187. Imouto


    We have returned to Japan.


    I''d left the sword of trial since it will take three days for it to be reforged.


    I''m looking forward to how the forging will turn out when I go there next week.


    I had everyone gathered in the living room.


    What are we going to do now, Oniichan?


    We''re now going to makeCurse dispelling potion.


    N?You''ve gathered everyone just because of that?


    Ah. Just watch.


    Well, alright but


    I''ve begun to makecurse dispelling potionwhilst everyone is watching.


    The threecurse dispelling potions +2werepleted in a few minutes without any particr problems too.


    Appraisal


    Curse dispelling potion +2


    When sprinkled over something cursed


    it can dispel the curse.


    Rarity:


    It has beenpleted normally but what are you going to do with this?


    First, let''s use it on Hilda.


    M-, Me??


    I spread out a bath towel on the table andid Hilda on it.


    Oniichan, you''re not going to do something strange to Hilda, are you?


    What strange thing!?


    And I slowly


    dripped a bit ofcurse dispelling potion +2on theve Corthat coiled around Hilda''s neck.


    Hau!


    Hilda utters a strange cry.


    Are you okay?


    Y-, Yes I-, I''m fine.


    I carefully and gradually poured the cruse dispelling potion drop after drop.


    Hiyauu!


    Hilda''s cheeks have been dyed in bright red, she''s breathing roughly and bends her body loosely back and forth with *moji moji*.


    It somehow dreadful how it feels like we''re doing something naughty.


    And when I poured thest drop


    AAAAaa!


    Hilda bends her body like a prawnand she is trembling with *bikun bikun*.


    O-, Oniichan!


    I-, I only poured the curse dispelling potion.


    At that moment!


    *Snap!*


    A sound of something broken could be heard


    and the ve cor fell smoothly from Hilda''s neck!


    Hilda ispletely exhausted whilst breathing heavily with *haa haa*.


    Are you okay, Hilda?


    Y-, Yes


    When I tried to useappraisalon theve cor


    Appraisal

    A cor made with a monster''s leather.


    Rarity:


    The curse has been removed and it bes aleather cor!


    And then, I try to useAppraisalon Hilda this time.

    I did it, the very had been lifted!


    Eh!!?


    Aya and Elena are surprised while Hilda is stunned.


    The condition becamenormnd the upation changed fromvetomagician.


    The stats have also risen from when I saw them before.


    Is it because of the upation change?


    Can you exin what does it mean, oniichan?


    That''s right, I''ve never heard of a freed ve before.


    Okay, I''ll exin!


    When I usedAppraisalon Hilda before, she had aCondition: Cursed(very).


    In other words~. very is nothing but a kind of curse.


    It can be cure withcurse dispelling potion, right?


    I see~


    While having such a talk


    arge teardrop had been umted at the corner of Hilda''s eyes and she burst into tears with *egu egu*.


    What''s wrong, Hilda?


    S-, Seiji-sama


    don''t throw me away!


    Hilda burst into tears with *wan wan*.


    I will not throw Hilda away.


    I drew Hilda close and continued to pat her head.


    Because, the ve contract was thebondbetween Seiji-sama and me but


    I''ve be alone again.


    I see Hilda thinks of her ve contract with me in that way, huh


    I''m sorry for lifting the ve contract selfishly without asking you, Hilda.


    I know that you had done it with my circumstances in mind, Seiji-sama.


    B-, But


    Alright, I understand!


    Then, Hilda is my imouto from this day!


    I-, Imouto?


    Oh, exactly right!


    If it''s keimai, the bond is much stronger than very, right?


    Then, is it fine?


    Uh, err.. well then


    can I call youoniichantoo?


    Of course, sure thing!


    O-, Oniichan


    What is it?Imouto.


    Hilda burst into tears again and leaped into my chest.


    I continued to pat Hilda''s head until she was satisfied.


    Hilda-chan, if you have be oniichan''s imouto~


    you''re going to be my imouto as well, right?


    When Hilda finally calmed down, Aya said so whilst patting Hilda''s head.


    Aya-sama as oneechan?


    Will you be my imouto, Hilda-chan?


    Yes!Aya-sama.


    It''s not ''Aya-sama'', right?


    A-, Aya oneechan


    Aya and Hilda stared at each other with a smile.


    Me too!I''ll be your oneechan, Hilda!


    Elena pats Hilda''s head too.


    Even Elena-sama!?


    It''s not ''Elena-sama'', it''s oneechan!


    Y-, Yes!E-, Elena oneechan!


    And then, Aya, Elena, and Hilda


    forever and eternally


    hugged each other.


    Something like this:
