---- In the great hall, Olzug ??castle, land in the clouds, Australia---

  The two long rows of dining tables previously were now full of food and drinks like a banquet table. From grilled meat pies and fragrant kangaroo steaks, attractive lamingtons topped with coconut rice and sweet-smelling juices, and cabbage and tomato salads are also presented on the table. Many people participated in that meal, but instead of sitting at the table and enjoying it like aristocrats, they carried food, sat at the sofa table, or sat hovering to let the invisible servant serve them.

  “Your family is really big.” Jarek looked at those present with excited eyes. She looked at Ioanna sitting next to Haruka in a corner of the wall. Seeing the two of them sitting and eating with their normal expressions back, she felt relieved. ”Ioanna looks calmer.”

  “Ah… Mrs. Haruka, aunt Ioanna, mother Soulflare, sister Albina, and Saga you already know.” Joker looked towards the sofa that had no previous capital. “You two have cat ears, but they actually warn you about the danger of kangaroo meat over there. The white-haired person is Iro, Ioanna's older sister and Haruka's child. The blonde person next to the stuffed animal is her daughter and my sister, Niki.”

  “Oooh…” Jarek raised his rabbit ears in surprise. “Is your aunt Ioanna the same age as your sister?”

  "…Right." The boy answered slowly, drinking a strawberry juice. “Thanks to the old man…”

  “Hello, I'm Jarek, Joker's friend, nice to meet you two.” The Shapechanger girl walked up to the mother and daughter and started a conversation.

  “Oh.” Iro saw that and smiled, her mouth still chewing the meat, her slender cat tail swaying. “I am Iro of Olzug, with pleasure.”

  “…” The girl sitting next to her just nodded slightly, her face not showing much. It's like a Joker who is neither happy nor sad.

  “Iro's mother should finish eating before speaking.” Joker sighed and complained then turned to Jarek. "Niki doesn't talk often, so don't even think about it."

  “Then…” From Jarek's hand, a stuffed fish appeared. “Here, a little gift for the Joker's cute little sister~.”

  Receiving the gift from Jarek, Niki's seemingly expressionless face formed a warm smile. The cat-eared girl's eyes lit up when she was given the gift.

  "…Thank you." Niki hugged the stuffed fish and whispered in response.

  “You're welcome~.” Jarek smiled, she reached out to caress the shiny blonde hair with the cat ears that wiggled a bit mischievously.

  “It's not much, but I consider it a little return gift from me, Goodberry.”

  Iro chanted the spell, a bunch of fruit that looked like grapes appeared in her hand. The female leopard took out a glass of water, squeezed the magic fruit with her hand, and the fruit's juice filled the glass.

  "Please." Iro warmly handed over the glass of juice.

  “GRMA, then I'm not being polite.”

  Jarek accepted the glass of water curiously. She immediately drank the entire glass of water in one gulp. Each drop of that magical fruit juice flowed into her body, each stream of her blood seemed to be injected with new energy. Her body now feels full of energy!

  “This water is amazing… better than 1 kg of Giant Bee honey!” The white-haired female Shapechanger's rabbit ears stood straight up in pleasure.

  “Glad you like it~.” Iro smiled with satisfaction. “The food and drinks here are always enough for 100 people to eat and drink well every day, so you can feel comfortable. If you want anything else, just ask for service."

  “Heheh, that sounds great.”

  Jarek chuckled lightly. In contrast to her, Joker hoped that she wouldn't eat all the food there was, so he might have to talk to Sabata, again.

  “Why do we have to spend the whole day in the study room for a family meeting on the weekend like this…”

  At the same time, Saga was eating a piece of sweet lamington cake. On his cheeks were two streams of tears, his face was sad as if he had just gone through torture.

  “Come on, the Blueblood boy must have mastered the 8 Schools of Magic~.”

  Soulflare floated in mid-air, her transparent glass also floating next to her. A jug of red wine hovered next to it, pouring it into a glass and filling it with bright red fermented juice.

  “Your intelligence isn't just like that, is it?” The small blonde female Wizard took a sip of wine, closed her eyes and asked.

  “But…” Saga looked up, his face still crying. However, it did not reduce the handsomeness on his face. "I want to be a writer and a Youtuber, mom..."

  “I don't forbid it, even if you like to create a harem, like boys and girls or something else.” Soulflare lowered the height of her floating body to Saga's level. Her hand gently turned the wine glass, her half-closed eyes looked at the boy suspiciously. “Is it so difficult to take some time to accumulate valuable family knowledge?”

