The man hesitantly stepped back due to Diana who was pointing at him with a smile.
“That, wh-what are you saying Miss! What do you mean I’m a fraud? I don’t know what misunderstanding you have, but you shouldn’t accuse people like tha— Aack!”
Thud!
Diana threw another pile of paper that she was holding at the legs of the man who was lying.
Tuk. Tuk.
The papers that spread out on the floor was—
“T-This, how did you!?”
An investigation document containing the details of the man’s fraud.
[Jay, a fraud who was active in the South Zone, hides his appearance?]
[The possibility of fraud, Jay’s new area of activity is near the Capital….]
It was a collection of exclusive newspaper articles that tracked the man’s identity…
“Eit! Damn!”
Aware that the plan had gone wrong, Jay, the fraud, tried to run away quickly.
At that moment.
Something hit the back of Jay’s head.
“EUAAAACK!”
His sight became dark in an instant.
Did Garbiel Cartier use his hand…?
“Da-damn it…. This….”
However, right before he lost his consciousness, the last thing that came into the eyes of the fraud was not Gabriel’s cold face, but—
“You bad guy! Did you think I’d let you run away!”
It was Diana Cartier’s chubby cheeks….
***
Great! That was perfect rock throwing!
No, it was throwing a cookie jar!
Throwing a cookie jar (which was only the size of my fist) right to the head of the fraud who was trying to run away, made me proud.
“Older Brother! Since he’s a really bad guy, don’t just send him to the Capital. Rather, please interrogate him yourself!”
Because he brainwashed Older Brother El and made him have a seizure…
Later, Older Brother’s eyes…
‘It’s okay. I blocked that worst future first!’
I shook my head as I dismissed my scary thoughts, then I paused.
“Older Brother?”
“….”
Older Brother Gabriel stared at me with an unfamiliar look in his eyes.
How should I say this? Uhm…. That look in Older Brother’s eyes was….
‘It felt a little like when a person found out that their house’s baby was actually the leader of the neighborhood gangsters?’
…Was I too harsh?
‘No matter how much of a hurry I was in, it seems like I shouldn’t have thrown the cookie jar…’
Seeing the fraud lying on the floor, the scattered paper, and the crushed cookie jar, I opened my mouth.
“Uhm. Older Brother Gabriel. I’m sorry for making a fus—”
“Don’t meddle in for nothing.”
I’m sorry for making a fuss, but he’s really a bad guy!!!
Before I could say so, Older Brother Gabriel continued.
“You little thing! Do you not understand how scary things work. And why are you, a troublemaker, behaving uncontrollably? If you get seriously injured—”
“….”
My eyes were wide open.
I waited quietly for the continuation of Older Brother El’s words.
Maybe at this rate, some words that show his worry about me would follow…
“…The household became noisy for nothing.”
Yup, as expected, I knew that it wouldn’t be such words like that.
Since our Oldest Brother had a dishonest personality.
“Just what is a kid like you thinking about these days that you do such dangerous actions without care—”
The moment Older Brother Gabriel tried to say something to me who was pleased with the fact that my guess was right.
“Ughh….”
Wriggle. Wriggle.
Jay, the fraud, who was lying on the floor, wriggled.
‘Gasp, it seems like he’s regaining his consciousness.’
The moment I was about to grab the cookie jar that I threw earlier.
Press!
Older Brother Gabriel, stepped on the man’s back with his feet and pressed him down before looking at me.
Eyes that shone like blue flames stared directly at me.
“Diana Cartier.”
He said in a cold voice which was even colder than those eyes.
“Go back to your room.”
“…Yes.”
It’s a relief I can leave it to Older Brother after this.
When I nodded, he somehow frowned.
Older Brother Gabriel quickly turned around and muttered something to the fraud.
“Because of you, I had to talk like I was angry at that kid for no reason….”
He coldly told me to leave because he doesn’t want to show me his interrogating figure right?
‘Phew. As expected, Older Brother El is always worried about me.’
Shrugging my shoulders, I left the office.
***
After I returned to my room.
‘First of all, I handled Bad Guy 1 well.’
I was very satisfied with today’s result.
However, stopping Bad Guy 1 didn’t solve everything.
Even so, I was able to avoid starting on the wrong foot.
‘So, the next thing to do is—’
Tok. Tok.
At the sound of knocking on the door, I came to my senses.
“Young Miss, may I go in?”
A voice with a slight dialect was heard over the door.
“Yup! Come in.”
It was Masha, my exclusive maid, who opened the door and came in.
In her hand she was holding a tray of cookies and children’s tea for tea time.
‘Ah! It’s today’s snack!’
Masha put the tray down in front of me, who was clearly excited, and glanced at me.
“Young Miss. Um… About you breaking in when Young Master Gabriel was having a conversation with an important guest earlier…. Ah! Breaking in means intervening.”
“Hehe.” I laughed as Masha looked at me and explained the fairly difficult word for a 10-year-old.
