Outaishihi ni Nante Naritakunai!!

"Ah? Oh, it's true. He's already back."

"Already?"

My brother's words snap around. Whether still hurts or not, my brother-in-law said as he looked at Glenn.

"He said he had a date this morning, and he was going to climb the castle this afternoon. I heard it yesterday."

"Oh, the one Will was saying?

I thought it might be too early to work today or something yesterday, but my brother shook his head.

"No... you asked Will? You."

"Yeah. That was the one yesterday. I've got a lot of files. Will said it was for Glenn's pageant."

"Right...... Then we talk fast. But this time, Will's guy isn't involved. Sounds like his dad suddenly brought it here."

"Heh..."

"Well, even when it comes to matchmaking, it seems I'm just showing my face today. We'll have a formal meeting later."

"What? Why did that happen again?

Why couldn't it be a face-to-face equals match? Twisting his neck, his brother wore a bold head.

"Glenn's one, because I failed last time. My father, the Duke of Pegegrini, told me that it would be difficult for us to do the same thing again, so that we could meet each other first and see if we were willing to make a pageant."

"Wow, that stinks."

"Really Nah."

My brother and I were talking awfully, and you noticed this one. Glenn smiled and came.

"Liddy to Alec. You both look as close as ever. What the hell were you talking about?

"Oh, that's not a big deal. You're the one who's been seeing each other."

"Hey, brother!

I just thought it was too much to say, but where was the wind blowing my brother?

"It's good, nothing. I don't like it."

"Oh, yeah."

That is certainly true.

Glenn grinned bitterly at me, who somehow convinced me, and my brother, who just said, "What do you think?

"Really, you're close or something like that, brothers and sisters. You guys."

"Similar!

Their voices humbled at the same time.

They stare at each other. My brother pointed at me dissatisfied.

"What makes me look like this troublemaker?"

"Always do whatever you want, whatever you want. Don't leave me alone with my brother!

"... that's why I'm saying they look alike"

Glenn with a subtle face. Then I opened my mouth to re-compartmentalize.

"Shall we stop this topic?"

"... do that"

Following my flashy brother, I snort, too.

Glenn returned to the conversation well, saying he understood.

"Speaking of which, you said you were talking about me earlier."

"Oh. Pageant...... was it face-to-face? You've been, haven't you?

Glenn returns his affirmation to the words of his brother, who continues to stare at me.

"That's right. It's not official yet, but I've met with your opponent."

"Heh."

If you're interested, me and my brother turn to Glenn.

Because the timing was with me, I shook Glenn's shoulder only for a moment when he couldn't stand it.

... What's wrong?

You realize my brother and I are upset, Glenn apologizes... but my voice contained laughter.

"Shh, excuse me. Anyway, that's the thing. I came back here after business. I don't want to work overtime if possible."

"Yeah. It's still early, but did it work?

A casual brother's word. But Glenn laid his eyes on the words.

"No...... Probably won't even make the pageant."

"Huh? Not again. Did you say no?

"No, I don't care who I am. Just one condition, if you will. That seems unacceptable."

"Conditions?"

My brother frowned and looked like he noticed something all the time. Grab Glenn's arm and take him a little further away from me. I said softly.

"Oh, could..."

"That's Alec. You understand very well. Exactly."

My brother turned to Glenn, who affirmed with a grin and a smile.

"... are you serious. Well, they say no to matchmaking."

"I can't just give in to this condition. Conversely, if you could swallow this, I would marry anyone."

"... I see. I don't want a woman who's seriously in love with you to hear it."

Ha, and his brother, who dropped his shoulder, said, "You are the similiar brothers," and came back here with his shoulders clasped.

"Brother?"

"No, nothing. Well, the pageant's gonna fail, and I'm just saying it was a story."

"Hmm?"

I wasn't sure, but I nodded appropriately.

Glenn says he's back with his brother.

"Alec, you don't have to tell Liddy anything. That's what Fried knows."

