chapter 64
64 – 7. Monbungi, the Empress, and Her Sister (13)
I don’t know why Nemesis is scared again, but I said.
“…I don’t want either of you to fight anymore. So, let’s apologize to each other.”
“Apology, I didn’t do anything wrong…”
I frowned when I saw Nemesis mumbling like that, sticking out her lips with a sullen expression.
“Nemesis.”
Once again, I called out to Nemesis, and only then did the stinging Nemesis respond in a dispirited voice.
“Ah, I understand… So, please don’t look at me with such scary eyes…”
…I was just staring.
I sighed internally as my natural eyes became more sinister even with a slight frown.
anyway.
This time I looked at Raysonia.
I flinch.
Raysonia shrugs her shoulders when she catches my gaze.
I said this to Raysonia.
“Okay then, Ray. “Since you are… my ‘sister’, please apologize first.”
Making each other apologize was just a stopgap measure.
There are so many times that we apologize to each other only in front of me and then end up teasing each other behind my back.
so.
The solution in this case was to strengthen ‘hierarchy’.
Then, a miracle will happen where you will almost certainly stop fighting.
Anyway, when I tried to give Raysonia the role of ‘older sister’ in such a hierarchy, Nemesis suddenly raised her head and spoke.
“…Now, wait a minute. This body is over 100 years old?! That girl named Ray is human, so she’s definitely not younger than me! Why is this body not my ‘sister’?!”
That’s it.
“…For a dragon that lives for over a thousand years, isn’t 100 years old, but isn’t it only 10 years old for a human?”
According to a simple calculation, it was roughly the same.
“Well, where is that law?! No matter what, this body is clearly one hundred and twelve years old… so it is true that this body is my older sister!”
Well, that’s right.
There was a bit of ambiguity in calculating age differently because the races were different.
This was because there were significant individual and racial differences.
however.
Isn’t your mental age exactly like that?
You pretend to be an adult, but you’re a mite.
In the first place, the way dragons differentiated a hatchling from a Jackie Chan was not by ‘age’ but by the ‘power’ they ‘possess’, so Nemesis was a case where he was treated as a Jackie Chan early on, even though he was at an age where a normal dragon would have been a hatchling.
in other words.
Judging by the dragon’s age, it seemed like it was still a mite.
…And, I knew a method that would work well for that mite, Nemesis.
He fully demonstrated his skills in handling countless younger children in orphanages.
“Okay then, Nemesis. You should apologize first. “If you’re ‘sister,’ you can do that, right?”
“What?!”
Since when I was younger, I tended to think that apologizing first meant losing.
My younger siblings, including my past and present lives, have proven this.
Nemesis was seen suffering while the two present-day younger sisters blushed, as if they were remembering something from their childhood.
“Uh, uhh. Ha, but this body didn’t do anything wrong…”
and.
Raysonia, who had already been subjected to the Ern Bachard style hierarchy determined by ‘older sister and younger sister’ before, spoke first.
“Like my brother said… I couldn’t say anything about what my brother did. “I’m sorry, Nemesis.”
Since Raysonia apologized first, Nemesis, who no longer had to worry, was seen to be embarrassed.
Nemesis, who was shaking as if buffered because he received the apology too obediently, soon crouched and spoke.
“Uh, uh, um… Well, I, I too… Yes, I was sorry…”
like that.
It’s over.
Of course, what ended up being the fight over the ‘cloak’ between Raysonia and Nemesis.
There were others left.
As I winked, Cerise obediently came over and set up the tea and refreshments I had left there.
“Oh my… what a nice smell.”
“…Well, well. “It’s not bad, it’s not.”
“Um… I’ll accept it gratefully.”
“…Thank you.”
…Kyra and Liline expressed their gratitude to Seris, while Serena and Ruminas… the two young ladies remained calm, as if it was natural.
what.
Ruminas, contrary to her impression of being a ‘classy young lady’, was in fact the type of person who responded with complete indifference to things she was not ‘interested in’, but Serena was a girl with that type of personality to begin with.
Kyra originally felt like that.
Lilly’s… Yes, it was because she became quiet and had a temperamental personality, probably because she was drinking a little less energy.
anyway.
That’s what those four are like.
“Uh, uhm… Does this make me the ‘younger brother’? Because I didn’t apologize first, right? Is that something like that? huh? “Teacher… please answer me…”
I gently pushed away Nemesis, who was bothering me by pulling on my sleeve.
There are a lot of empty seats, so I don’t know why they come next to me like this.
Anyway, I said that while pushing Nemesis aside.
“First of all… Aside from the fact that the reason you all came here was because of a minor misunderstanding… Anyway, you came for me, so I would like to express my gratitude. But, that’s it… It’s quite late, so everyone, please pick up the tea and calmly return to the dormitory.”
There was still one thing left to do, which was to send away these people who had invaded without any special invitation.
Anyway, the first person to react when I said that was Serena.
Serena frowned and looked at me and said.
“…Wait. What is it? This Serena Arista only came to visit me in the hospital, but she’s showing such an attitude? “Do you know how many Elyos will shed tears and thank me when Serena Arista visits?”
“…Thank you for that, but as you can see, I’m fine. “Now that you’ve confirmed that I’m safe, can I go back?”
“Well, that is.”
Serena, who had a sharp head, lightly refuted the question.
Of course, I knew that Serena was not the one to give in here.
“…That is true! There’s no need to say that, though! Oh my, how worried I was… No, I wasn’t worried at all! “Anyway!”
huh.
I thought it was going to be rainy season.
And I knew a cheat that worked well for Serena.
