18 Episode 18 "Meet Your Sister in the Ruined Guild".txt (2/2)

Her eyes widen as if she is seeing something unbelievable. And then she slowly reaches out her hand towards me...

...... nah-kun?

What?

”Nah-kun... ...... Nah-kun!

unrealistic

Huh?　Huh?　What is this?

Nay-kun!　Where have you been?　I was worried about you, sis!

Mr. Aine?　What?

What are you talking about? You're Nei-kun's big sister, right?

Squeezing, squeezing, squeezing.

What the hell. What's going on?

Why are you in a hug?　Why do you have your face in Aine's chest?

Warm. Soft. It smells good - I'm not talking about that.

Are you talking about me, Naya?

Is that what you call her?

Aine... 'Nai-kun' is in trouble.

'What?　But but we haven't seen each other in ages?

You don't want to embarrass your brother, do you?

...... Yes?

Aine puffed out her cheeks, reluctantly, and let me go.

It's not like the day before yesterday.

Her hair is untied and fluffy and swaying. Her eyes are dazed, like she's half asleep. When we were talking about the quest, she seemed like a solid older sister.

Could it be that the shock of having your guild taken away from you has made you crazy ......?

...... Aine has been deprived of her memories for the last few years.

Letitia said in my ear.

”Memories?

''An example, sir. To show that Aine's 'Commoner's Guild' is completely gone.

You don't mean 'lock skills'?

No, sir. It was caused by an item that harnessed divine power.

The sacred power is, I believe, a power used for recovery and supplementary magic.

If it's a game, it's the monk type.

In other words, the power that is used for lethal magic and mental magic - that's what it means.

''Iturna Order, it's the work of Vice Bishop Argis.

That's him!

...... I should have destroyed it then, after all.

It's a good thing that you're able to get your hands on some of these things. It's not just a matter of time before you're able to get your hands on a new one. His name is 'Naias', but he has a similar vibe to you.

I guess that's why Aine was acting like a big sister in a strange way.

The first time we talked, she said she had someone who looked like me, which is probably because of .......

Oh .................. I heard that. Circumstances.

I wanted to keep things strictly business-related with the guild.

”Nah-kun?　What's the matter with you?

The next thing I knew, Aine was looking into my face with concern.

It's close, close.

...... Um, I'm 'Nah-kun' and I'm ......

Talk to your sister about your problems. You are there for your sister, right?

So I'm going to ......

Nayi, you're not going anywhere, are you?　You promised me that we would run the guild together, right?　I'll do my best, big sister. I'll protect the guild for you, Nah-kun. ......

Gulp, Aine is in tears.

Do you have any memories of your brother's death or do you still have ......?

Nai-kun, I'll do anything if you're by your sister's side, okay?　Yeah, let's 'contract'?

'Contract'?

Big sister, I'm going to be your slave!　Nah, you said you wanted a slave who would listen to you, right?　I wish you could be with me forever...

'Don't be confused, Mr. Aine!

I mean, really, don't release ”Medallion”.

I won't. I won't make a ”contract” like that!

Mr. Aine: ...... Um, how old is Nah-kun now?

You're six, right?

How sleazy can you be as a kid, eh?

That's right. Do you want to take a bath with me?　I'm going to wash you, big sister. You like that, don't you, Nah-kun?

I've never experienced anything like that in my life!

You don't like to take a bath, do you, Nee?

I don't hate you, but I'm not into girls.

'I see. That's why you always have to go in with me unless you're blindfolded and your hands are tied up, right?　Nah, you're just so shy.

Isn't that embarrassing, and you really didn't like it!

But, Aine, why are you in Grandpa's guild?

Aine looked around as if realizing her place for the first time.

'Grandpa... Huh?　Is your grandpa there?　Your father and mother died a long time ago and Natsu and Aine became grandpas...

Aine holds her head and winces.

”When Nah-kun is gone──the guild is the only place with memories──I will definitely protect it. Work hard and do your best for that ...... that?　What are we talking about? ...... Yes, I'm going to make a cup of tea and calm down. ...... Wait for me, Nay-kun.

Aine's smile was very, very painful.

'...... Letitia. Is there any way to bring back Aine's memories?

'Vice Bishop Argis crystallized Aili's memories and hid them in a place. Once we get it back, it should be back to normal.

The guy really doesn't do shit.

Working for free is not a hobby.

But Aine is dancing around with her tea set in her hand, and she's gone into the other room.

He's probably boiling water and is about to start a tea time with Nei-kun.

This will soon be in the hands of the Aristocrats' Guild, but...

The Black Guild took it all away from me and I can't even remember what they took from me.

I can't watch. I can't see it, really.

”All right, all right. We'll go get it back now.

It's not a problem for a newbie to get into.

Leticia said as she scratched her blue hair.

''How can a level 1 or 2 adventurer beat a 'steel gargoyle'?''

'The Steel Gargoyle'?

It's a statue made of steel and powered by magic. The Count and Deputy Archbishop Argis unleashed the Steel Gargoyle on the tower that hid Aine's memories. As punishment for the one who caused the town to be in turmoil.

”On the honor of a nobleman, I'll forgive you your sins if you get it back, right?

No, on the honor of being a nobleman, try to get it back, if you can.

That sucks.

So that's what you say after pushing people to this point.

Moreover, Aine-san's memories are protected by the gargoyle. He doesn't even try to get his own hands dirty.

How much bad taste do you have?

'Come to think of it, are 'steel gargoyles' a kind of 'guardian'?

You're well informed.

Does it have wings on its back and a sword and shield?

''That's really a high-level 'Angel Guardian'. The steel gargoyle takes the form of a winged beast. Although it's much lower than the higher-ranked species, I'd still like to see a level 10.

That means that if you can defeat the Angel Guardian in the basement of the Wizard's Mansion, then the Steel Gargoyle is not too far behind.

I see.

In that case, we'll be able to handle it.

It's not a good idea for me to take on a steel gargoyle and a mad dog.

”Mad dog?

''It's the helper of the 'Noblemen's Guild'. If it were true, the 'Commoner's Guild' is stronger, but ...... he's not strong, or rather, he doesn't know how much to take.

Leticia held her head and sighed.

''I heard that guy was hired by the person in charge of the 'Noble Guild'. I heard that he was originally with His Majesty the King, but he was dispensed with because he's a violent person who doesn't listen to others.''

...... by His Majesty the King.

He thinks he's a legendary hero. Well, he certainly has some powerful skills that I don't know about.

...... people don't know who has the skills.

His name is ”Tanaka Koga,” I think. I don't remember my last name being ”Tanaka-Coga.

...... last name is in front of it, Tanaka.

I don't know why.

I have a very bad feeling.

''What, you're still here, those guys from the 'Commoner's Guild'!

I heard a door being kicked open on the first floor.

A figure, coming up the stairs.

'You're in my way!　Brave man coming through!　Come on out and meet me, you scum!

A boy in armor came up to the upstairs office.

With black hair.

Dark hair. Dark eyes.

He was about my age.

In my world, he looked like he would have gone to high school or something.

”I command you, in the name of Tanaka-Koga, the man recognized by the king as a hero!　The rest of the 'Common People's Guild' scum can either surrender unconditionally right now and join me or be crushed with no questions asked!

The boy in armor - Tanaka-Coga flipped his cape and declared.

To me, he looked like a middle-aged cosplayer.
