The Hero’s Brother Is Bound To Be Depressed chapter 120

120 – Regret

After looking around the house, we returned to the club room and sat on the sofa to listen to Aria explain her travel plans.

“Now, vacation starts today. I will check my travel plans again. First of all, the destination is Bald Snow Mountain. Everyone rides the portal….”

Lacar and Kane eagerly listened to Aria’s passionate explanation. Luna seemed happy to go on a trip with her friends as well, so she listened with a pretty smile.

When I was unconscious, most of my travel plans were already decided, so I didn’t even need to comment.

I didn’t have any particular good memories about the trip, so I wasn’t very interested, but I pretended to listen intently anyway.

Aria’s eyes as she diligently explained her plan were different from usual.

“Then, let’s all meet at 11:00 AM in front of the Bald Snow Mountain portal on the Saturday a week before the end of vacation! If you break your promise, I will bully you hard during the second semester!”

Everyone eagerly nodded her head to Arya who let go of her threats. Kane muttered something, but of course Aria ignored it.

Since Aria’s explanation was over and everyone was doing their own thing, I secretly tried to have time to be alone with Luna. Kane immediately spoke to me.

“Let’s go, I need to prepare dinner. I’ll help you get the ingredients.”

Contrary to how he usually seems to be bothered by everything, I answered with a confused expression when Kane lightly lifted her heavy buttocks.

“It’s still 3 o’clock…. And the menu was stable.”

It was a gruff voice, but Kane smiled with an expression that didn’t matter.

“Shall we decide the menu first?”

At Kane’s words, Aria, who brought snacks from somewhere, raised her hand.

“Meat!”

“Okay, Arya meat reception. What about Lacard?”

Taking out a small notebook from her chest, Carne wrote down the meat Aria had mentioned and asked La Carre like a waiter taking an order.

“Well, I like the one with seafood in it.”

Watching Carne write down Lacard’s request, I was able to suddenly find something in common between Aria and Kane.

They are both very passionate about their interests. Aria, who is usually active, turns into a passionate person, and Kane, who is troubled by everything, becomes lighter in her heavy hips.

Since Kane became interested in cooking, being alone with Luna had to be put off for a while. They could be separated by force, but considering Kane’s hard work in making the house, I had no choice but to be patient.

With a sad sigh, I turned to Luna and asked her.

“Is there anything you want to eat? Just say anything.”

“I like anything Ross does. Everything is delicious.”

I smiled at Luna who said that with a loving smile and nodded her head. Cute Luna is unconditionally the most delicious… !

“Okay. Luna is Ross’ love.”

Feeling embarrassed to see Kane jokingly writing Ross’s love in his notebook, I rolled my eyes and slapped him on the back.

“Let’s go. Because it’s roughly decided.”

I headed to the restaurant with Kane. It was late for dinner, so no one was inside.

Maybe everyone went home because it was vacation. Whatever it was, it was better than messy.

I came to the restaurant in search of a maid I became friends with because she asked me for ingredients several times.

It was easy to find the maid I was looking for, probably because there were no people.

“Jane.”

At my call, the maid who was washing the tables in the restaurant turned around and approached us.

She looked at me and gave me a welcome smile.

“Oh, Mr. Ross. Long time no see.”

After saying that, Jane glanced over at Kane who was next to me.

“Are you with your friends today?”

“Hello. I am Kane, a freshman in the pension department.”

Kane bowed her head in greeting, and Jane greeted her.

After the greeting, I immediately revealed the purpose of my visit.

Kane showed Jane what she had written in her notebook.

“Meat, seafood… Oh my, love?!”

I must have erased what I wrote earlier as a joke. Seeing us embarrassed, Jane chuckled and asked mischievously.

“I don’t know what kind of ingredients go into love~?”

“I’m sorry.”

As the embarrassed Kane apologized, Jane asked me with a happy expression.

“Have you decided what to cook?”

“Seafood tomato pasta and sirloin steak. And a simple salad?”

After hearing my answer, Jane said to wait a moment and headed for the food storage.

She returned shortly after, and Jane handed me a basket full of ingredients.

“Thank you as always.”

Jane smiled at her as she thanked her by putting the basket in the storage room.

“What?”

After saying goodbye to Jane and leaving the restaurant, Kane smiled and said,

“Only Luna would know about Ross’s love~”

“Noisy.”

I ignored the giggling Kane and moved her steps with a sigh.

***

The dinner I prepared after returning home was seafood tomato pasta, sirloin steak, and salad with lime dressing.

Luna said she would help by her side, but I shook my head.

