The Hero’s Brother Is Bound To Be Depressed

6 – Going Out

After the afternoon class at Ellie’s request, I headed to the 2nd grade classroom.

Roel, who was listening to the story with a soft smile while being surrounded by the heroines, saw me walking around in front of the door, asked for an understanding of the surroundings, and approached me.

“Is something wrong, Ross?”

Maybe something happened. She felt a little different emotion rather than inferiority feeling at Roel’s concern.

Is this what an older brother is like? ?

I was born as an only child, so it was an emotion I had never experienced before. He was told that he usually fights a lot with younger siblings and doesn’t get along.

Perhaps the gap in skill was so great, and because of Roel’s personality, he wouldn’t even try to beat her younger brother.

I wondered if Ross, who noticed that Roel was about to lose even if she competed, thought that he sympathized with her, and the quarrel or fight disappeared.

No matter how hard he tried, Ross had never truly beaten his brother, and he never would.

What Roel does in a year is a month for Roel. No, in a week at the earliest, you can catch up with Ross’ efforts as easily as opening a chocolate wrapper.

I tried to masturbate that anyone would feel inferior to Roel’s brilliant talent, who made his efforts go to waste.

“Nothing happened…. I was wondering if there was time to go out together on the weekend.”

Was it an unexpected proposal? Roel’s eyes widened in surprise, then he smiled and put a hand on my shoulder.

“Of course I do. It’s a monumental first outing at the academy, and we should go together. Do you want something to eat? There are so many delicious shops in the capital. I’m sure you will like the capital too.”

“It’s my first time, so I don’t know, so I’ll go to the place my brother recommended. Oh, Ellie will go with you, is that okay?”

It seemed that he remembered it only then. Let’s talk about Ellie later. At that, Roel smiled even deeper and tapped him on the shoulder.

“Of course it’s fine. Are the three musketeers in the neighborhood reuniting after a year? Let’s find out the most delicious restaurant in the capital.”

For some reason, the feeling of inferiority soared in my heart again at the sight of Roel smiling joyfully without any sign of bother.

What else do you feel inferior to this time? A great smile that goes well with a good-looking face? Or, not being annoyed at your younger brother who has to deal with trouble every time and always treating him like a friendly older brother?

Thinking that way, my inferiority complex soon turned into a sense of shame. Feeling inferior to each and every thing that is not a big deal. In fact, I thought it might be because I have a narrower mind than others.

At this rate, in addition to a nervous breakdown, will paranoia come? I tried to ignore the feeling of self-doubt that hurriedly filled my head.

“Then, assuming you’re going out on the weekend, I’ll tell Ellie in advance.”

“Yes, I am looking forward to it. I will be the best guide in the capital for that day.”

Seeing Roel say that in a playful voice, I couldn’t help but nod my head with a slight smile.

After repeating boring classes, eating alone, running around the dormitory for physical training, and falling asleep, the weekend became the promised weekend.

Is it because she has prepared everything in order to impress Roel? Ellie’s appearance with light makeup is twice as beautiful as usual. She couldn’t take her eyes off it.

“How is it? Her friends said it was a popular makeup look these days….”

I wonder if you felt my eyes staring blankly at you. Seeing Ellie’s shy and shy question, I quickly nodded her head and responded immediately.

“It’s pretty, it suits you very well.”

“Huh~? Didn’t she look pretty before that?”

Embarrassed by Ellie’s mischievous words in her mischievous voice, slightly narrowing her eyes, I excused myself with gibberish.

“No, she’s pretty, but before that, of course I thought she was pretty. Really. Oh, today, I mean, I just said you’re prettier than usual.”

“I said it as a joke, why are you so embarrassed~? I don’t think it’s that bad before putting on makeup… ? Pooh, okay. I’ll stop kidding.”

Maybe you really think so. Embarrassed, let’s harden our expression. Ellie put a mischievous smile on my face, and only then did she stop playing.

When I was breathing a sigh of relief that it was a joke, not a misunderstanding. Ellie, who teased me with her hand on my shoulder and her playful face, instinctively realized that Roel had arrived.

“Did everyone come out quickly? I didn’t expect it to come out this quickly. Surely, it was your first visit to the capital, so you couldn’t sleep because of excitement?”

