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 134
Translated by: ShinigamiTori
Chapter 134 ? Learning About Love 5
“While the men are hunting, where do the women spend their time? Do they wait outside?”
“Of course not. They stay in a warm place nearby, having tea and sweets while resting leisurely.”
“Wow, what a big difference.”
Although it’s quite normal in this world, it still surprises me. The idea of Julius hunting in the snowy wilderness while I’m comfortably chatting feels somewhat unsettling.
“And some women participate as well. I heard Mylene took down a big one last year.”
“A-As expected of Mylene-sama… She’s so impressive!”
Mylene-sama, the extraordinarily beautiful S-rank who greatly assisted us during the school festival, is truly remarkable. Just imagining her in hunting gear makes me smile.
“So, students can participate too?”
“Yes. The Shearsmith family, who hosts the event, is the leading Duke family. Many students probably want to showcase their skills. The Duke’s knight order is also an elite path.”
“I see, everyone is so hardworking.”
Hearing about students my age working hard for their future makes me want to focus on my own future as well.
I definitely want to avoid the fate of my past life, where I was enticed by money into a toxic company, endlessly performing mundane tasks that anyone could do from morning till late at night.
Just remembering it makes me want to cry.
“I hope one day I will be strong enough to participate.”
“What? You want to participate too, Rene?”
“I just thought it was cool, but right now all I can do is make snowballs.”
“I think you could at least catch one rabbit. Do you want to participate with me?”
To my surprise, the hunting tournament is divided into individual and group categories, with the latter consisting of teams of four.
The group category seems to be less serious than the individual one, so it looks like there would be no problem if I participated.
“If you have any desire to participate, Rene, let’s do it together. It would make for some good memories.”
“I’ll be a total liability, you know? Are you sure it’s fine?”
“For me, it’s enough just to participate with Rene.”
“Ugh…”
Julius said this while lifting the corners of his mouth into a charming smile.
It was impossible not to be happy to hear him say that, and there was no way I could refuse. Hearing him talk about making memories also made me secretly happy.
More than anything, I wanted to create many memories with Julius, going to various places and trying different things together. Nodding firmly, I then lifted my gaze.
“Thank you. I’ll do my best even though I’m inexperienced!”
“Great. After the rank exam is over, let’s practice some magic for hunting. Rene, can you use a bow?”
“Ah, actually, I might be more accurate with a bow than with magic.”
I had some experience with archery in my past life and even once participated in the sports festival at the last minute and somehow managed to win.
Given how unreliable my magic was, a bow might be more useful.
“It might be an advantage for Rene going forward, so let’s get you a magical bow. Starting from the second year, there will be combat training with monsters, and it will be a main component of the third-year graduation exams.”
“W-What did you say…?!”
Apparently, the crucial graduation exam in the third year involves choosing and defeating a monster of a certain rank in a combat simulation.
Since I’m aiming for S-rank, I need to be prepared to defeat the strongest monsters. It seems I still have a lot to work on, but that only fueled my determination.
“I really want my own weapon!”
“I’ve been wanting to get a new sword as well, so let’s go check it out after this.”
After finishing our meal, we went to a magic tool shop, and I’m excited by the fantasy feel of it. There are still many things in this world that I don’t know and are new to me, which makes my heart flutter.
Julius had casually mentioned a sword, but I was once again overwhelmed by how impressive he must look wielding one, which made me feel even more awestruck. His capabilities seemed endless.
“If we’re going to participate as a group, we’re going to need two more members to join us, so what should we do?”
“If we invite Yoshida and Mylene-sama, do you think they would join us?”
“Mylene joins every year reluctantly out of tradition, so she’d probably be happy to join if invited. As for Yoshida-kun, he might be serious about competing individually, so it would be good to check with him.”
“Okay, I’ll do that!”
Yoshida has always looked after me, both inside and outside the academy, so it wouldn’t be surprising if he declined this time.
Even for the trip to Perfect Academy, I had desperately clung to him to get him to come along. If he refuses this time, I’ve resolved to accept it without protest. I’ll ask both of them next week.
