Isis ca to Kuromueina, and the next day after her first night of her stay in Kuromueina’s residence, she was introduced to the people who lived in the sa house. Though I say that, there were actually just two other people here……
[Well then, Isis, let introduce you. This child is Ein!]
[Nice to et you, I welco your visit. I am Ein, Kuromu-sama’s servant.]
[……Ah…… N- Nice to et you…… Isis…… Errr…… Servant?]
[That’s just sothing Ein says on her own, so don’t worry about it.]
[Kuromu-sama! I have made up my mind. In order to repay the great debt of gratitude I owe to Kuromu-sama who took care of , I will show my utmost dedication through the path of a servant…… Yes, I will strive to beco a perfect servant, to the point where I may even be called the very definition of a “follower”!!!]
[……Ah, unnn. Well, good luck with that.]
[Yes!]
Seeing Ein’s declaration while clenching her fist, Kuromueina threw vague words of encouragent with a slightly exasperated expression on her face. Even those words seed to have a trendous effect on Ein, making her motivated enough to think that one could see flas behind her.
Seeing her like that though, Isis confusedly asked Ein.
[……Umm…… Is Ein…… not afraid…… of ?]
[Afraid? Ahh, I see, you do have quite a fierce magic power. However, there’s no problem with it. The servant that I am shall not show a pitiable appearance before her master. Feeling abnormalities from magic power of this level is unbefitting of a servant.]
[……Well, Ein is strong and won’t be intimidated by Isis’ magic power. The other child would also be fine…… right?]
After seeing Ein, not cowering in fear at her magic power unlike other creatures, Isis looked slightly relieved as she smiled. Seemingly happy that she was able to et soone who doesn’t fear her like Kuromueina……
She then turned her attention to the other person in the room…… a being that had taken the form of a gigantic magical beast exceeding 10m…… giddo.
[Rather than intimidated, I’m feeling excited instead. Don’t you look like a strong-looking guy!? Ou, you said you’re Isis, yeah?]
[……U- Unnn.]
[I’m giddo, nice to et ya. Well then, since we’ve finally t, for the sake of understanding each other, let’s fight!]
[……Eh? ……Fight?]
[That’s right! Living creatures co to an understanding with each other through battles! ……No, you look like a ghost of so sort, but if you have a will, you’re a living creature!!!]
For giddo, who could be described as a battle maniac, Isis, who is clad in trendous magic power, is a rather welco opponent, seemingly making them itching to fight.
This was a reaction unlike any she had seen before, and so, looking clearly bewildered, Isis’ gaze moved to the side.
[……Ah…… Errr…… I don’t…… really know how to fight.]
[What!? Even though you have that amazing amount of magic power?]
[……U- Unnn…… I’ve never…… fought anyone.]
Her words aren’t a lie. Isis has never engaged in anything like a battle. Most creatures just die when they get too close to her, and those who don’t quickly flee.
The people she had properly interacted with would just be Kuromueina, Isis and giddo.
[Well, I’m gonna teach her how to fight after this.]
[……Hmmm. There’s that! You’ll learn how to fight by actually fighting! And so, how about you and I……]
[giddo? How about you and I make things clear between us?]
[Ahh, no, that’s a bit…… I’ll restrain myself.]
Apparently, giddo can’t raise their head against Kuromueina, as the words Kuromueina said with a smile made their huge body shrink.
After chuckling at the situation, Kuromueina called out to Isis.
[Ahh, as you can see, there’s a big tree next to my house, right? That’s a World Tree. The World Tree is a powerful mass of vitality, so you don’t have to worry. It won’t wither even if Isis approaches it.]
[……That’s a big tree…… Amazing.]
[Well, there are still a lot of things you don’t know, so I think you may be worried, but I’ll be teaching you all that…… I’ll be in your care from now on.]
[……Ahhh…… Unnn!]
Looking at the three who welcod her with warm smiles, Isis happily smiled with tears in her eyes. Feeling that the place she had been seeking for was here……
The snowy field covered with thick clouds. Beneath the falling snow, Isis was once again facing her other self with a black hood over her head.
“You’ve co again.”
[……It isn’t just Kuromueina…… Ein…… giddo…… They accepted …… This place…… This is where I belong.]
“Is that so? If that’s what you think, then so be it. However, I think otherwise…… This place isn’t your place. At least, it isn’t the place you wanted.”
[……That…… isn’t true.]
“Do you really think so? The way I see it, I think you’re just trying to compromise on sothing similar…… It’s fine, you need not mind . If you had really found the place you belong to, that is fine, but if not…… There will co a day…… when you’d eventually realize it.”
At the words her other self spoke, Isis couldn’t imdiately say “You’re wrong”. She doesn’t know why. Even though she thinks that the words of the being in front of her are wrong…… Sowhere in her heart, she found herself accepting those words.
She couldn’t understand the reason why. However, there was this indescribable eerie feeling in her heart…… that the being in front of her seems to know more about Isis than even she herself does.
……Without her knowledge, it seed as if the snow falling on the snowy field was increasing in force.
? ? ? : [A Maid Fanatic back when the word maid didn’t exist in the world yet…… You sure can feel her youth. Even so, even though she swapped out different words, she was still saying similar things back then……]