“…Even though it wasn’t me who was injured. Cardia Bachart right here… It’s true that my sister collapsed a little while ago. We ask for your understanding as we have patients and do not have time to worry about customers. …If you were the daughter of Arista, a famous family in the heavens, you would understand, right?”
That’s right, Serena puts her proud family name on the line.
He was using the rhetoric of saying that he wouldn’t do that even though he was from the ‘Arista’ family.
and.
It worked very well for Serena.
“Ugh, ugh…! Ah, okay! Just eat and go…!”
Serena, who had a slightly tearful expression on her face, brought out tea and snacks and said, “Ah.”
“…Anyway, since you are fine, there is no need for it. You said… she’s your sister, right? “I brought it anyway, so let me give it to you, especially Serena Arista, out of mercy.”
“Wow,” Serena lightly gestured, and a bottle came out of the opened hole.
“…This.”
Of course, the illness wasn’t the important thing.
What was in it was important.
“…T-I brought it specifically for you, so be thankful!”
“…I accept it gratefully.”
This was definitely something that was difficult to just wipe my mouth and move on from.
Originally, it was also an item that Serena gave to her ‘teacher’.
Anyway, Serena calmly said she would go back after finishing her tea.
“…Ruminas, the same goes for you.”
“Oh my… well, I can’t help it. By the way, teacher. “I have something to ask, is it okay?”
“what?”
“Not long ago, I also found some monberries. However, it doesn’t taste as good as the one the teacher made. “Can I find out what’s going on?”
Of course it is.
What I gave you was mixed with my blood.
But I couldn’t tell you that.
“…This may be because the taste and effects of monberries vary depending on the cultivation process.”
“aha. indeed. So that was it. “Definitely… what I ate yesterday felt a little ‘different.’”
Ruminas was seen licking her lips while saying that.
“…I would say it felt a little more ‘thirsty’ than usual…”
…For the vampire Ruminas, estrus is, so to speak, a state in which the desire for appetite becomes extreme.
It was natural for Ruminas to feel that way about the Monberry commotion that took place yesterday.
They were a race where s*x = food.
however.
…Why are you looking at me?
Soon, he was drinking the tea I had made with a suspicious smile on his face.
“oh.”
I was taking a sip of this Bloody Monberry Tea to see if I liked it and watching Ruminas drink it well.
“…Lily, you…”
“Oh, yes. Well, I’m going back. …Because the teacher looks fine too.”
Lily said that hesitantly.
Well, I was glad that was the case.
“…Nemesis?”
“…this body too will return.”
Good to see you.
Well, all that’s left is…
“Kyra, you too…”
“Uhm, I can’t help it. Well, since I saw an interesting scene, I’m satisfied with it as is.”
…Fortunately, it seemed like Kaira was planning to go home calmly.
however.
“By the way, teacher. “I have a favor to ask.”
…I wondered if he was asking for something, but since he had already answered Ruminas’ question before, why not just do it to Kyra?
“Say it.”
“Can I talk to Cardia and Ray?”
“…Why are you asking me for permission to do that?”
“This body was lost to Cardia. Although… if it was really a fight on the battlefield, the story would be different, but a loss is a loss. So please do me a favor.”
…When I thought about it, werewolves were also a race with a firm hierarchy of etiquette.
…I wondered if she was taking the appearance of asking me, her older brother, for a favor since she was so reluctant to talk to her after being defeated by the winner, Cardia.
This seemed plausible considering the characteristics of the werewolf race.
The leader determines the various aspects of the tribe, and the group follows him.
…Of course, there was the question of why I had become the head of Cardia and Raysonia with decision-making authority.
Let alone my younger sister Cardia, it wasn’t Raysonia.
If I were to be honest, Raysonia is closer to the leader.
however.
what.
I thought so because the Laysonia here was not Laysonia, the empress of the Holy Human Empire, but my sister, Cardia’s friend, ‘Ray’.
“…Cardia, Ray. “What are we going to do?”
“…Yeah, well. As long as it’s a conversation… So. “What do you have to say?”
First of all, Cardia, who is basically an obedient little sister even though she is a bit ticky, sighed and asked Kyra that question, and Kyra gave me a grateful glance and said.
“…I’m embarrassed to say this after already losing once, but I’ll still ask. Cardia, and Ray. “Can you be my friend?”
Hearing Kyra say those words, both Cardia and Raysonia paused.
“……”
“……”
The two seemed embarrassed when they suddenly received a friend request from Kyra.
It was like that with Raysonia, but Cardia, like Raysonia, was like that because she was a child who had lived a life without friends.
…Just as Raysonia had only Cardia as a friend from the beginning, it was natural for Cardia to have Raysonia as her only friend.
It’s not like there weren’t kids their age.
There was no way for commoners to openly hang out with Cardia in a small rural estate.
Although he was relatively friendly with the commoners.
Still, there was no sense of distance.
The only exception was Raysonia.
Raysonia also had a hard time with everyone, thanks to Bahart’s unique status as the lord’s gourmet, so the only person he could get along with was Cardia.
anyway.
Through this interaction.
It was said that both of them were over 20 years old or similar, so they had only one friend.
and.
The two younger sisters were confused… and eventually looked at each other, then nodded.
“…Well, well.”
“…If only we were friends.”
“thanks. hehehehe, I’m lucky to have strong warriors like you as friends.”
…Well, is this resolved well?
A monumental new friend was also registered in the younger sisters’ friends window.
It seems like it ended without much trouble than expected.
Sighing inwardly, I also put the tea I had brought into my mouth.
