Volume 8, Chapter 1: Prologue
Endlessly, the preaching of Fudo Myoo, my guardian deity, and Old Tree Man continues.
I'm forced to sit in seiza position, my legs going numb.
"Isn't it the environment and parents or teachers who shape a person's personality, rather than the person themselves?" I said with a smile, which seems to have been a mistake.
But you know, unless you've been reborn as a protagonist in a novel and come thinking, "Alright, I'll do this!" like in those isekai stories, isn't your personality shaped by your environment and education?
What should I do?
"Well, isn't it a bit much to use your cruel aunts for that, Apolito-san?" Mitsuki's tone is more severe.
Apolito looks conflicted beside me.
"Because if we don't, Apolito will be targeted again," I chuckled.
"I see, with this, Apolito-san won't be targeted anymore," Princess Miyabi seemed to agree.
"Well, Aunties were thrilled," Mitsuki also seems to have come around.
"With this, Apolito-san can be protected, and considering the favor they owe to the aunties, it's like killing two birds with one stone," Aoi smiled.
"Indeed, it's quite a strategy, Lord Yuuki," Murasaki added with a smile.
"As expected of you, Yuuki-sama," even Murasaki had a wide grin.
Leaving behind the perplexed Apolito and Colonel Kunito, Aoi, Princess Miyabi, Mitsuki, and Murasaki nodded approvingly multiple times.
"No, that's not it!" Jurojin Tree Elder shouted.
"You have to consider Carlos I's position as well, don't you?" Fudo Myoo said.
"Isn't it fine as the result of a serious love match?" I answered with a smile.
Aoi, Princess Miyabi, Mitsuki, and Murasaki also nodded.
Jurojin Tree Elder and Fudo Myoo are wearing impressive expressions.
"Isn't Yamato's bunch odd?" Jurojin Tree Elder muttered.
"Back then, it wasn't like this," Fudo Myoo murmured sadly.
"The odd ones are only the Yamato royal family and major nobles," Colonel Kunito asserted.
"No, I'm just normal," I retorted.
"Huh?"
Everyone made shocked expressions.
"Sorry, but it's about the environment and education. There's a saying 'The character of triplets remains the same for a hundred years.' It's too late to change now," I said confidently.
"Has this personality been like this since the past?" Jurojin Tree Elder asked Mitsuki.
"Yes, it's been like this since the past," Mitsuki confirmed.
"Isn't
When Jurojin Tree Elder said this, Fudo Myoo, with a serious expression, crossed his arms.
"You'll be fine, Lord Yuuki," Murasaki said, coming to sit on my left, while I'm still in seiza.
"Well, my brother should be alright," Mitsuki added, putting her hand on my right shoulder.
"I think so too," Aoi also smiled brightly.
"Sorry. Can you please stop with the 'Kyahahaufufu' next to me, Papa?" Colonel Kunito grumbled.
"Well, think about it, Colonel Kunito. When you look at it calmly, isn't it possible that that child is Char's son?"
"What do you mean?"
Colonel Kunito looked puzzled.
"In other words, you're not Char right now."
"Oh, so I'm not Dad."
Colonel Kunito seemed delighted.
"Don't mess around!"
Jurojin Tree Elder and Fudo Myoo got angry.
"In the end, isn't everything in Yamato messed up?"
Apolito sighed.
"This is bad. This is
