My sister-in-law has become a brave man.

Episode 49: "You are the last. 」

Returning to Bardeaux's house on "Space Transfer (Teleport)", Adelaide was sitting on the floor blurry with a blue face.

I went by and said, "Are you kidding me?" He called out, blinking a few times, and then his smiley eyes finally reflected us.

"Master Rio.... Your Highness?... the seal, you've been unsealed.

"I'm delighted," he snapped as he sat on the floor, and Eyre lifted him gently to the nearby chair.

I went to the kitchen to get a drink of water, and noticed that there was hot water I was about to offer, so I decided that I could have some tea.

Once upon a time, I remembered that Oka-san used to make warm cocoa.

At that time, I was taught that warm things also serve my heart with my body.

Something warm must be good for Adelaide right now.

Hearing Eyre and Adelaide talking about pounding, boil water in the hot water that is about to be served, and prepare tea leaves and cups.

That's how I listened to the two of them as they had tea, and Adelaide seemed to have a mouthful of Guenca with Bardeaux, and after Bardeaux left angrily, I found out we were back.

Mouth Genka's cause was that he wanted Adelaide to leave the nearby King's Capital for Bardeaux to be the "real 'protector'" of 'Star Reading Witch'.

Adelaide refused to make Bardeaux a "real 'protector'", but she wants you to come with her if you're ready to get that far.

Bardeaux refused to go with him unless he could be a "real 'protector'".

Looks like there's something going on here for both of us.

After hearing well from Adelaide, who was blurry with a dark face, Eyre closed her mouth to think with a nod of "Hmm".

I went back to the quiet table with three cups of tea and gave them to the two of us.

Suggest to Adelaide to drink, fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-fuh-

"A real 'protector', what?

Eyre answered me as I looked at Adelaide's face.

"I'm talking about the" protector "who dedicated his heart to" The Star Reading Witch "and became semiimmortal.

I hear her hair will be white, her eyes will be red, and her physical abilities and healing powers will be higher.

Do you want me to offer you a heart?

"It's not going to be a living thing.

Put your hands with cups on your knees, Adelaide said with a blue face.

"The magic does not work on the Protector, who has lost his heart from within him and has red eyes (shear cancer) on his grey hair (solder), and no matter how deeply he is slashed and torn with a steel blade, his wound heals quickly.

The Guardian, who served the first generation of "Star Reading Witches," still has a story to tell about being decapitated and not even falling, but walking flat to his rolling head and hitting him with his own hands.

Wow...

Well - I don't want to see it. - Unlike me when I hear it, Eyre, who seems to know the story in more detail, immediately returned the word.

"Did you threaten to make Bardeaux a heterogeneous being? Adelaide.

That power of the 'Guardian' should be limited so that it is used only to protect the life of the 'Star Reading Witch'.

Sure, it will change the color of your hair and eyes and change your physique, but it won't even mean you'll change it to the contents.

Besides, I heard that if the "Star Reading Witch" dwells on the child, the heart will return to the body of the "Protector".

Adelaide put the cup she had in her hand on the table and saw Eyre with a face that had lost her expression.

"I hear that when the 'Star Reading Witch' with the heart of the 'Protector' dies before he dwells in his child, so does the 'Protector'.

It took me a few seconds to understand what I was trying to say.

Adelaide is.

You're telling me that I'm going to die without a child, so I know I'm going to take you on the road and I can't make Bardeaux a real 'protector'?

The noise of a noisy city sounds louder than usual in a properly chilled room.

After a while, Eyre asked.

"You saw your own death?

"... no.

Answering the question, Adelaide shut her mouth.

Then Eyre looks at me and says, "Tell him about my sister".

At this time? I thought so, but I think I have an idea.

Okay, I nodded, and I told him that my sister-in-law Heavenly Sound had been convoked as a brave man, a man of another world.

Adelaide was very surprised, but she seemed to believe me when I unraveled the magic and showed her black hair and eyes, affirming that Eyre, who had the power to discern authenticity and falsehood, was the truth.

I'm not just surprised, but confused.

Eyre said, watching how it went.

"Adelaide, you told me that when my seal was lifted, you would go to the brave, right?

Your cooperation or not will have a great impact not only on the brave, but also on the future of Rio, the brave sister.

Whatever the story, I am not going to be forced to listen if I decide that you are not what you are supposed to say to me.

But if that story involves your life or death, I want you to tell Rio.

My heart was not here, and Adelaide nodded sneakingly, seeming to have been looking at me for some reason and not listening properly to Eyre.

Lost, confused, I say with eyes like I'm looking for something by hand.

"Rio never appeared in my vision of the future.

Though I've seen you brave a few times, it's odd that Rio, a visitor from different worlds, doesn't show up at all, even though she's an unconnected sister-in-law of blood.

Besides, not only me, but my mother, who foresaw His Highness's predicament, was unable to capture the figure of Lady Rio, who was helped by His Highness, and she said, "Two people with children who have lost consciousness".

And I have heard that there was once only one existence in which the 'Star Reading Witch' could not be captured in the vision of the future.

What are you trying to say? Adelaide asked me while I was tilting my neck.

"Master Rio. Doesn't the name Surrell Ode sound familiar to you?

