Vol 1 Chapter 2 (2/2)

A unilateral disadvantage where the opponent uses cheats that can't be detected, of course

humans can't win

—If this was confir, eh”

As if Sora had figured it out, he nodded strongly But at the same time ”Nii—I memorized

it”

shi+ro's voice sounded

”Oh, as expected ofme”

”Ohh, of course As expected of my prided sister, so talented! Very awesome”

Sora stood up and casually stroked shi+ro's head, for which shi+ro responded by narrowing her

eyes like a cat Steph did not understand as going on and just stared at them, before

”Eh? Memorized what?”

”What are you asking about, of course the huht to the amazed

Steph, Sora casually said ”But she really is incredible, eh I still need a bit more time” ”Nii,

ho”

”Huhuhu, for a ht?” ”Nii, how small”

”It, it's, it's, its not small!! On, on what basis—— Steph, are you okay?” Steph was stunned just

by listening to their conversation

With her tone changed, she said

”ThatI didn't hear wrongly right? Did you all just— e?” ”Well, yeah?

So what?”

”(Nods)”

”—In such a short ti me?”

Her face slightly twitched again to confirm it But Sora breezily replied

”This is nothing surprising Since gra

the text settle everything”

”Niithat, you haven't memorized it yet”

”Finishi+ng it in 10 minutes is too fast for your brother Your brother isn't as smart as you, I will

probably still need one more hour Oh yeah, how to read this by the way I can't seerasp

thelaw—”

”That, isn'tjapaneseuse Latin grammar, to read it”

”No, I've thought about that already, but the syntax for the position of the predicate is quite

strange” ”Ancient Chinese”

”Eh? So only the depiction part is in front! How annoying— ah, but now the sentence is

ses”

”For you to learn eighteen different languages, it is already a special case And as for me, I am

just a people person, six languages is already enough for

any difficulties”

—Steph is conversation But the siblings only had a casual

look

Both of the to each other Language, also

could co as the text is memorized

Arranging that sentence, it actually did indeed sound quite simple

However, they didn't enumerate another important fact into their conscious yet Which was—

[No one to teach], which also meant that what they did was not『 Study』 , but『 Interpret』

Co in a short time, yet they did not seem boastful

(In, In their world— is this counted as normal?)

Both of them had already exceeded her comprehension of creatures

Looking at the siblings that were not from this world, Steph felt a chill down her spine However,

at the sa out of her chest

Unless this is Unless she herself

Arepeople that have transcended humans

And they are the ones— ill eventually change the people of this country ”— Hm? What's

wrong?”

Aware of being stared at, Sora turned his head to face Steph, which heated up her inner agitation

even o make tea”

Steph hurriedly left the library in a panic, with her ears dyed red Puzzledly watching Steph

leaving, Sora said

”What's wrong with her?”

But shi+ro did not even give a glance to hi the book ”Nii,

absolutelydoesn't knowa maiden's heart”

”— If I understood that, I would not have kept inity for 18 years already And what does

a maiden's heart have to do with that?”

A scene where an eleven year old girl is preaching to an eighteen year old boy about a maiden's

heart Although men mature later than women

At least for this occasion, this saying was applicable

”Obviously, cos” shi+ro

whispered, and that boast made Sora look triumphant

”In ga a person's mood is a completely

different thing”

That analogy to coames and the so-called female— No, ”so-called human”

Just like a galge, where tens of thousands of time-limited options would jump out every second

Facing that kind of ienerate their own ideas was of course not natural

—But, that ht now ”Okay”

With shi+ro's help, Sora was finally able to understand the hue He read an entire

book to confirm his results

After closing the hardcover book with a 'Pata!' A serious face began showing

”Okay— shi+ro” ”Un”

”You are aware of it already right” ”Un”

The siblings were coe that only the both of them understood Sora,

hesitating and with little insight, asked

”— What do you think?”

But shi+ro closed her eyes and replied ”shi+ro—Will followNii”

Slightly opening her eyes, and showing the usual deadpan look, shi+ro dismissively said

”Just like that promise—no matter, where”

—Promise, yes

Father brought a [Little sister] fro little sister who

was a born talent

And a brother whose innate mind was horrible

Because of the erraticness, both of thes

Eventually, even both parents abandoned them

Without any friends nor coed between them

—Because of being too capable, the little sister was misunderstood by others

—Because of being too incapable, the brother was good at reading others

To s, the ten year old [Brother] from then made an proposal

And the three year old [Little sister] that was capable of es, nodded and pinky

swore Stroking the head of his [Little sister]

Since then, for eight years—

The little sister ould follow her shameless brother— shi+ro However, a brother who did

not even take her out of the rooret, then it was

”In short— co, right?” He stared at the

distant horizon where a chessboard was faintly visible

Taking out his phone, Sora started the schedule planner

Part 4

Steph watched as the boiling water sounded with a 'Gulou Gulou'

Needless to say, when boiling tea leaves, the temperature for the water is extremely important

Acco the tea were pancakes made yesterday

It had been too long since the huhly lacking

She could only use cinnaar for the pancakes, which she made, full

of confidence

—The tea, with the sliced pancakes, were placed on the tray ”Okay, there should be no more

problems”

Feeling a sense of accoently wiped the sweat off of her forehead for a job

well done ”Erm, Ojou-sama”

As if waiting for the chance to approach her, the maids asked Steph ”Ah, what is it?”

