I was Reincarnated as the Villainess's Older Brother, but it seems My Sister is Obsessed With Me. And for Some Reason, the Male Love Interests are also Doting On Me.(BL) - Chapter 20

“Brother-in-law, how do I look?”

Fiona twirled in her academy uniform, the pleated skirt swaying gently as the large ribbon at her chest added an extra touch of charm.

I had seen this uniform a hundred times before, yet when Fiona wore it… it looked like an entirely different outfit.

This is unfair.

“Does it not suit me?”

“Ugh…!”

Tilting her head slightly while looking up at me—her cuteness increased a hundredfold.

This is bad. My eyes… they’re under attack.

Whether she was doing this intentionally or naturally, I didn’t know, but her overwhelming cuteness made me want to push her down right then and there.

“You look absolutely stunning, Lady Fiona.”

Louis spoke up in my place, as I was momentarily incapable of forming words.

“I was not asking you, Louis.”

Fiona puffed her cheeks like a child and turned away.

Ugh—

That was the finishing blow.

“F-Fiona… you look so adorable that I feel like stealing you away. Please, never make that face in front of other men.”

“Oh my! Then I shall only show it to you, Brother-in-law.”

Why are you making such a declaration?! Are you trying to make me die from heart failure?!

Knock, knock, knock.

“Excuse me, Fiona, are you ready?”

“Father! Mother!”

My father and stepmother entered the room to see Fiona’s final look before heading to the academy.

“My little Fiona… You’ve grown up so much…! Sniff…”

“You’re being dramatic. Fiona, listen to your brother and behave yourself, alright?”

“Yes!”

The difference in their reactions was staggering. My father acted as if Fiona were getting married, while my stepmother treated this like her first day at preschool.

Fortunately, their presence helped break the spell that Fiona had cast on me with her cuteness.

“Alright, you two need to hurry, or you’ll be late.”

“Right! Let’s go, Fiona.”

“Yes, Brother-in-law.”

Louis reminded us of the time, and I helped Fiona into the carriage.

Finn, my adorable familiar, couldn’t come with me, so Louis would be looking after him while we were at school.

With the main story of the otome game finally beginning, my heart felt restless.

The heroine, Alice, was supposed to have rare pink hair. That should make her easy to spot once we arrived at the academy.

Another key figure, Arnold, had brown hair, which was more common, but considering he was a capture target, he was probably insanely handsome.

Noticing my tense expression, Fiona looked up at me with concern.

“Brother-in-law? Is something wrong?”

“It’s nothing. Thank you.”

“By the way, is it still confirmed that you’ll be serving as Prince Allen’s secretary?”

“Yeah, that’s the plan. Outside of classes, I’ll probably be by his side most of the time.”

“In that case… may I join you for lunch?”

“If you do, that would make things a lot easier for me.”

As I patted her head, Fiona smiled happily.

The rest of the ride was spent making small talk with Fiona until we arrived at the academy.

“So this is the academy… How exciting!”

“All new students have to gather in the auditorium first.”

“Then, I suppose this is where we part ways for now. Brother-in-law, I shall see you later.”

Fiona waved her hand and turned toward the auditorium.

…But before she could leave, I grabbed her wrist and pulled her back.

“Brother-in-law? Did you forget something?”

“No. I’ll escort you to the auditorium.”

The hungry gazes of the surrounding male students made me uneasy. Their intentions were far too obvious.

I needed to make it known as soon as possible that she was already engaged to Allen.

“Greetings, Lady Fiona. Would you care to walk with me to the auditorium?”

The voice belonged to Duchess Sphere Raveles—Stefan’s younger sister and Prince Cristel’s fiancée. She was also Fiona’s friend.

Fiona’s face lit up in a radiant smile.

“Lady Sphere! Greetings! I would be honored to walk with you.”

And then—

“Ah, Fiona. Your silver-white hair glistening under the sun is like a gentle stream flowing under the moonlight. And your uniform… so fresh and enchanting.”

“Lord Stefan, greetings to you as well.”

Stefan. Still the same as always.

More importantly…

“You should really stop using pet names in public.”

“But she is my sister, is she not? Right, Fiona?”

“She is my sister-in-law. Not yours.”

“Clive is correct, Brother. Lady Fiona is engaged to Prince Allen. If this reaches his ears, what do you think would happen…?”

Sphere was as sharp as ever. Stefan seemed to actually listen to her, as he nodded and dropped the topic.

“Now then, you two should head inside. Sphere, Fiona, take care.”

“Yes. Brother, Clive, we will take our leave now.”

◇◇◇◇

After parting ways with Fiona and Sphere, Stefan and I went to check the second-year class assignments.

“Clive, we’re in the same class!”

“Ugh, seriously…?”

I didn’t hate Stefan, but being in the same class as one of the most popular capture targets was going to be a hassle.

During our first year, we were in separate classes, but Stefan still visited me often—which resulted in me getting unwanted attention.

Since Stefan was a capture target, he was obviously insanely attractive. His beauty mark only enhanced his charm, making him as popular as Cristel.

“Why is someone like him hanging around Stefan?”

“It ruins Stefan’s image—go away!”

The noble ladies openly insulted me.

“How dare he talk to a duke’s son like that?”

The male students weren’t any better.

If possible, I wanted to keep my distance from Stefan at school.

“Cristel is in our class too.”

“Wow. What a stacked lineup.”

At least, looking on the bright side, being close to the capture targets meant I could monitor the game’s progression closely.

Positivity is key!

“Oh, young lady, you dropped this.”

Stefan had picked up something that a nearby girl had dropped. I turned around to look.

And the moment I did—

I lost my words.

“…!”

“Thank you very much.”

The girl bowed politely.

Her hair—

It was pink.

The heroine had arrived.
