Translated by: ShinigamiTori
Chapter 94 ─ Night at Elepalis
“Alright, I think I’ll go back to my room now. I’ll be waiting in the capital, so let’s have lots of fun on the last day!”
“Okay. Take care on your way back.”
Just as I was about to leave Julius, who was patting my head, and return to my room, I was suddenly pulled back by the arm and hugged again.
“… Julius?”
“I don’t like the idea of Rene being out of my sight.”
“You’re heavy.”
“I need to make sure only I can see you soon.”
Once again, after being told such a terrifying thing with a smile, I quipped, “You’re a handful,” feeling somewhat reassured that he was still his usual self as I returned to the room where Yoshida and Willy were waiting.
Upon hearing that Julius was in the opposite room, Willy commented, “Your brother, he’s just something else, isn’t he?”
Despite everything that’s happened, it seems like my relationship with Julius will remain unchanged, and I feel relieved all over again.
“The food was so delicious! I want to eat that fresh meat-like thing again right now. Ah, I got to take a shower first.”
“It’s amazing that you can say that with a straight face.”
Having had a delightful dinner with Yoshida and Willy, I took advantage of the shower in the room, then settled onto the sofa, leisurely scanning through a magazine.
Next, Willy took a shower and, perhaps feeling sleepy from his full stomach, fell asleep without drying his hair.
I didn’t want him to catch a cold, so I took extra care to dry him with wind magic, but unfortunately, my magic skills were so poor that his hair ended up standing straight, resembling that of a warrior tribe. Please forgive me.
Exiting the shower room while drinking milk, Yoshida lost control when he saw Willy in such a state and ended up spewing milk all over him, and I got severely scolded by Willy.
“Okay, I’ll turn off the lights.”
“Yeah.”
“Oh, Yoshida takes off his glasses when he sleeps, too.”
“Why did you think I wouldn’t?”
After getting ready for bed amidst all that, Yoshida and I got into bed side by side. Yoshida seemed to be quite tired from the exhausting mission of infiltrating another school, and he looked sleepy from a while ago.
It’s hard to believe it’s only been two days since coming to Elepalis. It feels like we’ve already spent an intense time here.
“… I felt like there were so many things I didn’t know. About my family, and about myself.”
I mutter softly as I cover myself up to my neck with the blanket.
While I was aware of my ignorance about this world, not knowing what exactly I didn’t know made me realize that there is still so much more I’m unaware of than I thought.
Though there’s no response, I continue, feeling that Yoshida, who’s beside me, is listening attentively.
“I think finding out that Julius isn’t biologically related to me was a shock. I understand there must be a reason, but I also felt a little sad that it was kept hidden.”
For me, who had no family in my previous life, having a blood-related brother meant a lot to me.
That being said, I understand that what’s important for a family isn’t blood ties, but rather emotional bonds.
Above all, I also lie about having amnesia and hide a lot of things. I knew it was a terribly selfish feeling.
“Obviously. If I found out I wasn’t blood-related to my family, I wouldn’t be able to stay calm either. Frankly, I was even impressed by how you kept on behaving cheerfully.”
“Yoshida…”
“But even from an outsider like me, it’s clear that your brother cares about you deeply. You should only let those feelings out here.”
I was touched by Yoshida’s kindness when he said, “I’ll listen to you as much as you want.” Yoshida is not only thinking about me but also about Julius, who isn’t here.
I thought it was a good thing that I became friends with Yoshida after all, and when I said, “Thank you very much,” he simply replied, “Yeah.”
“After talking to Yoshida, I feel much better. Everything’s okay now!”
“I see.”
“Thank you so much. Would you consider becoming part of my family in the future?”
“No, thank you.”
With that confession of love to Yoshida, I slipped under the covers and fell asleep with a somewhat serene feeling.
◇◇◇
The next day, the three of us toured Elepalis in the morning, then I bought some souvenirs for Julius, and we returned to the capital through the Gate.
“Yoshida, Willy, thank you so, so much!”
After getting off the carriage in front of the Wainwright’s residence, I took their hands again and expressed my gratitude once more.
“I’ll definitely reach S-rank and become an amazing person who can provide for both of you in the future!”
“You’re aiming quite high.”
“I’ll wait without expecting too much.”
I waved goodbye until the carriage was out of sight, then entered the mansion and immediately ran into Jenny.
“Oh my, Sister. It’s quite improper to be going on overnight stays with men day after day right at the beginning of the autumn break, isn’t it?”
It seemed she had seen me parting ways with Yoshida and Willy, as she looked at me with a mixture of surprise and disdain.
Seeing Jenny with her long hair in a ponytail, I suddenly recall being tripped by her and her clique during the sports festival and being insulted.
“You’re just a commoner’s daughter. How repulsive.”
──At that time, I thought it was strange that Jenny was saying bad things about Julius, whom she loves, but in reality, it was only because we have different mothers.
Even if I were to look into my family, I doubt the servants would tell me everything, and it’s understandably difficult to ask my father.
Thinking that, I gazed fixedly at Jenny.
“Hey, Jenny. Would you like to have tea for a bit?”
“Huh? Are you suddenly planning to poison me or something?”
“Come on, I’m not like Jenny, so I won’t do something like that. I just have a few things I want to ask.”
Jenny’s personality is unbelievably bad, but judging from her past remarks, it doesn’t seem like she’s trying to hide anything about our family relationship.
Hence, I asked her if she could tell me about it on the off chance.
“… Fine. Come to my room in 30 minutes.”
“Eh?”
Unexpectedly, I was given the OK, so feeling perplexed, I went back to my room, changed clothes, tidied up, and then headed to Jenny’s room for the first time.
