The name of the owner of the voice is Renette.

She is the well-known Jupiter's sister and a companion I once traveled with in the "other world".

''How did this happen?

What I mean by this is the beating by my sister Satsuki from the mounted position.

Moreover, it was my younger brother, Jupiter, who was being beaten up right in front of me.

However, Jupiter, who is supposed to be involved in this, just laughs weakly and shakes his head.

It's my fault for being so quick-talking. So please don't worry about me, young lady.

No!

No, he told me not to worry about it, but he said he couldn't go through with this situation indeed!

As Renette was cringing and bewildered by her brother's appearance, the fairy sisters (Harle and Fleur) flew in with a fluffy peek from inside Satsuki's hood.

''What! 'Fairy!'

It's a good thing that you're able to get the most out of this.

'My brother is convinced of that hierarchical relationship!

?

The hierarchy is very physically up and down, though.

"That's also ... the form of the eye. It's also... mutually... consensual.

"Love...

Excuse me, are we getting off on the wrong foot here?

However, Renette looked into Jupiter's eyes again, and gave a small laugh, ''Hmph,'' and turned her gaze to the sky in the distance.

''I see, I was surprised, though, onee-chan. Jupiter-chan, you've grown up........''

"The child grows up in the absence of parents.

Hey, are you listening to me?

My call is in vain, and Renette is nodding her head in some kind of understanding.

I'm not sure what's going on.

The first thing that comes to mind is that you have changed your mood quite a bit, Rennette-san.

When we were traveling together, he was kind of... crisp and cooler, like this.

'Nee-chan has always been like this, though................................muuuut.

Jupiter, who was still being ridden by Satsuki, answered our questions, but it seems that the real Renette is such a natural blonde lady.

The figure I had in my memory of how she was always tending to her bow while on the lookout for the best way to do it, is dissolving with a rattling sound.

"Well, if I got my sister's approval, then this is good........

I guess so.

So, while me and Elena were looking at the complicated form of love -........what?

...

Soooo, I get a heated look from Elena.

Err.........

You've been distracted by this mess, but you've put Elena's question on hold!

I hurriedly turned to her and coughed out a cough as I turned to her.

'Oh, you know what?!'

Yes, sir!

'The question I asked you earlier... it's not about my age. It's not about how old I am, it's about how much I care about Elena, and...

I plucked up the courage to give all my thoughts and feelings--

What are you guys doing...?

The brave Kanemitsu has appeared!

Ooooooh, what is this?

"Mu~~~.....

?

◇ ◇.

Eventually, the solemnized Jupiter was soon freed from Satsuki, and all of us were eating together in a wooden house near Yazmat Castle, talking about how we had traveled so far.

'I see, so you guys came by way of the western side of the Empire,'

By the way, the brave party seems to have come to Yazmat country through the route along the east coast, as expected.

But then, there is one thing that bothers me.

It's been a long time since they arrived here. What is going on here?

To get from the Holy King's Capital to the eastern port city of Port Vista through the Elven Forest, you can charter a carriage in the desert capital of Felspa, which is about three days' walk away, and from there it will take another two full days to go east.

If you change carriages from Port Vista and immediately head south, you will reach the country of Yazmat in ten days or so, passing through several settlements.

In other words, the brave party would have taken many times that amount of time to travel a road that could be crossed in less than twenty days if everything went smoothly.

We had a tornado ruckus in Felspa, but the pirate ruckus in Port Vista was the one that took the longest. I was supposed to help out the townspeople, but it was more difficult than I expected.

The brave party seems to be completely pushing forward on a 'route I don't know about'.

.........Well, since we are advancing on a journey that was originally meant to be taken by the brave party, it's only natural.

It's a good idea. I'm not only falling off the ship by accident, I'm also a prisoner of the enemy. I really didn't know what to expect~

We are all surprised, as expected, by what the wizard Sizha said!

Seeing her, Kunitoki, who was seated next to her, looked dumbfounded and dropped his shoulders.

''Totally, I'm really glad you're safe, that I am.......

That's how it started, though. Me too~

"Honk.

As if to interrupt Kunitoki and Shizuha's conversation, Renette gave one deliberate coughing fit.

Apparently, she took care not to derail the conversation by rushing into a noloque-talk.

'As I thought, your nee-chan is a solid man.

'Oh, yeah? I'm kind of happy about that.

I think she was really happy to be praised by her sister, and Jupiter smiled with the biggest smile of the day.
