Betrothed to My Sister's Ex

【The Fate of That Blood】

"By the way, it wasn't mentioned before, but what kind of person was Mio's mother...?"

"Mother... Ah, she was the wife of that gigantic creature. According to a letter that arrived later, she was born on the Shaina Central Continent, and her name is Yui. She was originally a hired assassin for the lightning gorilla gorillaside."

"I-I see, so she was quite a notable figure as well."

"The first time she met Mr. Stronger was when she attacked him. Well, after various things happened between them, some kind of romance developed. Now, she has left the gorilla faction and is living peacefully."

"If she's still alive, she should just show her face."

"She's a former inhabitant of the darkness. However, she occasionally sneaks into Granado Castle to check on her daughter—that is, me."

"I see... sneaking into Granado Castle... Wait!?"

"I didn’t notice for over twenty years either. But now that I know she exists, I’ve become able to sense her presence. I promise to capture her soon."

"Mio, aren’t you starting to accept just about anything now?"

【Song for Marie】

"Marie’s tone-deafness definitely comes from her home environment, right? So what about that elder sister?"

"No, Elder sister Anastasia was taught many things as part of her education for marrying into nobility."

"Oh, right. Before Marie was old enough to understand, 'sasha the heroine' was around, so the household was financially stable."

"Yes. Even without that, she was naturally lively, always singing and dancing. I believe she was also good at painting—just like Father."

"...Father?"

"Yes. Didn’t I tell you? Father was good at that kind of thing. When he was in a good mood, his humming was really skillful, and on nights with a beautiful moon, he often played the viola..."

"Sorry, Ms. Marie, this might not be the right time to laugh, but I have to laugh once."

【Elder Sister’s Fluffy Hair】

"Elder sister has had long hair since I was little, so her new look feels kind of strange now."

"That’s right. She cut it all off to feel lighter, which is fine, but because of her curly hair, it exploded all over. The weight of the back hair had been holding it down."

"No, that hairstyle is very lovely! Her shining hair spreads out in all directions like the queen of the night flower that blooms only once a year on the full moon night."

"Marie, you’re probably serious, but to me, it looks like an overgrown dandelion."

"Ha ha, to me it looks like an exceptionally hairy chick."

"To me, it looks like a clump of dust that came out from behind the cabinet we moved for the first time in years."

"What do you all think someone’s head is anyway?"
