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 144
Translated by: ShinigamiTori
Chapter 144 ? Preparing for the Hunting Tournament 3
“Why didn’t you invite me too? I’m so shocked that I’ve lost my appetite and might be bedridden for the entire winter break.”
“He’s been like this all morning ever since we told him we’re participating in the hunting competition. It’s such a hassle.”
Arnold-san seems genuinely upset, rubbing the spot where Julius hit him while looking at me with puppy-dog eyes.
His exceptionally good looks made the guilt a hundred times worse.
“S-Sorry…”
“Come on, you’ve never been interested in these things.”
“I just want to have fun with everyone.”
Arnold-san’s sincere words hit me. If I weren’t invited to hang out with my close friends, I’d feel lonely and sad too.
“Are teams limited to four people? Can’t Arnold-san participate with us?”
“Registration is for four people. There’s no problem if he joins us, though.”
“Then I’ll enter as an individual and join in.”
“Absolutely! Let’s do that!”
“Well, do whatever you want.”
With Arnold-san’s participation confirmed, the excitement grew. His bright smile was blinding, and seeing Julius and Mylene-sama with their mixed expressions of reluctance and acceptance was quite amusing.
As an S-rank, Arnold-san has high combat abilities, so just having him join us is incredibly reassuring.
“It’s because this guy is the one with the fewest friends.”
“Huh? That’s surprising.”
“How mean! But there are a lot of things to look forward to during winter break. The hunting tournament and also Rene-chan’s—”
As Arnold-san was about to continue, Julius and Mylene-sama suddenly delivered a powerful blow to him, smiling all the while.
For some reason, even Yoshida looks flustered, and I’m puzzled as to what’s happening. That must have hurt a lot.
“M-My…? Is there something wrong with me?”
“Arnold’s just so happy that he lost his mind. It’s a normal thing, so don’t worry about it.”
“Yes, Rene, you don’t need to worry about anything.”
I didn’t quite understand, but when I said “Okay,” everyone seemed relieved for some reason.
???
Since the rank exam ended, the days have flown by, and with ongoing studies and archery practice with Julius, winter break is now just three days away.
It’s a bit unsettling that there are no Christmas or New Year celebrations in this world, making the winter feel somewhat incomplete. Though, I usually spent those holidays alone anyway, just like my birthday.
Since it doesn’t exist, I thought I’d create one myself, so I’m organizing a Christmas-style party for the winter holidays
“Alright, let’s have a hot pot party and a snowball fight with everyone on the day!”
“I don’t really get it, but it sounds fun, so let’s do it all!”
“….”
“I want to do whatever Rene-chan wants to do.”
I was thrilled that everyone showed interest in these new activities and events.
I’ve always wanted to have a hot pot or takoyaki party with friends. Although hot pots don’t exist here, it should be possible to create something similar using a large pot.
None of my friends here had ever had a snowball fight, and Willy was particularly excited when I explained the rules.
“Double points if you hit Yoshida’s glasses!”
“What?”
“Hehe, I can’t wait.”
With such amazing friends, I feel like I’ve already achieved my initial goal of “enjoying student life.”
All that’s left is romance—but as soon as I thought about it, Julius’s face appeared, and I shook my head vigorously.
“It’s nice to have all kinds of fun with you, Rene. Thank you for always being such a good friend.”
“T-Therese…! Me too, thank you, and I love you!”
Just like Mylene-sama, Therese, being a high-ranking noble, was difficult to approach. Thus, despite having noble interactions, she hadn’t spent much time hanging out with friends.
I want to keep enjoying each day with everyone and make lots of memories. Our three years as students will fly by in the blink of an eye.
“Reinhardt, is there anything you want to do? You’re always listening to my ideas.”
“Me? I’d love to go on a trip with everyone someday. I was really envious of the trip Yoshida and Willy had during the autumn break.”
“I would’ve gladly traded places.”
Yoshida’s words, given that he was attending classes in disguise at another school while I was passed out with a nosebleed, carried weight.
“Traveling abroad sounds nice.”
“A-Abroad…! I really want to go!”
“….”
“Oh, I see! As expected of Theodore-sama.”
Due to his position, the prince has many opportunities to travel to other countries. He seems to have many acquaintances and is very reliable.
Planning a trip abroad was a big deal, so we decided to align our schedules and make plans for the next long vacation.
The growing list of exciting plans makes my heart race with anticipation. At the same time, I steeled myself to make sure I put in the effort needed for my tasks.
