Pretending to Be a Girlfriend？ 107

Chapter 107 – The Core of the Past (7)

“What?”

Stachis asked as the wagon swayed along the bumpy road.

“When I get to the city, I’m going to do some work, so please see my father alone.”

Of course, the ‘grave’ of the Stachis brothers’ parents, the ‘grave’ for them, was far away.
There is no way they were buried together after being torn apart.

Stion tapped Stachis on the thigh and said.

“No. If my brother doesn’t go, I won’t go either. I didn’t want to go in the first place.”

“Seeing earlier, I was good at talking to the tomb, but what?”

When his older brother discovered the weakness he hadn’t shown, Stachis became uneasy.

“… Did you hear everything?”

“I didn’t hear it, I saw what you said.”

“…”

“You still haven’t changed your mind?”

Stion was hoping that his younger brother would see some of the changes that had happened to him.

I just wished that we could live a better life so that each other could mature a little more.

In the past, he would have said there was no starchis right away, but now his mouth his didn’t come out easily.
He could recognize the fetters her mother had placed on her before her grave her.

-‘Follow him.’

The words may have taken root in his subconscious his as a result of a traumatic breakup with his mother his as a child.

From stealing to gatherings now.
Weapons, and the fact that the recently created base is on the same 3rd floor.
Everyone is following Stion.

Once you notice it, the question arises.
Why did you follow him and follow him?

Now he too is an adult.
There was no reason to live like his older brother.

Was the work of a gatherer really what he wanted?

Starchis couldn’t tell which one had settled first, his dream of hosting an A-level party or his promise his to follow his brother his.

If you give up your heart to imitate your older brother,
Could it be that his goal as a gatherer has also cooled down?

Stion said that he started working as a gatherer ‘to show off’.
He said that he raised his ratings his with his spirit his to show his parents his a proud image of himself.

…Starchis had no such reason.

“…There is no answer?”

Stion grinned at Stachis’ silence.
And he resolutely proposes.

“See your father too. You might feel a change that you don’t even know about.”

A proposal to experience another change and come.

“I’m not going. Unless you’re taking it.”

“Don’t you have more to say to your father than to your mother? I did.”

Stachis says as he loosens Stion’s arm on his shoulder before he knows it.

“Hyung, but is it really awkward?”

“What?”

“No.. Like this.”

Stion, who kept mentioning his parents, seemed like a new person.
He was always their taboo parent.
Once the taboo was broken, the words Stion spat were very unfamiliar to Stachis.

“I thought you didn’t care at all.”

“…Well, why do I need to show my weak side to you?”

“Who did you see it for?”

“Of course I saw it!”

Tuk, he said, slapping Starchis on the shoulder.

“It’s not that I don’t have feelings.”

“Ah… That’s awkward.”

Starchis grumbled and looked out of the wagon.
I didn’t expect my 9-year-old older brother, who was always dependable, to show me this kind of side.
As if he was tired, huge changes have been happening all at once recently.

However, Stion, who did not know Starchis’s complex mind his, continued.

“Tell your friends… Tell Seira.”

Saying Seira’s name was meaningful.

– Swish

Stachis turned his head faster than anyone else to look at his brother his.

“…?”

“..Kukkuk.”

“… What is it, is your relationship with Seira and your sister like that?”

“Did I not say anything?”

“Is there something strange about the way you say your name?”

“…”

Instead of answering, Stion carefully examines the empty inside of the wagon.
It was as if a ghost was listening to him.

Stachis looked at him more carefully and realized that Stion was acting out of shame.

He looked inside the wagon for a while, then slowly turned his head towards Stachis.
Smiled.

“Wow… Are you serious?”

“It’s a secret from my party members?”

“Are you dating?”

Starchis laughs for the first time in a long time.
A cool breeze blows in my stuffy chest.
It wasn’t even his own job, but he was happy as if it were his own.

I never doubted that each other would make each other happy.

“Hey. Do not laugh.”

“No, I just… Thought it would, but… It’s really amazing to hear it.”

“I did ask you to tell me today.”

I used to see things like that from time to time.

Stion always calls Seira’s name her when he waits first at the Aid base, or that when Stion’s party and Russ’ return are late, Seira cries and hugs him.

It wasn’t the first time Stion had a lover, but
Saying that the opponent was Seira, the feeling I had with Starchis was somehow different.

“What do you have?”

Stion quickly changed the subject and asked.
As a result, Starchis’ heart was surprised once.

“..Yes?”

Laughter gradually becomes awkward.

“This is what I like.”

