Who Said This Was an Otome Game!

Chapter 14.2

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 Lydi, 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 class 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' identity 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 gratitude.

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.
