  I need to describe how I felt after i realized that Karen was the person who had been attacked by the dragon .

  What was she doing here? She should have been home at this time .

  “What are you doing here?”


  “.…… um, what about you? What are you doing here?”


  Karen replied to my question with another question while gazing at the collapsing dragon .

  Well, who wouldn’t want to ask such a question?

  Asking the person who was fighting against a dragon was way more interesting than answering my question, after all .

  “Ah…… dragon extermination?”


  “Why are you answering with a question?!”


  I got confused and ended up replying in a weird way .

  Karen, who complained about my answer, changed her expression suddenly and started to fluster .

  “Wa- behind you!!”


  Karen made an uproar as she pointed at something behind me .

  That something was none other than the dragon, who rose up and was about to throw its flames at us again .

  “Gyaaaa!!”


  Although, I had already known about it from the start .

  I kicked the ground with my foot as I turned toward the dragon .

  “You’re to persistent . ”


  With my kick, a giant dirt wall materialized between the dragon and us, obstructing the flames .

  A dirt wall was more than enough to block the breath of a weakened dragon .

  “Give it a break already and drop dead . ”


  As I addressed the dragon with those words, I used a wind blade to behead it behind the wall so that Karen won’t be able to see anything grotesque .

  “Gyaaaaaaa!!”


  The last roar of a weakened dragon who had now lost its head reached our ears from behind the wall before it turned into light particles .

  This time around it was done .

  “What was that just now?”


  I felt relieved after finishing the dragon, and Karen was mute from witnessing my abilities .

  That’s bad . I ended up using magic as if it was a normal situation .

  Well, she had already seen the entire fight earlier so that didn’t matter . But still, how was I supposed to explain things to her?

  I was at loss for words .

  “Errm, it’s a magic trick……”


  That was my desperate excuse .

  “C’mon, there’s no way that could the case . ”


  Karen answered me with a mocking tone . I know right? No way, right?

  Why the heck did I pick a lame excuse like a magic trick?! That just made me sound like some old man .

  “Ah, more importantly . ”


  Doing something about the current situation was more important now .

  The city must be in a great fuss by this time . I made a magic skill that would serve as a full solution to the problem .

  This should do it . The memories of everyone in this city will be erased if I used this skill, and I gave it a shot .

  First I had to specify the range using .

  I chose the whole city, except for the place we were standing . The reason I wouldn’t be using it on Karen was because I would probably faint from the loss of magic power once I used it .

  That was why it would be better to leave one person who remembered what happened, and if it was Karen, I wouldn’t mind speaking to her about my abilities . I finished assigning the range and activated the magic to delete the memory of every single person inside this city .

  (Erase, start . )

  The moment I chanted the spell in my mind, I felt every bit of strength leaving my body .

  It was proof that I was using a great amount of magic .

  As my magic was getting extracted, my head started to ache . So it came to this after all .

  “Eh, wai- what’s wrong?”


  Seeing me holding my head with both of my arms so suddenly, Karen approached me .

  I forgot to tell her about that .

  “Karen…… I will…… be fainting…… for a…… . while now…… . Leave it to…… you . ”


  I desperately conveyed to Karen while fighting against the pain .

  My endurance somehow bore fruit and I acquired a new skill .

  That was appreciated . With this skill I can reduce the time I was unconscious from fainting .

  I finally lost consciousness while thinking that I was lucky .

  ———————————————————————————————————


  I was in a slightly confusing situation now .

  A dragon attacked me then Onii-chan defeated it, but when I asked him about what happened he suddenly fainted . I became unable to tell what was going on .

  Right now, Onii-chan was asleep with his head on my lap . I couldn’t let him sleep on the ground, so I thought I’d let him use my lap .

  The ground was slightly hurting my legs but it wasn’t such a big deal . I remained sitting with only the least idea of the situation .

  “So, he saved me once again . ”


  The only thing I knew was that I was rescued by Onii-chan again .

  He always came to save me in these kind of situations . It was the same even at that time before .

  It happened when I was still in grade school getting bullied .

  At that time, I didn’t have any counter-plans nor did I have the courage to stand against the girls who were bullying me .

  “Kamiya, why do you still come to school?”


  “You don’t have to come here anymore . ”


  “You’re an eyesore . ”


  I was crying and closing my ears while being surrounded and getting abused by my classmates in a hidden place .

  I’m tired of this, I want to die .

  The moment when I was about to reach the end of my patience……

  “What are you doing to my little sister?”


  My big brother came in sight .

  At that time he used to be the quiet type who spent his time observing his surroundings .

  Onii-chan then started disputing with the girls who were bullying me and……

  “Do you enjoy doing something like this?”


  “That doesn’t concern you anyway . ”


  “If you got time to bully someone go spend it doing something else . ”


  “The real eyesore is you!”


  The girls who were bullying me recoiled from his insults and escaped .

  After making sure they were gone, he turned to me, who was sitting on the bare ground, and offered his hand to help me up .

  “Let’s go home, Karen . ”


  Hearing his words, I began crying for a different reason again . I still remember the nervous face he made at that time .

  From that time on, all the bullying from my classmates stopped .

  It was because someone took pictures of them bullying me and scattered them in the school .

  It was obviously his doing, but Onii-chan kept on feigning ignorance .

  Thanks to that, not only the bullying halted but even the girls who abused me transferred to another school .

  This time he will probably try to deny what happened today, but I will surely make him confess the truth .

  “Thank you…… Onii-chan . ”


  I said to my unconscious elder brother .

  When Karen and Yato were in grade school .

  “Onii-chan, it was you who scattered the pictures in school, right?”


  “No . ”


  “It’s you right?”


  “I told you no . ”


  “So it’s not you, after all . ”


  “No, it’s m- aah . ”


  “So it’s you . ”


  “No, you lured me to say no . ”


  “I will take your words as a confirmation . ”


  “Where did you learn that line?”
