The Hero’s Brother Is Bound To Be Depressed - Chapter 213
214 – If it wasn’t for you
I was planning to study hard for the upcoming promotion exam, but today I’m going to forget about the exam and enjoy the day. Before I went to bed, I tossed and turned for a while because I was excited about today’s date.
In the morning, I visited Flavia, who always gives me a lot of help, and received help again. I feel like my world has expanded thanks to my sister who always gives me various advice and fills in my lack of knowledge.
What I learned from Flavia is truly countless. From secret actions to seduce men, to neatly tying her long hair to show off her white nape. She also learned many skills based on her sister Flavia’s experience that could not be learned anywhere in the library books.
Flavia did my makeup on my behalf since I still have trouble with my left hand. Even to me, this is a surprising change. When I told her I wanted to learn, she said I was always welcome.
Flavia, who rolled up her sleeves to make my perfect date today, brought out a variety of expensive clothes of her own and changed my hair style constantly to find the style that suited me best. After thinking about it for a while, I finally decided on braiding my hair into two braids and curling it into a round shape.
I was worried that it might be strange, but Flavia said it was really cute and kept kissing me on the cheek. At first, I was embarrassed by her older sister’s aggressive skinship, but these days I’ve gotten used to it and can actually stick my cheek out to her.
Flavia’s clothes were tight to her body, exposing her body, and the evening breeze was chilly, so she wore a cardigan on top. In case my stomach looks protruding, I think I should eat a little bit today.
I promised Flavia that I would repay the favor later. After chatting with my sister, who declined and said it was okay, I headed to the academy’s main gate at the appointed time. I arrived earlier than my scheduled time, but as always, Ross came first and was waiting for me. How fast was he out… ?
The sunlight made it difficult to see Ross in the distance. Because of that, as I got closer, I saw Ross, who looked so cool and even s*xy today in his clean suit, that made me stop in my tracks and let out a “gasp” sound without realizing it. My heart is pounding rapidly.
It wasn’t a lie to say that it would come as cool as possible. Her hair must have been trimmed, and her parted hair looked very good on her. To some extent, I want to boast to anyone passing by that that person is my boyfriend. Of course, that may not be possible in reality.
Ross, who was staring blankly at the street, noticed me approaching and turned his head. When we made eye contact, Ross’ face seemed to be stiff and my anxiety soared. After all, I am not that good today… ?
As I pursed my lips in anxiety, I saw the corners of Ross’ mouth twitch slightly. His hard face softened and Ross approached me with a soft smile. It seems he was confused when he saw the change in me.
“Pucca hair… It suits you well. It’s so cute. “It’s even prettier today.”
I’m glad it’s not much. Only then was I able to sigh in relief. Ross naturally held out his hand and carefully released my hand from his fist and interlaced my hands. I feel the warmth spreading from my fingertips to my heart, and my legs feel like they will give out if I don’t tense up.
“I planned the entire date course for today. All you have to do is relax and enjoy it.”
I held Ross’ hand tightly and headed out of the academy and onto the street. Without realizing it, my eyes catch a glimpse of Ross’s face.
I thought that holding hands and walking down the street with someone I love might be the most comfortable and happiest thing in the world.

We had lunch at the restaurant Ross had reserved and went out. Caring Ross always slices his steak for me and swaps it for his own.
I learned at a young age how to hold a fork with my left hand to secure the meat and then use my other hand to sharpen the knife… Watching Ross do something for me feels so good and exciting that I can’t help but watch.
I will never forget how grateful I am to Ross, who never bothered me and did things as if it was normal. I’m afraid my gratitude will become dull, so every time I say thank you, Ross just smiles shyly. If it turns out, isn’t Ross just shy like me?
The next place we headed, holding Ross’ hand, was the theater where the musical was being held. I enjoyed watching the movie without even noticing the passage of time due to the amazing acting and singing of the actors. Every time the lights went off for a moment, I secretly kissed Ross’ lips. At one point in the middle, she heard a sound louder than expected and was so embarrassed that she lowered her head.
After watching the musical, I headed to a nearby cafe to take a break and found Ross selling ice cream cones. I was craving something sweet at the moment, so I bought one chocolate flavor and one banana flavor.