I was a little taken aback by Roel’s playful words. In fact, she has a nervous breakdown at the thought of spending the weekend with Ellie. She’s not alone with the girl she has a crush on, but maybe it’s because she’s excited about the idea of dating. As Roel said, she was a little tired because she couldn’t sleep until late at night.

“Right. I was so excited that I couldn’t sleep until late.”

She smiled a little at the figure of Ellie, who naturally took her place to the left of Roel, and removed Roel’s heavy arm from her shoulder.

“I look forward to seeing how delicious you will buy me.”

After saying that, Roel smiled and stretched out her chest.

“Don’t worry. I got a shop recommendation from Flavia, so it must be solid information. Flavia has a classy mouth.”

Well, if it’s recommended by Flavia, who has the characteristic of being a ‘gourmet’, it’s trustworthy.

We exited the academy with light steps of anticipation.

*

It was almost enough to say that the meal was excellent. The right size steak was magically treated and the freshness was amazing, and the scent of the melted butter on the meat until it came up to the table delighted my senses from the smell.

Befitting the best restaurant in the city chosen by the character of ‘gourmet’, not only the steak, but also the pasta Ellie ordered looked quite delicious.

I wonder if it was because only Roel and I ate steak. Roel went on to ask Ellie if she could just eat her pasta.

“Yes! Are you okay. Originally, the first time was to eat pasta.”

Roel, who didn’t understand the meaning, took it as her first outing, but since I knew what Ellie was saying meant a first date, it was the reason her appetite plummeted.

When you are eating dessert after a meal. While Roel was away for a while. Ellie said to me with her eyes shining.

“Ross, I have a favor to ask you.”

Ellie’s voice is always nice to hear, but why do I feel uneasy today?

“What… ?”

“I can move around a little bit so that Roel oppa and I can be alone… ? There’s something I want to say just the two of us…. If you do me a favor, I’ll buy you something really delicious next time.”

I was reluctant to see Ellie saying that with an apologetic expression and even talking about a sure reward that I couldn’t refuse, but she nodded her head.

Roel returned after paying for the food and sat down. I got up from my seat as if I was sorry.

“There is a place I wanted to see separately, so I will wake up first. The meal was delicious.”

“Huh? Shall we go together?”

As if looking at Ellie and wanting to follow me, I hurriedly stopped her by putting her hand on Roel’s shoulder as she was about to get up from her seat.

“It’s okay. Because going alone is enough. Have fun together Sorry Ellie, I’ll wake up first.”

“Ugh, I can’t help it… ! Looks like Ross needs some alone time, so let’s hang out together today!”

As quick-witted Ellie agreed, Roel put on a sad expression.

“I also know your favorite chocolate shop!”

“… Do you pack it?”

Answering bluntly, let’s take our hands off her shoulders. Roel smiled.

“Oh, is that so? Ellie, do you still like chocolate?”

“Yeah, sure~? I really like it.”

Ellie clearly hates sweet food. Why does Roel misunderstand that she likes chocolate?

Feeling her doubt, I said goodbye to Roel and Ellie and left the restaurant.

I don’t have any friends, and I didn’t have any specific plans. She wandered the streets and looked around a bit before returning to the academy.

When she was walking on campus. Despite being ridiculed by those around her, she bumped into a woman who was walking confidently.

Rosalind, with her pink hair and big breasts, she wore a mustache that didn’t match her for some reason.

Looking at that, I don’t think he took my lie seriously. I stopped Rosalyn from passing me.

“Senior Rosalyn.”

Rosalyn, who had passed me by the sound of her voice calling her, greeted me with surprised eyes as if she hadn’t really recognized me.

“Ross! Sorry, I couldn’t say hello because I was thinking about something else for a while.”

Rosalyn, who was embarrassed to touch her nose, touched her mustache, and she removed her hand in amazement. Seeing that, I couldn’t help but sigh.

Rosalyn was the heroine whom I gave the most affection to. If the heroines around Roel had high positions like the princess, princess, or count. Rosalind was a commoner like Roel. That’s why Rosalind feels inferior.

