83 Episode 1. Alex is an adult. (1/2)

'Happy coming of age, brother Alex!

Thank you.

Today is my brother Alex's birthday.

He's turning 16, he's an adult.

So I was talking to the man of the hour.

”A lot of people are gonna be here to celebrate, how are you feeling?

'Yeah - well, it's just for today, and it's a lot of work, but if you deal with each one of them individually, it'll be over one day.

'I see. ...... So that's how you think of it.'

I'll try to think of that the next time I attend a party .

'Or better yet, maybe Leo should be worrying about himself instead of worrying about others?

Worried about yourself?

What happened to me?

I was thinking of staying quiet on the edge today, trying to be inconspicuous?

Yeah, I'm sure Leo's busier today than I am.

I'm busier than you are!

Why?

Maybe Leo will be more popular at the party today than me?

Why?

You're the star of the show today, right?

You know what?　Leo's the center of attention among the nobility right now, you know?

Oh, really?

Come to think of it, I think Colt said something like that: .......

'Yes . Isn't it unheard of to be a viscount at that age?

Oh.

So that's what it's all about: ...... When you're envied .......

Aristocrats are so insidious, it's a pain in the ass~ .

'Well, you'll be surrounded by pretty girls, so good luck with that.

”Girl?

What do you mean?

At this time, I didn't understand what my brother meant: .......

A few hours later.

Would you like to have dinner with me sometime soon, Master Leo?

Leo-sama, would you like to have tea with me on your next day off?

Dear Leo: ......

Dear Leo: ......

Now it's literally surrounded by girls.

I've been doing this for a long time now .

I've been trying my best to keep a low profile. .......

It wasn't long before they saw me.

We're in trouble if they find us, and now we're surrounded and can't seem to get out.

Some of the girls told me straight up that I could be a side wife.

It's something: ......

I'm starting to feel sorry for these girls .

Because there's no way a girl my age would tell a stranger that she wants a stranger to be her side wife. .......

I'm sure she must be following her parents' orders to flirt with me.

I'm sure she's following her parent's orders to flirt with me.

I'd like to say that I'd like to, but I'm afraid I'm going to have a hard time putting Leena in a good mood if I don't do something about it.

Even now, she's staring at us from outside the circle.

That, I'm definitely pissed. .......

I promised yesterday that we'd stay together during the party. .......

As I was thinking about that, I saw Lina's eyes.

Huh?　I feel like I have tears in my eyes: .......

Yeah, I'd better get a move on.

I'm sorry, guys. It's my brother's birthday. You should go to your brother, not my place. I'll see you later.

Ah!

Wait.

Please don't go!

I pulled back on my head and got out of the girls.

I'm sorry for those girls. .......

But now is not the time.

”I'm sorry Lena. Please don't cry.

I'm not crying!

Leena turned away from me with a pout.

Oh my goodness, you are really angry: .......

I'm really sorry.

How can I forgive you? .......

'If you want me to change my mood, give me a hug.

Then Leena turned to me with a pout.

'Okay, ......, I'll see you later.

I'll do it as long as it's worth it.

So what's in it for me?

Now. Right here, please.

Hmm?

Here?　Um, what's wrong with you all of a sudden?

What's going on?　Doesn't seem like Lena, does it?

Just do it!

”Wow, okay. ......

Leena was so unhappy that I decided to give her a hug.

It's a little, no, I'm extremely embarrassed, but it's no use.

I heard a scream coming from somewhere.

Yeah, we're getting a lot of attention.

Geez, is this okay?

It hurts to see people looking at me, but I'll just have to reopen it now .

''Yes, now I can show them that Leo-kun is mine.

Oh, you were thinking about that?

Is Leena perhaps possessive?

Leena's arms are half as strong as the one she's holding right now: .......

It's going to be bad if he cheats on her: .......
