Release
“……are you serious, Lei?”
Alexia asks me whether I’m serious because what I said was too unbelievable. Kana and Mari-chan also look at me like they can’t believe it.
I suppose so. To think that the thing that they’d trusted and worn for nearly two years, was actually something that they mustn’t wear. But there’s no mistaking it with this bangle.
“There’s no mistaking it. Although the commands applied to it are, fewer than a Restriction Collar, this is something similar to that”
“N, no way……”
Looks like Kana and Mari-chan are both speechless from the shock. However, I suppose the fact that they didn’t realise it until now, means they hadn’t been ordered or whatnot.
I suppose they were probably, thinking of using it when the Hero group disobey them. ……nevertheless, the sole fact that they’re wearing it pisses me off.
“Geez, Lei, calm down”
“Aah”
Perhaps she could tell that I’m angry, Alexia holds my hand. Chrona is holding it on the other side and looking up at me. Fuu, I calmed down. It’s pointless even if I snap at the Empire. First and foremost, I have to do something about the bangles.
“I’ll remove the Kana and Mari-chan’s bangles from now on. Will there be any problem if I remove them?”
“You probably can’t remove them by force, but it’ll probably be fine with Lei’s that”
Alright, I received Alexia’s assurance as well. The two of them look over here with curious faces, but give me a second. I’ll call that fellow from the domain.
◇◇◇
“Light-san, can you bring these documents over there?”
“Yes, Helen-sa……oops, my apologies, Helen-sama. I have been summoned. I will be heading out for a bit”
“Eeh. Ah, he’s off. Did something happen to Lei-san and the others in the Empire?”
◇◇◇
“Light, come!”
I shout, and it starts shining in front of me. And then Light, who had stayed behind at the domain, appears before my eyes. Kana and Mari-chan make a surprised expression at Light, who suddenly appeared.
“Did you summon me, Lei-sama”
“Aah, I want to remove the bangle they’re wearing on their arm with『The One Who Severs』”
“Understood”
I move closer to the two’s side, crouch down, and grab their right arm that’s wearing the bangle.
“Kana, Mari-chan. I’ll remove the bangle from now on. Well, it’ll be fine, there’s no pain or whatnot”
I say and the two of them nods at me. I first hold Kana’s Restriction Bangle and look at Light. When Light activates『The One Who Severs』, my right hand that’s holding the Restriction Bangle starts shining.
That light flows into the bangle bit by bit. And then when the light of『The One Who Severs』completely covers the entire bangle, it made a ‘pakin‘ sound, and the bangle came off.
When I check the spot where Kana’s bangle had been worn, Kana gets ticklish. Bear with it for a bit. ……alright, looks like there’s nothing abnormal in particular.
“Kana, is there anywhere that feels strange?”
“……un, I am fine, Nii-san”
Kana answers me with a smile. Un, I’m glad. There’s nothing strange with her Magic Power either. Alright, next is
“Mari-chan is next. Stick your left arm out”
“Ah, ye, yes”
……I wonder why she’s blushing? Well, whatever. I grab the bangle like I did with Kana. I then pour my Magic Power in. My hand starts shining, and that light gradually covers the bangle.
When the light completely covers the entire bangle like just now, it made a ‘bachin‘ sound, and the bangle came off. Alright. All that’s left is to check if there’s any problem in particular……she looks fine as far as I can see.
“Mari-chan, do you feel strange anywhere?”
“……”
……nn? There’s no response. I raise my face and the face of Mari-chan, who’s looking at me blankly. I wonder why she’s blanking out? Is there any abnormality or something?
“Mari-chan, are you alright?”
“Eh!? Ye, yesh!”
I wonder why she’s blushing? She doesn’t seem to have a fever even when I touch her forehead and check.
“Are you really alright? If anything feels strange……”
“N, noo! I I I, I am finee!”
Saying that, Mari-chan moves away from me with tremendous speed. ……aah, I guess she’d gone red in anger because I touched her. I ended up doing something horrible.
“Again, Lei……haa”
“Uuu, even Mari-chan finds Nii-san……”
Alexia and Kana are saying something, but I don’t quite understand. Well, there’s nowhere strange in particular as far as I can see, so it’s probably fine.
“Fuu, it worked out somehow. Light, thanks. You’re a great help”
“No, I am glad I am of assistance. Well then, I will be returning”
Light said and ended up disappearing. ……I just called him normally, but he sure is able to go back and forth even though there’s quite a bit of distance huh. Spirits sure are mysterious.
“Are the other Heroes also wearing the bangle just now?”
“Yes. It was handed over by His Majesty when we first came to this world”
I pick up the bangle that fell on the ground. It’s an ordinary bangle if you look at it normally, but when you investigate it in detail, incantations have been written on the inner side of the bangle.
“Now then, what should we do”
I suppose they’ll probably, realise that Kana and Mari-chan aren’t wearing it right away. It’s pointless to keep quiet about it.
“Are you going?”
“I suppose I’ll have to go. It’ll turn into a battle in the worst-case scenario. Chrona, quickly go to where General Melia is. Maririn, follow Chrona”
“Understood, Lei-sama!”
『Understood, Aruji-sama』
Chrona hurriedly leaves the room. I can tell that Maririn is following behind her. Well, it’d be the best if it doesn’t come to that though.
◇◇◇
“Hey! Lily-chan! Wake up and let’s go!”
“……what a pain……”
“Geezz! Everybody finally woke up, so let’s do it seriously at the start at least!”
“Now, now, Erase. Please calm down. We’re only going to declare war, so just being around is good enough. Well then, Kurono-sama. Shall we go”
“Aah. With this, I’ll be the God of the world……”
