It doesn’t have to be just one. (2)

“Sister. Are you feeling better today?”

“Yeah. Sorry about yesterday, I was a little sensitive. “

My older sister, who answered my words with a slightly bitter smile, was walking toward the dorm with me arm in arm as usual.

“You said you swung a sword. Did you train like you used to?”

I wanted to ask what had happened with the princess, but I didn’t want to see my older sister’s displeased expression again, so I tried to lighten the mood and continued the conversation as normal.

“Yeah. It’s similar, but there aren’t many people here to spar with. I just watched Harb-kun’s training for the first time in a while.”

“… Oh. How was it?”

It’s already been three weeks since I told him to train separately for a while, since he had been training too much with his older sister and not having time for his girlfriend, Loretta.

However, it seems that his older sister trained with him to relieve stress due to the princess’s work.

This… can’t be helped.

“Hmm. That was amazing. Now Rudis is at a level where he can never be defeated by a sword.”

“Wow. As expected, he’s a talented guy.”

“… But if Rudis learns swordsmanship, he will be able to win again.”

“Haha. If you tell me that, I’ll really mistake you for a fool?”

“Am I serious?”

“Hey, I don’t have any Aura.”

“There is a huge difference in sword fighting with or without an aura, but when it comes to swordsmanship itself, an aura is in some way a hindrance to swordsmanship training. Do you think a child who swings a heavy sword that cuts anything can defeat a master swordsman who only has a light and sharp sword?”

“That’s true. Harve is also good at swordsmanship, right?”

“Well, that’s right. It seems like you’ve been trying to break through the wall of swordsmanship lately.”

“… Huh? No way.”

As my sister continued talking, I unconsciously wiped my dry lips with my hand.

My older sister thinks that Harb’s swordsmanship is starting to hit the next wall. That means.

“She’s way more talented than my daughter Ellis. Honestly, if she keeps growing at her own pace, she might reach level 6, the same level as me, before she turns 30.”

“Sister, is there any chance of reaching level 5 before the ranked match?”

“Huh? I don’t think so. Rather, if you get a chance to fight strong players during the ranking battle, it seems like you could rise after it’s over. “

“… I see.”

It seems that the difficulty level for Raul to beat Harb in ranked matches has increased several levels.

Um… sorry, this wasn’t really intentional, Raoul.

After I unconsciously confessed to the protagonist of this world in my mind, I was able to arrive at the dorm with my older sister.

“Sister, but what I told the teacher earlier… “

“Huh? Oh, that. Well, the only monster I have is Purungi. Well, it doesn’t have horns, so it’s safe, right?”

After saying that, my older sister moved towards the stable where Purungi was instead of the dormitory entrance, and I followed her.

There, as if it knew that my sister had come, a huge black horse, no, a monster bicorn, was looking at me with its golden eyes the same color as my sister’s, gleaming and shouting ‘Purur!’

“Hehehe. It’s been a while, Purung-ah~”

“Purrr!”

“Yeah, yeah. Were you listening to what your sister said?”

“Blue~”

“… Sister, but can this thing be controlled? We didn’t capture it with our magic tools.”

There are magical tools that completely control monsters, but their prices are truly extraordinary.

How serious is it? It’s almost the same price as the 1/3rd of the Transcendence Catalyst I made. In other words, it costs at least 500 million.

So we don’t take this guy outside, and we don’t let anyone near him except my sister or the owner of this place, Ms. Paula. Even.

-Ugh.

“Kihihiing!!”

“Wow! Purung is doing this again!”

“Um, sis. It may be a bit strange to say this, but considering the nature of Bicorn… wouldn’t at least half of the Academy students be kicked and blown away? “

This guy hates men and women so much that he wants to kill them. Even now, when I reach out my hand just in case, it doesn’t try to bite my hand as if it remembers me, but instead turns its head away and lets out a hostile cry.

Putting a target on this guy’s body and making him aim at students? If he gets even a little angry, he might rush in and crush all the students’ heads.

“Hmm. I thought it was a good idea, but maybe it won’t work?”

“That won’t work, right? Because I don’t think safety will be guaranteed.”

“What a shame… I thought it would be nice to get some fresh air since I’m in the stable every day.”

“Blue.”

When I see a boy who meekly accepts the caressing touch of his older sister, I honestly don’t think it’s a bad plan.

If it’s a monster at the level of Purungi, then the bastard who was after the princess might try to mess with her again and get trampled to death instead.

When I think about it like that, I start to wonder how I can’t use this guy, but there’s still no answer…

“What is this? It’s night, and I came here because the little horse was noisy. What are you guys doing here? I’ll tell you in advance, but I gave you food equal to the money I received from you.”

While I was thinking about it and worrying, Mrs. Paula, the owner of the inn, came and approached Purungi as if it was nothing, tapped her face, and said, “Be quiet, all the guests are running away.”

