43 Ragna's Family

We reached the foot of the mountain in the afternoon,  but the problem started here.

We somehow managed to keep up with Ragna while coping with the temperature gradually dropping, the blowing wind, and thinning air .

However, maintaining the air pressure with wind magic while producing an air wall to retain the warmth, moreover I'm activating magic power transfer while flying, my skills weren't enough.

Although Ciel prevented the wind from passing through the air wall, even he can't use that much magic power.

Just when I was desperate enough to consider increasing the contact area by stripping down despite the cold, Dy appeared and took control of my magic.

Ciel was astonished at Dy who was using my magic power to control magic.

To capture another's magic power, the difficulty is apparently the same as catching a fluttering thread falling from the sky, and then directly inserting it into a needle hole.

And controlling it meant one had to quickly weave that flailing thread into the right place while offsetting its reactions, and if one applied even a bit too much power, apparently the magic could explode.

Dy who was able to pull off something I couldn't do even within my imagination, I understood that he was perversely skillful.

Not getting affected by the air pressure, wind, and temperature, Ragna's extraordinariness is also plenty amazing.

Because it seems like every Dragonian who travels to the outside world can do this, it means that all Dragonians are extraordinary huh.

Finally arriving at the village, Dy returned in satisfaction after incorporating the benefits and receiving a praise from me.

Looking around, there are lovely white flowers blooming on the plateau.

[We've arrived. Let me guide you to my house.]

As we were moving, I saw children as if they were being hidden by the white flowers, playing.

It's Ragna! When one of the children shouted and waved his* hands, the other kids also started waving their hands.

Ragna waved his hand in return.

[Those are the kids from the village. Since there are no foreign enemies here, there's no problem even if the children play by themselves. Can you see the holes hollowed on the slope? Each one of those is a house's entrance.]

As if mixed among the shorter plants, a lot of cave mouths were wide open on the mountain surface.  (TN: Still not sure. Will change accordingly.)

We were led towards one of those and Ragna unhesitantly went in,

The entrance was small but it was spacious inside, there was enough space so there was no need for the tall Ragna to duck his head.

Multicolored crystals were stuck on the surface of the rocks, they were so bright that there was no need for lighting.

[Woww, it's very beautiful.]

[Yeah, it's very mysterious.]

[Although I have read records about the visits to the Dragonian Village, it's a beauty that couldn't be expressed through sentences. I can also feel a bit of magic power coming from the crystals, I must look around a lot later.]

Ciel who was just in a frenzy spiritedly decided. His pupils sparkling with curiosity is charming, and I think he'll be able to look around as much as he wants as long as we get permission.

I sighted someone coming from the passage inside the cave. Ragna who recognized the figure raised his hand and conveyed his delight.

[Ooh, if it isn't Ani*! It's Ragna, I have returned.] (TN: Older Brother)

[Ragna? The meaning of your return, could it be that you brought your spouse with you?]

[Let me introduce to you my bride, Rei. The people behind him are his husbands.]

[Hello, I'm Rei. Are you Ragna's onii-san*?] (TN: Still means big brother.)

[I'm Mikhail, nice to meet you.]

Mikhail has the same red hair as Ragna. He has eyes the same as that of a gently grazing animal compared to Ragna, his voice is also calm. Although he's about the same height as Ragna, he has a lean appearance.

[How joyous, today will be a celebration.]

[Umu, please make the celebration grand. Where are with our parents?]

[They just went on a trip so they're not coming back.]

[Is that so, what is grandfather doing?]

[He seems to be in the village recently so you will meet him later.]

Attracted to the speaking voice, a different silhouette appeared. A youth a bit shorter than Ciel and a girl about the same height as me.

[Ragnniisama, welcome home.]

[Ragnaniii~! If you've came back then let's have a hunting competition!]

[Hey, Lloyd, it's rude to talk about a different topic without even greeting his wife, please do it properly.]

[What the heck, you're such a stiff person, Mikhail-ani. Can't I borrow Ragnani for just a moment!?]

I took a step back at the spiky red-haired young man's outspoken scrutiny. Ragna chides his little brother Lloyd.

[Well just wait, let's do it after the greeting to the family is over first. Jii-sama* still isn't home, what about Ane-sha**?] (TN: *Grandfather, **Elder/Big Sister. The -sha is like -san)

[If it's Sati-anesama then she's in the room. Haru* will bring your wife and introduce him to her. That's why Ragnniisama can go play with Lloyd.] (tn: She's using her name to refer to herself.)

The orange-tinged red-haired girl tilted her head and suggested. Ragna stroked her head.

[Haru Ahanna*, you've gotten bigger.]

[That's right, I'm not a child anymore, I'm already a splendid lady. I heard that a lady's duty is to be hospitable to guests and feed the men delicious foods, Sati-anesama taught me that.]

[Then can I leave Haru Ahanna to guide Rei?]

[Un, it's fine! Ragnniisama, Lloyd-niisama, take care~]

[Eh, what does it mean? Ragnani is going to compete with me?]

[Yeah, I don't mind. It's a match of who gets the bigger prey.

[Aaalright~~! I will definitely win this time!!]

Without any room to even insert a comment towards his younger siblings' skilled mouth, it seems it's already decided that I'm going to follow this girl.

Well, I don't really mind, it seems like the greeting is already a decided matter anyway, it doesn't change whether I do it now or later, does it.

[And that's how it is, Rei, I'm now going to hunt for this evening's meal, would you like to come along, too?]

[No, it's fine. You're not going to hunt nearby, are you, and I'd like to refrain descending the mountain. This, Haru-chan if I'm not wrong, I'll have your little sister show me around.]

[Leave it to me!]

The little sister, Haru Ahanna energetically accepted. After seeing to it that our opinions have united, the older brother Mikhail turned on his heels.

[Then I will prepare for the celebration.]

[Then, can I help?]

[Rei-kun's husband? You're welcome to do so.]

Aleph offered to help Mikhail while Ciel received the permission to observe the crystals and ores stuck in the corridor of the house.

Everyone left, only Halru Hanna and I are left. Being alone with a girl I just met sure makes me nervous.

[Uhm, Rei-anesama… doesn't seem to be it, can I call you Rei-niisama?]

Little sister-chan tilts her head and asks me. Did she say Ani-sama…!? With a well-featured face that resembles Ragna, for me to be called Ani-sama by a beautiful lady equipped with youth without the wildness….!?

I instantly forgave the fact that she seemed to have mistaken my gender and nodded my head without any hesitation..

[You can just call Haru* as Haru. Now, let us go, Sati-anesama's room is over here.] (TN: As I stated before, Haru calls herself by her name instead of pronoun.)

Following Haru's lead, I head towards the of the person called Sati-anesama.
