126 – Entering Delinia – 3
“… … sister?”
Opponent staring at Rosé and standing blankly with arms hanging down. I couldn’t take a look at it because I wasn’t in a hurry, but when the situation calmed down a bit, the face I saw was really… … .
“It looks like it.”
It was very similar to Rosé.
“No, why are you hanging out with this evil group?! Suh, I can’t believe my sister was stained with wickedness… … !”
“Ella! What nonsense! You’re being rude to my pet, Gregory!”
“… … yes? Cow, summons? What is this weird looking thing?!”
“… … It’s weird looking, that’s too much.”
A comment that would have hurt my heart if it was me in the past. But maybe it’s because it’s been a while since I came to this world. Rather, it felt familiar.
“but… … ! You have an evil energy just by looking at them… … !”
“Isn’t it natural that the race is devil?”
“Oh, the devil? Um, are you saying my sister has a demon as her pet?! A demon that looks so awful?!”
No matter how much it is, it’s a little bit bitter to hear something like this a second time… … .
I decided to cancel the transformation first, as I thought that at this rate, I would only continue to talk about my appearance.
A fleeting flash of light. Rosé’s younger sister Ella’s expression changes when she sees me transforming into a human form.
“What, what the hell is that figure?!”
“This is another side of me. Why, would the original form be better?”
“Oh no! It’s better to stay the way it is. Strange and human figures. A demon with two forms, what the heck… … .”
“Whoa, it’s because you’re my pet, not anyone else! How is it, does the older sister you haven’t seen in a while look a little different?”
Rosé walks towards this place with her nose high. Ella, who had not relaxed until now at that confident voice, let out a sigh and relaxed.
“… … Judging by her behavior, she is my older sister who has not been brainwashed or not.”
“How am I usually!”
“… … Rosé is a bit special, isn’t it?”
“Yes?”
“Why do you two communicate like that?!”
Probably everyone who has seen Rosé around knows.
It’s like I don’t know myself.
“By the way, sister. How the hell did this happen? What the hell is that demon summoner, and what are the skeleton horse and the other people behind it?”
Ella, who had been wearing a hood up until now, takes off the hood and asks Rosé.
Unlike rosé, which is black near the roots, natural blonde with a completely yellow tint.
Its appearance was very similar to the appearance of the Elves we commonly know.
“I said I’d come to my house, can’t I?”
Rosé answered coldly as if it was nothing really. Seeing that, Ella grabs her forehead and lets out a sigh.
“Yes, sister can come. That person over there is also your sister’s summoned beast, so let’s assume that’s the case. Then, you can’t talk about that woman, that little skeleton, and that skeleton!”
“Why not?”
“Because I am an outsider! Not even anywhere else, but near the World Tree. What if I had met someone else on the way here?”
“huh? did you meet?”
“… … yes? Who, who?”
“Yukelaine has a nose prick.”
“Ah, a coaster? Then it won’t be a big deal.”
“right?”
“no no! That’s not the problem! After all, you can’t bring in outsiders!”
Rosé finally shouts with both hands clenched at Ella’s stubborn attitude.
“I am not an outsider! My friend!”
As if surprised by Rosé’s cry, Ella widened her eyes.
“yes? Uh, sister… … friend?”
Saying that in a tone of disbelief, Ella looks at the tequila. Sensing that gaze, Tequila looked at Ella and bowed her head respectfully.
“This is Tequila Croft, taking classes with Rosé at the Summoners Academy.”
“Ah yes! I am Ella von Euglia, the younger sister of Rosé. Please take good care of me. uh… … . Necromancer. Is that right?”
“Since he mainly handles Undead-type summons and uses spirit-type magic, you can call him a Necromancer.”
“Ah, then that Skeleton Horse… … ?”
“That’s what Roger borrowed.”
“Ahh. okay. That skeleton horse is Rose unnie… … sister?! Are you dealing with undead as well as demons?”
“no? I borrowed that from Paimon-sama.”
“… … Paimon?”
“there is. The great devil who is close to me!”
“Great, great devil? It’s not the Pandemonium Grand Duke Paimon I know, right?”
“That’s right.”
“No, why are you close with the Great Devil, who only appears in legends?!”
“hmm… … . Are you friends?”
“… … What kind of life have you lived since you entered the alternative academy?”
