Chapter 110 ? A Glimpse of Love at the School Festival 6
“Wha-what… Waaah!”
Startled, I instinctively jumped back and lost my balance. If this continues, I will stumble out from behind the curtain and appear awkwardly in front of the two who are having a good time.
I reached out to avoid the worst-case scenario, and Julius grabbed my hand, making me hastily grasp back.
Determined not to fall, I forcefully pulled myself up and ended up clinging onto Julius for support.
“You’re bold, Rene-chan.”
“I-It’s unavoidable!”
He whispers in my ear and my face heats up. I try to move away from him in a hurry, but he is holding me tightly, so I can’t do it.
“W-What are you doing?! Stop! And licking my hand… why?!”
“It smelled delicious, so I couldn’t resist.”
“That’s not a valid reason at all!”
When we were cutting out some shapes at Yutte-chan and the handsome senior’s station earlier, the sweet aroma of cookie dough must have transferred onto my palm.
As we whispered, I realized once again that I must always be on guard with this brother of mine.
“It does get hot when we’re stuck like this.”
“That’s why I said to let go.”
“You have to be quiet or they’ll notice.”
“Ugh…”
Anyway, for now, I’ll prioritize listening to the confession of the handsome senior and remain in this position quietly.
Then suddenly, I noticed something.
“… Julius, isn’t your heart beating too fast? Do you have arrhythmia?”
“No, I’m just nervous.”
It’s unbelievable that Julius can say something like that so casually and still be nervous around me.
As I raised my head, our eyes met at a close distance, his clear ice-blue eyes locking with mine.
“I’m also a seventeen-year-old boy.”
“….”
“I actually like that skeptical look on your face.”
“….”
I really didn’t understand Julius at all, but reluctantly, I remained attached to him like a koala. Then, suddenly, I heard the sound of the classroom door opening.
“Sounds like it went well.”
“Eh? Oh, you’re right.”
Before I realized it, the confession seemed to be over, and the two of them were walking out of the kitchen holding hands.
From their smiles, it was clear things went well. Instantly, all the tension left my body.
“Th-Thank goodness…! I’m really glad…”
??From the beginning, Yutte-chan never held any prejudice against me, the underachiever, and she was always friendly. It was thanks to her that I was able to get along with girls other than Therese.
Seeing my dear friend Yutte-chan so happy with someone she liked made me incredibly happy.
Tears welled up in my eyes and soaked Julius’s shirt.
“Ah, s-sorry! I’ll pay you back with my allowance…”
“I don’t care about that, but why are you crying?”
“I-I’m just so happy… because Yutte-chan has been working hard for so long…”
“I see. That’s good.”
Julius pulls out an incredibly fragrant handkerchief and wipes my eyes and nose.
I felt sorry for soiling such a luxurious handkerchief, but at the same time, I felt a surge of joy.
“… I’m actually happy about stuff like this too.”
“Why?”
“It feels very familial, you know?”
“Hahaha, it’s because I’m your big brother.”
I remember my mother gently wiping away my tears when I was a child, as I would always make unnecessary acrobatic falls and get injured, causing me to cry a lot.
With soft eyes, Julius gently stroked my head.
“Jeremy, though… He was saying it was impossible to confess until yesterday.”
“Confessing is really amazing, isn’t it? I’m sure it must be incredibly nerve-wracking and scary.”
I’ve never been in love, but I suppose when you like someone, you’d want to confess, even if the odds are against you.
Considering my personality, even if the chances were zero, I’d probably still say, “Let’s go for it!”
Eventually, Julius turns his gaze toward the door that the two just exited from and murmurs softly.
“… Maybe I should give it a try, too.”
“Give what a try?”
“Nothing. Shall we head home for today?”
“Yes.”
Without saying a word, he naturally takes my bag and offers me his free hand.
As I took his hand, I of course kept quiet about the fact that my heart fluttered a little.

“Now, let’s begin the second round of customer service practice, featuring the first-year students.”
The following week after school, I sat with the first-year members, Mylene-sama, and Rita-sama around the familiar booth.
Although we needed a partner to practice with, when I asked my other first-year friends, they kept refusing me because they were “too afraid of the members,” so I turned to Rita-sama for help.
“Sorry, but I’m relying on Rita-sama again this time. Thank you.”
“Sure, let’s do this. I may have acted a bit shy last time, but this time it’s against first-year students. I’ll show you the pride of a mature woman. Leave it to me.”
With an extravagant claim, Rita-sama sat down in the booth.
“Let’s start with Willy.”
“Alright! I don’t really get it, but I’ll give it a shot!”
Thus, the host practice started right away.
