Younger Brother Tells Me about His Love Troubles

“You! You’ve been disrespectful to Lady Liliana this whole time!” (Owen)

Huh?!

Just as I was about to stop the two of them, Owen and a group of romanceable characters started confronting Lloyd.

What a huge nuisance.

“Uh, um… Your Highness Owen, if I remember correctly…?” (Lloyd)

“That’s right! Why is someone like you acting so familiar with her?!” (Owen)

Owen, no longer even attempting to hide his poor upbringing, spat as he lashed out at Lloyd.

Lloyd, unsure of what to do, alternated his gaze between me and Liliana.

“Listen! From now on, stay away from Lady Liliana! Otherwise, I won’t hesitate to—” (Owen)

“Why does Your Highness Owen think he has the right to decide who I talk to?” (Liliana)

“!” (Owen)

At Liliana’s chilling tone, Owen, who was grabbing Lloyd by the collar, turned pale.

Now that I think about it, Owen is technically a prince, but Liliana doesn’t treat him like one at all. She’s fearless, unlike how she was when she first enrolled.

“Your Highness Owen.” (Liliana)

“Y-yes!” (Owen)

“I will decide who my friends are. Please refrain from appearing out of nowhere and saying such things.” (Liliana)

Although she was smiling, her tone and gaze were so imposing and absolute that Owen could only nod while sweating profusely.

Now that I think about it, during the year-end exams, Liliana defeated the twin-headed beast Orthros and the nine-headed snake Hydra in almost a single blow… Maybe Owen, as the newly appointed protagonist, still can’t match her strength. Speaking of which, Owen was chosen as the protagonist in place of Wilfred, but just how strong is he now? I’ll have Monica look into it later.

“Whew… My delicious meat has been ruined. Don’t you agree, Haru-san?” (Liliana)

“Yeah, that’s true. By the way, Liliana, you’re amazing. You didn’t even flinch at Owen, who’s technically the Fourth Prince of this country…” (Harold)

“Of course not. If anyone spends a year with Haru-san, they’ll turn out like this. Besides… there are people in this world far scarier than royalty.” (Liliana)

Liliana briefly glanced at Xandra and then quickly averted her gaze.

Ah, I see. To her, Xandra is the scariest. Even the protagonist of ‘Galhaz’ fears my wife… She’s definitely not just a side character. Even though in ‘Engage Hazard’, she’s an unshakable mob character.

“More importantly, Lloyd, have you properly emptied your stomach?” (Liliana)

“W-wait! Violence is wrong!” (Lloyd)

“No excuses!” (Liliana)

“Ughwaaahhh!?” (Lloyd)

Poor Lloyd took a gut punch from Liliana and crumpled onto the floor of the venue. But at least he managed to hold back from throwing up what was in his stomach.

I want to give him a little praise for that.

“Whew… What a hassle…” (Harold)

Leaving Liliana and the others behind, I stepped out of the hall and let out a deep sigh.

One of the original purposes of today’s party was to check how much the romanceable characters from ‘Galhaz’ had interacted with Liliana. But with Cardis, Raphael, Owen, and close to twenty others, it feels like their affection levels for Liliana are already at ‘romantic interest’ or higher. No, I hope it’s just my imagination. It’s not like Liliana is at fault, but when she unconsciously raises their affection levels like this, I have to deal with the aftermath. It’s such a pain. Such a huge pain.

As I was thinking about this…

“H-hey…” (Owen)

Looking awkward, Owen appeared with a troubled expression.

Why does this guy keep bothering me… Though, something about him seems different this time.

“What’s up? Wouldn’t it be better for you to stay in the hall and mingle?” (Harold)

“Y-yeah, that’s true… But, uh…” (Owen)

“What’s with the hesitant attitude?” (Harold)

“Ugh…” (Owen)

When I frowned slightly and said that, Owen made a troubled face and fell silent for a while.

Seriously, what is this guy up to?

Then…

“U-um! Y-you’re close to Lady Liliana, right?!” (Owen)

“What’s with the sudden question?” (Harold)

“Then! Tell me how I can get closer to her! Please! I’m begging you!” (Owen)

“Whoa?!” (Harold)

Owen suddenly prostrated himself, desperately begging.

W-wait… Is it okay for the protagonist to grovel like this in front of a side character…?

“I… I grew up in the slums, and I’ve always silenced those who looked down on me with my fists! But… when I tried to make Lady Liliana understand the same way, I ended up getting beaten up instead…” (Owen)

…I’ll have to ask Liliana later about what happened here.

“But then, even though no one in the slums could beat me, she defeated me so easily… It’s the first time something like this has happened, and before I knew it… I couldn’t stop thinking about her. My chest feels tight…” (Owen)

Huh? That’s strange… Was Galhaz always this kind of otome game? Feels more like a delinquent manga now.

“Please! I want to get closer to her! But all I know how to do is fight, so I have no idea what to do! I’m begging you!” (Owen)

“Sigh…” (Harold)

Looking at Owen groveling with his forehead pressed against the ground, I could only sigh deeply.

At that moment…

“In that case, why not speak with your fists?” (Alexandra)

“!” (Harold/Owen)

Bathed in moonlight, with her crimson eyes shining as she smiled faintly, Xandra appeared.
