　I was awakened early in the morning by a knock at my door.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It's definitely not Rosetta, this early in the morning.

"Ali?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Huh?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　...... Henri, your brother?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I got out of bed quickly and opened the door.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　What's the matter with you, you look so serious.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I'm sorry I fell asleep."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Oh, no. What's wrong?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"May I come in?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Come in."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I let Mr. Henri into the room.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It's unusual for your brother to come to my room alone.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It's kind of weird. .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Does Ali not like Liz?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Oh, I didn't expect you to ask me such a question.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I wonder if this is an invitation to like Liz.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"It's not that I don't like her, it's that I don't like her."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I answered truthfully because I didn't have to lie.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Brother Henri looked at me without changing his expression.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I wonder what he is thinking of when he looks at me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I mean, he seems to have grown up a lot.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Brother Alan and Brother Henri used to be two of a kind, but nowadays Brother Henri looks more grown up.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But now that they're fifteen years old, even twins change their mood a little bit.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I don't see Henri and Alan together very often these days."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I felt awkward in the air and changed the subject.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　My question made Henri roll his eyes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I can see his purple eyes. I think they're a little darker than they were when we were kids.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Alan and I haven't been on the same page lately."　

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then big brother Henri smiled lightly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Disagreement?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Twins can be a lot of things.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Me and Alan have been together since we were born, right?　That was the way it was, and I never thought it was hard for me. We thought alike, and he was the most understanding person I knew. But that all changed when Liz came into our lives."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Brother Henri said a little sadly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In the game, Brother Henri is supposed to like Liz, right?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I was proud to be twins with Alan. It felt like we both had one identity."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"It's kind of creepy."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I let my heart speak for itself.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I think I was unconsciously frowning when I said this.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Of course."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Brother Henri laughed without anger.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"That's when Liz told me that Henri is Henri and Alan is Alan. So Alan doesn't have to try to be Henri, and Henri doesn't have to be Alan."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It's like a standard line from a ...... heroine.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I can see the look on Liz's face when she said it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I'm sure she was smiling her angelic smile.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But if that made Alan change his mind, why didn't Henri change his mind?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Did you fall in love with Liz because you thought you had found someone who saw you as Alan and not as Henri and Alan?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　My brother Henri's eyes widened at my question.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Don't be so surprised, I played Otome games in my previous life, so this is common knowledge to me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　One question I have here is why only Mr. Henri has not fallen in love with Ms. Liz.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Did not your brother Henri fall in love with Liz?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I was definitely thrilled when you said that, too."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You did?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then why haven't I fallen in love?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I mean, I wonder if my brother Albert is in love with Liz.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Oh, I don't know anymore.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Liz's pure smile, her kindness... it makes me love her more and more."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't know what's going on anymore.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't like his pure smile or his kindness.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Hey Ali, if Alan and I were struggling with our identities, what would Ali say?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I froze at the sudden question.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't know what you're talking about.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I'm not a twin. I don't know what that's like.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Besides, didn't your brother Henri take pride in the fact that we both had one identity?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Oh, God!　I'm not a fortune teller, bad girl.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If you want the right answer, go to the saint instead of me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I hate it when people say "you're you". You're the one who should know best. You should be ashamed of yourself to realize it when someone else says it to you."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I looked at my brother contemptuously and said so.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Brother Henri looked at me with his eyes darting around, then suddenly started to laugh.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He is laughing so hard my stomach is churning.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　...... Am I being made fun of?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Why are they laughing at me so much?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I know. I think so, too."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Brother Henri said, holding his stomach with one hand.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If he felt that way, why did he bother asking me the question?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I was attracted to Liz for sure, but I realized it the other day at the tea party when Ari told her. I had been brainwashed into liking her because of her idealism."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Brainwashing. Couldn't you have said it a little differently?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I agree with Ari, and I'm starting to have a hard time with Liz. I don't think we have the same fundamental way of thinking."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't care if you agree with me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As far as I'm concerned, I want Henri to stay with Liz.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Were you attracted to him even though you fundamentally disagree?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I was a little uncomfortable with him to begin with. But when he kept being nice to me and smiling at me like that, I was kind of attracted to him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Brother Henri said this with a cliched look on his face.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That's an angelic smile.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Did your brother Albert and your brother Alan change their minds?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Because Al and Alan are totally in love with Liz."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I see, so you are saying that because of my words and actions, Mr. Henri did not fall in love with Liz.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Even though we're brothers, we're still a little different.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Is that what you've come to tell me?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No, that's not all."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Brother Henri looked at me with a suddenly serious face. I have a bad feeling about this.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If you think like me, I don't really want to hear the questions you're about to ask me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I pulled a little face.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Brother Henri gives me a searching look.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What the hell is Ari up to?"
