Breaking Off The Engagement… Bring It On! - Chapter 143
Brother and Sana
It’s been three days since the fight between brother, Sana and Damian-sama.
The relations.h.i.+p between brother and Sana hasn’t changed.
Rather, nothing has happened.
Brother, who had only gone Sana, Sana before, hasn’t made any noise.
Honestly, I, Ange-san, and Allen-kun are suspecting brother ate something strange.
Like that, he hasn’t said anything about Sana.
On the other hand, Sana behaves suspiciously.
When she sees brother she tries to say something but ends up looking at him without speaking anything.
It’s the opposite of how things have been until now.
There’s been no change between brother and Sana, but it occurred between brother and Damian-sama.
Damian-sama joined the chivalric order.
It seems he appeared the next day after challenging brother.
Brother told me about that time.
” That’s to say, please take care of me from now. Thank you, Captain Ricardo.”
Said Damian-sama.
“Ha? What are you doing, Damian-dono. Hey, Alek. What does he mean by ‘that’s to say’?”
Brother seemed to ask Alek-sama who was with him.
” It seems the procedure was completed first thing in the morning. Honestly, I also want to hear it. Captain, do you happen to know why Damian-dono wished to enlist?”
“Ah~~, I have an idea It may be due to yesterday?”
Damian-sama strongly nodded to such brother’s words.
“That’s right! I’ve never lost to someone my age until now. That’s why I was attracted to a strong woman that’s Sansan. However, yesterday Captain Ricardo completely defeated me. Right now I can only see Captain Ricardo!”
Hearing that, brother seems to have felt an extreme discomfort.
Alek-sama, who was next to it, also seem to have recognized him as a person to be on guard around.
By the way, he was pushed into the chivalric order suddenly by grandfather and Dan-sensei, so it seems brother couldn’t do anything.
Because of that, brother has been excessively tired for last three days.
The training is good, but aside from that he has an air of nostalgia around him.
For some reason, flames of rivalry seems to have been lit in his aide, Alek-sama.
Wow~~, brother is popular with men.
“So I think. Aren’t Lillina or Allen good enough?”
Brother said such a thing with a tired look.
No, no, somehow he feels awfully persistent, so I’ll refrain.
“I, I don’t want to, elder brother. It’s impossible for anyone else than you to be Damian-sama’s opponent. Besides, there are people I need to watch out for as well.”
I can’t be careless yet with the combination of Leon-sama and Sumire-sama around.
With Damian-sama coming here, wouldn’t my limit be exceeded by far?
Well, Allen-kun said he would like to go at it once, but I wonder.
“Ha~~, it can’t be helped. For now, we’ll study cooperation.”
“Oh, I didn’t expect the word ‘cooperation’ to come out of your mouth, elder brother.”
“Lillina, you, do you think of me as a fool? Well, I wouldn’t say such a thing is normal. Damian is strong, but he really is poor at working with others. Although he is good individually, once you are a member of the chivalric order, you need to fit perfectly with your surroundings.”
S, somehow my brother is being cool.
I’m surprised.
While I and brother were talking about such things, Sana, who was away as she had some errands to run, came back.
Then brother stood up and left the room.
Sana looked slightly sad seeing brother’s appearance.
Hm, I wonder if I can do something?
I don’t want to see those two looking like this.
For now, let’s ask Sana.
I may be meddling, but I think as it is it’s hopeless.
“Hey, Sana. About elder brother”
When I said just this much, Sana startled me.
Because, Sana is shedding tears.
“H, hey Sana. Your tears Ah, come on, here, wipe your tears with this.”
I hurriedly handed her a handkerchief.
Sana replied in a tearful voice ‘Thank you vewy much.’
Because she’s crying, she said ‘vewy.’
Sana finally calmed down after five minutes.
Sana, now with her eyes red, started talking.
“I, I, even though I’m just suffering from the consequences of my actions, it’s painful Being avoided by Ricardo I don’t know what to do.”
“Sana, I’ve been meaning to ask you. Why were you so fixated on that match? You should have known from the start? You can’t win when brother gets serious.”
” Yes. Even so, I really wanted a serious match with Ricardo-sama. I am I am not a n.o.ble. Speaking of how I can be of use for him, there’s only a.s.sisting with his everyday life and fighting. Because demons form in the territory, I thought I could be useful. I wanted Ricardo-sama to recognize I could be useful in battle. I hate the thought of only being protected. I want to be able to watch Ricardo-sama’s back.”
Sana released her pent-up feelings.
Did they not come through to brother?
