Since the story of the other world began - a few days.
Me and Yotaki were slowly beginning to get used to our new environment.
To be honest, it's a world with a lower cultural level compared to the original world.
Even though we are living in the fine rooms prepared in the castle, there are frequent complaints about modern humans. Water and other food-related issues, hygiene and customs. The list of examples is endless.
Nevertheless, the world was a much brighter place than the one I was in before.
There was no fear of losing one's family and not knowing when one would be alone. With Yangtaki, even if the sun is blocked by dark clouds, it's still heaven.
If I had been summoned to another world alone, I would have gone mad with anxiety. If I'm not good at it, I may have even thrown a tantrum just because I couldn't take a hot shower.
It's a good idea to be able to think of a joke like that, because I was able to afford to live in another world.
-- and in that affordance, my new day begins.
I woke up in a room in Fusoya's Castle.
The room is about 10 tatami mats in size, with an unusually high ceiling. The floor is covered with a plain carpet, and on top of it are the minimum amount of furniture such as a bed and a table. It's a room with very few things for its size. It is said that there used to be a lot of furniture and other things in this room, but due to the country's continuing financial difficulties, the room has been kidnapped by merchants who came from abroad. From this, we can understand the situation of this small country, Fuzzy Yards.
Yotaki and I, who are sharing the room with others, wake up at the same time and prepare for the day's work.
It was in the middle of that process. A light knock sounds at the door of the room, and after getting our permission, a samurai woman enters the room.
'Good morning, Kanami-sama and Hitaki-sama. I have a delivery for you two today from Diprakra-sama.
The woman with the customary drooping red hair was clearly not Japanese, but she spoke Japanese without a hitch.
This is another result of our brother and sister's adaptation to another world.
While I was developing the spellcraft 《Level Up》, Yotaki had completed another spellcraft.
I'm sure that Yotaki said he was just taking a break from watching me under the shade of a tree because he was bored, but there's no doubt that ...... is unusual.
At that time, Yotaki's words were really light and I remember them well.
''--Ah, I see. Thanks to my brother, I'm starting to understand most of it. In other words, we can use Japanese as a 'substitute' and demand the otherworldly language from the world, right? I have already mastered our language, you see. All you have to do is to create a Japanese-Russian dictionary in your mind and use it as your 'jutsu'. And I don't think of it as being too difficult, I just think of it as dubbing a novel or a movie.
A few days later, the spellcraft 《Reading》 had been completed.
It was such an easy solution to the problem that I wondered what the efforts of me and Tiara on the first day had been.
This is a stopgap for Yotaki to rest.
If my sister was perfect, then there might not be any reason for my existence.
Even though I feel a bit of a complex like that, I am grateful for Yotaki's ”Reading” spellcraft. Now I won't have to exchange poor language for a long time with Tiara. In this way, I can even communicate with the otherworldly maidservant.
It's a good morning. ...... delivery, could it be the clothes you've been wearing?
Yes. It's a costume made by Mr. Di Prakula for Lady Hitaki.
With a smile, the maidservant smiles and brings me a piece of fabric in her hand.
Incidentally, she is our personal maidservant who has been taking care of us for a long time and comes to wake us up every morning like this.
I receive the fabric she gave me, and when I find out that it is what she had promised me before, I squeal with joy.
''--! I knew it! Thank you for bringing it to me! This will help relieve the symptoms of the Yangtaki!
'Yes, no ....... I was just doing my duty as a maid of honor .......
Holding the fabric under his arm, he grabbed the attendant's hand with both hands and thanked her for her help. Then, he quickly handed it to Yotaki and headed for the exit of the room.
''Yotaki, look! It's that thing. I'm out of the house, you need to change now!
When asked to change clothes with me, Yotaki agrees with a sigh.
''...... haha. Even if you don't say so loudly, I'll change my clothes. Please wait for a moment.
I left Yotaki, who immediately began to take off his loungewear, and I walked out of the room with the maidservant. The maidservant had offered to help Yotaki change clothes, but she had refused with a gentle shake of her head.
