Ore no Isekai Shimai ga Jichou Shinai!

Not long before the sun reached the sky's edge, me and Sophia rolled out to the city together. A great day for a walk without a cloud - but Sophia's heart seems cloudy.

"There's something I'd like to go to before lunch, can I ask you to hang out a little bit?

When asked, Sophia rocks her golden hair and puts it in the direction of the day after tomorrow. Without looking at this one that way, I groaned that I shouldn't have liked your brother Lion.

For that reason, it was the newly built diocese in the city of Vesta that brought Sofia. The light of the day falling from the skylight reflects on the stained glass to create a fantastic space.

"How's that, pretty, huh? Mr. Crain taught me."

Look back and ask. But Sophia remains silent. He looks dissatisfied when he says something.

"... Sophia?

"Mm-hmm. Why is your brother so normal, Lion?

"... right. I haven't apologized yet. I'm really sorry for what happened."

That's what I say and try to keep my head down, but Sophia raised her voice sooner than that.

"Ugh, it's not. Lion, your brother just apologized, but you haven't apologized for Sophia yet! And yet, why are you forgiving me!?

Oh... is that what you're saying?

I didn't mean to apologize yet, but Sophia was listening to my apology. You've been a jerk for missing out on apologies just for yourself.

But...

"It's fine. Sophia's not bad at all."

A gentle stroke of fluffy blonde hair opened her red eyes to surprise.

"... why? Sophia beat up your brother, Lion, didn't she?

"Right. You didn't seem like the usual Sofia."

That's the first time I've ever had a hand in anything obstinate. So I was a little shocked when he hit me.

But that's not because Sophia was violent. Because I didn't realize Sophia was getting so emotionally unstable.

"I promise. Mr. Elise is sure I can help. So don't worry about it that way"

"... Huh?

"I guess you're going to be acting like you don't care. You're gonna find out."

Sophia smiled at me when I told her to collect the ingredients. But I don't want you to help your mother. I'm really supposed to be worried sick.

I'm sure you're reluctant to rely on me about Mr. Elise.

"... Lion, brother, were you aware?

"It's about Sophia, so you can't possibly not notice. I'm not the only one who noticed that."

Sofia's mother is suffering from incurable illness. Despite that situation, Claire, why was Alice abruptly invited to the lake or was Alice darkless in the guild?

The answer to that is not because they can't read the air. It was because I read the air that I was acting like I was trying to brighten up the atmosphere a little bit.

Well... I don't think it's all for Sophia. Especially Mr. Crain. I think he was seriously making noise about Lori Boobs or Tulpeta Toddler Girl, and that would be the main one.

But, well... I think there was also a reason for Sophia to change her mood.

"... well. Guys, they were so concerned about Sophia."

"I don't think you need to look sorry there. I mean... Sophia's usually a sweetheart, don't hesitate when it's at stake."

"That's... because your mother killed your brother Lion's family, didn't she?

"I came all the way to the Grand Marquis territory to collect Kusuri material, and now you're like that, aren't you? If I didn't want to, I wouldn't be here."

"Yes, but... yes! Lion, you're so sweet, you're making it impossible for Sophia."

I see. Were you worried that way?

"I didn't push it. Or if you read your mind, you'll see.

"I told you, I only use grace when I think I really need it"

"... Isn't this when you need it?

"Sophia wants to know what you really are, Lion."

"Then why don't you read my mind?"

I think I want you to stop using it for pranks. But if it's to relieve Sophia's anxiety, I don't mind if she reads my mind.

That's what I mean...... Sophia shook her head quietly to the side.

"... if your brother Lion is pushing and killing himself and acting for Sophia, I don't want to be forced to know with grace"

"Oh well..."

Reading their minds on their own is a cowardly act. I'm glad Sophia wants to face me with dignity.

More importantly, I'm glad Sophia is growing. So I don't rely on Sophia's favor, either, but I'll tell her in my own words.

"I really want Sophia and Elise to make up."

"... really? Really, can Sophia and your mother get along? Lion, didn't your brother force you for Sophia?

"It's okay, 'cause Sophia's worried too much. How can you be so suspicious?

"Because... Sophia regrets killing your father. I regret hurting your mother. So... Lion, I never want to hurt your brother."

... Sounds like Sophia.

You sweetheart, you know me. Really, Sophia is cute and sweet. I'm not lost at all because Sophia's like that.

"I didn't do anything I couldn't do. Elise has some thoughts, but I'm much happier that Sophia laughed at me than that."