”Nosorry for our rudeness, but Ojou-sa?” ”Indeed, you are very

rude Why the sudden question?”

”No, thatif you had just commanded us, we, the maids, would have prepared the tea and

snacks, but you wordlessly did it on your ownand you see to

do it well”

——……………… A-re?

Hearing that, she wondered: why did shesuch a

question for herself, a scenario started appearing in her head [Whoa How delicious Steph,

you're really good at housework, aren't you] Just like that, Sora would hold the teacup in one

hand and smile

——…………Puu, dee

Blood started filling Steph's face ”——AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, what the

helllllllllllllll!!” Shouting this, Steph headbutted the wall

”Why do I have to personally make snacks to prove my own housework prowess! That man, it

would've been enough to just give him that water over there— and that rock, plus the weeds!”

”Oj-Ojou-sama! Please calm down!”

”Ch-chief maid! Oj-Ojou-sama's mentality is unstable—!”

The

into a state of chaos

Part 5

”Ah~”

Sighing sadly, Steph walked in the hallhile carrying a silver tray

On the tray, there were 2 portions— which was the tea and refreshments that were prepared for

the siblings earlier Once again failing to overcos, Steph personally prepared the

iteain

Self-loathing, but at the sa the food and praising

her— ”Can't deny that I am a little bit expectantheh”

However

Steph suddenly stopped

”Wait a moment, Steph This food, will it suit the taste of someone from a different world?”

Steph was confident with her tea and cooking techniques

But, the receivers were not from this world ”Ah—darn it—”

Another scenario swept past her mind

『 Whoa, sorry, but I'll pass on this one』 Sora blubbled with a wrinkly face

”Ahhhhhhhhhis, isn't that bad, the retreat route of saying『 this was made by the maids』

had disappeared already— erm, what kind of retreat route is that! No matter what they think, I

don't really care— no! Ahhhhhhh Reallythis, is definitely a curse”

Getting coht in a state of confusion and helplessness

Taking a deep breath, she started organizing her thoughts to search out an excuse

”Ye-yes Not only being taken as a fool, if I can't even make one cup, or one piece of snack, this

would tarnish the Dora's family reputation But this is unquestionably tasty, it must be the

cultural difference if it was disliked— yeah, this excuse— this”

Chattering everything out

While reciting out the excuse, with both hands that were in an eled to open

the stack room's door

”—A-re?”

—Surveying everywhere, the figure of the siblings weren't there

Wind that caainst the curtain

slightly Arriving to the balconySteph found the siblings there

The butler-dressed brother was currently leaning on the balcony, taking a picture of the street

with his phone

The little sister that was a reainst her brother

while reading a book

—The duo that was always together, wouldn't surprise anyone if they died due to separation

Seeing the pair in a picturesque scene— and their relationshi+p

Her heart started to clench, but Steph reminded herself that it was just a misconception

”What a bustling street”

Watching the commotion outside, Sora said

”—Yeah The selection for the king's position is still ongoing”

Replying, Steph placed the tray on the table that was on the balcony, and started pouring the tea

”Thatplease enjoy” ”Ah, thanks”

”Little sister should drink one too” ”Un”

The initial impression—was a city of a『 Typical fantasy world』 — but noas slightly

different

— Due to the prohibition of war, the city was not daed in any way

The various buildings that resembled Romanesque architecture, classical architecture and

Baroque architecture were intertwined

The road was paved with bricks, a wagon alking up link, and a barque was docked on the

harbor not far away It looked like even steaines had not been invented

Even ricultural practices using a

style that was more ancient than this city

—If war did not happen, this scene would be the perfect reflection of it

Ironically, 『 Che the war, so that fertilizer and fuel was

dependent of technology to significantly leap forward

Then again, the books seen in Steph's library were almost entirely written by hand—

raphy wasn't invented yet or it was still not popularized

”Renaissance of the Medieval Europe Or probably before being contaminated by the

industrial revolutionwhat a beautiful city”

”Copied referencesfroameyou worked hard”

—But, Sora thought

According to God's words, the great here the celestial body turned this into a scorched

earth, was probably thousands of years ago

That is to say, since the conclusion of the『 Oaths』 , it had been a few thousand years already

And [Huic

The sainal world

After thousands of years, their world level was still stuck in the early fifteenth century

—How about those racial civilization that could use ic to cheat, as their situation

Sora suddenly asked

”Ne, Steph—you, why do you want to be the King?” ”—Ah?”

”I heard that its because you will no longer be royalty, and that you were desperately trying to

disprove this rumor” Sora recalled back what he heard in the Inn Tavern But

”—That, it doesn't matter anymore”

—In the final analysis, ruh and it would be over She stood next to

Sora and overlooked the street view

”—This country— Elchea, is considered pretty big right?”

