While thinking that it will be good for an afternoon nap, Iâm calling the red hair spirit girl.
âIgu Jisuta. Is it really okay?â (Arge)
âOf course it is!â (Igu)
Igu Jisuta proudly raises her chest as she says that. Behind her is a large amount of food.
There are no meat, mainly vegetables and cereals, I am glad that there is also bread.
The day after we solved the misunderstandings and knew more about each other. I decided to start travel again.
Igu Jisuta told me that we can take our time even so I have to escort Richelle-san. I canât afford to relax here forever.
I stored her prepared food in my blood bag and I bowed to her.
âThank you very much, Igu Jisutaâ (Arge)
âE he he, my lovely Imouto will be on a journey, so of course I will prepare at least this muchâ (Igu)
Igu Jisuta caresses my head as she says that.
My soul from previous life is a man but my body right now is a girl. Even if she treat me like a little sister, it isnât wrong.
â⌠Argentoâ (Igu)
âOh, yes, what is it?â (Arge)
âAntares city was already destroyed, It canât be called as a home, so you can think this place as your homeâ (Igu)
ââŚUhmâ (Arge)
âIf you need anything you can come back anytime, thatâs it.â (Igu)
Place that Argento Vampear can come back, not Kuonâs house. Itâs not where I born, but I donât mind returning here.
ââŚThank youâ (Arge)
I understand the meaning her words, it makes me quite ticklish.
Still, I know that it isnât a bad feeling. So I accepted that feeling.
âThatâs why, everyone, please take care of my cute Imouto properlyâ (Igu)
â⌠I will protect her even if you donât ask. But suddenly behave like Argeâs ane-san with that smug face make me quite angry.â (Felnote)
âMu, whatâs this Felnote-kun. If you donât like it, how about I left this Cyril Big Safe alone and follow you guys?â (Igu)
âWhatâs about your official business âŚ!â (Felnote)
She is probably serious but this place supporting the entire world economy. It will be a lot of trouble for the whole world.
Zeno-kun face has become blue so we better stop it before he faints.
âIgu Jisuta, please donât say something so unreasonable. Everyone will help me and I can protect myself tooâ (Arge)
âMuu, but ⌠but. Only if I donât have this role I will follow.
Then how about bring 30 large golems as your body guards?â (Igu)
âStop itâ (Arge)
I can store them in my Blood Bag, but their excessive strength is too overpower.
What does she think we fight against that need thirty of such massive weapons to protect.
âGu~nu~nuâŚ, but looks ⌠Kuzuha-kun said it herself! I donât want to regret later!â (Igu)
âItâs okay, our most serious problem about food is already solvedâ (Arge)
Richelle-sanâs meal is the biggest problem in this trip, so Iâm thankful that she solve it for us.
However, it seems that Igu Jisuta is not convinced. But after a while she gives up.
âMu~mu~mu ⌠Everyone, I will say it again, please protect my precious Imouto neatly!â (Igu)
âArge-sama, what does the Spirit get angry for?â (Richelle)
âShe told us be careful not eating too muchâ (Arge)
As it became a little troublesome, I change the translation.
Igu Jistusa had behave strange or she seemd to be overprotective since yesterday. Even I got used to it but I was a bit tired.
I think she is very gentle, but she is excessive in many ways.
I wonder why she was like this though, didnât she get tired?
In any case, I canât stay here forever.
She told me that it is okay to return and I am going to do it, but now I have something to do.
Because I promised to escort Richelle-san to her hometown in the Demon Continent.
âWell then, Igu Jisuta ⌠uhm âŚâ (Arge)
âWell, ăItte kimasuăcould you say that?â (Igu)
âUhm ⌠Itte kimasuâ (Arge) (We are leaving)
âUm. Itte rasshaiâ (Igu) (Have a good trip)
I am not going to say ăSayonaraă
I also said that to Satsuki-san, but this time is definitely a different word from that time.
I got a home to return someday, I mean words like that.
Iâm still puzzled to be treated like that, she called me her Imouto.
Still, I didnât want to deny it.
âWell, I pray for the safety of your journey.
And I will be happy if you send me letter sometimes. So I can know about your safety every now and thenâ (Igu)
ââŚI understandâ (Arge)
I never used a mail-order shop in this world.
In the first place, I do not know what kind of letter is being conveyed.
Well, I can ask Felnote-san later.
I think itâs troublesome, but I also like to know, so I think that I can do it occasionally.
For this lonely girl.
I respond to her by waving my hands, and I get on the carriage.
Felnote-san and Richelle-san also get in the carriage.
