My Uncle and I Choose the Life That Will Not Be Ruined - Chapter 11
Miriella, who turned ten years old, was given a new tutor.
Berluni Sensei, who has taught her studies so far continues, and Tuvalus Sensei, who teaches manners and dance, comes three times a week. Thanks to that, Miriella had a lot less free time. [TL note: not major characters, and no explanation about their genders. infer and base only on what you think they are.]
As the seasons changed from spring to summer to autumn, Leon made a rare visit to Miriella’s room.
“There’s something I have to teach Miriella.”
With a pencil case and a booklet under his arm, Leon stood in front of Miriella, wearing glasses. Miriella sees her uncle in his glasses for the first time and she can’t help but grin. Speaking of how his glasses look good. He looked smarter and nicer than any bespectacled man Miriella had ever seen.
By the way, the glasses are fancy glasses for creating Leon’s atmosphere from the game.
Leaving aside the blank Miriella on the sofa, Leon opened the booklet he was holding on the table.
“Eh. Are you going to be a tutor too, Oji-sama?”
“No, That’s not it. What now to Miriella, I was thinking of teaching you about the ‘game’ that I know.”
I’d heard the word “game” from my uncle’s mouth several times before, but had never asked what it was. Is it something like a prophecy from the flow of the story somehow? That’s what Miriella thinks.
“Remember when I said before, ‘I know the future of Miriella’?”
“Of course. Because what Oji-sama said the future me was to be put in prison had me startled, so I stopped being mean and tried my best to get along with everyone.”
Thinking about it now, Miriella understood that she had changed for the better according to what her Oji-sama said. But at that time, she had a lot of trouble with enduring and caring about many things.
“Today, I will tell you in detail about the future of Miriella that I know. So let’s think together so that Miriella won’t have a bad experience in the future.”
“un……”
“The current Miriella isn’t the kind of girl who would harass schoolmates anymore, right? So I’m sure things will be fine.”
As usual, Leon stroked Miriella’s soft strawberry blonde hair. Then he began to speak while pointing with a pen at the illustration of the correlation diagram drawn in the booklet.
—————
The story begins in the spring when the main character turns fifteen. The main character who entered the Royal Academy meets five men. This game is about her love story.
A game is like a picture scroll whose ending can be changed in the middle.
“The heroine falls in love with one of the five, but the one who harasses and interferes is, Miriella Fowders, the daughter of a Duke. She is 15 years old, the same age as the main character, and a classmate in the academy.
There are various reasons for interfering, but Miriella uses various means to interfere with the main character’s love. That’s why, when the protagonist’s love grows and the happy ending comes, the villain Miriella will be found out and put in prison.”
Miriella was trying to listen calmly, but her face lost its color. Melisa, who was standing by her side, reproached him with “Leon-sama…”, but Miriella herself held her back.
“Who is the main character?”
“For now, I only know that she is the daughter of a baron.”
“You still don’t know who she’s going to fall in love with?”
“All I know is that this world is exactly the same as the game I played in the previous era. But if I knew who the heroine would fall in love with, then she will be more easier to deal with I think.”
“It can’t be helped. So, with those five men”
“Un, I pretty much know about this.”
The first is Alexis, the third prince of the Kingdom of Lendalhas.
Next is the novice knight Serge. (Rookie, Apprentice)
And a fortune-teller whose name, background, and plot are still unknown.
“And your brother Edmont.”
“e?”
The voices of Miriella and the two maids behind her overlapped.
She can’t imagine that Edmont being the heroine’s love partner. She thought it was some kind of joke, but her Oji-sama who pointed to the correlation diagram in the booklet was serious.
“And finally me”
“Ha…-, HAAAAA-?!”
Miriella’s loud voice cut through the air.
Leon was surprised and dropped the pen he was holding, Bert, Leon’s closest attendant, endured with his eyes and mouth closed, and the two maids were wearing earplugs with their fingers.
“Mi, Miriella?”
“It’s okay if she did fall in love with the prince, the knight, or the fortune teller. Even if it’s Onii-sama, I can leave him alone no matter who he’s dating. But I can’t do it with my Oji-sama!”
“Calm down, Miriella.”
“Even so!”
When Leon, who was overwhelmed by the momentum, fell silent, Miriella, who stood up once, sat down with *ston* on the sofa and asked.
“How did Oji-sama get to know the protagonist?”
“I became a mathematics teacher at the Royal Academy, and so.” (Leon from the game)
“Then don’t become a teacher!”
Leon averted his eyes from Miriella with an awkward look on his face. Frustrated Miriella leaned over the table and approached Leon, who raised his hands as if surrendering.
“Actually, it has already been decided that I will attend a Teacher Training School.”
“Why!”
“You already know that I can’t get a job related to this house, right? Originally, I had no interest in aristocratic society or territory management, and I don’t really want to be unnecessarily suspected of the possibility of a succession dispute.”
“You could just become a civil servant.”
“In order to become a civil official, one have to go to the Royal Academy at least from the middle school. I was a shut-in, so I didn’t go to school. Of course, I too have zero in the martial arts department, so it’s also difficult to become a military officer.”
Gununu, Miriella groaned.
“That being said, there’s no way a good-aged Bonbon who has spent his life as a NEET can get the same job as a commoner. So I have no choice but to become a teacher.”
Leon raise his vacant eyes and look far into the distance.
Miriella’s uncle is what one would call a NEET.
“Fortunately, Leon was good at mathematics even in the previous era, and my brother-in-law (The Duke) also gave me advice about the teacher training school.”
“You are cruel, Oji-sama. What would Oji-sama do if the main character fell in love with you”
*Waaaan!* (crying) Miriella deliberately covered her face with her hands.
Leon quietly squatted down beside Miriella and gently peeled off her hand with his thin, long fingers.
“I’m sorry, Miriella. But if I can stay by Miriella’s side as a teacher at the academy, like from in the game says, I might be able to help you.”
“Uuu…”
“So don’t cry, Miriella.”
Her scarlet eyes were still covered with a thin film of tears, but Miriella held back her tears. She had Leon by her side when Miriella was in a pinch. Certainly, He has never been this reassuring.
“I understand. And of Oji-sama becoming a teacher, I will forgive it.”
“Thank you, Miriella.”
“But! If you become someone’s lover, I definitely never forgive you!”
Bert, Leon’s close attendant, and Melissa and Maille, the maids who were waiting by their side, thought (Ojou-sama is being coaxed by Leon-sama), but of course they could never say that.
