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 38.2
After that, I went to Therese’s bed and the two of us fell asleep together while holding hands.

The next morning, I had a hearty breakfast in the cafeteria, and then I let my long hair down and put it into a loose ponytail, gearing myself up. I was most excited about today’s free time.
“… Huh, what’s this?”
Meanwhile, I noticed that there was a bright red stone in the pocket of my gym uniform. Although I don’t recognize it, I feel like it’ll be a waste to throw away the beautiful-looking item, so I put it back in my pocket and leave the room.
Then, as planned, I met up with Therese, Willy, Yoshida, Prince Theodore, and Reinhardt. The thought of being able to spend the whole day with my cherished friends makes me feel happy.
“Rene-chan, that hairstyle really suits you. You look cute.”
“Thank you.”
“Being able to spend the whole day together like this is really great.”
“Yeah, let’s have fun.”
Reinhardt took my hand and smiled happily. With his hair swept to one side, he looks exceptionally handsome today.
Today, we all plan to take a leisure walk along a tranquil mountain path and eat lunch at a hut along the way.
They accommodated my lack of stamina, taking occasional breaks as we walked at a relaxed pace, chatting all the while.
The gentle scent of the trees, the pleasant chirping of the birds, and the refreshing air make my soul feel cleansed. As a person who used to be an indoor person, this was the first time I learned the joy and splendor of being in touch with nature.
“Yoshida, that’s my water bottle.”
“Pfft!”
“Stealing my first indirect kiss so casually… So scheming.”
After about two hours of walking, we took another break, and while looking down at the map, Yoshida reached for the water bottle and accidentally drank mine.
I couldn’t help but tease him immediately, and he turned beet red and coughed violently.
And, Reinhardt, who had been quietly watching our interaction by my side, murmured, “What?” in a low voice.
Snatching my water bottle, he said, “I’ll go wash this” and handed me his own. “You can have mine, Rene-chan,” he added as he walked away. I wonder if he is okay.
“Yoshida, you’re quite assertive. Good job!”
“Don’t be stupid. And besides, it’s my first time as well.”
“I get it. I’ll take responsibility.”
“Shut up.”
As Willy and I playfully teased Yoshida, who was trying to maintain his composure but had blushed all the way to his ears, I noticed Prince Theodore quietly chuckling. I was happy to see that he was also having a good time.
“Hey, I found something strange. Check this out.”
“What is it?”
When Reinhardt came back and stated that, we veered off course and followed him.
“What is this…..?”
“There shouldn’t have been anything like this.”
Right before our eyes, we found something unquestionably strange—an enormous altar-like structure with what seemed like an entrance leading underground.
It’s crazy that something of this magnitude isn’t even on the map, and no one even knew it existed.
“Wow! Seems interesting, let’s go explore it.”
“Theodore-sama is also present; we can’t simply overlook this.”
“…. Rene? You look pale, are you okay?”
Therese peered at me with concern as I remained speechless, reaching out to hold my hand.
I have this incredibly bad feeling that some serious trouble is about to happen. My intuition as a heroine, which usually doesn’t work at all, is telling me to leave this place right now.
“Hey, let’s hurry up and get out of here—”
Right as I was about to say that, a strange clunking sound echoed, and then the ground shook violently. After a few seconds, the ground vanished.
And without even time to scream, we were sucked into the darkness that spread out before our feet.
