## Chapter 161 – Even if It’s the Enemy of Your Parents, You Should Stop Them Once (1)
At a similar time, Carla’s efforts to protect her beloved brother continued relentlessly.
Much like an older brother who couldn’t bear to give his sister to some shady bum, Carla was fiercely determined to save her brother from being handed over to some no-good hussy she didn’t know the first thing about.
Hye-ryung, who had been relentlessly pursuing Antonio ever since her love confession, couldn’t help but stick her tongue out at the constant, persistent interference…
“Oh my…!! Fancy meeting you here, what a coincidence!
If you have time, would you like to take a walk together…?”
“Brother!! Brother!!
Professor Heindel said to bring your thesis paper right away!!
Or else he’ll deduct your graduation credits…!!”
“You already graduated!!”
“Just kidding~ Teehee!!♡
Let’s go see a play together, Brother!!”
“I… I have a prior engagement!!”
“You haven’t even made plans yet!!”
Or there was this…
“Oh? It’s a lovely day, Antonio-sunbae.
The weather is so nice, if you’re free…?”
“This is ‘F’BS, the broadcasting station for all of Saint Flansina Academy, with today’s weather report!!
Today, the academy is forecast to experience a sudden fire-rainstorm due to Bilder’s alchemy theory chapter 3, sodium-ozone oxidation exothermic reaction!!
Explosive combustibles are expected to fall on the heads of everyone planning a pleasant date, so be especially careful to avoid turning your already dark hair into charcoal~
This has been Carla with FBS News~ Ehehet♡”
“Are you planning to commit terrorism on a perfectly clear sky!?”
They say that you only realize how sad it is to have your love interfered with when you’re in that position yourself, but Carla wasn’t about to let her precious brother be taken away for such a trivial reason.
A spiteful sister-in-law type, Carla had no intention of letting Antonio get married until dirt was thrown in her eyes.
She seemed to appear out of nowhere, popping up in the most unexpected places, constantly and relentlessly interfering with Hye-ryung.
“Haa… Haa… Where…
Where does she keep popping up from…!!
This… This evil woman…!!
I was being considerate because she was going to be my sister-in-law…!!”
“That’s the price for coveting my brother!!
Suffer the consequences!!”
Two people who would normally get along well ended up escalating to a full-blown war over one man, Antonio, who was both a brother and a crush.

“Um… Carla… Don’t you think you’re going a bit too far…?”
“Yui? What do you mean?”
“Hye-ryung isn’t as bad as you think.
I’ve heard that people from the Tang Clan are originally eccentric…
And if she likes him that much…
She’ll definitely treat your brother well.”
“Uuu…”
“A-ha… I mean…? Um…
There’s something you should figure out first, right!!
If Sunbae doesn’t like Hye-ryung, then there’s nothing you can do, right…?
Then she won’t be able to insist either… Hic…!!”
“That’s right…? Why didn’t I think of that?
There’s no way my brother would like a weird woman like that!!
Definitely!! No doubt!! My brother will dump her in one go!!
But… were you two acquainted?”
“Ah… just… so-so…
We’re from the same… country…?”
“Uung~ I see!! Hehet!!
Then I should go see my brother!!
See you later at the dorm, Yui!!”
“You can’t talk loudly in the library!!”
Even as she heard the librarian’s nagging, Yui quietly closed the book she was holding, put it in her bag, and got up from her seat, watching Carla’s back as she turned around and ran off excitedly.
After this, she also had a schedule, so she had seized the only opportunity to separate herself from Carla, who was always with her.
Yui cautiously left the library, avoiding people’s attention, and after winding through the narrow paths between buildings, she arrived at a flower bed that was as deserted as could be.
Normally, this would be a place where many students passed by on their way to and from school, as well as to various lecture halls, but the academy wasn’t very crowded yet since the vacation hadn’t ended.
As she approached the flower bed, Yui looked around, checking to see if anyone was there, and then disappeared into the flower bed, which began to open slowly as if it had been waiting for her.
.

“So… how long are you planning to keep interfering?”
“Give up on my brother!! Not until then!!”
Eventually, Hye-ryung and Carla, who had run into each other again in Antonio’s assistant’s office, smiled sweetly in front of Antonio and left the office together, only to start bickering again right away.
Going back to Antonio was a bit awkward since they had just said their goodbyes, and both of them were watching each other to make sure they didn’t go back to Antonio.
The two girls were walking side by side, feeling like they were sharing a bed with the enemy, puffing out their cheeks as they left the academy.
But at that moment.
“Yui…?”
A puzzled murmur escaped from Carla’s mouth as she spotted Yui’s back as she was passing through the school gates.
“Kazunomiya’s young lady?
Ah, you said you were friends?”
“Yui said… she had something to do today…?
I wonder if she’s on her way now…?”
“Hmph…”
At that moment, Hye-ryung, perhaps having heard Carla’s words, smiled slightly and moved forward stealthily.
Seeing Hye-ryung acting as if she were tailing someone, Carla quickly ran up and grabbed Hye-ryung’s shoulder.
“What are you trying to do?”
“I’m going to see what Kazunomiya’s young lady is up to, why?
You’ve been interfering with my time with Sunbae, and you’re still not happy?
