Sharanra regained consciousness in a room of a deserted inn.

　Her magic tool, the "Demon Puppet," had been destroyed and she was no longer able to keep her consciousness in it.
　He had originally acquired the doll through penalty kicks, and had used it with great care as a useful tool. However, I never thought that it would be destroyed.
　In addition, the one who did it is his own brother, [Satoshi Osako], and he has a great grudge against his sister, Sharanra, [Reimi Osako], so he is merciless, and even tries to kill her.
　This is the fault of Reimi herself, of course, but she sees Satoshi as a convenient money-grab for her, and doesn't even think of him as "bad" at all. If she were to feel remorse, the relationship between the two sisters would be somewhat different, but the word "remorse" is not in her dictionary.

You've done it, ...... Satoshi ～～～～!

　Naturally, it is her nature to resent.

It's not easy to get a hold of a doll!　In addition to that, you've got to use all of your substitute dolls and sacrificial gifts, and that's a huge loss!

In this world, substitute dolls and sacrificial gifts are relics of a bygone era. Of course, there is no one who can make them. Once they were lost, it was impossible to obtain them again.
　Now, Reimei would have to do the assassination work by herself, and her safety could not be guaranteed. What's more, with her remaining life expectancy limited by the potion of rejuvenation, there was no way she could do anything rash.
　It's a good idea that the only mage who can remove the effects of this potion is the younger brother, Satoshi, but the bad relationship between the two siblings has taken its toll here.

　I don't care if you die," he said to his own sister. The fact that Reimei was able to say to her own sister, "I don't mind if you die," was probably the result of all the things she had done. Her brother is so obsessed with madness that he is willing to kill her.
　He would run her over with his magic bike without mercy if he saw her. On Earth, it's difficult to commit a perfect crime because of the laws and the disposal of corpses that leave some traces of your actions.
　Thanks to this, Reimei was able to survive, but in this other world, the price of life is cheap. The price of life is low in this world, and forensic investigation is impossible, so magic and magical tools can be used to commit the perfect crime.
　Furthermore, Satoshi is so determined to kill Reimi that he makes her spend all of her cards and warns her that there will be no next time. If she shows herself to Satoshi, there is no doubt that he will kill her without mercy. He would do exactly what he said he would do.
　In a sense, Reimi's ability to say, "It's not my fault," even though she is resented to this extent, is amazing.

I'm sure you'll be able to understand that I'm not the only one who has a problem with this. ...... How heartless of you to not only abandon your own sister, but to try to kill her!

　It's a good thing that you're not the only one who has a problem with this. But unfortunately, Reimi is a self-centered person who lives her life to the fullest.
　She doesn't care if she's ruining her brother's life or spending other people's money, and she has no remorse at all.
　From another point of view, he lived a very positive life. In a sense, it is an enviable character.
　However, in the present, Reimi has a big problem.

I'm not joking. I'm not kidding, I don't want to die yet!

　As a result of using items taken from others, she will become an old woman in a few years, and her life will soon be over.
　As a result of using items taken from others, she became an old woman in a few years, and her life would soon end. And she was dirtier than anyone else.

If it was made by one of Satoshi's friends, of course he is responsible for it. The problem is that he's an annihilator. ...... It's obvious that if you go near him, he'll kill you, and that's a problem. ......

　I remember when I was forced to wear an unknown piece of equipment and was thrown into a cave inhabited by dragons. I remember when I was forced to wear some unknown equipment and thrown into a cave inhabited by multiple dragons. All of my equipment and items were used up, and I was forced to fight endlessly with my escape route blocked.
　There was too much of a difference in their levels to defeat them, and all the items they consumed disappeared.
　There were no words of "mercy" or "forgiveness," only a firm will to "hunt down and annihilate the enemy. Moreover, the more time passes, the more other demons appear in groups, and the difficulty level rises dramatically.
　I tasted hell thoroughly until I returned to death. Moreover, the cursed items remained intact and were chased by demons until the effects wore off. The ones who haunt her to the end are the Annihilators, and they are so vindictive that it is no exaggeration to say that they are almost evil spirits.
　To her, the Annihilators were nothing but objects of fear, and she would never have imagined that one of them would be her own brother. Now that I think about it, I can understand her relentlessness.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for. In addition to that, I don't know where he lives. ....... I'm not sure what to make of this, but I think it's a good idea.

