Translated by: ShinigamiTori
Chapter 164 ? Side Story: A Sister and A Brother
During the lunch break, I excitedly headed towards the courtyard after borrowing a certain book from the library.
Since the weather is so nice, I plan to spend the remaining time reading on a bench under the trees.
“Ah, Rene?”
“Ah… Good afternoon, Mylene-sama!”
There stood Mylene-sama, Julius’s classmate and an incredibly beautiful woman. She was so stunning today that just catching a glimpse of her took my breath away.
Though we had known each other for a while, I feel like we’ve gotten quite close through preparing for the school festival.
With her position as a duke’s daughter and her stunning beauty, she always seemed out of reach, and I used to get nervous just greeting her. But now, thanks to Mylene-sama’s friendly and kind nature, we’ve been having pleasant conversations lately.
“What’s wrong? What are you doing here?”
“It’s such nice weather, so I thought I’d read outside.”
It seems that Mylene-sama was called out for a confession earlier and turned it down without hesitation. I’ve always wished I could say something like, ‘I was confessed to right here… Hehe.’
Eventually, Mylene-sama turns her gaze to the book in my hand.
“Oh, Rene, you’re reading a romance novel.”
“It’s a bit embarrassing, but I’ve always longed for this kind of romance…”
That’s right, today I was planning to read a romance novel. I wanted to learn about love.
“That’s nice. I don’t usually read things like this, so I’m curious.”
Somehow, I ended up reading the romance novel “The End of Love and Desire” together with Mylene-sama.
“Well then, I’ll read it out loud.”
“Yes!”
It felt like a storytelling session, and my heart was racing. Mylene-sama’s voice was beautiful as well. I felt compelled to pay her for this.
“What’s the matter? You’re smiling so brightly.”
“I’ve always looked up to you like an older sister, so this makes me happy.”
“You can become my sister anytime.”
She patted my head with a gentle “there, there,” and I couldn’t help but feel shy. Then, I happily continued reading the book with Mylene-sama.
“Oh my, that’s amazing.”
“W-Wow…”
The novel had a passionate kissing scene, and I couldn’t help but wonder if it’s really okay to have such content in the school library.
Reading this kind of thing with someone else made it quite embarrassing. However, unlike my flustered state, Mylene-sama continued reading boldly, looking genuinely intrigued.
“There are scenes between women too.”
“T-That’s true.”
A beautiful woman even appears and approaches the heroine, and the story takes a chaotic turn. Reading a story like this while being so close to a beautiful woman is really making my heart race.
“Your face is red. Is something wrong?”
“N-No…”
“Could it be that you’re conscious of it? I think I could be interested in someone as cute as you, Rene.”
“Eep!”
Mylene-sama smiled seductively and gently tilted my chin, bringing her stunningly beautiful face closer. Please wait!
A sweet, floral, and incredibly pleasant scent wafted toward me, causing my heart to race, and I squeezed my eyes shut tightly.
“Hey, can you not play around with Rene?”
Suddenly, I heard Julius’ voice, and I felt myself being pulled back. When I opened my eyes, I saw Julius holding me close with a slightly exasperated look on his face.
It looked like he had spotted us from afar and hurried over. Julius shot a brief glare at Mylene-sama and tightened his arms around me.
“Really, you have a twisted sense of humor. Talking nonsense like that when you’re not interested in women at all.”
“Because watching Rene all flustered is just too cute. Honestly, I prefer her over you.”
With a delighted smile, Mylene-sama rose to her feet and gently touched my cheek.
At the same time, I heard Julius clicking his tongue right by my ear.
“Let’s play again sometime.”
“Y-Yes…”
With that, Mylene-sama gracefully swept her long, beautiful blonde hair as she walked away.
So, she had just been teasing me for her own amusement, but here I was, feeling almost honored to have been “played with.” An overpowering beauty like hers is truly something.
Meanwhile, Julius let out a big sigh as he continued to hold me in his arms.
“Seriously annoying.”
“Huh?”
“Your face looks like you’re genuinely flustered.”
“No, no, that was just unavoidable!”
It’s impossible not to feel nervous when a beauty like that comes on to you, even if she’s the same sex.
Even his sulking face was a work of art, and as Julius brought his scowling face closer, my heart pounded without a break.
“You never make that kind of face for me.”
“T-That’s not true…”
Yes, recently, it’s been Julius who makes me feel this way. He doesn’t need to sulk about it. There’s no need for him to sulk over it.
“Really?”
“Yes! So, I’d prefer it if you could move back a little…”
Perhaps sensing the situation, Julius gave a charming smile.
“Oh, it’s true. Your face is all red, it’s cute.”
“…”
Those words made my heart race even more.
I think it’s really unfair of Julius to be able to say something like this so casually.
“S-So, how about we distance ourselves a bit now?”
“Only if you promise you won’t feel flustered about anyone but me.”
“T-That’s a bit…”
I don’t often get flustered about men, but it turns out I’m weak to beautiful women, so there’s no way I can make that promise.
Then, Julius said, “You traitor,” and, like Mylene-sama earlier, grabbed my chin.
“I don’t get flustered by anyone other than you, Rene. How cruel.”
“Anyone would look up to someone like Mylene-sama, a beautiful older sister.”
“Hey, isn’t it a bit too much to want both an older brother and an older sister?”
“I-I’m sorry…”
Realizing I was being greedy, I apologized, and Julius continued, “In that case…”
“What if I make Yoshida-kun my little brother and act all affectionate to him, huh? How would you feel about that?”
“Eh…?”
The unexpected question left me speechless.
From Julius’ perspective, it may have been a similar situation, but still, something like that??….
“To be honest, I really want to see that.”
“Huh?”
??After that, I was scolded fiercely and had to promise not to get too close to to either boys or girls.
On top of that, Julius went and tattled to Yoshida, and as a result, I couldn’t speak to Yoshida for a while—but that’s a whole other story.
