After unintentionally killing Ferrado in a heroic manner.

Steve ran in a hurry.

To my sister, Estee.

“Hehe, hehe… Sister!!!”

“Ugh… Huh?”

“Steve?”

Esti was doing stretching exercises before going to sleep in the vain hope that she would grow taller even at this moment.

Crow, who was happily wagging his tail today as well, helped with that.

While the two’s gazes were fixed on each other.

Stier asked right away.

“Sister, do you like girls!!!?”

“What.”

Estee, first time in my life I hear suspicions of being homosexual.

It was so unexpected that I froze in the same position I was stretching in.

In a pose that perfectly matches the sound effect of ‘Kwaaang!’, just like a threatening red panda.

In front of her, who was still stiff, Stier began to speak hurriedly.

“That, sis, did you do Chuchu without me? With Shepor and that annoying kid. And that pink one over there!!”

“Wh, what kind of blasphemous thing is that!! How can I be with the saint!!!”

While Esti was stunned, Crow was the first to react.

His face turned bright red and he was so angry that he lost his temper.

… And yet, he was secretly looking at Esti, as if she too was curious about the answer.

“… … .”

‘What did I just hear… Me kissing them?’

Silence passed like that for a few seconds.

Esti’s stopped thought circuit was barely restarted.

‘Aha. This kid is talking nonsense again.’

“You did it this morning and now you’re doing it again. Where did you pick up what this time?”

You’ve been hearing weird stuff again. Tell me straight. Who are you?

Stierga covered her buttocks with thought.

“Ma, don’t tell!! It’s an absolute secret!!!”

“You want to get a flat butt again… .”

“Heee!! It’s okay since it’s about my sister!! I would never have told anyone else!!”

She was so scared that she covered her butt and trembled.

Esti awkwardly lowered the hand she had raised.

I felt sorry for him because he was so scared…

It was okay to ask only to confirm with yourself, not someone else.

‘…Did I overreact?’

“Okay, okay, so stop. I won’t hit your butt, so put your hands away.”

“… Really?”

“Yeah, yeah. I’m sorry, Sister. I scared you.”

Heartfelt apologies followed.

I’m sorry I overreacted because of the morning routine.

What’s the point of just apologizing with words? The hug was a bonus.

Flowers bloomed on Stier’s face.

“Hehe, forgive me~!”

‘Why is our steak so sloppy?’

“Yeah. So, why did you ask that?”

“I want to play Chuchu with my sister too!”

“… … .”

Don’t you ever get tired of it?

At this thought, Estee frowned involuntarily.

“Oh my… Didn’t you say that? That’s something you do with people you’re getting married to. But do you think you did it?”

“But… .”

“Sister, I won’t give your lips to anyone else ever, so wake up from your dream~.”

The declaration of no romance, or ‘no manse’ for short, to not date anyone is a bonus.

Stier and Crow were shocked at the same time.

“That, that’s right… .”

“Forever… ?”

[… Hehe♡]

“… … ?”

——Meanwhile, only Estee could hear the laughter.

His eyes, which had grown large, looked around intently.

What, I thought I heard Irene laughing just now.

That was a very sexy, very dirty sound.

…is it because of my mood?

‘Hey, it must be my imagination. Irene doesn’t laugh like that.’

“Anyway. And, they haven’t kissed yet. … I guess there’s someone they want to kiss. Hehe.”

After thinking that I had misheard the laughter that I suddenly heard.

Estee naturally changed the subject.

My biggest interest and long-cherished wish: the marriage between couples.

The two who were completely dead didn’t seem particularly interested.

-Mumble mumble.

“Is that so… The Saintess, forever… .”

“Louis idiot, rice cake… liar… .”

“… … ?”

The two of them hung their heads and muttered gloomily.

Even at first glance, it seemed as if he had not even listened to Estee’s words.

but…

Estee. A child who can’t use her legs when it comes to hair.

She perked up her ears at the word she had just heard.

“Louis? What the… all of a sudden. ”

‘… My little brother realized it too? Well, the two of them really get along well.’

Esti, whose head was full of thoughts, laughed heartily.

I thought that since Stier had similar tastes to me, I was sure Woogyul would like it too.

A soft voice penetrated Stier’s ears.

“Hehe. My little brother noticed too? Irene and Louis, they have feelings for each other!”

“… … Huh?”

What are you talking about all of a sudden, sis?

The eyes that contained this meaning were turned towards my sister.

Esti gave a passionate speech.

“Actually, you can see it right away, right? Their eyes were strange from the first time they met! Irene was lying down, so Louis showed up like a prince on a white horse…!!”

“… … ?”

The speech went on for a long time about how well the two of them fit together.

Her quickened speech and clenched hands showed how serious she was about her decision.

Stier’s head tilted.

‘Him and Louis…? I don’t think so… .’

* * *

After the long speech.

Stier, who just got out of the Woogyul Coin promotion event.

She headed straight for somewhere.

A room where the girl smells a lot like her older sister, but it’s strangely unpleasant, so I can put up with it.

That is, it was Irene’s room.

-dripping.

“Irene~ Iriin~.”

“… Mr. Sti?”

Even though it was almost time to go to sleep, Irene opened the door as soon as there was a knock.

Her eyes, shining ominously, turned towards Stier.

-Gulp.

‘They really look exactly the same. Ha, really. If only the princess had been like him, I would have definitely… .’

…a strangely ominous gaze.

This was because of what Irene went through today.

-Rub, rub. Rub, rub.

[… Huh!?]

After he crushed himself naked in the professor’s office yesterday.

Doesn’t the princess touch my body whenever she gets a chance?

