Princess' personal painter

"Yeah." Erin nodded, "It's been confirmed that I can join the battle during the day, right?"

With the help of Jacqueline's magic power and extremely special magical ability, she killed a large number of orcs in a short period of time. At this time, Sisyana fully understood Irene's talent in combat.

But even so, she still couldn't relax, and said softly: "I still think...it's too early, you just awakened not long ago, and you may not be able to use magic proficiently. This kind of thing is too dangerous."

"At this point, does my lord sister still want to dissuade me?" Irene asked back.

Sisyana breathed a sigh of relief, showing a strange smile: "That's right, it's really not worrying at all to accidentally recognize such a wayward sister...In that case, let me tonight Let's test your fighting power..."

When Irene heard this, she became excited all of a sudden: "Do you want to practice duel with me?"

"Yeah." Sisyana nodded, then took Irene's hand, and began to transfer the magic power over, and said amusedly, "This kind of thing... um, mana replenishment? Is this the way it is said? I have never heard of it, I think Thinking about it makes me feel weird, like signing a contract with a strange creature..."

Erin's face turned red all of a sudden.

What the hell are the strange creatures?

Also... please don't emphasize the term "replenishing magic", I will think wrong!

Chapter 48 Love in the Night

The "dual practice" between the two lasted for about half the night.

During this period, Sisyana was amazed by Irene's growth rate. Regarding some skills in the use of magic in combat, there is no need to explain it a second time, and Irene can always understand it immediately.

If Sisyana still had a crushing advantage at the beginning, after an hour or two, Irene would be able to fight her to a certain extent, maintaining a defensive posture and not losing the wind.

Of course, this level of confrontation comes at the cost of consuming a lot of mana.

After exhausting the magic power of the "replenishment" for the third time, Sisyana noticed that the fatigue in Irene's expression was a little obvious, and said softly: "Let's stop here tonight."

Although Irene still wanted to continue, she also felt the burden on her body, nodded and said: "I have benefited a lot, thank you, my lord, for your guidance!"

"I'm sweating all over, let's go over there and wash our bodies."

With that said, Sisyana took Irene's hand, brought the dazed girl to the river, and carefully transmitted some magic power over, saying, "According to what I just said, use magic to maintain the water in the water." Your own body temperature, so you won't catch a cold..."

The clear water of the river is shining brightly under the night sky.

I saw Irene's expression became strange, she lowered her head and asked, "Are we here...to take a bath?"

"It's so late, no one will see it, and I will pay attention to the situation around me." Sisyana said halfway, when she suddenly felt Erin's body getting hot, she blinked and asked, "Hey ? Is this shy? Don't want to wash with me?"

"No." Erin replied in a mosquito-like voice.

"Strange, hasn't Eileen seen my body a long time ago? She also painted a lot of works, which made me blush and heartbeat..." Thinking of some things that happened before, Sisyana said in a funny way He said in a tone, "Fortunately, when I treated you last time, I also looked at your body, so I didn't suffer so much... Poof, I'm just kidding, anyway, there's nothing to be shy about."

Eileen only felt that her mind was in a mess: "But, that's different..."

Sisyana asked puzzledly, "What's the difference?"

Lifting her eyes timidly, Irene answered in a low voice: "The past was the past... Now, I care a lot..."

"What's there to care about, everyone is a girl, I'll show you a demonstration..."

Sisyana said with a smile, then stretched her hands behind her back and began to take off her clothes.

This action made Irene turn her back in a hurry, her ears were stained with a lovely red glow, and she muttered: "At this time, I don't think I'm a girl at all..."

As soon as she finished speaking, her body froze there, and she felt her heart beating clearly.

Accidentally said what was in my heart...won't someone guess something?

Fortunately, Sisyana didn't seem to care about her words.After a short rustle, she seemed to have taken off her clothes, and then Irene heard the girl stepping lightly into the river, and she just joked to herself: "Since my sister holds back Don't watch me take off my clothes, and when you want to take off my clothes, I promise not to peek... Hurry up and go into the water together!"

...It doesn't seem to make a difference whether you peek or not when undressing. Hey!

Erin, who stood there motionless, thought of the other party soaking in the river naked, and subconsciously recalled the appearance of the girl when she was in bed, and felt like tens of thousands of insects were gnawing on her heart, and her heart itched unbearably. .

As if seductive, the sound of gurgling water rubbed against his ears.

For a moment, the thought of bathing with each other almost dominated Irene.

