"- How can your sister say such a teeth-floating line in peace anymore, so awesome!

I'm half panicked and I'll say it back to your sister.

"Haha. I'm used to it."

"Are you used to... to confessing love?

"Oh. I don't even know how many times I've whispered to our samurai, and even recently I've just spoken up students at school."

"Do you like me?

I have something creepy in my chest that I ask in a disgruntled voice.

"Don't worry, Fari. There's never been anything I can do before, but you're the only woman I ever wanted to dedicate myself to."

"No, no, I don't think that's the problem..."

Apparently, your sister is a woman for a long time.

I won't even try to hide that my lover is still apart, saying that he has always liked me.

Maybe that's what it is. For your sister.

In fact, bigamy is the norm among the nobles of this country.

Even if you are not a parent, you may welcome more than one woman into your daughter-in-law.

Still, only one person enters the daughter-in-law, in many forms.

I mean, your sister made a lot of lovers in her position as an ex-daughter, but only against me.

It feels dishonest in terms of previous life's knowledge, but it's not that strange in this world.

But I think it's unusual to be as grand as your sister.

It is also a little out of common sense in this world to say something grandiose about being related to a large number of women, even though they are not yet married.

"... Anyway, I know how your sister feels. But I..."

"No, you don't have to say any more."

Your sister blocks me from responding to a confession.

"I'm going to know the answer. Fari likes Master Ligret, doesn't he?

"... Yes. Exactly."

"Besides, I understand Fari's personality very well. I know you're not the type to make a couple of lovers."

"Sister..."

I mean, your sister knew I was gonna turn down the confession.

And yet, why have you been confessing?

"What I was trying to say, Fari. There are plenty of people who care about Fari. Besides Master Ligret, there are people close to me who love Farri. I'm sure you'll meet a lot of people like that in the future. I want you to remember where you are."

Someone who cares about me.

Is there... really, a lot of people like that?

Even if it's your sister's word, it's not easy to believe all that.

"... well, you can't believe me, I'm not saying"

Your sister must have seen my expression and guessed what she was thinking.

I laugh bitterly, I say.

"Anyway, that's what I was trying to say. Nothing. I didn't expect a plunder love from Master Ligret, and I wasn't going to get a reply. So we're done talking about this."

When I say it, your sister puts her hand on my head and gently strokes me.

"And then you can think for yourself."

- The words stabbed me deeply in the heart and were heavy on me.
