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 38.1
Translated by: ShinigamiTori
Chapter 38 ? Overnight Trip 2
“The dinner Tommy made was delicious, wasn’t it?”
“Yeah. Tasted like something you’d eat at a restaurant.”
“I know, right?”
After a delicious dinner, we proceeded as planned for Lindsey’s confession time.
That said, our job is just to get the two of them together in the room we’re using. In the meantime, Therese, Jutte, and I will be waiting in Willy’s room.
“I-I hope it goes well.”
“Why are you so nervous?”
After successfully leaving them alone, I kept getting nervous for some reason. To confess to someone you love, it takes an immense amount of courage. I truly respect it.
When I last saw Lindsey, I noticed that her hands were trembling slightly. I can’t help but clasp my hands together tightly and pray that her feelings will reach him.
“Well, it’s definitely something else. Even when you have to turn someone down, you have to be super considerate. If the other person starts crying, it’s a real headache.”
“I see….”
I’ve never confessed or received a confession in my previous life, so this is an entirely new world for me. Willy, whom I had treated as an elementary school student, suddenly seemed like an adult.
“I’m sure your brother will turn it down for you instead.”
“True.”
“He might not even allow you to confess, to be honest.”
He’s the type of brother who got jealous just from seeing me walk with a guy during the school sports festival. It’s entirely possible. Anyway, it’s starting to become a well-known fact that my older brother is a siscon, will things be okay?
As I waited while chatting nervously with everyone, the door to the room finally opened. The moment I saw them appear, holding hands and smiling shyly at each other, I burst into tears.
Apparently, the confession had been a great success, and everyone said, “Congratulations,” and “Good for you,” respectively.
“Rene-chan, thank you so much. Please don’t cry.”
“I-I’m sorry, congratulations… I’m really happy for you…!”
I enthusiastically congratulated the two of them, even as everyone teased me, asking why I was crying the most.
The sight of the blissful couple was truly heartwarming. I was genuinely touched, to the point that I surprised myself with how deeply it affected me. As I shed tears, Willy was there, gently wiping them away with the sleeve of his gym uniform.
“Your crying face, despite your usual tsundere[1] attitude, really tugs at my heart..”
“What are you talking about?”
I involuntarily burst into laughter, causing the tears to subside. After that, we all had a celebratory party with snacks and juice in hand until the very last moment when the lights went out.
As I looked at their hands, which remained linked for a long time, I too felt a gradual warmth filling my heart.
“Lindsey-chan and Dominic are now a couple, right?”
“Yeah. I’m kind of embarrassed.”
“It’s really wonderful, isn’t it? I’m still feeling excited.”
After returning to our room and getting ready for bed, even as we lay in our beds, we continued to chat about love. It’s the best part of a sleepover event, and I get so excited.
“What’s it like to have feelings for someone?”
“It’s when you find yourself thinking about the other person all day long, and you want to share your joys with them first. It feels like the world changes.”
“The world changes….”
I’m reminded once again that falling in love is truly an amazing thing. The fact that two people who were once strangers can meet and fall for each other—it feels like a real miracle. It’s beautiful.
“I don’t have anyone like that yet. Hey, Rene-chan, when you have something to be happy about, who’s the first person you want to share it with?”
“I guess my brother.”
“Oh right, you guys are really close.”
In response to Yutte-chan’s question, the answer easily came out of my mouth: Julius. I might be slowly becoming a brocon without even realizing it.
But I was confident that if it were my brother, he would gently pat my head, smile, and say, “That’s great,” as he listened to me.
“I have a younger brother too, and he always says he loves his big sister. If he ever gets a girlfriend someday, I might die of loneliness.”
“That’s so cute, I’m jealous.”
“Rene-chan, you should tell your brother that you love him a lot. He’ll definitely be happy.”
Despite saying that I relied on him the most, I had never actually told my brother that I loved him. It’s strange considering I often tell my friends that I love them.
I also remember that, in my past life, the younger sister of the sibling pair in the same facility used to say, “I love you, Big Brother,” like it was her catchphrase.
I was so busy this morning that I didn’t even get to thank him enough for the hairpin. When I get home, it might be a good idea to tell him that I love him once in a while, along with thanking him.
“Aren’t you sleepy, Rene-chan?”
“My heart is pounding so hard that I can’t sleep.”
“Hehe, thank you. May the sweet and lovely Rene-chan also find a wonderful love someday.”
Until now, I had vaguely said that I wanted to fall in love. However, after seeing the two of them so happy, a clear longing for a specific kind of romance had taken root in my heart.
“Even if you find a lover, let’s continue being good friends, okay?”
“Absolutely! I like Therese so much.”
“I’m glad. I like you too.”
After that, I went to Therese’s bed and the two of us fell asleep together while holding hands.
