"Why, why is Sister Ciel!?"

Unexpectedly, I shouted out loud at the appearance of my body.

Why is she in this place?

Are you chasing after me again?

I immediately asked if Liza-san was surprised by this.

"Ciel, you weren't supposed to be home? The second time, it doesn't make sense."

"Hmm, no. I just asked Noah to do it."

"Huh? Is that... your sister was my client!?"

Shell-san nodded slowly at me, almost turning over.

You're kidding. Why would you do that again?

In the first place, Sister Shell would have managed a dragon crusade without relying on me.

If you need any help, there must be plenty of other hands besides mine.

“What the hell are you doing? I didn't expect you to ask Noah for help."

"I don't want Liza to be the only one who says that pride is high." Simply, we need the power of Noah. ”

Do you need my power?

Yeah.

With that, Sister Shell exhaled to calm her heart.

She prompted us to sit down in the chair at the entrance.

There is an indescribable sense of nervousness on the spot.

Eventually, Sister Shell began to talk about the disturbing signs.

"My Royal Magic Institute was attacked by the Golden Dragon."

The giant magic crystal that was stored as research material was robbed.

This time, you and I will crush the Golden Dragon and reclaim this crystal. ”

"... but why does it need Zeke's help?"

"I've had a lot of troublesome situations."

A deep wrinkle stood on Sister Shell's forehead.

Is the Golden Dragon such a troublesome species?

I only knew it was a formidable dragon, but it seemed to have a variety of atmospheres.

"The Golden Dragon probably drains its magic power from the magic crystal and accumulates it in its own body."

If you attack a magic chunk like this with magic, there will be a big explosion in the worst case. "

So, Sister Shell can't handle this alone.

Yeah. But the Golden Dragon's scales can't be slashed without a magical sword.

"... that is to say, fight with only minimal magic power through the sword so as not to explode?"

When I confirmed that, Sister Shell nodded deeply.

It's easy to put it in words, but isn't this a pretty advanced requirement...? "

Sheel-san continues to tell me that I am confused.

"To put it another way, it depends on the situation how much magic power I need to use."

That's why you can't always use a magic sword to exert a certain amount of magic power. "

"That's a lot more difficult..."

"That's why I can only ask Noah." If it's a pure sword technique, it's Liza, but I can't manipulate magic power.

I see, that's why you sent me a request.

But I don't know what happened. Even though I told you the reason, your sister's face is not refreshed.

Liza asks if she was wondering about it.

"What's the matter with you? You look like you can't boil it."

"It's nothing." However, I thought it would be a difficult job. "

It's not always like a confident Shell.

"That's right, even I have my worries." Unlike somebody with a brain muscle. "

"Damn! What are you saying to my sister!?"

The controversy that immediately begins.

Damn it, my sisters always say one more thing!

When some people get together, they start a fight right away...

Why can't sisters get along with each other?

Before it matters, I try to change the subject with Sassa.

"Ah, that's good!" Isn't it unusual for Sister Shell to work for the institute? "

Is that so?

"Because Sis, no matter what I usually say, I don't help the lab."

Shell's sister belongs to the Royal Magic Institute.

However, in reality, it was only about showing its face at several academic conferences a year.

Other than that, I was doing my magic research in my own lab.

Therefore, there was no sense of belonging to the laboratory, and I almost refused when there was any request from the other side.

If she hadn't held the title of Sage, she would have been kicked out a long time ago.

I see. Well, I bit it a little bit to create the magic crystal that was taken away from me this time.

"Is it made? Is it artificial?"

"That's right. I was researching how to collect a lot of small magic crystals and recreate them into large magic crystals."

I never thought I'd be able to put my eyes on a dragon.

Sister Shell gave a thirsty smile somewhere.

Still, something seems to be going on.

But even if you ask questions like this, your sister won't answer them honestly.

When I suppress my curiosity, I pretend to be unaware of anything.

"...... So, when are you going out to the crusade?"

“As soon as Noah and the others are relieved from their journey.”

"Are we going with you?"

"Yes. Mt. Larat is home to other troublesome things besides the Golden Dragon." Please pay for that exposure. "

When Sister Shell said that, Rowga and the others stretched out their hearts to leave it to her.

A-rank Kurta, B-rank Rowga and Nino.

And Liza-san, the Sword Saint, was a very luxurious team.

If that's the case, then for today we'll focus on resting.

"I see. This city's Darjen cuisine is exquisite!"

"Huh... if that's what your sister says, it must be wonderful!"

That's how we got our rest in preparation for the Crusade.