　I'm not sure what to make of this.
　It is a monster with overwhelming strength for a high level person. Low-level players who have augmented their abilities with the effects of equipment items are no match for him. This is the tricky part.
　Moreover, if he possesses assassination skills, there is no way he can win.
　In addition, he thinks that Satoshi knows about the existence of an item that removes the effect of the [Secret Potion of Rejuvenation]. He has always been a person who does not trust others and uses them, so he only interprets things in his own favor.
　Even if you honestly say, "There is no such thing as an item that cancels the effects of the potion! If the person himself does not believe it, it is meaningless. The rest is just selfishness running wild.

The first step is to find out where he is and move in, and then fill in the outer moat. ....... I'm sure he's a recluse anyway, so I'll do what I always do: ......

　Reimei - or Sharanra, as she prefers to be called - is determined not to die.
　But she's forgotten. She forgets that it is her brother, Satoshi, who understands her best. .......
　The fact that she can't play the same hand over and over again has completely disappeared from her mind.
　In fact, the fact that she had been kicked out of the dormitory when her job required her to move into a bachelor's dormitory was not even in the corner of her mind.
　Above all, the current Satoshi - Xelloss - does not have the word "reserve.
　The fact that he would be a very dangerous opponent in this other world, let alone on Earth, had vanished from her mind. She acts on the spur of the moment and is short-sighted.
　When her predictions are wrong, she has the vitality to react flexibly. 　In her mind, she thought that Xellos was just a brother that she could use.
　No, it was because he turned out to be her own brother that she might have decided to go big.

Wait for it: ....... I'll do whatever it takes to get you to talk. ...... Hmmm.

　The snobbish girl decided to find out where Xelloss lived.
　And she didn't even think about the possibility of her devious plan failing. She was truly a woman who never learned.


　He has a very enviable character.

　.

　Two days after the rescue of Zveit, Zeroth and his friends were being driven in a carriage.
　The training was over and the students were on their way back to Istor Academy of Magic.
　Those who have advanced to a higher level are feeling tired and are now being carried in the back of the carriage, while those who have not are forced to keep walking.
　Iris and Janae are happy that they were able to get materials for their demons, but Lena is in a somber mood. Perhaps it's because she couldn't get her hands on the boys she was looking for.

　The boys had somehow awakened to a biased sense of justice and were now with the Weasler Reformers, the group that Zveit and the others were working for.
　The name "Weasler Reformed" is just something that the boys and the people around them are saying on their own, but it will be a little while before it becomes common knowledge.
　Incidentally, Xellos was running his pen over a stack of papers, drawing a sketch of a woman in several different patterns.

"Uncle ......, what are you doing?　A sketch?
"Is this it?　I'm writing a letter of intent for some loathsome son of a b*tc*. What do you think will happen if I give this to the Duke of Delsacis?
"Hateful is ...... your sister, right?　Isn't she usually wanted?　But still, ...... you're good.

　I'm sure you'll be able to understand why.
　The reason why Xellos is able to draw such pictures is because he is a production worker and is good at designing. The reason why Xelloss can draw such pictures is because he is good at designing as he is a production worker. It was one of the abilities that he possessed as a skill because he can put various designs in some equipment.

Yes, I tried to kill the heir to a duke's family, you know?　You're going to be hunted by bounty hunters and you're going to have to live off the radar every day. I'm sure he'll be showing up at my door soon.

　Xellos, who already knew what he was going to do, decided to make the first move.
In the event that you're not sure what to do, you may want to check with your doctor.

