"Boss, what are your orders today?"
"If you have any orders~"
After school, the idiot duo showed their hospitality in front of me
My brother has been away for four months...
In the past, they were told to follow their brother whenever they had something to do, to see if there were any more women around him.
But they are all in the academy. If they leave the academy with their tracking skills, their brother will definitely find out and kill them immediately.
"Nothing happens today"
"Oh! The boss's brother hasn't come back yet, meow?"
"It's been a long time since..."
He glanced at them sideways, and they immediately did not dare to say anything.
I didn't tell them what his brother was going to do, but they seemed to have guessed it themselves.
Although I firmly believe that nothing will happen to my brother, that's it.
"If you don't want to be ordered around by me, then leave the classroom within five minutes."
"Okay, meow! Ah! Of course I don't want to be summoned by the boss! I just have something urgent, meow!"
"I said so too!"
After saying that, the two live treasures left the classroom
Shaking my head, I packed up my things and left the classroom.
"Speaking of which... It's time for Sister Norn to finish class."
Although I don't like Sister Norn that much, we still need to have a good relationship on the surface
Recalling the location of Sister Norn's classroom, I walked towards it
As soon as I arrived at the classroom, I found sister Norn standing at the door, as well as two strangers.
Not strangers... I know those two people
Ariel. Anemoi. Asura and Luke. Notos. Greyrat
The princess and her knight?
Why? Because of sister Norn's last name Greyrat? Or something else?
Recalling my brother's attitude towards the nobles, I always feel that it is not a good thing for Sister Norn to have a relationship with them.
I observed for a while and found that Sister Norn was quite happy chatting with them.
"Eh..."
Forget it, it's better not to interfere in sister Norn's affairs. After all, I am the sister, why bother worrying so much?
With this idea, I left school
In the past, I would go back with my brother at this time, but now that my brother is not here, the return journey is so boring.
When I was passing by the market, I didn't have anything in my mind that I wanted to buy.
"Excuse me, how much does this cost?"
A somewhat familiar voice sounded in my ears
I turned around and saw a girl with black hair. She was selling kebabs at a small stall.
Because black hair is rare, I was deeply impressed.
I remember... it's called Nanahoshi?
She has a pretty face, a good figure, and she is a woman who gets along well with her brother.
Although I don't know what happened, my brother regards this woman as very important. He who rarely drank alcohol would go out for a big drink because of this woman, and even carry her back after drinking.
Well... go say hi.
Thinking like this, I walked over
And she had just finished paying, and our eyes met directly.
She hesitated a little
"Uh... ah... that..."
"It's Aisha, Aisha. Greyrat, we officially met today, Miss Nanahoshi"
"Yeah, I'm sorry I didn't say hello to you at your house before."
"It's okay"
silence
A bit of awkward silence
I really don't know what to say to her...
"Uh... do you want to eat skewers?"
"Well, thank you"
I took the kebab
I often ate skewers like this when I was an adventurer... I miss it a bit
"Your brother should be back soon."
"How could it be possible? The journey there takes half a year. Maybe we haven't arrived yet?"
"Well... he didn't say..."
"Huh? What did you say?"
"Nothing, haha..."
Looking at her awkward smile, I almost guessed it
It seems to be about the journey
Miss Nanahoshi is a little more nervous than I thought
We walked side by side, not knowing where to go
"How did Miss Nanahoshi know my brother?"
"It's just that we hit it off right away, and it just so happens that your brother is willing to help me."
"Help you? What's the matter?"
"Hmm... study teleportation array magic"
"Teleportation array..."
Based on what she said before, it was probably Miss Nanahoshi who gave her brother the landmark of the teleportation formation, or she herself used this magic to teleport her brother a long distance?
Well...
"Can I help you?"
"Really!? You do?"
"After all, she is my brother's friend. Miss Nanahoshi should be my only friend."
"Ah... after all, that guy's character... uh... haha, but it's great that you are willing to help me. Do you need any reward? But first of all, all I can give is money."
What's wrong with my brother's personality? Isn't it very good?
Although I refuted this in my heart, I can also understand what Miss Nanahoshi said, because my brother's arrogance towards strangers is not fake, especially Demon Race and the nobles
"No need for any reward"
"Oh! You two brothers and sisters really look alike. Then come to this address tomorrow after school."
Miss Nanahoshi gave me a note with the address of her laboratory written on it.
"Well, I will come as promised."
