I Became The Childhood Friend of the Obsessive Second Male Lead

Noel, he’s tall.

When they looked directly at each other like this, it was usually on eye level…

Now she saw his jawline.

It was strange to see even the shaving marks in a blurry way.

Umm, then.

Was the boy she saw when she turned around from the window a while ago was Noel?

As she thought about it, she realized that something was wrong.

Rieta does not recognize Noel.

“Now we can talk.”

After she heard him, she looked around and saw that there weren’t many people on this side.

Besides, it’s raining, so conversations under an umbrella won’t reach anyone else’s ears.

“What is with this horrible look?”

Noel scoured Rietta’s outfit from top to bottom again.

She seems to have dressed up as the Duchy’s maid in her own way, but it didn’t suit her at all.

“Horrible…”

“Then is this okay?”

He groaned, and Rieta flinched slightly and wept.

“What the hell are you doing here?”

“That.”

When Rieta couldn’t speak and only clasped her hands together, Noel urged Rieta several more times.

“……”

Of course, that only made Rieta’s head gradually lower towards the floor.

Noel forcibly suppressed the rising anger.

He’ll have to figure out the situation anyway.

“Okay, answer this first. Are you into bad things?”

Rieta gently shook her head.

She thought she might have fell into a trap, but that was not the case.

“You didn’t come alone, did you?”

“……yes.”

“With who?”

“……”

She could not answer those words.

“Who brought you here!”

Noel was so agitated that he unknowingly started screaming again.

“I, I can’t say that, Noel.”

“What’s wrong? Is it Elisha? Where is he hiding?”

“Elisha has nothing to do with it.”

“Then which punk is it?”

Rieta was troubled, but she couldn’t let Noel go on with the disrespect to call his beloved brother ‘which punk’.

Because later, when Noel finds out about the facts, he’d blame himself a lot.

“I’m here with…..Darrell.”

Noel’s steps stopped at the answer she gave while averting his gaze slightly.

Rieta also stopped with him.

A strong sound of rain passed over the umbrella they shared for a while.

Rieta looked up at Noel at an angle.

He looked like he was in shock.

“Brother… why?”

“I think he is trying to teach me something.”

Noel was very suspicious that he had something to teach from doing something like this, but he didn’t bother to say that.

If it was someone’s decision, lest the person he firmly believed in, he had no choice but to follow.

“I can’t help it.”

He sighed heavily.

“Father?”

“He doesn’t know.”

“Yeah, I suppose.”

The Dukawas very strict.

It was clear that he would be very upset to learn that Darrell and Rieta went out of bounds.

“…Ah really, I don’t want to be scolded by Father.”

“I have no intention of dragging in Noel!”

Rieta said so quickly, and then quickly shut her mouth.

Just then, she glanced at other people passing by.

“Young Master just needs to pretend you didn’t see me.”

Noel covered his face as she said in a murmur.

“Driving me crazy……”

That haunting voice made Rieta think about what his anguish might be.

Perhaps, it’s painful to pretend not to know about his brother’s wrongdoings?

“… Young Master, are you okay?”

After asking worriedly, he finally lowered the hand that covered his face.

The expression on his face was somewhat awkward. Like holding back on something.

“It’s okay. So, let’s change those clothes first.”

“My clothes?”

Rieta looked down at her clothes and asked back.

“Yeah, those damn clothes! Because I really don’t think I’ll be able to see it anymore!”

“But I, I don’t have a change of clothes…”

“Yes, so just follow me.”

Noel started walking again at a fast pace.

Rieta followed again without a hitch.

“Among all the things you really do, why did you come dressed like that?”

As he grunted, Rieta only fiddled with her hair.

No, she actually tied all of her hair up, so she wiggled her fingertips near her shoulder for nothing.

“It was because I had a strange pronunciation, so I was trying to choose a status that needed as little talk as possible.”

“I thought so. When I said that I would correct it, you said it was annoying and ran away.”

He glanced at Rieta.

“But Noel isn’t correcting my pronunciation, you grabbed my face and pulled it in pain.”

“It is only with that level of suffering that it can be corrected. Stupid.”

That was utter nonsense.

If this had been the mansion, Rieta would have hit him in the arm.
