56-056-Satsuki's courage

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait...

The situation is too much for her to think straight.

From now on, Satsuki makes the no-return choice of not being able to use her skills for the rest of her life. I decided to go ahead with my plan with a single word.

You can't joke about this, even though Satsuki is always reckless and reckless, this time it's not just a joke.

Did you read what I wrote on the stone tablet?　For the rest of your life, for the rest of your life!

Yeah, I read over it all.

You've read it carefully and are "so"!

"Ugh, how am I going to explain to my mom and dad...

In contrast to me, Satsuki seemed unconcerned with the situation.

It's not that I'm not a fan of it. And besides--

And...?

In response to my question, Satsuki smirked.

I don't want a fighting heroine, I want a heroine who can protect me!

I don't know!

"Yes, my brother is lacking in the romance component~. That's why you're mumbling even when you get into a good mood with Elena-san....... Let's see, the one who seems to be an ally among these people~.....................Oh, Krull-chan would understand!　Uranus will protect me.　Something like that!

'What?　Well, I'm a little bit bigger than happy or sorry, but hmmm....

Krull is also troubled by being asked for his consent all of a sudden.

Moreover, even the always dignified and handsome Uranus seems to be unable to keep up with the sudden situation, and doesn't move while remaining frozen with such a face (...д...).

Then Jupiter, who had been silent until now, looked a little dissatisfied and approached Satsuki.

Satsuki," she said. I don't have any skills yet, and I've been able to get by on my own with my bow skills. It's not a bad idea to ask for advice before you go over there!

Jupiter, who is always on Satsuki's ass, is screaming in protest with a swordsmanship I've never seen before.

Seeing that he was truly concerned about her, Satsuki gave a small smile and turned around and turned away.

''But, I heard that elves are extremely strong in magic, right?　Jupiter's lady was strong enough to be recruited to the hero's party, and I'm sure you have a bright future ahead of you. That's why I think it's a waste. When you think about it, I'm the least useful person in the group, and I know it. So it's the right thing to do. So.........it's okay. So, yeah, it's okay.

....

With her back to us, I patted Satsuki's little head while my heart was a little clogged up at the sight of my sister who was getting stronger while her voice was shaking.

........This guy was troubled in his own way, and he came to a conclusion.

It's just like who he is, he doesn't even whine, he just goes through the motions, which is really annoying for me as an older brother.

But...

'I don't know about the prince or anything, but until you find someone you're happy with, Nee-chan will help you. Don't worry.

When Satsuki said that, she turned her head to look at me again, rubbing her eyes and smiling happily.

And Fleur, who had been silently staring at Satsuki's appearance, nodded with an expressionless expression as if she had made up her mind about something.

''Sis.......can I have a moment?''

"I agree with Fleur without reservation.

When he said that, Harle and Fleur both flew together and flew fluffily in front of Satsuki.

''What's up?''

Your steadfast courage in risking your life for your fellow human beings is admirable. What you have done is honorable. A very... noble thing to do.

Huh?　Well, it's embarrassing to be told again. Ehehe~

The first thing you should do is to have the courage to make a decision," he said, scratching his head with a shy smile.

You should be rewarded for your courage and determination. Until your soul returns to heaven one day I will take over your lost power. As always I look forward to working with you.

!

They were all astonished by Fleur's declaration.

However, the parties involved are.....

Huh?　...What do you mean?

The way she tilted her head with a scowl on her face, Harl smacked Satsuki on the head and laughed.

You are able to forgive that kind of stupid behavior. I'm sure you're not the only one who's lost your power, but I'm sure Fleur will be able to help you from now on. It's a good idea to call yourself a fairy tamer from now on, isn't it?

Finally realizing the situation he was in, Satsuki exclaimed in surprise.

Then, with a look of admiration, she took Fleur's small hand and said the words she was thinking about now.

''By any chance, you're going to ask me to do some shopping for you instead of me?

That's ... do it yourself.

I'm sorry!

Don't you dare!

I mean, it's funny how you suddenly land on that idea!

However, some doubt seemed to occur to her at this point, and Satsuki tilted her head in the air.

'But it was Onii-chan who tried to reach out to the stone slab first, wasn't it?　Mr. Uranus stopped me, but why can't that thing work and I get a compliment?

"Kanata was all spur of the moment and lacked composure. Satsuki was calm and collected.

Guffaw.

It's true that I was in too much of a hurry to be calm at that time, but I'm going to be dented if I'm busted and cut off in one fell swoop.

Seeing me slumping my shoulders with a crunch, Satsuki smirks with a look of utter hatred on her face.

"Uhehe, Onii-chan. They say I'm a cool beauty!

No one told me that!

But I have to admit, there's one thing that bothers me too.

'....Hey Fleur. It's great that you're helping Satsuki, but we're going to live for decades. Wouldn't it be a burden for you to stay with us for that long?

In response to my question, Fleur tilts her head with a scowling face.

'So much........where?　Human life ... is short. Not at all ... not even close.

Spare time.....

'And if Fleur is going to be with Satsuki all the time, what is Harl going to do from now on? You were also planning to find a building to replace the temple, right?

"Of course I'll be there with you, of course!　I'm not even looking for a new house!

Haruru pulled away from Fleur's hand as she said this, and the sisters both spotted Satsuki's hood and peeked their heads out, as if they were used to it.

Satsuki, who had been watching them with a sideways glance, shouted with a sparkle in her eyes and a crisp look on her face as she held her hands up in a mysterious pose with her hands thrust upward at an angle.

''With the twin fairies in tow, Fairy Tamer Satsuki-chan, bomb!

"The Birth of a Child" has a nice ring to it.

Are you sure?

I'm not sure if this is the case or not, but they seem to be convinced, so I guess it's settled.

◇ ◇.

When the conversation had come to an end like that, Uranus, who had been frozen in a state of abandonment until now, hurriedly came to his senses and said a serious question about the matter of the Tower of the Gods.

''If what was written on the stone tablet is true, then the strength and duration of the warding fluctuates according to the magic power of the sorcerer... In other words, isn't the warding in this country right now a strength equivalent to the magic power your sister possessed?''

Ah!

Certainly Uranus is right.

Since the warding depends on the amount of magic power, it could be a very bad situation.

''Elena. Do you know how much magic power Satsuki had?

''I don't know all the details, but until now, I've been undefined (Novice) in my vocation. Probably very powerful enough to protect all of the Frost Kingdom...''

From the way he said it and the expression on his face, it's probably equal to almost no durability.

In the first place, if a person with strong magical power doesn't put up a ward, it's useless--ah!

That's it!

"Wha, Kanata-san, what's going on?

--A multi-level tower with numerous monsters.

--The fifth level, which can only be broken through with extremely good sword skills.

--And the sixth level, which "presupposes a sorcerer's sacrifice".

In order to reach the top level of the Tower of the Gods, an extremely high level of ability is required.

I'm not going to be able to get a good deal more than just a few hours of sleep.

Therefore, at first I thought this quest was just a fake race to get Uranus and the princess to marry.

But the reality is...!

"Fleur, hurry up and get back to Castle Frost!　Maybe we'll get to the bottom of it!
