I Want to Fall in Love After Getting Reincarnated as the Heroine on the Verge of a Bad Ending, but My OP Older Brother Won’t Leave Me Alone!? - Chapter 100
Translated by: ShinigamiTori
Chapter 100 ─ Toward the School Festival 3
I couldn’t invite Reinhardt during the breaks between classes because we had to move classrooms frequently, so I called him over to the cafeteria after lunch.
Reinhardt quickly orders and pays for my favorite tea, showcasing his gentlemanly charm as he brings it to me.
“Doing the school festival stall together with Rene-chan? Of course, I’m in.”
“Really? Thank you!”
“Thank you for inviting me too.”
I immediately invited him to do the stall with me and was relieved when he readily agreed with a beaming smile.
Then, Reinhardt gently put his hand on top of the hand I had casually placed on the table.
“You need those extra points for the rank exam, right? I’ll do whatever I can to be of help.”
“Huh? T-Thank you! I’ll do my best too.”
There’s a sense of immense determination coming from him.
When I told him that although I was happy, I didn’t want him to get too worked up, he still gave me a dazzling smile and said, “Don’t worry about it.” Is it really okay?
“But what should we do? Since the top three teams with the highest sales get bonus points, we need to make sure people spend money.”
As expected of a fantasy school with many noble students. The system of “whoever spends the most money wins” was quite unusual for a student event.
It seems that the general public, including the students’ families, will also attend, so I can’t imagine how many sales it’ll take to really secure the first place.
“It’s hard to make a profit with just a regular cafe, isn’t it?”
“Mm, it looks like opting for higher-priced items would be a good idea.”
“Yeah, you’re right. But what should we sell… it’s a school festival after all…”
Hmm, as I racked my brains for ideas, an unfamiliar male student suddenly approached our seats.
Seems like he’s a classmate of Reinhardt’s and has something to discuss with him.
“Noakes-sama, the teacher for the next class is calling for you.”
“… I see. I’m sorry, Rene-chan. Let’s talk more later.”
“Of course! Take care.”
I bid farewell to Reinhardt, who seemed reluctant to leave, and was left alone again, pondering what to do.
As I had been the one to suggest it, I was racking my brains trying to come up with a good idea.
“What’s wrong, Rene-chan?”
Raising my head at the voice, I saw Julius, Arnold-san, and Mylene-sama standing there.
Surrounded by these three individuals whose facial attractiveness scores are off the charts once again today, my corneas feel like they’re about to be incinerated.
Julius and Mylene-sama, who won their respective Beauty Contest at last year’s school festival, looked too picturesque when they stood together.
“Umm… W-Well, actually, I’m troubled about the school festival.”
“Oh, that’s right, the top ranks get bonus points for the rank exam. I knew Rene would definitely participate.”
Even though the seat across was vacant, Julius naturally took a seat beside me, sharing the chair halfway.
I couldn’t help but feel nervous since discovering that we weren’t related by blood. Trying not to show my nervousness, I took a sip of my lukewarm tea.
Then, he put his arm around my shoulder, and I was about to spurt out my tea. This siscon brother is too close today.
“So, Rene-chan is taking part. What will you be doing?”
“I’m having a hard time deciding about that…”
“And your team members?”
“I’ve only gathered six people so far. It’s hard to gather more than ten people to begin with.”
Arnold-san, who kept asking me questions, murmured, “I see, I see,” and smiled warmly.
“Then, this makes it nine people.”
“Eh?”
He said so, then directed his gaze towards Mylene-sama and Julius. Leaving Julius aside, is he really counting Mylene-sama as well?
“Oh, are you including me too? You don’t mind?”
“N-Not at all! I mean, are you sure, Mylene-sama?”
“Mmh. It sounds like a lot of fun.”
Mylene-sama gently narrowed her eyes, framed by beautiful golden eyelashes matching her hair color, and smiled softly.
I was captivated, almost inadvertently wanting to exclaim, “Big Sister…!”, but then Julius said, “Hey,” and covered my eyes with one hand.
“Could you stop being mesmerized by anyone other than me? You cheater.”
“Oh my, are you jealous even of the same sex?”
When I pushed away Julius’ hand, my eyes met Mylene-sama’s amused gaze.
She’s a beautiful woman with a different sex appeal from the orthodox beauty, like Therese, and must be incredibly popular.
“So, we need one more person.”
“Are you all really going to participate?”
“Yeah. It sounds fun, and we have to appreciate the school for deciding not to restrict it by grade.”
It’s quite reassuring to have these three participate. In fact, just having Julius and the other two around makes me feel like we could attract a crowd easily.
“If you need one more person, should I bring someone? There’s this guy called Jeremy. We went on a trip together during autumn break.”
“Ah, that brown-haired one.”
“Yeah, that’s him.”
When I recalled our awkward encounter at Elepalis, I remember there was a cute, brown-haired, handsome guy behind Julius.
My first-year friends and the other members said they would leave it to me, and if it’s my brother’s friend, I can feel more at ease. I will definitely ask him for help.
“Thank you so much! It’s really encouraging to have everyone participate.”
“Rene-chan is adorable. I hope you grow up not to be like Julius.”
“Be quiet.”
Seeing this exchange, it’s clear that Julius and Mylene-sama are indeed quite comfortable with each other.
“If you don’t mind, why don’t we meet up after school today? We only have a limited amount of time to prepare.”
“Of course. I couldn’t participate in last year’s festival due to family matters, so I’m looking forward to it.”
I was relieved to see that not only Arnold-san but also the other two nodded in agreement. After this, I have to inform the other members too.
“I’m also looking forward to the school festival with Rene.”
“Yes! Let’s make lots of fun memories.”
“That’s right.”
Julius ruffles my hair and smiles.
Arnold-san and Mylene-sama cast warm glances at us, remarking on our close relationship. Meanwhile, I feel like my heart is going to jump out of my chest.
In any case, things seemed to be going much smoother than expected, and I was eager for the upcoming preparations for the school festival.
