My suspicions of being treated coldly by the Amazoness have completely proven to be groundless.
Initially a bit reserved, they quickly warmed up after a light mock battle, treating me like a close family member.
Despite all being stunningly beautiful and having impressive figures, they were extremely friendly, constantly smiling, and unreservedly engaging in close physical contact.
I’ve come to realize that rumors in society are often unreliable.
“…I don’t know what you’re thinking, but whatever it is, everything big brother is thinking is definitely completely wrong.”
“What’s going on, Suzuha? You seem worked up.”
“It’s nothing, big brother. Your misunderstandings are nothing new. But…”
“What?”
“…Why are the two Amazoness sitting next to him!? That’s supposed to be my seat!”
Suzuha slammed the table, and the food on it floated in midair.
“Hey, Suzuha. Bad manners during meals are not commendable, you know?”
“S-Sorry, nii-san. It just…!”
Suzuha, looking dejected, sat next to Yuzuriha-san, who smiled wryly.
“Well, well, Suzuha’s brother. Since Suzuha-kun seems to be reflecting on it, please forgive her this time.”
“If Yuzuriha-san says so.”
“Besides, I agree with Suzuha-kun. The two Amazoness by your side are getting too close, don’t you think?”
“It can’t be helped. Body contact is apparently the Amazoness way.”
So here I am, having a meal flanked by the twin Commanders-in-Chief of the Amazoness forces.
This is part of a small reception being held as our nation’s forces and the neighboring Amazoness forces are about to join forces on the front lines.
Normally, my seat would be across here with Suzuha and Lady Yuzuriha at the same table.
But as I respond, the Amazonesses to my left and right nod deeply in unison.
“Just as you say, Brother-sama. This is the highest form of hospitality from the Amazoness tribe. Interference will not be tolerated.”
“If anyone dares interfere with us fully welcoming you, Brother-sama, the Amazoness forces will fight to the last soldier.”
For some reason, the Amazonesses have settled on calling me “Brother-sama.”
It seems to hold some special meaning in their tribe, as no matter how much Lady Yuzuriha objects, they insist “We cannot accept any form of address other than this.”
I don’t really mind what I’m called.
It’s probably meant as something cool like “The Male Acknowledged by the Amazonesses.”
Maybe.
I hope so, at least.
“…Very well then. However, Brother, don’t forget you have training sessions with us after the meal is over.”
As the slightly disgruntled Suzuha says this, the two Amazonesses react.
“How fortunate. We simply must join in as well.”
“And of course, this ‘special massage’ or whatever afterward as well?”
“Wh-What!? How do you two know about my brother’s massages!?”
The very flustered Suzuha and Lady Yuzuriha are met with chuckles from the Amazonesses.
“Our Amazoness intelligence network would obviously know that much.”
“We are allied forces now, did you expect we to keep secrets?”
“Kuh…”
Yuzuriha-san, for some reason, kneeled down as if completely defeated.
I wonder what’s going on.
From here on, it’s just our usual routine – training followed by a massage.

6 (Toko’s Perspective)
Back in her room, Toko read the report handed to her by a discreet figure as they passed in the hallway. A triumphant smile spread across her face.
“The Amazones Army has fallen. ……, huh… As expected of Suzuha’s brother.”
This was a covert coup plan unfolding beneath the surface of the country.
In the ongoing power struggle between the first prince faction and the second prince faction, Toko, as the first princess, aimed to unite them and become the next queen.
One of the conspirators, Toko was confident in the success of the coup.
With the four strongest individuals in the country – herself, Yuzuriha, Suzuha, and Suzuha’s older brother – success seemed inevitable.
However, as the future ruler, Toko couldn’t afford to rest once she became queen.
She needed to plan ahead and set the stage for what would come next.
“With this, we should be able to avoid the invasion from those extremely formidable Amazonesses…Honestly, not only are they insanely strong, but their loyalty knows no bounds. It’s terrifying if we don’t subdue them first…”
The occurrence of a coup would inevitably create chaos within the country,
providing an opportunity for external forces to take advantage.
Toko had conversed with the Amazoness tribe’s twin leaders, who currently controlled the neighboring country. They were sharp individuals, and Toko wanted to avoid becoming a pawn in their hands.
If they let their guard down, the Amazonesses might launch an attack en masse.
Even now, if it weren’t for Yuzuriha and Toko, they would have invaded our country long ago.
