Five idiot’s sisters came in the new semester.

All of them were full of personality, but the last one I was interested in ―― Julius’ sister.

“I didn’t expect two of Julius’ sisters to enroll. They’re not twins, are they?”

The person I asked as I walked down the hallway was my partner, Luxion, who always has a lot of words to say.

[You’re wrong. Roland is royalty, and he is the king at the top. Milene is his queen, but he also has other women around him.]

Roland, what a cheeky bastard.

To begin with, he was the kind of guy who would call out to anyone he saw as a woman.

I’m convinced there are a lot of kids.

“How is it appropriate for royalty to have unplanned children?”

[There’s a possibility that they could be disinherited like Julius, so it’s important to have a spare.]

“Don’t call the kid a spare.”

[I don’t care about the new humans. I only care about the old humans.]

―― This guy sounds like he’s saying he doesn’t approve of me in a blunt way.

Is the reason why he usually makes fun of me is because I’m a new humans?

Let’s talk about hierarchical relationships once and for all.

As I was thinking that, Julius comes running toward me.

He is wearing a front apron.

“Bartfalt, be a witness!”

“――Ha?”

What is this guy talking about?

Don’t tell me he’s going to start a duel?

◇

Julius brought me to the kitchen.

Sitting in front of a nervous Julius is a girl with long dark blue hair.

She wore a ribbon-like hair band and had an imposing figure.

She has a slender figure and her breasts are neither small nor large.

With long, slender arms and legs and a small face, she looks like a model.

Straightening her back and looking calm, she watches Julius’ hands as he prepares the skewers.

“What is this situation?”

[Apparently, Julius is grilling skewers for his sister.]

Her name is [Ulysses].

She and Julius are half-siblings and half-brother and sister.

This does not seem unusual since they are royalty, but the two do not appear to be close.

I raise my hand to Julius, who earnestly grills skewers, and ask him a question.

“Julius, can I have a word?”

“I am in the middle of something important.”

Julius’ eyes were serious as he looked at the skewers on the net.

Sweat is dribbling down his face, but he doesn’t show any signs of wiping it off.

He is very focused.

I shut my mouth to ask him later, as I didn’t want to interrupt him, but this time his sister opened her mouth.

“Onii-sama ―― would the proprietor of a skewer shop block a customer’s question?”

With her beautiful, well-defined voice, Ulysses-chan chastises Julius for his attitude.

“Concentrate all your energy on the skewer. That’s wonderful, but doesn’t that make you an amateur?”

“N-No, this is”

“I’ll feed you skewers. It was onii-sama who said so. You dare to make me eat skewers grilled by an amateur who does it as a hobby?”

There is something wrong with the atmosphere.

Julius, who is supposed to be her big brother, is getting overwhelmed.

I ask Julius about the situation.

“What is this I am witnessing here? Perhaps a cooking match?”

Julius moves the grilled skewers from the net to the plate.

“You’re wrong. I heard Ulysses liked skewers, so I told her I would feed them to her. Then she changed. She couldn’t take any of my jokes, and I was in trouble.”

It is said that she was originally a calm and gentle princess, but as soon as she started talking about skewers, she changed into a cold princess with a blank expression who would not tolerate any compromise.

The way Ulysses-chan looks at Julius is as harsh as they come.

“How long will you keep me waiting? The skewers will get cold.”

“Y-Yes! ――T-Thank you for your patience.”

Ulysses-chan’s expression does not change when she sees the plate Julius offers her.

She picked up one of the skewers and ate it.

A classy way to eat, shall we say? There may be no such thing as a classy or classy way to eat skewers, but it is a beautiful way to eat them.

However, the pace is fast.

“No way. She’s already eaten her fill!?”

Ulysses-chan finished the six skewers and wiped her mouth with a handkerchief.

However, she had eaten it all.

Julius shows a relieved expression and is stroking his chest.

“Thank goodness. She ate it”

“Guess I didn’t have to be a witness to this.”

Like Julius, she changes completely due to skewers, or she definitely has Roland’s blood.

If it were Milene-san’s bloodline, this would not have happened.

With such prejudice, Ulysses’ eyes widened.

“This dimwit!”

“Hiih!?”

But when Ulysses-chan finished eating, she was furious, as if all this had been a lie.

Julius is frightened.

“The skewering, the fire, none of it even comes close to an acceptable score. And what’s more?　The saltiness is too bad. And the sauce is a store-bought sauce, isn’t it? You dare to make me, a skewers master, eat your skewers with this level of quality? You should be ashamed of yourself! “

“I-I’m so sorry!”

Julius straightened his back and apologized, but I was more concerned about the “Skewers Master”.

What is a skewers master?

“Please step back. Allow me to give you a taste of the real thing, the real skewer, my poor brother.”

As she brushed her hair back and spread it, Ulysses-chan was full of confidence.

Julius bows 90 degrees.

“Thank you very much for your instruction!”

“Only that attitude is worthy of evaluation. Now ―― you are Marquis Bartfalt, right. Thanks for all the help you have given my brother.”

Although Ulysses-chan had a cold attitude toward Julius, she becomes flirtatious in front of me with a sparkle in her eyes.

―― Eh, I’m scared.

“W-What is it?”

I step back, and Ulysses-chan closes the distance between us.

“I heard. It was only with the backing of the Marquis Bartfalt that this fool discovered the allure of skewers and set his sights on becoming a master griller. Then, with the Marquis backing me, there is nothing to be afraid of anymore. Together we will reach out for the future of the skewers! ――Marquis?”

I rushed out of the place.

No good. This girl is no good either.

She is obsessed with skewers.

It’s ―― already too late.

“Please wait, Marquis! Together, the future of skewers~”

“You guys do what you want!”

◇

“Haah ―― Haah ―― I-I got away.”

[I am surprised about a skewer master. But she was an interesting princess.]

“We should be more worried about the future of this country than the future of skewers.”

I’m resting in the back of the school building, and then my big brother ―― Nix, who was supposed to have graduated, appears.

“There he is! Leon, we’re in trouble!”

“Why is aniki here?”

“Because we’re in trouble! Do you remember your uncle?”

“Dad’s little brother, uncle? Well, I remember him.”

I know about my uncle who is a relative, but what does that matter?

“Uncle had an illegitimate child! And he wanted to enroll her in the academy because she was old enough. But she has no education from a knight family. I’m not sure if she will be able to do well here, so I want you to take care of her.”

“――W-What did you say?”

I thought I was free from little sister hell, but apparently I have a relative.
