Classes are over. Alright. Time to psyche myself up

I am the Academys Strongest, yeah! I declared while pumping my fists in the air.

Jeezyou seem to really enjoy life. How nice for you.

Instructor Sword was looking drained.

I wonder why? Should I massage his shoulders?

Instructor Sword, if youre tired, I can massage your shoulders, you know?

WHAT!? Your plannin to pulverize my shoulders next?

He told me although I was just trying to be considerate.

Once I returned to my room, Swannyboy got frightened.

Hmm? Whats wrong, Swannyboy? Youre trembling like the rare cockatrice subvariant I found the other day, you know?

You scared a cockatrice? Youre incredible, Indra

I feel like hes getting increasingly scared of me, but it must be my imagination.

Dont worry. Im kind to anyone whos not hostile to me, okay? Its not like the prince was particularly hostile, but since that was like a standard event, I simply accepted his challenge. I mean being challenged to a duel by a prince is a very normal development!

Somehow I feel like the events you call very common and normal arent very common and normal at all.

Its just your imagination!

.Say, Indra, you dont seem to be a normal human Ah! Sorry if I hurt your feelings!

You didnt wrong me in any way. My birth is undoubtable, so Im a normal human. My appearance is supposed to resemble that of my mother. But, the environment was the worst! I was disciplined a lot! And then I became strong!

Thats all I can say.

Since nobles grow up while being pampered, wouldnt that make any discipline rather gentle? Commoners, and especially adventurers, cant make a living if theyre weak. I mean, isnt Instructor Sword really strong? Hes also a normal humanI think, but he got stronger through training, so I think its a problem with your own way of training, no?

Ah, I see. That makes sense.

Seemingly comprehending, he was nodding repeatedly.

But, although I secured myself the seat of the academys strongest, the all-important request shows no progress. I thought that the other side would act in some kind of way if I became the strongest in the academy, but isnt everyone averting their eyes from me instead?

The boys, who gave me a welcoming party at the beginning, have become completely submissive, and even somewhat fanatic, attendants of me, except for the boss. How really boring.

Since they approached me, asking me to give them orders, I drove them away by telling them, I got no orders for you, so study.

Oh right! Wont that unyielding boss and the prince join up and come up with something amazing?

When I suddenly came up with that idea and searched for the two, I discovered the prince. He was sitting near the fountain in the courtyard.

Ahhes in the middle of flirting with a girl. Damn it.

When I tried to leave quietly, the two noticed me.

Big Sister!?

Oh my god, his partner was the lovers daughter.

Rose, do you know him?

The prince was looking my way with a super annoyed expression, but I ignored him and greeted Primrose.

Primrose, huh? Long time no see.

I feel like shes become really gaudy. Her commoner traits have mostly disappeared.

Primrose was looking at me blankly. Well, I guess that makes only sense, seeing how her Big Sister, whom she hasnt seen in a long while, is crossdressing as a guy.

Youre my big sister, right? Why are you wearing that uniform.

Well, as for this, I was enrolled here as a boy, probably due to some kind of mistake.

I had wondered why no one was doubting whether I might actually be a woman, but now it got exposed by Primrose.

Alright, I wasnt suspected as a man, so Ill become a woman next and move to the female dormitory.

I understand! So thats the reason! She merrily clapped her hands together.

Big Sister had been a Big Brother all along!

Oi.

How did it come to that?

Indeed, I was convinced that you might be my big sister, but female crossdressing was part of the training you received from your mother, wasnt it dear Brother? I have fully understood now!

No, you havent understood a thing, have you?

No, Im your Big Sister, you know?

I understand, dear Brother!

Hopeless.

This girl is hopeless, no doubt. Its been like that ever since we met; she never listens to what others tell her!

Please wait a moment. The Indra you mentioned earlier, Rose

Yes! It was about my dear Brother!

Im telling you that Im your sister, damnit!

Why is she deliberately denying it! Im just crossdressing as a guy!

I see. So the brother, who left home, was you, huh?

Its Sister.

I corrected them each and every time.

Still, you managed to reunite here again, but couldnt you have contacted Rose a bit earlier? Rose has been quite concerned about you, you know?

Youre unrelated here, arent you? Why are you butting inor rather, complaining at me? Or are you possibly Roses boyfriend?

Wh-!

The prince turned beet red.

I see, so you already fell for Primrose.

What are you saying!? The prince yelled at me in rage.

Primrose fidgeted around while blushing.

But, Primrose, are you alright? Although I cut my relationships with the family, Ill tell you since were half-sisters. This guy seems to be the first prince. In short, if you marry this guy, things will become super busy for you. Youll be forced to thoroughly train strict manners every day to such an extent that youll think of learning noble manners as a poor joke.

Primrose immediately became ghastly pale.

Ah, as I thought. She seems to still be bad with manners, huh?

No need to worry! The simple and honest Primrose is going to bring a fresh wind into the palace!

Then you should give up on being a prince.

The two became speechless.

Hating to learn manners and it being fine to not learn manners only works for commoners. So become commoners. If you do, manners wont matter at all. If not, the queen will require manners if you intend to become the king. The ones losing face, being ridiculed, and being looked down upon wont be Primrose and you, but the entire kingdom. Other nations will think, its a country full of vulgar savages who dont know any manners.

The air froze.

It looks like they hadnt realized. Come on, is it really going to be alright? Hasnt he become a horny monkey after getting too engrossed in his little love affair?

I recommend you to step down as prince. Being a commoner is nice, you know? Ive left the nobility, but Im living a very comfortable life! Whether I beat up the king or destroy the capital, no one can do anything about it! Its truly magnificent!

Eh?

They somehow raised their voices in protest, but I didnt hear anything, so I didnt care.

Once more, this time shouting, Call me Big Sister!

Then I turned around.

Yep, if its those lovebirds, they shouldnt be the one Im looking for.