I walked out of the room into the hallway and shook my body as I looked out the window of that passage.
I'm too excited to calm down.
I'm too happy that Yotaki's medical condition is being resolved and improved one by one. After all, until I came to this other world, I've only seen it get worse. Because of that period of time, my joy is multiplied many times over.
Thus, while I'm waiting for Yotaki to come out of the room now and then, the attendant next to me calls out to me.
''--Kanami-sama.''
Hmm, what?
...... This morning my sister was able to move on her own legs. Thanks to Kanami-sama's miraculous gifts, she is now able to move on her own. Since then, she has really ...... become a lot better, and that .......
Unusually for an attendant who was loyal to her duties, she would talk to me about her personal affairs. It was about the spellcraft 《Level Up》 experiment I had conducted during the past few days.
''Good! You got better after that ....... Your sister was one of the most serious cases I've ever seen, and she couldn't speak ...... so I was actually a little worried about her.
Yes, my sister was just waiting for the end ....... But now my sister is alive. Thanks to Kanami-sama, we were able to exchange greetings this morning. ......
A few days ago, I performed a spell on the younger sister of the handmaiden who was affected by the ”demon poison”.
The process is simple. I thought I would be a long-time friend of the resident handmaiden, and after asking her a lot of questions on the first day - I found out that she had a sister who was terminally ill with the same disease as Tiara.
I couldn't think of it as someone else's problem, so I immediately forced out her sister's whereabouts and treated her as best I could. The results of my efforts were evident today.
But we mustn't let our guard down just yet. You must not be too careful when you are in the process of healing. The most important thing to remember is that my spell is still in its experimental stage and still in its infancy.
'Kanami-sama's power is a miracle! To this day, I've seen a number of friends die out from The Devil's Poison: ......! I'm sure my sister will be the same way: ......! Yes, I thought so: ......! But by the miraculous power of Lady Kanami! My sister is, my sister is ......!
The maidservant began to tear up as she spoke, her cheeks flushed, and she gripped both my hands tightly. Then, even more excited than I was, she thanked me again and again.
'Thank you, Kanami-sama ....... Thank you so much ....... Someday, I will definitely repay this miracle with both my sisters .......
'Uh-huh. Thanks ......
I couldn't speak any other words because of my maid of honor's enthusiasm.
I really wanted to tell her a lot of cautions, since the treatment had an experimental element to it, but she was unlikely to listen.
However, I know exactly how that feels to me.
Or rather, on the first day of the other world, I should have had the same swordplay towards Sis-san. As I was reflecting on whether I'm always like this ...... in the eyes of other people, Yotaki comes out of the room.
'...... haha. If you take your eyes off of it for a moment, here it is.
A dumbfounded Yotaki appears in the example costume.
First and foremost, I stare into his eyes and check the change in Youtaki's symptoms. As usual, a thick 'demonic poison' is stagnating around Yotaki. However, the speed at which it enters the body is much slower. Of course, the same is true when it leaves.
''Amazing ....... This is the clothing that plays the 'Demonic Poison' made by Mr. Di Prakra ......!
Even though it's impossible to completely block the movement of the world's 'source', the 'Demon Poison', it's a costume with a similar efficacy.
Unlike my forceful spellcraft, it makes good use of the properties of the fibers unique to this other world. It would be an item worthy of the Apostle's name.
While I'm speechless with admiration, Yotaki's dumbfounded face deepens.
''No, brother. Do you have anything else to say?''
''Hi, Mr. Yotaki: ......! They look great together!
Before I could answer, the maidservant next to me raised her hands in the air and praised Yotaki.
Hearing that, Yotaki's face changed from a dumbfounded face to a smile.
''Yes, thank you. ...... Here it is. Brother, here's the first one.''
He smiles, but he's still bitter in his response to me.
I know what that means and speak my mind inside for now.
'What? Oh, yeah. It's Yangtaki, so of course it looks good on you. I like the color and the design, too.
