The Hero’s Brother Is Bound To Be Depressed - Chapter 325
326 – Like gunpowder catching fire
Is it because the essence of the writer has been recovered? I experienced emotions from Luna that I had never felt before. The expression ‘ecstasy’ is insufficient to express all the thrilling emotions I feel.
When I think about what I feel now, before I was as good as blind. The emotions that used to feel blurry, like seeing the world without glasses, now feel clear enough to distinguish them one by one.
Like being addicted to a strong drug, I was immersed in the emotions Luna made me feel, unable to resist, as if I was being pulled by gravity.
My plan to make a good first impression on Luna’s family failed due to my impulsive actions. But compared to the reunion with Luna, whom I had longed for, the failure felt like it was not that important.
The only thing that mattered to me right now was Luna.
Luna’s older brothers got out of the carriage and dropped Luna, and Luna’s older brother, who seemed to have met me somewhere before for I don’t know how many times, repeatedly slashed his thumb at my neck with a grim expression.
Perhaps preparing to go out for dinner, Luna’s parents invited her to join them, so they happily boarded the carriage and headed to the restaurant together. Of course, due to interference from Luna’s brothers, I had to stay away from Luna for a while and ride her carriage.
I had no intention of causing Luna any trouble. However, when she met Luna for the first time in a long time, the emotions she had suppressed for so long exploded in an instant like gunpowder on fire, and she could not control her impulses.
The carriage that entered the city stopped in front of an expensive-looking restaurant. She went into the restaurant and naturally tried to sit next to Luna, but Luna’s older brothers had already taken the seats on either side of her and had their arms around her, probably in an attempt to separate Luna from her.
Everyone from the Grace family entered the restaurant one after another and sat down. As I was standing still, people were looking at me telling me to quickly sit down in an empty seat, but I focused all my attention on Luna.
Ignoring the explicit gaze, I approached Luna and bent down to whisper in her ear.
“Do you want to eat with me?”
Luna, who was observing her surroundings with troubled eyes, whispered softly.
“Well, I’d like to… .”
As soon as permission was given, I stood up, hugging Luna, who was sitting on a chair, in my arms. A woman screamed joyfully at us, but I focused on not losing my mind.
I felt like I was going crazy from the scent coming from Luna. Like giving off a female scent to an animal in heat, everything about Luna felt like a sweet temptation to lure me into destruction.
The temperature of skin touching, soft skin beyond clothes, sweet scent. And those blue eyes filled with so much emotion that you can’t take your eyes off them. Everything about it was special.
“Roh, Ross… Oh, it must be heavy… .”
“at all. “Rather, you should gain more weight.”
The buzz around me got louder, but I was busy observing Luna, whose face was red. The body is very light. I thought I should gain some weight by feeding him lots of delicious food. Luna was like a glass artifact, so fragile and delicate that it had to be handled with care.
When Luna’s breath touched the back of my neck, I was able to use my indomitable will to suppress the urge to kiss her.
I found an empty seat, dropped Luna off, and sat down next to her. It was a seat across from Luna’s parents, who looked at us with her curious eyes.
As the saying goes, the three great nobles of the East, Luna’s father was a middle-aged man with charismatic eyes, and Luna’s mother had a striking resemblance that showed why Luna was the most beautiful and lovable person in the world.
Not only that, Luna’s mother didn’t look old enough to have four adult children. She wasn’t just saying empty words, she was sincere enough to make me think that she was Luna’s older sister, so much so that even if she changed her outfit and introduced herself as her older sister, I would believe her.
“It looks like Ross really loves Luna. “It feels good to see our old days.”
Unlike her mother, who gave me a warm and friendly smile, Luna’s father, who sat next to her, answered with a slightly stern expression.
“… “I wasn’t that bad either.”
All the men at the table where the direct members of the Grace family were gathered gave me wary looks, but strangely enough, I did not feel any discomfort or pressure.
No, to be more precise, my attention was diverted elsewhere. The clown was just smiling to the point where it hurt to just be with Luna.
The menu seemed to have been decided in advance, so the server brought a cart full of food without us ordering separately. As I watched the food being served starting from the highest ranking adult, I reached under the table.
The fingertips touched the back of Luna’s hand. As I stroked her gently, Luna twitched her shoulders in surprise and she smiled her bright smile at me. It seems like he was determined to make me die of a heart attack.
“I never thought Ross would come visit today. So he suddenly feels like he’s been given a gift.”
“I also came here spontaneously. “I can’t stand it anymore when I think about Luna.”
Seeing Luna smiling shyly at my answer instantly gave me strength. Clutching her jaw, she managed to suppress her instincts. Like an animal in heat, I was so excited by Luna’s shy smile.
