27. After the fact

"Oh, it turns out that under the costume of this dirty scum, there is still such a scenery......"

"Perverted!"

Lin kicked Io, who was in a coma, and dealt with the scars on Kaede's body by herself: "As a result, it took so long for Io to tell me that this was actually a misunderstanding?

"This is not a conditioned reflex meow~~~ I didn't expect to meet the descendants of my acquaintances here......" Io scratched his head helplessly, "Anyway, the acquaintances I know have been dead for two hundred years, and it's not easy for me to recognize his descendants, okay?"

[Two ...... Two Hundred Years ......]

"Sure enough...... At first, I felt that some of Io's temperament was not quite right, but now that I think about it, Io, you are actually an elf......"

"Hey~ After all, the appearance of elves is very inconvenient in human society, so I have to make some disguise~ Lin, how are you sure that I am an elf?"

β€œ...... That subtle degree of nudity in clothing. ”

β€œ......”

The Io was sunk.

"Wait, wait!" Io couldn't calm down for a moment, "I don't know how you have such a strange cognition, but it's not right!

Overly excited, Io grabbed Lynn's shoulders and shook them back and forth, causing Angul to be strongly dissatisfied.

"But that's what Aisha told me...... And with Io's example, I think Aisha's statement is very reliable!"

Lin stared at the white flowers on Io's chest, waist, and thighs, and had a very deep understanding of the elves, a race that unconsciously gave away benefits.

Sure enough, the shame of elves is different from that of humans, right?

Feeling that if he continued to argue on this topic, he would lose something important, so Io decisively changed the topic: "Aren't you curious about my relationship with this child, Lynn?"

"Mother and daughter?"

"How is that possible! Let's not talk about Sister Io, I'm still a pure virgin, it's impossible just for my age!

"Age......

"What's the matter with your rude eyes, Lynn, I'm still very young from an elf's point of view!"

["Elf?, that's a super unconscious race."] Obviously, the whole clan has a super-level appearance, but she prefers that kind of shameful dressing, and she still shows the appearance of a young girl even though she is a lot older, and what is even more terrifying is that it is likely that her mental age is really only that little...... But ah, it's undeniable that they're all a group of good people, and they don't have anything to do with them, they like to put the blame on themselves, but the worst thing is how natural the elves areβ€”well, it's hard for me to understand that it's such a long-lived race, and why the growth of the mind is so slow! The elves who have lived for hundreds of years are almost the same or even lower than the minds of human girls who are not yet 20 years old......"]

Lin suddenly remembered what Aisha had said when she had mentioned the elves to Aisha earlier.

"Indeed, Io is still very young, both in appearance and on the inside......"

"That's it!"

β€œ...... Are you really two or three hundred years old and not only (nine)?"

......

[Woo...... I, I'm ......]

Kaede, who woke up from the dream in a daze, suddenly felt an itchy nose, and when he subconsciously wanted to scratch his nose, he found that his hands were completely uncontrollable.

[Bad...... Oops! tied up ......]

"Ahh

"Look, it works, Io?"

"Well, it feels weird, but it seems to work...... Probably?"

Kaede struggled to open her eyes and saw a young girl holding a feather and looking at her with a smile, and next to her, there was a tall girl with a "Lost to you" expression, covering her forehead with a black line.

[Ah, I remember, they are...... Well, I've been caught. 】

"Anyway, please forgive us first! It's Io, a stupid guy with an IQ of only (9), who moves faster than his brain, and I'm sorry to let you fall into an unwarranted disaster!"

Just as Kaede smiled wryly and imagined how she would be treated, the young girl got down on her knees and made a standard "Tiger Landing Pose".

"Huh?"

The amount of information was too large, and Kaede's brain didn't turn for a while.

"Io ......"

The young girl turned her head to look at her companion, who was stunned by her actions.

"Wait! do you want me to do this......"

"According to you, you're her elder...... Or do you want me to tell Aisha about your paddling today?"

"Wow, you said it, you said it, you said 'add oil and vinegar'! I ...... Can't I admit it?"