Only Zeno-kun is sitting outside to move the carriage.
âIs it alright â desu ~no?â (Kuzuha)
âYes, I have finished my greeting properly, It will be nice if you greet her, too, Kuzuha-chanâ (Arge)
Kuzuha-chan who always properly goodbye in such case, didnât come out this time. She smiles and ask a question with a strange feeling.
âIâm not good with something like parting with a family memberâ (Kuzuha) (厜ćă¨ăŽĺĽăă§ăăăŽăć°´ă塎ăăŽăŻéćŽăă¨ăăăăŽă§ăă: Kazoku to no wakaredesu mono. Mizu o sasu no wa yabo, to iu monodesu wa)
â⌠Was that something like that?â (Arge)
âNow Arge-san is her Imouto, so Iâm her imoutoâs friend. I already promise and talk with her yesterday, so I am fine.â (Kuzuha) (Kondo wa Aruje-san wa imĹto to shite, soshite watashi wa imĹto-san no o tomodachi to shite. Kangei shite kureru to, kinĹ yakusoku shite kudasaimashita. Dakara, watashi wa ÄŤ ndesu no yo)
I sit down next to Kuzuha-chan who is happy to talk.
There is no point. Because the carriage is wide, there is no need to do so.
I just wanted to do that. No meaning behind it.
â⌠Arge-sanâ (Kuzuha)
âYes, Kuzuha-chan?â (Arge)
âThank you very muchâ (Kuzuha) (ArigatĹgozaimasu)
âFu~e?â (Arge)
I was puzzled for a while. I did not know what she thanks me for.
Perhaps I make quite a stupid face. Kuzuha laughed and her fox ears were trembling.
âFor staying by my side when I lost my hahaueâ (Kuzuha)
â⌠But I just stay there?â (Arge)
I didnât call out to Kuzuha-chan, who was mourning her motherâs death at that time.
I didnât  know what to do, I couldnât even call out and touch her to comfort her.
I was just stay there by her side till she stopped crying.
âBut Iâm really glad with thatâ (Kuzuha) (Sorede yokatta ndesu no yo)
âReally?â (Arge)
âBecause you are there, my loneliness has been filled in.
If Arge-san isnât there at that time, I wonât be easy to get over my sadness âŚ
And yesterday, I would not be able to reach Igu Jisuta-sanâ (Kuzuha) (Datte, sorede watashi no sabishisa wa umatta ndesu no. Ano Toki Aruje-san ga inakereba, kittoâŚâŚ kinĹ, igujisuta-san ni o sekkyĹ nante, dekimasendeshita wa)
Kuzuha-chan somewhat shyly smiles.
Certainly, If we didnât meet that day, perhaps Kuzaha-chan may become like Igu Jisuta.
If you say thanks in that sense, I can be satisfied. What I did is not a big deal, but if that helping her.
â⌠then, you are welcome.â (Arge)
I thought that I could obediently say so.
â⌠So when Arge-san face any hardship, Iâll be with you by all meansâ (Kuzuha) (Dakara Aruje-san ga tsurai toki wa, kitto watashi ga soba ni imasu wa)
âIs that so?â (Arge)
âYes, because for me ⌠Arge-san has become an irreplaceable person âŚâ (Kuzuha) (Ä. Datte, watashi ni totte waâŚâŚ Aruje-san wa mĹ, kakegae no nai hitona ndesu mono)
My heart feels wonderful and warm with Kuzuha-chanâs words.
I donât know well what this feeling that springs up in my heart is.
Still this feeling makes me realize that I can feel the warmth of my heart.
So for now, letâs follow the feelings I have.
ââŚThank youâ (Arge) (T.N: I canât find any good picture for this so I choose a picture from same artist)\nââŚâŚâŚâŚâ (Kuzuha)
âWhatâs wrong, Kuzuha-chan?â
âAh, no, about how you laugh just now, can you do it again!?â (Kuzuha) (A, ie, sono, i, ima no warai-kata, mĹikkai yatte itadakemasu no!?)
â⌠I was laughing? I didnât plan to do that âŚâ (Arge)
âThat was really pretty! So please once more! Smile again!â (Kuzuha)
Although Kuzuha-chan asks me to do it, Iâm in trouble even if she suddenly asks.
Originally, I was not even conscious of being laughing.
âEr ⌠like this?â
âUhm, this is cute, too but itâs a bit different âŚ!â (Kuzuha)
And, I was practising smile for a while with Kuzuha-chan, I donât know why she had such high tension for this.
The goal of our journey is still far away, I donât really know what my friends are but Iâm very confused. I even suddenly have a big sister.
