Sister, Don’t Marry That Guy – Chapter 143

Chapter 143

Chapter 143

Even I think that if it’s between Stefan and our Older Sister, our Older Sister is a hundred, a thousand times too good for him.

If you react like that, wouldn’t our Older Brother be a little hurt?

Older Sister was a bit too surprised.

“Am I a pervert? What do you take me for?”

“No, well. Never mind if it’s not. I’m sorry, Older Sister. I think my joke went too far.”

Older Sister shook her hand, saying no, with a slightly flushed face. After that, I heard a brief explanation through Older Sister.

It was a family that had troubled Older Sister before she was engaged to Blackwinter.

Stefan had handled that family’s son well.

‘Somehow, it feels like something was omitted…’

I nodded.

“Shall we go back for now?”

As I glanced at Older Sister’s profile as we walked back together, her pure white cheeks and ears were slightly tinged with a pink hue I had never seen before.

A day passed, and the next match day dawned.

The night before, my aide, Yusnan, nagged me a bit about how I could just leave the banquet hosted by the Emperor like that.

But fortunately, the Emperor didn’t make an issue of it, and it seemed that my participation itself had become a big topic, so thanks to Rife bringing this news, the nagging didn’t last long.

“I didn’t expect the reaction to be this big just from my participation.”

Then, Yuri, who was adjusting my cloak, raised her head.

“It’s only natural, Young Lady! You’re so beautiful.”

“That’s right, you were probably the prettiest at the banquet!”

Well, that’s not true. My Older Sister was the prettiest.

I inwardly made a fuss and calmly nodded.

What I was currently looking at were the invitations piled high on the table.

They had arrived as soon as morning came.

This was just in the morning, and they were still arriving now, so they might pile up even more by evening.

“Yuri, sort through these with Yusnan and leave only the ones from families that are worth considering.”

“Yes, Miss!”

I left the pile of invitations behind and headed to the arena.

“Please return safely today as well.”

“Yes, Rainante. But when you say it like that, it feels like I’m going somewhere far away?”

I said goodbye to Rainante in front of the player waiting room and went inside.

Now that we were almost at the finals, there were only a handful of people in the waiting room.

Among them, I spotted a familiar face, Haden, and quickly approached him.

It was a very happy thing that I could go next to him now.

“Ren!”

“Haden, did you sleep well?”

Haden quickly nodded. A lively expression, yes, the protagonist I knew had this kind of face.

For no reason, I felt good too.

“Let’s do well today. I won’t lose, though!”

“Yeah, me too… please take care of me.”

For some reason, Haden didn’t hold my hand as he did yesterday, but instead smiled bashfully at my outstretched hand.

Hmm? Is shaking hands not his thing? I awkwardly lowered my hand.

“Ah, that’s right. Ren, I contacted my friend right away last night.”

“Huh? Friend? The one you told me about yesterday… the friend who’s been helping you all this time?”

“Yeah.”

Haden nodded happily.

Then, for some reason, he stared at my hand, which he hadn’t shaken, with lingering eyes before turning back to me.

“I told him that I’ve resolved the misunderstanding with you, and that I don’t know why I had such strange misunderstandings all this time. Then my friend comforted me… It’s still strange, but I feel sorry to you.”

“Oh, oh? Uh-huh, no, no.”

…He told his friend everything? The friend I suspect is the one who brainwashed you. I swallowed hard.

I couldn’t say this fact out loud.

Haden might change again, or he might feel distant from me.

Let’s hold back until I get my hands on the tools or evidence to help Haden.

Haden, who had been talking, gave a slightly shy but bright smile.

“Ah, and my friend said he really wants to meet Leia, you, once.”

“……What?”

“He said that since he’s seeing me, he also wants to see you, and that he’ll be arriving at this arena soon.”

The moment I heard those words, I paused. He said he wants to see me? And on top of that, he’s arriving here soon?

The more I thought about it, the more I felt something was off.

‘Didn’t he say that friend was far away?’

Arriving soon meant he was nearby. Why was a friend who was supposed to be far away nearby?