If you abandon Mr. Elise, my vengeance might just clear up a little. But I'm sure Sophia feels sad. I absolutely don't like that.

Save Mr. Elise, by contrast, and I'll have a little complicated thoughts. But I'm sure Sophia will be delighted. That's what I sincerely wish for.

So for me, it's obvious which way to choose.

"Besides, for my personal reasons, you want Sophia and Mr. Elise to make up for it. So I'll definitely try to cure Elise's illness."

One foreshadow that way. I took out the Gothic hair decorations I received from Acorn when I was traveling. That's how I attach it to Sophia's hair.

"... Lion, brother, what's this?

"As you can see, it's a hair decoration. It fits Sophia's Gothic dress, right?

"Oh, no, this is, uh... is it going to be Sophia?

"Of course, it's a gift.... By the way, it makes sense to want to give accessories to girls just for themselves."

"Huh!? Li, Lion brother, that's..."

Sophia looks at me with a mixed look of anticipation and anxiety, turning so bright red that she seems to instantly get hot air out of her head.

I took Sophia's gaze straight and snorted.

"I like Sophia."

"... Lion, brother. That, Alice, in the same sense as your sister?

"Well...... to be honest, it's just a little different from my liking for Alice"

"Yes, what. After all, is Sophia just my sister?

Once, Sophia shrugged lonely. So I keep saying I'm not.

"I told you, he wants to make it his own thing. It's a little different than how I feel about Alice, but it's true that I like Sophia as a heterosexual person."

"Uh... what's this all about?

"... right. Alice likes to be the type of girl who can walk side by side with me. But Sophia likes to be the type of girl who wants to protect you because she's like her sister."

And now I don't need to tell you, Claire. Hey, I'm attracted as the kind of girl you want to be sweet with. That's my fake heart.

"So... so, Lion, does your brother like Sophia?

"You've been saying that for a while."

"Yes, what..."

Sophia is adorable when she blushes, but she's still a little rushed.

"Hey Sophia. I can't just look at Sophia. But I want Sophia to just look at me. Will you accept me for being so selfish?

"That's... yeah. Absolutely. Because Sophia likes your brother, Lion."

Sophia said so and closed her eyes, sticking out her lips just a little bit. I grabbed Sophia's shoulder like that - lost just a little bit and pressed my lips against its cheeks.

"... Lion, brother?

"My lips are a little older."

Sophia is thirteen this year. Speaking of Japanese, you must be about sixteen or seven years old looking... no matter how you look at it, you look younger than that.

Worldwide, I'm old enough to get married. Kissing your lips is just a little resistant.

"...... mmm, lion brother. I think the hair decorations are falling off."

"That, I'm sorry. Was it a bad idea to put it on?

The moment I try to peek in, I get pulled into an arm tangled around my neck.

"Whew!? - Oh, my God."

It's not me getting caught up in such a sticky means. I'm not resisting, I'm moving on. Take a step so you can slip through Sophia's side.

momentarily,

"- No."

The stepped out axial foot was spattered. Twice out of balance, I don't have the skill to exchange, I fall out of my back - on the verge of being held by Sophia.

And - Sophia's face covered my sight looking up at the ceiling.

"- Eh.... hehe, Sophia's first kiss, right?

"Ooh?

"Aha, Lion, brother, your face is turning bright red, right?

"Yes, no, well... huh?

There's no way I can be flat kissed by a girl I'm attracted to.

I mean, I said it when I was a little older - and Sophia opens her mouth as if she saw through my insides like that.

"Sophia's old enough to get married now, isn't she?

"No, I know that."

"So really, Alice, you can do something like what you're doing to your sister?

"- Buh."

I think it's good to swallow a groan. Well, I guess you'll find out.

"You know, Lion, brother. Because Sophia is always okay. Lion, if your brother cares about that, you can always, at any time, do whatever you want, okay?

"Ugh... Okay."

I realize my face turns more red than Sophia. All I'm saying is that the bad adults were working out. You don't know which one is younger.

Let's hold on a little tighter. And we need to protect Sophia more than ever.

That's why. I can't stand up for this embarrassing gesture. That's how I looked down at Sofia once again.

"... Cohon. Anyway. Elise is sure to help. Because if you don't, you won't be allowed to socialize with Sophia."

"Huh?"

"If it stays the way it is, there's a good chance they'll disagree, right? Sell Mr. Elise a favor and ask her to admit to socializing with Sophia."