But why are there so many different kinds?　This is a child, isn't it?
It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for. It's a good idea to make the first move to check and narrow down your options. The woman has a good appearance, so there is no guarantee that people will not be fooled.
What kind of sister is that? ....... You don't have a good family, old man. ......
I play the good sister in front of people. Mr. Jarnay will probably be fooled soon. So is Luceris. ......

　Both of them are too good-natured for their own good, so Jarnay and Luceris are good dupes for Shalandra.
　They are so bad that even if you lend them a little money, before you know it, you could be saddled with a debt. At worst, he would do something so evil that he would fall into slavery.
　Xelloss explained as he drew the portrait.

What a vicious woman. ....... I don't want to see you!
I don't want to meet her!" "If she looked her age or younger, you'd both be more likely to be fooled. He'll stop at nothing to get what he wants, and he's so corrupt that he'll forge documents if you accidentally leave him a letter or message.
What kind of woman is this?　What kind of woman is this? She's beyond vicious!
She is so rotten that she thinks that other people's money is hers. She is so self-centered that she will easily sacrifice the lives of others in order to live in luxury. ....... Huh~......
You're in trouble, Uncle. ......　　
I'm sure she's not afraid to kidnap orphans and sell them to slavers. I'm sure she wouldn't hesitate to sell Miss Jahne or Miss Luceris. That woman is ......

　She wants to protect the people close to her, and she has a lot of tricks up her sleeve to do so.
　If they don't, there's a good chance that Janne and the others will be easily deceived and find themselves in the company of prostitutes.
　Shallanra's viciousness is so great that it's not enough to be wary of all the moves she can make. The number of victims will continue to increase if we don't kill him next time.

But you don't know how to remove the effects of the potion, do you?　Don't you believe her?
"That woman only thinks what's good for her. Even if you say you don't know, it won't matter if he doesn't believe you, and more importantly, he won't believe a word I say. That's why I have to put a stop to this as soon as possible!　
"Ah~ ......, so that's the kind of person he is~. You're a selfish person, aren't you?
I'm sure you're not the only one.　I'm sure you're a scoundrel, no matter how you look at it!
I'm not sure what to make of this.
That's right ......, that's what the arrangement is for. They think they will always be young, so they overreact to words like 'hag' and 'old'. He doesn't know it, though.

　Janné and Iris seemed to have fully understood the depth of Sharanla's annoyance.
　Next to them, Lena shed tears as she saw the boys peel off their skin.

"Mr. Carbruno. I'm sure you're not the only one.


"Yes, but in reality, it's difficult. But in reality, it's difficult. The noble mages who are trained to fulfill their duties have high self-esteem. I don't think they'll be easily convinced, and they're desperate to get ahead. The second and third sons might be able to bring them to us, but they don't have the stomach to make enemies of their own families.
Reform may be difficult ......, but we have to do it!
Of course!　It is the young generation like us who will make the future. It's the younger generation that will make the future. The old people with their old habits need to retire.
"Mr. Carbullino, ----- is too good... --------!

　There are some ...... strange characters in the mix, but the boys are ready to dedicate themselves to a better future. They are trying to reform the country by looking at the knowledge they have from a different perspective.
　One wrong move and they will turn into extremists. I don't know what will happen to these boys in the future, but I would like to think that at least for now they are not going in the wrong direction. ......

Until recently, he was an unspoiled boy, but in the past few days he has become such an adult: ....... It was my job to make them mature, you know?　And yet ......
"No, I don't have that role!

　There's a problem when there are lewd animals hanging around in places where young people participate.
　Fortunately, the boys will only have a good time, but if they should have children, that would be a problem.
　Especially if a child is born to a nobleman or a wealthy merchant, it could cause trouble in many areas.

