LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 60. Dia Lecki (2)
“Anyway, as an older sister! And I’ll decide as a knight!”
.... Isn't it a bit strange for a knight to give orders to a lord? My murmur was lightly ignored.
Is it only when it's like this that it's a sister's privilege?
“Arel is prohibited from magic for the time being.”
It was like a disaster for me.
“It is forbidden to accept Diado Arell's fooling around!”
Dia was also taken aback.
But why is he surprised?
“Am I fired?”
His shoulders tremble slightly as if he suddenly felt the danger of his livelihood.
I know why you're so scared.
A wizard hired by the manor fails to complete the contract period and is fired midway through.
If they are kicked out without any particular reason, it becomes a great stain on the magician.
Especially in the aristocratic society, rumors spread faster than anywhere else.
Because of this kind of stain, he would become a wizard who was devoured in one fell swoop.
“Ah no... that's not it...
Dia's sincere moaning caused Kania's sister's momentum to weaken.
No matter how much I don't like my lifestyle, I can't be so mean that I'm going to fire the wizard I hired.
And even if the worst happens, then I will sincerely stop you.
Anyway, I never thought they would point out my lifestyle so
seriously
.
It is true that I gradually started to depend on Dia because she was comfortable supporting my daily life with magic.
Magic tools can only produce certain effects, but Dia always followed me and actively took care of me.
At first.....
(Arel-sama. Can I bring out the book over there?)
(Yes. I'm not tall enough. Please ask me in moderation.)
It felt like he was helping me lightly like this.
It's been about a week since this
(Arel-sama. Can I move you to the bed as it is?)
(Yeah. It's annoying to walk, so please.)
I was eaten with this feeling.
The transfer has become myself at some point in the book.
.... when did this happen?
So naturally, Dia took care of me without showing any disapproval no matter how lazy I was, and at some point I was completely exhausted.
She has a knack for turning people into lazy people.
is this magic
‘It sure looks bad.' .... Now that I think about it seriously, is this really something someone else would raise an issue with?
Even a tolerable patient would not spend a life like this.
Anyone who sees it will know what a mess I am.
I had my eyes closed while sucking honey comfortably, but now I realized my current condition.
.... Magic is scary. No one else would have thought I would be so vigilant.
“If you depend on it too much, your body will suffer.”
I had nothing to say about my sister's point.
Of course, if I didn't lift a hand, my body wouldn't weaken like a normal human being.
However, the problem is that I have nothing to refute because the point that Kania is making right now is so common sense.
“If that’s the case, no problem.”
However, it was Dia who unexpectedly objected.
She slightly raised one hand and began to respond step by step to Kania's sister's point.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with her objection here.
Currently, my older sister is living here as a knight.
Besides, she's not the type to be particularly picky about class.
That's why Kania's sister was obediently listening to Dia's words.
“When I move Lady Arell with magic, I manipulate her magic and stimulate her muscles to some extent. So it cannot be easily weakened.”
hmm? Every time you lift me up with your magic, I get a strange tickling feeling, and that's why.
Before that, how delicate is mana control?
In the meantime, it seems that my skills have improved again.
“... I don't think that's the problem.” My sister put her arms on the table, rested her chin on it, and sighed.
“Arel is also an Allel, but Dia’s attitude seems to be a bit problematic. Isn't it nice to be too childish?”
“So, are you fired?”
“Don’t do that. But how about switching missions with another mage?”
Strangely, today's older sister only throws out extremely common sense opinions.
There was another 4th class wizard besides Dia, so it was okay to replace him.
There is little difference in terms of ability, so he must be able to handle the assistant job itself.
but.
“I refuse to do that.”
Dia, not me, rejected it all at once.
But this time Dia's voice clearly contained feelings of rejection.
I'm sure you'll say no to it.
I was surprised too.
“Compared to other wizards, I never think that I am lacking. So it is incomprehensible.”
It seemed that as a wizard, he had touched his pride.
If you change your job after receiving this kind of criticism, you may think that this is because of your lack of ability.
Should I say that there is also a feeling of being pampered for her?
He was like a child who complained because he didn't want to lose something.
Seeing this blatant refusal, Kania noona also opened her mouth small, and for a moment, it seemed like nothing came out.
“... Even though Kania-sama's suggestion is reckless, I think the opinion itself to change missions is reasonable enough.”
Eventually, Asha stepped in and helped.
Today, the people here are getting along well.
“Why are you insisting on belonging to Arell-sama so much?”
It's natural to say that you can't understand.
Whether it's my exclusive job or another department, the salary doesn't make much of a difference.
Wouldn't it be more comfortable to leave work in another department instead of pampering me?
Dia, however, was silent.
what?
