Translated by: ShinigamiTori
Chapter 148 ? The Hunting Tournament 2
The thought that Yoshida cared so much made my chest tighten.
“I’m sorry, and thank you. It’s because of my own shortcomings….”
“You don’t need to apologize. And actually, Theodore-sama was considering visiting you the next day. I stopped him, though, because I knew you wouldn’t want a surprise visit.”
“Eehh! Even Theodore-sama…!?”
Had he, a prince, suddenly shown up at our home, the servants and my parents would have been confused and panicked, causing a huge commotion.
Nevertheless, I’m incredibly grateful for the sentiment.
“…..”
I remember the prince’s sad expression that day when he looked at my still-green brooch, his brows lowering in sorrow. My heart was warmed again by the presence of my kind friends who cared for me.
“Did Theo really do that?”
“Yes.”
Yoshida’s father, who had known the prince since he was young, showed a bit of surprise before smiling softly with eyes the same golden color as Yoshida’s.
“I see. I’m truly glad to know that you’re enjoying a fulfilling school life with such wonderful friends.”
Yoshida’s father smiled in relief before he was called by a man who seemed to be his subordinate and left.
I waved goodbye and then turned to Yoshida.
“Yoshida’s father is such a wonderful person, isn’t he?”
“Yeah. He’s the person I respect the most.”
To be able to feel that way about one’s own father is truly remarkable. It must be because Yoshida grew up in such a warm and wonderful family that he turned out to be such a good person.
“… Ah, where did Julius go?”
I realized I had run off after finding Yoshida and had left Julius behind. I looked around, but with so many people, I couldn’t spot him.
Yoshida, noticing my panic, said, “Calm down.”
“He instructed me to look after you and then went off somewhere.”
“When did that happen?”
It appears that such an exchange had occurred while I was talking with Yoshida’s father. The level of trust that Julius has in Yoshida is incredibly high.
In order to join up with not only Julius but also with Mylene-sama, and Arnold-san, I began searching together with Yoshida.
“Hey, Rene! Yoshida!”
“Willy! You’re here!”
“Yeah.”
As we wove our way through the crowd, I spotted Willy waving his hands and shouting loudly.
He had expressed interest in the hunting tournament and mentioned he would come if he could. It’s quite rare for him to actually make it.
Beside him is a somewhat older and handsome man with red hair, similar to Willy’s. Could he be…?
“Brother, these are my friends!”
“I see. I’m Bram McLeod. My younger brother always talks about you.”
“Nice to meet you! I’m Rene Wainwright.”
“I’m Maximilian Steiner.”
It turns out that he is indeed Willy’s older brother, who is also in the Knight Order. He had a very calm demeanor, in contrast to Willy, but they shared similar features in their eyes and nose.
I bow my head, thinking inwardly that it is rare to see Yoshida introducing himself using his full name.
“I’ve heard a lot about you, Rene-san. Perhaps Maximilian-kun is in the same class as you?”
“Brother, it’s Yoshida! I talk about him all the time, remember!”
“Ah, so ‘Maximilian’ is Yoshida-kun’s nickname. Willy seems to really like you.”
“Thank you, but it’s the other way around.”
“What? Yoshida likes me that much?”
“Not that way.”
The conversation didn’t quite align, leading to a chaotic exchange. It seems that even in the McLeod family, Yoshida has become established as Yoshida.
“Let’s do our best! I won’t lose!”
“Yes, let’s give it our all!”
After parting ways with Willy and his brother, I continued walking through the crowd with Yoshida.
The tournament hadn’t even started yet, but Yoshida was already starting to look tired.
“Isn’t that your brother over there?”
“Ah, it is.”
There is a group of people a short distance away that is attracting people’s attention, and when I peek out from behind Yoshida, I see Julius among them.
Julius was talking with a distinguished-looking middle-aged man, and from the overall impression, I could tell that this person was Duke Shearsmith. Indeed, as expected of a duke, the noble aura is on a completely different level.
Since they appeared to be engrossed in their discussion, I decided to wait from afar until Julius was done.
“Julius, I missed you!”
Suddenly, I heard a sweet voice and saw a beautiful girl resembling a fairy running toward Julius.
I thought about how Julius was surrounded by beauties and handsome men, and couldn’t take my eyes off the scene.
“Thank you for the other day.”
“Mmhm, it was for Julius. Besides, it was my first time experiencing something like that, so I was excited, and it was a lot of fun.”
“I’m glad to hear that.”
“Julius was quite different from his usual gentle and kind self that day. He was rather sadistic… Oh my.”
The beautiful girl blushes with a bashful expression and lowers her eyes.
I wondered what kind of experience they had that made her so excited. And what was meant by “sadistic”?
“Are you curious? Rene-chan?”
“Eek!”
My heart jumps in surprise at the sweet voice that suddenly rings near my ear. Of course, it was Arnold-san’s doing.
