Chapter.16 Brother and Cold

“Brother, does it really have to be like this?”

“Then what are you going to do? Are you going to starve to death on the streets?”

“That’s right, but… . I really don’t feel like it. Robbing an empty house… .”

“I have no choice. So, if you hadn’t confronted the supervisor who tried to use tricks to reduce taxes, this wouldn’t have happened!”

“that… . I had no choice. He has many other problems besides that. Even touching the wife of a construction worker… . “He is the bad guy in the world.”

“Thanks to you, we are the bad guys.”

“In the end, didn’t you join in the fight with your brother?”

“Yeah, that kid was a bad guy. I did it dude! Well done! So are you going to regret it?”

“no… .”

“So let’s go in quickly.”

Brothers who lost their parents at an early age and have lived stubbornly.

Linte and Mate were now at their worst juncture.

A construction inspector with full authority who primarily oversees all construction permits, from selecting workers, to reporting to the permanent administration.

The name is Ratanda. It is a name that will never be forgotten even if the brother dies.

In particular, the momentum was even stronger because the nobles who were influenced by the Count of Dedran, who were based in Great City, were supporting them.

Linte and Mate were kicked out after confronting Ratanda, who used his power to do all kinds of bad things.

In particular, in the scene where Latanda calls out the worker’s wife, who is inevitably in Eul’s position, and starts flirting with her, Mate jumps in and things get worse.

Linte and Mate did not even receive their wages.

The beginning of winter.

The weather was getting colder, but the brothers, who had run out of money, had no choice but to freeze to death. I tried to find another job, but every time I tried, Latanda interfered. We have reached a situation where there is no answer.

“Isn’t this Ratanda’s house? Damn you! This guy should suffer too. And we also survive the winter.”

“That’s true, but… .”

The brothers said they would receive something in exchange for the wages they were not paid, and sneaked into Ratanda’s house when it was empty.

The brothers realized while investigating the habit of leaving the second-floor window open that they climbed up the empty building.

Mate, who had barely entered the house, ran to the first floor, opened the door, and greeted his brother. The two people moved to the living room without saying a word.

“What is it?”

And the scenery unfolded before my eyes.

Because of this, the brothers pointed at each other and said something with their mouths. The reason was that this house was not currently empty.

This is because an old woman with gray hair was lying on the sofa in the luxurious living room.

“Brother Tongue, let’s go! “I’m going to be in big trouble.”

“Then.”

If your identity is discovered, you will have neither porridge nor rice. Therefore, the brother whispered hastily and quickly walked toward the front door.

“Ugh… .”

But soon the brothers stopped at the same time. This is because the old woman’s moaning was unusual.

“Brother, does that person look unwell? “Isn’t this an emergency?”

“okay? “Then what?”

“Why? I need help. “It looks very serious.”

Mate approached the old woman with a worried expression. The old woman was groaning and clutching her stomach. No matter how you look at it, the condition was very bad.

The younger brother carried the old woman without hesitation. Even though I knew that it was obvious that this would lead to the fact that I had targeted and broken into an empty house.

He was having trouble breathing and was gurgling as if something was stuck. The feeling that I would die if I left it was so strong.

“There is a congressman in front of me. Let’s go there. older brother!”

“That’s right, you can’t die, if you die…” .”

The brothers rushed to a nearby clinic and fortunately were able to save the old woman. But disaster struck Rinte and Mate, who were struggling with their hearts.

Ratanda, who ran to find her mother, shouted to the Dajjagojja brothers. His face was contorted in anger and he was grinning, and he seemed to have no gratitude for saving his mother from a critical situation, as much as the grime on his little finger.

“You guys! “It was their fault that I kicked them out, and now they dare to harm my mother!”

“It’s not like that!”

“Other than that, what is it? They must have gotten scared of harming him and brought him to the clinic. “Can’t we just leave these bastards alone?”

“That’s not it! You bastard! You kicked me out without paying me a penny and I said I’d clean up the empty house… .”

“older brother!”

My older brother shouted in anger and then covered his mouth in shock, but it was already too late. Mate looked at his brother and shook his head.

“OK. That’s it. You guys must have confessed with your mouth? Everyone, these guys are here to rob an empty house! An empty house! “These damn criminals?”

Whoa whoa!

Ratanda thrust his fist at Linte. Unable to even resist, Rinte rolled to the floor and Mate ran towards his older brother.

Immediately afterward, the security forces called by Ratanda arrived, and as a result, the brothers were immediately sentenced to prison.

The two were able to return to the world only after spending two years in prison. As soon as Linte was released from prison, he looked up at the weather and said to his brother:

“I was caught before winter, and now it’s before winter again.”

“Iknow, right. older brother… . When it gets cold, it will be difficult to sleep outside… . “It would be better to stay in prison.”

“Don’t be funny. “After being tormented in prison like that, you want to go back to that lair again?”

“That’s not it… . But at least I can survive… .”

The two brothers began walking with their shoulders slumped.

“I have no intention of hiring a thief.”

“go away! “Tsk, tsk, ruin the store’s reputation!”

