" The Unreachable Flowers " was the nickname for those three girls because the young nobles found it extremely difficult to approach them, even Julian, the first prince was unable to win their favor. This was due to a stipulation set by their fathers, who were brothers.

Currently, Lina, the white-haired girl, who is one of the heroines, is engaged to Damian, a talented young man who was recognized by the kingdom before Tristan. He is a childhood friend of the three of them and has fallen in love with Lina. Thanks to the recognition of his talent and their mutual feelings, Duke Caelbright approved of their relationship.

There's Elira Cindervale, the red-haired girl who always wears her hair in a ponytail. She is one of the strongest female sword users in the game. Elira loves Lina and Luna as if they were her little sisters, even though she is actually only a few weeks older than them. She isn't the main heroine, but she once had feelings for Tristan back at the academy. After finding out that Lina liked Tristan, Elira chose to back down. She hates Damian intensely for hurting Lina.

Lastly, there's Luna Skyvale, the bright blue-haired girl next to Lina, and she is my favorite character. There are indeed a few other characters whose beauty rivals hers, like Sylvia. But for an unknown reason, I feel happy whenever Luna appears. The reason I often play Lina's route is because of her. Luna isn't interested in Tristan, and has never shown interest in any man in the game. Just like Elira, she also hates Damian.

And right now, they are right in front of me…

"Beautiful..." I thought.

Seeing them in person is truly heart-pounding. Especially Luna, every time my heart pounds when I look at her, I have to use [Absolute Immunity] just to keep my face calm. This is our first meeting, so I have to make a good impression. But... how do I approach them? I couldn't possibly just walk up and say hello.

Hmm? Wait, are they looking at me? Or not?

"Sis Lina! Sis Elira! Sis Luna!" My sister's voice, who was beside me, broke my reverie. She called out to them while waving cheerfully at the three girls.

The three girls noticed our presence. The three of them waved back as they walked closer, each with a different smile, Lina and Luna with their gentle smiles, and Elira with her confident one.

"Rosaline..." Elira called out as our distance closed.

I turned to my sister.

"So... these are the friends from the noble party you told me about?" I whispered softly, trying to keep my voice down so they wouldn't hear.

"Yes, Big Bro," Rosaline replied cheerfully with a wide smile. "They are all very nice, you know!"

I could only nod slowly. But inside, I was struggling hard to keep my expression calm. The three of them were now standing just a few steps in front of us. Their smiles were warm, and the elegant and gentle aura surrounding them truly made the atmosphere around me feel different. Rosaline stepped forward enthusiastically, waving her small hand.

"Sis Lina, Sis Elira, Sis Luna! It's so great to see you again!"

"It's great to see you too, Rosaline. It's been a while, hasn't it?" Lina replied, smiling gently.

"Yes!" Rosaline answered cheerfully, then turned to me with excitement. "Oh, right! This is my big brother, Adrian Melvian."

I flinched slightly as all eyes turned to me.

"It's a pleasure to meet you. I am Adrian Melvian, Rosaline's older brother and the first son of Count Melvian," I said, giving a noble's greeting.

But as soon as I looked at them again

The atmosphere suddenly fell silent. The three girls froze. Lina blinked a few times, her face tensed before changing into an awkward smile. Elira, who usually looked confident, was silent, her eyes staring at me intently as if she was assessing something. And Luna, who looked calm, blinked several times before she quickly turned her face away, looking in another direction with slightly pink cheeks.

"I-Is something wrong...?" I asked carefully.

"Ah, no! Not at all!" Lina answered quickly, her voice a little too high.

"We just... didn't expect Rosaline's brother... to be so handsome." Elira covered her mouth with her hand, pretending to cough to hide her smile.

"Is that so? Thank you," I responded to the compliment with a smile.

When I gave them a smile, the three of them flinched slightly, as if not expecting it.

But before anyone could add anything, Rosaline tugged lightly at the hem of her skirt and did a small twirl on the spot.

"Hehe... In that case, now it's my turn to ask for an opinion!" she said cheerfully.

"What do you think? The dress I'm wearing is nice, right? Big Bro was the one who said it suited me when I chose it!"

Luna chuckled softly. "Regardless, your choice is excellent, Rosaline. The red color is soft and matches your hair color."

Elira and Lina nodded in agreement, their gazes soft.

"The cut is also perfect. Adrian was right, that dress really suits you."

I let out a small sigh and smiled faintly.

"See? I was just telling the truth."

Rosaline blushed happily.

"Hehe... Big Bro really knows how to give compliments."

...

After chatting with the three girls for a while, Rosaline looked at me with a cheerful smile.

"Big Bro, let's go, now it's time to find clothes for you!" she said, grasping my hand lightly.

"See you at the party later, Sis Lina! Sis Elira! Sis Luna!" Rosaline said, waving her hand.

I looked at them for a moment, saw them wave back, then turned to Rosaline.

"Alright, let's go." Rosaline held my hand for a moment, then pulled me towards the men's clothing area.

Along the way, she chattered cheerfully about colors and styles of clothing that would suit me, while I just smiled and listened.

"Ah, Big Bro, don't be so lazy. Shopping is supposed to be fun, right?" she said, looking at me with sparkling eyes. I sighed, but couldn't help but smile.

"Yeah, yeah. Let's take a look, Rosaline."