At least she wants to be evaluated as knowing Roel better than the women around her. She developed a habit of recording things related to Roel so as not to forget them, and she became the heroine of a weak yandere position.

She’s probably the Chief Alchemist, so maybe she found some drug with the side effect of growing her mustache? Maybe you made it yourself.

Although she is ridiculed by those around her, she wears a mustache that doesn’t match the words that Roel likes. Rosalyn’s appearance made me feel guilty.

Sense of guilt that I seemed to have taken advantage of my liking for others, I quickly organized what I was going to say in my head.

“What is that mustache?”

“Ah! It must be a side effect of the experiment~ I was surprised that her mustache suddenly grew. I’m deliberately leaving it there for the record and watching.”

At the sight of Rosalyn lying calmly, I burst into laughter.

“Rosalyn doesn’t like her mustache.”

“Al, I know! As a side effect of the experiment… !”

“Just because Roel likes girls with mustaches doesn’t mean he does?”

Let’s cut her off and ask. Rosalyn bit her lip in resentment and glared at me.

When I read her gaze as if she knew but asked why, I felt bittersweet for not knowing why. Rosalyn’s willingness to do anything for the one she loves made her feel like a stranger.

“Do you know why her brother likes Rosalyn?”

Is it because the novel depicts a lot of facial expressions? As for Rosalyn, the change in her expression was truly varied.

I thought Rosalyn’s face, which had an expression of resentment at my sudden words, in an instant turned into a surprised face as if she had been covered with ice water.

“I, I told you that you like me… ?”

Looking at Rosalyn, who opened her eyes wide and pursed her lips with an expectant expression, Roel decided to listen to her words later himself in advance.

It was cute, but more than that, it was a visceral feeling that her guilt over her lies was about to trigger a nervous breakdown.

In fact, the Department of Pensions was the most budget-consuming department in the academy. Even if you graduate from the academy, it is true that you need a lot of budget, so it was also the department with the fewest number of commoners without money.

However, Rosalyn proudly occupied the top position of the pension department with her brilliant talent, which caused unripe jealousy, and she was ostracized as a commoner and had few friends in the pension department.

She also had no interest in makeup or clothes that were popular among monastic girls.

That’s why people who usually live in cheap clothes and sloppy makeup look many times more radiant than usual when they dress up on a special day like a prom.

When Roel sees Rosalyn shining at her prom, he feels a different charm to her and she makes love to her that night. These were the words Roel said to her Rosalyn, thinking that Rosalind liked the way she decorated herself.

“Always the way it is. She said that she likes Rosalyn because she is familiar and comfortable with her innocence without being swept away by what others say.”

She said if Roel had told Rosalyn beforehand that nothing would change much, she said.

Well, the problem is that she is less moved when she hears these words from Roel herself.

Rosalyn, her face dyed red to match her pink hair, wiggled her fingers and opened her mouth.

“That, I see. Roel likes me more than usual….”

“So get rid of her mustache, which doesn’t suit her, right away. Even if it’s not like that, Rosalyn is enough. Oh, and don’t tell her brother that I said this. She doesn’t want to be misunderstood for talking behind her back in the absence of hyung….”

There’s no way that Roel talked about her own complicated relationship with a woman to Ross, who only has a crush on Ellie. If she said that, she would hear ‘Are you bragging about having a lot of women in front of me?’

She’d better keep Rosalyn’s mouth shut, in case she knew I was aware of feelings she hadn’t even told her about, so she’d surely be suspicious or misunderstood.

Her biggest fear was that her lie that she actually liked hairy girls would be revealed.

“Of course not! I will never tell you! It’s a secret! It’s a secret! And thank you for today’s work. I will definitely repay you!”

Seeing Rosalyn’s bright smile, I couldn’t hold back her laughter.

“Pooh-up.”

A beautiful woman wears a mustache that doesn’t suit her and smiles like that. How can I stop laughing

Rosalynn, puzzled by my laughter, felt ashamed when she realized that my gaze was lingering on her moustache.

Without a word, she turned her body around and ran towards the boarding house of the Ministry of Pensions as if running away.

Seeing that figure, for the first time since I possessed Ross, I was able to genuinely smile with joy.
