Siblings Showdown
「……Eleonora-neesan?」
「Al, what are you doing in――ara? Could it be, you all are going to participate in the arm wrestling competition?」
The appearing Eleonora-neesan immediately grinned after noticing the participation form I was holding. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「No, I was just troubled if I should participate or not」
Suppose Eleonora-neesan knows that we’re going to participate and she also participate, then there will be no chance of winning for us.
Or rather, I left the troublesome things to Alicia and Luna-san under the pretext of a tea party so I don’t know what kind of retaliation I might face if I were to face her.
There is also the possibility that my bone will break under the pretext of an arm wrestling match.
If I can deceive Eleonora-neesan and the other somehow and get away――
「Huh? You said we’re going to participate in the arm wrestling, right?」
Just when I was thinking about such a crafty measure, Ra-chan easily exposed our intention.
U, un, there is nothing wrong with how pure Ra-chan is. The wrong one here is me. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「Right? You wrote your name on the participants form after all」
This sister of mine, she still went ahead and asked me such a question even after finding out that I would participate.
Dang it, did she see my name on the written form? So sharp even though I’ve immediately hidden it with my body.
It will be hard to say that I won’t participate now that she has seen my name on the participation form.
「Oi oi, Al. Don’t say something strange now」
When I was coldly sweating due to Ra-chan and Eleonora-neesan, Torr came and interrupted us.
Ooh, Torr! Is he going to send a helping hand!?
That’s right. You also don’t want to fight with your sister, Ema-oneesama, right? That’s why, he must have decided not to participa――
「We decided to join the arm wrestling competition, right!」
「That’s right. Didn’t you say we’re going to enter the children-mixed group?」
Wrong, he’s not giving a helping hand at all.
Rather than that, it’s not just Torr, but even Eric also shows a strong intention to participate.
What is this, this sense of discomfort.
And I’m especially curious about Eric’s strangely explanatory manner of talking.
Looking closely at the direction their gazes went, Torr went to Eleonora-neesan. While Eric's eyes went to Alicia. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「……you guys, you’re just thinking of holding hands legitimately with the person you like in the arm wrestling competition, right?」
「「…………」」
When I said that to them while staring fixedly at them, Torr and Eric’s eyes blatantly wandered around showing their agitation.
「How sly」
「「S, shaddup!」」
That’s the only word able to express Torr and Eric’s current situation.
「Even if you are interested in the opposite sex, do you think it is appropriate to try to hold hands in an arm wrestling match? Aren’t you ashamed of being a man?」
「I’m not ashamed. I will use any means as long as I can get the best result. It’s the same as being an adventurer」
I don’t know whether he heard Roomba’s journey as an adventurer or not, but it’ll be a problem if you use such weighty words in this kind of situation.
When I directed a questioning look toward him, Torr placed his arm on my shoulder and whispered.
「It’s not like it will also be bad for Al, isn’t it? Maybe, my neechan will also participate」
「――!!」
So in other words, I may also hold hands with Ema-oneesama!
「Err no, I only have respect and affection toward Ema-oneesama, it’s different from your romantic feeling」
I respect Ema-oneesama as an ideal sister.
It’s good to have a peaceful conversation with each other and be cherished by the gentle older sister, I don’t want the kind of feeling boys in their puberty have.
For a moment, I thought it was good just like that..
「I’ve been thinking about it for a while now but I still don’t understand you」
「In any case, that’s the reason I will participate」
「……fine」
As expected, it is difficult to overturn the situation with so many enemies.
I gave up, wrote my name, and gave the participation form to Torr. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「We will also participate」
「Hee, right. The strict tea party is over so I just wanted to move my body around a bit」
Eleonora-neesan stretches while sending a meaningful glance at us.
She was there, and she seemed to know who made the unnecessary suggestion back then.
「Then there is the throwing target or the kick target. It will become a good release if you hit the target」
「But, I did it yesterday, and I want to show Alicia-sama what the village looks like today」
Even when I told her to go somewhere else indirectly, Eleonora-neesan brought up the Duke's house young lady, Alicia as a reason.
As long as it is about entertaining Alicia, it could be said that she has the right to decide all of her actions.
Alicia-san, you’ll treat us with respect just like you did this morning, right? Look, we have our role of entertaining Ra-chan.
When I looked at her as if I was imploring her, Alicia grinned.
「This looks interesting. Shall we participate?」
「That’s right! We already arrived here after all!」
Eleonora-neesan happily agrees with Alicia’s remark.
Mou, Alicia doesn’t understand. Just when I thought she was being thoughtful, now she took an action where it caused me trouble.
Just, what on earth was she thinking and acting upon?
「It’s been a while since I did arm wrestling～」
「I am going to demonstrate the result of training with the vigilante group」
Sheila and Ema-oneesama make pose with their slender biceps raised.
If Eleonora-neesan and Luna-san were to also participate amiably like that.....
「Al, just remember what happens if you make mistakes」
「……you too Eric」
「「…………」」
It seems like it’s impossible.
After whispering close to our ears, Eleonora-neesan and Luna-san wrote their name on the participation form. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
◆
There is a children group in the arm wrestling competition, some separated by gender, and some of which also mixed gender.
We decided to participate in the mixed men and women group, Eleonora-neesan’s party also decided to participate in the group.
Although I said all that, there are also other children besides us nobles in that group. In addition, Carla-san and Celia-san also arranged the participants according to their ages.
I am seven years old and Eleonora-neesan is thirteen years old. If you think about it calmly, there is a large difference no matter how you think about it, so there is probably a slim chance I will face Eleonora-neesan.
It wouldn’t be as beautiful as the picture Torr and Eric envisioned.
At most, Torr, Asmo, or the children of the villagers will become my - and Ra-chan’s - opponents.
Darn it, I could have convinced them if I had been able to realize this sooner.
「It is amazing that many noble-samas will participate this year. I wrote the competition bracket here」
Saying that, Celia-san pasted the competition bracket on the restaurant’s wall.
First match, Ranna ＶＳ Kanna.
Second match, Alicia ＶＳ Hannah
Third match, Torr ＶＳ Ema
Fourth match, Asmo ＶＳ Sheila
Fifth match, Eric ＶＳ Luna
Sixth match, Alfried ＶＳ Eleonora
Wait a minute. These matches are definitely strange. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「Celia! You definitely set it up, didn’t you!?」
「Ha? Who are you talking to?」
In response to Torr’s emotional accusation, Celia-san replied with a threatening voice.
「S, sorry. U, umm, somehow I feel like the matches were deliberately……」
Torr’s attitude shrinks in an instant due to Celia-san’s intimidating air, but even so he still desperately wanted to hold hands with Eleonora-neesan that he squeezed out those words.
「That’s right. I thought it was going to be interesting to have a confrontation between siblings, so I arranged it that way. The venue will be more lively this way, right?」
Celia-san looks toward the competition bracket while grinning.
「Ohh! Torr and Ema are arm wrestling!」
「Even Asmo and Sheila and Aflried-sama and Eleonora-sama are going to do it. Is it sibling showdown?」
「What’s this! Isn’t this going to be interesting!」
The adult participants and spectators start to gather there, showing interest.
I wonder where has fairness gone to?
However, as Celia-san expected, the story starts to spread, and one after another, people come inside the restaurant and order liquor or food.
……I can’t run away from this anymore. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
Thanks for the chapters!!😉