The older girl looked like she was out of her mind, and she also posed in a "tiger landing pose": "Miss Walter, please forgive Io for the mistake of indiscriminately firing arrows! Anyway...... It's all my fault, it's right to blame me!"

"Hmph, let me go, Io Tosaka. ”

"Who is Iona Tosaka!! don't just add a surname to someone who doesn't know where the road is, but always feels that it will drop the chain at a critical moment!"

β€œ...... My name is Kaede. ”

Kaede interrupted the cuteness of the two opposite with a serious face.

"My name is Kaede, I don't have a last name at the moment, and if I do, it will definitely not be Walter!

"But the only ones who can resonate with the 'Yaksha' are the descendants of the same blood as Sheen...... Did I misremember Sheehan's last name?"

Io said something that Kaede couldn't ignore at all.

"You...... How do you know the name of the Dao Ancestor?"

[No, it doesn't make sense! The name of the ancestor should be unknown to outsiders, and it should be absolutely unknowable......]

"Well...... Calling Sheen an Ancestor but not admitting his surname Walter?No, I remember that Sheen's deeds should only be qualified to know the Tao by direct bloodline, and not by the side line, right?"

Io looked at Kaede thoughtfully, as if he had thought of something: "Could it be ......?"

"You, who the hell are you!?"

"I'm the stupid elf who gave the 'Yaksha' to your ancestors, and although I didn't think that the aura of 'that child' had changed so much over the years, when you cut it down so much, I could be sure that it was my work. Understand, right? Compared to you, who only know the names and deeds of your ancestors, I know that Sheen of the Dao is a living memory, isn't it taken for granted that I know the Dao?"

"So, it's really ...... for you to kill your old friend after you don't say anything."

Lynn, who was standing aside, unceremoniously dismantled Io's stage.

"All in all, all those unpleasant memories were all unilaterally poked out of this stupid elf disguised as a human. Lin said as she untied the rope that had tied Kaede, "This is also a measure in case you wake up with some unnecessary conflicts, so I'm sorry again." ”

For some reason, Kaede suddenly felt that compared to an elder who was smirking at the moment compared to his ancestors, the young Lori in front of him seemed to be more reliable.

"No, how can you say that, I ...... I also attacked ......"

"Io, that idiot's name is Io. ”

β€œ...... I'm also attacking Io-sama, so if I'm sorry, I'm ......."

"Stupid ......" Lin sat next to Kaede with Angul in her arms, "Although she is disguised for some reason now, she is an elf, although her age is older than the time of your ancestors, but whether it is the age algorithm among the elves or the actual mental age, Io is only a sister who is two years older than you...... Don't look at elves according to human regulations, Io also prefers you to treat your sister rather than your elders in all respects, even though she doesn't have the behavior that an elder should have. ”

"There are a lot of lines in it that hurt me, but ......" Io smiled and stroked Kaede's hair, "Just call me sister, Lynn is basically wrong." ”

"Completely devoid of the behavior expected of an elder......

"Don't change your attitude so quickly, it's a dull soul! I was still in a very respectful tone just now......"

"No, I don't think anyone would be in a good mood to be sniped in that way, right?" Lin looked at the frenzied Io with disdain, "Also, don't look at me with that 'you're involved' look, I'll be like that because your behavior makes me think it's the enemy?" You also know that it's the first time, when I'm nervous, what did you do as a dependent Io, of course I followed you...... It's your fault, after all. ”

"Anyway, do you blame me?"

The two of them, who were still fighting for life and death not long ago, glanced at each other and showed a smile to Io together: "Well, it's all Io's fault~~"

The Io was sunk again.

"My name is Lynn. Lin stretched out her right hand to Kaede, "The future Grand Magus, although he is still only an apprentice. ”

[Apprenticeship...... Well, since she said so, then it's really an apprentice. 】

Kaede, who was skeptical of Lin's ability before, looked at Lin's clear eyes and chose to believe Lin.

β€œ...... Magic is a magical thing. ”

Kaede also stretched out her right hand and shook the other party.

......

β€œ...... Why are you just excluding me!!"