“Sister… “

“No, I didn’t try to check it out because I was suspicious.”

“I know. I was joking. So, I guess you’re saying that you’re going to take this brat that only aunties and uncles like to the academy?”

“Ah, I was going to do that. But I thought I couldn’t control it, so I gave up… “

“Why give up? It’s out of control, but aren’t there many ways to do it?”

“”?””

You can control the monsters even without magic tools.

The owner of the inn, who had casually said such things, opened his mouth with a villainous smile, even more so than I, who had been living as a third-rate villain for a long time, as he looked at my older sister rather than me.

“A horse needs a rider, right?”

At those words, somehow my sister’s tail and ears began to flap vigorously for the first time in a long time.

“… That is the Vicon that will be in charge of the target monster for the second practical training of the Black Magic Department starting today.”

“”””?””””

“Keeeing!!”

“”””!!””””

A spacious outdoor training ground.

A huge black horse stands proudly in the center.

For some reason, there were only scars where horns should have been, but the students could not help but feel the intimidation radiating from its gigantic roar and size and clearly understood that it was no ordinary monster.

“… If it’s a refund, isn’t it a monster that can at least blow up a village?”

“Do you remember the incident about 10 years ago when a Refundable went wild at the entrance to the capital and an entire Knights Templar was disbanded? “

“Fuck. If that ridiculously large horse runs wild, anyone under level 5 of the trait will die. “

“But, you want me to attack it? I almost got sick just from the way it cried?”

“Teacher! I need to go to the bathroom for a minute… !”

Yesterday’s knight-level monster, Death Knight, was intimidating the moment you saw it, but the Bycon, a monster that was at least one, if not two or three, levels stronger, struck fear into the students’ hearts just by its presence.

Of course, the students here have never been out to defeat monsters, nor have they received any training for that.

Furthermore, the Bycon’s body had an ominous, dark blue glow that the people of this world hated, and its eyes seemed to be intelligent, as if they were discerning them, so the students could not help but feel even more intimidated.

“Tch! … Don’t worry, that monster won’t attack you.”

However, the students’ reactions were so dissatisfied with Piana’s words, or she shouted loudly as if she didn’t like what she was saying, that frightened eyes were focused on her.

Piana felt their gazes as if they were trying to identify the students and find evidence that the monster that looked like it would attack them at any moment was not dangerous.

She let out another annoying click of her tongue before shouting, “Come out!” and backing away from the monster and the approaching golden woman.

“Hello~ I am Yuria, your ‘classmate’ studying in the swordsmanship department!”

The golden fox spirit Yuria appeared like that. She was quite famous even in the black magic department.

A beautiful appearance and a huge pocket of consideration that attracts the attention of both men and women.

All of that was eye-catching, but more than that, they knew who she was always involved with.

“Hehehe. From now on, while you guys are training, I’ll be riding ‘our’ Purungi. So, it won’t attack you, right? “

“”””… … “”””

At Yuria’s words, the students’ expressions completely hardened for a different reason than before.

*

“I can’t transfer departments, but I guess there’s a way to approach it like this. Now, it’s time for the girl to show off to everyone around her.”

“Huh. There’s more than just one way.”

“So, are you saying you’re going to keep fighting with the girl over Rudis?”

“Do you think I’ll lose to you?”

“… Haha! To be honest, the girl likes Rudis, but she’s starting to like Yuria more! If it were a guy, I might like her more than Rudis, right? “

“Nonsense. You would have chosen Rudis even if I were a man.”

“Hehehe. Can you tell it’s a lie?”

“Yeah.”

After a brief training break, it was lunchtime. While Rudis had disappeared, saying she had something to talk to my teacher, Piana, I was left alone with the princess as usual, and stood there to answer the princess who had declared war on me.

“Here we go again. Who is the real ‘his’ woman? Let’s have a proper fight.”

“… Ahahaha!! This is fun. I like it. Then, girl. No, I, Princess Coti Royal Crimson, will do anything to take Rudis’ side away. “

“Try it.”

Yuria glares at the princess with a nervous expression, as if she were dealing with an arch-enemy, unlike usual, and even her tail feathers stand on end.

And the princess finds Yuria’s response amusing.

A beautiful woman in her thirties who uses a vicon to reveal that she is not a ‘virgin’ and that there is only one ‘man’ around her, in order to get with him.

“The girl will win anyway!”

“You’ll know when you see it.”

Seeing Yuria’s determination not to back down even one step from her, the princess corrects her thinking of wanting only ‘one’.

‘I’ll take both of you. Rudis, Yuria. You will become the girl’s. I intend to cultivate the strength to do so.’

Neither the reincarnated person, the magician, nor the former knight commander knew that the villainess’ thoughts had begun to move in a completely different direction.
