Chapter 8 – A Certain Red-Haired Sister ①

And the next day. That night.

“Sister, isn’t it enough already? I’m not forcing myself or anything.”

“Are you sure you’re not overdoing it? Are you really not feeling any pain?”

“Well, if I were in Sister’s shoes, I’d probably do the same…”

After bathing, Karen sat down on the bed—and unprovokedly…

Her sister Lyfia, who has the same red hair and blue droopy eyes as Karen, held Karen’s bare feet and calves and moved them around. 

It was Karen’s second day back in town. Throughout those two days, she was being taken care of with a worried expression on her face. Lyfia, who had been helping her with stretches for years without missing a single day, was also there, doing her best to prevent Karen’s leg condition from worsening.

“But I’m really fine. So I don’t need Sister’s help anymore. Like I said yesterday, thank you.”

“Ah…”

Karen put strength into her legs, which had been unresisting, and Lyfia released her hands.

With a smile on her face, Karen clearly showed what she couldn’t do when she was disabled.

“I want to express my gratitude to that person again as soon as possible.”

Karen added…who then had a sullen face right after she said it.

“Seriously, despite dressing so conspicuously, why can’t we find any information that would lead to identifying him…? Even though we quickly gathered information when it looked like he was carrying and taking care of a small child…”

“He must be a really sweet person.”

“Y-Yes… But it pisses me off. I’m pretty sure he’s trying to keep people from finding out where he is.”

Karen wants to thank the man as soon as possible. Her frustration wells up from accumulating those feelings.

Moreover, her feelings overflow because she thinks like this,

“Hey, I wonder because he used the Legendary Elixir…he’s being reprimanded by his superior. It could be his sole decision at that time.”

“!!! W-Why do you think that?”

“You don’t have to worry, Sister. It’s easier for me if you speak your mind.”

Her reaction was a wide-eyed look with a hand over her mouth. Lyfia is not good at deceiving or lying, and Karen is convinced that she hasn’t said anything wrong.

They’re not just some aristocratic family. They are the Ducal family after all.

They are not a family of fools.

“To be honest, this is the normal way of thinking. If he belongs to the organization under the direct control of the Imperial Capital, there is no way that the Legendary Elixir is his personal property, and in the first place, there is no way that an individual can own more than one of these drugs. Furthermore, there is no way he would get permission to use three invaluable medicines…”

Realistically speaking, even if it had to be used, it would be only one.

Unlike when Karen was in captivity, she has a more relaxed mind, and now that she know who the man is, she can look at things objectively.

“That man really fooled me… The casual tone he used to get closer and even bringing out the Legendary Elixir with a nonchalant expression, it was all to make me believe it was his ‘personal possession’…”

“If he made it look like it was his personal possession, it would be easier to convince you to take the elixirs and make it harder to know who he really is.”

“…Hah… I hope they’re not giving him a heavy punishment…”

Karen sighed and muttered, but there was no guilt on her face—No, she was consciously trying not to feel guilty.

The man should have been prepared to accept any responsibility and he helped the girls while making sure they didn’t realize that.

Feeling remorse and blaming herself with a “It’s my fault…” would not show the utmost gratitude for the man’s goodwill.

“It’s unusual for Karen to say something like that.”

“S-Shut up…”

With a piercing gaze, Karen quickly retorted.

“He’s the one who came single-handedly to save us, so isn’t it fine if I hope he’s okay…”

“Fufu, I didn’t say there was anything wrong with it, did I?”

“M-Mou~!”

Karen blushed at the sudden teasing, probably to change the atmosphere, and puffed out her cheeks to cover her embarrassment.

On the other hand, Lyfia changed her expression to a gentle one and started to speak.

“Marie and Ruca both said it as well, that man must be a really kind guy. He put himself in harm’s way to help you, and he was prepared to be held accountable by his organization… I can’t thank him enough as your family.”

“Eh? Sister met them today?”

“Just for about an hour though.”

The names Lyfia mentioned…

Marie is Nina’s older sister and Ruka is Remy’s older sister.

Yes, they are the older sisters of the girls that man saved.

“That’s when I heard that Nina-chan and Remy-chan had a similar story.”

“Eh?”

“Wanting to thank him as soon as possible, wanting to meet him as soon as possible. It seems that they’re also thinking the same thing.” 

“Hmm… But well, I’m the one who thinks so the most.”

“Don’t get so worked up about it.” 

“It’s not like I’m worked up or anything…”

Because of their mature appearance, the three sisters have received numerous courtships, and are considered to be the most esteemed women in the world.

Lyfia Dior Aldi

Marie Quarrier Ansage

Ruca Traria Albrella

Even such women are able to read deeply into that man, and it is unlikely that there will be another person in the future who will be regarded as favorably as to be wanted to meet by these women.

The day of the reunion was slowly approaching.
