Chapter 156.2

Chapter 156.2 \n<h1>Chapter 156 Witch </h1>\n\n“Aaaaah? What, did you just say? Leader. Not only was I already exhausted after returning from a Shrine, but when I returned to the Imperial Capital, I was told that you went to an Onsen? And when I finally think that I have arrived at the Onsen, I was forced to fight off some bandits? And to top it all off, what did you just say?  You better tell me that I heard you ―― Wrong.” (Lucia)

　Lucia’s eyelids twitched and looked up at me with a gaze so sharp that you wouldn’t believe that it was directed at her brother.　Probably because she had a good night’s sleep, she was finally feeling better, and her complexion was much better than yesterday. That’s all good.

　When Lucia approached me, I took a step back with a half-baked smile on my face. My back was damp with cold sweats.　I didn’t mean anything bad. It was just a little thought that came out of my mouth, but it seemed to have touched Lucia’s reverse scale1.

“U-Un. No… Welllll. I think you did a really good job, you know? Un, as expected of my “Sister (Imouto)”.” (Cry)

　I tried to praise her, but Lucia’s expression didn’t change. Lucia has known me for a long time, so she knows my personality.　Luke and Liz weren’t going to help me either. They were looking at us as if they were watching something very interesting.　Tino, too, was frightened and turned her gaze away from behind Liz. I didn’t have any allies.

　As she gracefully put her fingers together, she chuckled with a smile.

　“Please, say that again, Leader. As it is also possible that my ears are going crazy.” (Lucia)\n

“……” (Cry)

“………… Nii-san?” (Lucia)

　I took a deep breath, gathered my resolve, and said.

“…… Ch-Change the frog type…… You got the wrong one……” (Cry)

“…… Huh.” (Lucia)

“Lucia, what you changed them into was a tree frog. Originally, the type of frog they are transformed into are grass frogs, sooo……2” (Cry)

　How should I know about settings like that!! Look, look at this book! It is the book, Leader made, look! Look! Look!” (Lucia)

　Lucia raised a screaming voice and shoved me the handwritten magic book I made a long time ago.　On the page that had been read over and over again until it was crumpled, there was one line, 『Magic that turned you into a frog』, and all the area around that line was filled with Lucia’s notes.

“Where does it say grass frog, do tell me? I dare you to say there is! Where… Where… Where!” (Lucia)

“N-no, but… It is the Witch’s Arcanes, so of course it is a grass frog. Tree frogs aren’t witch-like at all.” (Cry)\n　The book of magic that I made only described the final results, it was only the fantasy of a child. I wrote it without even thinking about whether it would be useful or not, so everything written inside is the disillusion of the past me. 

　However, that was also exactly why I am so particular about the details.

 

“I-It’s okay, you succeeded in changing them into tree frogs, so of course, you can also change them into grass frogs.” (Cry)

“I can’t! This Magic isn’t as convenient as that! Tell it to me, before I create the spell! Do you know that it was really difficult to create the current design! Please be more impressed! Don’t tell me…… You are telling me to recreate it?” (Lucia)

　My “Sister (Imouto)” squeezed me vigorously and came at me with her mouth moving *pikupiku* relentlessly.　Apparently, even though from the point of view of an amateur it didn’t seem so hard, there was a huge difference between a tree frog and a grass frog. Of course, I don’t plan to tell you to recreate it.

　I turned both of my palms and said to Lucia in a reassuring manner.

“O-of course, I am not telling you that. Even if it is tree frogs, I think that it is amazing. I do think that it isn’t really witch-like, but I am not going to ask you to recreate it! By the way………… I want you to create an Onsen with your magic. You know, one that Anthem can get in.” (Cry)

\n　Her appearance had changed from her yukata to her usual robe, and she was holding a large mop with a handle about a meter and a half long in her hand.

　Sytry looked in wonder at Lucia punching a plushie, but quickly looked at me and said in her usual tone.

“Unfortunately, there was no Onsen big enough for Onii-chan to enter. I have gotten permission to dig one, but…… What do we do?” (Sytry)

　Of course, we are digging one.
