Chapter 267 Regained Daily Life？
That night, back in Ensgard, 5 skewers of grilled meat awaited me on my table.
"Whoa, are you serious?"
As I glanced around, I noticed something odd.
It was the same in front of Maya-chan.
And Rosalier-san had the same deal.
Five skewers were set before the 3 of us, myself included.
"Well, since you're also a victim here, it's not entirely your fault, brother. Don't worry, it seems like there's going to be a sequel or something!"
"Maya-san, no spoilers, please..."
"Ahahaha, sorry! Rosalier-oneesan."
"So that's how it is. I'm glad..."
And just like that, my everyday life had returned.
* * *
The next morning, it was still cold, even in the low-altitude Ensgard.
"Please take care of Goshujin-sama, Maya-san."
"Of course! Rosalier-oneesan."
"In this case, Maya-chan, shouldn't it be me asking you for favors?"
"That's because you're my brother!"
With wry smiles from my family, the two of us set off for Swiglefen.
Wilshion was going to stay behind in Ensgard, just in case something happened.
'Guu'
"I'll be back soon, so be a good child, okay?"
'Guu'
Maya-chan hugged Wilshion tightly for a moment before saying farewell.
"Alright, then, Maya, I'm off. Mahiru-chan, make sure you keep up, okay?"
"I'll be fine; I'm not Maya-chan!"
"You sure know how to put me in my place."
Mounted on our blue Airion were Mahiru-chan and Asaya-kun.
They would be guided back to Swiglefen by us.
The Airion rose into the air with Mahiru-chan and Asaya-kun aboard.
Of course, I had already used 'Regenerate' to fix any skeletal distortions, allowing it to fly high like Centrena.
Maya-chan and I hopped onto the back of Centrena.
"Alright, let's get going."
"Yes, uncle!"
With Mahiru-chan seated in front of him, Asaya-kun responded with a cheerful reply.
"By the way, big brother..."
"Hm?"
"It's a pity, isn't it? Both at Mother's (Privia's) place and Rosalier-san's."
"Ah, yeah, it is."
Last night, I talked with Mother, Dad (Danna), and Rosalier-san.
We concluded that the 'Resurrect (Resurrection Spell)' probably has a 2-year barrier.
Then, it turned out there were no family members who had passed away within 2 years.
Mother's and Grandma (Privia's) fathers, and Rosalier-san's father and grandmother.
No relatives seemed to fit the criteria.
So, I suggested we look for someone who had died within 2 years in Ensgard, Watterhill, or Swiglefen... but Rosalier-san got angry.
Maya-chan was really mad too.
Luckily, Mother stepped in gently, saying there was no need to go that far, so we managed to avoid a bigger conflict.
Mother explained that if they hadn't died at the hands of villains like the Dragonkin, it was almost as if they had lived out their natural lifespan.
It's better not to force a resurrection in such cases.
"It's just like Mother (Privia) to want to use her power for those living now, isn't it, big brother?"
"Yeah, you're right."
Centrena had learned to fly at a height where the airflow was favorable for Swiglefen, without affecting our bodies.
She must have remembered how to fly quickly and easily from her experiences with Arlheave.
Thanks to Centrena's efforts, we arrived in Swiglefen earlier than planned.
As the black-winged her and a new blue-winged Airlion landed near the castle entrance square, a crowd of people gathered.
"Asaya-kun."
"Yes, Uncle Tatsuma."
I called out to Asaya-kun as he had just disembarked.
"Hey, can you run over to the Guild and tell Seteas-san to call me if anyone shows up with Oso (Dreadful element) poison on their fingertips?"
"Got it."
Asaya-kun took off, heading towards the Guild.
"Then, Centrena, see you later."
'Kuu?'
"'You're leaving me behind?' she said."
"No, um, I'll be right back, so..."
'Kuu...'
As we stepped down from Centrena's back, a crowd of people greeted her.
It should be fine with Mahiru-chan keeping an eye out for us.
Every so often, a voice would call out 'Guild's Saint-sama,' and I'd flash a polite smile, waving back.
Maya-chan is laughing too.
"Yo, Saint-sama!"
"Isn't Maya-chan a Holy Lady too?"
"Nah, it's not Swiglefen. It's Mahiru-chan, right──"
"Oh, that's right..."
The arbitrary knowledge of Swiglefen Castle.
Without hesitation, straight to Her Majesty the Queen private chambers.
"Ah, Julienne-san, it's been a while. Is Risleyria-san in?"
Julienne-san, who serves as the Queen's Your/His/Her Majesty personal secretary in the Swiglefen Kingdom, was there.
It's a relief to see a familiar face.
"Yes, she's in her room. ...Or rather, as usual. Only Tatsuma-san would ask if Her Majesty is 'around' like that."
"Indeed."
"Indeed."
Maya-chan and Julienne-san.
They're nodding in unison.
"Your Majesty the Queen, Tatsuma-sama has arrived."
'Please, do come in.'
"Please, Tatsuma-san. Maya-san."
"Thank you."
"Thank you very much──"
We were let in, and Maya-chan and I stepped inside, where we found Risleyria-san, her expression one of astonishment.
"I'm glad you're safe. I had heard from Privia, but I was still worried."
"I am so sorry for the trouble I've caused. And I apologize again for keeping Mahiru-chan and Asaya-kun in Ensgard for so long."
Yeah, seriously.
Even if it was for my sake, keeping the heirs to this kingdom stuck in Ensgard for ages...
I still haven't heard which one of them is actually going to take the throne, you know?
"Anyway, let's not dwell on that. Maya-chan?"
"Yes, yes, Auntie. May I?"
Since Risleyria-san is practically Mahiru-chan and Asaya-kun's adoptive mother, Mahiru-chan's twin sister, Maya-chan, started calling her 'Auntie.'
"Oh, thank you. I'm always in your debt."
Maya-chan stared intently at Risleyria-san's fingertips.
"Oh my! That's a surprise. Not 0, but only one percent!"
"That's amazing!"
For now, Maya-chan sucked out the Oso poison with her magic.
I'll use 'Detoxy (detoxification)' later.
"It's all thanks to the Water Magic Tool and the people using Healing Attribute magic. We get regular detox treatments."
"That's wonderful. Now then..."