"Well, my lord sister, I...uh, I can't." Irene, who almost agreed, woke up at the last moment, and almost bit her tongue when she spoke.

"Ah? Why not?" Sisyana's tone contained obvious complaints.

With an inexplicable feeling, Irene reached out and touched her cheek, which was still exaggeratedly hot.But she knew that her inner thoughts were much clearer now.

"My sis definitely doesn't understand this kind of thing."

As she said that, Erin sat down on the grass with her back to the girl in the bath, and said in a low voice, "Actually, I'm really happy to be able to get closer to you and be invited to take a bath together... ...There are some things like shyness, but that's not the main reason..."

"What's the real reason?" Sisyana asked puzzled.

"Because I'm not what my sister thinks I'm an ordinary girl of this age... Even if I try to convince myself not to think so much, it's good to be a little maid by my sister's side, but such a simple thing doesn't make me happy. But it can't be done..."

With her hands on the grass, Eileen looked up at the dreamlike starlight, and continued to speak out what she was thinking in euphemistic language: "Sister, you have already felt it, no matter what I think , or the strange ability after I awakened...there is a big gap with the me that my sis first met..."

"I've deliberately deceived you for so long, I'm really sorry..."

The sound of the water behind her had completely disappeared, and the girl bathing in the water, the almost flawless Princess Her Royal Highness, was listening to her words seriously.

The light night wind blows in, and the sweat that has soaked the clothes clings to the body.

The coolness in the wind calmed down the restlessness completely.Irene pursed her lips for a while, and then said in a confiding tone: "...so, in such a special me, I still have a lot of unspeakable secrets in my heart, and I may do something that will surprise my lord sister... I want to know, if I have such or such extravagant hopes in the future, can my lord sister forgive me?"

This is the first time that Erin has revealed her "true feelings" to the other party.

Even though she chose a very subtle way, she knew that while expressing these feelings, she also allowed herself to establish something very important——

There is a certain line that she cannot cross now.

Irene could feel that if she couldn't resist the temptation to cross that line now, her relationship with Sisyana might stop at the level of "best friend" or "sister" forever, and what she expected "Another possibility", the chances will be even slimmer.

Just like Unica is now.

...My sis, I'm sorry...Because my extravagant expectations don't stop there.

Even if I am a girl now, I have been protected by you all the time, and I still want to have the chance to pursue you.

"So, that's my reason... Well, I'm sorry, it's obviously just me talking to myself and saying something inexplicable... But even so, my sis can definitely forgive me, that's right Bar?"

Chapter 49 The root of the bond between each other

After listening to Erin's confession, Sisyana sighed softly, and said: "Really, you just refuse to take a bath with me, and you still have to say these strange things, you know it will bother me Ah." After a pause, she looked at Irene's stubborn back and said, "But, this is the fate between us... Under such circumstances, can you still chat with me?"

"Well, let's talk like this." Erin nodded.

Even though she couldn't see Sisyana's face, Eileen knew that she must be looking at her at this time, so she couldn't help feeling a little relieved.

"Actually, I can't help but think about another possibility." Sisyana closed her eyes, relaxed her body, and let the cool river water flow over her skin, "If I hadn't If I met the "star prophet" who reminded me, if I didn't awaken and become a magician later...how would I live now? Erin, what do you think?"

Erin didn't know how to answer the conversation for a moment.

Sisyana said to herself: "The answer is obvious. If I don't know magic, when the family asks me to abide by the tradition and marry a foreign country, I have no room to resist at all. In the same way, if I don't have enough strength, I can't do anything when I meet you for the second time. I can't save the residents of that city, and I can't save you, right? ?”

Erin nodded: "Why are you talking about this all of a sudden?"

"It turns out that none of the 'what ifs' mentioned above are true... The reality is that what I have done in the past six months is full of incredible things in the eyes of most people, right?"

"Well, because my sis is a genius." Irene said sincerely.

"Genius... Sure enough, even you think so." Sisyana smiled softly, "Almost everyone thinks of me like this—" That person who loves art too much has never seriously cultivated The little princess Wakabayashi who used to be able to have such strength is due to her talent'. Even Eunika, who has always been by my side, acquiesced to this statement and never questioned my strength."

Erin was slightly taken aback, and caught something faintly.

Sisyana went on to say: "But, if it's Irene, you should be able to find something, right? Didn't you spend the whole night studying my magic power at that time? Also, I gave you so much 'replenishing magic' This time, you should be the one who understands my magic characteristics best."

