Translated by: ShinigamiTori
Chapter 120 ? Fragments of Truth 5
“Julius, what do you mean by that…?”
“After you jumped, Sister, our big brother immediately asked me to ‘provide treatment until the doctor arrives.’ Even so, since you jumped on your own, I said you probably wouldn’t want that and refused.”
As expected of Jenny, such a cold response. But then again, you reap what you sow, so she’s not wrong.
“Brother bowed his head and pleaded, ‘Please help her.’ So, I reluctantly treated you.”
“…”
“I’ve never seen Brother so distraught before. You’re really a troublesome and annoying person.”
Jenny glared at me sharply and slammed the door shut with a loud bang.
I stood there for a while, then eventually returned to my room and collapsed onto my bed.
“He didn’t mention any of that.”
The thought of Julius bowing his head to Jenny for my sake makes my heart ache and it becomes suffocating. I don’t know what this feeling welling up from deep within me is.
“… It’s not fair.”
I hug a stuffed toy tightly and unconsciously murmur those words.
??One thing I know is that even though we just parted, I already want to see Julius again.
From then until I drifted off to sleep, the sensation of my chest tightening and my rapid heartbeat didn’t ease.
???
The next morning, the day of the school festival. With no health issues, I was fully prepared and went to school with Julius.
“Hey Julius, thank you for everything.”
“For what? I didn’t do anything.”
By the way, I tried to casually thank him while having dinner together last night, but that was all he said.
I didn’t say anything more and vowed to repay him properly from now on. I really am always being helped by my brother.
During breakfast with my parents and Jenny, I covered up the jump accident with a vague excuse of being “disoriented from a strong head injury.” Ignoring the cold stares from the three of them, I ate my fill without concern and moved on.
“Still, I’m surprised at how energetic you are.”
“That’s one of my few strengths.”
“I think Rene has plenty of good qualities, though.”
“T-Thank you! Julius has plenty of them too!”
“I hope so.”
While there are plenty of things on my mind, fretting over them won’t change anything, nor will it bring any new understanding.
I’ll focus on being careful with my injuries and aim to enjoy the school festival wholeheartedly.
“Yoshida, good morning! It’s finally the festival day!”
I arrived at school a bit early and eagerly threw myself at Yoshida as soon as he arrived.
“Hey, are you okay?”
Usually, he would push me away immediately, but today he supported me instead, and his gestures and tone conveyed his concern.
Not wanting to get scolded by Julius, who was watching from behind, I quickly let go and faced Yoshida.
“Sorry for worrying you. As you can see, I’m completely fine now.”
“Are you really sure there’s no problem? …When I saw you bleeding heavily from your head, I felt like my lifespan had decreased.”
“Yoshida…”
Seeing Yoshida look at me with such a worried gaze, my feelings of guilt only grew.
Yoshida sighed deeply and adjusted his glasses.
“I really can’t take my eyes off you.”
“I’m sorry Yoshida, you’ll have to stay by my side the rest of your life.”
“Shut up, you idiot.”
He finally gave a small smile, which made me feel relieved. After that, while I was being warned like a child not to go out alone and not to leave people’s side, the other members also arrived at school.
Everyone seemed to know about my accident and were quite worried.
“I think the student who caused the accident should be executed.”
“I-It wasn’t intentional, and I’m fine too! See?”
“It’s just, the thought of something happening to you, Rene-chan… But I’m really glad you’re okay.”
Reinhardt was especially furious, and it took a lot of effort to calm him down. He seemed genuinely ready to take revenge.
I’m of course glad that he was so concerned, and I’ve promised to be more careful in the future.
Apparently, the student who caused the accident came from a lower social status than mine, and last night they came down to apologize to me with their parents, kneeling on the ground, so I had told them not to worry about it.
Afterward, the boys and girls split up and got changed. The girls backstage were wearing matching black dresses, and Yutte-chan had also style our hair into cute loose twin tails.
“You look so cute. I’m tempted to request you.”
“W-Wait… Theresa, you look too cool… It’s too much… After the break, I’m definitely nominating you!”
“Hehe, thank you.”
Therese looked so handsome in her male costume that I felt like I might actually fall in love. It made me realize that a stunning beauty can look good in anything.
Therese was the only one I had a light customer service practice with at the cafe after we went shopping together, but it was a divine experience that definitely convinced me that she would gain a huge following among the same gender.
“Julius, have you finished changing??ugh… Too dazzling…!”
Thinking the boys had finished changing, I peeked behind the curtain.
“Yeah, I’m done.”
There stood Julius, dressed in a glamorous formal outfit of white and gold hues, resembling a prince straight out of a fairy tale. My heart skipped a beat just by locking eyes with him.
“W-Wow…”
I couldn’t help but stare in admiration at his otherworldly good looks.
I seriously wondered how much love from God one would need to be born so beautifully.