It was my brother who was surprised by the words.

"What? Seriously? Is that good?"

"Yeah, because it's already over. Besides, your sister wouldn't be the kind of person who tells someone people's secrets without meaning, would she?

"That's right..."

My brother looks like he's in trouble. Glenn said to me with a gentle grin.

"I'm sorry I keep talking about things that don't make sense. I didn't mean to scorn you."

"Huh? I don't care..."

In fact, when I told him that because I didn't care at all, Glenn lowered his head small as he said, "Thank you."

"I was just talking about it, but I actually have someone who has been thinking about it for a long time. Even if we get married, we're not going to be able to forget about him. If you're going to convince me of that, I told the matchmaker that I'm going to marry him. That's all I'm talking about when they say no."

"... what?

I was stunned when I heard the words spoken lightly.

Huh? I mean, what? Married doesn't make me like you. Still, if you don't mind, I'll marry you... so that's what you said to the other lady?

That would turn me down!

I know you won't love me from the start, and even if it's a political ploy, there's no way I can snort.

Even when it comes to political marriage, it's something that we're going to walk over and become a couple.

Glenn's words were extreme in denying it from the edge.

"Huh? That's awful, isn't it?

I nodded silently to my brother, who looked like he had chewed up a bitter bug.

Awful, too harsh.

Even the old me, who thought anyone was fine if he wasn't royal, is a case of politely declining.

Glenn continues, flashing at me.

"That said, as far as I'm concerned, I can't give up any more. I understand you can't make the choice not to marry, and I think it's too dishonest for the other person to marry in silence. I hope I can at least marry someone who understands my current situation"

"... then you won't marry the person you like?

"I can't. Because you're in too high a place. It's enough to wish her happiness. I don't want anything disproportionate."

Glenn to tell you exactly.

But I thought.

Glenn, too, is the second son of the Duke of Pegegrini family. But even if the king had a daughter, for example, he was a family member at a level where he could be demobilized if only a few conditions were in place.

I mean, if it's just family, it's really more tricky. Of course, it's not very good to hear outside in the lower personality, and I don't think the strict Duke of Pegegrini will allow it, but I don't think it means it can't be up there.

……

"Nah, I'm thinking about it. You."

My brother called out to me thinking who Glenn's favorite person would be.

Soon Glenn is gone. Apparently he went back to the Knights while I was stuck thinking.

I asked my brother.

"Hey, brother"

"Ah? What?"

"You know, Glenn's fondness doesn't mean you're my mother-in-law or anything, right?

"You..."

I heard it quite seriously, but it was a frightening voice to be back. I get my head pounded.

"There's no way. Damn, why did you get such an answer..."

"Ugh, because..."

Apparently not. But there's nothing else about love that doesn't come true in the Duke's second son...

"Ah..."

One thing, I've come up with a tremendous answer.

And one more chain from there.

"Shh..."

Impossible. But maybe it is.

That wasn't what happened. That's what I meant.

'Cause he said it, too. Well, then the twitch fits.

So at that time, that guy did oh...

"Liddy?"

My brother stares surprised at me for stopping the move.

I shook my head saying it was nothing.

"It's okay. Because I just remembered some errands. Uh, ah, brother, see you later! Good luck with your work!

"Ooh? Oh, hey, Liddy."

I manage to laugh in my face and walk away from my brother.

I hurried back to my room.

My head was full of possibilities that I had just come up with.

"... this might work"

Enter the room and exhale alone. My heart was making loud noises when I was blind.

I will calm my feelings and try to reassemble the conclusions I have just drawn from the beginning again.

"Yeah...... maybe, definitely"

I grabbed my fist.

That and this and all. Maybe it'll work.

Although Fried's cooperation is essential to that.

"Talk to Fried first, then..."

Think hard about future scenarios.

Maybe my behavior is an extra favor after all, maybe nothing will change in the end, but I don't want to give up without trying.

In the meantime, I thought I'd try my best to get to the end.
