Chapter 1: Villainous aristocrat gets sisters

"I have something to tell you."

During dinner, my father, who had been acting strangely, suddenly said.

My name is Kunou Drana, and I'm ten years old.

I am the eldest son of the Drana Baron's family, located in the remote borderlands of the Gardanakia Kingdom.

In other words, I am a noble, but our family, despite having a decent estate, is not much different from commoners.

　Let alone, the Drana Barony is a rural territory at the outskirts of the outskirts.

It's barely developed, and the roads aren't maintained, so hardly anyone visits.

The one ruling over such land is my father, Aslan Drana.

"What's the matter? Why are you so formal?"

My mother tilted her head inquisitively at my distant father.

My mother is the third daughter of the Viscount family that rules another borderland, and her marriage to my father was a political alliance.

　However, their relationship was excellent. 

They were such a lovey-dovey couple that I had never seen them fight before.

Until this moment.

"Well, the thing is, there are some children I want to introduce."

"…Introduce, you say?"

My mother's face tensed up.

"I don't think it's possible, but are you cheating again?"

"N-No, it's not like that! They're girls, but it's not that kind of relationship!!"

"I see…"

　Actually, my father messed up once before.

It seems to be a story from before I was born, but despite having my mother as his fiancée, he was idling away his time in brothels, neglecting his work.

Honestly, I think it's quite impressive in a weird way.

Even if he wasn't married yet, it's not something normal people do, having a fiancée and still visiting brothels.

"Um, come in."

"Y-Yes."

"I-I apologize for the intrusion."

With my father's words, two girls entered the dining room.

At first glance, they appeared to be sisters.

One looked slightly older than me, and the other seemed younger.

They had similar adorable faces, but there was a slight difference in their hair colors.

The older sister had platinum blonde hair, while the younger one had silver hair.

　I envy them.

I take after my mother with my black hair, but it lacks the luster hers has, so it's rather plain.

...Come to think of it, these two girls. The silver hair resembles Father's coloration.

"Um, well, Karina."

Father called out my mother's name apologetically.

"Who are these children?"

"Um, well, they are Eris's daughters, my daughters."

"...Eh?"

*Gasp.*

　My mother glared at my father with a terrifying expression.

Eris, if I remember correctly, was the name of a prostitute my father was obsessed with when he was young.

Which means, in other words...

"Um, well, it seems that, uh, she got pregnant."

"...You."

*Eek!*

"When you and I were still engaged, you used to visit the brothel in the neighboring town. But I thought it was because I lacked charm, so I forgave you once."

　Quietly, my mother spoke, akin to a volcano on the verge of eruption.

"However, those two daughters of yours. Yes, the younger one. How old is she?"

"Um, w-well, probably around ten years old."

"...You two there."

"Y-Yes!"

My mother addressed the two sisters.

She's usually gentle, but when she gets angry, she can be really terrifying.

Of the sisters, the younger one was completely cowering.

"Do you know your exact age?"

"I-I'm eleven. My sister is nine."

"...I see, the older one is not the issue here. The problem lies with the younger one!!"

Ah, I see.

"Aslan, hey, you? Why is there a girl younger than Kunou here? I can't believe I have to ask, but were you not only visiting the brothel, but also neglecting Kunou?"

"T-That's, um, well!!"

"I heard you were visiting. I asked if you were visiting."

"Y-Yes."

　Seriously, my father is the worst.

"...Get those two out of here right now."

"W-Wait a minute!! Th-The thing is, um, their mother, she, uh, passed away from an illness! So, um, I wanted to take them in and—"

"Eh?"

Father swallowed hard at my mother's stern glare.

On a side note, Mother is really scary.

"Taking them in is out of the question. Besides, there's doubt whether they're really your children. Prostitutes are in a business where they sleep with multiple clients; you can't know whose child they are. Both the parents and the daughters are utterly tainted."

"Don't speak ill of our mother!!"

"H-Hey, Wendy!! I'm, I'm sorry!! I'll talk to my sister!!"

"Why is Felsy-neechan apologizing!! Mom worked hard for us!!"

　Hmmm.

The older one is Felsy, and the younger one is Wendy, right?

Wait, Felsy? Wendy?

Hmm, I feel like I've heard those names somewhere before...

—In that instant.

A sensation akin to when a piece of food gets stuck between your teeth suddenly swelled up, and a change occurred within me.

Simultaneously, an immense amount of memories flooded into my mind.

"Pl-Please, spare them from being kicked out!!"

"No, I've reached my limit. If these children don't leave, Kunou and I will leave. I will make sure to inform my family about this. Let's go, Kunou. Kunou? Kunou!?! Why are your eyes rolled back like that!? What kind of expression is that!?"

