10. I didn't know that was possible.

​

"Christopher, this is Elizabeth. She's going to be your sister now."

​

​

I thought he was going to be angry, but he wasn't. He called me up and told me that our family was going to grow.

​

I nodded yes and no, thinking he was going to get a dog or something, but I was surprised when he introduced me to a boy as if it was a matter of course.

​

I stared at the smiling face of my father.

​

"No way, father, illegitimate son...."

​

"Elizabeth."

​

What I was thinking seemed to have escaped my mouth, and he called me in a voice filled with anger.

​

"It's Christopher. He's a distant cousin of yours, and for some reason, we've decided to adopt a child. He will be your younger brother."

​

A large palm gently pushed me back and a frightened looking boy stood in front of me.

​

He has fluffy strawberry blonde hair, big eyes that seem to overflow even when he's tilting his face down, and a honey-colored lake of moisture. His eyelashes are so long that I thought they were extensions.

 

His skin is also translucent white. Her arms and legs are thin, and he is much smaller than me in height, making him look frail.

​

If we stood side by side, I would probably look like a man and he would look like a girl.

 

The boy who called me Christopher glanced up at me and then fell flat on his face without saying a word.

​

Yes. The boy was called Christopher.

​

The more I looked at him, the more I thought, "Is there such a thing?"

​

I knew him.

 

He, Christopher, is one of the targets in Royal LOVERS.

​

He introduces himself to the protagonist as follows. "I'm Chris."

 

It's just Chris....

 

He has a complicated family situation, and doesn't want to give his family name. Only his name was listed in the character introduction.

​

I think his real name came up a few times in his route, but I couldn't remember.... the details.

 

Even if I had remembered, I didn't even know Elizabeth's last name until I was born again. There was no way I would have noticed.

 

How could I have known that his last name was the same as mine?

 

I couldn't have known that he was my brother.

​

There was no way I could have known.