“…”

“There are a lot of people around. Like I really liked Rose Nicety, or I was just a party kid.”

“What…?”

I don’t know why the story about party members comes out here.
Especially if it’s his older brother.

“Why are you talking about my party members?”

“Yes?”

“Hyung, why are you talking about that when you know how much I suffered from them?”

Still, their story was like a beehive to Stachis.
It was still hard for me to accept the fact that while they loved me, they deliberately drew a line and made me feel lonely and embarrassed.

“… I saw that this time, he helped you a lot. Not like the bad guys.”

“What can I help you with?”

“What do you mean, that hand?”

The shock of being deceived by them was so great that Starchis forgot about that part for a while.

“Ah.”

“That saintess keeps making her medicine, the wizard fixes her arm her, and Russ says he will improve his skills her at my party and rolls around. I will continue to take care of you even at drinking parties.”

Stion didn’t bother much with the actions of Starchis party members.
I thought it would look a little more hateful, but it didn’t.
It was nice to see the whole party moving for his brother’s hand.

So, even if you try to build a face-to-face ceremony with Russ through party activities,
I didn’t expect that even the other party members would look sad.

It was embarrassing at first.
I laughed at the story of them suffering through a character called Elza, but
I couldn’t help but feel sad when I saw the scene and their facial expressions.

It would have been more comfortable if he had acted more filthy and dirty, considering Starches only as a tool, but he did not.

Rather, even in the midst of being dumped by him in a way, he sacrificed and devoted himself for him.
Even if it was for self-satisfaction, it cannot be denied that it helped Starchis.

It was her own suggestion to pretend to be her girlfriend her.

To some extent, it was said that it was Stion’s fault that made them look like that.

Well, it’s not too much of a concern.

Starchis looked down at his left hand in the rattling wagon.
There was a hideous scar where the demonic sword pierced through, but there was no problem.

He gently clenched his fists.

Stachis hides from his brother what happened at the drinking party.
There was no need to inform Stion of all the facts.

As long as this time, he had to solve it himself.

“Can you be sure they don’t like you?”

“Nope. I know now, me too.”

“Yes?”

“I know why my party members did this to me.”

“…Know?”

“It’s because you like me.”

Surprised by his plain tone and the content of his words his, Stion hid his appearance his and answered the same calmly.

“What. He said he never liked you before.”

“I knew that too.”

“…”

Stion was strange, but he could n’t understand why he was doing this as he looked at his grunting brother his.

“… Shouldn’t I be more proud, boastful, or liked? Did you hate them that much? I complained, but I didn’t hate them.”

“What do you like? I already have a girlfriend.”

“How can a fake girlfriend be a girlfriend?”

“… Hyung, are you doing this to me because you’re dating Seira noona?”

“What am I?”

“I feel like I keep pressured to meet someone.”

Stion burst out laughing in amazement.

“Hey, you were the one who said you wanted to try falling in love! What’s wrong with the kid all of a sudden?”

“That doesn’t mean I want to meet anyone.”

Stion gradually frowned.
It was strange that Starchis acted like a child, unlike herself.

“What really happened to you?”

“… Hyung, you didn’t like them very much anyway.”

“What does that have to do with my heart? Your heart matters.”

“…Mind…”

Starchis’ mind her explored her memories of her.
She recalled many memories and recalled those that warmed her heart.

Countless hours spent working with Russ and the guards.
A conversation with Lily, among them the things we shared in the cave.
Concerns counseling based on a drinking party and trust with Vien.

And Rose Nicety, who honestly conveyed her heart her.
It wasn’t just the night she burned that reminded her of her.
On the day the aphrodisiac was added, the physical side was closer than the mental exchange.
It was a day when I lost my reason and acted.

But that wasn’t all.

Even if I say except that night,
I had many emotional exchanges with Rose.
The fact that each other’s childhood was a little special,
There were many strange differences, such as almost opposite lives.

Besides, Rose Nicety was the first person to present her rational love her to herself.
She said that she liked him, and he clung to him to like him.
She remembers the warm touch she felt on her chest when he wanted her back her.

After thinking for a while, Stachis answered.

“…For now I just want to spend more time with Rose.”

“Speak early. If it had been like this from the start, you wouldn’t have had to hear me mentioning your party members.”

And Stion didn’t even mention the party members.
The city was visible in the distance.

“I see a city over there. Anyway, you go see your father.”

“Oh really, I said I wouldn’t go if hyung didn’t come.”

For a while, they quarreled with a slightly brighter atmosphere,

The carriage ran out of the city again, leaving Stionman unloaded.