For the members who worked hard to make a house while I was away, I had a strong desire to cook and serve them by myself this time.

Luna, smart without explanation, seemed to understand my feelings as she silently watched me cook with Kane with a smile.

Let’s serve the dish in time for dinner in a few hours. Lacard and Aria, who had been watching since when, quickly took the bowl and moved it to the table.

“Wow! The prawns are huge!”

Aria said in a surprised voice when she saw the shrimp on top of the pasta.

“The steak is medium. Only Aria is well-done.”

Arya always ate well, so she had a special bowl out.

While the bowl of pasta, steak, and salad was being moved to the table, she couldn’t stand the wait, and Aria, who glanced at it, sliced the steak and put it in her mouth.

As I sat down and prepared to eat, Aria, who was munching on steak, said with a broad smile.

“It’s delicious… ! After all, I have to marry Ross… !”

I laughed at Aria’s reaction as her cheeks quivered and she made a fuss. Because nothing makes the heart of the person who cooked it as happy as eating delicious food.

“Me, I also really like it. It’s the most delicious steak I’ve ever eaten. I baked well… Again, again….”

Let’s say thank you with a smile at the way Luna stutters her words and struggles to continue to praise, as if she had the compulsion to give a compliment.

For some reason, Luna slightly pursed her lips as if complaining.

Did I do something wrong… ? As I was scratching the back of her head, La Carr, who had been eating pasta, nodded and moved the fork nonstop.

“It’s amazing, manager. I think I have a good chance of succeeding as a chef at this level.”

Carne also admired La Carre’s words and added her praise.

“Wow, that’s really good. Let’s cook together next time. Eating what Ross cooked made me want to cook too.”

“It’s me, thank you for eating well.”

In particular, Aria’s appearance of eating with tomato sauce all over her mouth was absolutely unadorned and wild.

Oh wow, how blessed….

After some time passed and our stomachs were full, we focused on conversation rather than eating.

I was listening to what had happened during the week I was unconscious, and I waited for Aria’s boast to end before I asked a sudden thought.

“When are you going to go to your house?”

As soon as the vacation was over, most of the students went home. Just last week, the members were planning to ride the portal after the vacation ceremony.

“Everybody saw the manager wake up and wanted to go. I didn’t know it was today…. Now that the manager has woken up, everyone should go home around noon tomorrow.”

Aria, who was munching on meat with a happy expression at Lakar’s words, suddenly took on a depressed expression.

“Ross got up late and couldn’t play properly!”

“I think you played enough.”

In response to the inadvertent rebuttal, Arya pointed a greasy fork at me and slightly lowered her gaze.

After the meal, at Arya’s strong request, everyone went outside and set off firecrackers.

After all the firecrackers were over, Aria suddenly burst into tears, so everyone was taken aback, but we could feel Aria’s sincerity in regretting her breakup.

“There are still many uneaten things in the capital!!”

It seems that Aria’s tears are mixed with other reasons… I was able to enjoy the last night before the members left.

***

After the members went back to the dormitory because it was late, I was lying around trying to get used to my new bed.

Parting continued to leave a regretful heart, so after talking with her members until late, there was no time to be alone with Luna in the end.

As she was bothering her with only a small pillow, she suddenly heard a knock at the door.

Smart-

It was too late for someone to come. Even the only members who knew this place left earlier.

When I was nervous about an unknown visitor, I heard a small voice behind the door.

“Ross… ruler?”

It was only then that I heard that the owner of the voice was Luna, and I let out a sigh.

I don’t know what’s going on, but when I got up from bed and opened the door with a happy heart, Luna came straight into my arms as if she had waited.

“Ross… !”

A sense of weight that fills the chest. As if an old thirst had been quenched by a good scent and warm warmth, he smiled deeply with a deep sense of satisfaction.

“Didn’t you go back to the dormitory?”

I was happy to ask, but for some reason, Luna jerked her body in her arms.

“Ehh… that is….”

When I was puzzled by Luna’s hesitation and slurred speech.

Luna took something of hers out of her pocket and put it in her hand.

“What is this… ?”

Without her answer, I reflexively embraced Luna, who was digging deeper into my arms, and with one hand she read the paper Luna gave her.

[ Night out ]

[ 1St Year Sorcery Faculty – Luna Grace ]

[ Allowing the above student to stay out overnight – Parvenel, Head of the Faculty of Magic Dormitory]

“Okay, just in case… I had an exorcism earlier. So she pretends to go back to the dormitory… I secretly came back….”

Luna’s voice when she says that gives me a strange feeling. I unknowingly swallowed my saliva.