"Rena-san ......, which is more important to you, temporary pleasure or living expenses?
Pleasure!　If you take that away, there's nothing left for me!
You're so assertive, ----!　I'm ashamed of you!　I'm ashamed of you! What if you have children?　I don't know what would make you do that?
"That's because you're a virgin, Janae. Get Xelloss to make you a woman. You know how I feel about that.　And if it's a girl, I'll raise her like a normal girl, and if it's a boy, I'll ...... Julli ...... hehehe♡
I'm not sure what you're talking about, but I'm not sure what you're talking about,-----.　I'm sure you've heard the same thing before.

　Jharnae is not immune to this kind of talk because he is not very good at it.
　Lena knew this, and she knew it, so she had a very thick personality. And her sense of ethics is a little strange. It was an effective way to avoid Janae's sermon, but Rena's common sense was out of step with the general public.

'Mr. Xelloss, would you please get off my back?　If you don't, Janae will be a dead end.　As a friend, I'm a little worried.
As for me, I'm always open to it, but it all depends on how you feel about it, doesn't it?　I'm not going to deny that forcing a woman to do something she doesn't want to do is a bit of a problem,......, but it's also an exciting development.
I'm sure you'll agree.　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.　I'm sure you'll be able to understand why.
I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that.　I'm not sure what to make of this.　I'm sure you'll be able to find something that works for you.
"Xelloss-san's house is behind the orphanage, right?　Then there's no problem. But if I get married, I won't be able to live as a mercenary. ...... Will that be a problem?

　Lena and Iris began to make fun of Janae.
　The problem is, when you bring up these topics, Janae gets stubborn. It's only a matter of time before he says, "I don't want to get married! It's only a matter of time before he says, "I don't want to get married!
　And if his mood gets worse, he won't even talk to you for a while.

I'm a good old boy. I'm not sure what to do.　Isn't that a problem?
I think you'll be fine.　I'm sure you'll be able to figure out what's going on. It's better than being a criminal, isn't it?　Lena, you're so indiscriminate. ......
I'm not going to deny it.　Well, I won't deny it.
You need to pull yourself together.　Why do you have to say it out loud?

　Putting aside Shallanra, marriage will be a serious matter.
　After all, he would suddenly be marrying two wives. Furthermore, they are childhood friends, and they both have feelings for Xellos. Jahne is in denial, but it's obvious from his attitude.
　The love syndrome is a nasty disease that not only reveals one's compatibility with the opposite s*x, but also makes one's instincts demand it, no matter how much one denies it.
　I'm not sure if I can call it a love sickness, but it definitely has a high possibility of creating a happy family.

For now, please leave this topic for later. If you are shown such a cute jane, your instincts will go out of control and you won't be able to resist. ...... Seriously, you know?
I'm sure you'll be able to understand why.
I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that.

　I'm not sure what to say.
　I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but it's a good idea.
　The only person who is not aware of it is himself.

　I'll be back.



I'm not sure what to say.

　The two members of the Unattractive Alliance, Zveit and Elomra, were both screaming their souls out.
　For two people who have never had a girlfriend in their lives, they are jealous that Xellos is surrounded by women.
　The two of them can tolerate Iris as well, so having her around, including women like Janae and Lena, seems to be a very rear-facing thing.

"Why ...... did those old men have to have those girls around them? ...... The world is made of unreasonable things!
I know how you feel, comrade ........ But the master is more mature than we are. I'm sure you're not the only one.
"Kuh. ...... So we're just youngsters after all. ....... There are things that youth alone can't do. ......
"A master can take care of several women at once. A master can take care of several women at once. He has the power to make that much money. ......
Economic power and strength: ....... I should have gone for a production job too. ......

　The two of them hit it off, and while they complain to each other like drunks drinking in the middle of the day, the tension gradually rises.
　For these two, Zeroth's position seems to be endlessly enviable.

