After all, this is the only way you could have come up with: ......

　That night.

　Iris, Aine, and Raphilia had come to a short distance from the town.

　In this area, only weak demons would appear. It's a level that can be blown away by Aine's 'Demon Wipeout' or Rafilia's 'Dragon Seed Whirlwind'. It's not difficult to deal with.

　The mansion was easily escaped.

　Fake Iris, fake Rafilia, and fake Aine, created with Iris's "Illusionary Space," to create an alibi.

　Rafilia's instrumental degradation to unlock every lock.

　Aine's wiping out the guards' memories and removing their memories by wiping out their memories - although that wasn't necessary this time.

　Anyway, for the cheat girls, it's easy to escape from the lord's mansion.

　If they found out that Iris wasn't there, there might be an uproar, but they couldn't say that right now.

　Compared to the fact that the master would be in danger - it was unimportant.

''The question is ...... whether that person will notice it or not. Aine-sama, the example.

Yes, Ilis.

　Aine handed Iris the item she had tucked away in her leather bag.

　It is a blood-like crystal that shines in crimson.

　It's the 'Blood Crystal' that the Flying Dragon (Wyvern) Garfe gave me.

Then I will activate it. Iris's skill - 'Dragon Species Empathy Lv 4'.

　As soon as Iris grasps the crystal, she activates her skills.

　She resonates her own blood and the Blood Crystal.

　I hope that the wise wyvern Garfe will be able to come here.

　The reason Nagi dismantled 'Demon Summoning LV5' was because Iris had the 'Dragon Seed Empathy' skill in her.

Demon Summoning" is a skill that uses a part of a demon to summon the target demon. However, the only demon that Nagi wants to meet is the flying dragon, Garfe.

　If that's the case, instead of "Demon Summoning", she can use Iris's "Dragon Species Empathy" which only allows her to speak to her dragon family.

　You can use the Dragon's Blood and Dragon Species Empathy to communicate with the sea dragon, Kerkator.

Using the Blood Crystal, he could do the same thing to the wyvern's Garfe.

　So Nagi left the Blood Crystal of the Flying Dragon to Iris.

''Please notice ...... your master's friend. I am Garfe of the Flying Dragon──

　Buh, the wind swirled around.

　It's Rafilia's 'Dragon Seed Whirlwind LV1'. The swirling wind hides Iris and the others from their surroundings.

　In addition, Iris creates a celestial dragon's dazzle in 'Illusionary Space'.

　It is a pure white dragon that rises into the sky. It glistens in the moonlight.

　Aine holds the Hagane Mop in her hand and is wary of her surroundings. If there are any witnesses, she is determined to erase their memories without mercy.

　It was only for a moment that Iris created the appearance of a celestial dragon in the 'Illusionary Space'.

　Even so - it was enough to achieve their goal.

　Iris's 'Dragon Species Empathy' was indeed communicating her intentions to the flying dragon in the sky through the 'Blood Crystal' - and she was indeed communicating her intentions to the flying dragon in the sky.



''GUOOOOOOOOOOO!!!''


　I heard the sound of the wind being cut.

　When I looked up, I saw a huge flying dragon figure flying through the dark night.

　Sensing Iris' intentions, the flying dragon Garfe flies straight towards us.

　Then it circled above the sky and slowly landed in front of Iris and the others.

''I'm sorry to call you to this place, flying dragon Garfe!

"GUO! GUAAAAAAAAH!

　Iris does not understand the flying dragon's words.

　But Garfe's golden eyes are looking straight at Iris.

　I don't feel fear. Garfe isn't trying to be intimidating, either.

　Once on the ground, he stops barking and waits for Iris to say something.

'Your superior and Iris's brother, Souma-Nagis-sama, could be in danger!

　Iris clutched her chest and shouted as loud as she could.

'Maybe I'm overthinking it. It may be too much to take. But Iris and the others can't bear the thought of your brother getting hurt, just in case!　Please, please listen to me!

　At Iris's shout, the flying dragon Garfe certainly nodded.

　Where did he learn to do that? He lifted one of his paws, gulp, and held up a finger.

　Iris began to speak, believing that she was getting through to him.

　That Nagi is with a boy who is a candidate for knighthood.

　That a prospective knight might be subjected to some dubious ordeal, limited to the knight class.

　That it might put Nagi, who was with him, in danger.

　You don't have to help me. You don't have to help me. You just have to tell me what's going on. If it's too much trouble for you, Iris will just have to take the 'spanking' later. I'm willing to do that.

　I'm a slave, and I'm acting as if I'm calling the flying dragon without permission. I can't complain no matter what they do to me. I just want you to punish me.

"I beg of you, Garfe!　Would you please drop this on the road leading from the town of Sharka to Irgafa?

　With that, Iris approached the flying dragon Garfe.

　He tied a board with a cord attached to his upraised finger.

'The location is where you and Iris and the others met. Of course, if it would be a problem for you, you can refuse to go to ...... or even──

　lightly

　Above Iris's head, a shadow shone.

