“Hahaha. Haha, Hahaha……”

As I started to burst into laughter, the maid’s face also changed to look as if it was about to cry, and after saying she’d bring the estate doctor to see if I was ill anywhere, she hurried away.

However, I was left so speechless that I didn’t think of stopping my laughter or of how strangely this reflected on the servants. There was only one thing on my mind.

“Hooo……. Our dearest younger brother, it seems you need a conversation with your older sister.”

Also, I named my fist, conversation. You can converse with my fist.

Jake Podebrat. You’d better know that you’re going to be eating dog sh*t.

“Though I heard the servants say that they could hear mice squeaking on the estate’s chimney, but I found out that it was a white mouse today.”

When he heard my voice, the black-robed doll’s shoulders lifted as if greatly surprised and swayed as if he would fall off. I drew an over-confident smile and stared straight at Jake.

“How…….”

“How did I know this place? For this great older sister of yours, knowing this much is definite.”

I shrugged once at Jake who looked at me idiotically with his mouth gaping.

To be honest, I knew because I had read the novel.

The place where Jake and I was, was no other than on top of the estate’s roof, and around the chimney at that. It was a place that no one would come unless he was a chimney-sweep cleaning out the chimney.

However, the roof was unexpectedly flat and there was a place to sit, lean on the chimney, and if one jumped the railing of the topmost floor, it was a place that was suitable for one person. Of course, if you fell, you’d die immediately.

In the novel, whenever Jake didn’t want to see the face of the older sister he hated or the face of his fawning father, he would spend his time alone in this place. Later he would help the female protagonist Yuri up to this place while telling her it was a secret place.

“…… Leave.”

Jake let out a sigh and said. He definitely felt uncomfortable and bothered, as his older sister had hurtled into a place of his own.

However, Jake had been the one to burst into his older sister’s bedroom first and make it into an Ian hell.

“Before I go back down, there’s something I have to tell you.”

I smiled brightly and slowly gripped my fist and shook it.

Jake furrowed his eyebrows as if he couldn’t understand and tilted his head.

“What.”

“My room. You dare make my suite room into that mess?”

“Why. You like him. Ian.”

Whish, maybe it was because it was the roof or something, but as the chilly wind of early spring flew straight at him, I let fly a slightly rough physical expression together with the wind. It’s like a self-blurring effect kind of thing.

“I don’t like him. That’s why I said I want to break up. I’m not crazy and I’m not bouncing back. I’m being serious.”

“…… I don’t believe you.”

Due to the hood, one could only see his nose, but Jake’s gaze definitely was looking at me suspiciously with the intent of ‘you liked him that much and now so suddenly?’

“I was blind for far too long. Last time, after showing me his intimacy with that other girl, I ran out of all affection for him. He’s just a piece of sh*t.”

“Pft.”

Jake let out a sound.

I wasn’t sure if hearing me say sh*t was funny or coming to the conclusion that the Crown Prince was a piece of sh*it was funny. But I don’t think you’re in the place to laugh?

“Stop laughing, you, who plastered all those pieces of sh*t in my room, is basically big sh*t.”

“……”

Jake became serious. I didn’t mind it as I clicked my tongue and crossed my arms.

“Also, even if I did like Ian, you’re at fault for doing whatever you want to with my room without asking for my opinion, dear foolish younger brother. You should learn to think about the other person.”

“Why?”
