Translated by: ShinigamiTori
Chapter 82 ? The Real-life Surroundings Are Too Enriching
A week had passed since the music festival.
After completing my Spartan-like training with Teacher Arnold, I spent my days studying intensely for the winter rank exam.
Today, as well, I had agreed to study with Reinhardt after school and arrived at the vacant classroom. Not finding him there yet, I decided to start on my own.
“Um, this magic formula doesn’t go well with fire magic, so…”
Compared to when I first came to this world and didn’t understand anything, I feel like I’ve grown considerably.
However, I’m still below average. I need to work even harder. As I earnestly tackled practice questions, I heard the door opening.
“Sorry I’m late, I got called away suddenly.”
I looked up and saw Reinhardt, who seemed to have come in a hurry.
He quickly took the seat next to me and said, “I’m really sorry,” peering anxiously into my face.
“It’s completely fine, don’t worry. Ah, could it be that the sudden call was a confession?”
“Yeah. I’d rather not reject someone and have them cry right there, so I’ve made up my mind to go if I’m called.”
“I-I see…!”
“Rene-chan, you like guys who are popular, don’t you?”
I do remember nodding in response to a question like that before. Nevertheless, as the real world becomes so fulfilling, Reinhardt suddenly seems like a distant existence.
Now that I think about it, when I went to visit Yoshida the other day, there was a mountain of sweets on his desk that I had only seen in manga and anime Valentine’s Day episodes.
Apparently, it was made by the female students in the class during their cooking class.
“Yoshida, you’re like the popular guy who’s a friend of the main character…”
“What are you talking about?”
Actually, everything about Yoshida is high-spec, and it seems that his popularity has increased even more than before.
However, the girls in Yoshida’s class are friendly towards me too, understanding that there’s a strong friendship between us.
Whenever I drop by in Yoshida’s absence, everyone casually includes me in their conversations. I appreciate it.
“Steiner-sama is really popular. It seems he even has fans from the neighboring class.”
“As expected of Yoshida, he’s such a nice person, isn’t he?”
“But initially, he was a bit difficult to approach. Especially to lower-ranked students.”
“Really?”
“Yes, he might have been a bit intimidating.”
And then suddenly, I remember the day I met Yoshida.
“Why do I have to teach an idiot like you?”
“The F-rank has no name worth mentioning.”
Certainly, Yoshida at the time was quite tough on me when I still wore the bright red F-rank brooch.
“But, after becoming friends with Rene-chan, he became much easier to talk to.”
“Mhmm, mhmm, his atmosphere became softer.”
“Y-Yoshida…!”
Those words slowly but surely warm my heart.
If being with me has made even a small change for the better, I couldn’t be happier.
However, if it turns out to be a misunderstanding, it would be embarrassing, so after Yoshida returned to the classroom, I casually greeted him with my usual light-hearted tone.
“I was just talking about Yoshida with the rest of your classmates. They said that Yoshida has become kinder thanks to me.”
“Maybe.”
“Eh?”
Yoshida’s casual answer gave my heart the most intense pounding of the century. Afterwards, I was moved and tried to hug him, but he hit me on the head with a notebook, but I still love him.
Recalling such things, I gazed at Reinhardt’s overly neat profile as he took out study materials from his bag, and I tilted my head and said, “Hmm.”
“But everyone is so popular, it’s amazing. I never get called out or anything.”
I was expecting a romantic event at the music festival, but it ended up just deepening the sibling relationship.
Incidentally, perhaps my prayers reached the heavens, for to my surprise, my classmate Yutte-chan ended up with a handsome B-rank senior from the year above as her seat partner.
They seem to have developed into a relationship where they sometimes have lunch together, and lately I can always see blooming flowers in her background.
I can only hope that things continue to go well.
“Rene-chan, haven’t you ever had anyone confess to you besides me?”
“Me…? Well, there was this one time during the sports festival when someone wanted to be friends. But it ended with them avoiding me.”
“Oh, yeah, there was a guy like that. I heard the rumors.”
At that time, I remember there were quite a few people in the cafeteria, and I was being teased. That’s why I thought it wouldn’t be strange for Reinhardt to hear about it.
“I found it bothersome, so I looked into it, but it seems Julius-sama had already taken care of it, so I was relieved.”
“…. What?”
With too many ominous words, I didn’t know where to start asking. Where in the world did my brother come from?
Reinhardt didn’t provide any more information, so I decided to ask Julius for details after I got home and resumed studying.