  "Today is the day of the family meeting, please let her take it easy..." Albina felt sorry so she said something.

  “Try not to be too harsh on grandpa~.”

  A lady with a green coat and fur spoke up. She has brown hair that has turned silver, and a face full of wrinkles at the age of over 60. She has a gentle smile, along with eyes filled with profound knowledge, not faded by age.

  “You, protect me! Big sister, help me!” Saga turned to ask for help from the two people.

  “You two are so easy-going, so this kid is always leisurely and gets nowhere.” Soulflare put her hands on her hips and let out a sigh.

  “Come on, Wizards have all the time in the world. Just let him enjoy his youth, forcing him can easily backfire. Especially when Mr. Saga has a free heart like his great-grandfather Sabata ~.” The elderly woman smiled, she said reassuringly. "And you remember my great-grandmother was also very mischievous. It's not okay to tease my great-grandfather all the time ~.”

  “Sigh… fine.”

  The female Wizard shrugged and landed on the ground. She walked closer to Saga, her face raised to meet the young man's eyes. She pointed at Saga, her eyes looking stern and unwavering.

  "In 5 decades, I will check. If it doesn't work then don't blame me for using punishment on Asian parents." Soulflare advised, but it was nothing more than a warning.

  “Thank you mom for being lenient!” Saga clasped his hands together, turned his face to the elderly woman, tears flowing from his eyes in joy. ”You saved me, Emberlight!”

  “Hope you can keep up with great-grandmother's deadline~.” The woman called Emberlight placed her hand in front of her mouth and giggled.

  “Sigh… if only your little boy had a bit of understanding or passion like you…” Soulflare looked dejectedly at Albina.

  “Auntie thinks too highly of you.” Albina smiled with her face bowed shyly. “Saga is just trying her best.”

  “If you say so…” The blonde female Wizard floated off the ground, continuing to enjoy the glass of wine in her hand.

  “Who is that Earthling woman in green?” Jarek asked.

  “Emberlight, Soulflare's mother's great-grandson.” Joker's shoulders sagged. “And because of her status, she called us grandparents…”

  “Eh?” The female Shapechanger tilted her head, her eyes blinked several times, and the rabbit ears on her head also tilted. “Your family is so interesting…”

  “It's all because of the old man…” the wolf boy pouted in boredom.

  "You see, Hawa tried her best, but Joker's lonely heart was stolen by an older sister..."

  Sitting on the chair facing the outside of the dining table and between two other girls, Hawa held a can of water with a glowing green liquid inside. She drank it with her face red as if she were drunk, her mouth constantly complaining about the words of a heartbroken person.

  ”Adjusting the body to add accessories like animal ears and tails is easy for Hawa. However, turning yourself into a person the same age as a dinosaur is probably impossible to suit his taste..." The robot girl's eyes were glued to the energy drink can, her sad face looked like it was about to rain. anytime.

  “Come on.”

  Evelina patted her daughter's shoulder, smiling softly in understanding. If you don't look closely, anyone can mistake her for Hawa's twin sister.

  “Um~.”

  The girl sitting next to Hawa patted Hawa's head, her mouth showing a gentle, understanding smile. The girl with long black hair in two tails was wearing a tight suit similar to the robot girl, but had a short skirt on her lower body rather than a one-piece bodysuit. At first glance, she looks no different from Hawa's younger sister but her hair color is the opposite of white.

  If you discover this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.

  “Surely those two aren't sisters, right?” Jarek asked after having had the experience of observing the Joker family.

  "Right." Joker took a cup of hot chocolate from the Unseen Servant, he drank it and introduced. “The person who resembles the adult version of Hawa is her mother, Evelina Cleverwork. Next to her is Yhi, Evelina's mother's sister, Hawa's aunt."

  “Their family has really unique costumes.” Jarek chuckled. She ate a piece of succulent kangaroo meat filled with spicy broth and red wine before asking again. “But Yhi doesn't look like she's talking, huh? Why so?"

  “In short, she wanted to keep her own design, as a way to thank her uncle Alex, Evelina's mother's brother and her creator.” Joker drank a cup of chocolate, the warmth of the milk and the sweetness of the sugar helped him relax more.

  "That's it... the more the family listened, the more curious they became..." Only then, the Shapechanger girl looked at Hawa sadly, that scene made her feel sad. “But Hawa really has a lot of love for you, why don't you reciprocate? Or are you worried about incest and inbreeding?”

