When I heard the shocking news that Olga was getting married, I immediately guessed who Olga was going to marry.

During the second battle with the Demon Lord's army, one of the healing wizards who came to the rescue from another country, Mr. Sharn.

I had heard from Uluru that Olga and Sharun had been corresponding, and I knew that it was not strange that Olga and she were on good terms...... However.

 

"I mean, it's early, I don't think it's been a year since we met."

"That's right, but your brother and sister-in-law seem to be on the same wavelength."

 

From the intonation, I'm saying that this is not my sister, but my sister-in-law......, right?

Uluru walks briskly along the path leading to the rescue team, and I ask her a series of questions.

 

"Are you in the clinic yet?"

"Yes, he came a little before they came back. At that time, my brother was already soothing, and it was amazing."

 

I didn't expect the relationship to progress so quickly, but I'm glad to hear it.

As I was delighted with the unexpected celebration, a senior who was walking next to me spoke to Uluru.

 

"Well, when did Uluru find out about it? That person is coming to the Lingle Kingdom."

"Is it a little before Suzune and Usato-kun go to the festival? I had no idea that the relationship had progressed so much, so I was surprised."

 

I wonder if the story itself was put together in various correspondences.

The reason we didn't know was probably because the timing wasn't right.

Perhaps remembering that time, I saw Uluru smiling wryly, and Amako looked up at me and spoke to me.

 

"There's a lot of buzz in the city, and the clinic is used by a lot of people, so Olga wants to have a good person."

"I think that's an exaggeration...... Aha."

 

Uluru smiles wryly at Amako's words.

 

"But Uluru won't force herself to move into the dormitory, will she?"

"Huh? Is Suzune opposed to me living in the dormitory?"

"No? There will be more cooking duties, and I would rather welcome ???."

"Hehe, I wish I did."

 

Uluru looks a little anxious about her seniors who answer immediately, but she smiles.

 

「…… Is it your turn to cook? Alec is the main one doing this. We do a lot of things like washing dishes and cutting food and helping out."

"He's a good cook, isn't he?"

 

Uluru answers her seniors' questions.

 

"Yes, I heard that I ran into the leader of the group when I quit due to various things at my previous job."

"It's easy to imagine the scene where you were tormented just like me......

 

In terms of being taken to the rescue team, trained in hell, and prepared to die, I think it's probably not that different from when you encounter a dangerous carnivore.

 

"Ahaha...... Well, there was room in the clinic where I live now, and I could have stayed there."

"But you're moving to the dormitory, aren't you?"

"Yes, I know that my brother and sister-in-law don't bother me. But when I look at the two of them, I have something to think about...... I think it's about time."

 

About time?

I wonder about Uluru's words.

 

"I have to leave my brother...... That's what I mean."

"Brother, are you?"

 

I muttered to myself repeatedly, and Uluru nodded.

 

"Your brother can't do without me...... I don't think so...... Oh, yes, I thought it was normal."

"I was thinking......

"Because he's a pretty lazy guy, and he's an older brother who can't take his eyes off of himself for later."

 

Keep an eye on it, huh?

For some reason, it bothered me that Senpai and Amako looked at me almost at the same time and nodded silently, but I guess Uluru was worried about Olga all along.

 

"But for some reason, I realized that I was also spoiled by my brother when I saw my brother with my sister-in-law."

"So in the dormitory?"

"yes, and I thought I'd try something I hadn't been able to do before."

 

Uluru turns around and looks at me.

 

"When I followed Usato-kun to see the Demon Lord's Realm, I saw a lot of things that I didn't know before, and that's when I realized that I was living in a smaller world than I thought."

"It means that going to the Demon King Territory was not in vain."

"Yes!"

 

As for me, it was very helpful that Uluru came with me to the Demon Lord's Domain, and above all, I was relieved to see Uluru getting to know the people of the Demon Tribe.

 

"I decided to walk on my own legs and try different things, and as a first step, I decided to move to the emergency shelter!"

 

Until now, Uluru has been working at the clinic with Olga, but now that Olga will have Sharn, she will be able to try other things other than her work at the clinic.

 

"And ...... Right. There are other reasons why I moved to ...... dormitory."

"Hmm?"

 

Uluru turns away from her previous brightness and smiles with a shadowy smile.

 

"Frankly, it's awkward, it's really awkward."

"Uh, yes......."

 

Turning from a calm appearance, Uluru, who has become serious, begins to tremble as it is.

 

"Because, from my side, it's my sister who stays at the newlyweds' house! It also interferes with the time we spend alone, and that's why it's most heartfelt to be cared for by ...... brothers. Or rather, no! What if the relationship between the two of you deteriorates because I sit like a little mother-in-law? I can't stand that anymore......!!"

"Well, it's desperate ......."

"I feel like I'm overthinking it...... but"

 

Uluru's words, which were a little urgent, made Senpai and Amako pull back a little.

But I guess that's how much Uluru is rooting for the relationship between Olga and Sharn.

After arriving at the emergency rescue team dormitory and delivering Uluru's luggage, the three of us, myself, Amako, and my seniors, decided to move to Nagi.

