Otome Game 14 PART 2

Even though it’s already a well-known fact.

There’s currently no one who doesn’t know that I’m my brother’s younger brother. Although it’s also true that Lydi might not know of it.

When I moved my eyes away from Welmina to Lidy, her eyes widened and she got stiff.

[Little brother…? The one with the Dreaming Illness…?]

[You know about that? Even though he’s still fighting it, the illness’ symptoms have subsided so Sheryl’s able to go to high school like this!]

[I, is that so…]

Lydi seems to be confused about something as she nodded.

SInce the cure hasn’t been found yet, she must have found it strange that I’m able to attend to school.

[Is there something else you want to ask?]

[That’s right… I think I want to hear about Rafael-sama.]

Hearing Rafael’s name from Lydi’s mouth shocked me.

It’s not really anything strange.

The country’s crown prince is in the same cla.s.s as her, there’s no way she doesn’t want to know about him.

I feel like I’ve been overreacting since a while ago.

It seems that Lydi’s appearance has led me to feel like I’m connected to the game world.

The world hasn’t changed.

As always, I should just do my best and think about what I can do.

It’s hard since there’s no clue on how to cure the Dreaming Illness, though.

Now that I think about it, the attackers’ ident.i.ty during Samuel’s funeral hasn’t been discovered yet.

Even though Camille apologized a lot of times, I don’t think he has any responsibilities in it.

Since Camille hadn’t been attacked after that so there’s not enough information, but I seem to have been the likely target.

Since I escaped immediately, it’s still unclear what the purpose of the kidnapping was.

The school ground is safe, and Bellom-sensei is keeping an eye out so I’m not worried.

Rafael is also keeping track of any information.

But I want to do something about him wanting me to initiate a kiss towards him once I express my grat.i.tude.

I still won’t do it myself, though!

While thinking about what I should do, I’m watching Welmina and Lydi in a short distance.

[Sheryl, let’s have lunch together.]

[I’m having lunch with Welmina and the others.]

[It’s fine, it’s fine! Sheryl should go together with His Highness!]

I was about to reject Rafael’s invitation but Welmina stopped me.

For me, even when I entered high school, I still plan on staying in the courtyard.

[Then shall we go? Although since Jule-senpai is in the Salon and I’d like to avoid him…]

Since I will need to part with him when my brother is around, Rafael doesn’t want to be in the same place as him.

But Rafael gathers eyes around him wherever he goes, and the Salon is the only place where he can eat his lunch because he doesn’t have any private place for himself, so he’ll have to compromise.

We’re moving while Camille pushes the wheelchair.

Sheryl-kun has a lunchbox, huh?]

[Yup. Speaking about it, what about you guys? The salon only has a room for boiling water, right?]

[Once we contact the kitchen, they will bring the menu over. We’ve always had Rafael-sama’s chef make it for us, though

.]

It took a while for Camille’s previous words to sink in before I realize, Rafael’s and the others’ status are completely different.

[If you want, I can also have Sheryl’s portion made.]

[I’m alright since it will take more time. Besides, Nicole’s ardor is also amazing.]

He said something about how happy he is that his master is able to eat his cooking.

There’s also a sense of security because I’ve always drunk water and fruit juice from his hand.

Once we arrived in front of the staircase, Rafael excitedly rolled up his sleeves.

[I’ve said this a lot of times but I can go up the stairs by myself, okay?]

[Since I’ve already practiced doing it, there should be no problem, right?]

You made me partic.i.p.ate in that so called practice, though.

I think it’s also good to climb the stairs with my own feet as a form of rehabilitation.

[Didn’t you let Serge do it before?] (TN: Middle school event has been dug up. Lol)

[There was no chance to refuse……. Just this once, okay?]

We practiced during the night in the courtyard a lot of times, there’s no need to feel nervous about being me being lifted  up.

It’s just really embarra.s.sing.

There are other people watching, too…

[I’ve always thought about it but, don’t you have any plans on increasing your meal?]

[The feeling to increase it is there, but I just become full really easily.]

Rafael talks about my weight as he carries me.

If I just pay attention to the Mana content of the food, it’s possible for me to eat a lot.

However, even if I was full, I still couldn’t get used to putting more food in my mouth.

[You are trying to increase your weight, right?]

[My height has increased, too! I’ve grown 3 centimeters since last year!!!]

[I, is that so…]

Despite it being little by little, it was a sign of hope for me.

It can take some time. I heard there are people who still grow even when they reach 20.

At least, I wish to be at least 170 centimeters as a man.