Ella trembled and approached Rosé. She was holding on to Rosé’s shoulders and looking at him with a desperate expression.
“uh… … . I think I just lived a normal life… … .”
I seem to have lived a completely unusual life, but if the person in question said that, I didn’t have to say anything.
“Hey, sister. I don’t know what happened, but friendship with the Archdemon. Never! Great for parents! don’t tell me If I said that, my parents would be surprised and fall back. Got it?”
“uh… … . that is… … .”
“yes. What else? Don’t tell me when you get home, tell me everything right now.”
“One of the people who signed a contract with me is the Great Evil, Marvas-sama, can I mention that too?”
“… … yes? Are you kidding? It’s Marbas. The Marvas I know. Is that the Sword Saint Marvas who cut the calamity?”
“huh!”
“… … What kind of devil is your sister?! What kind of great devil are you friends with! I have a contract with the other Great Devils! If you keep doing this, would you say that demon over there is also the Great Devil?”
huh? me?
“ah. Introduction is late. As you expected, I am Gregory Jones, the grand duke of the Pandemonium.”
“Ha, I will. really.”

“This is the territory ruled by our family. This is Euglia.”
After arriving at the village, Ella caught her breath and pointed to the scene unfolding before her eyes as she said so.
Despite being in the middle of the forest, the agricultural areas are divided by parcels. There were crops planted with unusual energy even at a glance, and a beautiful village that seemed to be made of stones and trees was located not far from it.
“here… … . A village of elves.”
Tequila gazing at the beautiful scene in awe. And beside it… … .
“Sup! under! Wet! under! Certainly, the hometown air is nice!”
There was Rose, who was happy that she had returned to her hometown while repeating inhalation and exhalation.
“Certainly, it feels a bit different because it’s a village of elves.”
It is a landscape that is said to have been built in a nature-friendly way. The sight of people working hard in the fields really made me think that they were like people working in paradise, but… … .
After hearing the truth from Rosé, I couldn’t think of such a thing.
“Oh, have the number of workers increased?”
“Yes, there have been quite a few people trying to break into Delinia these days. In the end, it all turned out that way.”
They were all slaves who came to catch elves but were instead captured.
“You mean the invaders from Delinia… … ?”
Tequila, who did not know the reason, questioned Ella’s words, while Demonic next to her just nodded her head, wondering if she had heard anything from Lily in the past.
“Because they are none other than your sister’s friend and the undead who were Lily-sama’s summons, I brought them all the way here.”
On the way to this place, I let you know that the demonic used to be Lily’s pet, and thanks to that, I was able to erase a little of my hostility towards the demonic.
“Ahh! You can see our house over there! Gregory! Tequila! That’s our house!”
Rosé, who was looking around, smiled brightly and pointed in the direction of the village.
At the location Rose pointed to, there was a building that was bigger than the others.
“And over there is the world tree that my family manages! Lily-sama’s grave is over there behind the World Tree.”
In the next location pointed out, a huge tree stood in the middle of the fields.
A tree that boasts overwhelming majesty with a gigantic size that cannot be compared to other trees.
It was the first time I had ever seen the World Tree, which I had only heard about, so it was a very mysterious sight.
“Are you farming around the World Tree?”
“yes! Adults say that the elixir grows well? Did you? yes? Ella.”
“sister! That’s a secret you shouldn’t tell outsiders… … .”
“ok? okay? what’s up Everyone must be guessing.”
After hearing Rosé’s irresponsible answer, Ella grabs her forehead.
But Rosé didn’t care and continued talking.
“And above all! My younger sister here is the World Tree Shaman, an elf who can communicate with the World Tree!”
“Now, wait a minute! Uh, sister!”
Rosé’s words turn Ella’s forehead red. Was he embarrassed by the sudden introduction of himself? With her head completely bowed, she turned in the direction of the mansion.
“that that… … ! First, I’ll take everyone home. I have to report to my parents that they have guests.”
Saying that, Rosé was startled as she looked at Ella’s back as she moved ahead of us.
“hey! Go with me!”
“You should bring your guests!”
“Oh right!”
Saying that, Rosé chases Ella from behind.
“… … Who the hell is your sister?”
“… … I am of the same opinion.”
Rosé’s younger sister, Ella.
She was a much more mature younger sister than Rosé.