"Yeah, see you tomorrow then"
"See you tomorrow"
The next day
In the lab, I'm a little tired
This kind of magic output is really too much for people to bear.
"Thank you for your hard work, let's stop here?"
"Well..."
"But it's really amazing... Can sister Aisha actually have such a magic power reserve?"
"Maybe it's because I learned magic from my brother since I was a child."
"Oh~ It's possible to increase your magic power reserve by using magic from a young age..."
Miss Nanahoshi is talking to herself
I turned around and looked around at her messy laboratory
Does my brother have to output so much magic power every day?...
But after confirming it this way, I feel that it is completely impossible for Ms. Nanahoshi and her brother to be lovers.
Although they get along very well
"Aisha Sister, do you want to go to dinner together? Are you an adult? Can you drink?"
"Not yet an adult"
"Then let's go have dinner together? Of course, I'll treat you!"
"Well, let's go together then"
In the restaurant, Miss Nanahoshi gossiped about her brother's love affair
Although she did not object to her brother marrying two wives, she was not that supportive either.
"By the way, can you show me the experimental drawings of Ms. Nanahoshi's magic array?"
"Huh? Of course"
I took her drawing and looked at it for a while
Although I don't know that much about the teleportation magic circle... but there is probably something wrong with this drawing.
This is intuition. This problem may be the reason why Miss Nanahoshi failed.
Well... this teleportation magic circle looks very exquisite and has no problems, but...
Is it symmetry? Although perfect symmetry can make the magic circle stable, Miss Nanahoshi takes it for granted. The so-called magic circle should be [link]
I don't know how to describe it, but the magic circle is one after another. Miss Nanahoshi's magic circle can be activated, but it will not have any effect.
Why didn't my brother notice it? My brother must have seen it too...
Hmm... It's most likely because my brother doesn't even need to chant when using magic, let alone using a slower activation method like a magic circle.
Yes, I saw my brother reading a book about magic circles before. He must have started to do it after helping Miss Nanahoshi.
"Miss Nanahoshi"
"Huh?"
"This magic circle of yours may be a bit too taken for granted."
"Hmm? Let me know if you have any questions!"
"First..."
I explained my thoughts clearly to Ms. Nanahoshi, but she didn't suddenly realize or understand anything.
She seemed to understand from the beginning that the magic circle came from [link]
"Hmm... Actually, I understand, after all, I have been studying it for so long, but if you just connect them like a circuit board, there will always be a place where you can't connect."
"Circuit board...? Let's not talk about this first. When Miss Nanahoshi said that it cannot be connected, what does it mean that there is something wrong?"
"Well... let me give you an example. This table should only be able to hold half of my research drawings... Anyway..."
Ms. Nanahoshi placed the drawings on the table and explained to me the principles of these magic circle links.
"That's right... so the magic circle can't be activated because it can't be connected here, right?"
"Yeah"
"What if this is the case?..."
We discussed it in the restaurant for a long time until night fell completely
I remembered that Ms. Nanahoshi didn't seem to be able to instill magic. She was definitely not a magician, and she didn't have a sword. It was still too dangerous to walk alone at night, so I simply took her home.
Speaking of which, this is the first time she has come to our house at night without being drunk.
"Aisha sister!"
She suddenly hugged my left hand with both hands
"Huh?"
"Are you interested in studying teleportation magic with me?! You are a true genius!"
"Uh... I'll go to the lab to help when I have time, is that okay?"
"Of course! I will pay your salary. Believe me, the salary will definitely be a hundred times better than that of your brother as a teacher."
"Miss Nanahoshi... you are so excited..."
"How can I not be excited now! Your theory is so possible! As long as there is some progress in the experiment tomorrow, I will be more likely to go back..."
Exploring personal privacy is not my interest, not to mention that Ms. Nanahoshi was obviously very disappointed in the end.
Huh?
My brother goes to the laboratory every day
If I go to help every day, can I be alone with my brother every day? Of course, not counting Miss Nanahoshi...
"Brother, will he come to your laboratory every day in the future?"
"Probably, he will come to help me when he is free. Occasionally, will he come when he sends his sister home?"
"I am very willing to help you, Miss Nanahoshi, as long as my brother is here, I will come."
"Oh! Don't worry, I'll lock him in the lab when he comes back!"
"That's not necessary..."
In this way, Miss Nanahoshi and I have completely gotten to know each other.
