Chapter 20 (2/2)
“You two are really siblings? Sorry for doubting you.”
…… Humans are really mysterious. To think that there's such unsimilar siblings.
I've been comparing their faces, but the more I look at them, the more different they look. There's really no speck of resemblance between them.
If I have to say in which part that they're similar with each other, then it'd be that they are both human beings.
I still can't believe it, but since both of them say so, most likely that's indeed the case.
“Well it's indeed true that we're world apart, though. I even wonder to myself as to why we're this different.”
“Onii-chan is scary but gentle.”
“I see.”
To casually utter such follow up, quite a good sister she is.
”Ortemichan is very cute, isn't she?”
Firia says so while bending her knees to match Ortemia line of sight.
After having her eyes swimming a few times, with her face slightly blus.h.i.+ng, Ortemia says.
“… Thank you. You're also pretty and cute, Firisan.”
“~?! Is, isn't she a bit too cute …?!”
Somehow, looks like Firia's in agony nearby.
“What should I do, Yuri-san? At this rate my position as being the cutest in the world will be in danger!”
“Yes~ yes~, you're right~.”
“Don't be stupid, Firichan, without a doubt Ortemia is the world cutest!”
“Onii-chan, it's embarra.s.sing, so stop it … …. I'll hate you, you know?”
“NO!! I'm really sorry!”
As if in despair, Babandon'gas desperately shakes his head.
My word, Babandon'gas is actually a Siscon, huh.
“My younger sister is a genius, you know? In one year since registering as an adventurer, she's already B rank, after all.”
Babandon'gas says so with a smile while caressing Ortemia's head.
Ortemia is somewhat reserved, but while shutting her eyes, she looks very happy.
“Ah, as I thought she's cute …”
Let's leave Firia who's in anguish nearby aside.
“Are you guys also going to partic.i.p.ate in the martial arts tournament?”
“Well, that's the plan, I'm pretty much the last year champion, after all. However, due to a certain reason I can't partic.i.p.ate in this year tournament.”
Hmm? I am indeed surprised that he's the previous champion, but what does he mean that he can't partic.i.p.ate?
“Why?”
“Only adventurers of rank B and below can partic.i.p.ate in the tournament. You can tell what that means, right?”
…… Oh, I see.
“They revoked your adventurer qualifications, huh.”
“Just why? I got up to A rank this year, so I can't partic.i.p.ate in it anymore, that's it.”
I see, so that's the case. I thought I could have a match against him but, what a shame.
“Well that's pretty much why I won't be partic.i.p.ating, however, there's a possibility that you will be up against my little sister you see.”
“If you are, I will cheer for my sister with all my being,” Babandaon'gas happily says so.
In those words of his, I can fully sense how much of a Siscon he is.
“I will be the champion, so if Ortemia also advances to the later stage, there's a possibility that she will face me there.”
“After saying that much, it'd be lame if you end up losing later, you know?”
Firia says so as if to tease me.
Firia's is severely lacking fighting spirit. Is that the characteristic of elves in general?
If she puts her mind to it, she has the talent to go through it all but, what a shame.
I reply to Firia's words.
“There's no people who fight with the intention of losing, so there's no need to think about losing even before the fight begins.”
“Quite a good thing you're saying there, Yuri”
The one who responds to my words is Babandon'gas.
As I thought, we're indeed quite similar. Perhaps he may eventually come to like muscles as well.
“Right? Want to touch my muscles?”
“Huh? W, well, I don't want to impose …”
“I see.”
I try to casually invite him to muscle path, but it ends up in failure.
I think that's where the flow naturally goes to, but…. what a huge shame.
“… … I will do my best, because onii-chan will be watching me.”
“An angel … ….”
Ortemia clenches her small fist.
Seeing that, Babandon'gas holds the corners of his eyes. What an exaggerated fellow he is.
