Asked Eileen to break into the hotel where Vincent's men were meeting. I depicted the magic letter "Small Spirit" on her body to understand her situation and in some cases to support her.

The effect continued, and Eileen and Cody talked to me. So I learned from the conversation that Cody was not a man.

Cody listened silently, but after I finished talking, I completely overfilled the half of the liquor I had left.

"So, are you okay? I think it's pretty painful to drink it all at once."

"... do you think you can stay without drinking this?

"Ugh... I'm sorry. I've done something... I'll do anything, forgive me. Exactly."

Apologizing to the counter, Cody slapped me on the shoulder, telling me not to go that far.

"No, I just wanted to say, I'm not really angry. There are parts of the flow that can be described as force majeure. There was no way to erase Eileen's magic letters."

"... still, I had a choice not to turn my consciousness towards' small spirits'. But I can't help it because I can hear it, because it's reopening."

"Yeah, it's reopening. Dick is a terrible guy, and he did something he would never forgive."

"That's right... fugah"

Cody pinched me on the cheek with one hand when he saw that it was only natural to be angry.

"I can't help being angry because they already know. That's why you don't care anymore. Okay?"

As I nodded, Cody let go of his hand and laughed. What surprised me was that the hand wasn't a man's. Moisturizes and feels a little cold.

"... this is the best time to get drunk, but don't let me do that with your alcohol. I knew you were more serious than me."

"No, no... if you get drunk now, it's a little dangerous. It will resonate with tomorrow's exploration."

"I knew you were serious. You don't make a lot of jokes in front of me, so can you call me a friend? I've always missed you."

"... I knew you were drunk. Though it's refreshing after drinking, it's a tight drink."

Cody looks at me uncommonly - her gaze is stronger than ever, and I laugh without thinking. I've never even had such an eye when I'm complaining about my job.

And Cody looked at my reaction and laughed and lifted the empty glass.

"I'll forgive you if you make me another drink. From now on, we'll have to take a bath together, regardless of time, but I'll order you not to worry too much. [M] I'll do the same."

"No, you don't have to go in there with me..."

"Friendship makes impossible. I've seen that story somewhere."

If you're a regular cody, say exactly what you think sounds like a joke.

If Cody was a man now, I would have laughed and ended up like that - but it's still the same for men and women. I said I didn't care, but I couldn't avoid conflicting.

◆ ◇ ◆

On the grounds of the Red Twin Pavilion, there is a shared home where sisters and female guild members live.

Lotte woke up again in the middle of the night, noticing that there was no sister sleeping in the next bed, and went down to the living room on the ground floor. Then I saw my sister writing at the table in the pale light of Cantella.

"Sister, you couldn't sleep?

"... yeah. I woke up a little, so I was just keeping a diary."

About the contents of the labyrinth exploration? There were a lot of monsters, but there were a lot of people, so I didn't have much trouble. "

When Lotte realized that her sister's teacup was empty, she went to the kitchen, lit the yakan on fire, and came back again. And look at Shelley's journal from the side.

Shelley's letters written with a quill are fluent, and Lotte is always amazed just by looking at them. My sister, who has always done everything better than herself, was the most proud of Lotte.

"... do you think we're helping Dick and the others?

"That's... it's just beginning, so I don't think we need to hurry. Tomorrow, you will fly to the magical formation on the sixth floor to defend it. The monsters appear to spring even after cleaning, and we have a job to do."

"... Lotte is older than me. I had to."

"Onee-sama...."

Lotte feels sensitive about what her sister is thinking.

Lotte was proud to understand more than anyone else what Shelley, the twin, was thinking and feeling.

When Shelley raised her black gloss, she closed the keyed notebook she was using as a diary and sighed.

Looking at such a sister, Lotte wanted to do it naturally and hugged her sitting next to her.

"... you really want to fight with Dick. But the Demon King Crusaders....."

"Compared to those who are so strong, I'm useless. What I can do is not go with Dick, but protect the back... I know that. That's why I can't say it myself."

"Is it selfish? Just let Dick know how you feel."

For Lotte, who never trusted the existence of a man, it was the first time that his sister, Dick, felt worthy of consciousness among men.

One of the things that the previous guild masters taught me was that no matter how much I hated men, more than succeeding guild masters, I hired men separately and didn't discriminate.

Still, mistrust of the man who gave birth to Sherry and Lotte persisted. The situation changed slowly by acquiring the acquaintance of Dick and Leonid, a great leader as an Alliance Master.

"... thank you, Lotte. But I'm just the same Alliance Master to Dick. I'm just a friend, I can't be any more."

"Honestly, I don't want to give my sister to anyone. However, it is very frustrating for onee-sama to withdraw without taking any action. I can't forgive you for making such a beautiful, deep, impeccable sister sleeve without noticing anything."

"Lotte... I'm just a friend of Dick's. Never say anything extra."

"Onee-sama...."

There's no way you won't notice it, or you don't know it.

Being twins can make you attracted to the same man. After all, if Sherry and Dick were to color each other, we might be able to get happiness unexpectedly easily.

But Lotte knew that even if she suggested such a thing, it would cause trouble for her sister.

Miralka Elis is noted by men in King's Landing and is regarded as the most beautiful woman in the world. Lotte knows how close she is to Shelley, who is no less attractive than her.

If my sister can't be brave enough, I'll have Dick - Lotte thinks so, too confident, Miralka and the woman with Dick won't win easily.

Lotte notices as she scorches the dilemma. Sooner or later, Dick is more anxious than his sister.

"... Lotte, the hot water is pouring."

"Ah... but I'm sorry, sister, I'll make tea soon."

Lotte walks away from her sister and into the kitchen. I heard my sister's voice in the living room as I was trying to remove the lid by removing the whistling yakan from the fire and using a wet cloth.

"... thank you for worrying me."

Lotte was delighted at Shelley's words, but at the same time hurt her chest.

It's not my fault, it's not my fault. After all, my sister is seriously thinking of the master of the silver water bottle pavilion.

At the end of the day, when I was transitioning, my attitude toward Dick was not good because I had not seen him and his party associates being close for a long time.

Lotte thinks about what she can do to make Dick more aware of her sister's presence during her labyrinth exploration.

Exploring the hierarchy that Dick and the others passed through would help him discover the secrets of the labyrinth he didn't realize.

Considering it strange, Lotte poured the tea leaves into the cup after steaming them thoroughly in the pot of pottery. I want to talk to my sister before dawn this evening.

Not just for Dick. To grow up as adventurers and contribute to peace in the King's City. Lotte replaced her personal motives with a cause, sat across from her sister, and started proposing policies from tomorrow.
