I Obtained a Stepmother. I Obtained a Little Brother. It Appears That Little Brother Is Not Father's Child, but a Scum King's Child, However, Don't Mind It Please ( ´_ゝ`) Chapter 28

Yuri was confused .

Although Yuri is complicated in various ways, he still had as much common sense as others do .

To start with, Ellen’s wording was out of place in Yuri’s common sense, and so was Ellen’s remark .
Or more precisely, Ellen’s wording and her remark were simply not meant for royalty .

It was equivalent to lese majeste .

He thought that there was no way that she who was an Earl’s daughter, the daughter of the Queen’s friend, would make such a disrespectful remark even as a joke but the reality of the matter was that towards Yuri,

「Tedious guy[1]」

is what Ellen said .

And then there was that frivolous apology, 「Sorry sorry」 .

Yuri could not accept that reality .
Maybe he had just misheard her .
Although that possibility was exceedingly low, Yuri bet on that possibility .

「J, just now, tedious guy, well, though I don’t think it was that, I h-heard “tedious guy“, I misheard you, right? 」

Although Yuri was shaken, he glanced at Ellen and mumbled what he said .

「Nope, you didn’t hear wrong (°▽°)
I ended up saying it because you were too tedious (°▽°)
Because Ellen is an honest person (°▽°)
But Saya always says, (°▽°)
Even if it’s good to say the truth, there are times when it’s bad (°▽°)
And there are some things that should be said (°▽°)
Ellen-sama’s sword of truth is so sharp it could cut someone in two with a single stroke, she says . (°▽°)
Ah . Saya is the head maid of Ellen’s household, her face is scary but she is caring . (°▽°)
Due to various concerns, her grey hair had been increasing lately .
Her specialty is apple pie (°▽°)
This apple pie is also delicious but Saya’s apple pie is just as good . (°▽°)」

Ellen said so while stuffing her cheeks with apple pie from the table of confections .
It’s a mystery how the apple pie doesn’t fall from her mouth as she eats and speaks .

「Apple pie sure is hard to eat when it crumbles (°▽°)
But the farmers worked really hard to make the wheat flour and apples so I have to eat it without spilling any . (°▽°)
Or rather, we can’t eat all the snacks and sweets prepared but leaving it behind would be a waste, so can I take some home with me later?」

With the talk derailed completely, Ellen exceeds Yuri’s common sense .
