Chapter 194: Sleepover
After swordsmanship practice was over, brother Alex caught me as I was occupying one of the tables in the common room and trying to make small talk as usual. No, to be more precise, it seems like he was waiting for me to finish swordsmanship practice. The timing is too good.
“Julius, it looks like you’ve finished your swordsmanship practice. I have something to talk to you about, so could you come with me?”
“Of course, but…”
I glanced at Axel. It seems that he is nervous seeing a real aristocrat. His expression is stiff. And I don't seem to be seen as a nobleman. But that’s good. I don’t want a formal relationship. I can't relax.
“You should come with us, Axel.”
“Then let’s go to the common room. We always talk there.”
My brother noticed my gaze and agreed with a beaming smile. Perhaps he is thinking of observing Axel’s personality by the way. It’s possible.
“Um, I, not me, I’m here ……”

"There's no need to be shy, Axel. I’m sure Ijidol will probably be there too."
“……”
My smile silenced Axel. And he is getting paler and paler. Don’t worry, neither I nor my brother will be eating.*
When I went to the common room, Ijidol, who had arrived earlier, had saved a seat for me. This is just perfect. I couldn’t help but grin, and then my eyes met Ijidol’s. He looked away. Oh, he turned his head away. I’m not going to let you get away with this!
“Ijidol, did I keep you waiting?”
I approach the table with a smile and casual stride. Ijidol looks up. His face looks very anxious. He keeps looking at Axel. I and my brother casually sat down at the table. Axel sat down too. Tea and snacks were immediately prepared.
“Julius told me about you, Axel-kun, Ijidol-kun. It’s nice to know you are taking care of him.”
“No, no, I am the one being taken care of.”
“ijidol is right. I’m always so sorry for the trouble I’ve caused Julius-sama. ……”
It’s been a long time since Axel has called me by my title. I feel a tremendous distance between us. Normally, this would be the correct distance, but I can never get used to being addressed like this by someone I know.
“I hope both of you will treat Julius as you always have. See, He looks uncomfortable.”

“……”
Did my face show? I’m not as good as my brother, but I’m confident in my poker face too. The two of them, seeing me like that, seemed to have come to terms with it, and I looked down and sighed.
Axel said, and Ijidol nodded. Seeing this, my brother smiled and nodded many times. Apparently, he did not make a bad impression.
“Julius, you have permission to stay at the royal castle.”
“really?”
My brother nodded. I wanted him to tell me it was a lie. Now it was confirmed that I would be staying at the royal Castle. The only thing left was to figure out where I’m going to stay.
“Of course, I will be staying in the royal magic potion division’s rest room, right?”
“I can’t let you stay there. I was shown the inside of the room, and it wasn’t the kind of place where someone could sleep.”
Damn, he already checked. I thought it would be okay if he didn’t see It. Why didn’t they cleaned it up? I’ll have to tell them to clean it up later. I should tell them to put their things in their own rooms. Don’t pack everything in just because it’s close to the mixing room!
“Then where will I be staying?”
Ad
“In miss Daniella’s room…”
“Negative, brother. You are joking, right?”
“Jeez, I'm just kidding. Hahaha ......"
This would have been so sudden if I hadn’t denied it. What are you thinking? There are some things you can do and some things you can’t do, no matter how much she’s my future sister-in-law. Could it be that Daniela-sama is still reeling from the fact that that she told me about Chloe-sama’s fiancé?
“Why are you joking like that? What are we going to do if a strange rumor starts?”
“Well, Daniela-sama is worried about you. She thinks you might get into trouble if you’re left alone.”
“I’m sure it’s you who feels that way.”
I looked at my brother with mousy eyes. The elder brother smiled and looked cool. It’s not working. That’s why I’m afraid of my brother. He is indeed the eldest son of a Margrave family.
"If that happens, I’ll be troubled. Even if I let you stay in the guest room, I am not sure if you can stay there alone. I wonder if there is anyone who would be willing to stay with you. It would be no problem at all if the three of you, including Julius, stayed together.”
The older brother arches his eyebrows and looks at Axel and Ijidol. I see, is this his real aim? The intention is to have the two of them keep an eye on me?
Unable to pretend not to notice the blatant invitation, the two said something like, “If it’s okay with you,”. I’ll apologize to both of them later.
After saying what he wanted to say, brother left, saying, “I’ll hold the guest room for you.” As the storm-like brother walked away, Axel and Ijidol simultaneously crashed like slimes crawling on the ground.
“Axel, Ijidol, I’m sorry.”
“You don’t need to apologize.”
"I know. But, I'd like to at least explain the situation."

I felt bad, so I told them what had happened after I made sure they wouldn’t ever speak of it.
It seems they knew that I was going to the Royal Magic Potion Division, but they had no idea that I was teaching them how to make magic potions.
“I see. I’d like to go and see what the place is like once.”
“I’m curious, too.”
They looked at me. I couldn’t say no to them now that I’d gotten them involved. I had no choice but to lead them to the mixing room. I wondered what they would think when they saw the scene. I don’t want to think about it too much.
