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 155
Translated by: ShinigamiTori
Chapter 155 ? The Hunting Tournament 9
“Hahaha, don’t look like it’s the end of the world.”
Julius held my hand as if to reassure me, but I couldn’t stop sweating.
??Anna-san was undoubtedly a dedicated player of “My Lovelyn.” For her to have failed multiple times, it must be incredibly difficult.
And if there are so many failures that the game requires repeated reloads, it seems likely that the heroine will need to put in a lot of effort to defeat the variant Behemoth.
What could I possibly do against such a huge monster? I could hardly see it because of the snow, but I’m sure it looked terrifying.
Even the terrifying giant spider would seem like a baby next to the Behemoth.
The fact that this is reality, with no save or load options, means there’s no way to retry. It feels like the biggest crisis I’ve ever faced. It’s extremely bad.
“… No, it’s fine. It’ll definitely be fine.”
But, I’ve done everything I could up to this point.
I can say this with confidence, and my stats at this point are certainly not weak. I’m convinced there has to be a solution.
Most importantly, I’m not alone—everyone is with me.
“Everyone, read this for the time being and remember it. Julius will likely have a strategy ready by tomorrow morning.”
“Got it.”
For the time being, it was time to take turns reading the notebook, and since I declared I would read last, I took the opportunity to quickly get ready for bed.
Not only did I get up early this morning, but I also exercised several times more than usual. It’s no wonder I’m tired; I’ve been fighting off sleep for a while now.
I’m a hindrance as it is, so I thought that getting plenty of sleep would at least ensure I was in perfect shape, and then I made my way to the bathroom.
???
“Ahhh, that was a nice bath. I feel revived.”
“Yawn… I’ll go in next.”
“Oh, okay.”
Julius came in yawning and entered the bathroom just as I came out. He must be tired too, since he woke up early.
Even though we’re in the middle of the mountains, there’s not only a bathroom and a bath but also a toothbrush set, and even something like pajamas, making it feel just like a hotel.
Thanks to all that, I’m in the perfect, most comfortable state to leap into bed right now. As I walk, I think of how nice it would be if I could sleep, wake up, and find out that everything about us being lost was just a dream.
“Hey, it’s your turn now.”
“Thanks.”
When I reached the common area, Yoshida handed me the notebook, and I took it and settled down beside him on the sofa.
I immediately opened the notebook and began to read. There were dark red stains here and there, making it very vivid.
“‘In addition to its arms and legs, we need to watch out for attacks from its long, thorny tail… It can also fly high in the air using its wings, making it difficult to attack…’ Wow.”
The more I go through it, the more I doubt there’s anything I can do.
Apparently, its attack power is extremely high, and avoiding taking hits is important. I thought it wouldn’t be so hard if that were possible while flipping through the pages.
“Its weakness is believed to be its horn…. I see.”
When the owner of this diary broke one of its horns, the Behemoth’s demeanor became unusual.
It struggled as if in agony, staggered in confusion, and clearly showed signs of weakening.
“If breaking one horn can change it this much, then breaking both should have quite a significant effect.”
“Yeah. But the book mentions that it can also fly, so that alone won’t be easy.”
“That’s true. This notebook is old, and by now, the horns have probably grown back and become sturdier.”
As I continued reading, twisting my neck in thought, Arnold-san sat down next to me, on the opposite side of Yoshida.
He smoothly draped his arm around my shoulder and leaned in close, peering at the notebook in my hands.
“???”
“Rene-chan, did you notice this part? It’s strange, right?”
“Excuse me, but you’re the strangest thing here.”
I became as stiff as a statue, feeling as though we were lovers playfully sharing a phone screen at that distance.
The stimulation was too strong for me, so I said, “You’re too close,” and pushed him away, but he just grasped my hand tightly and asked, “What’s the matter?” Where should I even start?
Before I knew it, we were pressed together, our hands linked like lovers, and the intimacy level had definitely risen.
At this point, I was starting to admire Arnold-san’s charming flirting technique. This was definitely a talent; it’s not something that just anyone can achieve.
“And on this page here—”
“You, are you trying to make me angry on purpose?”
Julius, who seemed to have just gotten out of the bath, grabbed Arnold-san by the scruff of the neck and dragged him off the sofa.
He then ruthlessly stomped on Arnold-san’s head, a chilly smile spreading across his face.
“For tomorrow’s strategy, we’ll tie Arnold up and use him as bait to lure the Behemoth.”
“Got it. Shouldn’t we hit and kick him to weaken him first? I can help with that.”
“I prefer to be the one doing the tying up rather than being tied up myself.”
Listening to the terrifying conversation of the second-year students, I couldn’t help but feel immensely grateful for the peaceful and heartwarming atmosphere of the first-year group.
Julius settles down next to me and lets out a big yawn.
“You need to dry your hair properly, or you’ll catch a cold.”
“Then, Rene should do it.”
“I won’t be responsible for how your hair looks tomorrow.”
Remembering my failed attempt to dry Willy’s hair during our last trip, I nervously use wind magic, knowing I can’t let Julius have that crazy hairstyle.
Still, it seemed I had made progress in this short period of time, and although it took some time, I was able to dry his hair softly. I used one hand for magic and stroked his hair with the other.
“Hey, I want you to do this every day.”
“I don’t want to.”
“Please. Otherwise, I might catch a cold.”
“…………”
While I disregarded Julius’s sudden troublesome child-like threats, Mylene-sama, who had been watching our exchange, chuckled softly.
“Fufu, you two seem like a couple.”
“If that happens, it would be great.”
“Oh my, is that so?”
Although her voice didn’t sound surprised at all, Mylene-sama put her hand over her mouth and posed in a surprised manner. How adorable.
“Yeah. I like Rene.”
At that moment, I was so flustered that a small whirlwind erupted above Julius’s head.