It’s basic to secretly pat someone’s butt in the hallway.

During class, he put his hand up my skirt and rubbed my inner thigh, and said that was too much for him to handle.

He even went so far as to touch my chest to see if there was a stain on my clothes.

It was clearly sexual harassment.

[Okay, okay? You don’t have to say thank you~.]

‘What is this? Are you telling me to say thank you?’

[Oh, thank you?]

[Really, I told you we don’t have to do that between us? Please feel free to ask me in the future!]

[Yes, yes…]

First, what could Irene, a mere commoner, say?

She just had to endure it for a day.

Estee’s sexual harassment.

[Princess♡ Please check if I got something on my butt again♡]

[I think I’ve gained too much fat on the inside of my thighs lately. Can you touch it and tell me what it’s like?♡]

[I think something splashed under my chest while I was eating earlier, but I couldn’t see it♡ Please take a look♡]

‘You’ve been acting up so much since yesterday… Our Irene, do whatever you want!’

In fact, Estee only listened to Irene’s voice’s request.

I didn’t even think about it as sexual harassment.

How would Irene know?

That my voice, which had melted completely, was only heard by Esti’s ears.

That the voice had impersonated herself and sexually harassed Esti.

That’s why the way she looked at Stier was so ominous.

-Obviously.

‘I know you’re catching the tough ones, but why don’t you just close your eyes and have an accident? You’ll get your pride back.’

“If you want to sleep with me… .”

“———Do you like Louis?”

“… … ?”

The strangeness that had been shining in his eyes disappeared with just one word from Stier.

Louis? You like someone whose body is female and whose mind is completely male? Me?

…it’s crazy?

“Am I crazy? … Ah.”

‘I was so shocked that I was speechless.’

It’s so absurd that my true nature bursts out for a moment.

I was so surprised that I covered my mouth.

Luckily, Steve didn’t care.

“Huh? Yeah, I see… ?”

‘It’s different from what you said, sister?’

“… … Phew. Why are you asking that?”

“That’s it, my sister… sigh!!”

Stier, whose head was complicated, blurted out her sister’s name.

His face turned pale and he covered his mouth.

He even shook his head as if he hadn’t said anything.

Telling a secret means hanging around until your butt gets flat, so I appealed by saying, “I didn’t say anything!”

Then Irene realized.

‘Why did the princess make him do this… Did she think I was flirting with him?’

With wide eyes in shock.

Her memories went back in time.

Ferrado confesses to Esti.

To the day Louis fought him.

[Do you know how much you have hurt the princess…]

[Yes. So, I have to protect Esti until her wounds heal.]

‘I’m sure he treated me better after that day…’

That day, the way she looked at Louis changed 180 degrees.

From a bad guy who wouldn’t even touch the princess when she took off her clothes and approached him, to a childhood friend who couldn’t approach him because he knew his own mistakes.

That’s why Irene took good care of him after that.

It would have been difficult to turn him back into a man, as those who were looking for the witch were concerned…

Or steep the tea leaves in the pain-relieving magic she uses every time she has her period.

It helped me in some way to be with Estee.

… What would that have looked like to the princess?

When I asked her to help me connect with my man, didn’t it seem like she was just wagging her tail instead?

After enduring it for so long, I finally exploded. It was something that had been tormenting me yesterday and today.

It was a reasonable inference for her.

The princess suddenly sexually harassed him and sent Stier to test his feelings.

If it all stemmed from a misunderstanding that she liked Louis, then I could understand.

… If Estee heard this, she would be bewildered and say, ‘Huh? Me?’, but anyway.

‘I should tell you clearly now.’

“Princess? You didn’t know… Actually, Princess, you like Prince Louis.”

“Huh?”

Irene expressed her opinion.

I believe that what I say to Stier will be conveyed to the princess’s ears.

The whole world knows that the princess loves Louis.

But would I ever dream of such a dream?

I don’t have even a single bit of love for Louis.

… and honestly, Louis isn’t even my type.

It was an honest and sincere sincerity.

Stier’s head tilted.

“…? Sister, Louis?”

‘My sister said that you and Louis get along well?’

“Yes. I just support the love between the two of you.”

‘Go and tell her. I don’t know if she’s the princess, but I have no interest in her. So she should take care of herself.’

* * *

After talking with Irene.

Stier finally turned to Shepor.

“I asked Louis and Ferrado. Did they kiss? They said no?”

“… … !!!!? Why are you telling them that… .”

“It’s okay, I kept your name a secret! I just wanted to kiss you, but I asked if guys do that.”

“Ah… then.”

“Then he totally hated it.”

I can’t say anything because the other things are secrets, but it’s not really a secret that the two of you didn’t kiss.

Since I’m already here, I want to tell you something.

“Anyway! They didn’t kiss!”

“… So it’s true. Mr. Ferrado and Prince Louis, they’re like that!!”

“… Huh?”

“Originally strong negation is positive!! Ah, as expected, the two of you… .”

… Shepor, already deeply delusional, did not believe it.

After making a fuss for a while, he just grows up well and goes into his room.

“It turned out like this, I have no choice but to fight… Miss Stiie, I’m busy, so that’s all for now!! Good night!!”

-Squeak. Thud.

An empty hallway.

However, there is a hallway connected to everyone’s room.

Stee was left alone and dumbfounded on top of a tangled intersection of illusions.

“Huh.”

‘Why are they all different?’

She tilted her head.

Before long, a bright smile appeared.

‘Hmm… Ah! I guess everyone is misunderstanding!’

-Hehe.

‘I have to help you! And I’m asking you to give me Chuchu as a reward!!’
