If I were to Compare You to a Flower [Part 4]
“Oh, William-sama! We have never heard of such a flower, haven’t we, Caitlyn?”
“Oh, William-sama! Yup, we have never heard of such a flower, Catherine.”
“ “Please answer seriously.” ” The twins were upset.
“Eh?”
‘How can you choose those flowers when there are also lilies of the valley and tulips?’ was the feeling William got from his surroundings.
William was certain that the same plants of their previous world also existed here, but now he was unsure.
The language he had been speaking just now was the Kingdom language, not Japanese.
There was a word for both ‘touch-me-not’ and ‘tropical pitcher plant’ in the Kingdom language. He knew that without doubt…?
“William, those are plant-type monsters, you know?”
“Ah!”
William finally remembered after being pointed out by Emma…
…of the fact that in this world, some species of insectivorous plants of their previous world had evolved? transformed? into monsters.
He had forgotten about that because plant-type monsters mostly lived in the Northern Continent and could hardly be seen in the Kingdom located on the Southern Continent.
“William-kun… Are you comparing your own older sister to a monster?”
Arthur lowered the tone of his voice and directed a reproachful gaze at William.
It was just the other day that Arthur became furious because Robert put out a slime-like jelly before Emma’s eyes.
Arthur felt indignant because wasn’t what William said basically the same as what Robert did?
“William, even if you were only joking when you mentioned those monsters… still… you are an awful person.”
“William-sama, you disappointed me.”
The prince, who exceptionally cherished Emma, and even Joshua, who most likely understood the intention behind William’s choice of flowers, condemned William.
“Eeeh? I didn’t mean it that way…”
Yesterday’s enemy is today’s friend.
Thinking that anyone who made Emma sad was unforgivable, even if that person was her younger brother, the two teamed up and pressed William for an explanation
“Then what did you mean by that?”
“Please give us a satisfactory explanation.
“……”
Furthermore, Arthur, who was watching from behind the two, exuded intense pressure.
“That, um, well… Everyone, calm down?”
‘This scornful gaze… It’s my first time receiving it after that time I got fired from being late to a part-time job for five days in a row in my past life.’ William suddenly became nostalgic.
William never thought he would receive this kind of stare even after he was reborn. Usually, his older brother would come to defend him, but George after the Ancient Imperial Language class wasn’t in the state to do that right now. The main culprit, his older sister, looked like she was enjoying the situation, so the possibility of William being saved by her was thin.
At that,
“Ah! So basically, William-sama is that, isn’t he? ‘If the one who wants to propose to Emma-sama isn’t someone who can at least bring her a flower of a plant-type monster… a flower that is difficult to obtain even by staking one’s life, I will never hand my older sister over!’ was what you wanted to say, right?”
*clap* Francesca suddenly clapped her hands as if she had finally understood something and gave… not timely help, but a puzzling explanation.
“Eeeh?”
“Oh?”
“My!”
“Hoo?”
“Is that so? William?”
It seemed like he would be able to avoid the scornful gazes with this, but still… he would really hate to reply straight with “Yes, that’s right.”
He hated to say it, but the furious Arthur at this moment was scary, plus he didn’t have the guts to make an enemy of the prince of this country.
William choked back his tears and prioritized protecting himself.
“…Y-Yes. That’s… right.”
A small sacrifice may be necessary to solve a more pressing problem.
William had lost many things because of Francesca’s puzzling explanation, but it was that explanation that made the place that was about to become a scene of bloodbath turn unbelievably peaceful.
“Ah, that’s right. William-kun loves his onee-chan, doesn’t he?”
“William-kun is very smart, but he is still a child, after all, isn’t he? So you don’t want to be separated from your onee-chan.”
“That’s kinda cute, isn’t it, Caitlyn?
“That’s kinda cute, Catherine.”
“ “ “ “ “ “Fufufufu” ” ” ” ” ” Everyone looked at William with lukewarm eyes.
“Aww, William, you…”
In the middle of that, Emma also joined in while holding back her laugh.
“(uh)……….……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………yes………I-luv-my-onee-sama-very-much.”
Emma’s grinning face really got on William’s nerves, but he could only squeeze those words out while shedding bitter tears and accept how he had become a joke.
