Feeling the pat on her head, Knightwalker remained expressionless, her brown eyes showing no emotion.
Since she couldn't resist as a slave anyway, she might as well give up.
It was just a couple of pats on the head—at least she wasn't being made to strip naked and lie obediently in bed. That was good enough.
As Knightwalker sat down beside him under his command, the guild members who had been surrounding them also gradually dispersed, leaving only the two Mirajanes and Lisanna.
He had to admit, Knightwalker's deterrent effect was quite strong.
"Nice to meet you, Miss Lisanna!" Roland looked at the girl with short, white hair in front of him, a gentle smile on his face. "I'm Roland, a newcomer who just joined the guild a short while ago."
"...I've heard my sister mention you."
Lisanna wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and forced a smile.
Just now, on the second floor, the long-lost Mirajane had told her about Roland's identity beforehand.
So... this was her brother-in-law?
Looking at the young man who was about her age, Lisanna's eyes were filled with a thick curiosity.
She didn't know what had happened to her sister during her time in Edolas—why she had become so gentle and had suddenly found a life partner.
But before understanding these things, she had to explain the whole story to the Edolas sister.
At this thought, Lisanna took a deep breath, her sapphire-like eyes filled with worry and panic.
She was afraid—afraid that after she told the truth, the Mirajane and Elfman of this world wouldn't be able to bear the blow.
"Mirajane..."
As Lisanna's hesitant words fell, the Edolas Mirajane gently hugged her, tears welling in the corners of her eyes.
"Lisanna, actually, Elfman and I both noticed..."
The Edolas Mirajane gently stroked her short hair and comforted her in a soft voice.
"After all, falling from such a high place, it's impossible for anyone to survive."
"..."
Mirajane reached out and gripped her left arm, her expression gradually dimming.
The joy of finding her sister had also vanished because of this scene.
Although she had her suspicions about the Lisanna counterpart who had never appeared, after hearing the cause of death straight from her, she couldn't suppress the sadness in her heart.
Why was Lisanna's fate in both worlds... so tragic?
"I'm sorry, Mirajane. I didn't tell you the real situation at that time."
Feeling the warmth of the other's embrace, Lisanna's voice gradually became choked with sobs. Hot tears quietly slid down, soaking the fabric on her chest.
If she had told them her situation beforehand, the farewell wouldn't have become so sad.
And she wouldn't have had to see her sister fall into grief again...
"Really, aren't we all family? Why are you suddenly apologizing?"
The Edolas Mirajane looked up, reached out to wipe away her falling tears, and put on a gentle smile.
"You're as gentle and considerate as the Lisanna who passed away, so you can't let your real brother and sister be sad anymore, okay..."
Here, she turned to look at the other one and requested with a serious expression, "I'll leave Lisanna in your care!"
"Please rest assured."
Mirajane said just as seriously.
Absolutely—I will absolutely not lose a family member again!
"..."
Watching the moving scene before her, Knightwalker's heart was slightly touched, but she quickly gritted her teeth and glanced to the side.
What a joke. I won't be moved by something like this.
You should know, I've killed more than ten members of that guild—
As for Roland, he had shifted his attention to checking today's missions. It was better not to get involved in such a farewell scene.
"System, check today's missions."
As he thought this, the glowing system panel appeared in his vision.
[Mission One: A Long-Awaited Reunion (Complete!)]
[Mission Description: Please help Mirajane and Lisanna reunite!]
[Mission Reward: Zanpakuto Sode no Shirayuki (from the world of "Bleach")]
This mission had been completed after he walked into the Fairy guild, but he just hadn't claimed it yet.
Sode no Shirayuki—known as the most beautiful ice-type Zanpakuto in the Soul Society.
Roland fell into deep thought.
This reward was actually quite good, but the problem was that it seemed he had no use for it.
The second-stage Resurrección of Murciélago was better than Sode no Shirayuki... and this thing's Bankai would change his appearance.
If he remembered correctly, the user would get white hair and wear a white kimono.
Picturing the scene after Bankai, the corner of Roland's mouth twitched slightly.
"Can this thing be used by others?"
He asked in his mind.
[This Zanpakuto has been adapted. With the host's consent, its use is not restricted to anyone other than the host!]
[Please note: Overuse of this Zanpakuto carries a serious risk to life!]
As expected!
A slight smile appeared on Roland's lips as he thought about who to give Sode no Shirayuki to.
First, a female with weak strength—that would have to be the slave, Knightwalker!
With the Slave Contract to bind her, he didn't have to worry about her betraying him.
"I'll have Knightwalker try it out tonight."
Roland said to himself.
After making his decision, he looked at the next two refreshed missions.
[Mission Two: The Dragon Slayer's Doomsday!]
[Mission Description: Let those arrogant Dragon Slayers see your true strength. Please defeat five Dragon Slayers!]
[Mission Reward: Digivice (from the world of "Digimon")]
...He wanted it, but he couldn't complete it.
The two of them had to stay in Edolas for three days, and he couldn't find any Dragon Slayers here.
[Mission Three: The Fairy Queen's Defeat!]
[Mission Description: Duel with the most admired Erza. See who can get the most 'times' in three hours!]
[Mission Reward: Three Senzu Beans (from the world of "Dragon Ball")]
Wait—what does 'times' mean?
Is this duel really a proper one?!