What bothered me more than anything was seeing Dia's attitude now, and my sister's eyes narrowed.
“excuse me? You guys seem to have forgotten something, but I have the right to decide.”
Except for appointments, you must have my permission.
“However, we have doubts about whether Dia's behavior is correct as she is Arel-sama's exclusive.”
“You are doing well.”
“It's a flaw that it's too much... And it might be a bit problematic to say that it's good at it.”
If you make the owner rather lazy, that would definitely mean disqualification as an exclusive magician.
.... Is this my fault?
Is it because I'm lazy?
* * *
In the end, Kania noona stepped forward to test Dia's qualifications as my exclusive.
“If you convince me, I'll admit to working exclusively for Arell!”
Look, what kind of mother-in-law are you?
I thought it would be better to dry it, but I decided to watch it for now.
.... It's because I felt like it would be fun to watch.
“it's okay. Kania-sama is Arel-sama's sister. Of course I think you have the right to test me.”
Dia himself accepted it too coolly, and the board was formed to the point of futility.
.... If you want to watch it and think it's not zero, you should stop it.
“But what are you going to test it with?”
Before that, what qualities do exclusive mages need?
My sister also suddenly stopped working as if buffering had stopped, as if she had lost her idea there.
Did something come to mind after 5 seconds or so?
“That’s right! Head first! You have to be smart!”
“Is it the head?”
“Arel is a genius! Of course, you have to be as smart as you to assist Arel, right?”
He claimed so.
“Here is the paperwork that Arel needs to do.”
“...why do you bring it on your own?”
Even so, it was not a very important document, so I only complained and did not stop it.
“You just have to deal with this! Isn't it simple?”
Right now, seeing my older sister setting up a defeat flag from the start, I am speechless.
Why?
Who do you think has done most of my share of paperwork lately?
Don't you know that I'm leaving everything to Dia these days?
Before that, wizards are basically brainy.
Magic is all calculated and squeezed out in the head.
In the end, it was only after watching Dia process the paperwork in seconds in front of Kania's sister that she was at a loss for words.
What's next.
“Yes, cooking!”
... Does cooking with an exclusive wizard have anything to do with it?
Throw whatever you can now.
“Because Arell has a picky appetite. If it's exclusive, of course you should be able to match Arell.”
“Hearing that, it seems like I’ve become a bad guy who messes around with rice.”
.... well, actually I'm a picky eater, but usually I'll give you a solution.
To be honest, this time it had nothing to do with the wizard, so I thought I should stop it.
“No problem.”
Also, Dia accepted it coolly.
to refuse this
You can refuse an unreasonable order.
“it's okay. I did a lot of chores during my Mage Tower days, so I'm used to this.”
Dia casually went to the kitchen, asked the chef there for permission, and rented the kitchen.
And after a while, a plausible dish was served.
“Recently, I made it according to Arell’s taste.”
“.... It's delicious.”
The scary thing is that it really suits my appetite.
Could it be that you've been paying close attention to what I've been eating?
.... creepy in a different way?
By the way, the taste is there, so I was meekly admiring it, and my sister was silent again.
Before that, this had nothing to do with magic at all.
Of course, it tastes good... It doesn't matter.
“So you two. What are you thinking?”
After I called Asha and Seina separately, I started questioning them in earnest.
There was something I absolutely needed to hear about Kania's sister's actions during the day.
“No matter how much I think about it, I don't think Kania-nee will be uncomfortable with Dia for no reason.”
Even when I think about it, my sister's behavior today is somehow unnatural.
It was true that he was angry because he relied too much on magic, but it was obvious that he cared about something other than that.
Above all, the two female knights, who would normally have managed to stop their sister's violent behavior, did not stop it.
“It seems that Kania-sama is suspicious of Dia.”
“doubt?”
“You were at the report two days ago.”
“ah. that?”
The report from two days ago that Seina refers to is the evidence of someone breaking into the territory.
After the wizard was brought in, magic tools and wizards were equipped with a security system to some extent around the main facilities of the manor or the castle.
That's what traces of some damage were recently discovered.
Who knows, somehow managed not to touch the fatal trap.
However, it was caught in the barrier for detection.
The culprit is currently not caught.
“You really think Dia did it?”
That is nonsense.
Dia's alibi is perfect. which. I know her innocence better than anything else.
“We're assuming that's not the case.”
“There is something a little different than that that bothers me.”
Something else?
“Actually, I haven’t reported it yet.”
Asha looked a bit embarrassed and handed out something like a letter to me.
“What letter?”
“The intruder spilled it.
no. It would be more accurate to say that it was left behind.”
Are you even posting a mysterious document for trespassing?
When I read the contents of the letter, I couldn't help but be really dumbfounded.
