Chapter 105 – Sister Elf Counseling (1)
#
I have one twin. The shadow that was said to be a ghost in the window earlier. Probably my sister
Okay. You can see it that way That’s not what’s important.
At some point, my twin sister… Got weak. Okay. The omens were revealed from the smallest things. The teacup is too heavy, or it makes me sleep a little too much. I thought it was no big deal at the time.
Then at some point, I couldn’t even get out of bed.
Cause? I do not know. It is unclear whether it is a disease or a curse. Even if I called a doctor or a priest, I couldn’t figure out the cause.
It was the same even if he called the warriors of the previous generation. He… Come to think of it, he has a somewhat similar atmosphere to you guys. Is it because I have the same black hair?
…Anyway, the healer said she sensed an aura from my sister that was not from this world.
I was indebted to him in many ways. It’s because of him that my sister is still alive. Instead I had to lose mana.
Okay. In exchange for my mana, I constantly restore my sister’s life force. Thanks to that healer, I was able to achieve near-impossible magic.
Compared to her sister’s life her, that much mana is nothing. However, if this trend continues… Someday the mana I have will not be able to handle it.
So I had to find another way. Her her I had to find a means to restore her her with all her resources her at her disposal her.
But new magic and alchemy…Money is tight. As always.
Anyway, that kind of research is something I can’t do alone. I asked other alchemists and wizards for help in various ways. With money.
That’s when he approached. That’s why I dragged in research expenses and that’s how it happened.
…Can’t we just leave it like this? I have to do something.
Have you accepted your colleague?
It…Yes. I’m sorry, but I was wondering if I could use you. Lime Hall…The owner of the journal you retrieved…He seems to have succeeded in the end.
The dungeon where the wizard studied slime. I was wondering if I could go there again… And ask him to retrieve the slime he created.
Have you read his journal his to the end?
No? Yeah… That’s good.
Contents? How he met his end His… No, I’d rather not tell you. Not knowing is good for your mental health.
The story leaked.
Anyway, unlike the others, Lime Hall succeeded in developing a healing slime…Poring. In the end, I lost my life because I was distracted, but if I can bring it back… It will help my sister as well.
If you mass produce that slime, it will help you pay off your debt. And maybe an engagement… No. It is nothing.
My story ends here. The story is nothing special.

After finishing the story, Ariel raised the cup to see if her throat her was burning.
And silence. The only sound in the drawing room was the sound of Rebecca pouring her tea.
I sank into the sofa, crossed my arms, and opened Ariel’s information window.
-Tiring.
[Name: Ariel Ionia]
[ Attribute: ▼ ]
[Share Magic (A): Share magic with a specific person. The more similar the wavelength, the lower the loss rate. ]
Okay. Something like that.
Somehow, it disappeared as soon as the mana filled up in the dungeon, so it seems that she passively applied some kind of healing magic to the twins. To maintain that magic, Ariel’s mana is used.
And healing slime… Poring? It’s got a weird name I thought it was going to pay off the debt anyway. Was it that commercially viable?
While I was lost in my thoughts, Yuri suddenly opened her mouth.
“Ah, I don’t… I don’t understand… You said you saw the journal… ? That slime… Why didn’t you go find it yourself… ?”
“…”
Ariel silently raised her teacup, and Rebecca took a step forward.
“Because it was certain that he would interfere.”
“Yes? Ah…”
Rebecca did not hide the contempt from her face her.
“If you’ve heard the story of yesterday’s guest and Ariel-sama, you’ll know… That guy has been interfering with Ariel-sama’s movements in her for 50,000 reasons.”
“Not only that. Even in the outsourced research, there were traces of manipulating it in various ways. It seems that he either interfered with the research itself, or withdrew contact … Or he did n’t want to move the situation further until the marriage was decided.”
“That’s why I dared to meet him in person at the Mage Tower. Because there could be problems in various ways through correspondence. That’s why…”
Ariel put the teacup down and he continued, hesitantly.
“I-I want to ask you to collect the slime. On this side, there is a technology that can mass produce slime. Grace will not be forgotten.”
“…”
“If you want, you can even swear, so please consider it.”
And the silence that flows again. Everyone was looking at me. Not to mention Lenny, and Yuri, who was normally busy messing around, was fiddling with the teacup for no reason.
Giving the slime wasn’t difficult. If you can finish the main quest by handing it over, then this is the welcome. But…Something, something is lacking. That it ends so easily?
“Can I see the sister for a moment?”
At that, Ariel turned to Rebecca.
“…Please wait a moment. I will prepare.”
#
“Nice to meet you. This is Niel Ionia.”
“Nice to meet you. This is Eugene.”
“Les, it’s Leni.”
“It’s glass… “
Yuri was somewhat cheered up in front of Ariel, but when another of her mysterious elves appeared, she gave up again. Lenny… Needless to say.
“My body is not that strong, so I was greeted in bed like this. I ask for your understanding.”
“No, well, that’s fine.”
A silver-haired, blue-eyed elf. They have the same appearance, but unlike Ariel, their expressions are rich. She looked at us and smiled softly…
“Cool.”
Blood, did you vomit blood?!
“What?!”
“Hey, I have to heal…!”
This elf’s complexion is pale, but he’s vomiting blood right? No, it ends like this before I do anything?!
