The black shadow of a flying monster who flying down and targeting , getting bigger and bigger.
Of course, that alerted all of Marquess Roml's knights, who still lined up neatly before my eyes. They looked up at the sky and saw a monster approaching them.
I want to say, they will be fine...
But it seems it's too late to do that...
BBAAAMMM!!
A loud bang ca from the Iron Do protection, the vibrations from the Iron Do magic flowing onto the ground, felt like it was shaking the ground to the point that my balance was a little unsteady.
Luckily, I was holding a magic staff to withstand the shaking of the ground and seeing a nostalgic feelings about this monster, after seeing the monster characteristics in close-range, it made realize that this monster figure was an old friend who was busy with her duties as a Saintess who watched over the sky territories.
Her main body, which was shaped like a dragon with hard red scales, caught my attention, who's not seen this old friend for a long ti.
If I do a rough calculation and take into incidents about my family's decision to go on vacation for a few years, it could be said that we are friends who rarely see each other.
Seven years without seeing each other... that's make us like an old friends who et again, right?
It's almost eight years since we last t, but it's still a few more months away to make it eight years.
"It's been a long ti since we t, Sia," I said to welco Sia's sudden arrival.
This large monster, who flying down toward , turned out to be nothing particularly dangerous. It was the natural response of a friend who sees another friend elsewhere and wants to greet them.
I would do the sa thing if I saw soone I knew in a different place.
But with such a large body flying down at , it's only natural the protective spell like Iron Do would shatter. Fortunately, I'd already cast an additional Iron Do spell, so it had multiple layers of hardness capable of supporting Sia's weight in her dragon form.
"LIIILLLYYY-CCHHAAANN!!"
Sia's scream, still in her dragon form, hurt my ears. Even my twin sister covered their ears as Sia's voice echoed in the open space.
Swooosshhh...
The gust of wind that ca out of Sia's mouth also disrupted the line of Marquess Roml's knights, and so of them fell to the ground.
Twwiittcchh...
Twiittcchh...
Sia's dragon tail moved left and right, as if it were happy to have t .
"I know you're happy to et ."
"But, can you change your body shape first so you don't cause too much harm to others?" I asked Sia, who was stuck on top of the Iron Do, which had cracked after being hit by Sia tail.
Alice and Alyssa hugged my arm tightly as if they didn't know Sia in their childhood.
Uh, that's natural. My relationship with Sia is that of fellow Saintesses who help each other and special friends after performing the Linked Ritual with her.
Yes, soone... who so so so special that I want to keep her as a friend and as a older sister.
I imdiately transford my body into that of a dragon girl, complete with a dragon tail and small dragon horns on my forehead.
Plllaaaappp...
Srrruuttt...
By growing a dragon tail and dragon horns that who knows when they will grow on my forehead, it is enough to show my special relationship with Sia.
The black shadow that covered all of Marquess Roml's knights who were line up, slowly disappeared, revealing Sia's human body, which still showed her dragon physical form, such as a dragon tail and dragon horns on her forehead.
Sohow, it looks so much like .
Is this just a coincidence?
I'm sure not...
Craasshh...
"LIIIIILLLYYY-CHHAANN!!" Sia scread as she destroyed the protective magic I had cast using the dragon tail that grew from her butt.
The swift and powerful slash of her dragon tail seed to shatter the Iron Do's magic with ease. It looked like throwing a rock through a glass window.
Either my magic was too weak, or Sia's power was too great in her human form, she easily destroyed the Iron Do's magic down to the last layer.
Alice and Alyssa's grip on my body also grew tighter.
Could it be related to a figure they hadn't recognized and seeing Sia as a enemies?
I suppose, it was like that, because I wasn't particularly close to my twin sister when we are in childhood phase and not introduce Sia to my twin sister. Our lack of closeness when children phase seems like problematic, in the past.
Even if my twin sister doesn't know Sia or has forgotten her identity as a Saintess who watches over the skies of this world, I simply need to introduce her to my twin sister.
After all, seven years have passed, which is a long ti for anyone to forget soone from the past. Especially for , who wants to forget the horrific events of my past. A past where I was weak and easily bullied, simply because of my light brown skin.
Rembering my dark and weak past, it feels a bit sad to see it from my current position.
I have beco a Saintess and am loved by those close to .
It made feel happy after going through all the hardships caused by my light brown skin. After learning the reasons for my light brown skin, I felt more confident and didn't worry about it anymore.
