When I met Cento-san earlier, she requested something from us before we parted waysā¦ā¦ but the idea was that if we were ever to encounter Tre-san again, sheās asking us to keep her around and contact her if possible.
So, after we met Tre-san again, Sieg-san contacted Cento-san via hummingbird while I was talking to her.
And just as Tre-san finished her second challengeā¦ā¦ having a total score of 2, walking back towards us with a somewhat satisfied look on her face, I heard voices.
[ [ Esteemed Sister Tre! ] ]
Receiving the call, Cento-san and Cien-san rushed over to us, and we moved our gaze in their direction. Iām glad that Sieg-san managed to contact themā¦ā¦ but to be honest, I still donāt understand their situation very well.
If you only look at the situation, youād get the impression that Tre-san slipped away from themā¦ā¦ but despite this, Tre-san didnāt seem to be troubled after being found by the two of them.
Thus, I was wondering what Tre-sanās reaction would be after the two girls found herā¦ā¦
[Ahh, Cento and Cien. Would you two like to try it too? This is pretty hard.]
Without looking flustered at all, she smiled at them in a very light-hearted way.
[Esteemed Sister Tre! You disappeared again without a word! Do you have no idea how worried we were!!!?]
[ā¦ā¦Arehh? I left a note for you two though.]
[Itās not about leaving a note! Does Esteemed Sister Tre even realize that me and Cento are your guards!?]
[Of course, I do. Iām always counting on the two of you.]
Cento-san and Cien-san continued to close in on her, but as relaxed as ever, it seems like Tre-sanās mind was very much at her own pace. Somehow, I could sense that Cento-san and Cien-san were having a hard time.
[Then, why are you going out without us?]
[Iām just having fun in the neighborhood.]
[You really donāt understand at all, do you!? Even though we told you to bring us with you beforeā¦ā¦]
As Cien-san scolded Tre-san, Cento-san turned toward us, and after approaching us, she bowed deeply.
[ā¦ā¦Thank you very much for contacting us.]
[No, Iām glad you were able to meet up safely.]
When Cento-san told us this, she pulled out what seemed to be her wallet and took out a few gold coins.
[Itās not much, but as remunerationsā¦ā¦]
[No, you donāt have to give us remunerations. Itās really just a coincidence that we met again, so just your thanks are already enough.]
[Thatās very kind of you. Once again, thank youā¦ā¦]
After hearing my words, Cento-san bowed her head once more and took out a slip of paperā¦ā¦ a business card-like thing from her pocket and handed it to me and Sieg-san.
Written on it was an address, I suppose? The name of the city was written on it, as well as the Seditch Magic Tools Trading Company Subdivision and Cento-sanās name.
[If you ever need a magic crystal, please let me know. Weāre influential in the Magic Crystal Division, and we can provide you with some good ones.]
[If another opportunity comes, I will be in your care.]
After we received her business card and responded to her words, Cento-san bowed for the third time before going to Tre-san, who was still being scolded by Cien-san.
[Come on, Esteemed Sister. Letās go back already.]
[Eh? Itās that time already?]
[ā¦ā¦No, but I just donāt want to be a nuisance by scolding you here.]
[Eeeeehhhhā¦ā¦ Thereās a scolding?]
[Of course. Cien and I still have lots of things to tell you.]
Thereupon, grabbing Tre-san by the scruff of her neck, the twins dragged her away. As they were departing, Cento-san and Cien-san gave us one final bow, while Tre-san waved to us somewhat happily as she was dragged away.
As they dragged Tre to Kuromueinaās castle, where they had originally planned to visit, Cento and Cien continued to scold Tre.
[ā¦ā¦Like we said, no matter where you go, be sure to tell us when you go out.]
[ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦]
Tre nodded firmly at Centoās wordsā¦ā¦ but this kind of exchange had taken place many times in the past, so as far as the current situation was concerned, any improvement was hopeless.
Tre is basically an optimistic person, and she is the type of person who forgets things after putting them off, so it wasnāt hard to imagine her saying āIāll just call them laterā.
[ā¦ā¦Well, even if we say all these things, Cien and I both know that Esteemed Sister Tre wouldnāt really listen to us.]
[Yes. So, this time, we called in āhelpersā.]
Tre tilted her head at their words, but as they approached the entrance of the castle, her expression turned pale when she saw the person awaiting them.
[ā¦ā¦S- Sis Ai and Sis Zweiā¦ā¦ Isnāt calling them cheating? You canāt do that, youāre cheating hereā¦ā¦]
Waiting for them at the gate were Ein and Zwei. Sweating like a waterfall, clearly looking flustered, making one wonder where the composure she had earlier had gone, Tre spoke.
[S- Sis Aiā¦ā¦ S- Sis Zweiā¦ā¦ W- Well~~ Itās been a while~~ I see Sis Zwei has come homeā¦ā¦ Good timing~~ Iām glad to see you both here~~]
[ [ ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ ] ]
[C- Could you not look at me with those scary facesā¦ā¦ Youāre crumpling your beautiful faces, you know? I really love the kind youā¦ā¦ D- Does that work?]
[ [ ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ ] ]
[ā¦ā¦It didnāt huh. Itās overā¦ā¦ Itās totally over for me.]
Seeing the two of them look at her with quiet, but clear anger in their eyes, Tre looked up at the sky with a look of resignation on her face. A few moments later, Treās scream echoed in the crystal clear blue sky.
