Chapter 15 Part1 (2/2)

In my arms, Sheryl slightly takes off his eyes.

There’s no hesitation when the words came out from his mouth.

[I want to properly face this, and give Rafael my reply. Big Brother’s worries, I also have my thought about it. But right now, I want to properly face Rafael’s feelings.]

[I see… then there’s nothing else I can say about it.]

[Big Brother?]

He probably wasn’t expecting me to give in so easily, I laughed at Sheryl who looked at me with his widened big eyes.

[If Sheryl is this determined, since it’s you, you must have worried about it more than I did, right? That’s why I won’t say any more. And I also don’t want you to hate me.]

[There’s no way I will hate my big brother.]

[If that’s what you think then good. Yosh, let’s sleep just like this!]

[Uwaaah?!]

After speaking, I fell on my back while holding Sheryl.

In the past, I used to worry that an activity like this might affect his body.

But it’s different now that he’s overcome the Dreaming Illness.

We’re changing…. I’m growing up, and so is Sheryl. To the point that I can’t keep pulling his hands.

When I thought so, sorrow is surfacing.

[Sheryl, I will be your Big Brother forever, got it?]

[Shouldn’t that be natural…?]

I still don’t know what answer Sheryl will come up with.

However, no matter what happens, I decided that Sheryl’s existence won’t change in my heart.

(SHERYL’S POV)

I was also surprised about the topic Big Brother mentioned, but when I think about how much he’s worried about me, I feel thankful.

I don’t know where he heard about Raphael and me, but he probably heard the majority of it from Nicole.

It seems an event is regularly happening in places I don’t know, and the number of times Lydi’s name comes out from everyone’s mouth increases each day.

Welmina is also getting along well with Lydi, and although we also often meet, but the number of times we talk isn’t much.

…..I don’t feel like I’m being avoided, though.

But I can’t think of a reason.

While I wasn’t aware of it, did I perhaps do something that has hurt Lydi?

[Ah!]

As we were advancing through the hallway, Welmina raised her voice.

At the end of our sight, Schpudreine together with the usual two girls with her talking to Lydi about something.

Are they perhaps talking about mental preparations for n.o.bles?

[Schpudreine-sama sure doesn’t get tired of it. Even though she’s just a fiance “candidate”.]

[It’s not that I don’t understand where she’s coming from, though….]

It’s true that there are cla.s.ses among the aristocrats.

But it’s not that easy to work on human relations.h.i.+ps alone. But before I run out of reasons, Rafael will have probably caught me.

[Is it about Rafael and the others?]

[Most probably. They’ve been getting along well lately after all.]

So they’re getting along with each other…

If the event is going according to the game, then it might be so. Since it’s a game to fall in love with the capture targets.

Is it because I know where it’s heading, the inside of my heart feels murky.

Even though the ones who will give their reply will be them, there shouldn’t be a need for me to care about it.

[They seem about to finish their talk.]

Schpudreine didn’t seem to change the location like she did with me.

Lydi who was about to leave the place with her head down, noticed us.

She immediately ran towards Welmina.

[Will!]

[Lydi, are you okay?]

[Yeah! I just got warned.]

[Are they planning to join the Public Morals Committee or something? Sheryl-kun has also been called out by them.]

[He, did….?]

As I thought, Lydi becomes awkward when the topic is me.

Even though we’ve only had bland conversations, I wonder what I did bad to Lydi?

I thought of asking her personally, but when I look at Lydi who doesn’t want to meet eyes with me, it makes my inquiring feelings go sour.

[Hey, Will. Where’s could Camille-kun possibly be right now?]

[SInce he got called by the teacher earlier, he’s probably in the staff room.]

[I see, thank you! See you later!]

She probably needs Camille for something so she asked Welmina his whereabouts and hastily ran.

As I was watching the hurrying Lydi’s back, Welmina called out.

[Sheryl-kun, did something happen with Lydi?]

[Hmmm, I also don’t have any idea.]

Welmina has apparently also noticed the difference in Lydi’s att.i.tude.

I’ve never met with Lydi except when I’m with Welmina, and Welmina who knows about all our conversation tilted her head.

[I wonder what’s wrong? It can’t be…. LOVE?!] (TN: h.e.l.l NO!)

[I don’t think so.]