This light brown skin... is a blessing that makes loved by the Goddesses and other won.
There's no harm in being grateful about this, right?
Because my light brown skin is a sign that I have abundant magical energy, and my body is suited to controlling magic efficiently. There is nothing for this light brown skin to regret...
Srruuusshhh...
Srruuusshh...
Alice and Alyssa, who were hugging my body tightly, felt like they were holding back from approaching Sia, who was destroying the Iron Do magic that was placed in the sky.
I knew they were wary of Sia's sudden appearance and were trying to protect from a problem they didn't known.
Lisa and her triplet Elf nieces had their weapons ready. So, I told them to hold their weapons.
"Lisa, hold your weapon and don't attack my old friend."
"She's... a Saintess too, just like ," I said in a gentle tone to Lisa and her triplet Elf nieces.
I wanted to clear up this misunderstanding by glancing at Mio and nodding my head.
Mio looked confused by my nod.
Like it or not, I had to give Mio a clear command after seeing her confused.
"Mio, explain my relationship with this old friend to my beloved twin sister and Lisa," I said, giving Mio a clear order to explain my relationship with Sia.
"Oh! That's what you an... I understand, Lily-sama. I will explain Lily-sama's relationship with this dragon girl in detail to Alice-sama, Alyssa-sama, and Lady Lisa," Mio replied in a polite tone.
The matter regarding Sia's identity has been handled by Mio. What I have to do now is to welco her arrival, who fell from the sky after destroying the various layers of Iron Do magic.
Crash...
Craasshh...
The sound of the Iron Do magic breaking echoed across the sky, and I had to get ready to catch Sia, who was about to fall from the last layer of Iron Do magic.
I shouldn't have needed to catch Sia when she fell, because her human form as a half-dragon girl has hard scales that can withstand strong shocks.
But... just in case and to prevent anything unwanted, I was forced to volunteer as soone who would catch the cute dragon girl who was falling from the sky.
I stretched out my hand, right under Sia, who was taking a stance to unleash her dragon tail attack, and destroying my last protective magic in one strike.
CRRAASSHH!!
The sound of the Iron Do's magic breaking apart rang out, allowing my vision to slow down again. This made it easier for to position myself to catch Sia as she fell from the sky.
By positioning myself below her, I prepared to catch Sia's body as she fell from the sky in a princess carry style.
Slowly but surely, Sia's body fell from the sky and landed on my hand as if catching it romantically.
It did look romantic, but there were side effects that I had to imdiately endure after catching Sia's body falling from the sky.
My feet that were standing on the ground felt a huge pushing down force, and my feet seed to sink into the ground, as if they were bearing a heavy weight that happened suddenly.
Sllusshh...
When Sia's body landed in my hand, which was catching her, I realized that the weight of Sia's body in her human form was indeed heavy.
The ground I was standing on couldn't support Sia's weight, making the ground I was standing on feel like a soft, muddy depression.
By utilizing the physical strength of my body as a dragon girl, I moved in a circle to shift the center of my body weight so as not to destroy the ground I was standing on.
The heavy weight that fell suddenly, sohow, triggered another idea that was in my head like utilizing the speed and weight of an object can make my cursed Odachi attacks even harder to block or parry.
Yes, that's a really great idea, and just ca to after eting Sia.
"Liiilllyy-chaann!!"
"Oh, my sweet little sister!!"
"I haven't seen you in a long ti!!" exclaid Sia, who looked happy when she t .
Sia, who had fallen into my embrace, imdiately rubbed her head against mine. Because we had small, sensitive horns growing on our foreheads, it felt ticklish for so reason.
Caress...
Caress...
Our heads stroking each other felt like two sisters separated and rarely seen for a long ti. Sia, who had transford into a human girl and hiding her dragon form, was still wearing the Shrine Maiden outfit I had given her as a gift long ago.
It still looked fit for her body and clean, like it had been well cared for by Sia.
"S-Sia, are you not working at the mont?" I asked Sia, who was still stroking her forehead against mine.
"I just finished doing my job as a Saintess... to watching sothing, over the sky," Sia replied as she stopped stroking my forehead and looked at my face.
"No wonder you ca to greet after seeing , being a Saintess who watches over the sky... seems quite tough, huh?"
"Yes, it is indeed difficult, especially to monitor people who deliberately challenge the laws of sky and do things that violate the will of the Goddess."
"I-I understand about... how troubleso it is," I replied, understanding Sia's heavy duty as a Saintess who oversees the sky territories.
