Chapter 22 Part 2

After that, I took a small explanation on how to use thePa.s.s, and then she would have to take a leave by saying that her work was calling.

Even though she looks like a little girl, she is at the top of a big a.s.sociation, no wonder she is busy.

When we were returning, Noel-san called out as though she remembered something.

Ah Minato, everything today ended in a haste, but normally Im doing the work of the a.s.sociation perfectly, so do come when you need something? I can do anything from wholesale of medicines to the making of custom-made equipments

Maybe she understood our mutual relation of siblings, she has changed calling meMinato-hantoMinatoand told me that.

I see so thats how it is? Then I will take favors from you in future.

After all, the a.s.sociation was certified by mom, and the manager is my sister(I just knew it today). I had thought of finding a new weapon shop that I become a regular at, but unexpectedly there was a G.o.dsend for me.

Or rather, I have something I am thinking about right now, maybe, I need to take favors from her pretty soon.

This and, this, and that tooI will come after I have them all.

And

And? Noel-neesan

If youre going to live as an adventurer, then you will travel various places around the world. Maybe you will meet other brothers and sisters of yours at those places. At that time, rely on me without any hesitation! Though there are siblings with bad and good personalities, but in the end theyre all siblings

When she said something filled with warmth, I suddenly noticed it,

Now that I think about it,

I have one thing to ask, Noel-neesan

Hm?

I had thinking of asking from a long time before, butJust how many brothers and sisters do I have above me?

Mom only told I had many siblings during the time at home, nothing more.

I dont think its something you can forget. But what if she gave birth to many that she cant count nowYea~h

But, I recall Noel-neesan introducing herself as4th daughtersome minutes ago.

And she just said thatMaybe you will meet other brothers and sisters of yours at those places.

I can somewhat guess, that there are many brothers and sisters I have.

In that case, is it something like large family of 5 men and 6 girls? Yeah, its my mom were talking about, nothings impossible.

Ah, didnt mom told you? If I am not mistaken, including you, it would be err

No, its not really bad to have a family that can make a complete baseball teamlets be prepared.

She is aSuccubusafter all, so its natural for that field of work to be more, so how many brother and sisters above me do I have

11 man and 15 woman, in total 26 siblings. Minato, you should be the youngest

I was naive.

I was naive to the point, of a dinner dish made with sugar and brown sugar put in it thinking they were salt and pepper.

Let alone a single soccer team, with this number there can be two teams with 2 subst.i.tutes for every player, truly unexpected.

The black colored carriage, once again travelled through the road taking Minato and Elk back to inn.

Noel waved her hands humbly while seeing off the carriage. The moment carriage disappeared in the corner of road, she ran quickly back to her room.

And, the moment she closed the door behind her with a slam,

From her facethe smile vanished.

Though it didnt change her cute facial looks. However from her face, was coming a really sharp feeling of intimidation, rather than the gentle feelings from some time before.

Its not that she narrowed her eyes, neither did she frown, but the glint in her eye was enough to even make an amateur realize that shes not an ordinary person.

Then, she issued an order to her secretary, who had been waiting for long.

With a shortYesthe secretary responded, walked into the next room, and came back soon enough.

The secretary was holding a big transparent tablet made of crystal.

If Minato could see this scene, he wouldve gotten the impression of the terminal screen of an HDTV taken out.

After putting the tablet on the large table in the centre of the room, Noel walks up to it, mumbles a few words, and puts aCardon it.

ThisCardwas somethingshe retrieved before coming here.

When she does, some scribblingsome sort of information appears on it as though it were an LCD.

Noel kept silent seeing it, after a while, she opened her mouth little by little.

Geez, its nothing new that mom has no integrity. But this time she has made something really great

Is it about Minato-dono?

Thats right. When I got the letter from mom recently2 months ago, I couldnt think what it meant, but after seeing it with my eyes, I can now truly understand. What is that monster

Remembering, the face of youngest brother she was dealing with a smile, she faintly smiles and says as such.

The thing that appeared on the crystal tablet was, the simplified yet detailed observation details of Minatos internal and external magical power.

The one who changed that observation into data was, the observation and receiver device placed beforehand, in the room next to this one. The thing that was needed to read the information, was theCardfrom before.

TheCardmakes it possible to carry the collected information, and is used as an intermediary for reading the information through the crystal tablet.

Furthermore,

She had inserted a magic item for gaining even more detailed information, into theBlack Pa.s.sshe gave to Minato before.

Noel who had gained simplified information through those two steps from before and was astonished at the information shown on the tablet.

She had given him thePa.s.swith the intention ofObservationcorrectionSurveillance.

Naturally, this pa.s.s wasnt ordered by the fraud criminal, but Noel herself ordered it, as it was written it the letter which also had the fees for it, 300 gold.

Including the line that she got the letter from Lilyn some days ago, its all a big big lie.

It wasnt a normal pa.s.sit has the device for observing the magical power, and many other devices inserted into it. There are not more than 2 of its kind in this world, a specially custom-made product. That was, thePa.s.sfrom before.

