第１６９５堀：最適な彼女 (Part2)
Since Yuki-san would stop Seraria-onesama from heading out or giving orders herself, it seems the consensus was that Yuki-san is the only one who can do it.
However, everyone has been adamant that he is strictly forbidden from entering the front lines, regardless of his command authority.
"Above all, if we don't help out properly, Yuki will inevitably decide to go himself."
"Yes. Oniisama is kind, but I think he’s hopeless when it comes to things like that."
As Dressa and I said this, Prol and the others nodded in agreement.
When it comes to this sort of thing, Oniisama’s reliability is near zero. He’s always so considerate of us being busy that he just starts doing the work himself.
"Well, I’ve grumbled enough, so you have my permission. That said, leaving aside Hiiro’s size, isn't Vilia a bit too big? You’re planning to sneak in as luggage, right?"
"Luggage? What do you mean by that? Won't I be acting alongside Holy-san?"
"Ah, I suppose I didn't explain that part. It seems the summoning target is limited to one person. It doesn't look like it can handle two or several at once."
"I see. So I’ll sneak in as luggage in a smaller form."
"Exactly. Vilia, you have a smaller Doppelganger form that matches Aslin and the others, don't you?"
I see, so that was the reason I was chosen.
Although I have grown up now, much like Aslin, I have kept my child-sized body preserved to match Labyris and Hiiro. There are things one can only do while in the guise of a child.
"Yes. I have kept the form I was in when I first met Oniisama."
"I have a Doppelganger from back when I first met Yuki and the others, too."
"Dressa was small back then, wasn't she?"
Oniisama looks at Dressa-san as if reminiscing about the past.
It is true that when Dressa first came to Weed, she had a child-like physique. However, her chest had developed to a normal degree—not like mine, but rather what you might call sporty.
"I’m glad both of you ate properly and grew up."
"……If your wife has become a beautiful woman, you should be happy about that, you know. What’s with that reaction like you’re watching a child grow up?"
Oops, it seems I am being treated the same way as Dressa.
However, thinking back on it now, I believe being a child back then was a good position to be in. I was allowed to be spoiled quite a bit, and I was truly happy to have delicious food and a place to sleep.
"Oniisama is kind, so that is a natural reaction. Back then, we were truly in a state where we had nothing to eat."
"……Vilia’s situation was certainly desperate. Anyway, putting that aside, if Holy cooperates, you’ll be sneaking in as luggage, right?"
"That’s right. I think we can manage the real luggage by putting it in an Item Box. Of course, there’s a possibility that the Item Box won’t be usable, so you’ll need to carry the bare minimum of food."
Hearing Oniisama’s advice, I felt a snag in my thoughts and pondered with a hum……
"Oniisama. From what I’ve heard, the people being abducted didn't have any preparations to begin with, so shouldn't we avoid carrying excessive luggage?"
"Ah, that’s true, too. If things go poorly, there might be weight restrictions."
"That’s possible. It’s been a solo summoning until now, hasn't it? If so, the amount of luggage they’re carrying must be limited. Even if Vilia is in her child form, she has a certain amount of weight, so I wonder if carrying other things will be difficult?"
"Ahaha, I know you don't mean any harm, Dressa, but you really shouldn't say that."
Talking about a woman’s weight, and in front of Oniisama, no less.
"It’s not like it’s something to worry about at this point. Besides, we’re talking about a child’s size. So, what do you think?"
"I’ll need to consult on that a bit. For now, I’ll look into those details and contact you again. Even if Holy can't make it, there’s no doubt that Vilia will be going with someone else, so be prepared."
"Yes. Leave it to me."
"Also, Sis-a and Sona will be contacted, so we’ll meet at home."
"Yes. See you at home."
"Oniisama, please take care……"
Just as I was about to say that, the door to the conference room suddenly opened……
"Hey, Dressa. Could you lend me Hiiro?"
"Hm?"
"I told you, that’s not allowed, Hairen-sama."
As Hairen-sama entered while holding Hiiro, Enora-sama followed right behind her.
In a sense, Vilia is a versatile type.
However, as an organization, I am not yet in the top brass, but rather one rank below, which makes me surprisingly easy to mobilize.
Is it a case of being too serious, leading to fewer appearances?