“sorry. “We are not hiring anyone at the moment.”

Ratanda, who confirmed that his brother was released from prison, still held a grudge and spread useless rumors.

Thanks to that, wherever I go, I’m always welcome. Even though they said they were hiring people, I was kicked out while being lied to that they were not, and in the end, I ended up with nothing to do but curl up in a slum in the north and look at the sky.

“It won’t work!”

“older brother?”

“I’ll steal it! “It’s better than starving to death like this!”

“But brother!”

Linte, who had been starving, made a loud declaration to Mate and ran to the commercial district. I looked around the area where the restaurants were and called out to my younger brother again.

“Anyway, I have no choice but to become a major villain!”

“What do you mean? “Are you my older brother?”

Linte entered the restaurant alley. Then he looked around and picked up a large container.

“Hahahaha. Look at this, it contains the food left by people at the Mate restaurant. Stealing things like this is the true villain!”

“older brother… . But isn’t this food that was thrown away anyway?”

“No. This leftover food is being taken away by the Meroon guys! “I am the great villain!”

Meroon means cat. Especially now, what they are saying means stealing food from stray cats. Therefore, Linte smiled triumphantly and began to eat the scraps of food.

“Then I won’t lose either. older brother.”

“what?”

“Actually, I also did something incredible in the square.”

“What dude? “In the square?”

Linte grabbed Mate. Restaurant alleys and open squares that no one sees. This is because I thought that if we were to compare the level of evil, it could not even be compared to the square. Rinte stammered, thinking that even his younger brother must be crazy to do such a big thing in a place like that.

“So what did you steal?”

“I didn’t steal it. Isn’t there a big notice board in the square? I tore off all the paper attached to the notice board and put it back up. It’s a major crime! “I was extremely nervous about what someone would say!”

“This bastard? “Are you doing worse than me?”

Linte put food in his mouth and dropped his shoulders as if he had lost.

“Eat this, Merurun. Merurun! Cry Merururun!”

Mate smiled excitedly and fed the food he was eating to the stray cat, putting it in his mouth as well. Because I felt sorry for completely taking away a stray cat’s food.

Mate, who looks like a handsome boy himself, and a stray cat are a picture of a picture. Of course, what I’m holding is food scraps.

Still, Mate felt that it tasted better than the food he ate in prison. Prison food is truly a taste that cannot be matched.

“But brother, I think it’s worse than when I went into that empty house back then… .”

“ha… . Don’t even bring up what happened then. I can never do something like that again. Besides, at that time, wasn’t it even bigger that you wanted to get revenge on that damn Ratanda?”

The two brothers sighed and lowered their heads. Instead of stealing anything, he was caught helping someone and was immediately sent to prison.

Their situation was originally like that. A life where you have no parents, no support, no possessions, nothing.

Still, the fact is that Linte has a younger brother and Mate has an older brother. For the two of them, that was the only driving force that allowed them to survive in this world.

“Oh, by the way, brother, among the notices on the notice board, there was also an announcement that someone was being hired.”

“huh?”

When I was a child when my parents were still alive. Since my brother had learned to read to some degree at the time, he could read basic letters. Therefore, Mate recalled the notice he had read and opened his mouth to his brother.

“Let’s see, there’s a ranch on the hill over there, and they say they’re hiring people there?”

“Hmm ranch? Are you going to pick us out of that place? “It won’t work anyway.”

“But brother… . I have to do something. Even if you get kicked out! If this continues, I will freeze to death. Better go back to jail! “Something must be done!”

“Is that so… .”

The brothers looked at each other and lowered their heads.

“Furthermore, if it were a ranch, it would not have spread the word about us there because it has nothing to do with the construction site that Latanda owns. “Shouldn’t we just focus on that?”

“Then I’m glad… . good. Let’s go first! I’d rather do something than go back to prison. “Prison is no good because of the people who want to do something to you!”

“older brother… .”

Compared to the masculine-looking Linte, Mate is a handsome boy. Therefore, there were quite a lot of bad guys who wanted to play bad pranks.

Every time that happened, Rinte would stand up for him and get hit again and again, so it hurt Mate just to see it.

Mate, whose body was shaking just thinking about it, shook his head and dreamed of a ranch.

Truly the last hope.

With that hope in mind, the two walked up to the ranch on the hill as soon as the next morning dawned. Then, a cute restaurant caught their eye and they both stopped.

“Is there a restaurant in this place?”

“It’s too broad a day to steal your food waste.”

“No, I’m just curious that there’s a restaurant in a place like this.”

“is that so?”

The restaurant is not the problem now. The brother, clearly in a hurry, hurried on his way again.

After some time, a large ranch unfolded before the brothers’ eyes. Linte and Mate were overwhelmed by the scale and looked at each other in surprise.

“In a place like this… “There’s no way they’d hire us, right?”

As Linte spoke with a sigh, Mate also nodded quietly.

“Iknow, right… .”

“Are you hoping for an interview?”

Miltein, who found the two people hesitating like scared puppies, slapped Rinte, who looked younger than him, on the back and asked. Linte and Mate, who were startled, took a step back like scared puppies.
