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 112
Translated by: ShinigamiTori
Chapter 112 ? A Tale of Love 1
“R-Rita-sama!? Are you okay!?”
Together with Mylene-sama, I hurried over to Rita-sama and helped her up. It seemed that whatever the prince had said had overwhelmed her.
The prince blinked his eyes, framed by long eyelashes, and looked at the fallen Rita-sama. Even for a prince, it’s only natural that he’ll be surprised if someone collapses after just one word.
Rita-sama, her face still flushed and muttering nonsense, was eventually carried away by the attendants. I hope she’ll be okay.
“Even though she’s weak against handsome men, I never thought she’d actually collapse… Well, I’m sure she’ll be fine.”
“But thanks to Rita-sama’s hard work and cooperation, I feel like we’ve gotten a good sense of direction.”
We need to make sure to properly thank Rita-sama later for all the effort she has put in for our stall.
“Let’s wrap up today’s practice here. We’ll practice with Yoshida and Reinhardt another day.”
With no practice partner left, I decided to postpone Yoshida and Reinhardt’s practice for a few days.
“I understand. I think Rene-chan would be a good practice partner. I might be a bit nervous at first, though.”
“Oh, I see. Understood! Are you sure you’re okay with the customer service part? If it’s too hard or makes you anxious, you can work behind the scenes.”
“No, I’ll be fine. I’ll do my best.”
Reinhardt was originally a victim of severe bullying and is quite shy around strangers, so it’s only natural that he would be nervous when suddenly facing a stranger.
I didn’t want him to overdo it, but he seemed very motivated, so I decided to support him as much as I could.
“Then, Yoshida, is it okay if I’m your practice partner too?”
“Sure.”
“Thinking about being served by Yoshida makes me a bit nervous.”
“It’s a bit awkward.”
So, the day after tomorrow, I was set to be the practice customer for both of them. There’s something a bit embarrassing about being served by friends.
Afterward, having something on my mind, I went to the prince, who was quietly drinking tea in the box seat.
Since the expensive tea prepared for Rita-sama remained untouched, I decided to help myself with it.
“Oh, this tea is incredibly delicious. It’s not worth the price at all though.”
“….”
“What did you say to Rita-sama earlier?”
Yes, I had been curious about that one word that caused Rita-sama to faint.
With graceful movements, the prince placed his teacup on the saucer and directed his gaze toward me, opening his thin lips.
“Thank.”
And then, he promptly closed his mouth once more.
“….”
“….”
“T-Thank…? Thank?”
“….”
“E-Eh, did you really just say ‘thank’?”
“….”
In response to my question, the prince nodded his head. He really only said “thank.”
It seemed that the normally silent prince had tried to thank her for the most expensive tea, but Rita-sama had fainted after he uttered just those words.
Indeed, with the prince rarely speaking and his voice being so beautiful, his words have an extraordinary impact.
In my case, when I fell off the cliff with the prince, the first conversation I had with him was him asking me, “Why do you call Maximilian ‘Yoshida’?” It was far from romantic, but in different circumstances, it could have been faint-worthy.
As I shudder at the terrifying thought of a prince capable of causing a woman to faint with just one word, I’m reassured about facing the actual event calmly. I think I’ll prepare a stretcher just in case, though.
“I’ll be counting on you on the day of the festival.”
“…”
“Oh, did you enjoy the cupcake? That’s great! I made it.”
“…”
“I’ll make some more next time. I’m experimenting with chocolate chips and tea flavors.”
“…”
Lately, I’m happy because I feel like I can understand the prince’s feelings better, and we can talk comfortably.
I resolved to support the prince thoroughly so he could have a good time at the school festival.

The next day after school, having finished all my classes, I was having tea with Yutte-chan in the cafeteria.
“Rene-chan, thank you so much. It’s thanks to you that things went well with Jeremy-senpai.”
“No, I didn’t do anything. It’s all thanks to Yutte-chan’s hard work! Congratulations!”
It seems the two are happily continuing their relationship, and they look very happy, which is what matters most. Although I was informed of their relationship the day after the confession, this was the first time I had heard the details.
I didn’t hear any of the confession because of Julius’ antics, but I was told it was so heartfelt and moving that you couldn’t help but tear up.
“Realizing that the person you like likes you back is such a happy feeling.”
“Yeah, definitely.”
As I was listening to the wonderful conversation with the corners of my mouth loosening involuntarily, I was unexpectedly grabbed by both hands and given a serious gaze.
“Now it’s your turn, Rene-chan. I absolutely, absolutely want you to be happy, and I’ll support you wholeheartedly!”
“Eh, me?”
“Yeah! You’ve been talking about wanting to experience love, haven’t you?”
Originally, my main goal since being reincarnated was to experience love. However, after learning that there was a possibility of a bad ending where I die, it felt like it wasn’t the right time for that anymore.
Still, when I see how happy Yutte-chan looks, I can’t shake the desire for a relationship built on mutual love.
As I struggled internally, Yutte-chan, as if seeing through my thoughts, called out my name.
“You’re worried about your studies, right? Rene-chan, you’re not the kind of person who would neglect your responsibilities just because you’re in love. And whoever you fall for will surely be someone wonderful who supports you.”
“Y-Yutte-chan…!”
Her straightforward words and knowing she thought of me that way touched my heart deeply.
“Love isn’t something you should force, but if you do find someone you like, I hope you cherish those feelings.”
“Yes, thank you! I definitely will!”
Yutte-chan’s words resonated with me, and I squeezed her hand and nodded repeatedly.
Combining my past life and present, it will still be my first love, so I want to honor my own feelings.
Yutte-chan smiled softly and continued, “By the way, I’ve always wondered…”
“What kind of person do you like, Rene-chan? Personality-wise?”
Appearance-wise, Arnold-san was my type, but I hadn’t really thought about other preferences. I tilted my head, pondering.