The secretary who was standing besides her calls out to Noel who was looking at the information gathered through it with a serious face.

How was he? How did Minato-dono seem to you Noel-sama?

I had seen him during the fight beforehe is good enough in regards to battle powers to get pa.s.sing marks for that.

He wouldnt lose even if the people were ten times more, it wont change anything to him. The so-called big-serpent he killed, was also most probably done in easily, completely different from the rumours.

Her face changes to somewhat unpleasant expression,

The evaluation for his fighting style and personality is put on hold for a while

Any problems?

Any, lot of problems. Ah, right now that was not a joke?

I know, the problem might be? Is it the fighting skills and magic he use? May i know, what the problem might be?

No, there isnt any problem in that place. His magic and skills are both first cla.s.s productsbut, before that, hisStancein itself is kinda

Noel heaves a sigh*haa*, takes her eyes off the crystal tablet and sits on sofa besides her.

There isnt any frown on her brows, but a shadow is descending/ casted on them.

Simply, he has lot of self-confidence in the strength of his body. He doesnt dodge the attacks of enemies, and take them head on, he has showed thatperformancein fights. That and, he did something similar in theLabyrinthtoo

I seethat is a problem. Agility and Certainty is need when fighting the demons. Sometimes, its need to be fighting with cold-heart without playing. If someone were to neglect that and take their strength for granted

Hm? Ah, no, I didnt mean it like that

Yes?

To Noels intervention the secretary replied with curious look. As though saying, where did I get wrong, that.

Hes not taking his strength for granted, and neither making mistakes in his judgement? Well, its not he is always on guard, he infers the magical power of opponent and magic too, then only does he do his work like this, he adapts as necessary

Is that so?

Or rather, if he wins in the end, there isnt anyone to complain his way of fighting. Let it be he fights while waiting, or he fights while holding back, or while looking away, or while thinking, or while talking in middle, or while muttering or even while taking others attacksif he completes his goal in end, a complaint by an outsider would be rude

If he makes a mistakes, its his own fault, Noel clearly says that.

To the secretary making a face saying, Then what is the problem, Noel replies withButand continues while making her eyes narrow.

Its no problem if he chose to fight like that. I too, dont have any reason to complain. Howeverthe problem is that if he didnt choose it

If he didnt choose it?

Thats right. It wont be good if he becomes just like mom in her younger days, aDaydreamer. Certainly, he is an idiot guy who is always being looked after by somewhere, someone.

Saying that, Noel takes the card put on the crystal tablet off, and puts it into her bosom.

Soon after, the information from above the crystal tablet disappears and returns to being colorless and transparent.

Noel, walks up to her desk, and puts the card inside the drawer.

And recalled, the fight of Minato she was seeing yesterday while hiding in shadows.

In that there were too many things that attracted her.

The body which doesnt get burned even with fire, legs that can electrify, the mysterious magic to enhance someone else, etc

However, the things that she concerned about most is, thoseEyes.

Not having fun with fighting, violence.

Still, not isnt being disappointed.

Not having resolution, nor hesitation.

His eyes are objective to a tremendous extent.

As if the fight was, a scene on a theatre play or drawing made on the page.

His eyes are like that of a theatre play actor, who knows he would have to fight here.

Fortunately, he doesnt think he is a chosen one. But, that in turn accelerates another problem.

It had close resemblance to her moms heroic sagaDaydreamer she told once, thinking that Noel frowned.

(But, Minatos eyes just now were somewhat betterdid he get some trigger for it? To want to face the world seriously)

Noel, who doesnt even know what happened yesterdays night, wont be able to get a clue, but soon enough she stopped thinking.

The thing known asDaydreameris not a easy, and a weak thing, that she would feel relief with his eyes changed a bit only.

It was precisely because her mom knew that, that she requested theSurveillanceandTeachingof her youngest brother.

Different from what Minato recognises and has heard aboutDaydreamer, Noel knows theReal meaningof that word, the danger of that thing, and so she frowns.

For the time being just wait-and-see. I cannot guess how he would grow from now on

Understood. Then, as you wish

After bowing saying that, secretary left the room.

For becoming a help for its master who has taken a troublesome job once again.

However, that secretary has not realized it.

The contents Noel talked about were all truth. Its true that there is a problem with hisStance, his future might change on the way he is guided from now on.

However, that is all about his way of thinking or personality, the things that occur on theInterior.

Strong persisting interacting is needed,

but, in that case, why is the observation ofMagical Powerneeded?

ThePa.s.sshe handed, and theCardshe put in drawer, are in no way related to personality, rather they are used to measure the quant.i.ty and attribute ofMagical Power. No matter how much information she needed, this was way too out of line.

The reasonOnly her mom who wrote the letter, and Noel who is following her mothers orders, know about.

Noel, confirmed that after seeing the information on the crystal tabletright now, in the room she was alone and,

Really, what does this mean, mom?

She heaved a sigh while remembering a certain information on the crystal tablet.