Well, more than half of them are pre-built. Sophia is adopted by the Granchez family, and nothing goes wrong without Mr. Elise's permission.

But I'd be glad to get permission from Sophia's mother. That's what I mean, too.

"- Thank you, Brother Lion!

"... more"

Hugs Sophia hastily as she jumps. Sophia looks happy. He looks up at me with a really happy look. That's the best smile I've had here lately.

...... yeah. I knew Sophia was cuter laughing. What a thought, I held Sophia back gently.

After that, we both resumed our friendly stroll around the city.

Under the clear blue sky, Sophia clings to my arm with a very happy face. When I thought, the look clouded me.

"... what's wrong with you?

"Er... Sophia hit me yesterday and I didn't get bruised or anything"

"It's okay. I defended him for once."

Well, they beat out that defense... I wouldn't say that kind of wild. I change my mind, "You have a store I'd rather go to than that."

"Ugh. You know, there's a shop in the redeveloped section that deals with local food."

"Is it a new store?... are they tasty?

For a moment, when I stopped by Mr. Wells' clothing store in Wang Du, it went through my brain.

I came here without thinking about it because I said Sophia was interested, but wouldn't that be two dances then?

"Sarah the Adventurer Guild told me about the store, so I think it's going to be okay ~"

"Sarah..."

That kid knows the taste of the learning food at Mullet School and that Sophia is good at cooking. If you still recommended it, can you expect it......?

"Besides, you don't have to worry about it. Because the purpose of Sofia is to study new ingredients and cooking methods. I wouldn't complain if the taste wasn't what I expected."

"Oh well. That's fine. If that's what you mean, let's go to that store."

That's how you walk for a few minutes. It was a slightly obsolete shop that came.

He seems to be using the architectural technology that came from Mullet, so I guess he dares to keep an old image, not actually old. It's not the same as the Japanese style, but it's interesting to feel nostalgic somewhere.

"You have more customers than I thought."

"Right. Maybe I was right to be here by noon."

I'm just saying Sarah introduced me, and the store is pretty thriving. If I had come a little later, I might have been full.

"Welcome. Two people -"

Mid-teens, I presume? Here came waitresses who felt like simple village girls, but when they saw us, they shut their mouths.

"... what's wrong with you?

"- No, excuse me. Please, call me in the open seat. I'll come back later to ask for your order."

The waitress hurriedly flips herself and rushes to the back of the store. We dropped it off, and while we twisted our necks, we sat in the empty seat.

But...

"Ugh. Oh, my God, what's this away feeling?"

If it's just the waitress, I thought it was my fault, but the other customers' gaze is somewhat painful. I don't feel like I can blatantly put my face up to you, but I have an atmosphere where you're not welcome at all.

"Lion, if your brother cares, why don't we use the favor?

"... No, you don't have to use it"

Knowing might ruin my happiness, and it's not something I need to know.

Sophia's trying not to use her favors except when she really needs them in the first place, but she can't make me use them to the point where I'm a little concerned.

I dared not to worry about my gaze and decided to look through the menu that was placed on the table.

There are several types of noon menus with a fixed meal. They all seem to be local dishes from the village that say Reggie. More menus at night, but it still says Reggie Village local cuisine.

Does Reggie feel like he's out of the village and in business?

"Thank you for waiting. Are you sure you want to order?

"Softly... I'm on a fixed meal. And Sophia?"

"Mm-hmm. Sophia doesn't... Can I have some of your brother's regular meals?

"Sure, but?

"Thanks! Sophia would like a B meal, please."

I say to the waitress in the second half.

"- Yes, I did. A fixed meal and B fixed meal one at a time, right? I'll be ready in a minute, please wait."

That's what I'm saying and I'm leaving. I can't feel the discomfort just now in the back of the waitress. Really, I wonder what it was.

How dare you, I felt an unexpectedly intense gaze. Now I turn around wondering what it is, right next to the table. A boy less than ten years old was staring at me.

"Hey, you!

"... you mean me?

Though I don't think there's anyone else, I'll ask him for once. No, look, I think it's important to confirm. Is there a proper person in the room?

"You're noble. How could a nobleman be here!

"I don't care how you say it...... I just came to eat when you heard the food here was delicious?

"Liar! You're here to do terrible things again!

"... terrible thing?

Face to face with Sophia wondering what it means. Shortly thereafter...

"Father and Mother Vengeance!

A boy suddenly hit me.
