Five days has gone by really fast when there is a lot of fun people with you.

Everyone was able to settle in naturally. Even I gradually was able to lessen my shyness towards them.

Albeit, some of them will randomly pat me on the head or hug me. That includes Lily and Edelweiss. 

Ah, the maid’s name is Priscilla-san by the way. She was so enraged about the state of the castle she forgot to name herself.

She lightly said “Oh my how rude of me” though when asked about her name.

From my observation, in the last five days, some people showed more of their disappointing or cool side.

For example, Ichirou, he wanted to train with swords because, you know, generic swordsman. But these events happened.

“Miss Lily! Please train me!”

Or

“Miss Lily! Please spar with me!”

Or

“Miss Lily! Please let me join your platoon for now!”

He was so obvious that Lily has complicated expression. Ichirou’s too motivated that it fired up the others about training with swords and other weapons.

Although Lily only uses a twig to fend him off and easily break off his stance.

Not even magic is used!

Mana became too comfortable saying “Vacation” and stuff.

Well, she was reading books in the library about weapons, though.

I wonder what is her weapon of interest?

By the way, when I visited the library, I go “Geho! Geho!” in short, a coughing fit. God bless Violetta, Priscilla heard my coughing fit inside the library.

What happened next was heartbreaking as Priscila-san told Violetta-san

“I will not let anyone enter this filth of a place for the next two days!”

And charged inside the library with the maid and servants squads she is currently retraining.

Milin however, kept me company as she cried senseless to Priscilla that she don’t want to get separated from me. 

Where is your pride as a head maid now?!

I really thought Dreg would be training with the other heroes in combat. But I saw him carrying books about enhancement magic and encyclopedia of this world’s species.

You won’t know how gentle he is because he looked so intimidating you know?

Shun the NEET brought many books from the library. I think it is about history, facts and logic of this world and then locked his self up.

What he will learn would be helpful for the group though so they let him do as he pleases for now.

Susanoo, as expected, is at another level than anyone else here. Since he was sleeping all day, Edelweiss drags him out and par with her.

Fast, insanely fast. His dead eyes became sharp.

For a moment there, I thought was so cool.

For a moment, about 3 seconds.

Edelweiss is fighting hand to hand with him, was pushed back. We are talking about experienced warrior Edelweiss here. But Edelweiss manage to throw him off and knock him out.

When he woke up, Edelweiss said

“Your abilities and skills are so magnificent! But you are fighting in the wrong field. You fought me head on when you specialize in stealth. Well, I am the one who dragged you here so I can't blame you for that.”

Susanoo wasn’t interested in her lectures so I think it passed through his ears. He came to train there now and then without being dragged out.

We soon learned that Susanoo can fall asleep at the speed of light.

Mito wants to learn magic, especially fire. Rose was also studying with him and kept teasing Mito on how diligent he is.

They will sometimes have sweet moments that it made us back off in the scene.

The twins, while Shouko is holding a bow in her hand, making the soldiers who use bow too, fall into despair because of her elegant and accurate skills in aiming.

Shouta in the other hand, wipe out the whole unit of soldiers with a pseudo –Nagi. You wouldn’t want to go near their room at night as you could hear lewd talk.

Kouta, an idiot, challenged Ruri in a duel where everyone was present. The result? While Kouta is a military soldier, he couldn’t land a hit on Ruri. No, he avoids the face.

What a gentleman, as long as your hands doesn’t always aim for the butt and chest. 

So Ruri dominated the fist fight with almost no damage except that one grab in the butt. The fight goes like this.

“Come at me Ruri! Let’s see how strong those punches you are so proud of!”

“F***ING C*NT! I WILL RIP YOUR D*CK SO HARD THAT YOU A**HOLE WILL BLOW! I WILL ALSO F***ING RIP YOUR----!”

Teacher Rose blocks my ears in a hurry so I really couldn’t hear much during the fight. She spewed profane words left and right like its natural.

She is an idol delinquent, though.

I also learned a secret. Not secret but confirmed my suspicion. Baccara was still a virgin and her daring outfit was only a cosplay.

She looks even more charming without makeup. She was studying magic theories diligently too.

What a woman.

I have a hobby of going to King Fon room at night to have a chat with him. Ishtal scolded me, though. He also said that I should not address the king “Fonfon” so I settled with King Fon. King Fon is really dejected and then stared at Ishtal like a mad beast.

This is a bit embarrassing but I got closer to Milin. She is really not that bad if you don’t nitpick on her bad sides.

