v5c136 - Alex, who seems to be ...... using Sorcery
“By the way, Tsubaki, right? Why is Sakura’s sister here?”
“Yes, I am. As I told you before, I was serving Lady Meilin ……”
After everyone is dressed and settled in–Fiine is still sitting on my legs, sulking and saying that she hasn’t done enough–while listening to Sakura’s story.
Apparently, she had sent a letter when she came through the transporter, stating that if she didn’t receive another letter within two weeks, she’s leaving Meilin to her instead.
“Uh, because you can’t send letters from here.”
“That’s right. So I think the promised deadline had passed and she came to Lady Meilin by way of the transporter.”
Well, I guess it’s like a sad accident …… where nobody is to blame.
“Mio. I’d like to talk to Tsubaki first.”
“I understand. We can’t hear her voice, but she can hear ours. So, for now, we need to be able to talk to each other, right?”
“No, I want you to unbind all the wards. I don’t think she’ll believe me if I try to talk to her while she’s trapped in there.”
“Well …… all right …… It’s unlocked.”
As Mio says this, Tsubaki, holding a mysterious chain, comes straight to me.
“You rotten bastard! How dare you do this to Lady Meilin!”
“Tsubaki. You heard what we said, didn’t you?”
“Yes. I understand that Sister Sakura and Lady Meilin are being controlled or brainwashed by that man through …… sorcery!”
Sakura and Tsubaki started to fight, but …… yeah. Sakura is much better than her.
Just in case, I used my paladin’s defense skills to protect everyone…
“By the way, didn’t we come here to learn about Fiine’s skills?”
“Yes! That’s right! Miss Shelly. Now, give Miss Fiine that skill!”
“Well, that’s fine, but I can only teach you how to make it. You should be able to use it only after you have gathered the necessary materials. Do not mistake that part.”
Fiine and, for some reason, Monica are asking Shelly what materials they need.
Now, what happened to Sakura’s situation.
“Kuh …… I still can’t reach Sister Sakura with my ability! I can’t free her from his sorcery!”
“…… No, I wasn’t bewitched or anything in the first place, you know?”
“The fact that she does not realize that she is being bewitched is troubling. The only thing I can do for now is to take Lady Meilin and escape. ……”
Tsubaki completely misunderstood everything, and I don’t know what she will do at this point.
I’ll talk to her first.
“Tsubaki …… right? I’m Alex. I’m a paladin and …….”
“Stop lying! There’s no paladin that would use a clone technique skill to attack a little girl!”
“No, the clone technique skill is a skill I got from Sakura, and Shelly and Mio are ……”
“A skill you got!? A normal human being can’t do such a thing, so you must be a sorcerer, after all! I’m not like Sister Sakura, I’m not going to let that kind of sorcery defeat me!”
Sorcerer, she says.
I mean, I don’t think she’s going to listen to me at all.
Tsubaki moves away from me and goes to Meilin.
“Come on, Lady Meilin! Let’s run away.”
“Sakura’s sister …… Tsubaki. I’ll let you off the hook this time, but Lord Alex is my husband.”
“As I thought, Lady Meilin is being controlled by sorcery too. The fact that you can do this to so many people is quite a feat …… you! Reveal yourself!”
…… Oh, you mean me?
I just called myself a paladin …… This is getting a little bothersome.
“Master Alex. I apologize for my sister. For now, do you want to use your charge skill to get her to understand?”
“I’m sorry. What do you mean?”
“Of course, it’s a continuation from before. I want Tsubaki’s body to remember Master Alex’s thing so that she can’t live without it as we do ……”
“No, what are you trying to do to your own sister! I mean, you can live without it!”
“No, no, once your body remembers Master Alex’s thing …… you won’t be able to anymore.”
Sakura says something that doesn’t make sense, so I turn to Ellie and Lydia for help and they nod repeatedly that she’s right.
No, I can understand why Fiine would nod.
“Kuh …… you! Answer me! How do I break this spell!”
……Yes. After all, this getting bothersome, so…
“Rei. Is there any medicine that can make her quiet?”
“Yes, there is. Just give her some of this …… wait, that’s fast!”
I asked Rei if she had anything, and in no time at all, Sakura had given Tsubaki a drink and …… she collapsed!
“Rei. What was the effect of that drug she just took?”
“Sleeping Medicine. With this, that little sister won’t wake up easily, so you can make her understand however you want, Alex-han.”
“Master Alex. If that’s the case, please do it to me too ……”
No, I won’t do it.
Sakura too …… I mean, Fiine and Monica, don’t expect anything!
First of all, Shelly, who had taught Fiine her skills, offered to take us above, so I carried Tsubaki on my back.
“I never thought that Master Alex would hold her while she was sleeping …… I’m so envious. Later, Tsubaki will get a spanking.”
She’s your sister, so you should get along, Sakura.
