".........… tsu!? Fuaaa!?"
Sister Claire who was enjoying her freedom by gulping alcohol like it was
water suddenly let out a strange voice.
Her bodyguard, the female knight Sylvia looked back while wondering what
could be the matter. She found Sister Claire turning bright red while pressing
her hands on her cheeks.
"Why are you turning bright red like that? Are you drinking too much
alcohol? Or perhaps the snack that you filched from the village was
unexpectedly spicy?"
Sylvia asked with a tone that sounded half exasperated. She was surprised by
Sister Claire's state but she thought it would be just something stupid again
anyway.
"No, that's, it's..."
Sister Claire looked extremely flustered for some reason.
"I got a divine message just now... it seems you and I will become
sisters..."
"Sisters?"
Sylvia was startled to hear that.
Them becoming sisters.
The meaning of that was clear.
"I-in other words, you just saw who my marriage partner is going to be?"
Sister Claire and Sylvia were childhood friends, but they were still unrelated
by blood.
They both were the only child of their respective family. For them to become
sisters with each other could only be achieved by marrying two brothers
somewhere.
Sylvia had been raised with tough and strict upbringing since her childhood,
but as a girl in that age there was no way she wouldn't become curious about
her future husband.
"W-what kind of person he is? You said that you saw the possibility of
becoming the husband of that young man Eriol, so perhaps it's his big
brother...?"
"Eh? Aaa, no no, it's not something like that."
Sister Claire's face stayed bright red as she shook her head at Sylvia's words.
"We will be sisters but to be more accurate... as pole sisters."
".........… Ha?"
"What's more it seems that the one who will make us sisters will be that
Eriol-sama... w-what to do? I don't mind being together with that Eriolsama but, for me to get into that kind of relationship with you... it's, really
unexpected..."
"Hold on! That won't happen, definitely not! No matter what that kind of
outrageous…!? Just what in the world would happen that such future can
come true!?... Ah, that's right! You're just playing prank on me again
aren't you!? Let me tell you that I still haven't forgotten how you told me a
lie {The dinner will surely be Redbone Bull's meat if you run a lap around
the church while wearing panty on your head without being seen by anyone}
when we were children!"
"I think the fault for that lied more on you for believing something like
that... no, more importantly, this divine message is real. W-what do we
do..."
"Impossible! I won't believe you this time!"
Sister Claire was in a dither with bright red face, while Sylvia kept being in
denial "Besides your divine revelation isn't something absolute!".
The two who were filled with embarrassment and confusion kept clamoring
noisily for a while after that.