　The flying dragon Garfe seemed to nudge Iris' head, faintly, with its wings.

'...... garfe?'

"GUOO, GAA!

'Are you laughing?　Garfe.

It looks like it.

Iris, you're a dragon. Does she think of us as friends?

　I wonder if that's true. Well, that's a good thing.

　It would be nice if Iris could become a real dragon - a messenger of her brother.

"GOOOOOOOAAAAA!

　With a roar, the flying dragon's garfe flapped.

　Slowly, the giant flying dragon's body rose into the sky.

　All the while, Garfe was staring at Iris, Aine, and Raphilia with curiously gentle eyes.




　Iris did not know.

　That Garfe considers Nagi to be his master, and Iris and the others to be his superiors.

　Nagi is the guardian of the 'Heavenly Dragon Larvae'.

　And Rita, Aine, and Iris are the "Okaasan" of "White".

　Garfe doesn't know that the "Treasure of the Misty Valley" is the "Heavenly Dragon's Egg", but he has a faint feeling that the treasure is connected to Nagi and Iris and the others.

　If that Iris called out using the 'Blood Crystal' and 'Dragon Seed Empathy', there is no reason why Garfe, an intelligent flying dragon, would not respond.

　If she's asking for help, she'll respond.

　And if it would help Nagi, that's what Garfe wanted──.




"............OOOOO...AAAAAA!

　And then Garfe flew off into the western sky.

''Thank you. Garfe the Flying Dragon.''

We just need to gather information and prepare for what's to come.

I'll do my best. Then, I'm going to disarm the 'Dragon Seed Whirlwind'!

　With Raphilia's voice, the blinding tornado disappears.

　The operation is over.

' ...... I'm sorry, brother. I did something on my own ......

　Iris murmured quietly.

　Of course, I have permission.

　When we separated, Nagi told me that I could move at my own discretion if the situation arose.

　She said that I could use the cheat skills and items at the discretion of Iris and the others.

　That was a really big trust, and I was so happy that words like "I love you" won't be enough.

　That's why Iris does things like this, you know. Big brother.

　The hem of her dress was swept off with a bang.

　The dust made it all dirty. I have to take a bath when I get home.

　When my brother comes back, I have to tell him what happened and ask him to punish me. I have to clean myself up until then.

If you come back now, you can't take a ...... bath, but you can at least get some hot water.

"Yes. Aine's going to make sure you're ready. You'll be fine. I've already located the maid and the guards.

　Aine is nodding yes, with a mop in hand.

　You're indeed the strongest sister, how dependable you are.

Let's just hope that ...... doesn't find out about Iris' absence.

　Iris involuntarily shook Aine and Raphilia's hands.

''The fake thing we made in the 'illusionary space' should be gone by now. I hope no one has entered the room. ......

That's all right, Mr. Iris. I've given the maids a very good excuse.

　Raphilia puffed out her chest, eh?

'That's my master. So what excuse did you give?'

"Yes. 'Iris-sama is going to do something naughty with the person she loves, so please leave me alone until morning!

'Na──────!'

　Iris' face turned bright red.

　Sh-Shi, Master, how dare you. How dare you──!

'What?　Isn't it Iris-sama that you are willing to use any means to achieve your goals?

So you couldn't come up with another excuse: ......

I didn't think of that one.

Shhhhhh. ......

　Kah, something hot is rising from Iris' stomach.

'Well, well, Iris. I guess I can't help what I said.

'Lord Aine!　Dear Aine: ......

　For some reason, Aine's strangely kind expression made Iris want to cry instead.

I'm sure the maids would be more worried if I said that, right?　What are you going to do if he comes into the room...!

That's all right. I'm supposed to be watching over you while you're here, Mr. Iris.

What kind of a filter is Iris: ────!

'What?　Where's Aine?　What does Aine do for a living?

Aine, you're in charge of rehydrating, wiping up Iris's sweat, and keeping her voice down.

Yeah. So it's safe.

It's not a relief to me at all. ────

　Really, totally, totally.

　I love you too much, Master, and your sister.

...... If no one comes to the room until morning, it's just fine.

　Iris held Raphilia's hand with her right hand and Aine's hand with her left.

'There were always other people there during the trip, so ...... today we'll talk about it until morning with just your brother's slaves. We'll also have a strategy meeting.

That's my girl, Iris. It's a great idea.

'I'm for it!　We have a lot of stories to tell!

'Of course, I have another story to tell you, Master!

　I tried to glare at him as horribly as I could, but he was totally unconcerned.

　Of course you do, because I love you so much.

　How can I make a really scary face?

　Today, for the first time in a long time, the slave girls are in the water.

　I'm having so much fun that my little chest is throbbing.

Come on, let's go home. Let's go home to your brother!

"Oh,



　Thus, Iris, Aine, and Raphilia walked off to their master's house for a watertight strategy meeting (pajama party) with only slave girls.
