“Don’t worry, there’s a natural limit. If you want to build and live in a castle the same size as the Imperial City in the Imperial Capital, I’ll have to ask you to forgive me for not being capable of doing so.” (Alexei)

I don’t know what you’re talking about! That level of treatment is not a limit.

Everyone, please say something to Big Brother!

“I don’t think it’s anything to worry about. I’m sure the young Lady would be more than willing to do something unexpected and spectacularly selfish. Such as wanting to keep an Ancient Dragon in your garden.” (Novak)

…No, Novak-san, that’s not what I’m asking.

Just give Big Brother something to complain about.

Or rather, give him a tsukkomi. Don’t reply to a joke with a joke.

What the heck! I’ll tell you when you’re being grandiose and selfish!

Yoshimoto-san of the previous life!

Please reincarnate a large number of elite tsukkomi as an emergency reaction!

Am I the one who’s strange!?

Something is wrong with Big Brother because he is Siscon. Even so, there’s something wrong with the rest of you.

What is it? Is Siscon an airborne disease in this world?

“Is it Grandfather who thought about keeping an Ancient Dragon in the garden?” (Ekaterina)

“Sometimes he said things like this that I’m not certain how to respond to.” (Alexei)

…I understood from the conversation between Big Brother and Novak-san. The rest of you are the aftermath of Grandfather’s affection. It’s something our grandfather would have done if he had been free with his ideas, so it’s rather welcomed.

The rest of you, well, you’ve been used to the old hag’s stupid spending for years, so maybe you’ll classify the workshop as a decent purchase because of the potential returns….

I think I’ll have to switch gears.

The goal is to develop a glass pen! The real work of this project is yet to come!

I thought it would be impossible to finish it in time for Big Brother’s birthday, but I might be able to make it possible… I’ll do my best to make Big Brother happy.

I’m not going to lose, I’m going to make it to the top!

I don’t know what kind of fight this is, but…!

3rd POV

“So, you had a pleasant time.” (Flora)

It was the beginning of the week. On the way from the girls’ dormitory to the classroom, Flora smiled and said to Ekaterina, who told her about the day she went out with her brother when asked.

“Yes! Big Brother escorted me all the way, and it was a very fun day for me.” (Ekaterina)

Ekaterina replied with a wry smile.

The next day was so intense that the date with her Big Brother was a little less impressive….

But it was a great day, that’s for sure!

“Ekaterina is really close with her Big Brother, so it’s fun to watch.”

The smile of the beautiful girl is soothing.

Flora is a good girl. She’s also a lonely girl, so it won’t be surprising if she’s jealous of the fact that she is alone within her family, but that’s not the case at all.

Flora, who was born and raised in the imperial capital, goes home on weekends to the baron and baroness who took her in. She’s a good cook, and she’s been teaching herself some recipes that would be good to make for lunch.

“I hope you will join us at the mansion this weekend. The roses are still blooming beautifully.”

“Yes, thank you. I’m very excited to be invited to the duke’s mansion.”

Flora said, looking truly happy.
