Brave Soul of Evil Supremacy

"Haah, haah, haah, haah... W-wait... I told you to wait... Zenon Baskerville..."

"...I've been waiting, for a while."

With the left and right side of her chest heaving, Electra finally made her way to us. As the princess of the Slayers Kingdom, she was repeating rough breaths while resting her hands on her knees.

"Well, well... if it isn't the esteemed Princess. Greetings."

I placed my hand on my chest and bowed my head toward the woman who was catching her breath.

Electra the Slayers.

She was the possessor of watermelon-like, well-endowed chest wrapped in a young grass-colored dress. One of the three princesses of the Slayers Kingdom. Her long, cerulean hair was tied up with a barrette, and her eyes shared the same color as her hair, reminiscent of the sea. She stood slightly shorter than Aeris. Her lack of agility was evident from the way she was running, swaying the two weights attached to her chest, a spectacle earlier.

In the game 'DunBrave,' depending on how the story unfolds, she can be recruited as a sub-heroine. Among players, she's nicknamed "Signal Blue of the Royal Three Sisters."

"So... What's the reason you stopped me? It's quite unusual for Princess Electra to summon me."

My relationship with Electra goes only as far as recognizing each other's faces, and this is the first time we're actually having a proper conversation. While I can have her join as a companion through various events in the game, I haven't triggered any of those flags. So, why did she bother chasing after me so determinedly while swaying those watermelon?

"H-Hold on... Give me a moment... I'll be alright... Haah, haah, haah..."

"............"

Electra continues to catch her breath. It's astonishing how long it's taking her to recover; it's almost comical.

"Zenon-sama."

"Yeah... Aeris, please."

"Understood."

Aeris, who was standing behind, steps forward and casts a spell on Electra.

"High Heal."

A green-hued effect envelops Electra. The magic heals her wounds and restores her energy, calming her down.

"Phew... Thanks, Aeris. Your healing magic is truly something."

"It's no big deal, Princess Electra."

"No, really, you're amazing. Did your magic skills improve after attending the academy?"

The two of them start a cordial conversation. It seems they're familiar with each other, sharing a comfortable camaraderie.

"It seems you are getting along well with Marquis Baskerville? You're not being mistreated or anything?"

"Of course, I'm fine. I'm being treated well."

"Really? I don't doubt your word... But since you've already moved to the Marquis's estate, I can't help but worry."

"Zenon-sama is not the sort of person the rumors make him out to be. I assure you of that, as his future wife."

Aeris stated firmly in a gentle tone.

"Once I graduate from the academy, we plan to hold a wedding ceremony, so princess, please do come and attend."

"Yes... Of course, I will be there to celebrate."

"...May I join the conversation now? Being left out is lonely and unbearable."

Interrupting the conversation, Electra finally turned her gaze toward me.

"Ah... I'm sorry if I stopped you. I didn't mean to."

"That's alright... But, may I ask, what brings you here? If it's just a talk with my fiancée, Aeries, perhaps you two ladies could have a leisurely chat over tea?"

"Actually... The reason I stopped you is because I has something to discuss with you."

"Whoa...!"

Electra straightened her back, adjusting her posture. This emphasized the curve of her chest even more, making her dress look like it might burst any moment.

"Ahem..."

Aeris cleared her throat and gave me a sidelong glance. It seems she noticed my gaze on Electra's chest. I suppressed the awkwardness that threatened to twist my face and turned my attention back to Electra.

"Ah... You want to talk to me? What exactly is the matter?"

"...It seems you met with my father earlier. He granted you access to the 'Eternal Library.'"

"Do you know about the 'Eternal Library'?"

The 'Eternal Library' is classified information known only to a select few, even among the royal family. It seems strange that Electra knows about it...

"I am a member of the royal family, but I also serve as the chief assistant to the Court Magician. Through that role, I was informed."

"I see..."

I vaguely remembered such a setup. It was information mentioned in supplementary materials that were released separately from the game, without being part of the main storyline. I nodded in understanding, and then Electra moved closer, looking earnestly at me.

"Marquis Baskerville... Take me to the 'Eternal Library' too! There's a reason I absolutely have to go there! Please, take me with you!"

"Huh...?"

"My father didn't give me permission... But if I'm with you, won't I be able to enter? Please take me!"

"............"

Stunned by Electra's request, I blinked in surprise. Aeris, standing nearby, was equally frozen.

Electra the Slayers.

The job she holds as an NPC is 'Druid,' a powerful magic caster.

For the conquest of the 'Eternal Library,' a skilled magic user is needed... It seems this powerful companion character in the role of a magic practitioner has approached us, without us even needing to search for her.
