Outaishihi ni Nante Naritakunai!! side story 20

Older Brother’s follow-up

“Aah, she’s done it”

I looked at Freed and my little sister hugging each other and sighed.

Then, I pitifully looked at my childhood friend who solidified on their side.

I knew Will was there. But perhaps, my little sister hasn’t even noticed him.

The lovebirds look happy, their first love is unmistakably mutual.

It seems like a lie she hasn’t realized.

They’re a silly couple bothering their surroundings.

From the way Freed and Lidi talk to each other, it’s obvious their love is mutual.

It’s beyond my expectations.

Not noticing the astonished gazes of their surroundings they entered the world of only two of them.

Well, even I see such Freed’s face for the first time.

His sweet voice when he called out to my little sister. He looked like a completely different person, I couldn’t stop laughing. Since he’s flaunting such state, there’s no choice but to accept it.

At the same time, I feel deeply sympathetic to Will on the side.

How much must it hurt my childhood friend for a woman he’s loved since childhood to hug another man in front of his eyes. But, my little sister directed her feelings at Freed. I can’t blame her, love is like that. It’s beyond one’s control

It doesn’t go as one wishes.

Thinking normally, Will possesses high specs. Making a woman he loves swoon would be no problem. But, it was bad the other party was my younger sister.

Will who didn’t make himself noticed is also at fault, but after all it’s my sister who splendidly demonstrated her dullness by never realizing his feelings.

It’s troublesome, but I guess it’s my turn.

My childhood friend solidified. My old man has a pitiful expression after witnessing this sequence of events.

Scratching my cheek, I approached the two lovebirds.

“Ah, sorry while you’re lost in the world of just you two. But, could you come back to reality already”

Saying so, I tried tearing Freed off my little sister.

But, perhaps because the month he couldn’t meet her felt long, rather than letting her go, he strengthened his embrace.

No, look? The surroundings solidified from surprise, so could you leave first.

From the moment Freed started displaying his infatuation and attachment, the knights and their family members have been staring at them in wonder.

Of course.

My little sister’s engagement and marriage were considered a purely political maneuver. There’s no way they’d have imagined the Crown Prince acting like this.

Still, I somehow managed to send Freed to his room.

It’s better they flirt freely in his room than in public.

I could only sigh seeing how lovestruck his gaze was.

I didn’t want to do it, but to get them to move right away I offhandedly mentioned I’d deal with work. Whether I’ll really deal with it is another matter. I only said I’ll do what I can.

Right, I don’t care about your situation.

I must look after my other childhood friend.

Happy fellows, leave quickly.

I made my little sister a sacrifice, but I guess it’s fine since she’ll ultimately like it.

In the first place, she didn’t even resist properly.

Rather, she seemed slightly happy.

… So why hasn’t she noticed yet.

There’s no problem since that person is amusing, but it really is a mystery.

Although I tilted my head, I moved my gaze from the two who were leaving to my childhood friend.

“Yo, Will. You must be tired”

“… Aah, it’s Alex”

I was troubled how should I call out to him, in the end I called him out with neutral words.

Will who responded sluggishly smile weakly.

“How should I say… You had it hard”

“Not really… It wasn’t a large campaign”

Will, who just now averted his gaze, is painful to look.

My voice turned unintentionally intense.

“That ain’t it… Don’t say it doesn’t hurt. It’s natural that it’s painful”

“Alex, I…”

As he cast his gaze down from my words, I embraced his shoulder and patted it as to comfort him.

“Let’s go for now? I’ll keep you company. Okay?”

“…”

When I prompted him he nodded in silence and we left the spot.

I had an arrangement to take over with Glenn in the office, but I decided to just ignore it.

Let’s do it later. There shouldn’t be any work now that needs to be rushed that warrants leaving Will alone.

There are more important things than that.

The most important thing right now is not to take over, but to stay at my heartbroken childhood friend’s side. Right?
