Villainess Is Changing Her Role To A BroCon

Ekaterina called out, reservedly.

“I possess earth magic. If I dig down around that magical beast and drop it into a pit, I wonder if it would be possible to get close to it without destroying the field.”

“I see…”

Oleg, who was about to think about it, shook his head in a panic.

“But, we don’t want the young lady to do that. It is dangerous.”

“No, big brother told me that a noble’s magical power is to protect the people from magical beasts and the like. Besides, I am the one who decided to ask you all to clean up that beast. If there is anything I can do, I am willing to do it.”

I understand that all the knights are professionals at cleaning up monsters and beasts, but they lacked weapons such as firearms or anything of the sort. Everyone’s standard arsenal included a short spear, and they had to be close enough to be able to deliver an attack.

Even from a distance, I could tell that a bear the size of a brown bear from my previous life would be a dangerous creature. It would be my fault if any of them were hurt because I decided to clean up the monocular bear. It would mean that I was the one who caused the injury.

It was a little late for that, but I realized that with power comes responsibility.

I would be able to attack someone from a distance with my magical powers. I hope I can make use of it.

“Of course, I will not do anything dangerous. Even from here, my magic power is enough to reach that magical beast. I wonder if that is not possible…”

Ekaterina nodded her head, Oleg stopped talking, and Forli giggled.

“Noble words, befitting a lady of the Order. I’m sure everyone must be thrilled.”

“Yes, indeed.”

Oleg and the other six knights all put their fists on their chests and bowed to Ekaterina.

“The Knights of Yurinova will not be slowed down by a single-eyed bear, but if anything should happen to Oleg, Erik of Yurinova Castle will know about it. We can’t let the Duke worry about this.”

Erik was Oleg’s twin brother. He shared the same strong physique, but instead of becoming a knight, as his mother had wished, he served the Yurinova family as a civil servant. They have such a strong bond that whatever happens to one of them will be passed on to the other. They said that they could not talk to each other, but they could certainly sense each other.

One of the reasons Oleg was chosen as Ekaterina’s bodyguard was that if anything happened to Oleg, it meant Ekaterina was in danger. He’d be able to inform Alexei of his sister’s danger as soon as possible.

Note that the older brother Oleg was married and the younger brother Erik was single.

…I had heard about the bond between twins in my previous life, but I imagined that it was a bit of an urban legend or something that had not been scientifically proven. But in this world, as one would expect, the explanation that “although weak, they have that kind of magical power” made it an unquestionable fact.

But, now that I think about it, I wonder how much thought and effort my big brother put into ensuring my safety. He was taking every precaution possible in this world without a cell phone. As expected of a siscon.

“I will be with the Young Lady to protect you. Please do as you say and help us.”

“I will protect the Young Lady.”

As if to overshadow Forli’s words, who was a close aide of Duke Alexei, Mina, the maid who was following half a step behind Ekaterina, said in her usual nonchalant manner.

“Hmm, I see.”

Forli nodded without showing any signs of being offended, probably because he knew that Mina was a combat maid. But the knights were crestfallen by the beautiful maid’s loyal words.

“Then, we, the Knights of Yurinova, will have the honor of fighting alongside the Young Lady.”

And so, the strategy was changed.
