This is Cassandra Liana San Baltaza. She's the one who summoned you here and, as you may recall, the head mage at the court of the Kingdom of Halkeniya herself.

　In Mr. Noel's office.

　We had been introduced to Ms. Kassandra again by Noel-san.

　Across the table, me and Kassandra-san were sitting on the sofa, facing each other. Meiru was sitting next to me, and Mei Fan was on the other side of the table.

　Noel-san was sitting on the short side of the long, narrow table close to Cassandra-san and me.

'What do you mean by that, Noel? I'm still doing my job very well. It is the duty and pride of a nobleman to do his duty.

You have a mouth as usual. Are you going to tell me that the daughter of a duke in charge left the capital to visit a remote village, and now she comes to the adventurer's town of Zeto just to meet a mere adventurer?

Yes, that's right. As the court's top mage, isn't it my duty to visit the village where Philimina's flute once appeared, to inspect it?　It must be dusty on your end and your mind is so lousy that you can't even understand such things.

...with a really good spinning mouth.

　Just by watching Noel and Cassandra's wryly sarcastic banter, you can tell that they are old friends.

　On the surface, they appear to be in a bad mood, but in fact, it's probably because they trust each other that they are able to talk to each other in such an open manner.

　It was more like a rotten relationship than a close one.

　On the other hand, I was nervous when I was suddenly called out by the head mage of the court by name.

　I didn't feel like I could talk to him properly.

　After all, Cassandra Liana San Baltaza is a shrewd young lady from a duke's family and the youngest to become the court's top mage (..........).

　Although it's only been less than a year since she became the court's first mage, there are too many voices praising her power.

　She has the power to single-handedly slaughter dragons, and the magic that she releases with her immense magical power is described as being equivalent to a divine miracle.

　In addition to her family background and abilities, she also possesses the beauty of her appearance. The proportions are especially great, with a bosom that jutted out like an opening, so much so that it looked as if it would land on the table just by leaning out of the chair.

　Just by looking at them, our cheeks are getting hot.

　I was surprised to be called out by name by such a grown man.

''Let's leave the condescending Noel aside. It's a good thing that you're not the only one. From now on, please get acquainted with me, Mr. Gerald. Sierra-chan has told me about you.

　Kassandra-san leans over to talk to me, who is nervous.

　........As she leaned forward, her breasts rested on the table. You can even hear a pouting sound.

''As usual, this person called you is a mockery.

　Noel-san muttered grimly.

　But Cassandra-san apparently doesn't have that awareness either.

''Oh, what are you talking about?''

　And a pouting face.

　Ms. Cassandra's reaction made Noel look unhappy, but she gave a tired sigh, "Huh," she said.

　On the other hand, Kassandra-san, who was sitting across the table in the Oval Office from me, was giving me an eager look with even a smile on her mouth.

　To such Kassandra-san--.

''Well, ha, yes. Well, it seems that Sierra has been a great help to me...........

　I could only give a sluggish reply.

　I had never talked to such a beautiful woman in my previous life.

　More than the face and the gesture, above all, she was a bombshell.

　I felt as if I couldn't even look at her and speak to her.

　I had trouble finding a place to look, and my eyes shifted to the person next to Cassandra.

　

''My brother's pervert.''

It's been a long time since we've seen each other and you're starting to sound like a cold-blooded a**h*le.

　She was my sister and my favorite disciple as a mage, Sierra.

　That's right. Sierra had become good friends with Kassandra-san, who came to the village to inspect the village in relation to "The Flute of Filimina," and to her surprise, they had come to Zeto City together.

''Because... I came all the way here just to see my favorite brother, but as usual, I still have a thieving cat as a samurai, and before I know it, I even have a pet, and I'm growing a nose for Kassandra-san.

What do you mean by a cat burglar?

I'm sorry, I'm Mr. Gerald's pet?

　Meil and Mei Fan roll their eyes and speak up. I mean, Mei Fan is not a pet. Rather, he's a landlord.

''Oh. Ufufu. As expected of lords, are they still fierce?''

　Cassandra-san put her hand over her mouth and made a teasing noise.

　

I'm sorry.

No. Don't worry about it, okay?　It's more that he's a boy. If I didn't have a single ulterior motive, that would be the problem.

　As she says it, Kassandra-san still sends me a sinking look... but it's also very s*xy.

　When I faltered, unable to respond satisfactorily, Sierra said again

'I left the village and didn't see him for a while, and then my brother turned into a pervert...'

　He muttered in a sad voice.

'Nah, it's not!　I'm not a pervert by any means!　It's normal!

'Yes, indeed, Mr. Gerald is normal. Apparently your eyes have been glued to my chest for some time now.

Yeah, I mean...

'Mmmm. It's normal for a boy to be attracted to an attractive woman, so you don't have to worry about it, okay?

　And so on.........

　I think most boys would be upset if a woman detected their ulterior motives.

''Gerald, why don't you make fun of Mr. Gerald around that?

Oh, God. Oh, Noel, you look terrible.

　Noel gave her a cold stare, but Cassandra chuckled and passed it off.

'Well, more importantly!　Mr. Noel called me here, but did you have something to do with me?

Brother, I think you're trying to play along and you used to be more honest with me.

　It's Sierra who gives me a reproachful look.

''Oh well. Brother I know you like Mr. Gerald, but you can't get to the point at this point. Besides, it's a requirement for a good woman to turn a blind eye to what's wrong with a man, right?

I didn't tell you that I love my brother. Mr. Kassandra, you're an idiot.

　Who was that guy who said he loved (..........) his brother earlier?

What are you looking at!

　I turned a dumbfounded look at him, and Sierra glared at me with a snap and yelled at me.

　Her cheeks were bright red, as if she was embarrassed.

''Yes, yes, I'm sorry,''

I'm sure my brother is always so uncaring, and he leaves his underwear out, and doesn't do the laundry, and he really needs to realize that he can't live without me at all... ... well, well, but because he's that kind of a brother, I really have no choice but to take care of him, so, well, you know, he's not going to be able to stay that way at all...

　When I gave her a curt reply, Sierra turned her face away from me to complain about her embarrassment and started mumbling.

　Her voice always gets quieter as she goes into the second half.

Well, it always happens so fast when we argue a little bit, so you can get on with it.

Oh, dear. This is unexpected. I've always talked about Gerald's brother in front of me, so I thought he was just going to break his face into a disheveled mess when we were meeting.

Mr. Kassandra!

''Hmph. Since Mr. Gerald's princess is apparently in a bad mood, may I get to the point now?

Yes. I'd rather not go further than this, by all means.

　Nodding and nodding, Ms. Cassandra crossed her arms under her large breasts and leaned forward, getting up on her elbows on the table as it was.

　The s*xy gesture.

　The bust with plenty of destructive power.

　A decisive weapon against the opposite s*x equivalent to the bomb that lays waste to a man's reason.

　But the words Miss Kassandra said to me were more destructive to me than that weapon of war.

'I came to see you for one reason only.

"...what?

　Then.

　Me and Sierra's dumbfounded voices overlapped beautifully.