Ross was having trouble taking out his wallet with one hand, so I lifted the ice cream out of his hand. Thanks to working out hard, I can now do this. Ross smiled, thanked me, and handed me the money to pay.
As I was waiting for the checkout to finish, a child who was playing with his younger brother behind me bumped into me. I was so shocked by the sudden shock that I reflexively tightened my hands. Ross’s ice cream, which he was holding in his left hand, shattered. Cones and ice cream flowed between my fingers. Because he was so embarrassed, his left hand was so weak that it didn’t even open its fist.
“are you okay?”
Ross, who understood the situation, quickly approached and asked in a worried voice. When I saw the ice cream on the floor and the cone and ice cream on my hands, I felt so sorry that I couldn’t help but cry.
Ross, who made eye contact with me in confusion, calmly took a tissue from the store owner and casually held my hand, which was covered in ice cream, and wiped it clean. As I looked at Ross neatly cleaning up the ice cream that had fallen on the floor with the remaining tissues, I couldn’t hold it back and the tears flowed. Ross suffered for no reason because of me. He can’t help but feel guilty.
After finishing cleaning up, Ross apologized to the store owner, turned around, and made eye contact with me, who was crying. I apologized to Ross, who came up to me with a confused look on his face. I felt so sorry.
“I-I’m sorry… It’s okay, it’s because of me… .”
As I spoke in tears, Ross hugged me tightly and rubbed my back as if to comfort me.
“It’s okay, that could happen. I’ve dropped ice cream on the ground a few times. “Everyone can make mistakes, don’t cry.”
Those warm words made me shed more tears. I couldn’t put Ross in any more trouble. Even though it was late, I tried hard to hold back my tears. When he sniffled and looked up at Ross, Ross smiled mischievously and reluctantly suggested that they share the remaining ice cream, so they left the store and walked down the street, exchanging bites.
When I ate the ice cream with tears in my eyes, Ross said it was so cute that he couldn’t help it and gave me a kiss on the cheek. When I turned my head and slightly pursed my lips at the loving look in his eyes, Ross smiled and brought the ice cream to my mouth.
When I showed Ross the ice cream on his lips, he licked his lips with his tongue as if he had been waiting and walked away without a problem, which made my heart pound and my legs feel weak. Ross’s behavior was so provocative and ecstatic that if you weren’t nervous, you had no choice but to be caught off guard.
Along the way, I stopped at a cafe and talked to Ross. The stories we had about each other were endless. As we talked about the past and what happened on our last date, it was already evening.
How does time pass so quickly when I’m with Ross? There isn’t even a single dull moment. How can every moment we spend together be good?
Ross may be a great wizard who can manipulate time, as he makes the day very short. If it’s real, I’d like to ask you to stop time from passing.
I left the cafe and had dinner. For dinner we had seafood pasta and some wine. The food was delicious and the date was fun. It was a really happy time. But from the moment we ate, I felt like Ross was watching me. I wasn’t sure, but it felt like I was worried about something.
Ross, who was scratching his eyebrows, sighed softly and looked unaffected. What could it be? Do I have something to confess… ? I was puzzled by Ross’ attitude, but decided to wait.
I left the store and walked down the street at night holding hands with Ross. There was a full moon today and the moonlight was bright. We also saw several couples walking along the streets at night. As I was walking down the street with Ross, he stopped when he heard music coming from somewhere.
The place where the sound came was the cathedral in the capital. The enormous cathedral is used as a wedding hall after the service. It looks like someone is having a wedding today as well.
Ross, who was thinking about something for a moment, looked at the cathedral and then turned his head to look at me. Ah, that smile. That innocent smile full of mischief. It’s a smile with a fatal charm that can easily tempt me.
Ross asked me, as if retelling something he once said to me.
“Luna, do you trust me?”
Thump thump – I’m worried that Ross can hear my heartbeat. I nodded slightly, and Ross held my hand tightly and we walked into an alley where no one could see us. Could it be that they are trying to avoid eye contact and kiss me… ? Maybe it’s time to use the skills I learned from Flavia.
When no one made eye contact, Ross, who held me in his arms, smiled dangerously.
