Heibon na Watashi wa Tonikaku Hibon

"Sashalia, Sylvian"

The two of you turn to Rio's call.

"How to contract blood?

"It's easy."

"We don't just exchange each other's blood."

"Yes, I get it. A contract with you."

The words that were supposed to follow "I'm going to tie them together" were blocked by the sound of knocking on the door.

If Wilsus allows him to enter the room, the old butler, who was first introduced to him as the lead butler in this house, tells the visitors.

It was a beautiful woman with long gold hair ponytails who came into the room guided by a butler.

The dark green uniform she wears is something I've often seen in Agana's mansion.

"Excuse me for talking to you. My name is Naira Hallman and I am serving as deputy captain in the private army of the Duke of Inverse."

"Oh, Miss Hallman, it's been a long time. What's the matter with you?

Wilsas responds with a smile to her, who named her Haki in gratitude for her beautiful knight. He looks familiar, apparently.

As a matter of fact, and a little cloudy in words to Wilsas like that, she exhaled relieved herself by doing her eyes to the lapis, each lenient near Rio.

"I had asked Lady Aganazilla to bring the demons to us as soon as they arrived in the territory to which Lady Rio Akizki was subordinate, but they went straight here without responding to this stillness..."

Turquoise blue eyes rocked like trouble.

He may have explained to the people to some extent, but a demon ran through the city to leave the soldiers behind. He must have rushed after me before it got all noisy.

"Uh... that's, uh, what to say... sorry for the inconvenience. Excuse me."

Naira shakes her head in a panic to Rio apologizing as Lapis' head lowers with him, which is nearest.

"No, there wasn't much confusion because I had informed the residents in advance, and I'm glad to see them safely."

Naira, who said so with a slight grin, once closed her mouth, spoke to Rio in a manner that she had decided to do.

"Um, Master Rio"

"Yes?"

"I heard you were going to Devil's Land, is that true?

"Yes, I'm going to make sure the people I care about are safe."

Naira bowed her head vigorously to Rio, who nodded.

"Heh!? Um..."

"Please! Take me too!!

……

Rio, who was surprised and flustered by Naira's sudden behavior, stops moving into her words and looks at Ji and asks quietly.

"What is it?

"... Do you know the tonic?

"Of course."

"He's my brother."

"Heh!?

"Hmm, Tonic's sister?... You don't look alike."

I knew you'd think so.

Wilsus nods at it to Rio, who has accidentally raised his voice to unexpected words, and to Arf, who speaks as much of his thoughts as he thinks. Naira, who raised her head to the reaction of the Trinity, overflowed with bitter laughter.

"I'm like a father, Tonic's like a mother. But seriously, he's my sister-in-law with blood."

"I see. So, uh... (...) or (...) et al. (...), do you want to go with me?

"Because he's my sister and brother," Rio asks if we're going together.

I wonder if that's the real reason.

"... well... no, I was told I shouldn't wait,"

"Huh?"

"I don't know if I can make it home safely, so I was told I shouldn't have to wait. Forget about yourself and live as you please..."

My gaze dropped every time I took the word, Naira, and I finally leaned over.

"Um,"

I was wondering if he was my sister and brother with some deep circumstances, and that's when Rio reached for Naira's shaking shoulder, bah! There was a lot of anger in Naira's face that was well motivated by the sound of the effect.

"That idiot turned to her real sister and told her to live as she please!! Forget about yourself!!

"Huh!? Oh, uh, Mr. Nayla...?

Anger also speaks to dew. Rio takes a step away from Naira.

"Don't you think I'm fooling around!? Live what you like!! I love it enough to live!!

"You know, Naira?

"Sure! Ever since my parents died, I've been working day and night to earn my living and his tuition! Still, I narrowed it down to one soldier since he started contractors, and when you started joining the Knights and making more money than I did, you stopped sending money!! Yet what!? He still cares about me!? Unbelievable!! Isn't that Bakka!?

"Naira..."

"By and large, isn't it normal to tell my family to wait for me!? I'll definitely be back, believe me, you tell me to wait. Normal!? What's that? He said we didn't have to wait! Huh? I don't know what that means!?

"... what shall we do, Arf? Mr. Nayla's on a rampage."

"Why don't you just let Lapis bite you?

"And so I said,"

"Oh, suddenly I'm back"

"What, he's a hustler?"

"I want to pay that fool a visit. So take me."

Once again, Rio sees Naira's head deeply lowered with an indescribable face.

"I want to see you for one shot, do you..."

Naira nodded up, saying yes to Rio's whining.

Turquoise blue eyes that restored calm, indeed, were of the same colour as her brother's.

"He said he was dead... that he was not coming home anymore, and if that's what he said, I'm sure he'd give up. I think I was mourning, sad, halfway down, desperate, and, still, able to live through it. But I don't know if it's safe or not, I don't know if it's alive or dead. Oh no... I can't give up in such half-way rewards"

"So do you, right? 'And Rio felt questioned.

I don't know what happened, so I guess I'm going.

I wonder if the truth there will go because I can't help but be sure, no matter how cruel it was.

"Tonic is my only brother. It's just one family. Whatever Tonic says, I believe he's coming home. But it's not as quiet as waiting for a lot of people. If he tells you to live as you please, you will live as you wish. I'd like to take a shot at you looking for an idiot who's worried about you."

……

The presence of "sister" is very "strong" in many ways, and Rio narrowed his eyes thinking of the other Emuril (sister) he knew.

"Well, I say, 'Journey takes the road,' and shall we go find the idiots we worried about together"

"Thank you!

Every family had the same smiling face.