It is white based clothing, with a strong color of purity rather than gaudiness. The design is peculiar to the other world, a shape rarely seen in the original world. From the movement of the limbs peeking out from the hem of the clothing, it can be seen that it is fully functional. In general, I have to say that Di Prakula-san's work is brilliant.
'...... haha. Thanks.
However, Yotaki didn't like it and sighed loudly in front of me.
It's a bit unreasonable for her to look so dissatisfied despite the fact that I repeated the words of the maidservant properly. As I thought that, the maidservant bowed her head deeply and said goodbye.
............. I'll leave you with that. I'll be doing my usual business at my usual place, so if you need anything else, please feel free to let me know.
Yes, good luck with your work. We'll be at the example location, as usual.
Unlike my time, Yotaki made a big smile at the maidservant and sent her off. I say ”good luck” to the handmaiden as she leaves, and I see her off too.
Then we walk slowly down the corridor.
Youtaki leads the way while the floor clicks and clicks, and I follow behind him. On the way, Yotaki absentmindedly lets out another sigh.
''Huh.''
...... What, are you mad at me?
In more ways than one.
Yotaki replied shortly, as I began to regret that I should have complimented him more on his new clothes.
”-Why did you treat your maid's sister without telling me?
They asked me something I wasn't expecting.
Apparently, they were asking me about my conversation with the maid of honor through the door.
'It's ....... Now that I'd heard it, I couldn't leave it alone. Even if I didn't know if my spellcasting was safe or not, I figured it was better to do it and regret it than not. ......
'Yes, there's also the issue of safety checks. But the biggest problem this time is that if you save one person, there is no end to it. I'm sure the maid of honor will tell everyone around her that the 'gentile' brought her sister a miracle. I'm sure that many patients will come to your brother when they find out. Can you handle it all?
I don't think we can fix everyone ....... But I also want to help those within my reach.
I'm insecure because they don't say ”I'm selective about who I help” there. Huh, if it was just a tiara, I could have used the excuse that it's royalty ....... I didn't think I'd be able to fix a maid girl when I took my eyes off her for a second: ......
The fact that Yotaki is repeating himself so far means that what I did was not as good as I imagined it would be.
However, I don't think there's anything I can do about it.
A few days ago, when I heard the story of those samurai sisters and the girl in front of me, my mind was blank. I don't know why, but I knew that I should definitely help her. Yes, I don't know why, but I--.
'--but that's the nice thing about my brother, though. The fact that you can't see around you when someone is in need, and the fact that you are usually out of it ....... It's very much like my brother (・・・・・・).
It's just like me (・・・・) ......?
For my own impulse, which I couldn't give a reason for, Yotaki said it couldn't be helped because it was like me.
''Yes, it's typical of my brother. So, I'll give up now ....... ''Hmph.''
Yangtaki smiles and stops pursuing it any further.
I, too, at the same time, stop reflecting on it any further and give my answer.
Apparently, it was my typical behavior that cured the maidservant's sister.
Then from now on, when I encounter the same situation in the future, I will act the same way.
Because that's Yotaki's older brother, 'Aikawa Uzumi' --
With that reaffirmed, we walk down the hallway and out of the building.
Then we walk into the tower right next to Hoosier's Castle.
It's the tallest and widest tower on the grounds. It's a fine looking castle, a smaller castle, if you will.
However, the interior is not complex and there are very few objects inside. There is only a high ceiling on the stone floor and walls. It is obvious that it was built for a purpose but abandoned during the construction of the tower.
We are now using that empty tower for spell development.
Immediately, I move to the center of the room and begin to experiment.
It's a new spell to solve the problem of the Demon Poison. The apostles have instructed me to broaden the scope of the ”Level Up” - but secretly I'm prioritizing the spell to improve Yotaki's constitution.
However, not much has changed in the past few days.
Although I developed a remarkable spellcasting technique on the first day, I haven't been able to do a single thing beyond that ”Level Up” yet.
In the midst of a bit of a slump, when I tried to remember the games and comics in my original world to see what approach I should take to spellcasting today--
Good morning! Here I am again, Master!
A third tower user walks in.
