The Way To Protect The Female Lead’S Older Brother [EN]: Chapter 93

Protecting the Heroine’s Older Brother – Episode 93

“What? Pandora and that woman?”

Orca had gone to find Pandora, only to discover she wasn’t in her room.

To top it off, he overheard that Pandora was meeting Roxana alone, which made his eyes widen in surprise.

Orca had come to Pandora to find a way to lure the guest in the detached building outside.

He thought Pandora, being a woman, might be better at disarming the other party’s wariness than he, a man, would be.

But Pandora had already made a move.

At this point, Orca and Pandora’s goals couldn’t possibly be the same.

So Orca was intrigued. He had a feeling something interesting was about to happen.

Of course, while it might be interesting for Orca, it was highly likely to be a troublesome situation for Pandora.

In Orca’s opinion, the woman in the detached building was likely the owner of the Poisonous Butterfly.

Of course, Pandora didn’t seem to have noticed yet.

Well, that was to be expected. Orca and she were both Beast Tamers, but there was a big difference in their levels.

‘She seemed to like the Blue-Haired Young Master [Cassis Pedelian, the male lead], and now she’s finally decided to get rid of the thorn in her side.’

Given Pandora’s personality, there was no way she would have tried to have a friendly chat with that woman.

So she must be planning to harm her.

But if that woman really was the owner of the Poisonous Butterfly, Pandora was sure to be the one who would suffer.

Recalling the butterflies that had swept through the Gyrothe’s ranks, Orca was once again convinced.

Those were definitely Carnage Butterflies among the Poisonous Butterflies.

But how could Pandora, who mainly dealt with intermediate-level monsters, possibly withstand that?

Of course, there was a possibility that the woman wasn’t the owner of the Poisonous Butterfly, but the odds were quite low.

In any case, it was a good thing for Orca, as he would finally get to see the woman in the detached building again.

Orca chuckled as he walked towards the garden where he heard Pandora and Roxana were meeting.

The Blue-Haired Young Master had taken a woman, so he wondered how great she was.

This was truly a masterpiece beyond imagination.

When he first saw her in the detached building, Orca really thought a new type of monster he didn’t know about had appeared in the world.

After all, the woman who appeared before him was too beautiful to be human.

So when he later learned that she was the Blue-Haired Young Master’s woman, Orca couldn’t close his gaping mouth.

The Blue-Haired Young Master holding someone so precious in his arms and walking.

He couldn’t believe it even after witnessing it with his own eyes.

So what? Was the great Cassis Pedelian really smitten with a woman? Really?

Well… okay, even if that were the case, it was hard to deny.

In Orca’s opinion, no matter who it was, they wouldn’t be able to resist that woman.

So in the end, the Blue-Haired Young Master was just another man.

Orca chuckled to himself, thinking such vulgar thoughts.

Suddenly, Cassis, who had always felt distant, seemed a little more approachable.

“Huh?”

At that moment, he sensed Pandora’s monster’s aura not far away.

What a hasty person.

She lectured me about being reckless, but she’s even worse?

Bringing out a monster so openly in broad daylight, was Pandora out of her mind?

Of course, Pandora was suppressing the monster’s aura as much as possible.

And the monster she had summoned seemed to be the one with the least presence among her monsters.

So it must be the Durectus, which specializes in stealth.

She wouldn’t really commit the insane act of harming the guest with a monster in the Pedelian’s courtyard, so she was probably just trying to scare her.

People without monster-sensing abilities usually couldn’t detect monsters well.

So Pandora might have thought she wouldn’t get caught at this level.

“Still, isn’t she underestimating the Pedelian people too much?”

It seemed Pandora had lost her judgment after wandering around monster habitats for too long.

This was why you shouldn’t be too focused on capturing monsters and should socialize with other people from time to time.

This was the fatal problem of middle to low-level Beast Tamers who didn’t know how to manage themselves.

Orca clicked his tongue, thinking so.

Of course, he didn’t know that Pandora had said the same thing about him at the banquet.

Perhaps, as Sylvia said, the two of them really had a lot in common.

Of course, if you said this to them, they would shudder and absolutely deny it.

Swish.

Orca entered the garden where he sensed the monster’s aura.

He could move faster if he used a monster, but he refrained because he didn’t want to be kicked out of the Pedelian estate already.

Pandora and Roxana’s figures came into view from among the flower bushes. The Blue-Haired Young Master was also there.

Whoosh!

At that moment, a swarm of red butterflies blurred before his eyes like a shower of flowers.

Orca forgot to even breathe and stood frozen in place.

What Orca saw then was a breathtakingly beautiful sight that he didn’t know if he would ever see again in his life.

* * *

“Goodness.”

A languid smile formed at the corner of her lips.

Pandora couldn’t believe what had just happened.

A sweet whisper flowed into Pandora’s ears, who was only gaping in astonishment.

“Trying to threaten me with something that’s not even a mouthful.”

The butterflies that had devoured Pandora’s monster in an instant without leaving a trace flew back towards Roxana.

Considering it had only been about a minute, the repercussions were enormous.

Pandora was horrified by the red butterflies menacingly surrounding Roxana and mumbled blankly.

“Poisonous Butterflies…”

Immediately after the connection with the monster was severed, one of the blue gems on the bracelet she was wearing on her arm cracked with a snap.

Pandora couldn’t even blink as she stared at the scene unfolding before her.

Roxana, standing proudly amidst the red butterflies, exuded a chilling and dangerous beauty, like a queen of monsters.

She couldn’t understand how she could have ever thought this woman was weak.

Since the monster Pandora had summoned was a low-level one anyway, it wasn’t a great loss even if it died.

Rather, the surprise, shock, and awe of witnessing the owner of the Poisonous Butterflies were much greater.

Beast Tamers always had rare monsters that they were curious about and coveted, and the Poisonous Butterfly was one of them.

So much so that Pandora had lent Turobe to Orca after hearing that he had discovered the Poisonous Butterfly before entering the Pedelian estate.

So Pandora momentarily forgot that Roxana’s Poisonous Butterflies had eaten her monster and just stared at her blankly.

Meanwhile, Roxana thought it was boring.

She had summoned a monster with such fanfare; she thought it would be something.

Pandora’s monster wasn’t even a mouthful, to the point where the Poisonous Butterflies complained that it wasn’t enough to satisfy them.

Still, thanks to Cassis, she was now able to control the Poisonous Butterflies as before.

So the butterflies didn’t run wild without her permission.

It also seemed to be thanks to them preying on monster habitats outside for a while.

“Too bad, but Cassis is already mine, and I can’t stand other people coveting what’s mine.”

Roxana said that and smiled at Pandora.

It seemed gentle at first glance, but it was a smile full of sharp shards of glass.

It contained the meaning of a barbed warning.

Then, Roxana suddenly realized that she was not the only one watching her.

As she moved her gaze, Cassis, standing tall not far away and looking at her, caught her eye.

Behind him was Orca.

Orca was wearing even more elaborate attire today, with strings of accessories.

He looked as if he was trembling with excitement, staring at Roxana intensely as if he would devour her.

But it wasn’t Orca that caught Roxana’s attention.

Roxana quietly sent the Poisonous Butterflies back.

Ah, shoot. Did he see everything? From where did he see it?

She had no idea when Cassis had been standing there.