  “…”

  Joker looked at the Shapechanger with eyes more suspicious and uncomfortable than ever. He began to wonder, is common sense too expensive for this girl? But instead of being grumpy, he took a deep breath to regain composure.

  “Besides the common sense you just said, I don't want to be crazy like my old man.” The wolf boy explained slowly. “Plus, she's a robot, I'm a Jotun wolf with half a soul. So biologically, there's no way inbreeding is possible here, even if I wanted her to give birth to my child. And the most important problem is that my and Hawa's personalities don't match at all, they're as opposite as Nifhelm and Muspelhelm."

  “Then at least talk to her. And please try not to hurt Hawa, she is still a girl after all.” Jarek smiled gently as if understanding Hawa's feelings. ”Joker is a good brother so it shouldn't be difficult, right?”

  “…” Joker's eyes closed for a moment, his mouth seemed to be biting his lip in discomfort. "I will try…"

  “Yahoo.”

  A youthful voice spoke up. The main door of the hall opened, and a girl with blonde hair in plain clothes walked in. Behind her was a teenager in uniform, with short hair the same color as her. The entire Joker family said a warm welcome. Most special of all, Soulflare and Niki approached the two of them and started a conversation.

  “You're too late, Aaron~.” Niki raised her hand to start a conversation, her leopard ears swaying excitedly. She raised her hand in front of the teenager's face.

  “It's good that it's not even a day late~.” The young man clapped back with an excited smile. "Bring the food to your room and start the game, I'll go take a shower and we'll fight while eating!"

  "Okay!" The girl gave a thumbs up then turned to ask the Unseen Servants, her voice became faster and louder. “Bring food and drinks to my room!”

  A few plates of food and water bottles floated and were placed on a silver tray. They flew towards the end of the hallway, which led to another room. Niki also followed suit, as if racing against time. The blonde boy called Aaron just held his hands behind his head, walking leisurely with a relaxed smile.

  Zhou

  “Welcome home, Aaron.”

  Soulflare set foot on the ground, she kissed Aaron's forehead and said hello. Next, she gently kissed the cheek of the blonde girl following the boy.

  “You're too late, Anna~.” Soulflare smiled mischievously, her face still not too far away from the other person.

  “S-sorry.” Anna's cheeks suddenly turned red, her voice a bit confused. “I just finished training with the Giant soldiers, and now I'm covered in dirty sweat!”

  “What do you mean now you get more seasoning?” The female Wizard smiled teasingly like a little devil.

  From behind Soulflare, Sabata appeared from nowhere without any warning. The blond man used his hand to lightly chop Soulflare's head.

  Pow

  “Don't tease her too much.” Sabata laughed it off.

  “Come on, it's fun~.” Soulflare rubbed the part that was knocked, she turned back to protest.

  “If you want anything, you can tease her tonight~.” Sabata whispered in a low voice, but few people could still hear.

  "Good idea!" The Wizard's eyes seemed to light up at that high view.

  "This!" Anna raised her voice, clearly hearing that short and quiet exchange.

  “We were just joking~.” Sabata grinned.

  “Come on, Prestidigation.”

  Soulflare cast the spell, all the sweat on Anna's body had dried, and her outfit was as clean as new. A glass and a bottle of wine floated over and poured into the glass.

  “Let's have some wine to cool down~.” The female Wizard smiled with a glass filled with red wine.

  “And big, long, thick, and greasy sausages~.” From Sabata's hand appeared a plate of hot sausages, it emitted a sweet aroma. The man also handed over a silver fork, with a friendly smile on his face.

  “You two are so sincere…” Anna took a plate and put a sausage on it to eat, then she picked up the glass of wine and took a sip.

  “Let me guess! She is Anna, your stepmother, and Aaron is her son!” Jarek's rabbit ears stood up, her eyes sparkled as if realizing their relationship through their conversation up until now. “And Anna is Soulflare's lover!”

  “You caught on quickly... And yes.” Joker sighed and then added. "She is also the youngest stepmother currently, so Aaron is the youngest in the family... And I also hope I don't have to know any new stepmothers..."

  “You don't seem to like the fact that your family is getting too big, huh?” The female Shapechanger laughed when she saw the other person's unenthusiastic face.

  “Sigh…”

  Joker scratched his head and said nothing more. Because he understood that his and Jarek's values ??were too different to understand. He also didn't want to make things more difficult for her, nor did he want to show that he was too upset and then end up arguing like cats and dogs. For that reason, he decided to stop that topic and not argue further.

