The Hero’s Brother Is Bound To Be Depressed

41 – Facing

Morning arrives in the hospital ward, and while preparing to leave the hospital, there is nothing wrong with the body. After hearing the news, Roel visited the ward.

“I heard you fell down? I heard from Rosalyn.”

I shrugged my shoulders as if it wasn’t a big deal at Roel’s worried expression.

“I was tired for a while because I played too much yesterday.”

“So, is there anything wrong with your body?”

When I nodded her head at that, Roel let out a sigh of relief and thumped her forearm.

“This bastard makes me worry about you. Let’s go get something to eat.”

I followed Roel, who smiled in relief, out of the ward and into the restaurant.

I sat down and smeared peanut jam on a piece of bread and asked a question.

“How are you today?”

As in the original story, it’s time to make memories with the heroines and build the strength of the harem, so there won’t be any incidents, but I asked just in case.

“No big deal. Other than training and studying more these days? When you become a sophomore, you too will realize that your freshman year was comfortable.”

While laughing and laughing at Roel saying that, while eating bread, I looked at Roel with a stare at me.

“Why?”

Wait for me to ask. Roel smiled and asked while raising one eyebrow.

“What happened to Ellie yesterday?”

I was dumbfounded and laughed out loud at Roel asking such a question with a smirk.

“What nonsense.”

“To be able to partner with Ellie, who has a crush on her, at the prom. Are you progressing faster than I expected?”

Is it fun to tease me? When I shake my head at Roel’s mischievous smile. I felt a strange strange feeling.

“But… How does your brother know that?”

Roel, who was drinking milk, tilted his head stupidly at my question.

“What?”

“That, I like Ellie.”

To my words, Roel replied with a puzzled expression.

“Who told me so many times? You haven’t forgotten the advice I gave you, have you?”

I hurriedly shook my head at Roel, who was looking at me suspiciously.

“Remember, of course.”

Roel shrugged at my answer and started putting the ingredients on top of the bread, probably thinking of making a sandwich.

Looking at that figure, I was overcome with a strange feeling.

The story of Ross, Ellie, and Roel begins with the explosion of Ross’ inferiority complex, thinking that Ellie and Roel kissed.

Thinking that ‘Even Eli was stolen by Roel’, he succumbed to the demon king’s temptation and gained the power of darkness.

It was a plot where Ross died at Roel’s hands while attempting to clear her misunderstanding and make Ellie her own.

Of course, I also found the unclean artifact and handed it over to Professor Leora. The nervous breakdown was also gone, so it was safe to say that Ross’ death flag was gone.

But one question bothered me like a thorn in my finger.

Why did Ross, who was not on good terms with his older brother, tell Roel that he likes Ellie?

When you feel uncomfortable about something. Suddenly, a sandwich appeared in front of my eyes.

“Complete! Roel’s special sandwich that only those in the know at the academy know about! I wanted to do it for you once. Try it!”

I couldn’t understand Roel’s friendly look as he gave her a homemade sandwich and smiled brightly.

It’s not the setting of the novel, just Roel right in front of you. Because anyone could tell that her brother wasn’t a scumbag who would take away a girl he liked.

Take a sandwich and take a bite. Let’s say it’s delicious to see Roel looking at you with an expectant expression. A sense of incongruity filled her mind even more when she saw her bright smile.

I feel like I’m missing something.

What is it? As Roel said, while eating a delicious sandwich and thinking about it, a memory suddenly popped up in her head.

“One piece of advice for Ellie is that she isn’t just trying to take advantage of me like you think.”

I felt as if someone hit the back of my head and received a strong shock.

I hurriedly got up and said to Roel.

“Hyung, I’m sorry, I need to go somewhere urgently. Please clear my plate too.”

“Huh? Okay! But drink all the milk!”

At Roel’s request, I immediately drank a glass of milk and left the cafeteria to head to the principal’s office.

As I was about to knock on the principal’s door, I heard Nelson’s voice from behind.

“Oh, Ross. Well done. I received a message from Professor Leora. You said you did the same thing this time?”

Nelson approached me with a warm smile, patted me on the shoulder and gave me a proud look.

“Oh, I found it by accident while doing club activities.”

“As expected, you did well to create a club.”

