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 65
Translated by: ShinigamiTori
Chapter 65 ? Crossed Paths
As I held my head in my hands, Yoshida continued, “…Well.”
“Judging by your brother’s usual behavior, isn’t it possible that time will resolve things? I can’t imagine him staying away from you forever.”
To summarize, since my brother is a siscon, he’ll probably reach a point where he can’t endure it any longer and will go back to treating me as usual.
I look up at Yoshida, hoping that he’s right.
“More than anything, you guys are family, and things will get back to normal eventually.”
“Yeah, you’re right. Thanks for listening to me, Yoshida!”
As Yoshida said, we’re a family. Somewhere in the back of my mind, I may have inadvertently been feeling vulnerable, worrying about what he said the other day, “I’m not your brother.”
Deciding to carry on as usual and wait for Julius to return to his usual self, I straighten up.
“For now, I’m going to the restroom!”
“You don’t have to announce everything. Have some more modesty.”
“Ah, sorry.”
I then headed inside the castle and later tried to return to my friends again, only to find myself lost in the vast garden. I made my way through the blooming flowers, thinking it was like a maze.
I slowly walked along the path as I realized that, in my previous life, I had never had the chance to leisurely admire beautiful flowers like this.
“Eh….?”
Suddenly, the figure of a man sitting under a large tree, covering his face with one hand, came into view. Thinking that perhaps he was not feeling well, I gently approached and tried calling out to him.
“Excuse me, are you okay?”
The moment the man lifted his face, I inhaled sharply.
The man, with jet-black hair and eyes, had a stunningly beautiful face. It’s almost unreal, as if not of this world.
Upon seeing me, the man let out a deep sigh.
“Ugh, don’t bother talking to me. It’s pointless anyway.”
“Oh, I’m sorry. But, what do you mean by ‘pointless’?”
“…. Huh?”
I tilted my head in confusion, wondering what could be considered pointless, the man widened his almond-shaped eyes in surprise.
“You…. understand what I’m saying?”
“Eh? Well, that’s normal, isn’t it…?”
Seeing the man’s incredulous expression, I, too, felt puzzled. I can understand what he’s saying perfectly well, but his voice is so melodic that it makes comprehension even easier.
The man eventually stands up and approaches me. Apparently, he wasn’t unwell.
?
“Heh~? This country has some interesting things too, huh?”
“…… Ah.”
This country, which means he may be from another country. And finally, it struck me. My language cheat-like ability allows me to understand normally even when the other person is speaking a different language.
In other words, it’s possible that this man was speaking an unusual language that’s not the language of this country, and I was automatically translating it into the conversation.
“You, what’s your name?”
“I-It’s Rene.”
“Hmm, Rene, huh? Nice name, Rene. I like it.”
The man smiled as he repeatedly called my name as if savoring it.
For some reason, a shiver ran down my spine as I was captivated by his unbelievably beautiful smile.
“I’m Meredith. Remember me.”
I can’t look away from those eyes that are like the deepest depths of darkness.
“Hey, are you mesmerized by my face?”
“… U-Um…”
“Yep, things got complicated, but I’ve changed my mind. See you around.”
With that said, the man who called himself Meredith disappeared in an instant. Who was he?
Thinking that he was a strange person, I tried to return to everyone, but upon glancing around, I found myself at a loss for words.
“Oh, Rene. You’re back.”
I had somehow returned to the place where Therese and the others were. I was definitely in a different place just a few minutes ago.
“Rene-chan? What’s wrong? Are you okay?”
Reinhardt looked at me with concern, and I hurriedly returned a smile. I was so surprised that I seemed to have frozen up.
The abrupt teleportation to this location—was it the man’s magic from earlier? I’m not entirely sure, but for now, I’ll chalk it up to encountering a flower fairy and choose not to be bothered by it.
“Yeah, I’m fine! Sorry.”
??It wasn’t long before I learned that Meredith wasn’t a cute little thing called a fairy and that he was a threat to my life, but that was a tale for another day.
