Chapter 27 – Exchange Between Older Sisters ①

“Argh~ So tired~”

The woman sitting in the chair, stretching and letting out a yawn was Marie Quarrier Ansage.

Dressed in her black and white nun’s uniform, she was lounging in the backyard of the Holy Church, but her time alone came to an abrupt end….

“—Slacking off like that again.”

“Ah, I know this voice, it’s Lyfy~ And I’m not slacking off, I’m on break~”

Marie, who, as she remarked, could tell who it was just by their voice, turned around and made a retort.

Standing there was Lyfia, who opened the door just a little and peeked in with half of her face.

“Long time no see. I don’t think I had a visit scheduled today.”

“You can’t get into the backyard unless you’ve followed the formal procedure, remember?”

“Ah you’re right. Ah, sorry, sorry. Anyway, you can sit there.”

“I’ll be sitting then. Thank you.”

Marie was not at all startled to be seen like this, because some people already know.

She only shows her true face to people she trusts.

“Speaking of which, Karen isn’t coming with you? Just Lyfy alone?”

“She’s talking to Nina-san, who was cleaning up around the outside.”

“I see.”

Marie instantly sensed something from just this conversation.

In private, she’s always sloppy, but she’s got a first-class sharpness.

“The fact that the two of you came to show up together means that the Duke family was able to thank that person successfully… To the Jet-black  person.”

“Yes. I just delivered a letter from Father to Marie’s parents. So now it’s your family’s turn.”

“Oh! Phew, finally!”

Marie smiled in amazement as Lyfia said the words Marie had been waiting for.

“Actually, my little sister Nina wants to see him, and she keeps annoying me every day. She really likes that Jet-black.”

“Fufu, it’s the same for Karen. It’s like she’s found someone else other than me to spoil her.”

“Hmm~ Karen-chan is always clinging to Lyfy~”

“She was even sitting on Sir Jet-Black’s lap. Even though she was warned that her butt would hurt, she kept sitting.”

“Heh…”

Marie, grinning and showing her white teeth as if she had heard something interesting, asked Lyfia something that had been bothering her.

“Hey, what is it about the Jet-black that attracts people so much?”

“Yes. That’s beyond words. He’s the nicest person I’ve ever met.”

“Really?”

“Marie will know as soon as she meets him.”

“…Interesting.”

Marie smiled at her best friend, not in a mischievous way, but in a way that conveyed that she really believed Lyfia, then Marie blurted out,

“Well, with such a high evaluation, our family should properly reward him.”

“Well, I wonder.”

“Eh? No? Then tell me as a reference.”

The Ansage family was still deciding what to reward the man. Information on what the Duke family gave him was very valuable.

If they match the scale of the Duke family’s reward, it wouldn’t be seen as rude.

“Don’t tell anyone, okay? If you tell anyone else, I’ll expose Marie’s secret.”

“I know.”

After completing the threat, Lyfia said,

“Sorry for the small voice, but… There were three things in total. A villa, money, and our family’s emblem.”

“…W-What?”

Marie was bewildered and had a “What did you just say?” expression on her face.

“Only that? Even though he used that precious elixir? Even if he said there was no need to reward him, that’s still too little…”

“I-I think so too, but… We didn’t have a choice.”

“Didn’t have a choice?”

“B-Because, instead of demanding a reward, Sir Jet-black didn’t even accept the reward we offered him.”

“I see…—Huh!?!?”

It was a natural reaction.

“He didn’t want any reward!? Even though he rescued three people by himself!? And he even used those Legendary Elixirs!?”

Doing something very kind and asking nothing in return… There is no such person.

“You must be joking…”

“……”

“……”

“…………”

In response to Marie’s words, Lyfia just put up a straight face and remained silent.

From the silent pressure, Marie understood.

“What? Are you serious?”

“Y-Yes, I-I’ve told you from the start. He’s…’The kindest I’ve ever met’…”

“If you’re going to be embarrassed about it, you shouldn’t have said it.”

This statement, delivered in a manner of convincing Marie, led to self-destructive consequences.

Lyfia, who has always been pressured by others, has no immunity from herself.

Her white cheeks had turned bright red and she couldn’t help but be embarrassed.