"Surrell Ode? That's the name of the southern country, isn't it?

When asked back, Adelaide thought about it and changed the question.

"So, what about the cat you called Sarrell?

What occurred to me when I was asked was the voice that appeared at the end of the memory that had been refluxing when I was caught in the trap of the Book of Amber (Ambroid).

Sarrell, and.

Though I call my name in a gentle voice, for a man, his finger's thin hand gently strokes my back.

Hanging out on my own, my tail broke.

... Is that tailed Sarrell, a cat?

I didn't know what to say, and when I saw me with the answer, the confusion disappeared from Adelaide's face.

Ask in a tone close to certainty.

"Didn't you tease the same world as the second generation brave man, Tenma Cytow?

"Hmm... I can't say absolutely. Does it look like the same world?

I call it 'Pandora' for a flying ship, and I think you're Japanese when you just ask for your name.

I answered with my neck tilted, stopping Adelaide, who tried to say something more, with Eyre in a sharp tone.

"Wait, Adelaide. Don't go ahead."

"But if you do...!

"If I'm going to say what I think, it's going to be about the dragonman's legacy. Didn't I?"

Adelaide closed her mouth to see if she could argue, even though she looked strange.

There, Eyre asks with a harsh look, not even a fraction of the usual serenity.

"Do contemporary 'Star Reading Witches' break their promise to dragon men with temporary emotions?

The harsh glance that swept away the faint anger was so cold that it seemed to freeze.

Speaking of which, I think Adelaide told me that the Ancient Dragon Enchanted Dragon and the Beast Man (Shapeshifter) are "a race that values keeping promises."

The dragon man that he was born in the meantime seems tough about promises, too.

Adelaide, who was slapped head-on with intense cold air, breathed out and blued ahead, but managed to speak out and answer.

"... I have no idea, and I'm sorry.

After a few seconds of silence, Eyre nodded and accepted the apology.

"As for this story, I will return to my country and offer it to the Senate. Wait for the right time.

Adelaide sat down in the chair and gave a clean salute.

"I'll be waiting for you.

The air I was straining was so loose that I breathed a sigh of relief.

... that?

Now, that's it?

Wait a minute.

Even if you're convinced, I'm not refreshed?

When he looked at Eyre dissatisfied, he was asked along with a smile that did not make him feel as if he had previously had cold air.

"Ready to be my wife?

Ahhh.

Is that the last story of a second generation brave man?

You talked about being told only by the dragon man's royal family, but you were also told by The Star Reading Witch.

But you can't talk to one of the others without the Dragon Man's permission.

Hmm.

Now, is that where this leads to...

From the questions Adelaide has asked and the stories she has heard so far, the contents of things like the Dragon Man's heirloom, and what Adelaide thinks is "isn't this how it works," I can predict.

Surrell is probably the name of the black cat the first brave man took with him.

So, "Star Reading Witch" was the only thing I couldn't see in the future.

They say he died on the northern continent, but he actually lived, met with a second generation brave man who came to defeat the Demon King, and was involved in bringing him back to his former world.

But returning the second generation of brave men to their original world did not bring Sarrell back to this world, and somehow he was reborn into man.

And I grew up in a world that was the home of the second generation of brave men, caught up in the summons of the third generation of brave men, and I don't want to go home.

That's me.

... Are you serious?

Because I know Buddhism that believes in rebirth, I know it as an idea.

I never really thought about my previous life, so I'm not pinned at all.

Besides, the person who disappeared with the second generation of brave men should have been the Demon King.

With this prediction, the Demon King must have gone to our world, but I've never heard of anything like it.

What do you mean, this prediction is hazy?

... hmm.

If you want to talk to me about the dragonman's legacy for now, let's not think deeply about it now.

Sigh. I said, "I'll be waiting for you -" and speaking of which, it's like we weren't talking about this at first? I remembered.

"So what happens to Adelaide's 'Protector'?

Asked, Adelaide stretched her spine slightly as she calmed down a lot.

"I have been given one prophecy by my mother.

"You will be the last 'Star Reading Witch'," he said.

Until now, I have received what I meant by dying without giving birth to a successor.

So you thought you were going to kill him on the road, and you turned down Bardo's wishes?

Listening as he thought, Adelaide went on to say "but".

"Now that I've heard your story, Rio, I can think that this prophecy might mean something different.

Different meaning?

If I were Sarrell, would there be anything?

When I couldn't understand it and listened, Adelaide looked straight at Eyre without shaking, even though she had just been pounded with awesome cold air.

"I am alone with my late mother in knowing this prophecy.

We have so far kept silent to avoid causing unnecessary confusion.

But now that this prophecy, not my death, has the potential to be fulfilled, I know I want to tell those who need it.

Please convey this prophecy to the senate when you are offered permission to inherit it it, Your Highness.

Adelaide, who greeted Eyre with a silent nod, next turns to me and asks with a serious look.

"Master Rio. Will you allow me to accompany you until I have permission to inherit before the Van Grey Empire?

Yes.

I've been meaning to do that since the beginning, and I'm coming with you.

I've been kind of flushed before, but from now on, call me "Rio," not "Rio."

... So, what happens to Baldeau?
