The small house where Tino lives is now filled with ugly curses.

Tino, the owner of the house, has no choice but to cower in the corner and watch.
Hunters basically become physically stronger the more they conquer the treasure house. It is very difficult to win against a superior hunter, since the hunter gains experience in addition to improving basic abilities.
I'm proud to say that Tino is also a mid-level hunter, but the two older sisters were truly different.

You can't seduce my Tee without my permission! The tee was entrusted to Liz by Cry-chan! Cry-chan gave it to me to use as I please!

Liz, the master, shouts in a high-pitched voice with blue streaks.
The energy that rises from her body is enormous, as befits a high-ranking hunter.

It's because your sister insisted on it! If I had kept it, Tee-chan would have been able to fly and even shoot beams from her eyes, making her a super hunter like never before!

The other sister replied in a rather low voice.
Compared to the former, she maintains her composure, but the power that flows from her body is no less than that of her master.

If two people with similar talents form the same party and have similar experiences, they will absorb the same amount of mana and material. Although their jobs are very different, from Tino's point of view, they are both very similar.

The two sisters were not only people he respected, but also people he feared.
In the event you've got a lot of time, you'll be able to take a look at a few of the best ways to get the most out of your home.

'In general, Tee-chan would rather have a master who's rich and gives her power easily than a master who pushes her in a strange way, right?'

'Ah! There's no point in having power given to you! Besides, you don't just add, you subtract!

'You have to choose your target! Tee-chan doesn't need to be deprived of her free will, and she's small enough to be carried around easily, so it's best, right?

'Hey, you kids! Don't start a fight, you'll scare the little girl!

As the two bared their will to fight each other, Mr. Marches, who had been watching them with a tightly drawn face, intervened.
However, the momentum of the two showed no signs of slowing down.

'That treasure is something that Tee and I found! Don't interfere in my business!

'It's not your sister's, it's Tee-chan's! You're the one who said you'd give it to me, so I should have the right to it.

I didn't say that. ...... Sister Sitri.

I tried to argue with her, but she looked at me at the right moment and I couldn't say anything.
The ownership of the bracelet-type treasure, the Mirage Form, has completely left Tino's will.
The knife and the dress are nice, but Tino would have preferred to deliver them himself if he was so pleased. However, it would be useless to ask for it back now.

'You always interrupt me at the right moment! You thieving cat! Stay locked up in the lab!

'It's your sister's fault for always causing trouble! You know how hard I've been trying to cover it up...'

'Huh? It's the same with Luke, and I didn't ask you to cover it up!

'In Luke's case, the other party can't talk, so it's not a problem! It's just my sister!

Finally, Liz starts throwing the treasure chest that fell on the floor at Citri.
The treasure chest was thrown without any mercy, but Citry showed great reflexes for an alchemist and used a tray on the table as a shield to block it.
The bounced treasure chest destroyed the cupboard and pierced the wall. The window glass shattered and a terrible sound echoed.

Tino summoned up the last of his courage and raised a faint voice.

'Please stop, sister! I'm the one that the neighbors are going to be mad at!

She quickly caught the teacup and pot with both hands, which were loaded with kinetic energy. She instantly judged the broken items from the flying furniture, caught them and put them in the corner. I was desperate.
I'm so glad it's not mealtime. If a fork or a knife flew at me, I might get injured, let alone a pot or a cup.

In order to protect Murchis at least, he knocked down the flying objects.
Marches was horrified by the fight between the sisters, which heated up quickly. Even as objects flew around, the two did not stop cursing each other.

'Dude, it's the same no matter who gives it to you. ......'

'Oh, you can take a break and ...... let me give it to you or--'

Tino's words no longer reached the ears of the two.
It was better that they were only throwing things around, but if they were left alone, they would start throwing knives and potions, and Tino's house would be half destroyed. And then you'll be stuck in a shabby house until Tino spends what little money he has left to fix it up.

It's impossible to intervene and mediate. Neither Master nor Sister Sitri would stop at nothing when Tino alone entered.
Only members of the same party, or people who have been friends with the Master such as Eva and have common sense and sensitivity, can stop them. And such people rarely come to Tino's house.

It was then that Tino suddenly heard the sound of the front door being slammed in his ear.

'Masutaa! I've missed you so much!

What's going on here? I rolled my eyes, cake box in hand.
The moment he saw my face, he let out an uncharacteristically high-pitched scream and looked down at Tino, who hugged me. I don't know what's going on.

I was certainly planning to show him my hard-boiled and witty personality, but I didn't expect to be welcomed so enthusiastically.

Tino's house, which I hadn't seen in a long time, was in a terrible state of disarray.
Lidded treasure chests littered the floor, broken window panes and cupboards. It's a bit like a beautiful ruin.
Was she in the middle of cooking?

In the middle of the living room stood the Smart sisters, who looked familiar.
They're looking at us, smiling indescribably.

For some reason, Liz waved her right hand holding a knife, and Citrie hid a bottle of red-burning potion behind her back and puffed out her cheeks.

'Ah ............ Cry, good morning.'

'Look, your sister was selfish, so Kry-san came--' Hello, Krai-san.'

'Hey, kid, you're late! Get a move on!

It's not strange that Citry and Liz are at Tino's house, but for some reason, Mr. Marches is there today too.
And for some reason, his face turned bright red and he was glaring at me. I just brought a cake, but how did I end up in this situation? .......

