Chapter 233 – The Nest (12)
I talked with my sister all night without noticing the passage of time.
And after a few days
The seemingly peaceful days passed, but a strange tension was flowing between us.
Because the final fight is not too far away.
“Ah! I thought I could win today…”
“Whoa, that was dangerous.”
“Good work, both of you.”
Anna and Iris just returned from sparring. Leticia smiled and greeted the two of them.
The two of them naturally accept as Leticia hands her the towel.
It looked pretty natural.
Both Anna and Iris seem to have felt similarities as they reached the level of masters, and this is thanks to the fact that they have been sparring together almost every day lately.
It was also a feeling of preparation for the upcoming decisive battle, so Leticia seemed to be helping her knowingly or unknowingly.
In addition, everyone who gathered at the Chepeche Mansion a few days ago did not return and remained here.
─The academy doesn’t matter now, right?
I also said that it would be better for them to stay here without further contact.
“Here, wipe your sweat.”
“Oh, thank you… Hey, is it okay if I call you sister?”
“Huh? Why are you asking such a question so carefully? Feel free to call me!”
Maybe it’s because they’ve been living under the same roof for the past few days, but Leticia and the two have become pretty close, and it seems like they’re comfortable talking to each other now.
Anna and Iris also seem to be comfortable calling each other by their names now.
If you think about what was quite awkward a while ago, it’s a great development.
“Is Iris the new winner today?”
“Ah, Scarlett!”
Leticia greeted me with a smile when I, who had been watching, intervened between the three women. Iris shrugged her shoulders, and Anna pursed her lips and turned her head away.
“Don’t be too sorry. Because there is such a thing as gender differences.”
“But…”
She put her hand on Anna’s head, who pursed her lips as if disappointed by Leticia’s words.
Stroking stroking—.
“Yes.”
“Brother, that’s me.”
He also stroked Iris’s head as he gently poked her head.
Two women rubbing against my touch, delighted.
“As my sister said, it’s true that Iris is actually a good match for Anna. Don’t let Anna get too down on this, and don’t get Iris too proud.”
“Yes.”
“Ugh, I see.”
Literally, Anna and Iris are on the same level, but Iris had a pretty good advantage due to the difference in compatibility.
Anna’s Authority as a Master is Freeze.
And the innate talent of a swordsman.
The combination of these two is very powerful, but the blessing bestowed on the hero Iris is none other than Mithra, the sun god.
Anna’s coldness did not invade Iris.
─Iiik!
Moreover, Iris’ authority is ‘Guardian’.
Unlike Anna, who has her powers sealed, Iris, who can use her powers intact, is extremely limited in how Anna can land her effective hits.
Even with an effective hit, it can heal itself…
“Isn’t the hero too fraudulent?”
“It’s not something the Sword Master would say.”
Bee.
Anna grumbles, and Iris sticks out her tongue.
Still, it was fortunate that neither of them seemed to have the results of the sparring in mind.
It’s a bit uncomfortable, but it doesn’t really cause conflict.
Certainly, whether it’s a Sword Saint or a Hero, it’s true that they have fraudulent characteristics.
“Come on, stop fighting. It’s a nice day, so let’s invite everyone and go for a walk.”
“Is that so?”
My sister clapped her hands and agreed. Iris and Anna also nodded as if they didn’t hate it.
Not only Anna and Iris, but everyone was getting more nervous these days, so it was necessary to release them like this.
Since the number of the party is not small, there was an intention to gather everyone like this and develop a sense of unity or bond with each other.
“——A girl doesn’t have to follow me?”
She had a saintess frowning on her face as if she didn’t know why she had to come along, but she was a trivial matter aside.
“The weather is nice~!”
“Whoops, I will.”
Cristina, with a basket of snacks and such, took her seat under a shady tree, smiling on a sunny day, as did Daisy, dressed in her maid’s uniform and smiling brightly with a basket of lunches in her hands.
I could just put them in my shadow, but then they said that going on an outing wouldn’t be fun, and they decided to pack their bags.
Still, thanks to that, it gave off a picnic feeling.
“Come on, everyone, sit down.”
“Since Christina and I are carrying our luggage, master, will you sit next to us?”
“What? Daisy, are you going to do that?”
Daisy, who clung to her arm cruelly and sat between Christina and herself, and Leticia, who looked like she had been betrayed by Daisy, behind her.
