In the world of Type-Moon, start by becoming Morgan's husband!

For a moment, Ian didn't know how to respond to what Pulelati said.

He felt as if he was caught up in a very interesting topic.

But the silence didn't last long.

Because the girl in front of him soon looked at him.

"By the way, you guys are going back to the village in the north, right?"

"……Correct."

"very good."

Pulelati grabbed Ian's sleeve.

"Just take me with you~"

210. Threesome/Hirohime's Regret/The Delayed Magician (4k)

"I reject."

Ian answered without any hesitation.

"Plerati, I'm sorry I can't agree to such a strange thing."

Ian was not stupid enough to let a girl of unknown origin follow him and Jeanne back to Domremy Village.

That was not what he expected.

however--

As if he had known that he would be rejected by Ian, Pulelati answered calmly.

"That's not surprising at all~"

“When you go out, you always meet all kinds of people… Some people make me feel interesting, and some people make me feel bored.”

"And you're one of those people that I find interesting."

"And because I find it interesting, I think it's worth a try to go back to the village in the north with you. Is there anything wrong with that?"

"Of course that's not right." Ian was not fooled by the purple-haired girl's words.

"It is indeed your freedom to think of me as you wish."

"But it doesn't mean that I have to accept whatever you want to do. The two are not something that can be mixed together."

"Oh~" Pulelati held up his face and nodded, "Now that you put it that way, it seems to be true."

"It seems that you have to take out something that you think I can take back with me~"

Plerati once again showed that terrifying smile.

"How about I ensure your safety along the way?"

"..."

[You don’t think this kind of promise means anything to you.]

[And if you really want to be realistic, do you think you can ensure that your adopted sister returns to Domremi Village safely even without Plelaty in front of you?]

[But you are somewhat curious about why Pulelati dared to make such a promise. ]

[She interpreted this curiosity as you thinking that the “chips” she threw out were not enough.]

"That--"

Pulelati patted the bag on his waist, and the sound of gold coins colliding came from inside.

"I will cover your expenses along the way."

"By the way-"

"Answer the questions you want to know about the magician."

"In this case, you should think that I am someone suitable to be taken back to the village, right?"

"..."

[Pulerati's words have made you more cautious.]

[Because you know that the more anxious a person is to accomplish something, the more it shows that he has an urgent need for it. ]

[It's just like how I wanted to gather information about that English magician so badly, but it was actually all for my adopted sister.]

【But you also realize a possibility that is not unlikely. 】

[That is, the Preladi in front of him might really choose to do this because he thinks he is interesting. ]

[After all, from the moment you met her, she never showed any normal reaction. ]

[You hesitated——because you really wanted to get information about the magician.]

"Give me one night to think about it."

Ian said this, then stood up and walked towards the room where he and his sister were staying.

As he looked at his receding back, Pulelati gave a rather terrifying smile.

She didn't tell him a thing.

The "interesting" she mentioned is not such a simple concept.

[You return to the door of the room you stayed in with Jeanne.]

You wanted to sneak in quietly.

【But the moment you opened the door, you saw an unexpected scene. 】

Joan of Arc, who was originally sleeping on the bed, had sat up at some point and was looking at Ian who had just opened the door with a sullen look on her face.

"elder brother!"

"Why did you go out while I was sleeping...are you going to meet some wild woman?!"

"..."

Looking at the angry Joan of Arc, Ian didn't hesitate and started to explain directly.

"I wanted to go out for a walk because I couldn't sleep."

"I did meet a girl, though."

"Just listen to me first—"

He sat down next to her and told her what had just happened.

[You told your step-sister Jeanne what happened in the hall. ]

[Of course, you only selectively told some of them. You did not tell Jeanne about the promises that Plerati made later.]

【She seemed a little surprised to learn all this. 】

"This..." The blonde girl seemed to have forgotten how to blink after practicing, "Did the English actually hire such a great magician?"

"Yes."

Ian nodded, indicating that his stepsister was right.

"So she might be able to provide us with some useful intelligence... maybe it will be useful someday in the future."

Joan of Arc is definitely not the kind of person who would make trouble for no reason.

She understood her brother's difficulties and her anger soon subsided.

"I understand."

"In that case—"

"Let her go back with us to Domremi Village."

"Well, that's all."

【You and Jeanne have reached a consensus. 】

【You spent a peaceful night. 】

[You were going to tell Pulelati about this the next day.]

【However--】

When the first ray of sunlight shone into the room, there was a knock on the door.

Joan of Arc rubbed her sleepy eyes and still looked dazed.

"Who is it... coming to disturb you so early?"

Unlike his stepsister who complained, Ian simply got dressed and went to greet the person knocking on the door.

But after opening the door, the person standing in front of him stunned him.

That's Pulelati.

She blinked her beautiful purple eyes and looked at Ian who was greeting her.

"Hi~"

"It's been a whole night... You should have thought of how to answer me, right?"

"..."

Before Ian could finish his words, Joan of Arc quickly jumped up from the bed behind him and stood in front of her brother.

“Who are you——?!”

"What are you doing so close to my brother?!"

"Eh?!"

Joan of Arc's sudden appearance stunned Plerati.

She looked at Ian beside her with some confusion in her eyes.

"You were yesterday—"

"You didn't tell me you had a sister, did you?"

"Yes." Ian touched Joan of Arc's head and said with a smile.

"I certainly didn't mention that."

"Excuse me, Plelatie, this is my sister, Jeanne d'Arc."

"..."

Plerati looked around the room and then sneered.

"Ah."

"Then you two have a really good relationship... At this age, you still sleep in the same room?"

"..."

Joan of Arc's expression suddenly became uneasy - after all, what Plerati said was indeed the Achilles' heel for her and him in a sense.

Although the two are not related by blood, such intimacy is indeed beyond common sense.

But Ian wasn't nervous at all.

He had already thought about how to deal with it when someone asked this question.

"Plerati, just saving some gold coins."

"You don't want to find your bag empty when you're drinking, do you?"

"..."

Plerati curled his lips.

"Too."

"There's really no point in spending more money if you can save it."

"Let's not talk about this anymore—"

"About the suggestion I made."
