Episode 196 Ami's older sister

Paub, the bear-shaped Shadow Puppet who had completed training and could move freely, spent most of its time in Ami's shadow. It was decided that Paub would go out of the shadows at the academy's training grounds or dungeons.

Ami was working on training to raise her magic level in order to master the magic of 'Wing', which was another goal, so she often went hunting with Paub in the Giant Tree Dungeon after school.

Knowing this, Karina advised Ami to rest.

"If you push yourself too hard, you might lose your concentration while exploring the dungeon and die. That's no good."

"But, I wasted a year, so I have to try."

Karina let out a sigh.

"You're working hard enough. On your next break, go back to your parent's house and take it easy."

Having been told that, Ami decided to return to the Jikouji Family home after school on Friday.

Ami returned to her parents' house after changing trains and told her mother, who was at home, that she had returned.

"Come back more often. Don't make me worry."

"Ye~s."

When Ami asked about her father's schedule, she was told that he was on a business trip to Osaka.

"Did you need to talk to your father?"

"I don't really have anything to talk about, but he said he wanted to hear what happened at the academy."

Her mother, Manami, nodded with a smile.

"Well then, it might be disappointing if your father returned home. In return, Mother will listen."

Ami said that she was training in the dungeon with Grimm and that she was studying as a Magic Puppeteer, she said that she helped make a bear-shaped Shadow Puppet and received a Shadow Puppet that they made as a practice run.

"Speaking of which, your father was also talking about Shadow Puppets, are they the same thing?'

This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.

"I think they are the same."

"If I remember correctly, when a high-ranking person from the Magic Agency took a Shadow Puppet to an international conference, there was a huge response."

While they were talking about that, they heard a voice at the entrance. Kyouko, the eldest sister, had returned. This sister was the problem child of their family. She was in her third year of college, but she was a free spirited person who worried her parents.

After returning home, Kyouko changed her clothes and tried to go out again. Manami stopped her.

"Where are you going this late."

"My friends are waiting outside."

When her mother frowned, Ami noticed.

"I refuse."

"Wait a moment."

Ami followed her mother outside. There were two herbivorous men standing outside the entrance, not delinquents like Yankees. Yankees and motorcycle gangs were extinct in this era.

"Kyouko-chan, if you don't hurry, it'll start."

"I'll be there soon. Mom, I'm going to see an underground idol show. It's okay."

Kyouko seemed to be into men's underground idols. She said that there were male underground idols as well as female underground idols. Ami learned about it for the first time.

"I'm worried that you're going alone."

"In that case, how about if Ami is with me?"

Her older sister Kyouko suggested.

"Eh~h, me too."

Her mother made a decision after making a thinking face. Ami did drastic things sometimes, but her mother, who knew she was a down-to-earth, serious person, decided it would be fine with Ami as her guardian.

She didn't really know why, but Ami was trusted by her mother.

"Alright. If you're going with Ami, I'll allow it. In exchange, come back as soon as the show is over."

Compared to dungeons, the city was safe at night. Japanese cities were safer than foreign countries.

Ami decided to go as well and went out with her older sister. The show held in the downtown area was so lively that Ami couldn't understand it. Ami was overwhelmed as she watched the crowd making noise in a small venue.

After it was over, Kyouko asked her sister as she was heading for the exit to go home.

"Ami, how was it?"

"So-so."

They must have heard her voice. A large woman in a dress next to her ... not, rather, a person with a slightly growing beard that was somewhat blue glared at Ami.

"Hey, are you finding fault with my Hiroki?"

Thinking that she was involved with a strange person,

"It just wasn't to my liking. Please don't mind it."

"I do mind it. Hiroki is the best in the world."

"It's fine if you think so, but please don't force it on others."

The blue bearded woman? was glaring at Ami. Her older sister Kyouko intervened.

"Katherine-san, this child was just accompanying me. Please excuse her."

She thought it was possibly their 'professional name' at a store, but Ami almost burst out laughing when she heard Katherine. It felt like something like Gonzou would suit them.

"You're in the way."

Katherine grabbed Kyouko's shoulder and pushed her away. It looked like Kyouko fell and injured her hand.

"What are you doing!?"

Ami raised her voice.

"Oh shut up. I'll punish you too."

Katherine seemed to be losing their mind with the blood rushing to their head. Apparently they were still excited about the show.

"Calm down. I'm an adventurer."

"What's that. Even I have an adventurer card."

They tried to be an adventurer, but they seemed to have failed. It seemed that the excitement had increased.

Onlookers surrounded Ami and Katherine. Perhaps hearing the commotion, the male idols who were in the show appeared at the venue.

Kyouko noticed Hiroki among them and rushed over to talk to him.

"Katherine-san is getting too excited and is about to go out of control. Please stop it."

Hiroki, who had a model's figure, shook his head when he saw the strong Katherine.

"Impossible, Katherine-san has a criminal record of beating up a judo student."

When Ami saw Katherine was looking like they were about to hit her, she was at a loss as to what to do. If she pulled out Paub here, she could easily subdue Katherine, but then there would be a big fuss.

Katherine's breathing became rough and grabbed Ami. Ami was learning how to fight from Grimm, so she used a palm push.

Ami's hand seemed to hit Katherine's chest as a QuadPush hit Katherine's chest. It had the power to repel even an Orc. Katherine was blown away.

Katherine flew in the air and fell to the floor. The whites of their eyes showed. When Ami checked to see if they were alive or dead, they seemed to have just passed out. The onlookers who were watching were watching with terribly surprised faces.

"I wonder if it would have been better if I took it a little easier."

Hearing what Ami said, the onlookers drew back in unison.