Cristina stretched her seat and pounded her on the floor, putting her hips on her mat.
In fact, except for me and my older sister, who had memories of their previous lives, everyone was just model students who only knew swords and books, so they were awkward and didn’t know how to play.
Cristina and Daisy came out to lighten the mood, and everyone started to ease the awkwardness little by little.
“The weather is nice.”
“The wind is cool too…”
Anna and Iris, who were sweating quite a bit from the sparring, opened their mouths. It seemed to like the cool breeze that blows quite coolly because it is a place along the lake.
“Kuhm.”
Apparently, my sister had subtly cast a spirit and used her hand to make the wind feel cooler.
It reminded me of my older sister’s personality of wanting people to know about it even though she didn’t reveal it to others, so I thought it would be okay if I stroked her like a nice person later when we were alone.
-Am I a kid?!
I vividly recall him getting angry but not clearing his head.
And again.
“Hi-Hi. Please give me a little for today, my lady.”
“Daisy, you too, Cha-am…”
Daisy smiles shyly at Leticia, who has taken the seat next to me, and pulls my arm tightly into her arms.
There was no fear of what would happen if we fought.
Not only Daisy and Leticia, who were originally master-servant relationships, but others as well.
If there was only one seat next to me, the emotional goal might have deepened, but before that, everyone had already declared that they were my women.
─Who wants to increase women like this?!
─Anyway, you pervert bastard really…
─You were lying around in the study with Eileen during the day, right? … Won’t you do it with her mouth
I’d rather be sorry for me like that and complain about it at night.
It’s not just one or two people, so it’s embarrassing for me to accept it even if everyone just taps and expresses their regret.
How to accept it as much as I brought it on myself in the first place.
“Shall we open the lunchbox soon?”
Cristina, who took the seat next to me on the other side of Daisy, lifted her basket with a smile.
Out of consideration for Leticia, who dislikes sunlight, they went out for a picnic long after lunch and close to dinner.
The sun was already setting, and the glow of the sunset was softly casting over the lake.
“For some reason, I was a little hungry. ─Aww.”
“No. Everyone should eat together.”
“… Well, first of all, the girl is a saint, and her sisters are nominally listed as nuns, aren’t they? This kind of handcuffs…”
Seeing Adela, who had been showing signs of not wanting to follow her, sneakily reached her hand into her basket, Christina stopped her with a slap on the back of her hand.
When Adela, who was hit on the back of her hand spicyly, tried to explain the hierarchical order inside the church.
“Come on, everyone, please sit down.”
Cristina turned her head away and removed the cloth from her basket.
The baskets were neatly filled with things like sandwiches and fruits that were colorfully and beautifully decorated.
“Wow, when did you do all this?”
“Looks delicious.”
Luna and Leticia.
The two older sisters sneaked up to me and gave a small admiration. Christina and Daisy seemed to be happy with the packed lunch.
No matter how delicious you usually eat, the food made by the person you are with is special.
“Wow, everyone slow down, calm down…”
As we started grabbing sandwiches one by one, Daisy took turns handing out drinks.
“Joy.”
She was the first to reach out her hand, but Adela, who was finally handed it to her, had a dissatisfied face inside.
Even that is just one of the pleasures of outing.
Hierarchy blah blah blah.
Adela knows that too, so she must have said something she wouldn’t normally do. She must have played a prank on her by loosening her heart.
“Now then, let’s all start by praying before meals. … Excuse me! Isn’t the girl still talking?!”
He is very faithful to his role as an idiot who really raises the atmosphere.
… It’s a concept right?
“Iris, don’t remove the cucumber.”
“… That, some cucumbers.”
“What. Is Iris picky? I’m still young…”
“She says there are things she doesn’t eat, so being young is a prejudice… !”
Iris, who was caught sneaking out a cucumber from her sandwich, was thrown around again.
Iris exclaimed, “Let’s see, you guys… “, She gnashed her teeth.
Her wish did not come true in the end.
“Brother…”
I couldn’t help but turn my head away from Iris’s glare as she clung to me with her tear-stained face as if to ask for her help.
Sorry.
… I don’t like cucumbers very much either.
─ Yum yum.
Still, it wasn’t quite as bad as Iris’s, but I pushed it into her mouth and carefully dipped it.
“Look at that. Scarlett eats cucumbers well too. How proud are you?”
“…”
“… Did this go too far?”
It’s not a big deal, it’s a big dog.