“Thank you for coming this far despite your busy schedule. There are many things I want to ask, but… .”
Luna’s eyes turned to the back of my hair, tied together.
“I’ll ask you later when we’re together. “There are so many things I want to hear from Ross.”
Luna, who was fiddling with my hand with a happy face while saying that, looked embarrassed as if something occurred to her.
“S-sorry. “I liked being with Ross, so I forgot to introduce my family.”
Luna turned her head and introduced her family with a glance.
“My father is Ruinen Grace, and my mother is Siana Grace. The person sitting on the left is his eldest brother, Louisville, and next to him is his third brother, Louis Bell. “The one sitting next to my mother is my second brother, Louis.”
It seems that the first and third children hate me. In particular, Louis Belle, whom she seems to have seen before somewhere, when her eyes meet, she keeps drawing a line around her neck as if warning her.
I ignored my brothers’ blatant looks and whispered in a sly voice.
“I wondered who Luna looked like so she was so pretty, but after seeing her parents, it was only natural.”
As we looked at each other and smiled, the server placed the plates of food in front of us and brought us wine. I waited for my turn and received wine from the server. After everyone filled their glasses, Luna’s father stood up holding a wine glass.
“It’s been a while since all of the Grace members gathered together and having a meal like this. “I hope everyone will continue to work harder in the new year without forgetting sincerity and effort.”
After a kind of toast, we all drank wine together. I put down my wine glass, picked up my knife and fork, and cut the steak in front of me into bite-size pieces. And then I exchanged it for Luna’s plate.
This was something Luna always did naturally for Luna, who had trouble with her left hand. However, Luna did not take that for granted, and she always made sure to say thank you.
“Thank you, Ross.”
“whenever.”
While watching Luna eat, I also cut the steak. Suddenly, I felt warm eyes looking at me. My older brothers are watching the knife sharpening closely.
The older brothers’ eyes seem to be gauging what kind of guy the guy who is dating the cute youngest is is. As a result, everyone was silent and the table was quiet. Luna’s mother spoke to me, trying to break her awkward silence.
“I heard that it was a great help to Luna’s academy life. She was very worried about whether Luna would be able to do well at the academy because she was very shy. As a mother, she wanted to say thank you. And just like I heard from Luna, she’s a good kid, so I think she’s very lucky.”
I quickly swallowed the meat I was chewing and responded to Luna’s mother’s kind words.
“You don’t have to worry Luna. “She studies hard, and she has a great personality, so she has quite a few friends.”
I turned my head, made eye contact with Luna, and said with a smile.
“Rather, if it weren’t for Luna, I wouldn’t have been able to do anything. “If Luna hadn’t been by her side to help me, it wouldn’t have been possible for me to become the head of the combat club or the assistant head of the first year.”
Luna’s father cleared his throat and said, as if his displeasure had been relieved by those words.
“It’s hard to find a child as good as our Luna these days.”
Luna bit her lip and didn’t know what to do, as if she was embarrassed that people were talking about her. I turned her head, made eye contact with Luna’s family, and spoke clearly.
“Just as my family cares about Luna, so do I. Luna is something I am very proud of.”
At those words, the gaze of Luna’s brothers, who were glaring at me with harsh eyes, softened slightly. Except for the third Louisbel, who frowns fiercely and glares at me.
Luna tapped my thigh. When I turned her head, she smiled pretty and whispered softly.
“Thank you for speaking kindly of my family.”
“I was just telling the truth.”
While I was feeding Luna some sliced steak, I remembered something I didn’t say.
“Oh, and now my date with Navier is over.”
Luna, who was startled by those meaningless words, asked me with slightly widened eyes.
“Didn’t you say you’d date once a month until graduation?”
“That’s right, but I destroyed it. “Even if it’s just for a transaction, I don’t feel comfortable.”

Luna let out a small moan at those words. The slightly raised corners of her mouth showed that she was in a good mood. No matter how fake the date is, it’s natural for lovers to be concerned. I was even happier with Luna’s reaction.
“I wanted to make my mind clear. And now it’s clear. “I will never fall out with you.”
“… “Uh, huh?”
I spoke with all my heart as Luna’s eyes were shaking.
“I ask you to stay by my side for the rest of your life. “All seasons, all moments together.”
At those words, Luna’s ears turned red. As she quietly waited for Luna’s answer, she suddenly felt that the buzz around her had disappeared. Everyone at the table was holding their breath and listening to our conversation.
Also, I couldn’t control my impulses and I tried to make an excuse to Luna’s family because I thought I had put Luna in trouble. But Luna’s answer interrupted me.
“… “I already planned to spend the rest of my life with Ross.”
At those words, all the men in the Grace family looked shocked, as if they had been betrayed.
