36. Rabies (1)

The third day dawned.

If it was usually hard to ride around the mountain wearing Shione.

Today, I suffered hardships from morning.

Doesn’t Siabelle keep an eye out for me from the morning because of yesterday’s incident?

If you chat with Bronte for a while, she will come over to talk to my servant and secretly talk to me too.

Seeing that, unlike before, with a wry smile, I shook my head.

Just openly come and talk.

Why are you working so hard?

That was not the only difficult task.

“Aren’t you too close?”

“It’s close, it’s not at all, so don’t mind it.”

“But if you’re this close, climbing the mountain…”

“Even if you don’t mind.”

It’s hard to get around because the mountain is already rugged.

Shione came close enough to be incomparable to the previous one and didn’t fall off.

If you stumble like this, it’s obvious that we’ll hug each other again and roll.

No matter how many times I warned her to stay away from me, Shione held on to the sleeve of my dress and cut my words.

The important thing is that this is not all.

Even while Shione and I were bickering over this issue.

The problem was that Sia Belle was particularly conscious of this side and turned her head to look at her.

No, why are these people so interested in me today?

“Today, Siabelle unnie checks this place often.”

Even Shione can say that Siabelle is watching her more than before.

Come to think of it, she has to tell Siabel that she’s been caught up on magic.

There are many ears around you right now, so I’ll tell you about this later.

I came up with an appropriate answer.

“Anyway, I remember what happened yesterday, and it seems that Sione-nim is checking in from time to time to see if she’s okay.”

“Hmm. Other than that, you seem to be as conscious of Ray as I am.”

“Didn’t I throw myself to save Shione-nim yesterday? Maybe that’s why he rolled over several times while holding Shione-nim.”

“Well…”

Shione narrowed her eyes and looked at Siabelle’s back.

While doing that, Siabelle and Sione met eyes as they tried to look at us again.

Sia Belle greeted her with a small smile and a wave of her hand.

Shione waved her hand at her in the same way as her awkward smile.

The corner of Siabelle’s mouth went up even more as she held Shione in her eyes.

Then her gaze followed me.

Why the hell are you so anxious to see me?

I said with a grin.

Please stop looking at this. Sione-nim feels burdened.

I meant to tell you to stop looking at this.

Sia Bell giggled and nodded her head at what was funny about that.

Now, one of the annoying eyes is gone.

Every time Siabelle turned around and looked at us, some soldiers also looked at us, which made me a little concerned.

Now I can go a little more comfortably than before.

While I was thinking that, I saw Sione with an awkward expression on her face even though Sia Bell took her eyes off her.

“Siabelle seems to care a lot about Sione.”

“Yeah, I guess so… It’s pretty awkward for an older sister who hasn’t spoken a word to me so far to be so kind to me.”

“Every time she ran into Siabel, didn’t she greet her not so awkwardly?”

“If it’s just a greeting, that’s it. But I’ve never received this kind of attention before, so I don’t know how to react. I don’t know if I’m alone, but I just-“

Shione calmly continued.

“I feel a sense of distance that is not easily narrowed.”

I nodded quietly.

As I was listening to Sione with a calm expression, she poked me in the cheek.

Suddenly, I looked at Sione, wondering what she was doing.

“What are you doing?”

“Pu-hu-hu.”

Seeing that he burst into laughter, it seems that he is insane no matter how much he says he is my master.

People poke their cheeks and laugh when they listen to the story rather seriously.

There was nothing particularly harmful, but it felt like steam was suddenly coming out, so it wasn’t very pleasant.

“There’s no such thing as a hard expression. Are you worried?”

“……?”

“You don’t have to worry. I’ll do my best.”

“Yes?”

“I’ll try to pay attention so that I can get to know Siabelle again from now on. I wonder what I was doing awkwardly by myself.”

“Ah.”

Shione’s expression brightened.

The corners of her mouth lifted slightly and her eyes widened.

A small but deep smile covered Shione’s stomach like the soft moonlight.

