The Book of Night descends, surrounded by darkness.

Temperatures also start to fall, and as soon as the exhalation touches the outside air, it stains white and dissolves in the universe.

In the dark, there were two moving shadows. It is Raffie and Sylvia. The two of them are just leaving the Wang Capital on a request.

Almost to your destination, but any further travel in the dark would be dangerous.

Having so decided, Raffie stopped on the spot.

"Let's rest here today"

"Yeah, you are."

The two of them get used to it and start preparing for the camp. Spread the tent, start a fire, and remove the ingredients for dinner.

Raffie is exclusively in charge of the bulk of the food, and Sylvia is always there to help. Hot pot today.

Cut the roasted chicken, add the vegetables and seasoning as appropriate, add to the pan and simmer the cottonseed. Raffie opened the lid a while later and handed it to Sylvia by splitting it into vessels.

"Thanks"

"Oh. Let's eat before it gets cold"

It's best to warm your body up on cold days.

The two quietly proceed with the meal. Then, when Fuji Sylvia,

"Speaking of which, where did Mr. Reyes come from?"

"Leis... I don't know either"

They chased me where I lived, but I don't even know Raffie until where she lived. Nevertheless, the fact that I came to Wang Capital would definitely mean that I lived in the vicinity.

"Were you living alone?

"He said he had a master, and I know he wasn't alone all the time... but what's wrong with that?

"No, Mr. Reyes is an amazing man, so I don't know why he's been here."

Sylvia is the same in the sense that she's full of talent, but that vector is different. Sylvia is in the field of magic, and Reyce is in the field of alchemy. Skilled people about areas they don't know are the only ones that attract interest.

"Well, don't worry for sure..."

What is the birth of Reyce? It has just not been told in detail so far, and I am curious. The person wants to erase the period of training in alchemy from his memory.

"Even so, there are quite a few things we haven't told Reyes either."

"Sort of."

Sylvia responds with a bitter smile.

One of the biggest facts Raffie and Sylvia haven't told Reyes is that they're not real sisters. As far as appearance goes, it's history, but it's not enough to say to the two that there's a blood connection at all.

"If I told you we weren't real sisters, would you be surprised"

"I don't know, you'd be surprised to hear that old Sylvia's personality isn't what it is now."

Raffie smiles and jokes. Sylvia, on the other hand, looked at Raffie with a mean childlike eye.

"Back then, I didn't have a lot to organize!

Yeah, I know.

Seeing Sylvia swell her cheeks, Raffie chuckles with a crease and throat.

There's a reason why two people who aren't real sisters live together.

The meeting between the two was almost accidental.

When Raffie was not yet known as the S-Class Adventurer, the two met ahead of her visit at her request.

The request Raffie was receiving at the time was a crusade of a group of goblins nesting in the woods. Sylvia was protected by Raphy where she was being taken by goblins along the way.

Although it was good that Sylvia was safe to help, one problem arose there. I didn't remember Sylvia.

All I remembered was about my name, from birth to the name of my parents, everything is unknown. Sylvia in that condition, there couldn't have been any closeness.

Raffie, who couldn't leave Sylvia alone, picked it up and to this day. I also tried to find parents and relatives, but the results were not fragrant.

"I mean, your sister used to try to take me back, too."

"Well, I didn't help, and I wasn't in financial trouble."

It would be normal to keep it in a children's facility, but Raffie didn't. For her as an adventurer, growing her mechanical track record, life is not difficult where more people provide for one.

"Me, I'm left to take care of you"

"Well, I'm your sister, and you can always count on me."

"Sometimes I want to do something for you."

Pointed lips, Sylvia shrugs.

"Don't you have something you want to do or something you want?

"Hmm, I don't know if there's anything in particular..."

"Grunt... she's my sister with no appetite"

Gacri and his shoulders drop, and Sylvia sighs troubled. Seeing her sister like that, Raffie puts her hand on her chin and thinks a little.

"... right, then next time Sylvia cooks for me"

"Is that okay with you?

"Oh."

Raffie is usually in charge of cooking, but that doesn't mean Sylvia can't cook.

As a favor, it's trivial, but I guess that's enough for Raffie.

"Okay, well, I'll make something after this request is done."

Sylvia grips her fist with such expressions as temperament. Raffie laughs bitterly at her temper that she doesn't think she'll just cook.

Nevertheless, I was glad to think that it seemed important enough to get me in the mood that much.

"Oh, I'll accept any requests!

"Well, I'll think about it during this request."

I don't think there's that much variety of dishes I can make, but Sylvia makes me say it with confidence.

Raffie saw such a pretty sister and felt calm.

"... Now it's time to clean up"

"Right."

The contents of the pan were empty while we were talking.

Finish your dinner and go in to clean up the pans, utensils, etc. you used.

"Well, wash it as usual"

"Yeah."

The dishes used, etc., are always magically produced and cleaned by Sylvia.

Sylvia tried to use magic as she was told.

"... huh?

Dosari and I fell to the ground.

Sylvia herself could not understand what had happened.

"Sylvia!?

Raffie, who detected the anomaly as soon as possible, rushes over to Sylvia, who is falling to the ground.

"What's up!?

"The body, but... it doesn't move"

No matter how much force I put into my hands and feet, I didn't move with Pickle. And Sylvia has already experienced similar symptoms once.

However, the symptoms should have been completely cured by the help of a pleasant alchemist.

"Oh no, how...!

Until now, Sylvia's body was certainly in good health. That's why my body stopped moving as soon as I tried to use magic.

I don't know why, Raffy bites his teeth.

However, from the look on Sylvia's face that seemed painful, I could only understand that it was not good as it was.

"Sylvia, the request is interrupted! Return to Wangdu!

Raffie carries Sylvia with him only the minimum he needs. More than Sylvia can move herself, Raffie has to take herself back to the King's Capital.

"Please, Reis......!

Unconsciously murmuring the name of the alchemist he could count on, Raffie began to drive down the road to the King's Capital.