“You remember jumping in place when you say one, two, three, right?”
“huh. “I remember.”
I was too embarrassed to say that it was a memory I would never forget. The memories of him taking me to the prom when I was alone in the dormitory and watching fireworks on the rooftop with me were so precious that I kept them deep in my heart.
Ross counted, and together we jumped in place. My vision changed and I felt like I was floating underneath something, so I closed my eyes and buried my face in Ross’ chest.
When I gently opened my eyes, I saw Ross looking down at me with a smile. Ross must have noticed that my heart was racing, and he showed his white teeth and stroked the back of my head.

“Do you know where this is?”
After answering Ross’ question, I realized that the sound of the wind in my ears had disappeared, and the sound of music from the street was coming back louder.
I lifted my buried face, looked around, and was startled by the unfamiliar sight. The area with Ross was where the tallest spire of the cathedral was located.
The full moon appears to be close. Looking down, there is a wedding party going on under the glass ceiling of the church. Once again, Ross introduced me to a new world. This is what the world looks like from such a high place… I won’t forget it.
After I was lost in sentiment for a moment, Ross spoke to me in a playful manner.
“Have you ever danced?”
That’s what Ross said to me at the prom. I answered with a smile.
“One time with your boyfriend?”
Ross smiled lovingly at my words. And then he held out his hand to me.
“Then you have to do it with your boyfriend twice.”
We held each other’s outstretched hands and danced to the music coming from the church. The moonlight is beautiful, and our fingers are entwined with warmth. The scent I could feel from our bodies pressed together and the love in our eyes as we looked at each other made me think that it would be okay to die like this without even realizing it. It was that level of satisfaction.
I didn’t learn how to dance properly, so I was a little sloppy, but after the lively and enjoyable dance, Ross hugged me tightly and said while looking straight into my eyes.
“If you want, you can pick the moon instead of the stars.”
When I said thank you without even thinking about it, Ross smiled and snapped his fingers until they made a clicking sound.
Suddenly, something started falling from the sky like snow. When I looked up at the sky following Ross, I saw sky-blue petals. When I looked at where the petals were falling, I saw Ross’s space magic.
Perhaps this is an event prepared just for me? As I hugged Ross even more with gratitude, he raised his hand in front of me and took a position as if he was holding the full moon.
“I wanted to make my feelings clear to you.”
Ross gestured, and the full moon disappeared into the night sky. And in Ross’s hand was a small box. Ross opened the box and showed it to me. There were two rings with jewels containing moonlight.
Blue eyes look at me. Eyes filled with deep emotions are full of seriousness. I swallowed my saliva without realizing it. With a smile Ross opened her mouth.
“If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have been able to do anything. I was able to work hard like this all because you were by my side. Because I want to be happy with you. So please stay by my side forever. “Because I will never leave your side.”
Now it’s heartbreaking. My vision is filled with tears, filled with joy, gratitude, and feeling sorry for always feeling like I’m receiving something.
“I love you Luna. “More than you can imagine.”
This feeling, this love… I opened my mouth with difficulty, hoping that I would never forget it. If there is a moon, please hear my prayer.
“I love you Ross. “All seasons end, forever, even if no one remembers.”

The vice president’s office.
Jamie burst into laughter after reading the data sent by Modest.
“So my mission is to just bring the continent’s youngest transcendental out of the academy?”
The vice principal nodded.
“He is the one who killed your predecessor. I definitely leave it up to numbers 1 and 4 to kill him. You should target the people around him. “So that we destroy everything so thoroughly that we lose our reason and run to the church.”
“Hahahaha. Having to step on a bud like this almost made me a little erect. “Am I the only one who’s excited?”
As Jamie burst out laughing until his lips were torn apart again, Mesmer, who was sitting across from him, raised his hand and pointed to a piece of paper.
“Let’s start from here. There is no need for a body. Just bring the head to me.”
Jamie lifted the paper pointed to by Mesmer and slowly read its contents, then raised his head and looked out the window and shouted.
“Lunara… The full moon just happened to appear today. Is this a coincidence or fate… ?! “Huuut!!!”
Jamie’s shadow, bathed in moonlight, moved as if dancing on the red carpet.