“Besides… that… don’t I have you besides Siabelle unnie…?”

“Yes, if you do, I will do my best to help Shione-nim get closer to Siabelle-nim quickly.”

At my words, I saw a slight crack in Shione’s smile.

Objectively, I thought the answer was close to 100 points.

Shione didn’t seem to like it very much.

I don’t know what kind of answer I was expecting.

“I wonder if I said something against Shione-sama’s heart—”

“Oh, no. It’s nothing, so don’t worry about it.”

Shione touched her with a slightly reddened face.

Well, he said he was nothing.

I don’t think I need to worry too much about hurting my head.

It was then.

“Oh!”

Shione, who couldn’t look under her because she waved her hand at me for no reason, stepped on the roots of her tree and stumbled.

She was walking exceptionally close today, so if she fell and grabbed my arm, I’d probably roll down her mountain with her.

I hurriedly held her with my right arm before she fell over.

“Be careful, the ground is rough.”

As expected, Shione bowed her head at my words.

It was a bonus that her face turned red as if she was about to explode.

“I’m sorry… I’m sorry…”

“Please be careful next time.”

As I said that, I felt someone’s gaze in front of me again.

“Whoa…”

As expected, there is someone else to look at me.

Siabelle looked at me again as the clumsy Shione held on to what was about to fall.

This time, without looking at my sister at all, just me.

Besides, this time, for some reason, she was wearing a crooked smile.

Why on earth are the sisters so impatient that they can’t bully me as a pair?

After seeing Sia Bell turn her head again, I let go of her arms holding her Sione.

“Thank you for catching me…”

How nice it would be if I didn’t have to say thank you in the first place.

Contrary to my inner thoughts, I spoke as politely as possible.

“I just did what I was supposed to do.”

Hearing those words, Shione is now trying to prevent tripping over tree roots.

I put my head on the ground and started walking.

Yes or no.

I walked all the way with my already tired body and mind.

How long had it been since she sometimes answered Sione’s words and passed Siabelle’s gaze carelessly?

“I saw a pack of gray wolves ahead.”

“How many objects?”

“There seemed to be a little over 10 of them. However, they all looked odd, unlike normal instances.”

“If the condition is strange.”

“I’d say it’s ominous and violent… You’ll have to see it for yourself.”

Finally, I was able to find the monster.

Siabel frowned at the fact that the object’s condition was abnormal.

But it didn’t take long to make the decision.

“Even if they are more violent, they are gray wolves in the end. If you catch the boss, they will be easily destroyed, so let’s subdue them and move on.”

The moment it was decided to wipe out this pack of gray wolves and set out to find another pack.

We started moving quickly.

Shione, who used to walk only by looking at the ground, took out one of her arrows and prepared for battle with a string attached to it.

With moderate tension, the soldier moved forward to the known position.

Then, how long did you walk?

Finally, I was able to see the gray wolf in a strange state.

“This is…”

There was no gray wolf known for its glossy gray fur and monster-like cold and intelligent eyes.

Red bloodshot eyes and drooling saliva.

And the hair that has turned black from the tips and splits loosely.

In addition to that, even the energy of those damn bastards that I felt tired of in the past.

My expression naturally rotted away.

It has to be.

What kind of aura are those gray wolves exuding right now?

‘Devil’s Magic.’

Because it was like the energy of demons that turned numerous worlds into dungeons on Earth.

Its nature is too violent to be called mana.

Something fundamentally different from divine power.

The moment I saw that disgusting Magi, the exclusive property of demons, I remembered an important fact again.

I forgot about it for a while because I worked so hard to take care of the fortress Sione.

This is a world that has already been destroyed in the dungeon.

That too was a world destroyed by demons.

I thought of Shione with a light heart.

I try hard, but I see a screw missing one by one somewhere.

When an orc came running, my master stiffened and couldn’t move.

I can’t figure out how to beat the devil with Shione.

I let out a deep sigh.

If you pray to God, will it come true?

Please remake the main quest with Siabelle, who is worth trying instead of Sione.
