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 86
Translated by: ShinigamiTori
Chapter 86 ? To Perfect Academy 1
I didn’t expect to run into Cecil within one second of sneaking into Perfect Academy, so much so that I broke out in a cold sweat.
If he finds out it’s me, I’ll definitely be scolded to death.
Considering the number of students, I had assumed that the chances of meeting the only person I knew would be quite small. Yet, the idea of me infiltrating by borrowing a uniform was something I never thought possible.
“You…”
Even so, he was staring at me so intently that I started to get nervous, thinking that things might get really bad.
“…”
For some reason, Cecil blushed and turned his face away. I wondered what was wrong, but soon realized.
Cecil, the arrogant tsundere pure-hearted boy, had feelings for Rene from the start. It must be that he’s simply shy around girls who fit his preferred type.
To avoid being awkwardly noticed or later sought after, and to quickly leave this situation, I decided to execute a plan I came up with in two seconds.
“O-Oh no, Da-kun, I’m sorry!”
“Huh? Da…?”
“I-I accidentally got close to other boys besides Da-kun, but I didn’t do it on purpose…! Please forgive me?”
“…”
I let out a spoiled whiny voice and entwined my arm with Yoshida’s. My current character is the complete opposite of my usual self, and since I have a ‘boyfriend’, I’m sure Cecil won’t doubt or harbor any romantic feelings.
Although Yoshida gave me a contemptuous look, as if he were looking at trash, I kept telling myself that I was an actress and kept smiling.
“I’m so sorry! See you later!”
With that, I turned my back to Cecil, forcefully dragging Yoshida along, and managed to leave the scene.
I continued forward haphazardly, turned a corner in the hallway, and when Cecil’s figure was no longer visible, I let go of Yoshida’s arm and exhaled.
“Sorry, Da-kun. That was my cousin…”
“Alright, just stop calling me that.”
The nickname “Da-kun” I impulsively came up with seemed to be disliked.
Anyway, I’m determined to be careful with Cecil from now on and move to the first-period classroom based on the note Melanie-chan gave me.
Since it appeared to be a class on magic history, I figured I could just listen and settle into the seat at the farthest corner.
“I don’t see anyone who looks like Anna-san.”
Despite the large auditorium with dozens of students, I couldn’t find Anna-san with her peach-colored hair. She probably isn’t attending this class.
The content of the classes seems to be different from Heartful Academy, and Yoshida, who is sitting next to me, is flipping through his textbook with interest.
Yoshida’s immaculate appearance was evidently causing nearby female students to focus their attention on him.
“… As expected, having an ally is really convenient.”
Resting my cheek on my hand and placing the pen on my lips, I reconsidered the plan for the rest of the day. If Anna-san and I don’t have any overlapping classes, the lunch break will be crucial.
I thought about how things would be easier if I had an ally among the students at this school who knew Anna-san’s behavioral patterns.
“?Mind if I sit here?”
“Oh, sure! Go ahead.”
I responded reflexively and dropped my pen when I saw the face of the student who casually sat down next to me.
Somehow, a stunningly attractive guy had taken the seat next to me.
Short silver hair, and long, shapely eyes gleaming golden like the sun. His tan skin suits him incredibly well. He definitely didn’t seem like an ordinary person.
Having been a devoted otome gamer for years, and with the intuition of a heroine, I was convinced he was undoubtedly one of the capture targets.
Even in Perfect Academy, the setting for the sequel, there are multiple capture targets, including Cecil.
Deciding there was undoubtedly nothing good that would come from getting involved, I flipped through my textbook and made an effort to appear concentrated.
Meanwhile, the tan handsome guy rummaged through his bag and muttered, “Oops.” I have a bad feeling about this.
“Sorry, can I see your textbook?”
“Ah, sure…”
“Thanks.”
Contrary to his flashy and flamboyant appearance, he seemed to have a serious personality. Regretting judging him based on his appearance, I hesitantly offered the textbook, realizing there was no helping what he had forgotten.
In fact, there was no need for me to learn anything today, so I boldly placed the textbook in front of him and the handsome man chuckled softly. Then, he flips through the textbook and eventually stops.
“Is this Melanie Walsh’s textbook?”
“Eh?”
“It’s strange because she’s taking this class too.”
Although I had confirmed that there was no name written in the textbook, I broke into a cold sweat as the handsome guy pointed to a certain page.
“…!?”
To my surprise, there was a doodle of Ben-kun and Melanie-chan sharing an umbrella with hearts floating around them.
Melanie-chan’s maiden-like behavior is adorable, but it’s too disastrous. If I get caught here, treated as a suspicious person, and kicked out, it’ll be a lose-lose situation.
Desperately, I racked my brain and spewed out a hasty lie.
“Uh, I-I’m just someone secretly cheering for their love…”
“Hmm? That’s a weird hobby.”
Receiving a nonchalant response, I sighed in relief, thinking he miraculously understood. However, the handsome guy continued, “By the way…”
“You’re not a student here, are you? I don’t forget a girl with your appearance once I see it. What are you up to?”
Uttering those words with a smile, he leaned his cheek on his hand, swaying the large earring in his ear, and tilted his head.
