Black Iron Magician

Chapter 433 Sisters are Good Friends

Lilyvia and Odile unexpectedly joined forces. However, they were supposed to belong to different sides. Lilyvia still couldn’t understand why Odile disturbed Ursula. In the first place, the two of them rarely talked to each other since one is always sleeping and the other one is a shut-in.

「…… What’s the meaning of this, Odile?」

It wasn’t just Lily that wondered about Odile’s action. Having her attack interrupted and her own explosion on her face, Ursula couldn’t help but wonder about it.

The power of the explosion was concentrated on a part of Ursula’s face, so her face was in a miserable state that it was completely blown off. Even though it was her own explosion, she received it at zero distance, so it was a matter of course. However, Ursula questioned Odile with a gentle voice as if she was trying to rebuke her sister. But contrary to her voice, angry veins popped on her head.

「Ugh, she’s still alive even after that? Is she immortal?」

「Her immortality is enviable, but it’s no wonder if Ursula-oneesama is alive since her ability is the closest to Mama. Lilyvia, do you think Mama will die if her head is blown away?」

「No, not at all.」

Lilyvia answered immediately. She’s well aware that Ursula’s regeneration is extraordinary, even though it’s not as much as Maria’s. In fact, right after Ursula’s face was blown away by the explosion, most of her face was already regenerated. On top of that, she is looking at Lily and Odile with bloodshot eyes, and her mood is the worst of the worst. In short, she’s really scary.

「I’m asking you, Odile. Depending on your answer, it won’t end with just punishment.」

「Ah, I want to hear that too. It’s troubling since I don’t know whose side Odile-oneesama is on.」

「…… I awaken to true love and friendship.」

「「Ha?」」

Hearing Odile’s words, Lilyvia and Ursula have question marks on their heads. The tense air was shaken, but it returned immediately.

「…… Just like Lilyvia, it seems that you want to make me angry, huh. Do you want to die that much?」

「No, I can’t die here. I’ve been staying in Crimson Country, so I didn’t know much about the outside world. But they taught me.」

「Taught you?」

「Yes, my first friends… no, my best friends taught me that the world is so bright and kind! And my beloved Gobuo-san taught me about love!」

The tense air softened with the sudden bombshell remark. Lily and Ursula can only stare at Odile, who is on fire like nothing they’ve ever seen before.

「I decided to leave the Crimson Country and aim to be myself that doesn’t envy others, but is envied by others instead.」

「… In other words, you’re deserting?」

「It’s not that simple!」

「Eh, ah, okay…」

Ursula was being pushed instead.

「Gobuo-san said he likes me to live that way! As a first step towards that, I’m going to stand on Gobuo-san’s side. This, so to speak, is a decision I made because I am a woman in love! I will leave my comfort zone for a journey to train to be a b-b-b-bri――to improve myself to become a woman worthy to stand by Gobuo-san’s side!」

‘I’m sure she was going to say bride, but she changed it since she was too embarrassed’ Lily thinks so.

「Now, envy me, Onee-sama! I’m reluctant to fight with Lilyvia, but every time you envy me, I’m reborn as a new me!」

「Hou, you’re quite brave. But rather than envy you, I’m angry at you…!」

The ballroom is filled with tense air again.

(Odile-oneesama is serious, huh. Ursula-oneesama is inexperienced, so the topic about love is a taboo among taboos. That’s why she hates to hear her younger sisters talk about such things. She is so angry that she explodes like a volcano. Even Katarina-oneesama won’t talk about her lust in front of Ursula-oneesama. Therefore, I believe that the words and actions of Odile-oneesama are trustworthy. The problem is whether she can work well with me. If we can do that, we should be able to find a way to win. Ah come to think of it, the name that just came up―― okay, maybe I can gain Odile-oneesama’s trust with this…!)

The youngest sister Lilyvia isn’t concerned at all about the changing situation. Instead, she seems to have come up with some good plan, taking a hint from Odile’s change of heart.

「Hey, Odile-oneesama. Cloud it be that Gobuo you’re talk――」

「――It’s Gobuo-san.」

「Ah, yes…」

However, she was overwhelmed by Odile, who was probably angry when she called Gobuo casually.

「I don’t care about that Gobuo or something, it doesn’t matter right――」

「――I say, it’s Gobuo-san.」

「………」

Incidentally, Ursula was also overwhelmed. The eldest sister was taken aback and froze up by her sister’s unexpected words.

(She also overwhelmed Ursula-oneesama, huh. Should I call this a kind of trance state? The power of love sure is great~. It’s scary in a different sense…. Well, she’s one of the Irygal Sisters, so it can’t be helped if she’s a weirdo!)

Lilyvia thought so as if it was someone else’s problem. She seems to be completely unaware that a large boomerang is returning to her.

「W-Well… Gobuo-san is a goblin with red skin and slightly different from the normal ones, right? He’s the one who’s with Therese-chan and the others, right?」

「Fuwah!? L-Lilyvia, h-how did you know that person’s characteristics!? And you even know my best friends…!?」

「Well, I came together with them, so I know them, of course…. Still, it’s good for you, Odile-oneesama. I can help you with your love, you know?」

「!? Please tell me the details!」

Lilyvia explains the relationship between her and Gobuo. She says that they are both working in the same workplace. She says that she’s the senior of Gobuo’s boss (Haru), and she also says that she can let Odile meet him in a good way if she wants to. She says that she’s ready to support Odile’s love…!

「Lily-senpai, I’ve always thought that you were different from the other sisters. Specifically, I was super envious and super respecting you! I want to be like Lily-senpai!」

「You can, of course! After all, we are bound together by the bond of sisterhood! But first, let’s bring down the eldest sister who is interfering with our love life! That’s the first step to love!」

「You guys…!」

It was a strong bond. The sisters, who had always hated each other, became incredibly close in this one moment. Beyond the goal of defeating the obstacle in front of them, they found the hope of fulfilling their own desires.