“…Stop joking around.”
At Ariel’s words, Niel smiled brightly and held up the teacup that was placed next to the bed. It’s full of red liquid…
“Whoops.”
“…”
“I’m sorry. I feel lonely after spending time alone in the mansion… Rebecca is no longer fooling me…”
When I turned to the ruthless assassin, she was looking at Niel with a slightly pitiful look in the middle of her expressionless expression.
“No, well, maybe. But it’s not very good for the heart.”
Niel kept giggling at what was funny.
“Did you say you were Ariel’s colleague?”
“Ah yes.”
“Would you like to come closer for a moment?”
Niel called me like that…
“… That’s strange. I feel like I’ve seen…”
Suddenly, he put his hands on my cheeks and pulled my face in!
“Hmm. Hmm. Hmm!”
“This is the first time Ariel has brought her as a colleague. If you don’t mind, could he tell me how you met him?”
I turned to Ariel at those words, and she gave her a light nod. She said it was a bit uncomfortable to take up too much time with a patient, so she skipped over the contents appropriately. Yuri frowned as if she was very disapproving of me skipping the aphrodisiac slime, but she didn’t bother to notice.
“Ariel owes a lot to you.”
“No, even to the extent of being indebted to you… “
“Then, as a colleague, would you like to stay at our mansion? It’s shabby, but it’s still good enough to avoid the wind. Because Rebecca is so irritable.”
“…”
“Please…”
“… Yes. What.”

After leaving Niniel’s room, I handed her healing slime to Ariel. Ariel didn’t say anything to her, but she seemed quite thrilled to see her head down and her body her trembling. Lenny has a duty to help her as her priestess. She followed Ariel as she did.
I lay down on Rebecca’s bed. There are many things to think about.
I handed over the healing slime, but the golden ticket didn’t appear. Of course, based on my experience so far, it’s hard to think that the golden ticket, that is, the main quest, will end at this stage. Maybe when I finish that curse or something, I’ll get a golden ticket.
But just with that slime… Can it be healed?
I started searching my memory.
A year later, Ariel was at the pig’s mansion. But then the pig was nowhere to be seen. What happened to that pig? Is it dead
Well, that’s not important. Anyway, at that point it was clear that Ariel could use the pig’s wealth of hers. Otherwise, there was no way he could have treated those warriors so grandly alone.
If so, it was highly likely that the slime was retrieved by releasing the money as well.
But… Ariel made a deal with Naias in the north.
Ariel’s goal is to improve Niel’s situation and, if possible, eliminate the cause. Does Ariel have a purpose other than that? It didn’t look that way.
Then it was clear that Ariel’s runaway spirit had something to do with Niel’s situation.
I have to remember. There was definitely a hint in the original.
…
〈– Another World Hero Legend ? Hen-〉
“… Stop it, Hero. She has already lost her heart. She is just a puppet of the spirits now.”
“But…They treated us so well…”
“Don’t be weak-minded. It was just a condescending illusion of a rich man. Even if that’s not the case, now…”
——————————————-
No. Not here After defeating Naias, we need:
〈– Another World Hero Legend ? Hen-〉
「…Praise the hero!」
「Praise!」
The disaster that buried half of the northern city in a blizzard ended like that, and a rather embarrassing banquet began.
“I can’t get used to this no matter what.”
“Don’t be humble, hero. Even if the feat accomplished by the hero is made of electricity, it will easily exceed the heat fist…”
“That, stop it. A petit bourgeois like me can’t stand that…”
「Please, can’t we protect the dignity of a hero? If you’re so shy, we’ll be hot too…”
In the midst of hearing the blows of the female warrior and the magician, the lord of the hot spring city approached the hero.
“Hero. Thank you for your hard work. Thanks to that, we were able to reduce the damage.”
“Not much to say… Come to think of it, the damage to the residents is great… You must be very concerned. I’m sorry.”
Yeongju made a very strange expression at those words.
“…The property damage is obviously great… But something strange happened.”
“What are you talking about?”
“…The inhabitants who were frozen by Naias…All of them came back to life.”
“Yes?”
「I found the missing residents in the dungeon of Naias. I thought they were all dead because they were trapped in ice crystals… But in an instant, the crystals shattered and everyone came to their senses.”
“It can’t be… Uh, then we’ll just have her…”
“It is not so. The warrior made the best choice he could. And the dungeon wasn’t just residents. There were many other races. She also found an elf who looked similar to her, so she’s going to interrogate her now…」
——————————-
Okay. It has been mentioned here once. But you need to be sure. Little bit more.
〈– Another World Hero Legend ? Hen-〉
The hero left the northern city while being seen off by the residents.
“Wait, is that?!”
“What’s the matter?”
“… No, it’s nothing.”
Somehow, it seemed that Ariel could be seen among the residents who greeted him, but the elf had blue eyes unlike hers. Perhaps it was an illusion. Illusions caused by guilt.
————————————-
Okay. This part.
I think I know now.
This writer was A, but in fact he was B, because he didn’t use the same narrative trick. At this point, if she had the same features as Ariel and blue eyes, she would be Niall.
Then Niniel gets trapped in her ice crystals from a future point in time….
-Smart.
“Who are you?”
“…This is Rebecca, the butler.”
