CHAPTER 61: ONEE-SAN’S TROUBLE
10 min read2,530 words
After having her hair tied up by the Onee-san in the bathroom, Mira stands up on the edge of the bath and slowly gets in.Her cheeks loosen from the warmth of hot water on her feet.She avoided the place where women occupied and went to secure a corner where she could enjoy the view of the Japanese garden.
『A splendid view ~ja ~no』(Mira)
The public bath and the ground continue to spread out in an ornamental pond garden.At this time of the night, a fire is lit on the sarcophagus (stone lantern),It illuminates the garden so that you can walk instead of crawling in the night with your hand.
The colorful light majestically reflects on the clean pond.There are moss stones and pine trees in the surrounding area.In the back of the row of pine trees, bamboo fences were lined up and added more colors to the whole picture.The sound of water resonating with the bamboo cylinder shakes the quietness of the dim garden and disappears like a foam.
As Mira relaxed in the bath in the quiet night, she turned her body to change her posture, and then…
『Oh!?Since when were you here』(Mira)
It’s the Onee-san who helped Mira tie her hair, she was relaxing in the bath right next to Mira.The Onee-san seems to have closed her eyes to relax. As she noticed Mira, she smiled in a gentle manner to greet her.
『I have been there for a long time. You finally noticed me』(Onee-san)
The Onee-san joyfully said so.Mira looked at her face. Mira somehow shook her temptation, turned her face away and stayed on the edge of the bath.
『Well then, is something the matter?』(Mira)
『Well, I don’t really need anything.But rather than staying alone, I want to spend time with you』(Onee-san)
Actually, this Onee-san is loving her Imouto way too much.She simply wanted to take care of and spoil Mira like she was her Imouto.She just had a fateful encounter with Mira, got permission to take care of Mira’s hair, and now she realized she wanted to wash Mira’s back as well.
And when she was about to ask, she noticed the silver armlet shining on Mira’s left arm.Then, the color of her pupil changed sharply. (From love-struck to serious mode)
『Now that I look at it closely, isn’t it an operator’s bracelet?Are you an advanced adventurer?』(Onee-san)
She tried to lean over and looked at Mira’s left arm.
『Mu~, Ah… that’s right (So~ja~na)』(Mira)
Mira isn’t used to the name “operator’s bracelet” yet, not to mention, the Onee-san is too close, so she is somewhat discomposed.After calmly thinking for a while, she realized it was about the Bracelet on her left arm and replied.The Onee-san’s eyes are sparkling as she heard Mira’s reply.
『Amazing.The Operator’s bracelet is amazing.I heard it was very convenient.However, I’m only D rank now. I’m almost ready to become C rank.How nice, I really yearn for it』(Onee-san)
The Onee-san came to the front of Mira with an innocent expression and saying so.Then, after gazing (checking) at Mira’s whole naked body, she looked at Mira full of expression.

『Uhm, your name… (Kimi no na wa), Ah… I am Aselia.How should I call you?』(Aselia)
『I am Mira ~ja.Just call me Mira.』(Mira)
Noticing that she has been rude for asking other’s people name without introducing herself first, Aselia introduced herself properly and Mira responded while looking at the garden (Avoid looking at Aselia’s naked body)
『Un, I understand.So Mira-chan.Can you tell me your class?』(Aselia)
Taking more interest in Mira than before, Aselia gradually narrows her distance and tries to stay in front of Mira.As Mira feels Aselia’s breath next to her face, her heart jumped.Mira tried to suppress it with the calm atmosphere of the garden and replied “Summoner ~ja”
『Hee… A summoner… I have never seen any summoner, I wonder if there are many advanced one』(Aselia)
Aselia admired it honestly and raised her impression.Aselia also had heard about the current status of the summoner class.It’s the situation that there’s no new strong summoner in decades.Still, if there is such a person, Aselia will be a little happy to know about it.It’s because she feels her world is expanding.
『By the way, I am a Holy Knight!』(Aselia)
Aselia claims so.Listening to Aselia’s class, Mira is reminded of her friend’s face.
『Hoo… a Holy Knight? It would be the same as Solomon ~ja~na』(Mira)
King Solomon of the Alkite Kingdom was also a Holy Knight.Mira just said that without any deep meaning but when Aselia heard it, she had a face like a child.
『Did you also understand it?I have heard from Mama the story of Solomon-sama since childhood.I have been longing to be like him since then. That’s why I chose the same class as Solomon-sama』(Aselia)
Was she embarrassed or was she shy? But it’s more like she was happy and twisted her body.For Aselia, who has been listening to Solomon’s folklore as a holy knight instead of a lullaby, she worshiped Solomon as a hero over nine wise men.And instead of longing to become a Holy Knight like Solomon, it becomes her future goal and she finally reaches it now.
