Love Emergency

“It will still take a while for master to arrive. Until then, I can show you around.”

“……No, please let me think on my own for a while. Thank you very much, Nanaki-sama.”

“If you have anything you need, please say it.”

bye then~

With a bow, I left. Nanaki has showed her Nanaki’s intent and also returned the debt. Compared to the huge debt of renouncing her engagement, what I have returned may just be a trifling thing, but acting anymore familiar would taint both our prides. In the first place, it is something that she, Shiel Mercury, started. Until master makes a decision, I will leave her alone in this capital. After that I’m not holding back anymore.

war is coming~

“……you’ve changed, Nanaki. I thought you were gong to kill her.”

“I guess, if she had no pride then she would have lost her head already.”

…

Moving slightly away from Shiel Mercury who stood alone, I joined up with Envy who had been watching over the course of events. The first thing she pointed out was Nanaki’s change. Yes, Nanaki of the past would have killed enemies immediately. Fundamentally, that still hasn’t changed, and I do not plan to change in the future.

special circ.u.mstaces

It’s just that, I feel slightly different about her, that’s all.

still the sanme Nanaki

“Please look, Envy. She is unsightly right?”

“……yeah, even if I wanted to, I can’t defend her.”

“A baggy fat body, a face like a pig……with that appearance, nothing shines about her at all.”

sweat?

A figure that cannot be anymore unhealthy. Bluntly speaking, she can be said to be horribly defective as a human. Without even the stamina to move properly, the amount she eats is many times that of others. The stink that this culmination of obesity is not something humans should be releasing. To Nanaki who has a good nose, that is a weapon.

secret weapon

She is the very embodiment of the result of sloth that Nanaki hates.

polar opposites

“——despite that.”

but

Despite that. Shiel Mercury is the woman that makes me continue on like that. In contrast to that ugly appearance, the things she carries in her heart certainly shines. Nanaki has thought multiple time that she was beautiful. Many times. That is enough reason, no other reason is needed.

to save her

“Because I thought she is beautiful, because I thought she is the real thing.”

“So you won’t kill her? That Nanaki won’t, huh…….”

“Strange, is what your expression is saying.”

“I know you value pride. But more than that, Nanaki kills enemies. Kills too much.”

difference

It’s a very simple thing, Envy.

just beauty

“There are things that Envy thinks are beautiful right?”

“There are a lot.”

“If it was a place then you would want to go again, if it was a thing you would like to display it somewhere right?”

“……I see, you certainly wouldn’t want to destroy it.”

“I am also human, Envy. There are times I feel things are precious.”

that’s it

Because it’s beautiful, and because it’s really lovely. That’s why I felt it would be a shame to destroy it. Even if she is a threat to myself, because the radiance of her pride is the real thing, it is precious. It’s nothing special, Nanaki simply likes her beauty.

good person

“…….what is it?”

Envy?

When I looked, Envy was smiling. Her beautiful red hair waved. Nanaki did not avert Nanaki’s eyes from those ruby eyes. Look at me more, praise me more. I don’t know why, but the mood feels like I can get praised. It just felt like that.

…..

“No, it’s nothing. Just that……Nanaki might have been blessed with a good encounter after leaving the capital.”

“Certainly I have had the best encounter, but if Envy says so, then I can be proud of it.”

“Even without me saying it you are always full of confidence.”

yep

Correct. As expected of Nanaki’s sister, she understands Nanaki’s thoughts well.

sasuga

“But hmm, I see. Just teaching you wasn’t correct, huh. I guess there are things you learn on your own along the way…….”

“Because I am a genius?”

“Haha, idiot.”

nope

When I tried teasing Envy who was muttering softly while looking up at the sky, I was called an idiot. Yes, this is fine. If Envy laughs when making fun of Nanaki, then she can make fun of Nanaki as much as she likes. I don’t know what Envy thinks about Nanaki’s growth.

lonely?

But Nanaki can say that Nanaki is grateful towards her.

arigato~

“I am grateful to you, Envy.”

“I know.”

still good to say it

Nanaki likes that warm smile. Flames do not only burn, they also provide warmth. I swore to treasure this sister I have a large debt to.

best onee-sama

“Silver.”

“Silver huh.”

Suddenly feeling the signs of that mana approaching, we spoke at the same time. The next instant the blond blue-eyes man descended from the sky, his dignified and majestic looks are extremely popular among the women of the capital. Well, he certainly has good looks, but Nanaki doesn’t really like it. A slightly more relaxed look is better.

silver is stiff

“Envy, where did you go!?”

“Just out for a bit. What, did something happen?”

“That maid was about to kill the emperor!”

“iih!?”

O.o

Good afternanaki to Envy who turned her head with a very creaky movement to look at Nanaki. Still, how long will this man keep making a fuss about that trivial argument from before. As the leader of the Five Emperors, how about showing a little more dignity?

impossible

“Si, Silver, do you have stomach medicine……? Owow……”

“I drank it all!”

rip

It seems they are having troubles, should I encourage them, Friend? What? Not necessary? You really are cold. Hm? Eh, Nanaki’s fault? Why.

nah, it’s fine

“Right now, more importantly than stomach medicine is Leon. With our manpower split up by this maid, only Raicou is pursuing him. You go too!”

“Aah……about that, Silver.”

“Hmph, you are probably just spoiling Nanaki again, but there’s no time. I will compromise on most things, just say it already!”

“Lucky. Give permission for that woman over there to stay in the capital.”

“Woman……?”

yes

The sister of Nanaki’s heart followed through on Nanaki’s request thoroughly. What kindness, I really must treasure this sister. It would be nice if I can return this debt one day, but there aren’t many opportunities. Because this sister can do anything on her own.

too independent

When Silver turned his head in the direction that Envy pointed, there was the figure of Shiel Mercury lost in thought alone. Shiel Mercury’s slovenly body was reflected in the eyes of the Sword Emperor that recognises, protects and approves of the ways of this final destination of talent.

opposites

No matter how beautiful her heart is, her appearance enters people’s eyes before they see that. Understanding the true nature of someone is not an easy thing to do. That appearance really is a large weakness for Shiel Mercury. If asked if Silver will give permission after seeing this, it should be safe to say that it would be difficult.

guess so

But, as I have guaranteed her stay in this capital on Nanaki’s name, if Silver doesn’t nod here, there is no choice but to use force. She is this Nanaki’s guest, it is my duty to keep my promise.

Silver?

“Who’s that woman.”

“Aah……erm……Nanaki’s friend? seems like……..”

Envy pls

Silver reaction is mostly as predicted. So Envy responding awkwardly is also logical. I have caused the sister of my heart anxiety, I will deeply reflect upon this. I have relied on her quite a lot again, I thanked her in my mind. Thank you Envy.

arigato~

“Oi Nanaki, what’s that woman’s name?”

ask her yourself

Mu.

mumumu

“Shiel Mercury.”

“I will give her permission. Let’s go Envy, for now, Leon.”

O.o

I looked up at the sky, it doesn’t look like it’s going to be raining spears. This unexpected incident left both Nanaki and Envy staring at each other silently for a while. What kind of change has come to him who bases his thinking on talent. And also, the cause of that change.

I have a questionanaki for that hatefully composed face.

answer it

“…….Shiel Mercury”

what about her?

I heard a small mutter. As I looked, Silver was once again staring at her.

hm?

“…….beautiful”

……………

…………………………….hm?

end

Hecate got caught up reading again.

Also seems like I will be more busy than I expected……..or will I? Will still try to catch up to author within June though.

and Silver…………..?