I put my hand on Tino's head, which was in the right place, and tilted my head as I combed his hair.
I don't understand the situation at all, but--.

'At any rate, ...... sit up straight.'

§


'No, Mr. Cry. There's a misunderstanding about this: ......'



'You know, the short version is that Sito and Tee tried to take credit for my work. Hey, it's not my fault, is it?'

Citrie and Liz are sitting upright on the carpet, side by side, making excuses.
I sat back in my chair and sighed deeply. Next to me, Tino, who has finally calmed down, looks at me with respect for some reason.

'I'm not. You haven't.'

I'm not sure what the situation is, but that's not how apologies are supposed to be made.
I'm a master of apologies, so I get a failing grade.

Citry and Liz fell silent with tears in their eyes as I made my mistake. When you put them together like this, you can clearly see that they are sisters.

Citly and Liz have always fought. From arguing to scuffling, it's a scene I'm used to seeing, but it must be unbearable for those around them to see them start fights with the same feeling even after gaining power.

'How come Kry-san is ............ No, we weren't really fighting either ......'.

'Yes, yes. This is like a preparation exercise! Tee is used to it, and even if Kry-chan doesn't come out for anything,............'

They apologized in a way that sounded like they felt guilty. Unlike me, they probably don't get many opportunities to apologize, and it seems very difficult to do so.
I'm just here to deliver a cake.

Mr. Murchis said in disgust to the two girls, who had become as quiet as borrowed cats.

'...... As usual, the little guy is your weakness. ......'

'I'm just saying, we haven't known each other that long.

'No, that's not what this is about--'

It's likely that Liyes was the first to make a move this time anyway. It's easy for her to get involved in casual things. .......
But she is not just a ruffian. She is not just a rambunctious child. She can be quiet if you tell her what to do. There are just too many ...... things she won't listen to even if you tell her.

'You're right, Mastaa,......, thank you very, very much. The only person who can stop your sisters from fighting is you.''

Tino says with tears in his eyes and a look that's more worship than respect.
I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.

'T...... remember that later.

'I was only looking out for the best interests of ...... both sides.'

Liz clenches her fists and glares at Tino, while Citrie looks up at her as if begging for mercy. Apparently, she has no intention of being remorseful.
I'm not saying that the sisters should stop fighting. They say the more you fight, the better you get along. .......

However, it is interesting that you scold her without knowing the cause of the quarrel.
When I was in a completely stranger mood, Citri sensed something about my silence and, while dexterously sitting on the floor, he crept up to me. When he got to my feet, he hugged my legs and let out a chirp.

Sitri is much more stylish than Liz and Tino. To be more specific, she has large breasts.
It is very uncomfortable to feel the soft touch of her hug.

'I'm sorry, Cry. I didn't mean to cause you any trouble. If we had just had a little more time, we could have settled this peacefully!

I have a weakness for being hit in the chest. ...... No, what man is strong enough for that?
But after seeing that scene, it's impossible to settle this peacefully if there's just a little time. What kind of magic was he planning to use?

'Kry-chan, I didn't mean to bother you either, you know? It's just that Tee and Sito need to be a little more patient. ......'

As if to compete with that, Liz stood up and clutched her knees vigorously. I'm a king when I'm in the mood.
Without thinking, I nodded plausibly and snapped my fingers.

'Yeah, yeah, yeah. ...... Anyway, you two, clean up.'

Citry and Liz stood up together. It was proof that even if you don't know what's going on, you can do something about it.

'! I love cleaning! I'll do my best!

'Sito, you go and get the glass. I'll clean up. I'll clean it up. ............ We'll have to use sturdier glass next time, it's too much trouble.

'Sister, I'll just use the strongest glass I can find...' 'No, it's nothing.

Citry runs out, and Liz picks up the dishes on the floor and starts to clean up the fallen shelves. It's not the first time he's done this, so he's used to it.
The room will be back in a little while.
The only new thing I have learned today is that Liz and Cicely's apologies are completely inadequate. ...... I think it's great that you're going to hit me in the chest.



'Speaking of which, Mastaa. What are you doing here today?

'Oh. I brought you my new cake. I thought I'd return the favor.

Liz and Cicely are always giving me trouble. .......
Just as I was about to continue, I noticed that Tino was crying as if he was overcome with emotion.

I'm going to follow you with you.

'Uh, yeah. Well. It's not that over the top. ...... Come on, don't cry. ......'

...... Tino's reactions today are so over the top.
It's just that I brought her a piece of cake,......, but perhaps I should be a little nicer to her in general?

Tino sips his nose, rubs his soggy eyes, and opens the cake box. When he saw the two slices of cake inside, he rolled his eyes for a moment, but quickly nodded in agreement.

'As expected of Masutaa. The other slice is for you, isn't it?

？？？？？？？

The other slice is for me. The other slice is for me? I didn't even know you were here.

'Keke. You don't have to ...... care about that, why don't you just come and help the little girl?

I'm not being considerate. I'm not going to give it to you, and if you don't want it, why not?
When I froze at the unexpected words, Tino, a capable junior, immediately followed up.

'Masutaa is a very loyal person. Don't say that--Masutaa's cakes are excellent.



'...... Tsk. I'm not sure I'd take it if you said so. I'll take it home and give it to my granddaughter.

'...... Yeah, yeah, yeah.'

What the hell am I doing here?
