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 89
Translated by: ShinigamiTori
Chapter 89 ? Heroine and Heroine
“Alright, shall we go catch her? It’ll be troublesome if she escapes, right?”
“Y-Yes! Please do!”
“Lucky for us, the prince is off today.”
Dylan then heads straight toward Anna, who seems surprised to see me.
It seems the prince from another country whom Anna is targeting is off today, and there are only female students who appear to be her friends around.
“Alright, capture complete.”
“Eh? Dylan, what’s going on all of a sudden?”
Dylan firmly grabs Anna-san from behind, embracing her tightly with both arms. Because both of them are overflowing with sex appeal, it somehow creates a very adult-like scene.
Anna-san just laughs and says, “Oh, you!” without any sign of confusion. She’s on a different level of experience.
“Uh, I’m…”
“Wow! It’s Rene-chan! Amazing!”
Amidst all this, when I tried to speak, Anna-san’s big eyes sparkled and she took my hand.
Since her letter gave off a vibe like ‘I don’t want to get involved, so please stay away,’ I was puzzled by the unexpected reaction, which was different from what I had imagined. It’s adorable.
“Uh, I?”
“Wow! Your voice sounds just like the voice lines! So cute!”
“To be honest, there’s a lot to talk about.”
“Oh, how about lunch? Let’s eat together! Sorry, everyone, I’m going to eat with Rene-chan today!”
Without giving me a chance to speak, Anna-san continues talking and slips out of Dylan’s arms. Then, she said goodbye to the girls who seemed to be her friends and smoothly intertwined her arm with mine.
A surprisingly natural and sweet fragrance surrounds me, making my heart race. If she were of the opposite sex, I’d probably fall for her in an instant.
Meanwhile, I hurriedly turned around to face Yoshida and Cecil, and they both quickly grasped the situation.
“I’m grabbing a meal with Yoshida, so why don’t you two go talk?”
“… What am I even doing here?”
“I’ll join you.”
“Shut up, get lost.”
“Sorry, everyone! Thanks!”
Thanks to everyone’s help, I was able to meet Anna-san like this, and I can’t thank them enough. I have to make sure to express my gratitude to them later.
For now, it’s decided that we’ll talk while having lunch, so while still being led by Anna-san, I join the line with the other students to place our orders.
“At our school cafeteria, there are so many options to choose from, it’s hard to decide. Is Heartful Academy like this too?”
“Yeah! But I feel like here is more modern.”
Even though we’ve just met, there’s a familiarity to her that makes it feel like we’ve been friends for a long time. I felt an overwhelming aura of sunshine from Anna-san, just like Willy.
“You know, the hamburger is delicious! It tastes just like the ones from our original world’s most popular fast-food restaurant.”
“Really? I used to eat it twice a week at one point.”
“I can’t cook either, so I always had takeout after work. It’s refreshing to be able to talk like this.”
“I know.”
Once we ordered matching lunch sets, we sat down facing each other at the table in the far corner.
I want to keep our conversation discreet. However, Anna-san doesn’t seem to mind, though.
“Thank you for the food!”
“Thank you for the food.”
It feels like it’s been a long time since I’ve put my hands together before eating like this. Without realizing it, I’ve become quite accustomed to this world.
“Sorry for coming to see you so suddenly.”
“I was really surprised! … But you know, after sending the letter, I regretted it. I’m still scared of dying again, but Rene-chan must be scared too.”
From the words “die again,” I realize that she, too, has died and was reincarnated into this world.
“Sorry, Rene-chan.”
I wonder, ‘Did I die?’ Even if it was just a light sensation, if I have memories of my moment of death, it must have been a horrifying experience.
Yet, she’s so kind to think of me and apologize like this. She’s a kind girl.
“Ah, a rare item! That’s amazing, you’ve cleared the hidden dungeon that appears only when everyone’s favorability is high.”
Anna-san’s eyes lit up again as she looked at my hand.
Is she talking about the cursed ring that hasn’t left me since the training trip? Also, the phrase “when everyone’s favorability is high” catches my attention.
There are countless things I want to ask, but first, I want to know who the capture targets are. With this in mind, I open my mouth, feeling strangely nervous.
“I’m really clueless and I got thrust into this world so suddenly. That’s why I want you to tell me all about it.”
“Anna has completed the game many times and is extremely knowledgeable, so feel free to ask anything! Anna’s like a walking strategy guide.”
I looked into Anna-san’s sky-blue eyes, respecting her for being able to get through so much of this crappy game.
“Thank you! First, I’d like to know who the capture targets are.”
“Well, first is Prince Theodore, right? Then there’s Willy, Reinhardt, and my favorite, Arnold…”
“Yoshida??I mean, Maximilian Steiner, who was over there earlier, is he also a capture target?”
“Ah, I thought I recognized him, but he’s the prince’s friend, right? Then he’s not a capture target.”
“T-That’s a relief…”
While it was something I had anticipated, the idea of Willy and Reinhardt being capture targets still felt strange to me.
But I felt relieved that Yoshida wasn’t one of the targets. It seemed like there wouldn’t be a Yoshida route after all.
“Huh, are there only four of them?”
“Well, there are six in total. There’s also Julius and one hidden character.”
“…. Eh?”
In disbelief, I doubted my ears. After all, Julius is my brother, there’s no way that could be true.
“Is Julius Wainwright also a capture target?”
“Yeah? He’s almost as popular as the prince, and Anna’s friends really rooted for him.”
“B-But isn’t it weird since we’re siblings?”
Even though I thought it must have been some kind of mistake, my heart pounded loudly..
Seeing me like that, Anna-san said, “You’re weird, Rene-chan,” and smiled with a puzzled look on her face.
“You’re not related by blood, so it doesn’t matter, right? The stepbrother route is a staple in otome games.”
My mind went completely blank.
