Episode 13: Younger Brother in this World IV

"I apologize for losing self-control."

Will's eyes were red as he sniffed his nose. He sat on the soft sofa of the drawing room and blew his nose using a tissue.

"And also, thank you very much, your highness, the second prince Dylan."

I was a little taken aback by Will, who bowed his head so deeply that I wouldn't be able to think he was a Yankee.

"Stop it with 'your highness'. That's right. Oh, I want you to call me elder brother."

"Eh.... Is that okay?"

"Of course."

Will was conflicted by the prince who smiled happily. I also leaned forward.

"Well, umm......"

"Yes?"

"El━elder brother Dylan."

Will muttered softly, his face blushing embarrassed as he moved his mouth. The prince satisfyingly smiled.

Wait. How about me?

With expectation, I also looked at Will from the side but with his face red, Will turned away as if to avoid my gaze.

Oiiiiiii!

"Bell, he really hates you, doesn't he?"

"Ehh!"

When I heartbrokenly dropped my shoulders and looked down, the prince raised his voice and laughed.

"Will, do you hate elder sister? Is that it?"

"....not particularly."

"Then, why are you that cold?"

"You followed me to the bathroom."

"Eh, ah..."

Being shut by Will, this time I closed my mouth. That was certainly disgusting... I guess it can't be helped to be hated.

"Haー, interesting. Oh, It's about time to go home."

"Eh? Is it that hour already?"

The prince suddenly stood up, I also stood up and prepared to send him off. Just as I thought, he's been going home early these days. Maybe it's just been weird up until now. He must have started working little by little.....

"Elder brother Dylan, Thank you very much."

"Let's play together next time."

"Of course!"

When the prince pet Will's head, Will narrowed his eyes like it felt good. That's my job.

When I frowned, the prince looked at me and laughed.

"Does Bell want it too?"

"That's not it!"

"But as far as it goes, I'm still a lot older than Bell."

That's true. The prince is a year older than me. In terms of siblings, we are children born within a year of another (Toshigo).

"Come on."

The prince gently beckons. It seems that my eagerness was found out. I didn't have an older brother in my previous life and this life. I only had fantasized about what it would feel like to have an older brother or sister.