I'm looking forward to it. I'm looking forward to it.
I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that.　I've often seen him talking to Croisus. ...... You still haven't even talked to him?
I've never been able to find a trigger,...... I'm a combat mage and I'm in a position to use magic,...... I'm jealous. I wish I knew what she liked.
I used to talk to my Macintosh a lot. ......
Makarov, right?　I wish I knew what she liked. ...... No, wait!　You talk to him a lot?　I'm not saying that Makarov also knows Celestina .......

　It's a great way to make sure you're getting the most out of your money.
　I've never even talked to her properly myself, and I'm getting impatient with this unexpected ambush. And that impatience was about to take a dangerous turn.

"Let's get rid of it while we can: ....... We have to get rid of the vermin that get close to her. ......
I'm sure you're not the only one.　If you assassinate her, you'll lose a lot more than just your popularity.
I want to have a magic discussion with my ...... girlfriend, too!

　It's not that I'm about to head out there and go, but I already have. .......
　Dio, the cry of the soul . Unfortunately, Dio was not a magic maker, but a magic user.
　Naturally, he was in no position to interfere in the conversation with Makarov, who was also a production worker and researcher. He could talk about strategy all he wanted, but he was not in a position to create magical formulas for improvements and efficiency.
　Of course, Deeo was good at magic operation, but he was not an expert in suggesting improvements or energy saving. Of course, he could not decipher magic formulas.
　A mage who specializes in combat is trained to use existing magic, which is a different way of thinking from a researcher. This is because their main research is limited to strategy.
　He was in the sad position of having to watch from the side, with Croisus, another researcher, by his side.

"Comrade ......, you're in a tough spot. You're the bridge between my best friend and my sister. You should introduce me to her if you can. ...... No, it's nothing.
"You were right not to tell me where you were going with this.　You're right that I didn't tell you where to go from there. If I had told you where to go from there, ...... you'd better watch your back, okay?
Dio, ...... you can't talk to people like that. ....... What are you going to do about my grandfather?
...... We have to kill him before he kills us, right?　If it happens, ...... Zveit, I want you to pick up the bones.
You're risking your life?　How prepared are you for this?
What is so horrible about the old comrade?　I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's worth it. ......

　In the event that you're a slave, you're going to be under house arrest for a while at the guild.
　In fact, as a slave, he is in a position where he can't refuse orders at will, so his escape from the illegal situation is appreciated. Moreover, he was a criminal slave who was sold behind the scenes.
　If he had played a role in stopping the assassination, it was possible that he could become a free man. At this point, he is waiting for his father, Delsasis, to make a decision. .......

I remember one more comrade, ...... Anne?　What are you doing?　I can't see her. ......
I'm sure he's sleeping in the wagon with ...... your master.　There are three cocoons screaming in agony. ......
"I'm going to take that strongest creature alone ........ In a way, isn't she the strongest of them all?

　In the corner of the wagon in which the Zeros are riding, the cocoons that have fainted and blanched around the girl who is crouching and sleeping are convulsing without power.
　In the event that you have any questions regarding where and the best way to get in touch with us, please do not hesitate to contact us.
　In spite of their thoughts, the slow-paced girl was sleeping happily.

　I'm sure you'll agree with me.

I'm not sure what to make of this.　How in the world should I use it ......?


"You've been mixing potions again, haven't you?　You're not going to give off any weird fumes this time, are you?

　On the back of the carriage, Croisus is diligently mixing a potion.
　Fortunately, it didn't produce any strange poisonous gas, but when I tried to [appraise] it, I had no idea what kind of effect the potion had. As expected, I ended up twisting my head.

"Even Croisus-sama's [appraisal] doesn't know what kind of effect it has?
I'm sure you'll be able to find something that will help you out.
It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

　I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but I think it's a good idea.
　There are several types of enhancers, but they are not so complicated that you can't use your appraisal skills to check them. It's impossible to not understand the description.

I'm not sure if it's a new drug.　If so, it would explain why I can't appraise it.
"That's what I thought, too, Celestina. I thought so too, Celestina. It's an accidental product. It's an accidental product, but I have the recipe.
So you can make it again and again. We're about to write a new chapter in our faction's history.
But first, I need to find out how it works. Brother Croisus, ...... please do not experiment on humans. ......
No, I won't. ....... What does Celestina think I am?