『Hoo~
You are longing for him…But that guy has an unusual way of fighting ~ja~ga,How did you fare?』(Mira)
Mira remembered the invincible aggression of Solomon’s Holy Knight at the time. She felt uneasy as to whether Aselia has largely deviated from the royal road of the Holy Knight.
『I’m still aiming to be like him, I’m still not there yet though』(Aselia)
Aselia replied so and she suddenly confronted Mira with a serious look.
『By the way, Mira-chan.From a while ago, you didn’t call Solomon-sama with an honorific.You called him, that guy.Don’t call the king like that.Especially with Solomon-sama!』(Aselia)

It’s good advice or rather it’s common sense.Although Solomon is the King of a small country, there’s no one who doesn’t know about the arts at the top of the Arkite kingdom,He is a great man who deserves respect.
For people with common sense, Solomon is a great existence.But for Mira, who has been playing with Solomon for years, he is a close friend.If Mira isn’t conscious of it, she will call him naturally with just his name.
(Solomon-sama….. Hmmm, I only feel discomfort…) (Mira)
『For now, it sounds weird to call him with an honorific…』(Mira)
After trying a simulator in her head, Mira leaks out her thought unconsciously.
Then, Aselia’s eyes became sharper as she brought her face closer to confront Mira, it made Mira flustered.
『How can you say it like that…Somehow you have a friendly, familiar toneDon’t tell me you are acquainted with Solomon-sama?Wait, I don’t think that’s true!…Hey, no way』(Aselia)
Even though she seems to be joking, her eyes are serious.Aselia is determined not to leave until she hears Mira’s explanation properly.
She expressed her attitude by grasping Mira’s shoulders. And she pulled her face closer that their noses almost touched each other.When she was approached by a naked woman this close, Mira couldn’t hide her upset. She shook her head vertically with rounded eyes.
『I know him even before he became a king.He is like a friend of mine ~ja ~na』(Mira)
Mira was pushed by Aselia’s momentum and she stated the truth without hiding fine dust.On the other hand, Aselia stared at Mira with a suspicious look.
『It must have been over thirty years before Solomon became king.No matter how you look at it, Mira-chan doesn’t seem to be over thirty.』(Aselia)
『Well, it would be the same with Solomon』(Mira)
Just as Mira says, Solomon remains as a boy while continuing to reign as a king.Aselia was convinced “indeed” and she looked at Mira’s body without hesitation.
『But as far as I see, Mira is an average human.There are no characteristics like the elves or fairies…』(Aselia)
At first, Aselia thought about the possibility that Mira is a long-lived species.However, Mira’s own body has no such feature.There are no signs of the long-lived species known to the world, such as the long-eared Elves and the fairy wings.
『Please excuse me for a bit』(Aselia)
Aselia leans her head forward and says so while lifting Mira’s upper lip with her finger.There are aligned white teeth. Aselia can’t find the characteristic of a Vampire, sharp canines.

(Say no to content thief!)
In front of the doubting Aselia, Mira herself has also wondered what kind of race the players like Solomon and Luminaria will be classified. So that Mira can answer Aselia.But Aselia immediately murmured the answer.
『Then. as expected, Mira-chan is really the same as Solomon-sama, the Celestial Human!』(Aselia)
Even while being upset, Aselia still suppressed her voice to hear-able volume.Mira was pondering with the unfamiliar word “Celestial Human?“
『That’s right, Mira-chan』(Aselia)
『It’s good that you already calmed down.So what is the Celestial Human in the first place ~no ~koto ~ja?』(Mira)
Mira managed to get some distance by removing Aselia’s hands on her shoulders and pushed Aselia back a little. Then Mira asked Aselia.At that moment, Aselia lost her momentum with “Arere” and looked at Mira’s whole body again
『Ntt.The Celestial Human are people like Solomon-sama. Somehow they appeared in this world at the same time (Open beta).Unlike long-lived species, their body is the same as an ordinary person, but they are the race whose appearance remains unchanged with time passing. The kings of many countries have their attention to this celestial race.I have heard that a lot of them are powerful adventurers, skillful craftsmen, and famous people.There was a talk about they are the messengers of the Heaven』(Aselia)
『Hmm, so that is the High Human you are talking about』(Mira)
In other words, Mira believed that the Celestial Human was actually former players.Certainly, if their appearance didn’t change for thirty years, people would start to have some doubts.They were neither ordinary human nor long-lived species.
