“—Hey. Ask. Wake up.”

“Mm…?”

Early in the morning, when I woke up, a Siberian Husky was shaking my body.

And not just any Siberian Husky.

It was a massive Siberian Husky, easily two and a half meters tall.

“Siberian Husky…”

“Are you still half asleep? I'm Gal, your roommate.”

“…Gal. Oh, it's you, Gal.”

“What's ‘oh it's me' supposed to mean?”

I lifted my heavy eyelids and sat up.

“Still sleepy… what's up? It's not breakfast time yet, right?”

“There's an unbelievably beautiful girl waiting for you in front of the boys' dorm.”

“Huh? An unbelievably beautiful girl?”

“Yep. Huge chest too.”

“Huge chest…?”

Three names immediately popped into my head.

The twin princesses, Christina and Victoria, and human-form Lucan. But Lucan usually keeps her shark form to avoid attention, so maybe she's not a candidate.

I opened the window to check in front of the boys' dorm, and there was my sister, her chest noticeably enhanced.

“She's really padded it today. First day of school, so she's going all out, huh?”

“Padded? What are you talking about? …Wait, that's your sister? …Now that you mention it, you do look quite similar.”

Well, if it's my sister, I can ignore it.

“Okay, goodnight.”

“Going back to sleep!?”

“I want ten hours of sleep a day. Sleep is the foundation of health.”

“That's way too much, isn't it?”

Just then, there was a sudden thud. I looked toward the window and… my sister was there.

“I felt your gaze, Ask. So it was this room, huh?”

“This is the second floor… you climbed up here?”

“Nothing's impossible for your Onee-chan. Now hurry up and change into your uniform.”

“It's barely morning. School hasn't even started yet. So I was planning on enjoying a comfortable second sleep—ow, ow, ow.”

“Q—U—I—C—K—L—Y—”

My sister grabbed my head with one hand and lifted me up effortlessly.

My neck's going to stretch.

“Alright, alright, let go of my hand.”

“…Hurry up. I'll be waiting in front of the dorm.”

“Okay.”

She released me and left the room through the window.

Gal, who had witnessed the whole scene, trembled as if he had seen something terrifying.

“Your sister's beautiful, but scary. My tail went flat.”

“She's actually in a good mood today. Normally she'd have dragged me out by force.”

“Scary…”

“Well, I guess I should get dressed and head out.”

I changed into my uniform and stepped outside.

“Let's head to the student council room quickly.”

“Why?”

“…We talked about it yesterday, remember?”

“Sorry, yesterday I was too excited about the dinner's barbecue curry set to pay attention—ow, ow, ow.”

Again, Nee-san grabbed my face and began talking with a sigh.

I just want her to let go before she speaks.

“You know Princess Christina has become student council president, right?”

“Ah, yes. Royalty are allowed to be president even in their first year, right? That sounds tough.”

“That Princess Christina appointed me as vice president of the student council.”

“The student council really want to throw the school into chaos.”

“Did you say something?”

“As expected of my ultra-ultimate-super-beautiful Nee-san!! Being appointed vice president is a perfect opportunity to show everyone how amazing you are!!”

Her grip on my face loosened a bit.

“The student council was created so high-ranking nobles can experience pseudo-governance. Usually, dukes or marquises take the roles, so I initially wanted to decline.”

“You couldn't refuse?”

“Yes. I thought about refusing because it would reduce the time I spend with you—uh, I mean, because I have to take care of you. But then she said she wanted to be with you too.”

“What!?”

I understand my sister.

Christina, the older twin princess, admires her. But why involve me in the student council?

Even though I'm from the prestigious Medicus viscount family known for healing magic, I'm the incompetent leftover of my sister. Basically useless. Isn't appointing me a misuse of authority?

“I won't be able to do anything even if I get a position.”

“You'll be the council secretary. It's mostly a nominal position handling minor tasks. Just do as you're told.”

“Well, that's fine then.”

“And today's the entrance ceremony, right?”

“So, we go to the student council room to prepare?”

“Yes. The council's role in the ceremony is minor—it's just a meet-and-greet this time.”

The student council gets busy early in the morning, huh.

So, still with my face held by my sister, I went to the student council room.

Inside, Princess Christina sat on a chair, and Victoria was napping on a sofa.

“Sorry for being late, Princess Christina.”

“Good morning, Fran-sama. It's fine, today's just a meet-and-greet.”

“Mmm… so full already…”

Ah, Victoria is sound asleep on the sofa.

I'll nap on the sofa too.

“Hey, hey, Ask!! Don't take a nap in the student council room!!”

“Fufu, it's fine. We're the ones who woke you up early, and Victoria's asleep too.”

“I-I'm sorry.”

Truly, a princess with a generous heart.

I sat on the sofa opposite Victoria and allowed myself a nap.

Just then, a few students arrived late to the council room. Leading them was a handsome young man who bowed gracefully.

“Good morning, Christina.”

“…Good morning, Duke Arnal's son.”

“Stop being so formal. Aren't we engaged?”

“Ex-fiancé.”

“The king hasn't formally announced the engagement's end yet, right? We're still engaged.”

Whoa, why do I feel visceral disgust even though he's handsome?

Christina kept smiling as she spoke.

“Save your sleep-talk for when you're asleep.”

“Harsh. I love you.”

“Fufu, you just like my face and body, don't you?”

I don't know why, but Christina's eyes don't smile with her grin—it's kind of scary.

“…I have a generous heart. I'll forgive a fiancé's minor rudeness, and even overlook the fact you forced two lower-ranked nobles into the council instead of me.”

“I see. Then could those who aren't on the council please leave?”

Eh?

Isn’t this duke’s son, Arnal or an*l, not part of the student council?

I thought he was because he barged in with a group of people in the morning.

After he left, my sister muttered quietly.

“…Duke Arnal's son wasn't conscripted into the student council, huh.”

“Yes. After abandoning me when I was sick, now pretending to be my fiancé… disgusting.”

The princess's words are harsh.

“But the engagement still continues, right?”

“…Father said he'd consider breaking it if I had someone I loved. But the only person I yearn for is No-Face.”

“Oh… I see.”

My sister twitched slightly.

I thought she was just looking for ‘No-Face' to thank him, but she seems genuinely in love…

“Well, even so, you can't marry someone you can't find, Princess Christina.”

“That's not the case!!”

“Huh?”

“Secretly, Victoria was kidnapped by bandits recently.”

“Ah… I see.”

My sister knew because I already told her about Victoria's kidnapping. She looked hilariously flustered.

“When she was rescued, No-Face said, ‘There's a clue in the magic academy.' Victoria heard that!! Maybe something here is connected to him!!”

“!?”

“I will find him and bring him into the royal family!! Fran-sama, will you help with the investigation!?”

“I-I will cooperate if you command it…”

Nee-san glared at me sharply.

Better to pretend to still be asleep. Also, Victoria overhearing my muttering was an unforgivable mistake.

“Even so, otherwise they'll make me marry Duke Arnal's son. Can't something be done?”

“Hm, I'll hear your story.”

“Oh, Victoria? You've woken up already?”

Victoria sat up from the sofa, rubbing her sleepy eyes.

“I have a brilliant idea.”

“Brilliant idea?”

“If Princess Christina and Fran's little brother, Ask, start dating.”

“““Eh?”””

The student council room fell silent at Victoria's words.

…Wait, what does that even mean?
