Chapter 359 – Love Talk

In the end, even after spending the whole day at it, I couldn’t catch them.

“Hey, Big brother!”

“Let’s eat lots of curry today too ♪.”

By the time the sun had set, Espie and Slayer were sitting up ahead in the middle of the plain, waiting for me and saying, “That’s it for today. We’ll continue the game tomorrow.”.

We decided to take a break for now, have dinner, and camp here in preparation for tomorrow.

“Geez…… you guys… have really gotten strong…….”

“”Ugh?!””

When I said that while accepting the curry that was served on the plate, the two of them suddenly looked teary-eyed.

“Wh, what is it?”

“Uun…… Big brother praised me…….”

“He, hehe, Brother, we’re not that good yet, you know? More! We can surprise you even more… and we can become even stronger… and help you more……”

Perhaps overcome with emotion, the two of them looked embarrassed, but also grinned with joy.

I can’t believe that just one word from me could move them so much…… I realized once again that the feelings of these two were so strong, and I felt a little embarrassed.

And then……

“But I’m worried~, Slayer.”

“Yes, it’s certainly worrying.”

“What?”

“Big Brother, he’s in his growth period right now, right? So, he’ll become even stronger than he is now, right?”

“Yes, Brother will be even better than he is now…… that’s too strong……”

“…………”

I couldn’t help but wonder what they were talking about so seriously, but my face started to feel hot…

“That would make Big brother more popular than he is now, right?”

“Yeah, that would be a problem. Brother, you’re so strong and cool, I’m worried that bad girls might approach you and try to seduce you……?”

“Yes, that’s right. I have to protect Big brother from the bad women who approach him.”

“Exactly.”

And I thought about it during the day too…… well, you see, these guys are already grownups…… but to me, they’re my little sister and brother……

“So, continuing from what we discussed during the day, at the moment, who is the best candidate to be your wife, Big brother?”

“Yeah, we need to stay properly informed.”

“I told you to stop! It’s embarrassing! It’s so embarrassing!”

I feel so embarrassed talking about love with these two.

But, I’m not here to be attacked all the time, I have to fight back too……

“That’s right! If you put it that way, then Espie, Slayer, you guys are dating, right?”

“”Hmm? Hmm~…… well, yes, but…….””

“S, s, so, which one of you, um… confessed first? Ah? Have you gone on a date or something~?”

Okay, even though they’re dating, I haven’t heard anything about it.

I should ask them for every detail and make them blush…

“U~un…… I’m not sure there was a confession… it just kind of happened, right? Wasn’t it something like that?”

“Well, I guess so. It’s not that there’s anything special about it… what exactly do you want to know?”

“……………………”

Huh? What? What is this? This casual vibe between them, like they’re totally in sync?

“No, no, no, wait! You guys, you know, Slayer and Espie, are both my brother and sister, so, uh, you know, when something like this~, or that, uh, like if you had any, um, you know, events~, and such, or something like that, uh, don’t you think it’s necessary for you to tell me?”

“”Events…… what do you mean… what’s that?””

What’s that…… even though they look so clueless…… huh? Are these guys really dating? No, are they more like an old married couple? I was expecting a more lovey-dovey, sugary love talk… events?

Well, when it comes to “events” between couples……

“Um, so… the first time… y, you two… h, held hands… w, when was it…?”

“”Huh!?””

Damn, I’m embarrassed to even say it! My face is so hot. Why am I the one feeling this awkward, trying to get my little brother and sister to talk about their love life?

Did I come across as nervous and hesitant?

And then…… Hmm?

“Big brother……”

“Brother……”

Espie and Slayer stood up at the same time.

And then there was a strange silence, and I held my breath, wondering what was going on. In the next moment, the two of them……

“B, Big brother…………… so… cute… what is this!? Big brother is so cute! Cute! Big brother was red-faced and fidgety… he asked, ‘When did we hold hands?’!”

“He’s strong and cool…… and cute…… cool and cute at the same time, Brother is invincible!?”

They got overly excited and unruly……

“B, Big brother, I really want to hug you tight and pet you! Yesterday I got a lap pillow, so today I want to pet you!”

“Hey, that’s not fair, Espie! I want to pamper Brother as my younger brother!”

“S, stop, stop teasing me! You guys were talking about asking for permission to get married!?

“The marriage permission thing can wait~ just a bit longer……. Yes, after we find Big brother’s wife.”

“Well, us getting ahead of Brother…… I mean, I don’t know.”

“Oh come on, you’re going to do it anyway, so just do it!”

“Not yet! I’m still Big brother’s little sister, and I want to be pampered!”

“I need to stay with you a while longer too, Brother.”

Yesterday, these two were being clingy and affectionate, and now they are aggressively hugging and clinging to me.

It was so embarrassing and humiliating that Tre’ainar was grinning from ear to ear.

Damn…… I never thought the day would come when I would be having a love talk with Espie and Slayer, and end up being pampered by them……

“But you know, Big brother…….”

“Hmm?”

But then…… Espie hugged me, looking a little serious……

“If you already have someone you like and you can’t think of other girls…then you shouldn’t show other girls your cool side…… the side that would make the girls fall for you, okay?”

“Huh?”

And not only Espie, but Slayer too……

“Yeah, that’s right…… for example…… well…… you’re going to meet a lot of people on the journey ahead, aren’t you? E, especially, like where we’re headed…… even in the elf village, there weren’t any there a decade ago, but there are elves born after that who are about Brother’s age……

“…… ah…… is that so?”

For some reason, the two of them looked a little uncomfortable with the conversation, and with a wry smile on their faces, they turned to me… what are they trying to say?

“Well, you see, Big brother, if you meet a girl who falls for you, and you like her too, and you end up together, I’ll totally support you, okay? But, you know, that’s …… if she isn’t chosen, then that girl will cry… well…”

“Yeah, well…… we think that’s a shame too…… that’s why, Brother. It’s one thing when you’re with us, but I think you should avoid being too cool in front of girls you’re not even interested in, as that might make them fall in love with you.”

“…? …? …?”

I had no idea what they were worried about.

Doesn’t that make me seem like some kind of irresistible ladies’ man who makes women fall for him one after another?

“No, there’s no need for that…… I’ve never had a girlfriend before…… no, I had Sadiz, and Phianse kept getting in the way…… well, I received confessions from Kron and Shinobu…… but there’s no need to worry about that, right? It’s not like I’m so popular that I have a fan club, like Rebal or Fu.”

“”Umm~……””

Well, I don’t know what they’re so worried about, but it’s not something that happens often, so there’s nothing to worry about.