“Hey, Haden, as far as I heard, didn’t you say that friend was far away? You told me he was traveling around looking for ruins with another party… Did I hear wrong?”

“Huh? That’s right.”

“But why…”

“Ah, when he found out I was participating in the martial arts tournament, he said he would definitely stop by, and it seems he had already left for the capital the moment he said that. He wanted to surprise me, or something?”

Haden rubbed the back of his neck as if embarrassed. He said he wanted to come and see me in person and cheer me on a lot. Haden’s eyes were full of trust as he said this.

I took a small breath.

“Then yesterday, after hearing about you, Ren, he said he wanted to see you too?”

“Ah, so he was already on his way? And he wants to see me too…”

Haden’s words clearly fit together, but why? I still couldn’t help but feel it was sudden.

‘Well, he said he’s coming, so.’

Then I need to resolve this before I meet that friend.

Weren’t I already planning to help Haden with the tool hidden in this arena? I needed to move a little faster.

I looked at the clock for a moment. Good, there’s still some time to talk.

Outside, the match before our match was in full swing.

“Haden, this is a bit sudden… but after our match, would you like to go somewhere with me for a bit?”

Haden’s eyes widened as if he had heard something very unexpected.

“Where? Where are you talking about?”

“Well, it’s difficult to say here. …If it’s okay, can you trust me and come with me?”

As I looked around and spoke in a low voice, Haden closed his mouth for a moment and stared at me.

His face had lost its smile, but it wasn’t the cold and chilling face he had when we first met.

But it wasn’t a face that was hesitant either.

Soon, Haden nodded readily.

“Okay!”

Good, Haden’s agreement is secured, let’s lead Haden to the place where that ‘tool’ is.

‘I know the way.’

The treasure I’m looking for, the ‘Spider Queen’s Crown of Wisdom,’ is hidden deep underground in this arena.

This tool is also the one that controls the huge dungeon within this arena.

There are two ways to reach the place where this tool is.

One is to enter carefully without damaging the entrance to the ruins.

The other is… like in the book, for the ruins to activate on their own and the building to collapse.

In the book, Haden gets his hands on this tool through the latter method because the demons destroy the dungeon.

Of course, I absolutely cannot use the latter method. I shouldn’t use it either.

‘There are spectators, so of course, I have to go in quietly.’

Besides, right now, the possibility of demons appearing and destroying the arena like in the book is very low or nonexistent.

So, I can just go in secretly after the match and get it.

I smiled brightly.

‘If my guess is right, the identity of that friend is…’

I swallowed my thoughts and hid them in my smile.

“Thank you for trusting me, Haden!”

“The players are entering the arena!”

The heat of the Sun Martial Arts Tournament was burning hotter than ever.

This was because one of the people who could be called today’s main character had appeared.

Golden hair fluttered in the arena.

A frail appearance that didn’t fit at all in this arena filled with sweat, blood, and fighting spirit, a delicate young lady with a refreshing smile that seemed more suited to the shade of a summer tree, was surprisingly Leia Blackwinter, who was considered a contender for victory in this martial arts tournament.

As Leia waved her hand and took out a pure white staff, the cheers of the people erupted tremendously.

Leia, who was waving her staff, was slightly surprised and stared around with deer-like eyes.

“Ah, it seems the Young Lady is flustered.”

“It seems she didn’t realize her own popularity?”

Today, the people in charge of commentary and explanation chatted amongst themselves.

In particular, the old knight in charge of the commentary stared at Leia with sharp eyes.

“The opponent is a young hero personally invited by His Majesty! It is said that he even subjugated demons in the East? What do you think?”

“Very impressive at such a young age. This martial arts tournament is truly full of young blood. It is a blessing for the Empire! Hahaha.”

Their match explanations and conversations echoed throughout the arena through the magic that was cast on the arena.

This was no exception even in the spaces inside the arena where people rarely went.

The interior space of the arena where people rarely went.

The person who was listening to the explanation of the young hero, Haden, which echoed loudly, chuckled after listening for a while.

“Yeah, he’s amazing.”

As the commentator’s admiration continued, the man’s smile grew deeper, like ink being added.

“He’s the protagonist of this world, after all.”
