'Al, what food did you bring me this time?'

　After teasing Thor for a moment, Asmo, perhaps curious about it, asks him, pointing to the wooden box.

It's more of a condiment than a food. It's more of a condiment than a food, it's a soy sauce and miso.

Oh!

...What the hell, it's not candy, like before?

　Asmo screams with joy and Thor looks blatantly disappointed.

　I took a dragon muffin with me the other day. I guess they were expecting the same kind of candy this time.

'An exotic condiment, eh?　Unlike sweets, it's not the end of the world after one bite, and it expands the scope of cooking, so it's better than sweets.

　Maybe it's because Asmo loves food, but he seems to understand the beauty of getting new condiments.

'Well, anything that tastes good is fine with me!　Let's just go inside for now.

　While saying optimistic words, Thor opens the door of the house with his wooden sword on his shoulder.

　But still, this guy has the makings of a thug after all. The sight of him carrying a wooden sword is too good for me to feel any discomfort. I knew I wasn't crazy after all.

　Well, be that as it may, you're handing over the seasoning, and it's more convenient to explain a lot of things inside the house. Don't hesitate to let me go inside Thor's house.

　Me and Asmo follow behind Thor into the front door.

'I'm sorry to bother you!'

Yeah, don't worry about it, 'cause nobody's here but me now!

　It really shows Thor's character when he happily announces that he doesn't have any family as soon as he enters the house.

　When you enter the front door, there are two wooden swords hung on the edge, covered in dirt and worn out.

　I don't seem to know if they belong to sister Emma or Thor, but they seem to have been used up quite a bit. Just by looking at it, you can tell how much practice Thor has put into his swords.

　I'm convinced that his swing has improved.

'........Thor, you've worked hard.

'What? Don't look at the wooden sword for shame!

　He smiles as he looks at the wooden swords and then takes them to scratch the two wooden swords that Thor is hanging on.

　He seems a little embarrassed when he sees something like a proof of his efforts. He's a strange guy who has a habit of being happy when praised to his face, but is embarrassed when he praises these things.

'You've had Emma-san teach you a lot of hard lessons, haven't you?

Really?

　Hearing Asmo's muttered voice, I give Thor a surprised look.

　Then, with a complicated look on Thor's face.

My sister's the only person around here who can help me.

'Huh?　Where's Sheila, Asmo's sister?

　Sheila should be attending vigilante practice and practicing, too.

　We're neighbors, and it's strange that sister Emma is the only option.

　As I'm tilting my head, Asmo lets out a sigh and shakes his head.

'My sister is sentient, so there's no way I can teach her how to use a sword.

'Shuffling like this, here's a guru's waist. The only thing left to do was to swing it down in some kind of way. I had no idea.

　Asmo nodded incessantly at Thor's words.

　Are you a different type of sensation group than Elinora's sister?

''Well, Sheila-san is very fast-paced.

'That's why I was pissed off, but I had no choice but to ask my sister to teach me. But because of that, I was forced to work five times as hard as I usually do.

'Maybe Thor didn't ask for it the right way?　If you ask sincerely, Emma would be happy to oblige, wouldn't she?

　I'm talking about Thor, who is strangely unable to be honest with sister Emma. I'm sure he was rude to ask her for help, wasn't he?　

　Gentle sister Emma would never do anything like that to look at the other person's feet.

'No way!　Women are such creatures!　They are creatures that will take advantage of any weakness we show them!　You know that too, don't you!

Yes, that's true, but not your sister Emma!

　d*mn, what an ugly thing for my own heart to sympathize so badly with Thor's words in my heart, even though I thought that gentle Emma-sister would never do such a thing.

　No, Sis Emma would never do that.

'You're just being fooled by your sister's outward appearance!　You'll regret it later if you have any illusions about your sister!

'It's Thor who's being tricked by the outside world. Sister Elinora is neither cool nor kind. She's sloppy and selfish!　Thor is confused by the sound of being a nobleman's daughter!

No, it's not!

　We shouted at each other, me and Thor staring at each other's faces.

''.........Al and Thor always put their sisters down and fight with each other, don't they? That's why they'll find out later and sanction us.

　You're absolutely right.

'Let's not get into a sterile fight.'

'Yes. Because this topic is always a parallel one.

　Arguing about my sister like this is the usual thing.

　Me and Thor continue down the corridor without getting particularly rough with each other.

'By the way, my sister is in the house next door, so I can hear all the screaming you just did.

"...........

　The fact that Asmo has said it stops me and Thor in our tracks.

'Can't you do something about this lack of privacy?

...is a bit of a mess.



　You're not going to be able to do that.



Oh, God, I'm going to have to do something. I'm going to have to do something.

　As soon as I walked into the living room, Thor sat down in a chair and hung his head in a paragraph.

'It doesn't matter, just get me a glass of water. I'm thirsty.

'What do you mean it doesn't matter, Asmo? It's a big deal to me and Al!　Hey, Al!

　Thor thumps the table with a bang and looks at me as if seeking sympathy.

　Normally, I would have to hold my head up like Thor.

　But this time it's different for me.

''........Huh, I still have plenty of time to spare, so I'll be fine.

Why?

'After all, Sister Elinora isn't in Coriat Village. There is time before she returns from King's Landing. In the meantime, if Thor can keep Sister Emma pissed off at him, it will be treated as a normal routine, a fact that has passed!

What?　Filthy Al!　You're going to sacrifice me and you're going to get away with it!

　Thor, realizing my genius plan, shouts as he leans forward.

　Hmmm, sorry Thor. Sister Elinora is not in the village right now. I've never been happier about this fact than I am right now.

'Is it going to be that easy?　I don't think women will forget about that kind of thing because they'll always remember it, right?　My sister and Emma are going to be tipped off when Lady Elinora comes back.

d*mn, that was it too!

　Female creatures have a strange habit of remembering things from the past and rehashing them at every turn.

'Is there anything you can do to conveniently forget it?

'Well I'm sure Thor will rehash the story and remind you if you've forgotten.

　Ha, I didn't know such a pitfall existed........!

　I looked at him fearfully and saw Thor's Nimanima black smile.

'Hehehe, don't think you can just live in peace with Al?　I'm not going to let you sacrifice me to get away with it, okay?

　Was the greatest obstacle to this sacrificial plan not the memory or habit of women, but the ugly jealousy and resentment of friends?

'Ha, of course not!　Me and Thor are one and the same in this matter. I wouldn't do anything terrible to abandon a friend like that.

Right?

　Asmo was looking at me and Thor holding hands as he said this, while Asmo looked on in dismay.
