Meldeia Kingdom.

This country that is descended from the same empire as their neighboring country Galdeia Kingdom is famous for having numerous extremely elite Knight Orders.

The joining of a certain big-shot rookie into one of those Knight Orders has gathered the attention of many people.

“Hah~, I never thought that I’d be treated as a rookie at this age.”

There is Onee, nibbling on cheese at a tavern slightly higher class than the one before.

Today he is off duty and thus is wearing his own clothing, but as always his clothes seem at risk of bursting due to his muscles.

“…… You were treated as a rookie only on the very first day.”

The one sharing the table with Onee is the similarly off-duty Grace, who has her hair down in a classy ojou-sama fashion.

Actually she’s put in a lot more effort than usual to dress up, for Onee’s sake.

She herself knows best what a waste of effort it is, so please do not tsukkomi this.

“I mean, they told me it’s a ‘welcoming party’ but then suddenly started attacking me. Isn’t it a given that I’d retaliate?”

The result is…… there’s no need to say it.

Against a Dragonslayer, what can mere humans do, even if they gang up?

So now Onee is respected by all the Order members and called ‘Aniki,’ ever since day one.

(T/N: ‘Aniki’ means like ‘big bro,’ used by yakuza/delinquents to address someone that they respect or acknowledge to be above them.)

Incidentally, the king had conferred a treasured sword to Onee on account of how he breaks all other weapons, but even the treasured sword was cleanly snapped during that incident.

Even Cú Chulainn-san, who has history of a similar episode, can probably do nothing but laugh.

“But it sure is reassuring that even the Grand Commander has taken a liking to you. Since that person is also quite quirky after all.”

“……”

“Yuki?”

Onee suddenly going quiet causes Grace to tilt her head in puzzlement.

“……I actually can’t really handle that person.”

“Is that so?”

Incidentally, the Grand Commander is, though not to Onee’s level, a lady with ridiculous strength that probably exceeds humanly limits.

Seeing as how she was the indisputable strongest within the Order before Onee’s arrival, it is at least certain that she was born with the wrong gender.

“I quite like her as a person, don’t get me wrong. But it’s just that…… her face and the way she talks and her vibe all makes me think of my late wife.”

“?!”

Shock runs through Grace.

The Grand Commander who is mannish, has a dirty mouth, and who can only be said to have discarded her femininity.

Seeing the Grand Commander who had previously not even been a participant of the Onee Conquest Tournament (futile) suddenly taking the top position causes Grace to panic.

At this rate, Onee is in danger of returning to being straight.

…… Eh? Isn’t this not actually a problem?

“S-, so, what kind of person was your wife?”

“Nn, let me see. She was endlessly bright, earnest to the point of being thoughtless, and a mannish tomboy. In the past I was a thin shorty and seemed feminine, so we were often teased as the gender swapped pair.”

Apparently Onee already had the potential of becoming an Onee even before his late wife’s parting words (curse).

More like, it seems it might have been his wife’s existence that expedited the process.

“She was also physically very strong, and I couldn’t win against her in a competition of strength all the way until I reached adulthood.”

“I see. Then she does indeed sound like the Grand Commander.”

Adulthood = 15 years old is what Grace is thinking while being convinced.

But Onee is Japanese, so adulthood = 20 years old.

He sure had a frightening wife.

“So from now onwards, I’ll just keep a certain distance away……”

“What’s this? How cold of my newest subordinate!”

“……”

The sudden voice from the back causes Onee to freeze.

“……C-, Commander?”

“Indeed. It is I, everyone’s beloved Grand Commander.”

The person standing there is a tall woman with her red hair tied back.

Her face is definitely beautiful, but her hair is so fiery red that it does not pale in comparison.

“Commander…… you’re drunk, aren’t you.”

“Where else am I supposed to get drunk at if not at a tavern?”

The Commander leans against Onee’s back while exhaling a breath that smells of alcohol.

Despite that action having absolutely zero womanly charm, apparently it was extremely similar to how Onee’s late wife acted, seeing how flustered he is.

“Commander, seriously! Will you let go of me, you’re being immodest!!”

“A~ha~ha. Immodest, hah. So prim and fussy. What are you, a woman?”

“My heart is—!”

Onee’s protest is cut off midway.

…… By Commander’s lips.

“Ahh, when she gets drunk, Commander turns into a kissing demon……”

The warning from Grace comes too late.

From how calm she is at seeing the man she’s interested in being kissed, it can be understood how frequently this happens.

“……So-”

“‘So’?”

“So cruel! You’re so cruel!! I’ve never allowed any girl other than Makoto to kiss me!!”

“Yuki?!”

After forcefully throwing Commander away, Onee dashes away at full speed.

With twinkling tears falling from the edge of his eyes. Apparently Onee’s maiden heart has taken great damage.

Incidentally, Onee’s escape left a huge hole in the wall of the tavern. But for some reason, the hole was completely gone the next day, so there’s no problem.

“A~ha~ha. What a huge build yet acting like a virgin.”

“……”

In contrast, Commander is still in high spirits after making Onee cry.

This is the moment when the Onee that even a country is troubled over how to handle has fallen under the control of a woman.

“Say, Tsukuyomi. Do you think we should retrieve that person after all?”

At the same time, in Takamagahara.

The sense of danger felt by Amaterasu-sama upon watching Onee’s daily growth has prompted her to consider the final solution.

“What are you talking about after all this time?”

“But I mean, that human is strange! If he continues getting stronger, then the balance of the world will be disrupted!!”

“He’s still better than Susanoo though.”

“…… He is still better than Susanoo, yes.”

Tsukuyomi-sama’s cool tone leads Amaterasu-sama to cool down also.

Though some might feel bad for Susanoo upon seeing how his brother and sister are speaking of him, just put your hand over your heart and recall all the chaos that he had caused in his past.

“Wait, that’s not the problem here!”

“Ane-ue. Please think about it. Even if we retrieve him, are you going to release him into modern day Japan?”

“……”

Unable to say anything, Amaterasu-sama falls into silence.

Rather than ‘two birds with one stone,’ this Onee is the embodiment of ‘two dragons with one stone.’

There’s no way such a person is going to live peacefully in modern day Japan.

“…… Oh well! It’s someone else’s world anyways!”

“So it is.”

Amaterasu-sama washing her hands of all responsibility, and Tsukuyomi-sama chuckling while managing his sister.

…… Today, too, Takamagahara is at peace.
