The Prohibited Isekai Life Of A Certain Transmigrating Brother And Sister Chapter 4 Part1

A few notes: The house name has been changed to Roseblade, and was edited after the fact in the last chapter. Since it is a bit too daunting for me to translate chapters all at once I am switching to part translations since chapters are roughly the same length so I can start providing more steady translation even while working. Thank you for your patience. FYI the story will get a bit darker from here on out but no death as far as I have read to date.

On a certain night about 1 week after the magic inspection.
That night, I hesitated when I was being given the medicine by the housemaid.
As to why this medicine must be taken…… It was made regulation to have every child over the age of 10 that doesn't show magical ability to take it.

With the possibility of becoming a Rian in the future, it's understandable that they would want to take whatever measure as early as possible…… But the medicine is unexpectedly bitter. Not only that it's disgustingly bitter.
If a glimpse of magic can be seen at the 15-year magic inspection then that person can be happily liberated from this medicine, but if it is determined that one will be a Rian they will have to take it for the rest of their life. I want to evade that at all costs.
The Roseblade house, for many generations had high magic ability. It was essentially a lineage of hig magic, basically it wasn't easy for one to become a Rian. I heard, that until now, not a single Rian had appeared.
So father said, "It's not really that big of a deal, It'll probably be alright. Even if it fails, magic is sure to appear by the time you're 15" but…… I'm uneasy afterall.

"He- hey…… do you think you could overlook me not taking the medicine just for today?"
"I understand the princess's feelings very well but……I cannot do that. I was strictly ordered by Master to 'Make sure she takes it.'"
"Uuu……"

The maid refused and my shoulders dropped. Then, Rihito, who was next to me thought of something and came close to the maid.

"I will take responsibility and make Elder-sister take it. Therefore, you may leave"
"Bu……but Rihito-sama……''
"Can I not be trusted?"
"No… I that is not what I ment by any means. I understand"

Rihito mildly glared at the maid and then she hurriedly left the room.
Rihito took the tray and gla.s.s that the housemaid had left and turned towards me with angelic smile. Thou with my hated medicine, that smile was scary instead.

"Now then……How shall we take this?"
"It- its really disgusting! It's more disgusting than any medicine in our former world you know!? Rihito may not know but……"
"If you were really a 10 year-old child then that complaint would be justified, but the insides are 17 years old. Wait, including the last life you're already 27 years old? At this age you're saying you won't take your medicine just because it's bitter isn't a valid excuse. Ceres Ojousama"
"Stop! Adding my ages together is making me depressed so stop that!…… Yes, that's right. Including the time from my former world I'm already past the marriageable age……"

While replying m.a.s.o.c.h.i.s.tically, Rihito mutters "Well, it's the same for me" with a wry smile
After thinking for a little while with his hand on his chin he reaches out to the tray on the table nearby. He took the powdery medicine and poured it into his own mouth then, at the same time, took a mouthful of water and held it in his mouth.

"E…What are you doing!?"

Because I was startled with my mouth agape, Rihito suddenly used his hand and grabbed my mouth. Then while I was puzzled he supported the back of my head with his hand while he hung over me pressing his mouth onto mine.

The medicine mixed with the liquid as I was fed mouth-to-mouth, that disgusting bitter hated taste entered my mouth. But because water kept coming too fast I didn't have time to think and just swallowed it.

"Gokun…"

With the sound of swallowing as confirmation, my lips were finally liberated. The moment our eyes met there was a slight ticklish feeling.
Rihito, while drying the water from the corner of his lips with his sleeve said "It's certainly bitter……"and relaxed on the bed that we sat.
Maybe because my face was beat red but…… it might be because I was holding my breath while being fed mouth-to-mouth? Even if it was me who was bad for not taking my medicine, that way of making me take it was a little cruel…….

"But……In this world…… that was my first……"
"Um, huh!?"
