Translated by: ShinigamiTori
Chapter 105 ? A Glimpse of Love at the School Festival 1
Afterward, I parted ways with everyone and rode the carriage with Julius, heading back home.
My brother, sitting beside me naturally, crossed his long legs and leaned his cheek on his hand, exuding a regal demeanor.
“Well, you can relax because I’ll be the one to win. Oh, and let’s make sure to hold hands, okay?”
“Hands…? Oh, right, there’s a superstition like that.”
Now that he mentions it, I remember the narrative that says, ‘If you watch the closing event fireworks holding hands, you’ll end up together.’
Since I thought it had nothing to do with me, it completely slipped my mind.
Now I understand why Mylene-sama told me to limit it to just one person of the opposite sex instead of watching it with everyone.
“Julius, you’re not the type to believe in such things, are you? Besides, there’s no such thing as siblings being bound together.”
“Sometimes, it’s nice to believe in things like that.”
“…. You’re strange, Julius.”
“It takes one to know one.”
Recently, I’ve noticed a slight change in the atmosphere between us.
Part of it was because I was acting suspiciously due to the shocking revelation, but Julius’s attitude was also different from before.
It’s hard to explain, but he’s become incredibly gentle and sweet. Not just in his words and actions, but also in the way he looks at me.
As I dwelled on these thoughts, I began to feel unsettled once more. Eventually, I thought of a topic to bring up, and I recalled something I had been meaning to say.
“Oh, right. I have a favor to ask. I want to help Yutte-chan and Jeremy-senpai’s relationship. Could you help me with that, Julius?”
I’ve barely spoken to the handsome senior, and I can only do so much on my own. Julius’s assistance is essential.
Julius seems to have no interest in other people’s romantic affairs and doesn’t even know that the two of them have good chemistry.
“He’s a good guy, so I don’t mind helping.”
“Thank you! Yutte-chan is a really nice girl, and she’s a dear friend to me. I really hope things work out for them.”
“Rene is really kind-hearted.”
As we talked about ways to pair them up and the setting, we soon arrived at the mansion.

The next day at lunch break, I was having lunch with Yoshida, the prince, and Therese in the upper-class cafeteria.
While Therese and I were going to the cafeteria, we coincidentally met Yoshida and the prince and invited them to join us for lunch.
“I’m sorry I couldn’t make it yesterday, I had something to attend to. But I can’t believe something like that happened… I’m looking forward to it.”
“You should have seen Yoshida when he declared, ‘I won’t lose this time.’ It touched my heart to see how much he wanted to watch the fireworks with me.”
“Don’t blatantly twist the facts.”
Therese appeared very interested when I jokingly told her about the bizarre competition for the chance to spend the after-party with me.
“So, Theodore-sama is taking part as well? I found that a bit surprising.”
“….”
“Well, Theodore-sama often cares about you. He talks about you a lot in our conversations.”
“Huh?”
In addition to the fact that he apparently cares about me, I’m also curious about the conversations between the prince and Yoshida. It seems Yoshida, being his childhood friend, always talks with him normally.
“Um, what does Theodore-sama think about me…?”
“He enjoys your company.”
When I discreetly asked Yoshida, who was sitting next to me, he easily replied with such an answer.
Upon turning my gaze to the prince, thinking it couldn’t be true, it seemed he had heard, nodding subtly, and I felt like breaking down in tears right there.
“T-Theodore-sama…!”
It seems like a miracle when I think back to when we first met, when I was simply greeting him repeatedly like a fool. I reached across the table to grasp the prince’s hand and looked straight into his emerald eyes.
“I’m so happy! If Theodore-sama ever needs help, please feel free to ask. I’ll definitely be there for you.”
The prince stares back intently at me and nods once again. And after a few seconds, he opened his well-shaped lips to speak.
“Maximilian often says that too.”
“Y-Yoshida too…!?”
“I don’t really… Hey, stop clinging to me! It’s too hot.”
I guess it’s true, since he doesn’t outright deny it. I really like Yoshida’s tsundere side.
??There likely isn’t much I can do for my high-spec friends, given that I’m always the one being helped.
However, if they enjoy being with me despite that, there’s nothing happier than that.
I realized once again how happy I am to spend time with my dear friends and how much I want to treasure these moments.
After finishing lunch, I made my way to the other building to retrieve the class materials the teacher had asked me to get as part of my class duty.
While humming happily from the story I heard earlier, I walked alone through the backyard to take a shortcut.
“Hmm~ hmm~?”
As I continued walking, I noticed a figure under a large tree. It was a famous confession spot, so I stopped in my tracks.
“I’m sorry for calling you out here so suddenly…”
I heard the nervous voice of a female student, and this line undoubtedly signaled a confession. Not wanting to disrupt, I silently turned back along the path.
“It’s okay. Just make it short.”
Then, an all too familiar voice followed, and I turned around without thinking. There stood none other than Julius.
