My Sister the Heroine, and I the Villainess - Chapter 81

Chapter 81

Translator: CasBrin

I was the failure who let myself be talked down by Father, but thinking I’m going to give up here is a big mistake .

I love Michelie .

She’s the most important thing in the world to me . That won’t change no matter what Father says . I love Michelie . That thought is the only clear thought in my head .

So I clung to it desperately . With anger and duty pushing me forward I search for countermeasures against Father .

There are two years left before Michelie enters the Academy . From there another four years until graduation . Within that time limit I examined every single possible way to stop Michelie being sent to a monastery .

I am the daughter of the Noir family . A genius child born into the high ranking nobility . I was blessed at birth with my abilities .

But that was all I had .

To consolidate the power and influence I require will take ten, if not more, years to happen . If I am seriously going to oppose Father, then I need more .

I came to the conclusion that right now, no matter how hard I try, I do not have the power to overturn Father’s decision . Once you enter a convent, you can never leave . That is an ironclad rule no matter which convent it is .

Six years just wasn’t enough time .

As a child by myself there was nothing I could do, but I can ask for advice . I don’t want to burden Michelie, besides she has less power than I do . Charles and Endo are from the royal family . I can’t tell anyone the circumstances behind all this, so even if I cooperate with others, the six year time limit is standing in my way . There was a limit to the connections of a child .

With those worries, there was a knock .

“Miss, It’s nearly time for ms . Toinette to arrive… . ”

At the maid’s news, my face grimaced .

The hesitation in the maid’s voice is probably because she can sense my ill mood . The timing is bad . I hadn’t even figured out how to deal with Mariwa leaving, I clicked my tongue at this horrible timing .

“Ah”

There was someone I could ask after all . The most dependable person I know .

Exactly . I should ask Mariwa .

This was a great idea . There was no one more suitable to consult than Mariwa .

“Okay, please bring her here!”

“Y-yes . certainly . ”

She seemed surprised by my sudden attitude change, but she left without voicing any doubts .

Meanwhile, my heart had brightened with the possibility of solving the issue .

I just need to get Mariwa’s collaboration in sorting out this mess . If I do that, then I can keep consulting Mariwa in the future . I would have an excuse to keep seeing her .

As if the fog had suddenly cleared, my problems seems to be solved one after another .

Waiting impatiently like that, the maid finally showed Mariwa in .

“I’m so glad you’re here Mariwa! I have something I need to ask you about!”

“I’ll listen after class . ”

My energetic greeting was coldly rebuffed . Well, it’s always like this anyway . It’s not something to get depressed over .

Once Mariwa was sure I had, though somewhat reluctantly, taken my seat, we begun the lesson .

“Our class today is the last time I will teach you as a home teacher . So with that announcement, let me hear your thoughts on Philosophy . ”

Starting with an announcement like that, class felt more serious than usual, so I pushed away the other thoughts . Rather than what I wanted advice on, I switched my mind to concentrate on class .

“Philosophy is not only the basis of all academic disciplines, but it is also the most important of them all . However, it is an academic field that doesn’t have a single correct answer .

“There’s no correct answer?”

“Yes, Plainly speaking, this doesn’t only apply to philosophy . I have educated you on various methods until now . Beginning with etiquette, than liberal arts, etc, we went through many questions, giving each a yes or no answer . However, while these answers are unavoidably beneficial and convenient for our current society, there is no absolute correct answer . ”

“Oh… . ”

I showed her a truly pathetic face .

With one class, she had flipped everything on its head .

“What’s with that . So all our lessons up until now were meaningless? That’s pretty cruel . ”

“They were not meaningless . They were key points for your survival . But that is just saying they have meaning . You must not follow blindly and allow yourself to be trapped by other’s way of thinking . I will teach you one thing . To divide everything into being correct, wrong and neither, is fatal . There is no difference between those three .

“…Sorry . I don’t fully understand . ”

“I see, then I shall offer you an easy to understand guiding principle for your life . I do not expect you to understand everything today, but I just ask that you remember what I will tell you today,”

Even a genius like me can’t comprehend what Mariwa is trying to say . Without extra information it’s really hard to understand . Even Mariwa expected it would be like this so she put it as easily she could with her next words .

“… . Love your fate”

My breath stopped .

“In this unreasonable world, that repeats a daily life full of complaints – without averting your eyes from all the possibilities – as it goes before you, love your fate . ”

Hearing the last thing Mariwa will teach me, my heart feels like it’s going to stop beating . even as I feel it jumping in my chest .

To give Michelie freedom to choose her future, there is only one choice I can make, and it was here the whole time .

I now clearly know the answer, my messy tangled heart was put at peace .

“Everything you have experienced, for better or worse, has made you who you are today . That is what is called ‘Love your fate; as long as you remember them, these words will help you in your life .

‘Ha, hahaha . ”

Laughter leaked out from my mouth .

Aaah, I finally get it .

As if someone turned on the lights, I can finally see the road ahead .

Who knew, in the end I didn’t need an extra consultation with you .

“… . . What’s wrong, lady Chris?”

“Nothing at all . I got it . I finally understand Mariwa”

Even though I felt like I was about to burst into tears, I forced a smile .

Even though I know that many painful things are waiting for me, I was resolved to walk this path .

I know it will involve betraying most of the people I’ve encountered until now, but I’ve decided to choose my most beloved sister .

I remember every key event that leads to the conclusion I need . It’s just as Mariwa said .

Let’s believe in it and love it .

“Thank you Mariwa, I really, truly, understood . ”

‘Ah, is that so?”

I smiled sweetly as Mariwa looked at me unconvinced .

‘Yup . my future from here, it’s been decided . ”

“……”

Perhaps Mariwa was sent as a push from fate, but it doesn’t matter anymore .

Fate .

That which I have denied all this time . The truth I knew when I met Michelie for the first time, the knowledge of my previous life .

In that story there is no bad end . Suffering was always waiting for Christina .
There were three endings to the game, and Michelie achieved happiness no matter which it was .
