4-82: Answer and Reason (4/6)

Ah, come to think of it, who told you that were sisters? I dont think we look alike at all.

But then the question begged itself.

They were indeed sisters, and they shared the same blood, but they didnt look anything at all like each other.

They were all certainly beauties, but the direction their beauty took was different from each other.

Just of the four here, Stella was beautiful enough to make people gulp, but her eyes were sharp and scary.

Robelia was a vivacious-looking woman, while Clara had a fluffy image with drooping eyes.

Louise was frail like a calm, sheltered, young lady.

Other than their lack of expression, they looked nothing like each other.

Though theyd been together for about half a month already, them being sisters was not something he should have been able to tell without someone telling him.

Alas, his eyes were just that good.

Excessively high rank can also be a problem. I can know() most secrets and emotions just by seeing Really, it makes me sick.Updated from novelbIn.(c)om

Shinichi said with disgust in his voice.

From time to time, he would show disgust for his own abilities, but the maids listened nonetheless to his explanation despite their doubts.

Apparently, he usually suppressed his eyes, but he would always look at his opponents thoroughly during battle.

With all the knowledge he had in his head, he could instantly analyze that information and understand.

In fact, with the right conditions, he could even see a good bit into the future.

Compared to that, their blood relation was a trivial matter.

S Rank truly is terrifying. To think that it could improve not only your observing eye and insight but also your predictive ability

Robelia was impressed by the power of such an extraordinary rank, while Clara just casually dropped a thorny remark.

Its frighteningly useless when it comes to housework, though.

Ugu! I-Im sure it must have increased my inability to function in that regard! Sure, I was a mess at organization and cleaning, but it was never this bad! Probably!

It was curious if he was serious or just making excuses after being struck at a sore spot, but the response he got was just that of skepticism.

Ive never heard of such a demerit from raising the rank of ones Skill.

Sounds like excuses to me.

Probably? Whats that supposed to mean?

They were sisters indeed.

Though it should be noted that they held no ill will in any of those remarks.

They were just suspicious, and Shinichi knew that, but

Uu!

Master!?

Even then, painful things were painful.

This was not because of what he mentioned earlier, but he looked at them as though he could see through them completely, so the girls blushed except for one but Shinichi himself was just stuck in his own sea of thoughts.

Hey, hey Its coming at a time like this?

It was such a sudden change in attitude. One moment he was displaying such a shameful appearance, but in the next, he was all serious.

Thats why an air of tension too appeared on the expressionless face of the three maids.

After all, this was the kind of attitude he would adopt whenever they were entering some kind of incident, or whenever he was picking up on some ill-foreboding.

They have only been together for half a month, but they deeply trusted the frequency and precision of his predictions.

Shinichi organized his thoughts, while the maids waited for further instructions.

But of course, it took only 5 seconds at most before he could arrive to a conclusion.

Stella.

Yes?

Have this on you.

As he said that, he removed his silver pendant from his neck.

Hanging from his hand was a cheaply made accessory fashioned after the crescent moon, but everyone here knew that that was something he deeply treasured and kept close to himself.

When they thought of how there was going to be an incident grave enough for him to hand that over, they couldnt help but gulp.

Me?

Yeah, because I think youll have it the worst Well, its just for cautions sake By the way, Im just lending it to you, okay? You need to give it back later.

In other words Something will happen tonight?

It would be better if nothing happened, but youve brought too much gunpowder with you.

The infamous second princess who also happens to be a famed wizard.

The strongest maid squad in Earthgant that served her zealously.

The hero summoned from another world that is known to be strong but a nuisance.

On their own, they stood out too much in a bad sense, but now, a mysterious boy with a Tenkorius has been added to that already problematic roster.

There have been parties of all sorts in Falandia, but never before has there been a line-up as infamous and powerful as this.

I see. In that case, I will have to take you up on your offer.

Perhaps Shinichis fears got through her, or perhaps she simply believed in his predictions, but regardless, she took the pendant and immediately put it on, then she opened her collars a little and hid it inside.

I want it back eventually, but what face am I supposed to make then?

It was all too clear where that pendant went, and Shinichi found himself at a loss.

Even the other maids gulped as they came to the same conclusion.

Though the glimpse of white revealed was plenty stimulating, what was more noteworthy was that the pendant found its new home right between that pair of bountiful peaks, whose volume was evident even through her clothes.

With it dyed in her own warmth, what sort of face should he make when it was time for him to retrieve it?
