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 103
Translated by: ShinigamiTori
Chapter 103 ? School Festival Preparation 3
At that moment, I inwardly cursed myself for what I had said.
I was totally swept up in the moment and spoke as if I remembered everything. It had been about five months since I became Rene, and I realized that I had let my guard down completely.
However, it’s not easy to keep pretending to have amnesia for the rest of my life. I would never be able to say that I’m not Rene, that I’m a completely different person, and that this is a world in a game.
Above all, I didn’t want to tell anyone that there was a possibility of a death bad ending for me. Julius and my friends would definitely worry, and I didn’t want to drag them into it.
Even if I did talk about it someday, I wanted to do it after I’d safely reached the ending, so I tried to brush it off for the time being and gave him a grin.
“Um, well, it just feels like that. I mean, it seems like I didn’t even have any friends either.”
“…. Hmm. I see.”
With an inscrutable expression, Julius dropped his gaze back to his notebook. I felt relieved that he didn’t pry any further.
“You know, you’re pretty bad at lying.”
Julius muttered that as he flipped through the pages, causing my heart to start racing nervously again.
It seemed like I hadn’t fooled him at all. A cold sweat ran down my back as I panicked, wondering what to do.
“Well, it’s fine. As long as you haven’t regained your memories.”
“….?”
“But if you run into any trouble, just tell me.”
“T-Thank you.”
Even though he knew I was lying, Julius still stroked my head and said that to me, and my heart tightened with warmth.
“Julius is really kind.”
“Really? You’re the only one who says that, Rene. I’m only kind to you.”
“….”
I feel like this brother of mine is really cunning. My heart is starting to beat loudly, but it’s not my fault!
Meanwhile, Julius, looking as composed as ever, pointed to a certain page of the plan with his long index finger.
“This part is blank. Are you having trouble with something?”
“Oh, I was thinking about how to decorate the interior of the store. I want to create a sense of luxury, but it’s still a classroom, so I’m not sure what to do.”
“You can just outsource that kind of work and have a full-scale renovation done.”
I was surprised by how casually he said that. In my mind, a school festival involved everyone cutting, pasting, and painting cardboard and wooden boards, making everything by hand.
It seems that in the Heartful Academy, which is full of nobles, all those preparations are solved with money.
“If you spend money, you can create a luxurious atmosphere as much as you want, and you can rest assured because you’ll earn it back. Oh, I’ll contact someone I know who’s quick and good at that kind of thing.”
“Wow…!”
Apparently, the school provides a certain amount of funds when doing a stall, and Julius agreed to cover the rest of the amount we needed for now.
“I think we can raise the prices a bit. Also, we can double the price of the most expensive item.”
“Really? I thought I had raised it quite a bit already.”
“Arnold seems really motivated, so I think he’ll make quite a bit of money.”
If Arnold, who’s already unintentionally winning over girls left and right, seriously becomes a host, we might witness the emergence of a dangerously oblivious romance host.
On the other hand, I can’t imagine what Prince Theodore’s serving skills would be like at all. He seemed to be on board with everything, but will he be alright?
Julius then quickly came up with solutions for the other issues I was troubled by, and the plan was completed smoothly. I plan to make copies of it tomorrow and distribute it to everyone.
“Thank you so much! Julius, you really don’t seem like a 17-year-old. You’re so mature.”
“Do you prefer guys like that, Rene?”
“Eh? Well, I guess.”
Even though I was supposed to be a little older, due to my past life, Julius’ maturity level is undoubtedly much higher.
He’s always so composed and capable that I feel like jokingly asking if he’s living his second life.
“That’s good to know. The school festival only lasts for two days, but during that time, we’ll be competing with each other in our stall, right?”
“Yeah, and the customers will also be working hard to prioritize the host they’ve chosen, which will lead to profits.”
“I see. Well, I’ll be number one anyway.”
In actual host clubs, there’s competition not only among the employees but also among the female customers who are choosing the same host. They’re willing to spend a lot of money to become the top customer.
I thought that there wouldn’t be such intense competition at this school festival… However, I can’t shake the feeling that there might be quite a scene around Arnold-san.
After all, sales are important, but it’s still a school festival.
The most important thing is to have fun, and I had hoped to ensure that everyone would be able to smile peacefully.
?
“??So, whoever takes the top spot gets the privilege to watch the fireworks at the closing event with Rene-chan, right?”
“Mmhh, mmhh, I’m getting fired up too!”
“…..”
“Do you guys really think you can beat me?”
For some reason, the next day, a completely confusing battle begins.
