「So! About that supercharging you were talking about, does it concentrate magic element or does it apply negative pressure….?」

We ended up staying stuck like roots for a while after that. We talked while eating spaghetti, we talked while drinking ale, we talked while eating donuts, we talked while drinking coffee, and we talked while eating donuts again…..

Even though I was only supposed to pick him up, by the time we got to the academy, it was already night.

Tassel-shi and I were made to sit side by side while Professor Marino gave us a very long sermon.

By the way, I had a bad time at home as well. A pouty Laura-san berates me for coming home late.

Well, I’m glad that my research collaborator is someone I can get along with.

My father, my recently married second brother and his wife, and my eldest brother and his first wife were invited to the final rehearsal of the “Ride of the Valkyries” by the Schenker band.

The location was, of course, our free space, the place where the theater is to be built.

「Ugh, it’s cold.」

「That’s why I told you to wear more clothes.」

My eldest brother, Jerstan, is shivering in his open-bosomed clothes and his wife, the head butler’s daughter, is wrapping her own scarf around him.

I had intended not to invite my eldest brother in order to make this look like a wedding present for my second brother but he lay down and rolled in front of the house and complained so I had no choice but to bring him along.

My nephews tried to imitate him and my sister-in-law scolded them. I guess even if they have a bad father, they still can grow to be good people.

Even if my eldest brother was acting like that, my father did not say a thing. As usual, he’s so scared of Laura-san that he just overlooked what his son was doing.

I wonder if I can do something about it.

「Aren’t you cold in such light clothes? 」

「I told you that these are our local clothes. They’re warm because there’s fur inside.」

「No way? Ah, it’s really warm…..」

「You, don’t do that kind of thing in public.」

When my second brother, Shishiriki, and his wife flirted like that in the cold, Laura-san, who finally was able to go out after a long time and was in a good mood, talked to them with interest.

「Excuse me, given how that jacket looks….is sister-in-law from the north?」

「Eh…..? ah……..yea….right…..right desu!」

The former military noble suddenly asked her so my sister-in-law replied in a very scared and timid manner.

「You are from the Slayra territory, aren’t you? Are you from Deoyaika? Or Tsugumanaro? Maybe Tarababara?」

「Ah, that, Tarababara, desu……wait, Slayra? Is it possible that little brother’s wife!?」

「Yeah, I’m the eldest daughter of the Slayra family, before.」

「Hiiii, hiiiiieeee! Please pardon my rudeness!」

「No no」

My second brother and I were surprised to see my sister-in-law suddenly kneeling down and raising her head after in a formal bow. I guess there are some things that only those in the same hometown can understand.

In this place, the lord of the territory is the Snore family.

I’ve actually met them once, at my wedding.

「Hey～, was your wife actually a big shot?」

「It seems so. Though her family is too far away so I have no idea.」

「Fuhn. Ah, my wife said she wanted to give her a gift. I’ll bring it later.」

「Heh, thanks for that.」

My sister-in-law is on the verge of crying while speaking with Laura-san awkwardly. However, my second brother doesn’t seem to notice.

I forcefully hugged Laura-san and said “It will start soon” and listened to the music that had just started playing.

The Ride of the Valkyrie, played especially for my second brother and sister-in-law, sounded high in the sky. My sister-in-law, who had a deep blue complexion, seemed to gradually smile.

Sister-in-law, please take care of my second brother from now on.

A few days later, I peeked at the contents of the jar that my second brother had brought as a gift and I was so shocked to the point that I almost knelt down.

「This is a special product from my wife’s family. It is delicious and savory when put in stir fry.」

「Wai, no, this, seriously?」

「What is it～」

「No, don’t you think anything of it?」

「What do you mean?」

I was so confused that I didn’t realize it at the time but there’s no way my brother, who was born and raised in Torquiva, would think anything of it.

I had only felt something myself because of my previous life.

The black seasoning that was placed in a humble urn was….

Soy sauce, I’m absolutely sure about it.
