Additional report…!?

O, Okaasama was smiling too, but she looked hella scary!?

She and Oniisama are similar in this way… Oh, Oniisama is actually Otousama’s little sister’s child, isn’t he?

Okaasama and Oniisama are not related by blood.

But they have been mother and son all their lives, so I think their little gestures, words, and actions are very similar.

“Oh well, if Marquis Gruzier’s family tries to do something to you again, just let us know. A little squabble like that is not enough reason for us to retaliate.”

“Yes, I know. Tea, if something happens again, you have to let us know, okay?”

“Eh, umm.”

“Even though they are a Marquis family, they are lower in rank compared to our family. Do not let her look down on you.”

“Y, yes…”

That being said… it’s not mature of me to be blindsided by the jealous rantings of a child… no, I’m a child too, now.

“Tea, are you listening?”

“Eh? Umm, erm…”

“You wasn’t listening, huh?”

“… I’m sorry.”

Ugh, Oniisama looked at me tiredly.

“Well, that’s fine. And so… Father, Mother. I told Tea… Cristea, that my heart was beating for her.”

“… Eh.”

Oniisama grasped my hand.

Eh, hey, what are you doing all of sudden!?

“… I see.”

“Oh my!”

“My feelings have not changed since the time I told you about it. If Tea does not find someone else to her liking by the time she comes of age, please give me the chance to court her.”

“Ehhh!?”

Oniisama, wa, wait a minute!?