It was almost dusk, but she seemed to be still training, and she immediately noticed us and greeted us as she wielded her sword in the woods surrounded by trees.

 

"Usato, Suzune, welcome back."

"I'm back now, Nagi-san, and Hina too."

 

Nagi's hands, which have come up to me with her sword, take my hands so that they move independently of her will.

I understand that it belongs to Nagi's other personality, Hina, so I squeeze her hand lightly.

 

"Don't move your body without permission...... Well, it can't be helped. Amako came too."

"yes, I was wondering what happened to Calmherio too."

 

I need to tell Nagi about Shea and Mio.

I'm sure she's interested, and I want to share the information as soon as possible.

 

「…… I know he got involved in the commotion in Kamherio, but it looks like there was something else."

"yes, is it okay to talk here?"

"Okay, let's sit down and talk."

 

Nagi invites me to sit on a row of stumps nearby.

After the four of us sat there, I immediately explained in detail what I had found out about Shea.

 

"——— is not Hisago himself, is he?"

"I think that's for sure, as far as I can ascertain, she has two personalities: one called Shea, who was called a witch, and one who was a village girl, Mio."

 

I nodded at my senior's words.

Nagi also squeezes his crossed arms with a bitter expression.

 

"Same as us...... I guess it's different. When I say fusion, me and Hina are like souls together, but I think Shea and Mio are in a state where their souls are mixed."

"Is it like the demon I fought, Envar, fused with Lanzas?"

"I haven't seen the devil, but I think it's close to what I've heard."

 

He used magic to revive Mio's soul, which had lost her life when she was a village girl, and fused it with her own soul to keep her sanity...... That should have been the idea of Falga-sama and the Demon King.

 

"At the end of the day, I guess you have to know who Shea is."

"That's right."

"If there's one question I'm wondering right now...... The fact that she acted like she knew me when we first encountered her."

 

I only vaguely remember that conversation, but when I think about it, it's unnatural.

Amako is stunned by Nagi's words.

 

"Oh, it's strange that you know about a kannagi that lived hundreds of years ago."

"Well, that sounds like I'm going to live a very long life...... Well you're right. At least I've never met anyone like Shea."

"There are two guesses about that."

"Suzune?"

 

The senior mutters, "First guess," and raises his index finger.

 

"Shea Garmio has the memory of the brave Hisago, which is Usato-kun is Shea...... No, in hindsight, I guess I heard it from Mio herself, right?"

"Yes, exactly."

 

At the request of the Demon Lord, he heard the story from Sia, whom he encountered when he stepped into a poisonous realm.

 

"I knew you simply because I was reading your memories."

「…… That's for sure. …… So, Suzune, what's your other guess?"

 

Nagi put his hand on his chin and showed a pretense of satisfaction, and the senior held up another finger.

 

"This one goes a lot deeper, but the guess is that Shea was close to the previous hero, Hisago."

「…… Huh?"

 

Perhaps it was an unexpected word for Nagi, but a stunned voice leaked out.

 

"If I were to extract the memory from him as he passed away, I would have witnessed his death, which has left almost no trace for posterity to this day...... Because I can think of it. If you're going to put yourself in that position, there's a good chance you'll have a good relationship with him."

「…… What should I do, it's so complicated......

"Well, well, it's going to be complicated from your point of view......

 

It's like a stranger suddenly appearing in the person who took ...... father's place.

I don't know how to react as Nagi.

 

"Well, that old man wouldn't be surprised at all if he helped a child who had no relatives...... But then, the first one was jealousy instead of hostility? It's too complicated either way......"

"So you might have had a sister-in-law who wasn't related by blood."

"Amako!? Don't make the story more complicated!?"

 

Amako smiled at Nagi, who was teary-eyed and stunned, and continued to speak.

 

"You like to have more sisters without restraint, Kannagi."

"It's your mother who recognized me as her daughter!"

 

Come to think of it, Amako's mother, Kanoko, accepted Nagi as if she were her daughter.

Thinking about it, will Amako end up like Nagi's sister-in-law?

I smiled wryly at Nagi, who was writhing with his head in his hands, and I thought I'd tell him about another concern I wanted to convey.

 

"Nagi-san, she doesn't have just two personalities, Shea and Mio. Maybe I'm too worried, but she's ...... I think there's still something to be done."

"I guess there's really something about you feeling that way......

 

Nagi sighed heavily and shrugged his shoulders.

Now that I've been able to tell you most of what I need to talk about in a hurry, I think it's time to go back to the emergency shelter.

 

"The training time is about to end, let's go back to the dormitory, I'm going to report to the leader, and above all, today is a welcome party for Nak's sister...... I think there will be something like that."

"What, Nak's sister? Is his sister here?"

"Yes, it seems that you will be staying there for a while, so please join us Nagi-san."

"Oh, yes, I know."

 

I stood up and walked down the path that led from the forested training ground to the lifeguard quarters.

I have a lot of work to do since I got back, but I ...... finally able to go report to Rose.

It's hard to tell if Shea is going to be like a sister-in-law to Kannagi that she doesn't know.

 

That's all for this update.