I’m saying that a woman like me will become your brother’s wife!!”
“Um… Y-Yui… Yui has her own private life…!!
Separate from my brother…!! Hey…!!”
“I don’t have anything to do thanks to someone.
So I’m just going to watch for fun.
Try to stop me if you can.”
Hye-ryung escaped from Carla’s grasp with her nimble movements, and Carla couldn’t catch her.
Was this the Tang Clan’s martial arts that she had been showing all this time?
No matter how hard she tried to grab her, she would slip away with strange and light movements, so no matter how hard she tried to catch her, it was all in vain.
“Eek…!! I said don’t…!!”
“Hehe!! Try to catch me if you can!!”
Following Hye-ryung, who was dodging her as if she had become an uncatchable shadow, Carla eventually gave up trying to catch her and had no choice but to trudge along beside her.
How long had they been walking like that?
“Tch… Pfft… Hmph…”
“Stop.”
“Huh? What?”
Hye-ryung, who had poked her head out from beyond the alley as if it were the textbook example of tailing someone, stopped Carla by putting her arm against Carla’s chest, and Carla stared at Hye-ryung with a flustered expression.
“She’s going in. But why there…?”
“Where? Where is she going in?”
When Carla pushed past Hye-ryung’s arm that was blocking her and poked her head out like Hye-ryung, their eyes caught sight of Yui disappearing into a building.
The facility was shabby, but the entrance to the building, which showed a neat and tidy atmosphere, had two thugs standing guard and checking entrants.
Seeing them stop Yui as well, listen to something from her, nod, and step aside, Carla let out a small sound of surprise.
“What…? Yui’s house?”
“Does it look like it? It looks suspicious to me.
Those two men aren’t from Chao Xing.
And if it was her family’s house, wouldn’t those guys recognize their own master?
It’s a place that someone needs to block people from entering…
And at the same time, that woman has a reason to go in…”
“What kind of place is that?”
Carla, who had nodded obediently at Hye-ryung’s clear reasoning, asked a question as if questioning her reasoning.
Then Hye-ryung, letting out a sigh as if she were dumbfounded, pointed her finger slightly and began to point at something.
“Hmm… maybe you can’t read words with your eyes?
Can’t you see what it says over there?”
“Flora…’s…?”
“What would you expect, really.
The name itself gives you a feeling, doesn’t it?
Isn’t it talking about a flower garden with flowers?
Since flowers have been metaphorically used to mean women since ancient times.
A flower garden in such a gloomy place.
It must mean a place where prostitutes sell their bodies, right?”
At Hye-ryung’s explanation, which compressed the long history of mankind into a few words, Carla was startled and grabbed Hye-ryung’s arm and shook it.
“Eek…!! Why is Yui in a place like that…?”
“How would I know? Hehe~ It’s getting interesting…?
I was wondering what Kazunomiya was doing to make a living…
I guess she was hiding this secret?”
“What… what do you mean…?”
“You, haven’t you ever heard from Kazunomiya’s young lady?
The Kazunomiya family has long been ruined since the Chaonan Massacre.
Only a few old people survived, and the family line was completely cut off.
So in Chao Xing, they’re just barely clinging to life, a weak family with no real power anymore.”
Yui had always been reluctant to talk about herself, so Carla’s eyes widened as she heard Hye-ryung’s explanation of Yui’s family in Chao Xing.
“I think the damage at that time was so great that there are almost no assets left now?
In that state, they must have squeezed out the remaining assets and somehow left for the academy,…
If she’s supplementing her insufficient living expenses here, then the circumstances fit perfectly, right?”
When she heard Hye-ryung’s words, Carla couldn’t help but feel a strange sense of unease.
Wasn’t Yui the one who had suddenly disappeared for a few days, saying that she had something important to do until recently?
Moreover, since then, she had been separating from Carla around dinner time, saying that she had something to do, and then returning to the dormitory alone late at night.
If she had been working here during that time?
If she had been selling her pitiful body to raise money for her livelihood, as Hye-ryung said?
“Ah… no way…”
“Hey… what are you trying to do…?”
“No way… Yui… Yui… if that happens…!!”
After learning about the tragedy that was happening to her most precious friend, Hye-ryung grabbed Carla by the back of the neck and pulled her back behind the corner again as she babbled and tried to jump forward.
“Why are you doing this? She went in there of her own accord, right?
Are you going to go in there and save her?
Do you think she’ll be happy to go back with you?
If I were her, I would bite my tongue and die as soon as I found out I was caught.”
Carla, who had been hanging her head and keeping her mouth shut, finally raised her head with a determined expression.
“I’m going to talk to her…!!
We can find a way if we look for one…!!”
“Don’t tell me… you’re going to go in, are you?
Really there? Such an uncultured place…?”
“Hehe… I have a plan…!!
I’m going to rescue Yui…!!”
Carla’s determination to crawl into a place where even the enemy of her parents would be stopped if a woman was going to go there.
Hearing that carefree determination, Hye-ryung let out a soft sigh.
It wouldn’t be good to leave alone when the younger sister of the man she liked was going to go in.
The eyes of Carla, a somewhat awkward intellectual character(?), were sparkling confidently, and Hye-ryung’s eyes were tinged with unease as she looked at her.
