I arrived at Isis-san’s castle to hang out with her, and after enjoying tea, I played with Eul for a while. After a while, Eul looked tired and started to doze off, so I put her down on her special bed and went outside with Isis-san.
Our purpose was to see the Blue Crystal Flower garden that Spica-san had created. Blue Crystal Flowers are said to be originally difficult to find in clusters. In the first place, the rules as to how they bloom were unknown, so it wasn’t possible to predict where they would grow in clusters.
Well, it turns out that it all depends on Spica-san’s mood……
[……Arehh, when did they build these paths?]
[……Unnn…… The road from the castle to the flower garden…… Rasal and Sirius…… worked hard together.][Heehhh, Rasal-san and Sirius-san huh…… I might just be projecting my thoughts on them, but Rasal-san feels like she was in charge of the brains while Sirius-san was in charge of the physical labor.]
[……Correct…… Rasal designed it…… Sirius built it…… and finally, Polaris…… she put up a barrier to keep snow from piling up…… bringing this place to a completion.]
In fact, based on her appearance, Rasal-san appears to be a Mage. No, she’s actually a Necromancer, but she has this atmosphere of a long-ranged combatant. On the other hand, Sirius-san feels like she specializes in close combat. She’s tall, muscular and uses swords……
Well, both of them are powerful Peak Count-ranks, so they can actually handle both close and ranged combat, but that’s the impression I got from the way they look.
[……Rasal is very smart…… and Sirius is very strong…… Together, they can do a lot of things.]
[Heehhh…… Seems like they have good affinity with each other.]
[……Unnn…… They’re close with each other…… They do fight a lot though…… just like Ein and Chronois.][……A- Ahh, I see…… The more they fight, the better they get along.]
From what Iris-san told me, I had the impression that they didn’t get along well, but when you liken them to Ein-san and Chronois-san, I can understand and agree with certain aspects.
While having such a conversation, walking hand in hand with Isis-san along the beautiful path, today’s weather is clear, and the snowy field looks quite beautiful. Looking at it this way, it’s strange how even the Land of Death can feel like a normal, beautiful place.
As I was thinking about this, we saw Sirius-san and Rasal-san beyond the path.
[Arehh, just when we were talking about them, it’s Sirius-san and Rasal-san.]
[……You’re right…… What are they doing there?]
From what I see from Sirius-san and Rasal-san, they seemed to be glaring at each other and holding each other’s collars, and the atmosphere around them doesn’t feel very peaceful.
[……You ready or what, corpse b*tch? I’m sure your deathly stench will be a little better if you die here in the Land of Death.]
[Kukaka, prattling about things you can’t do, you’re as brainless as always, musclehead.]
[……You two…… What are you doing?]
[ [ ! ? ] ]
Though they had an atmosphere that could be described as being on the verge of a conflict, the moment Isis-san called out, they looked surprised and immediately let go of each other’s collars. They then put their arms around each other’s shoulders.
[Oya? Isis-sama and Kaito-sama, what a coincidence! If you are taking this path, are you heading to Spica’s flower garden?]
[That’s great, the weather is so nice today, so it is a good day for a date. Ahh, we were just thinking of doing some training.]
[……Training?]
[Yes, Rasal’s various fights are very helpful, so I often ask her to be my training partner.]
Wearing smiles that seemed to be plastered on her face, the two of them answered Isis-san’s words with a gentle demeanor and began whispering to each other about something.
[……Sync our thoughts, now.]
[……Yeah, we can’t let the kind Isis-sama feel sad. Act friendly and get through this.]
I couldn’t hear what they were saying because of the distance, but it seemed that they had no intention to fight in front of Isis-san and were temporarily putting aside their differences.
Given Isis-san’s gentle personality, she would likely worry if the two of them were seriously arguing. Perhaps, Sirius-san and Rasal-san themselves were aware of it, and were behaving accordingly.
Well, if they can act like they are getting along so perfectly…… I guess it is already a fact that they are getting along well……
[……I see…… You two are good friends.]
[Hahaha, yes, we do. Even with this and that, Rasal and I get along well together.]
[Kukaka, likewise, Sirius keeps me from getting bored.]
Although they had smiles on their faces, the emotions conveyed by my Sympathy Magic are filled with a fierce competitive spirit. Moreover, it seems like there’s considerable strength in the hands holding each other’s shoulders.
[……Ahh…… but if you’re going to train…… make sure to put up a barrier…… Both of you are strong…… so you might cause damage to those around you.]
[ [ Hah! ] ]
The two of them answered in perfect sync to Isis who warned them with a gentle smile…… I think they really are good friends. And despite everything, I could really sense their deep admiration of Isis-san, and it’s evident that she has built a good relationship with her subordinates, making me feel the happiness Isis-san was feeling being with them.
<Afterword>
Serious-senpai : [……Ahh, these two get along well when they’re in front of Isis huh……]
? ? ? : [The Death King’s subordinates are basically a group of people who love Isis-san, so they don’t want her to worry about them. Well, it probably is true that the two of them somehow really get along with each other.]