Irene thought for a while, and finally shook her head: "I can't think of..."

"I thought that with your ingenuity, you would definitely be able to discover my secret." Sisyana sighed faintly and reminded, "Do you still remember what I told you? The paths explored are all unique. Erin, you are like this now, and I am no exception."

Irene was taken aback for a moment, and asked in a low voice: "What is the path that my lord sister is exploring?"

"Remember when we first met?"

Of course Irene remembered very clearly that when Sisyana first met, she made a rather strange request for a "sketch sketch", which also contributed to the indissoluble bond between the two.

While concentrating on thinking, the clear night flowed quietly.

After a long while, after correlating many facts, Irene had basically confirmed a certain answer, and asked aloud: "... Is appreciating art the way of my sister's practice?"

"The answer is correct." Sisyana nodded and said, "Actually, before I met you, I was aware of your specialness in advance. When I accidentally saw the paintings decorated in the hotel, That kind of unheard of atmosphere, as if from a distant country, made me very interested in the painter from the very beginning!"

"Hey, can you be so sensitive?" Irene was startled.

"Artists will habitually infuse thoughts and emotions so that they can be reflected in their works. Even if they try to cover up, they will eventually leave traces. I am very good at appreciating art." Sisi The corner of Yana's mouth curled into a smile, "So when I saw you in person, I was taken aback. It was a bit different from what I imagined."

Irene asked in a low voice: "What kind of person does my lord sister imagine me to be?"

"I won't talk about this kind of thing now." With a playful tone, Sisyana squinted her eyes and continued, "So, I thought at that time, anyway, this The painter is a cute girl, she looks completely harmless, so I just ask her to help me solve my doubts."

Recalling the first time they met, Irene's cheeks turned red again: "My lord sister said to solve the confusion... Could it be..."

"Going out on a trip before the wedding date, it's something to relax, but it's actually an escape." Sisyana breathed a sigh of relief and said, "During that time, I was really confused. As Ruolin's princess, It is very natural to realize my value by marrying out. But, I can't help but think that I am a magician who is one in a million, so I am not reconciled to become a man's vassal like this Woolen cloth……"

Irene said seriously: "I will not agree to become a man's vassal or something."

Sisyana smiled and said: "Of course I can refuse the pursuit of men at will, but half a year ago, I didn't have the capital to be willful... I am confused about my identity, I don't know what I really want to pursue, and I feel confused about the future. I'm at a loss. This confusion about myself has also become a knot in my heart, which has caused me to fall into a bottleneck in my magic practice, and I have stagnated for more than half a year..."

"That's why you... **sketch?"

"That's for better self-awareness through art." Sisyana explained softly, "I found the answer right away after seeing the pictures you drew... So , I am really lucky, when I was most confused, I met you who can guide me. "

Irene's mood became throbbing: "What is the 'answer' my sister saw?"

"The pursuit of pure 'beauty'." Sisyana revealed the answer at the same time, even if she was as plain as her, a faint blush appeared on her beautiful face, "I know that in the eyes of others, I can With such a perfect existence, I gradually realized some things, and the shackles in my heart were lifted... After that, I enjoyed the next journey with all my heart, and the bottleneck of magic also broke through. Wonderful adventure...”

After a pause, she asked softly, "So, do you still think I'm a genius now?"

In Irene's perception, Sisyana has been ranked among the top powerhouses in the mainland since she was 16 years old, and she is a peerless genius in magic—but isn't that the case?

"What my lord sister wants to say is, is it because of my paintings?"

"Yes, it is your magical paintings that made me re-understand myself and make myself more perfect according to the image you copied. In a sense, you changed me , promoted the appearance of the later 'Blue Saintess'...and, when we met for the second time, it was also your appearance that prompted me to make the decision at that time, allowing me to obtain the current free body."

"Because of me?"

Sisyana said softly: "In that situation, I have no reason not to save you, so I will do it no matter what...even if there is no excuse at the time."

After a moment of silence, Irene asked again: "But, my sis also doubted me?"

"Well, because you are so special that people can't see through them at all." Sisyana's tone was apologetic, "As you said yourself, whether it's your mysterious identity or Whether it's your unusual magic talent, or some strange places in your paintings... many things are beyond common sense, and I can't help but doubt it from my standpoint. Sometimes I'm really scared, If the whole thing is a huge conspiracy, what should I do..."
