Chapter 251 Huh? Is That So?
Maya-chan looked at Mother and said, "Oh, Mother (Privia) is here too. This kind of situation really helps a lot." Mother waved at Maya-chan, looking in a good mood.
"...No, um. The ones who were helped, were us."
That's what Her Royal Highness Mariajane said, almost squeezing the words out.
"It's fine, it's fine. Maya just couldn't forgive those guys who kidnapped my brother. I was thinking about crushing them, but helping Her Royal Highness happened afterward. So it was just a bonus, a side thing."
"That's a terrible way to say it, Maya-chan."
"Well, it's not like we were the one who help."
Maya-chan says it clearly. It's true that we were just causing a distraction. The ones who actually rescued her were Jillietta-san and the rescue team. Berberi-san and Neta-san probably think they just helped a little. I'm not trying to take credit, but it's because Maya-chan and I asked them to.
"...No, um. Maya-sama. We were helped by Maya-sama and Tatsuma-sama."
"Wait a second, really?"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, really!"
Her Royal Highness calls us '-sama.' Of course, in terms of the size of the country, Arlheave Dukedom is bigger. There must be a lot of people living here.
But is it just simple national power? If we're talking about combat strength, it might be the Ensgard Kingdom. But I feel like Her Royal Highness didn't call us that for that reason.
"Do you know why Her Royal Highness calls us that, big brother?"
"Huh? I have a bad feeling about this..."
Is it because we led this operation? Or is it because Maya-chan, Jag-san, and I are treating the Oso (Dreadful element) poison? But still, it's definitely about 'that'...
"That's right. Big brother is 'Saint-sama'. Maya is the little sister. That's why."
Wow, I knew it would be that...
"That's no way. But if you're saying that, then Maya-chan should be 'Holy Lady', right?"
"No, no, no. Based on achievements and reputation, there's no way Maya can compete with Her Royal Highness, the 'Dragon's Holy Lady'. Plus, Maya's magic isn't as strong as Her Royal Highness or Mylavirna-oneesan."
That's about the effect of holy attribute magic, right? Isn't Maya-chan's level higher? What are you even competing about, Maya-chan?
"Well, look, Maya-chan. Jag-san can treat the Oso poison now, right? So it would be weird if Jag-san isn't called 'Saint-sama' too, right? He's my disciple, after all!"
Yeah. It's not good if I'm the only one being told that. Jag-san should be involved too. That's what a disciple is for, right?
"Hey, brother."
"Yeah?"
"Jag-san seems to be called 'Dragon Saint-sama' from now on."
Maya-chan glances at Jag-san. Then she covers her mouth with her hand and is in a 'upuupu' state.
"Wow, really? Poor Jag-san, namu namu."
When I put my hands together towards Jag-san, he looks like he's saying, 'Did you call me?'
"Because Jag-san is brother's disciple, 'Saint-sama,' right?"
"...Is that how it is? Even here. But if he finds out, Jag-san might be shocked, you know? Oh, no, it's his wife who might be. She treated him like a trespasser just for losing weight. By the way, do the people here even know about the 'Saint-sama' thing?"
After all, Jag-san's wife was looking at him seriously, like, 'Who are you?'
"Of course. It wouldn't be strange if rumors spread. Even the Celestial Race saw brother as a danger."
"That might be true. I was kidnapped for that reason, right..."
But I haven't told Jag-san about the 'Saint-sama' story, right? So that means Maya-chan talked to Her Royal Highness about it? She really turned it into a joke...
"How stupid. Kidnapping brother was just the beginning of their downfall."
"Then I'm like a demon king, huh..."
"Do you think the Demon King is cute? I think Rosalier-san said that, right?"
"Well, you see..."
"By the way, Saint Brother."
"What is it, Holy Lady Maya-chan? What do you want to say?"
"Doesn't that mean the'Brother of Holy Lady Maya'?"
"But Maya-chan, that means 'Sister of Saint-sama'."
"──Really, you two get along so well."
Mother interjected with a sigh. Her Royal Highness Mariajane, who was next to Maya-chan, nodded in agreement.
"That's not what I meant."
"Yeah, mother."
"Anyway, isn't that Jag-san's niece over there, brother?"
"Ah, yeah. It's his niece. I think her name is Maryetta, right? But since I don't know her age, maybe it's 'Maryetta-san'?"
That's true. Even though she's his niece, Jag-san is, you know, 179 years old, right? She looks pretty young, but she might actually be older than me.
"Anyway, brother, let's put aside Maryetta-chan-san's age for now."
When she said 'chan-san,' Maya-chan did a pantomime, as if she was lifting something and placing it next to her. She's surprisingly good at it.
"Yeah, let's put it aside, Maya-chan."
"Brother, you set a new record, right? With the 'Resurrect (Resurrection Spell)'?"
"Yeah. Three months. I was surprised too, so that's why I'm having Berberi-san and the others investigate it."
"Yeah. Considering that, brother..."
"Yeah."
"Maya's magic mostly has a set amount of mana it uses,"
"Yeah. I knew that too. 'Resurrect' uses 10."
The mana cost for 'Pulse (Pulsating Assistive Spell)' hasn't changed even now.
"I think it's probably just Maya and her friends."
"What do you mean?"
"I asked Mylavirna-oneesan before."
"Really?"
"In 'Display Self-Status,' it seems you can't see that much."
"Huh? What does that mean?"
"Basically, the total amount of mana in the bodies might only be quantified for Maya, her brother, Mahiru-chan, and Asaya-kun."
Next to Maya-chan, Her Royal Highness nods. When I looked at Mother, she had a wry smile and nodded.
Wow, is that really true?
