Ch.69 Let Me Explain My Misunderstanding That's Making You Misunderstand.

Vester's POV

"Sca, scary..."

"N-no, that's not true. It's not that I'm scared of Mimia-san."

I'm trying to explain my situation to Mimia-san, who was standing against a dark background that looked like it would be accompanied by a loud sound effect.

"...You're not scared of me...?"

"No, that's not it. I felt scared for a different reason. Let me explain, for example, let's say you have some dirt on your shoulder. In order to remove it, you first have to look at your shoulder, right?"

"...Yes."

"So when you try to look at your shoulder, can you see it just by moving your head?"

"I can see it."

"Ahh, can you see it without moving your eyes?"

"If it's on the edge of the shoulder..."

"That's it. First, when you try to look at me on your shoulder, you have to move your eyes. When you look down at me with that sidelong glance, I feel a little scared."

"Are you afraid of the way you're looked at? If so, should I not look at you while you're on my shoulder?"

"I just feel a little scared, but it's fine if you look at me. I just blurted out what I was thinking in my heart. I'm sorry if I hurt you."

I fly over and bow in front of Mimia-san.

"So that's why... I'm glad. She doesn't seem to hate me."

"Huh? What?"

The part after "So that's why" was too quiet and I couldn't hear it.

What did she say?

"I said I don't mind. It's fine, I'm not hurt. I'm sorry for misunderstanding you."

"Well, it's my fault for making you misunderstand..."

It looks like things are about to turn into an apology battle. We have to settle this before it gets too complicated.

"Well, making up is a weird way of putting it, but now we've made up."

I quickly hold out my right hand.

She froze for a moment when she saw my hand in front of her, then she smiled softly and took my small hand in her thumb and index finger.

"Yes, we've made up."

We shake our hands gently up and down and release them.

This is the end. No misunderstandings or being misunderstood.

"Since we've made up, would you like to sit here again?"

"No, I want to move my wings now, I'll stop that here."

Moving my wings is just as natural as moving my head or limbs.

You know, if you don't move your arms for a long time, don't you start to feel a bit itchy? You want to move them.

The same goes for my wings: if I don't flap them from time to time, I'll want to move them.

It'd be fine if I flap them while sitting on her shoulder, but I thought it might be time to start moving on my own.

"I understand. You can ride me any time you like, okay?" (TL: uhh...)

She had wanted a younger sister, so she must have some admiration of being an older sister.

The title ties to my existence made her heart dance. Her emotions were soaring.

That must be the reason for her excessive meddling.

However, Sakidori Midori-san warned her about it, and even now she's still holding it back.

In fact, I declined her offer to sit on her shoulder, but she endured it and just looked a little sad.

If it had been just 30 minutes ago, she wouldn't have gone so far as to throw a tantrum, but she would have had an invisible aura of dissatisfaction.

It's okay to say no. I don't think you can call someone family unless you have a relationship where you can say no to them without hesitation.

So it's fine to have a flat relationship. It's best to have a distance that feels like this is how sisters are. Not only was I a boy in my previous life, but I've never even had any siblings.

Well, I hope you'll do your best as an older sister from now on. I'll do my best as a younger sister too.

Since this is our first time, I don't know what we'll be trying to do, but let's do our best.

"Um, so what were we talking about?"

I speak back to Shuuto-san, who had asked me a question before.

I forgot about it during my conversation with Mimia-san, so please repeat it.

"Ahh, I said that Mimia and Vester-san are getting along."

"Oh, that's right, that's right. As you can see, the answer is that we do get along pretty well. Our titles prove our connection."

"Title?"

"Yes, we got a title called "We May Not be Related by Blood, But We are Sisters". Mimia-san and I have a sisterly relationship now."

"I'm the older sister and Vester-san is the younger sister."

"H-huh. I see."

"So that's what's written in the title...?"

"It seems like you can't get this title unless both parties truly believe it."

Shuuto-san and Kaito-san have questions floating in their minds.

It's like, what are they saying so suddenly?

This is also my first time learning that you can become sisters with someone in a game.

I don't think it was on any strategy sites either.

Actually, I just thought about it, but wouldn't it be okay to call me an older sister instead of a younger sister?

The title only says that it proves that we are sisters.

In terms of mental age and behavior, I think I'm more like an older sister, but in terms of physical age, Mimia-san is older.

Is it okay to be twins too? Or is that weird? Hmm? Is that weird? That's weird, huh.

After all, the one who first experienced the atmosphere of the world should be the older sister.

I don't care which one's older and which one's younger, so I'm fine as we are now, I guess.

"Are you done talking? Can we go now?"

Takemaru-san spoke up when the conversation came to a halt.

"It's okay" "We can go"

"Where will the celebrarion be?"

"The place is a bar."

As Sakidori Midori-san had predicted, the celebrarion party is going to be held at a bar.

The recommendations are meat dishes. In fact, there are almost only meat dishes.

That's why they are particular about the seasoning, and each dish is so delicious that you could say it has a different flavor.

I can feel my drool dripping, so I wipe it with my arm.

I feel someone looking at me, so I turn towards the direction of the gaze, and I see Sakidori Midori-san laughing.

Damn, she saw me. How embarrassing.

"Let's do it at the mage's guild close to here. The one I usually go to isn't safe."

Where is the guild that Takemaru-san is used to visiting?

I heard that he set explorer as his job, but that means something other than that. There's no bar in the Explorer's Guild.

It's just a place to make and receive requests.

Speaking of bars in bad neighborhoods... My guess is the guild for behind the scenes jobs.

"Well, let's go. I'm hungry."

"Yeah." "The meat is waiting." "Yes."

"I wonder what I should eat?"

"I'll eat steak after all."

We all head towards the Mage's Guild, each thinking of something we want to eat.

〘Mount Item: Magical Carriage〙

A carriage that can move on its own without being pulled by a horse.

It is also possible to add decorative horses made of iron or other materials.

It is a vehicle comparable to a car in the real world, but instead of running on gasoline or electricity, it is powered by pouring magical energy into it.

It can be used in cities, but is prohibited in towns and villages, where roads are narrow and there is a risk of hitting someone.

Feel free to use it outside.

Although, the unpaved road is bumpy and there is a risk of being targeted by monsters and demons.

If you can handle that, it's a great ride.
