(269) 【Interlude】 Laughing Daijiro
Translator: Tseirp
At the same time Neete stole Ichinojo’s lips .
Inside the flying ship, Miri sensed something changed .
And it seemed that Daijiro felt it too .
“The Salamander revived and was subsequently consumed by the Phoenix – – with that, G.o.ddess Setolance’s power will become even greater … huh . ”
Daijiro said as she opened the window of the flying ship . Due to the difference in pressure, the air was sucked out fiercely from within . The hat she had on flew out of the room .
The wind didn’t faze her as she pointed her muzzle outside the window and pulled the trigger .
There was a flash of light and the ring of a gunshot but that was all . She usually only had blank rounds in her pistol . The reason was unknown, perhaps she was afraid Miri would s.n.a.t.c.h her gun and shoot her with it, or she used it as a warning, or she was cautious of the idiot couple Jofre and Elize playing with it and firing it accidentally .
Maybe it was so that she could play around with it when she felt like it such as now .
“You look like you are enjoying yourself, Daijiro . ”
Miri said and closed the window .
The wind was getting irritating .
Daijiro shook her head side to side in an exaggerated manner in response to Miri’s words .
“No way – – I am sad because I didn’t have the chance to use the secret weapon I prepared to defeat the Salamander . What about you, Miri-chan? You made the effort to ask me to fly to the Princ.i.p.ality of Nickplan but it has all gone to waste . ”
“It wasn’t a waste . Onii was able to deal with it because of my warning . ”
Miri said before turning away .
Ignoring Miri’s gesture that she found talking troublesome, Daijiro asked with narrowed eyes .
“ … Miri-chan, do you believe your Onii-san defeated the Salamander?”
“It is up to me what I want to believe . ”
“That’s correct . But I find myself wondering perhaps he actually did . In addition, he created a strange dimension on his own . Miri-chan, just who is your Onii-san?”
“Onii has nothing to do with you . Have you forgotten? I followed you obediently on the condition that you won’t touch Onii . ”
Miri scowled .
The white bracelets that sealed her magical power began creaking and groaning, as they started vibrating little by little .
“Scary scary, all right, I won’t ask about your Onii-san . ”
Daijiro smiled wryly as she flapped her hands .
Miri couldn’t stomach the complacent look on her face .
She gave off the air that perhaps she asked despite already knowing everything .
And yet, it also felt as though she actually didn’t know anything so that made it even more infuriating .
“And so, what did you come here to do exactly?”
“Oh right, I was angry that Salamander was defeated so I came to invite you to dispel the seal on Gnome and defeat it with me but I lost the drive to do that now so I came thinking to borrow some manga . In my case, although I have lived in this world longer, I still find myself to be more j.a.panese whenever I read the j.a.panese language . ”
“If that is the case then I have light novels too? What about reading those? There would be a ton of j.a.panese words . ”
“Ahaha, I’ll do that next time . ”
Daijiro replied before choosing on her own accord about three young female genre manga from the bookcase in Miri’s room .
They were all brother love manga .
“I heard from a boy that boys with actual younger sisters don’t really read many novels on cute younger sisters . They don’t want to hold pointless fantasies on younger sisters after knowing actual younger sisters but what does Miri-chan think?”
“Daijiro doesn’t have an older brother?”
“I didn’t . I had one younger brother but he was a spoiled child so I worry if he cries because I’m no longer there . ”
“Don’t worry . After all, the people on that side do not remember the people who transfer to this Otherworld . ”
“I know . Ah, that saddens me as an older sister . ”
Daijiro sobbed unnaturally but Miri did not say anything to her .
Even though she was making fun, Miri did, in fact, feel that it was saddening if family does not remember you .
“ … I would be happy if I had an older brother . Although it would be tiring as well . ”
“I see – -”
Irritated by the grinning Daijiro, Miri stuffed a French bread she took out from her alternate s.p.a.ce into Daijiro’s mouth .
Daijiro happily tore into the French bread and used the remaining half to tap her shoulder .
“Thank you for the bread . Tonight, I’ll make a soup that goes well with French bread . ”
“Hmph – – so, where will we fly toward now?”
“Ah, I didn’t tell you . ”
Daijiro grinned and held the French bread like a mike .
“Attention please . Everyone, thank you for enduring the long journey . This plane will soon arrive at Mallegory airport in 30 minutes . The air at the destination is cloudy and the temperature is at 28 degrees Celcius . Please fasten your seatbelts in your seats when the seatbelt sign is on . ”
“There aren’t any seatbelts in this room . ”
Daijiro simply ignored Miri’s quip and left the room .
Then, the flying ship they were on landed in an open square in the city of Mallegory after 30 minutes plus a seven-minute delay .