I remembered it all.

Felsy and Wendy. And my name, Kunou.

I know these names.

I know them from a life before I was born as Kunou Drana!!

　This world is the setting of the game 'Fantasista Stories' that I, in my past life, had played through countless times, resetting the saved data and starting over.

Felsy and Wendy are the popular and beautiful sister characters adored by players.

And Kunou is the villain who oppresses these two!

Right now, it's an event just before the relationships between the characters align according to the game's scenario.

After this, with Aslan's desperate persuasion, Karina reluctantly agrees. 

However, what awaited the two was a life of oppression..

　This is bad. Very bad.

In the near future, the game's protagonist will come, rescue Felsy and Wendy, and I, who had been involved in various wrongdoings behind the scenes, will be executed.

And it will be quite abrupt!! Maybe the development team didn't have the budget to create a proper character design, so I'll die with just a few lines of text!!

—Felsy and Wendy were rescued.

—You, the protagonist, exposed Kunou's wrongdoings.

—Kunou was sentenced to death.

　So, I'll die!! I need to die quickly to promptly recruit the two heroines, Felsy and Wendy, as his allies!!

Wait a minute? But hang on, what if I just don't do anything bad? Yeah, that sounds right. That's all there is to it.

The important thing is...

"?"

"Um...?"

That I have heroines (in their underage forms) I adored in my past life!!

I must save them!!

"Mother, please calm down."

"W-What...?"

"It's alright, Mother. Father is the one at fault for everything."

"What!?"

　Father let out a crazed scream at my words. The adulterous scoundrel should stay silent.

"Even though Mother warned you, you didn't stop visiting the brothel. Are Felsy and Wendy at fault for that?"

"...No."

"Then, is it the fault of the mothers of these two children who ended up pregnant? I don't think so either. I believe these mothers did a commendable job raising their children with the money they earned from selling her body until the children grew up."

"T-That's..."

"So, the one at fault is Father. And besides,"

　I stood up from my chair and approached Wendy.

Wendy looked at me with a puzzled expression.

"They're so cute; it would be pitiful to kick them out!! Above all,"

"Above all?"

"I wanted siblings!!"

“…”

This was the truth.

I was an only child in my past life, and I still am now.

Having beautiful sisters is just too awesome.

"The one at fault is Father. He's the one who should be kicked out.”

"Kunou!? Th-That's, really..."

"You damn bastard, Father, stay quiet. Mother, please, accept these two as my sisters, as your daughters."

"...Kunou..."

Father slumped, muttering, "Y-You damn bastard..." but it was the truth.

In response to my desperate plea, Mother let out a sigh.

Well?

"...Sigh, it feels like I'm the villain here."

"Which means!!"

"I understand. I will welcome the two as adopted daughters of the Drana family. However!!"

Mother pointed firmly at Felsy and Wendy.

"As daughters of the Baron family, I expect both of you to become young ladies who can hold their heads high wherever they go. Of course, you will be thoroughly taught reading and writing, and your manners. If you utter complaints, I will immediately cast you out of this house."

"Yes, thank you very much!!"

Tears welled up in Felsy's eyes as she bowed her head.

"And you, Wendy."

"...?"

　She was called by Mother, but Wendy turned away, clearly upset about insulting her own mother.

It's alright.

"I sincerely apologize for insulting your mother."

"...Huh?"

"As Kunou said, she's a wonderful mother. I couldn't do what she did—selling her own body to raise her children. I got carried away, said horrible things. I'm truly sorry."

　Wendy didn't say anything, but she nodded faintly.

Mother is simple in her own way.

If she dislikes something, she really dislikes it, but once she accepts it even once, she becomes a remarkably tolerant person.

In the game, considering Aslan's past mistakes, she should have been tormenting these two alongside Kunou...

But the fact that she could accept even a love child if her beloved son said so must mean she's fundamentally a good person.

I clapped my hands with a smile.

"Everything is resolved now, right?! Please take care of me, Sister. Wendy."

"Y-Yes, thank you very much, Kunou-sama!!"

Felsy bowed her head to me, and I responded with a smile.

"Sister, from now on, we're siblings, so please call me Kunou."

"B-But..."

"Come on, quickly, quickly!!"

"K-Kunou, kun...?"

"Yes, what is it, Sister!!"

"Hehe, ahahaha!"

　Felsy and Wendy smiled for the first time since they arrived here.

As expected of heroines. The power of their smiles is absolutely overwhelming.

"Felsy, Wendy... I'm glad――"

"We have something to talk about."

"Ah, yes."

Later on, Father and Mother left the dining room.

The next day, Father, beaten to a pulp, was discovered in the backyard, resembling a rag.