I followed Nelson into the principal’s office. I saw the fairies flying in the sky see me and hurriedly hide behind the bookshelf.

Sitting across from Nelson, I remembered that I hadn’t thanked him for the gift yet, so I started talking about it.

“Thank you for letting me know about the island in the closet. The island was truly an over-deserved gift to us.”

Let’s say that with sincerity. Nelson smiled warmly and shook his head slightly.

“The gift is not the island, but memories to be made with the club members.”

Having said that, Nelson tapped his head with his fingers.

“Good memories stay with you for a very long time. Those things come together to give you the strength to rise again in search of hope even if you fall down in trials.”

It wasn’t something I could understand right away, so I nodded my head with a shy smile and looked at it slightly before I got to the main point.

“Can I reuse the one I used last time?”

Let’s say that while turning our heads and looking at the snow globes on display. Nelson’s voice came.

“Have you got something to talk to yourself about?”

“Yes. It’s very important….”

Let’s linger and turn our heads to look at Nelson. Nelson smiled and raised his staff.

With a swing of the cane, a snow globe flew into Nelson’s hand along with dust.

“Of course it is possible. As a gift, I’ll treat the first period as an interview with me.”

He bowed his head in gratitude to Nelson, who was winking in one eye.

“Then have a good time.”

Nelson lost consciousness for a moment as light emanated from the tip of his wand, feeling that his body was being sucked somewhere.

When I opened my eyes, I saw a world filled with black and white that I had seen before.

In the middle of that world. I saw Ross with his back turned and his face buried between his knees.

“Ross… ?”

Carefully call your name. Ross answered without raising his face.

“Hi friend. Have you been here for a long time? Still, I thought it wasn’t time to come here yet.”

I don’t know why, but I got the feeling that Ross’ voice had changed a bit.

I said, taking a step closer to Ross.

“I wanted to ask you something, so I asked the principal.”

“A question. What is it?”

I swallowed dry saliva at Ross’s voice of interest.

“Why did you tell Roel that you liked Ellie… ?”

Ross’ shoulders shook as if he had heard a funny joke at my question.

“Well? Why are you asking that?”

I got a strange feeling that my mouth was drying up at the voice that contained laughter as if mocking.

In that strange feeling, I wiped my face with my hand and sighed.

“Because there is no way Roel would like a girl her brother likes… ?”

At my uncertain words, Ross shook his shoulders and laughed.

“Right, Roel is that kind of guy.”

At Ross’s answer, I clenched my fists and opened my mouth.

“You knew Ellie was using you to get to Roel, right?”

“Well, because I told you to do it in the first place.”

I bit my lip at Ross’ answer. Then….

“Roel, who won’t accept the heart of the girl her brother likes, uses her personality. Pretending to be taken advantage of, you kept Ellie by your side.”

I could see the difference in the emotions I felt from Luna and Ellie.

Unlike Luna, the reason I felt primary color desire from Ellie was because it was Ross’ real emotion.

Ross’s true intention was her ugly desire to be by her side, comfort Ellie, who was suffering from her unrequited love like herself, and keep her by her side.

This was something I had never written about in a novel. Is this content created arbitrarily for plausibility?

Let me finish my words. Ross’ shoulders stopped shaking.

“That’s right, Roel you made isn’t a piece of trash to take away her brother’s woman. He is a righteous being who is good to everyone and fights for the weak.”

Ross, who had said that in a mocking voice, burst out laughing and muttered in a whisper.

“If you steal your younger brother’s childhood friend, the main character’s setting will collapse, so it’s NTR. Didn’t you consume the loss thinking the readers would go crazy?”

Ross, who buried his face between his knees, raised his head.

“When Ross died, Roel comforted Ellie, who was grieving over the death of her childhood friend, and made them naturally connect. The response from readers was also good.”

Ross rose from his seat, letting out a gruesome laugh that sounded like scratching iron.

“The inferiority complex consumables did their job perfectly.”

I felt an indescribable sense of intimidation from the back of Ross, and involuntarily took a step back.

Instinctively realizing that something was wrong, I looked at Ross and asked.

“You… Is Ross right?”

At that question, Ross slowly turned his head and looked back at me.

“Sure. Of course ‘We’.”

Above Ross’s face as he said that was the strangely shaped mask I once wore.
