"Hey, wait a minute! Federico-nii-san and Orly, say something to this stubborn guy!"
"There's no need for Older Brother and Orlando to listen to this guy. It's just his usual tantrum."
"Hah!? What's with that way of talking? It's so annoying!"
"Ah, Andrea and Bertrand, calm down..."
"Oh, that's right! Ann, you're sensitive to trends, right? I'm thinking of getting Fran a present next time, what would be good?"
"Orly! That's not the time for that!!"
Is this chaos?
I wanted to go home already.
"Hey, Ludo-san. Can I go home now?"
"Ehh. Please stay a little longer. If Rai-sama's gone, it'll be completely unmanageable, you know?"
"I don't think it'll be manageable even if I'm here."
"Then let me rephrase. It won't be fun, so let's be together?"
"Ugh, Ludo-san's true feelings are terrible."
In the end, I was prevented from leaving this tea party by Ludo-san, the mischief-maker who was enjoying my reaction to the chaotic brothers.
While I was feeling a little, no, quite depressed and watching that exchange, Federico-nii-sama was throwing glances at me as if asking for help.
I don't know. You're the older brother, so try your best. Don't pass it on to me.
Perhaps Federico-nii-sama noticed the meaning of my gaze, his face became tragic.
............Ugh. I don't want you to make that abandoned dog-like face.
"Seriously! Brothers, please stop it!! Did you come here to fight!? Or did you come here for a tea party!?"
"Ehh, I want to ask what kind of present would be good for Fran."
"Orlando-nii-sama, think for yourself! You're the one who knows Fran-sama's tastes the best, and Fran-sama would definitely be happier with something that Orlando-nii-sama chose himself, right!?"
"Ehehe, do you think so~?"
Andrea-nii-sama and Bertrand-nii-sama, who had stopped arguing at my words, limited themselves to glaring at each other again.
And Orlando-nii-sama, who had closed his mouth, now began to desperately think about a present for Fran-sama.
And Federico-nii-sama, who was looking at me with an adoring gaze.
His figure was starting to look like a large dog.
Andrea-nii-sama is a small dog, a Pomeranian.
He uses his adorable appearance to spread friendliness and advance diplomacy well, but he's also proud and barks at Bertrand-nii-sama.
Bertrand-nii-sama is a cat. Probably a Maine Coon or something like that.
He wanders around on his own and lives freely. He probably thinks that the Pomeranian is not cute and noisy.
Orlando-nii-sama is a Ragdoll. He seems to like being petted by people, but he also has a cat-like free spirit.
By the way, Ludo-san is 100% a cat. And a mischievous one.
He's a mischief-maker.
I want healing. I want healing.
Just when my eyes were about to die, I heard a soft knock on the door of Federico-nii-sama's private room.
Federico-nii-sama, who had been winked at by Ludo-san, nodded, and Ludo-san called out with a cheerful voice.
"Yes. Please come in."
"E-Excuse me."
"We apologize for intruding."
The voices I heard were from people I knew well.
"Oh? Lord Giancarlo and Lord Giovanni? This is rare~. For you two to come to Lord Federico's room. Is something the matter?"
"Um, we heard that Rai was having tea with Federico-nii-ue..."
"I know that it's rude to participate without an invitation. But, would it be alright if we participated for a little while...?"
When I glanced at Federico-nii-sama, he seemed to be somewhat happy.
To be specific, the wrinkles between his eyebrows were one less than usual.
However, the expressions of Gian-nii-sama and John-nii-sama, who were being looked at, were stiff.
"Brother Gian, Brother John........!!"
I immediately ran over to the two of them and jumped into Gian-nii-sama's arms.
"Whoa. Rai? What's wrong?"
"Gian-nii-sama replenishment... I'll replenish with John-nii-sama later..."
Gian-nii-sama, who had been puzzled at first at my actions, softened his expression and hugged me back tightly at my words.
"Fufu! Then I'll give you lots of hugs. Hug~!"
"Hug~!!"
How's that, that's the innocence of a six-year-old!
After clinging to Gian-nii-sama for a while, I let go of Gian-nii-sama in order to hug John-nii-sama next.
".........Come on, you're going to replenish me next, right?"
John-nii-sama, who was blushing slightly while spreading his arms, is handsome, I think.
He's popular with women. He's popular regardless of being a shen player.
I clung tightly to John-nii-sama as well.
Besides, John-nii-sama's hug comes with a pat on the back.
As I was recovering my SAN points like that, I noticed that the room had become strangely quiet.
"Eh, what's with those faces?"
Everyone had an expression as if they were seeing something unbelievable.
"Huh? Rai-sama is just acting like a normal six-year-old...?"
".........He doesn't act so spoiled with me.........?"
"Giancarlo and Giovanni are good friends with Rai..."
"Ugh.........I knew it, but I want to be spoiled by my younger brother too.........!! Giovanni and Giancarlo, I envy you!!"
Bertrand-nii-sama couldn't stop Andrea-nii-sama, who had slammed his fist on the table again, this time either.
What I'm trying to say is,
"I also act spoiled when I act spoiled. I'm still a child."
I'm six years old, okay? I have memories of my past life, but I'm still six years old, okay?
I don't have an obligation to act as a lubricant between my brothers, okay?
"Brother Bertrand becomes single-minded when it comes to magic, right?"
"Guh. That's, that's right."
"It's also the first time I've talked properly with Andrea-nii-sama and Orlando-nii-sama today, and both of you can't see what's going on around you when you're talking about yourselves, right?"
".........It's painful that I can't deny it."
"Ehh, is that so~?"
"Federico-nii-sama is......... well, how should I put it......... He's someone who you can't leave alone, more of someone who you want to support than someone you want to be spoiled by. Yeah. I think he's good as the Crown Prince. It's a talent in a sense."
"Am I........being praised, or scolded?"
Federico-nii-sama didn't seem to know how to react to my words.
"Hey, that evaluation of Federico, is it good as the Crown Prince?"
Ludo-san also had a subtle expression.
"Isn't it good? A country is something that everyone makes together. Even if you're talented, a king who doesn't have the talent to attract people is synonymous with incompetent. That's why we need someone in charge, but isn't it good to have a king who everyone wants to help? In that respect, Federico-nii-sama is a gifted talent, right? Of course, I'll also help Federico-nii-sama when he becomes king?"
"............Ludo, my little brother is cool."
"Hyuuu. Rai-sama is wonderful~."
"Wow. Thank you for the monotone reading, Ludo-san. Now, Brother Gian and Brother John, drink some tea, so make some space. I want to be fixed between the two of you!"
