It Seems Like The Infamous Trash Can is Right Here! - Chapter 193
In many ways, it was truly an impressive goal.
“If it’s a reverse harem, of course everyone lives together. I think it’s deceptive to have a reverse harem tag but only end up with one person. If it’s going to be like that, a one-and-only would be better.”
Uh….
Mm…….
Right, let’s respect her preferences.
There are various forms of love in the world.
And Ardin and Dantère and such were none of my business anyway.
“Anyway, what I want to say is…”
The dining room door they’d closed burst open, so Vivian quickly whispered to finish the conversation.
“Even if it’s hard, get along well with big brother. Think of it as saving the world once.”
“……?”
It’s not particularly hard though. Rather, my days have been extremely happy thanks to Lionel.
“What could you two be talking about so secretly?”
Lionel’s gaze at Vivian was fierce.
“We were talking about something very important.”
Vivian answered with a broad smile and pulled over a bowl of stew, starting to eat heartily.
“Ah… I knew I needed broth.”
The clear stew with seafood seemed to suit her taste reasonably well.
For me, I was born and lived in this world and just recalled my past life’s memories so I’m fine, but Vivian must have suddenly possessed this body, so she’d miss the food from her original world.
I pulled on the arm of Lionel, who was looking at Vivian with cold eyes.
“It makes me jealous when you look at another woman so passionately while I’m right here beside you.”
“……!”
“…Oh my.”
The way they looked at me with eyes wide open was similar to Vivian’s. Though only in outward appearance.
A moment later, Lionel with reddened earlobes lowered his eyes and said.
“You’re the only one for me.”
I know. How could I not?
As many scars as had been erased from Lionel’s body, he must have regained memories of the past. And by that much, I too could see Lionel’s past.
The man who never stopped loving me, not for a single moment.
The man who threw himself into danger countless times to save me, who was wounded, who was dying. Yet even then, he worried only for me until the very end.
So I know better than anyone that I’m the only one for him, but….
Still, Lionel is extremely happy when I’m jealous, so I should pretend to be jealous whenever I get the chance.
Should I call it fortunate?
Even Vivian, who had been looking at Lionel with a wrinkled nose bridge as if displeased, could no longer pay attention to us.
“I woke up and was surprised the spot next to me was empty, Vivian.”
Dantère, who entered the dining room, wrapped his arm around Vivian’s shoulder and kissed her cheek.
A little later, Halid also came and sat occupying the empty side next to Vivian.
‘What will happen to Halid from now on…’
It was the wish of the real Vivian who supposedly had a one-sided love for him, so things working out with the current fake Vivian is out of the question.
If possible, it would be nice if he could have a love where each is everything to the other, like me and Lionel.
Well, first everything needs to come to an end safely. She said she wouldn’t break the engagement until then anyway.
When our stomachs were about full, Ardin joined us too.
I thought he might not show his face for about a day feeling guilty about yesterday’s incident, but he’s really something too. He has an expression smiling gently, no different from usual.
“Lionel, I’ve been thinking.”
After completely finishing the green grape sherbet that came out for dessert, I opened my mouth.
“If we’re going to leave, it would be better to depart today right away.”
At my statement, the dining room grew quiet.
Even Vivian, Dantère, Ardin, and Halid, who had been conversing among themselves, simultaneously looked at me. With surprised eyes.
Only Lionel showed no sign of surprise. As if he too had considered it to some degree.
Buying necessary items is possible in Hered too. Things that can only be obtained in the capital can be handled through other people.
But the timing of departure must not be missed.
When they learn the plan failed, they’ll hastily prepare their next move. Perhaps they might even come directly to the mansion tomorrow making absurd demands.
Leaving before that was best.
Because nothing is more important than mine and Lionel’s safety.
“A good idea. Let’s do that.”
