Breaking Off The Engagement… Bring It On! Chapter 84

Departure

Two days later we left for the western country.
Over those two days brother was unusually annoying.
Generally speaking, he hung around Sana.
Whenever Sana had even a little break, he'd approach her and recommend having tea and sweets.
Of course, those tea and sweets would be prepared by Sana.

At first my mother and grandmother were watching brother trying to convey his feelings with delight, but it seems they changed their minds while looking at brother's behavior.

Eventually when family's heir offered Sana no rest in her work, the two of them flipped out.

"You foolish son! What on earth are you doing? Sana is wasted on such an idiot!"

"Hmm, well… Honestly, how did it come to this? To be so pitifully unable to woo his important woman, this good-for-nothing grandson."

Attacked by the two brother was overwhelmed.
Then mother made a final announcement.

"Ricardo, think carefully of what you are doing. You are prohibited from approaching Sana until you realize your feelings."

"N, no way."

Brother collapsed upon hearing of restraining order for about 5 minutes.
But momentarily after he revived he tried to approach Sana who would soon leave on a trip and learned his lesson…
In front of me grandfather, asked by the most frightening team of the two women, stood in his way.

"Ricardo, I understand your feelings, but I'm sorry… I won't oppose Leafia and Liza."

Grandfather… so you're weak against grandmother and mother.

Afterwards brother earnestly continued being dealt damage by grandfather.
After all, grandfather is strong.
Brother couldn't compete at all.
However brother kept standing up to grandfather without getting discouraged.
Perhaps he's already forgotten his original goal of approaching Sana… Right, I guess he's having fun with grandfather after his long absence.
After all, he's a fool.

Grandmother and mother were sighing seeing the situation.
I guess it deviated from their plan?

My grandparents informed me we'd depart before sunrise.
It's a secret from brother.
It would be troublesome if he would, as you'd expect, bother Sana.

I told Alek-sama to take care of him afterwards.

"Thank you Alek-sama, elder brother will surely prove to be a special bother."

"Ah, it's alright. It's the usual. He's a really hopeless person to worry his younger sister Lillinsama like this. More importantly, I am sorry for my twins, but please take care of them. It seems they've forced the matter of following Lillinsama."

And now I've left the territory.
Of course, brother knew about today's departure, but he didn't think we'd leave so soon.

It's kind of pitiful, but I want you to meet Sana only after you've faced your feelings.
Around this time he may be making a racket, but there's nothing to worry about with mother and Alek-sama there to take care of him.

As planned, we are heading for the western country.
With grandfather, grandmother, Sana, Allen-kun, Ange-sama and me, in total we are six.
Right now, we're in a carriage.
As expected the number of people is fine, and as we aren't in a hurry we're using a carriage.
Because we haven't brought a driver, grandfather is in charge of it.

At first Allen-kun said he'd like to do it, but he carelessly forgot to ask grandfather.
According to grandmother, he likes steering, so he'd like to do it.

Grandfather was driving the carriage well, but while I was deep in thought it slowed down before coming to a stop.
I tried to check with grandfather whether something happened, but before that, grandfather turned and said.

"I'd thought I should ignore him, but I changed my mind. It's troublesome, so I think I'll bring him along on our journey."

Huh?
What do you mean?
We couldn't understand what grandfather said, and all made an amazed face.
Only grandmother, who could understand, answered 'Is that so?"
Ask for an explanation!

But without an explanation, grandfather came down and walked a little in the direction we'd come from.
O~~y, grandfather~~!
Please explain what's going on~~.

Since it's like this, I asked grandmother who seems to be the only one with a grasp on the situation.

"Grandmother, where on earth is the grandfather headed?"

But grandmother's answer is…

"It's fine, he'll be back soon."

Eh~, I can't say anything else if you reply with such a smile.
It seems we have to choice but to wait for grandfather to return.