“But still, Brother-sama is unexpectedly… Suzuha’s brother must have shown an overwhelming level of strength. How impressive is he?”
The Amazoness tribe is known to have a highly hierarchical society, more stringent than any army.
However, within that, few are aware of the legendary rank above the tribe leader.
That’s Brother-sama.
The title given only to men recognized by the Amazoness tribe leader as far more powerful than herself, a position above even the pinnacle of the Amazoness’ hierarchy.
By the way, if a woman proves stronger, she simply becomes the new tribe leader, without being called something like “elder sister.”
“But still… hehe, I can almost picture Yuzuriha’s anxious face…”
That’s Yuzuriha for you. Until now, no matter what was said, she always believed she could eventually win Suzuha’s brother.
After all, her biggest rival, Toko, had the cumbersome restraint of being a princess. Royalty couldn’t marry commoners.
As for the other contender, Suzuha, she’s just a sister. Well, Suzuha herself might not think that way.
Other rivals could be easily dealt with using the Duke’s power and Yuzuriha’s strength.
However, the Amazoness tribe is different.
The Amazoness are already known for their overwhelming strength. Moreover, the current tribe leader holds a firm grip on the political power of the neighboring country.
Combining their power, wealth, and military might would make even the Sakuragi Ducal House pale in comparison.
Yuzuriha, who was overwhelmingly ahead in the race to win Suzuha’s brother, could barely maintain an equal footing, thanks to the advantage of Suzuha’s brother being a fellow countryman.
That’s how strong the position of the Amazoness tribe leader is.
“But Yuzuriha, don’t get angry, okay? For the sake of this country’s future, I intentionally leaked information about Suzuha’s brother to the Amazoness tribe and directed him towards the Ogre’s Great Forest. It’s not like I leaked the information to the Amazoness out of spite or anything… right?”
The results were far more than enough.
At the very least, the Amazoness tribe leader is deeply grateful, acknowledging that encountering Suzuha’s brother was thanks to Toko’s information.
The reward for that information is that unless Brother-sama instructs otherwise, neither the neighboring country nor the Amazoness tribe will make any moves against our country.
It was a risky gamble for Toko to predict if the Amazoness tribe leader, who came to observe Suzuha’s brother, would judge it as a wasted effort. But with Toko’s assessment, there was more than enough chance of success.
And naturally, she won that gamble.
So, it’s undoubtedly for the country’s sake, Toko concludes.
Maybe there’s a bit of personal feelings mixed in, but who cares?
Besides…
“Well, if Yuzuriha and the Amazoness end up in a conflict that gets out of hand… even if I have to break tradition and become your wife, it can’t be helped!”
As the queen who governs the country, it’s absolutely forbidden for such chaos to arise on flat ground over a single man.
However, if a bloody conflict has already erupted and there’s no other way…
Even breaking tradition, taking away the cause of the conflict, and bringing the situation under control is also the duty of a queen.

Two weeks have passed since we arrived at the Ogre’s Great Forest fortress.
Before coming, we were worried about the Amazoness army, but they turned out to be extremely kind, gentle, and polite women. Moreover, they were all cute, with outstanding figures, and wearing bikini armor, making it hard to know where to look.
And when I was troubled, for some reason, Suzuha often approached me, bringing about strange behavior, which has become a recent source of concern.
Even now.
“Phew… it’s hot, isn’t it, brother? (flutter, flutter)”
“…?”
“What’s wrong, brother? You’re making such a puzzled face. (flutter, flutter)”
“Um, it’s nothing, really…”
“You’re a strange guy. Anyway, it’s so hot (fanning myself).”
By the way, the sound (fanning myself) is Suzuha fanning her chest and sending air into her clothes.
Suzuha, who didn’t usually engage in such provocative gestures, started doing it frequently after coming to this fortress.
She would also pat her skirt.
She once showed up in a tight-fitting outfit, claiming, “Big brother, I’ve gained a little weight…” While saying this, she forced herself into the snug attire, revealing her bursting chest.
Suddenly, she declared, “Since you always massage me, it’s time to repay the favor,” and proceeded to give me a massage, excessively pressing her chest against me.
All of these actions, while pretending to be normal, were accompanied by Suzuha sneakily glancing at me, her face turning red with embarrassment.
Not understanding Suzuha’s intentions, I found myself in a dilemma on how to react.
However, I had a feeling that asking her directly would be a landmine, so I decided to discreetly consult with Yuzuriha. The outcome was…