  And then, a circle appeared on the floor. It emitted a strong light that briefly overwhelmed the surrounding light source. The next second, the magical light turned off, and two new people appeared in the middle of the hall. A tall man with black hair, wearing a black suit. Next to him was a young woman with long white hair, wearing street clothes.

  “привет.” The white-haired woman who looked less than 30 years old spoke up. “Sorry for being late~.”

  “Hope we haven't missed dinner~.” The man had black hair and hair about the same age.

  "Parents!" Albina cried out happily. She ran to the two of them and hugged them.

  “I made you come here alone.”

  The woman spoke softly, a sad smile appearing on her face. The woman gently kissed Albina's forehead, her hands gently caressing her soft little cheeks.

  “It's okay, everyone in the village is very kind.” Albina shook her head, she smiled softly to reassure the two parents

  “If you say so, then it's good.” The man gently stroked the girl's white, velvety hair, his mouth smiling with relief as if he had relieved a worry.

  “Hmhmhm, if you're too late, you'll starve ~.” Skoll walked up to the two of them, her tail shaking vigorously, like a puppy reunited with its owner.

  “If our little sister plans to swallow everything like the sun, yep.” The black-haired man said jokingly.

  “I'm not that greedy!” Skoll shrugged in protest.

  “If you need to, staying up for 48 hours during the weekend is a small thing.” Soulflare smiled confidently, his hand raised to indicate ok.

  “Let's save it for another time.” The man laughed and replied.

  “As you wish.” Soulflare shrugged.

  “Hello~.” Sabata walked over to greet the young woman politely. However, when he turned to the black-haired man, he grinned and raised his hand to shoulder height. “Yo, bro~.”

  “I haven't seen you all week. It's been hard. And I'll have to bother you again.”

  The man shook hands in response, his eyes slightly tinged with worry. The two of them clasped their hands so tightly that you could see the veins bulging on their biceps. Sabata then pulled his hand back, his lips puckered, preparing for a kiss.

  “A kiss for my brother~.” Sabata said humorously.

  “There's no need for that~.” The black-haired man raised his face to retreat from the lips that were close to him. He let go of his hand to escape that overly intimate greeting.

  “Uncle LHan is my old man's older brother, and Aunt Irina is my mother's older sister.”

  Joker then introduced two new faces. When he looked at Jarek, he saw that the bunny girl was staring at LHAn and Irina, her eyes not blinking.

  "What's wrong?" Curious and unable to understand the other person's expression, Joker asked.

  “Your uncle… is also very special.” Jarek answered, but her gaze still did not leave the target.

  “What do you mean?” The wolf boy couldn't understand the meaning of that sentence.

  “Your uncle is similar to Sabata.” Only then did Jarek turn to Joker and make a comment. “His body also continuously produces large amounts of natural energy. The only difference is that it is wrapped in a protective veil.”

  “…”

  Joker opened his mouth and breathed heavily, his eyes fixed on his uncle, his mind filled with doubt. The uncle LHAn who lived a simple life that he knew contained a secret, or some power that he had never heard of. Who or what LHAn is, he has no way of knowing. Maybe, that uncle also holds something bigger than he can imagine.

  "There must be some hidden meaning, for now don't look too closely..." Joker sighed and gave an answer, as a way to ensure peace.

  “That's right…” Jarek scratched his cheek and laughed. ”LHAn seems like a good guy, so maybe just leave his privacy alone.”

  “Yes…” The boy put his hands in his pockets, his eyes aimlessly looking at the ceiling that was emitting light. “And as you can see, everyone in my family is almost immortal. So, if you ever get bored of me, find them as friends. If you want to be the boyfriend or girlfriend of my brothers, that's up to you. But just don't become a stepmother or step-aunt..."

  “Thank you for your good intentions, but I decline.” Jarek smiled gently, but she shook her head slightly. “Still, I'm glad to know your family members, and how great they make a Joker~.”

  “As you wish.” Joker sighed, once again he could not be persuaded.

  “Ah yes.” Only then did Albina remember something important and inform her parents. “Joker also just made a new friend.”

  “Oh, that's really good news!” LHAn looked happier when he heard that news.

  “That's right, he said he just got stronger too!” Skoll was equally eager to speak up.

  “Sounds hopeful.”

  Irina turned her gaze towards Joker in curiosity. Facing his family's expectations, Joker only felt his head become heavier, to the point of pain. After all, he doesn't see what he has now as something to be proud of or brag about, especially to his family!
