The Dignity of an Older Sister

(Thank you for reading at bayabuscotranslation.com)

“To think Bengal has already been defeated… honestly, I still find it hard to believe…” (Cyan)

In front of Cyan’s eyes, a muscular Minotaur was blown away. Then, a spider monster, Arachne, had its head crushed before it could spit its deadly poison thread. Both were powerful monsters that even the adult beastkin like Cyan and the others struggled against.

Yet, they were swiftly killed without hesitation by…

““Hm!”” (Arc/Iris)

The younger twin brother and sister they had just reunited with.

“…Yes… It’s gradually starting to feel real…” (Cyan)

Come to think of it, they had nearly wiped out half of the huge swarm of Anger Ants, which had given them great trouble, with just the three of them plus one (later it turned out a slime was also present). Though the human boy Leon had stood out, Cyan recalled how the twins had also shown unbelievable strength.

“Perhaps they are already stronger than me, their older sister…” (Cyan)

Wanting to show their power to their sister, the twins helped as they steadily cleared the dungeon.

“No matter how I think about it, they are definitely stronger… Ah, my dignity as an older sister…” (Cyan)

““Strong?”” (Arc/Iris)

“Yes! Both of you are very strong! And cute, too! There, there, there!” (Cyan)

““…Hm”” (Arc/Iris)

“Hehehehehe…” (Cyan)

Cyan stroked the twins’ heads and made a completely slack-faced expression. Her dignity was already long gone. Before long, the dungeon exit came into view. However, what they saw after leaving the dungeon was…

“Gyahahaha! These guys came out all on their own!” (Commander)

““Still here.”” (Soldiers)

The beastkin soldiers who had been present when they entered the dungeon. Despite having been beaten badly by the twins back then, the commander laughed loudly. But the moment Leon, the twins, and then Cyan came out of the dungeon, their expressions changed drastically.

“W-What… You guys aren’t…!” (Commander)

The soldiers hurriedly began to surround them, but the commander laughed again.

“Gyahahaha! This is perfect! To think you’d bring the rebel faction here yourselves! You just saved me the trouble of searching!” (Commander)

Though there was no need to search since the beastkin soldiers who entered the dungeon all retreated halfway. Looking closely, the beastkin soldiers appeared exhausted. Leon pitied the soldiers, thinking how tough it must be to have such an incompetent commander.

“Look at this!” (Commander)

Unaware of anything, the commander proudly presented it.

“Grrrrrr…” (Manticore)

Appearing was a manticore, a monstrous humanoid tiger about five meters tall.

“Gyahahaha! How about that! Surprised? This is a manticore, said to be uncontrollable and wild! But I tamed it with this magic whip!” (Commander)

He cracked the whip on the ground, producing a sharp sound.

“Now, go! Manticore! Devour them all! Gya ha ha, this will surely secure my promotion!” (Commander)

The manticore roared and leapt forward. The twins tried to step forward, but Cyan held them back.

“Leave it to me. I can handle this alone. (…I have to show that big sister can be impressive sometimes.)” (Cyan)

Cyan charged at the approaching manticore and delivered a strong heel drop to its humanoid face just as it bared its fangs to bite. A bone-cracking sound echoed.

“Gyaaaaaaaah!?” (Manticore)

The manticore screamed and thrashed violently.

“Annoying.” (Cyan)

“Gyan!” (Manticore)

She silenced it by kicking its lower jaw and immediately followed with a spinning kick. The manticore’s giant body was sent flying after being hit in the cheek.

“N-No way…” (Commander)

The commander was speechless.

“I vowed to defeat Bengal and trained countless times in the dungeon while nearly dying. Hunting monsters like this alone is nothing. Of course, I can also make you a bloodbath in an instant.” (Cyan)

“Eek…” (Commander)

(Heh, nailed it. Maybe I showed a little cool side as their big sister?) (Cyan)

While Cyan was quietly pleased inside, suddenly–…

A Catkin rushed to the camp set up before the dungeon entrance in a panic.

“L-Lagdo-sama!” (Commander)

The commander shouted.

“Gyahaha! You’re done for! This person is a direct retainer of the Beast King…! That disrespectful comment will immediately be reported to the Beast King–…” (Commander)

“Shut up!” (Lagdo)

“…Huh?” (Commander)

Suddenly shouted down by his superior, the commander emitted a startled voice. Lagdo ran to Cyan, panting, and knelt before her.

“I-I am terribly sorry, Cyan-sama! My subordinates behaved disrespectfully… Please forgive us!” (Lagdo)

“L-Lagdo-sama!? What is this about…?” (Cyan)

“Shut up! When did I give you permission to speak?!” (Lagdo)

“Y-Yes…” (Commander)

While scolding his subordinates, Lagdo desperately bowed his head. Apparently, he hurried to stop the army upon hearing that the Beast King had been defeated. Cyan was dumbfounded by his blatant change of attitude. At the same time, she became certain of one thing.

“…It seems Bengal has truly been defeated.” (Cyan)