　I'm not sure what you're talking about.
　I'm sure that if you ask Xellos here, he can give you a detailed evaluation, but my pride as a mage will not allow me to do so.
　Croisus is such a researcher that he can't be bothered to investigate anything himself.

I assure you. "I assure you, if Croisus is making it, it's probably not very good!
"That's a terrible accusation. I've made a lot of weird stuff like that ....... But failure is a part of experimentation. These failures lead to new results!
You were aware of that?　In your case, failure is not enough. There will be casualties for sure. ......

　I still wondered why there were no deaths.
　The problem was that while there were no deaths, there were terrible symptoms, terrible trauma, and sightings of creatures he'd never seen before.

"Speaking of which, what exactly was it that Mr. Carosti witnessed in Brother Croesus' room earlier?　I haven't been given any details. ...... Mr. Carosti?
"・・・・・・・・・・・・.

　I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but it's a good idea.
　Croisus, who was sleeping in his room in the sea of decay, did not notice, but his non-existent roommate was certainly present in his room.
　By chance, Carostee opened the unlocked door and witnessed an impossible presence there.
　The presence left an indelible trauma in her mind.
　Celestina's casual words brought up the situation of that time sealed in the depths of her memory, and she recalled it vividly in her mind as a flashback.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!

　And screaming. He had just witnessed something terrifying.

"No way!　There's no way that creature could exist in this world!　
"'Pleasant'?

　She then crouched down on the spot as if possessed by something and started mumbling something to herself.
　I tried to ask her for details, but the words of those present did not reach her.
　She would be like a patient in a mental ward somewhere. It would be useless to listen to her. There are some things in this world that are better left unknown.

"Seriously, ......, what did you see in your room?
"Well, ...... as far as I can remember, all I saw was her passed out in the hallway being cared for by you. I'd like you to tell me what you saw. ......
I'm sure you'll be able to figure out what happened. What the hell was in Brother Croisus' room?　It's a mystery. ......　
"Oh, by the way, a year ago. I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not.　I'll blow you up! A year ago, I heard a voice from Croisus' room saying, "Stop, stop! Who the hell was there?
I don't know, sir. I'd like to know.

　The Dangerous Zone of Istor Academy of Magic, Croisus' room in the student dormitory, has become a mysterious area inhabited by unknown creatures.
　It is known as a dangerous zone where everyone is afraid to set foot in and never approach it.
　For some reason, Yee Lin is the only one who can enter this mysterious space-time room and clean it.
　Even Yee Lin has never heard of an unknown creature being seen in Croisus' room.

Yee Lin is the only one who hasn't seen anything. ....... Are you sure you didn't see anything?　Are you sure you didn't see anything? Are you sure you didn't just erase it from your memory like Caro did?
"I can't deny that possibility, but I still haven't had any problems, you know?　How do you explain that?
I don't know. If you don't know where you live, how can we, outsiders, know where you live? ......
That's a good point. Well, let's just think about this enhancer for now. ...... What is it really?



　Cloisus is curious about the unknown, but he's not so obsessed with what he doesn't know that he can't stick with it forever.
　He looked at the potentizer in his hand and began to pick up some of the various ways of mixing potions.

　And so the group, including the students and mercenaries, continued on their way back to the academy city of Steeler.
　At this point, the difference in the levels of the students at the academy was almost even, and it could be said that the practical training was a success.
　Among them, there were some who had risen from the bottom of the class to the top, but their abilities far exceeded those of the instructors.
　This was great for the academy, but for the instructors, it meant more trouble for them.
　This would eventually lead to a complete overhaul of the school's education, but that didn't matter to the people who were sitting here talking about it.
　At any rate, this was the end of the training in the forest of Ramauf.