There was one time that I want to explore the royal capital city so I sneaked out. Milin followed me quietly saying “I won’t regret this!”

After going around the city, we got separated. More like I got lost. I didn’t cry! I definitely didn’t you know!

Because my clothes are high quality, it seems it attracted unwanted attention and before I knew it, some thugs were following me.

I tried to run, you know?

I got cornered, though, it is really cliché scene. The difference is that I am the victim here so it really got scary that I cried out so loud.

Milin suddenly came from nowhere. She faced me with a smile while her whole maid clothes are so drenched in sweat. She is really pale that time. The thugs just smug thinking they have additional prey.

They couldn’t be very wrong. Milin-san manifested a tall, thin spear with snake motif spiraling down from it. It has a beautiful crimson color. In the other hand, she manifested a short sword with black luster. She was a Soul Weapon user and two at that.

As to not cause any trauma for me, she only knocked them unconscious. After that, I kind of softened up to her. She smiled creepily from time to time, though. 

When we returned to the Castle, everyone was going ballistic. The soldier cried out “The Little Miss is here!”

Excuse me, when did I become a Little Miss?

Of course, everyone rushed to my location. Milin retold the events happened. She was lightly scolded while me, the King is really angry at me angrily saying:

“You had us worried sick. I didn’t think you will be this much of a truant!”

Of course, I too know what I have done wrong and I am reflecting on it. The heroes were really silent and Violetta muttering “Oh dear” while Lily and Edelweiss was staring wordlessly.

“Do you want to be thrown out of the castle?!”

Ah?!

He was that angry?!

I jolted from those words. I started trembling and look at the king. The bad scene that happened today played again in my mind.

If someone like me gets thrown out there, can I even hold out for 3 days?

I ask myself this and began tearing up.

“Sorry, *hic* I’m sorry! I won’t do it again *hic*”

I feel really bad. But I am the one in the wrong, I should not cry but...

“Ueehhhhhh!”

“No! No! Asagao! I was kidding! I am not serious! I won’t throw you out! I can never throw you out you know! So please, stop crying!”

“Really?”

“Of course!”

“Un! Sorry King Fon.”

I got really scared there for a moment.

Meanwhile, the people watching are staring daggers at the king. Violetta spoke.

Menacingly.

“Fonfon, aren’t your jokes too much inappropriate for the situation huh?!”

Lily and Edelweiss followed.

“Fonfon, right now, I want the jam your thick skull right down to your brain!”

“Fonfon, in numbers 99-100, how many bones do you want to be broken?”

Fonfon blurts out.

“AHH! Please stop calling me Fonfon! I am sorry! I am reflecting too right now! So please, stop with the threat!!”

They deliberately dropped his title as the king and called him Fonfon. It sounds cute, though. Fonfo- The king approached me and got down to my eye level.

“Asagao, I am truly sorry for that! I wouldn’t do it again, and if someone tries to do it to you, I won’t let them, I will also assure you that I will protect you!”

He said with an apologetic face. He is sincere and since I am the cause of all this, I don’t have any reason not to forgive him. So I smiled and said:

“Un! Big Brother! I am okay!”

Ah!

His tension shot up!

Is it because of being called Big Brother or because of my affirmation?

Ishtal has a complicated face at first but, stopped his self from saying anything.

Is it okay today? I asked myself.

Then Baccara speaks and blurted to all of us, no, to the king.

“If you really want to care for that child, why not take her already as your little sister officially? You are the most annoying here among all the man for being so damn ambiguous.”

Is what she said. The other heroes were also whispering like,

“I would adopt her the first day I laid my eyes on her you know?”

“How hard not to love that adorable Asagao!?”

“The king must have a few screws loose for not doing anything in the past days you know?”

The king’s pride should be crumbling now, but instead.

“Eh?! Can I?!”

“Oh, His Majesty just realized that just now…”

“I told you it would take him more than 3 days to know!”

“Shucks, you won the bet!”

The soldiers in the background are whispering among themselves. I really thought he knows it since I am an orphan. But to think this wise king is this dense. 

“I know this would happen, but not so late, I was forbidding Miss Asagao from calling you big brother or Fonfon so it would drive you to take her as your official little sister.”

Ishtal you scheming old man, but if you just scheme in the background, your existence will always stay unclear.

And thus, ended the whole events happened in this past days before the magical device arrives.

As for the matter of taking me in as a little sister, King Fon said he will do the official declaration when we remove the void particles in our body.

Ruri was shouting in the background, though.

“She is our public little sister! Don’t take her away!”

Rude.
