don’t handle people properly is that it’ll only tire me out if I do otherwise, and that was something I learned from sister, wasn’t it?

Laila, who brought Horun here, together have thought up a plan.
The one who has an empty schedule is Lexton.
Since my room is narrow, we meet up with Laila who’s waiting outside then go to the diner around here.

As we reached our table, Lexton smiled at me 「Long time no see, Eil」.

…Hmm.

He’s Lexton the village’s number two’s idiot, yet his impression of being an idiot is mostly gone.
He looks like a young man with a refreshing smile.
An intellectual… or not, I can’t tell, but he has a calm demeanor.
He’s a year older than my sister, so either 18 or 19, huh.
It might be because he has experienced many things in the royal capital, and has grown mature as a person.

「What’s with that megane? You’ve been doing good?」

「Don’t mind the megane.
You too, seem to be doing fine.」

Lexton had been training since he was a child, saying that he wanted to be an adventurer.
Although he drew a normal 「talent」 in the Ceremony of Determination, he left the village in that very day for the royal capital.
I think he returned to the village once in the last three years since he left.

 

However, while indeed he’s close with sister, he isn’t as much close to me, so I didn’t see him nor talk with him when he returned.
I was also busied with my learning to be a hunter back then.

「I didn’t expect you would join up with Horun.」

「Neither did I.
I didn’t expect we’ll hang out together even after I went to the royal capital.」

Although, the Horun in question is currently browsing the menu with a dead-serious face on her.
She was certainly wondering which dish has the most meat in it, or which meat she’ll eat.
She’s always been such a serious fellow when it comes to food since the past.

「Are you also a member of 『Black Swan of Dawn』, Lexton?」

「Yeah.
That being said, I’m still treated as an underdog tho.
I finally become a One Star adventurer just recently.

Heeh.
Well, with his physique being like that, he’s also quite skilled, so they must have been anticipating growth from him.

Well, let’s put the matter with Lexton aside.
As a relative, I’m more curious about my sister’s condition than his.

「Why does Horun have a second name like 『Saintess』 that doesn’t suit her?」

That’s what I’m most curious about.
In the end, what is this 「Saintess of Demon Exorcism」  thing? Is it a cynicism that caused by misinformation?

「It’s because she’s been accepting every request that comes from people in need of help.
She doesn’t hesitate to accept a difficult job without giving a glance to the reward, you see.
She’s always like that.」

That’s right.
Horun is always that kind of person since the beginning.
She’s the type that will come to help anyone in trouble, even if she is told as being meddlesome.
She’s the person who will give 「Shut up, idiot」 as opposed to someone who says it’s something tough or annoying.
She’s someone who will offer hands and help the elderly every here and there then go to play around soon after as if she doesn’t know fatigue.

That’s why I say she has the caliber to be a big-shot.
She’s too honest with her desires and instinct to a fearsome degree that the conclusion of her being an 「idiot」 is wasted on her.

I see, so she does the same thing even in the royal capital, then got called a 『Saintess』 huh.
…Though I think calling her as a simplistic beast is definitely more fitting.

「I know saying this now is a bit useless.」

 

While we’re in the middle of talk between fellow villagers from the same hometown, Laila who had been minding not to intrude joined us.

「You see, my village was facing trouble last year.
We sought help from the Adventurer’s Guild.
It was Horun-oneesama who took the initiative and made a move for us.」

Aah, is that so.
If that’s the case, then it’s no wonder she’s calling her Onee-sama and yearning for her.

「Right, Horun-oneesama?」

「Shut up.
Talk to me after I’m done choosing the meat.」

Unchanging as ever.
The part where she takes no notice of Laila’s smile or the part where meals take more priority than talking to her brother she hasn’t met in two years.

「Dad and mom are worried… not really, but they are thinking about you.
You never come home in the last two years after all.」

「Shut up.
Talk to me after I choose whether goat meat or deer meat to eat.」

Yeah.

There is no doubt, she’s my sister.
