Ashley, when I was twelve.
"Ray, you're gonna be an adventurer, aren't you?
"Huh? What are you talking about?
"You?"
"Master Ashley..."
Ashley and the 11-year-old Rayphone have always acted together since then.
The people of the city of Testers thought of the two as good sisters and brothers, watching them warmly.
"So? Why are you suddenly an adventurer? And Count Asura."
"You've forgiven me. Exclusive around this city, though. I was reluctant at first, but your father is sweet to me. Besides, I can use magic, right?
People who can use magic fall into a precious category in this world.
"You did... because I was that practice bench... how many times have the angels come to pick me up..."
Rayphone with distant eyes.
"Good for you. Meet the angels."
"Not good! So? Why are you an adventurer, Ash?
"To raise Ray's income, right?
"Mine?
I don't think so, Rayphone.
"The tea in Ray's house is always thin. And there's no tea and sweets... and you're in trouble. Me?
"It's not for me after all!
"Oh?"
Ashley tilted her neck adorably.
"Anyway, I'm gonna help you out, so Ray's poor life will be eliminated, too, right?
"Thin tea, no tea treats, poor... the rich Ashley wouldn't know, but I'm happy with my life right now."
"I don't know because I'm rich. And I'm not happy with it, so do it."
It was a rayphone that I think is really selfish childhood friendly.
Uh-huh.
Six months after that.
Once a week, the two who signed up for the guild as adventurers had been asked to crusade and exorcise demons and warcraft around the city of Testers.
And, uh...
They were picking up a pinch.
"What's a dozen goblins..."
"You're definitely over a hundred."
The two men who had been asked to get rid of the goblins were surrounded by more than a hundred goblins.
"Ash, what about magic?
"Well... there may not be any more left"
'Cause you're gonna get on with it and unleash magic.'
"'Cause I heard about ten bodies..."
"Huh - I can't help it... Ash, I'm sorry, but I need you to sleep a little"
After sighing, Ashley closed her eyes and fell to the ground when a sudden drowsiness arrived the moment she heard Rayphone say it.
But...
Ashley wasn't asleep.
And I opened my eyes softly.
My body can't move without force.
(What happened...)
"Well... while Ash is asleep, let's just get this over with..."
Rayphone thought Ashley was completely asleep.
(Ray......?
"Swallow these guys... everything!
Then a black space appeared above and swallowed the goblins one after the other.
And... all the goblins are gone.
(Is that magic, is it? Ray did? Magic?
Ashley seemed like she was dreaming.
Then again, when the sudden drowsiness came, Ashley really fell asleep.
Uh-huh.
"Wake up, Ash!
"What?"
"Suddenly out of magic, Ash sleeps, so you're in trouble."
Where Ashley woke up was in the bed at Rayphone's house.
"What about goblins? What happened to those goblins over those hundreds?
"What are you talking about? Ash fell and fell asleep after he defeated about ten goblins, right? That's why I couldn't help it."
It's a lie.
Ashley did see Rayphone using magic with the goblins over a hundred... but
"... yes"
Ashley nodded heavily without disputing.
Then Ashley never saw the magic of Rayphone.
Ashley didn't touch it even though she felt Rayphone was hiding something and keeping it a secret.