After that, people started to wonder if they are some kind of monster (bakemono) or demon (mamono). Somehow or another, they were settled as a new race. Mira has a wry smile, imagining the uproar at that time.
Mira’s imagination is almost spotted on.
When people started to feel suspicious, the former players also started working with peopleThey declared themselves as a new race that descended from heaven to earth, a celestial race.Because of their unusual abilities and reliability, the Celestial Human was recognized by the whole world.
『So, how about it?』(Aselia)
『It may be so ~n ~ja~rou.I don’t really know…But I have the evidence that I’m acquainted with Solomon.』(Mira)
As she said that, Mira brought out the medal which has proven effective in place of ID card.Mira heard that people would understand that Solomon has approved the person with this medal.Aselia who observes every corner of the medal with the curious expression.Then her eyes were opened wide as she found something.
『Uwa, that’s true.The name of Solomon is engraved.That means Mira is really a Celestial.』(Aselia)
In fact, the medal had the name of Solomon inscribed with a special form letter for awarding.Mira wouldn’t notice it, but it was common sense for Aselia, who worships Solomon.As a result, Mira’s medal is the absolute proof for Aselia.Aselia returned to the medal even though she greedily wanted to hold on it a little more.
『This is the first time I have seen a Celestial up close.Your skin is so beautiful and cute,As expected, the heavenly people are something else』(Aselia)
As Aselia said that, she looked at Mira again with a dignified expression.For Aselia, the fact that Mira is the same race as Solomon, the philosopher by itself is worth-respecting.

And in the case of the Celestial beings, it would be no wonder the girl in front of her eyes knew Solomon even before he became the king.
『Mira-chan… No, Mira-sama.I have a favor to ask.If you know Solomon-sama in the old days, could you please tell me how Solomon did his training…?』(Aselia)
Aselia suddenly changed her way of calling Mira and despite being in the bath, she prostrated underwater.And the surrounding female customers started looking at Mira’s direction. Mira couldn’t bear their gaze so…
『I get it. I will tell you as much as you want so please spare me any of this!』(Mira)
Mira pulled Aselia out of the hot water while saying so.However, because she was underwater, apparently she didn’t hear Mira’s words clearly.
『I will teach you so much as you want, so give me a break already!』(Mira)
Mira cried so as to suppress her swirling emotion from feeling the softness of Aselia’s body.
『Really!?No, is that true?!Thank you very much!』(Aselia)
『 You can talk to me the same as before.I’m just an adventurer, even if I’m a celestial.I’m not different from you』(Mira)
As Mira said so, she turned her face toward the garden again as if to cool her red hot cheeks.
『U~n, I understand.If Mira-chan says so, I will do so. So, how did Solomon-sama train?』(Aselia)
Aselia sits on her knees in the bath.It’s an attitude like saying that she won’t miss any word.Her eyes are full of expectations, but they also have some dark shadows.
『I don’t mind telling you but why do you want to hear about it ~ga~ru~n~ja?It doesn’t seem to be just an interest ~yashino~u.To be honest, in the past he had a very quiet way of fighting ~otta~zo』(Mira)
『I’m sorry…Actually, I’m struggling to grow now.Since I reached the middle-rank D, there were a lot of things that didn’t work well.Look, here, here … here, and here too.The potions also cost money and the request doesn’t go well.』(Aselia)
As Aselia said so, she pointed to the scars on the body and showed Mira.Mira only confirmed the wounds on her shoulder and her flank, she avoided looking at the front wounds.
『As I said earlier,I longed for Solomon-sama and chose to be a Holy Knight.But recently, I don’t know how to be strong like Solomon-sama』(Aselia)
Aselia became depressed as she said that.
『Become like Solomon.It will be a difficult road, I think you’d better not follow ~ja ~gana』(Mira)
『I have met various holy knights so I already knew it.But I still longed for Solomon-sama after all.So, please.Tell me anything you know so that I can use them as a reference.』(Aselia)
Aselia has a feeling of helplessness.The so-called advancing to C-rank. Because there is an invisible wall between C and D.There are monsters that can’t be dealt with power or wisdom.The D-rank has a mix of various requests and Aselia is trying her best to advance from there.
『Well, I understood.Speaking of which, you are longing for Solomon.So, did you get the attribute sword?』(Mira)
As for Mira, she can’t say anything more than this other than “Do your best”
Mira relaxed and thought she had a good souvenir story for Solomon.
