Yeah… Thank you, big sister.”

“Don’t mention it. I was also supported by you.”

My big sister had been working behind the scenes. In the process, she found out that we were half-sisters.

She later told me that knowing our father was the one trying to kill me left her with complicated feelings.

But she never showed any sign of it.

After that, my big sister became the head and took over all the responsibilities. Of course, it wasn’t an easy task. I tried to support her, but my big sister often received insults from relatives.

I couldn’t forgive that.

“Still a young girl, and a girl at that—”

“Hey, if you badmouth my big sister, I won’t forgive you!”

My big sister worked hard. It was unthinkable to belittle her.

But in just a few years, those who criticized my big sister’s work disappeared.

However, one day, my big sister unexpectedly revealed her true feelings to me. Quietly shedding tears.

“Weiss, we are sisters, just the two of us. I’m glad you’re here. Let’s be together forever.”

“Yeah, big sister. I will protect you, big sister.”

“I will too, Eleanor.”

I will become even stronger. I won’t forgive anyone who disrespects my big sister, no matter how trivial.

Since my big sister became the head, some time passed. One day, out of the blue, she said she wanted to enroll in the prestigious academy.

“That Noblesse?!”

“Yes. We need more authority. Graduating from there will add prestige.”

“It’s incredibly difficult, you know. Fine. I’ll work hard to follow in your footsteps, big sister!”

“What are you talking about? I’ll join you.”

“But, age-wise, big sister should go first—”

Waiting for a year or two is not a big deal. We are always together, after all.

“Sure!”

And so, the two of us, sisters, passed the entrance exams.

Even after entering the academy, my big sister was amazing. Always at the top, and I also worked hard not to fall behind.

But my big sister still tried to protect me. I became stronger too. I want my big sister to live more freely.

At that time, my big sister made an unusual request.

“Hey, Eleanor, it seems Weiss is going to Duran. Can I go for a bit? It’s a hassle, but I have to look after the underclassmen.”

Normally, she would never say such a thing. But she didn’t want to be away from me.

But that made me happy.

Since meeting Weiss, my big sister became more open about her feelings. I think she likes him.

“Of course. Are you interested in Weiss?”

“N-no! Duran seems fun, and besides, he’s a senior!”

But when I heard about the pseudo-demon, I was really scared.

My big sister still tries to protect me.

In her mind, I will always be weak.

But that’s no longer true. I’m not a crybaby.

To not worry my big sister, I became stronger.

And today, I want to show that.

In the final match of the sports festival—today—

“Big sister, I won’t lose. I’ll definitely win.”

“…Unusually motivated, aren’t you?”

“I’ve become strong, big sister.”

“Well then, let’s see how it goes.”

My big sister, as usual, smiled.

But I’ll win and prove that I can handle things on my own.

So, I want her to spend more time being herself.

I am—Eleanor Witch.

Light or darkness, it doesn’t matter.

I don’t care if my parents are crappy.

I just want to surpass my big sister and become someone who can protect her.

So, in this match—I will definitely win.
