Life with my Little Sister
Episode 67: Enineve's Decision
"... uncle, sama... And, Abel, dear...?
A young voice is directed at my grandfather and Takazu as it appears.
Maybe I just woke up, but I'm pretty weak.
"Oh, oh..., Eni...!
The chef rushed over and shook his granddaughter's hand.
There is a light spilling out of the connected palm, but is that the transfer of life?
But Enineve tries to pull his right hand in.
"Grandpa, it's good enough...... As it is, your grandfather will fall..."
"I'm fine. Hold on tight..."
I soon found out beside him that the old man was doing what he couldn't.
As Lerada put it, I guess there's nothing but a future of co-falls as it is.
I pulled Abel to the end of the room and asked in a whisper.
"Hey, Abel. That kid, can't you manage to help him?
"... it's harder to help than the nucleus is damaged. Besides, most of my body is already gone."
"Potions don't work, do they?
"... potion is basically what cures' meat '. What makes up Enineve's body is mostly snow and ice, which is ineffective."
"Snow? Isn't that the kid, the ice elf?
"... although my grandfather's chef is an ice elf, his wife is a snow elf. And the Chef's child, Enineve's parents, should have also married Snow Fairy. That kid's proportion is more snow than ice. So Enineve itself is classified as a snow elf"
Ha, in the case of mixes, will the race be determined by proportion?
But it's snow...
Hearing the words, I turned my gaze to the Snow Devil's Sword I gave Leada.
Can't I use that one?
"Can't you rebuild your body with a snow demon sword? I think Lerada said something about making up for the defect."
"... it is certainly the strength of snow elves that can regenerate the missing body with high concentrations of magical caged snow. But that doesn't mean we can cure the nucleus. If the nucleus is damaged, the snow sperm will die, and the regenerative capability will not be activated."
"So, if the nucleus can't be cured, you mean there's nothing you can do"
"... it will. I do not know the means to heal the nucleus. I think that's the same for the chefs."
That would be so.
If you can cure the nucleus, you must be curing it.
While doing so, Enineve made a weak voice.
The chef is listening seriously.
"... Grandpa. Please, but there is..."
"What is it, Eni? Whatever you say."
"… I want to tap the ice…. Delicious, dusty, but..."
"Oh, oh! You got an appetite! Leave it to me!
The chef rose to momentum with delight in his weak face.
Flirty and dangerous.
"Master, if it's ice, I will"
A servant calls out, but the chief shook his head.
"No, there must have been a big ice formation on Holy Lake in my treasure trove! I'll get that!
The old ice sperm finally pops out of the room.
Dropping it off, Enineve called the gardener's name, breathing constantly.
"Laeda, Laeda..."
"What...?
Approaching the girl with a strange face.
Enineve said with a grievous determination on his young face.
"Wah, I,... Can I send it to you...?
"Hey, what are you talking about, Enineve! Do you know what that means?"
The young spirits nodded with a smile against the stunned Leada.
"Ko, this, Ji...... Uncle, I don't want to be bothered... Me, too, won't help, from... I don't want to..."
Is that why you kept it away because you wanted ice?
Without my grandfather, this girl is to end her life.
"Grandpa is very, yasa, shi... So, lid, I don't want to, I don't... Your father also died... I, I, I, I, I... So, uncle, you're so, so desperate..."
"That's not true, Enineve. The chief likes you, so I tried to save you."
As Leada said so, the snow elf girl nodded with a weak smile.
"That, too, I know,...... So, hey, hey, it's a bump...... Lairda, please, take me..."
――――
The ice elf gardener gave a distressed look.
Even she was preaching about the foolishness of forcing a helpless life to be extended, arrow-strength direct hands seems to be another story.
Even I don't want to take on that role.
"... I don't think I can convince the chief to put you in my hands"
"... Yes. That, I know, I'm here... So, Dear Abel..."
The arch elf, whose name was abruptly called, but did not appear to have moved in any way on the surface, approached Enineve.
"... what?
"Lady Lerada, do, do, is... My, will, was, explain, hope, I don't... I'm sure Abel's, his, his, his, his, his, his uncle's, Mana's..."
"... are you good with that?
Instead of a reply, Enineve grinned.
A servant girl cries on her knees.
You must be far more thoughtful than the others than you are serving this house.
I accidentally stared at my own sister.
I was wondering if I could stay calm when something happened to this girl.
When Fee noticed my gaze, he tilted his neck slightly.
"Ha, ha. Are you kidding me?
"Hmm? Right...... right. You don't look well."
"Because I'm frightened of something more or less rude?
"Fee, you, you know that kid's core?
"Come on...? Is that so-so, like this?
I can only see the outside of my collapsing body.
Touch it and let the magic flow and you'll see the nuclear situation, but you can't do it from here.
I had also noticed the magic of Sisty's possession of Hatko, and apparently my sister has a keen sense of magic.
(Right...... Speaking of nuclei, is it finally a crystal of magic?)
I guess that's why I noticed.
Normally, you can't perceive magic without touching it.
Fee says I can feel it somehow.
It is true that neither perception nor perception go as far as freedom as Abel does, but it is nevertheless an amazing talent.
"Um, this, uh, is going to be back...?
Phee visited him as he toured and watched Leada try to reach some kind of conclusion.
To this young girl, you must not know what it means to send her.
"Shall I cure... I guess it feels easier for you."
It will be impossible to say that it is salvation.
But it is also true that there is none other than I think it is Better.
My grandfather did his best, and that child is gone, then, no one can be happy.
Though I can't solve the pain of an old man without a family member and just being alone.
"Um, you're like a skunk, are you going to rework that one?
"Glass, you mean Mr. Lerada? Right. Don't do that."
"That one, like - can you grab it all?
By dealing with magic like me, do you mean the ability to access the roots?
Then it seems impossible.
Abel once described my qualities as "never seen them before". If I could use an acquaintance Leada, I wouldn't say it that way.
When I told her that, my sister tipped her neck again.
"Well, you know what, you're not coming back?
"Right - right. I can't fix it.... so I'm gonna make it easier for you."
But Fi, as it were, walked over to Lerada and slapped him on the shoulder with a pound.
The gardener freaks his body out as a ghost.
"What? What...?
"If you want to do that again, you better ask for it, huh?
"Is...?
"If you don't, you can go back to it, right?
I lost my word to that word, not only around me, but myself.