Looking into the distance— past the norht, she continued

”In the past, the world had several huest”

Prideful, yet self-depreciative, she continued

”But since the introduction of the『 Ten Oaths』 , this had become the sole『 Last country』 for

mankind already” ””

”It looks very lively right? ButElchea istowards the path of destruction”

Once again looking at the hustle and bustle of the street, but this time her expression was

depressing Following the line of sight, Sora easily iined it out

Losing territory, a se population

Lack of resources and food would eventually lead to econonation

Wanting to produce food, yet no land to do so, and with no outputs, there would be no labor

positions Although the order made by the『 Ten Oaths』 was stable,

—He thought of the tiroup of thieves

Sora gazed towards the direction of the cliff

shi+ro as leaning on her brother's leg and reading a book, browsed towards Steph

”The previous king—him into an impasse,

which was the capital With the hu streak, the situation would keep

deteriorating”

Clenching her fist, Steph bit down on her lip

”Accused of being stupid, yet still thinking of saving the country, wasn't wrong in anyway—”

—If land was not taken back, humans won't be able to multiply indefinitely

Rather than waiting for its demise, it was better to find a way out from this poor environment—

was it ”I—want to save Elchea”

Steph was trying to fight back her tears

”Prove to everyone that Ojii-san wasn't wrong—the continuation of the human

kindactively take the offensive to recapture territories, otherwise in the near future,

humans will really be extinct”

—This sentence came out painfully from Steph With her usual expression, shi+ro indifferently

asked ”……Stephlikethis country, this world?” ”Un un—of course!”

—S with tears Steph promptly answered

However, in contrast with her actions, both siblings lowered their heads ”How great,

ah”

”Yeah, it really is enviable that one could assert it out” But—Sora used a calm, yet

indefensible tone of voice

And shattered the glimmer of hope that Stephanie Dora had ”But that sort of wish cannot be

accomplished”

”—Wuh”

”And, to say so worse—”

He got close to the speechless Steph and attacked(Verbally)

”Your grandfather—right here right noill say he is the worst foolish king”

—…………

Looking like she was trying hard to squeeze out words, Steph opened her

silence

”—Wh-Whywould you think so?”

Biting her lips, the feeling of nails digging into the flesh of her palm could be felt

If violence wasn't prohibited in this world, those words would have rewarded a slap across

Sora's face Even so, Steph was still furily remarked

Obsessed with him—no

Noin love is, she could not forgive such verbal abuse

But for this question, Sora sighed and took a photograph using his phone

Reminiscent of the European city from the fifteenth century

No reasons to go to war, the old and new buildingsa beautiful city

However, precisely because of this—remorse could be felt

”If this goes on—this country will perish At the sa is

going on” The unexpected phrase came out

Using a hysterical tone, the confused Steph retorted

”Wh-Why would you say that! Precisely because this wasn't supposed to happen that the

selection of King was created”

The somewhat helpless Sora and shi+ro lifted their heads to look at the sky

A different shade of grey from what they were familiar with, like the color of a spilled blue ink, a

generally blue sky

—Then, both of theht of the events when they had just arrived The words that ”God”

said to them

All decisions decided with a siame, the world similar to a chessboard, [Dischord] My—

shi+ro's—

—A dream world

—New lease of life—world

”Steph, ill this ga assembly end?”

Although Steph did not accept the words said previously and looked unhappy, she still replied

”—Today is the last day”

Setting her line of sight on the eastern side, what looked to be a King's city

”In the evening, the last game will be played in the hall, if there are no people ould raise

objections to the final victory, then the victor will be the new kingis there any problem?”

Closing the book with a 'Pata', shi+ro stood up Stretching his waist, Sora patted his cheeks ”—

Yosh!+ Eh, little sister”

”Un”

”No matter what your brother does, will you follow?” ”Un”

”Instantaneous reply eh And I was prepared for so to—” ”Liar”

”Hm?”

”Nii, looksvery happy”

As expressionless as usual

A shts of Sora ”—Haha, busted by you right?”

Ending it, both of the City”

”—Aa?”

Seerasp what Sora had said, Steph sent out a silly voice However, not

”I aht” ”——Aa?”

Sensing that Steph was hastening from behind

Sora confirmed the matters in his phone's schedule planner

—『 Target』 —In any case, beco a wry smile, Sora pocketed his

phone

”Rarely obtaining a neorld, it would be troublesome to come to a place where it keeps

losing” ”(Nods)(Nods)”

”Then let's go be king, and snatch back the territories”

—Was that misheard?

Stephanie Dora tried to carefully confirm as said earlier

Then, when it was confirmed that she had not misheard, she looked at the man's back A relaxed

tone as if going out to buy so

But wanting to confirm a piece of the matter, the rebellious self-confidence and a sense of

trust— Theto recapture the territory of humanity

”Ah, right”

Grabbing the snack from the balcony table, Sora stuffed it into his mouth ”—Ah”

Facing towards Steph who had forgotten that the snack was even there, ”Un, delicious The

refresh his head around, he smiled towards

himself

Her heartbeat increasing violently, was it because of the [Oath]? Even Steph was not sure of that

now
