Translated by: ShinigamiTori
Chapter 73 ? How Did That Happen? 4
“Julius, why were you in such a bad mood?”
“Did it look that way?”
After all the classes were over, Arnold sat in the empty seat before him and tilted his head. A small scream could be heard from a female student in the back who had seen the gesture.
Even though several months have passed since the class reshuffling, the female students still scream at their every move. Sometimes, Julius can’t help but wish that Rene would react the same way.
“Yes. Andy-sensei was practically in tears. Julius keeps looking outside, not paying any attention, and it’s kind of scary.”
“I’ll handle that later.”
“It’s a good idea to do that,” Arnold said with a smile, then directed his gaze outside the window. The two figures were no longer there.
“Could it be that Rene-chan was outside?”
“Yeah. She skipped class and was hugging a guy.”
“Hahaha, that’s bound to make anyone upset.”
During class, when Julius casually shifted his gaze outside the window, he saw the unmistakable figures of Rene and Reinhardt.
He could tell from the way they looked that some sort of trouble had occurred, but the moment he saw them hugging each other, Julius seriously considered rushing over to pull them apart immediately.
“By the way, did you tell Rene-chan everything?”
“Does it look like I did?”
“Sorry, I knew that when I asked.”
Chuckling with amusement, Arnold tilted his head in the opposite direction and questioned, “Why is that?”
“Rene seems to be missing her family a lot.”
“Is that so? Was Julius really that kind?”
Arnold flashes a bright smile and looks at Julius. He definitely knows the truth and is intentionally asking.
Julius, too, is probably too complacent in their current relationship. There’s a slight fear and anxiety within him about whether she’ll still accept him as he is even though he’s not her brother.
Not feeling like himself, Julius reaches for his bag. What scared him the most was that if things continued like this, he might be completely tied up.
“Oh, I’ll come with you. I want to see Rene-chan too.”
“Do as you please.”
That’s how Arnold and Julius ended up heading to the classroom of his adorable sister, who had an uncontrollable tendency to be unfaithful.
???
Returning to the classroom after the discussion with Reinhardt, I found that everything had been smoothly resolved. It seemed that my classmates, led by Therese, had united and coordinated their stories.
If it were just me, because the teachers already had low trust in me, I would undoubtedly have been in serious trouble. I sincerely thank everyone once again.
And now, I find myself visiting Yoshida and Prince Theodore’s classroom.
“I feel like people are staring at me…”
“There seems to be a rumor circulating about men fighting a life-or-death battle to win you over.”
“… Is that really happening?”
The story has been distorted beyond belief. I was wondering which heroine they were referring to, but then I realized it’s just me?I’m the heroine.
Surrounded by curious glances, I feel a bit uneasy. Well, they say gossip doesn’t last forever, so I decided not to concern myself with it, everyone will forget eventually.
“So, why are you banging your head on the desk here?”
“I’m not banging my head, I’m bowing down to ask for your guidance. Yoshida, I heard you’re good at the piano, just as your appearance suggests.”
“…. What do you think I look like?”
Actually, a while ago, we just decided on the roles for the music festival. Apparently, we’re going to perform in a large hall in front of the entire school and invited guests, and no one volunteers as everyone feels reluctant.
As a result, we resorted to a lottery, and I, renowned for my bad luck, ended up drawing what they call a “hit,” which, in reality, was a miss.
Thus, I was assigned to perform a piano and violin duet with a male classmate. Having no experience with the piano, I rushed to Yoshida for help, and here I am now.
“How long have you been playing the piano, Yoshida?”
“Since I was a child, my older sister taught me.”
Alexia-san, whom I met during summer vacation, is the second daughter of the Yoshida family. I’m eager to meet the eldest sister too. When I asked about it, she casually responded, “You can just come over to the house.”
I was reaffirmed by this natural exchange that my friendship with Yoshida was deepening, and I decided to visit the Yoshida residence again soon. I like them.
“Sorry, but I’m also participating in the music festival. There will be a lot of joint practices, so I won’t have time to teach you.”
“N-No way…!”
That being said, there’s no helping it. Most importantly, I was actually looking forward to watching Yoshida play the piano.
Therese also admitted she’s not very good at playing musical instruments and practicing alone has its limitations. As I pondered what to do, a cheerful voice suddenly rang out in the classroom.
“Isn’t that your brother and Arnold-senpai over there?”
“Eh?”
Lifting my head at those words, I saw Julius and Arnold-san looking in our direction from the door.
At that moment, I recalled that my brother had witnessed me embracing Reinhardt earlier, and a cold sweat broke out. I convey to Yoshida that I’m looking forward to his performance at the music festival and head towards my brother.
Eventually, Julius, still wearing a smile, peered into my face as I lowered my head. His face is too beautiful to look at, and it feels strangely imposing.
“Rene-chan, I thought you weren’t in the classroom, but here you are, hanging out with yet another guy.”
“N-No… I, um, came to ask for Yoshida’s help with the piano for the music festival…”
After explaining the situation, Arnold-san, who was beside my brother, offered, saying, “I’ll teach you.”
“Piano is my specialty. Leave it to me.”
“… I think it’s better not to.”
While the offer is greatly appreciated, I can’t help but feel anxious as I recall the previous classes with Arnold-san like the lesson about earth magic or horseback riding.
Julius seemed to share the same feelings as he murmured that while tightly encircling my neck with his arms. Still, with no one else to ask for help, I decided to ask again, hoping that ‘third time’s the charm.’
“Arnold-san, I’m counting on you.”
“Yeah. Let’s do our best.”
His gentle and tender smile is dazzling once again today. I may not make much progress, but practicing with the gentle and kind Arnold-san will surely be a heartwarming and peaceful time.
“Hey, Rene-chan. You just said you’d change that part, right? Hmm, if you can’t remember it in your head, then you’ll have to remember it with your fingers. Let’s repeat just this part 100 times.”
“Ah… I’m sorry…”
“If you make a mistake, we’ll start counting from 1 again, okay?”
??I find myself nostalgic for the time when I had those thoughts, as I am now subjected to a Spartan-style coaching that feels like hell.
