Chapter 155.5 Nightmare ??
Part 1
Tino opened her eyes at the unexpected person who appeared.
Unlike the black robe she usually wore, she was dressed in a white and flowered pattern yukata. The contrast between her long, glossy black hair and her translucent white skin was so beautiful that it made me exhale a little bit.
She has a delicate atmosphere around her that made her feel like she could be broken at any moment, which is, of course, different from Liz Onee-sama and Sytry Onee-sama’s atmosphere.
“Lu-Lucia Onee-sama…… You can’t be serious, even Lucia Onee-sama!?” (Tino)
“? What are you talking about……?” (Lucia)
“………… Nothing. But, well, you see…… We are in Master’s~ room ?? And Master~ is in the middle of a bath, but……” (Tino)
Tino has interacted with all the Members of ?Strange Grief?.
Naturally, I also interacted with Lucia Onee-sama, but she always had a transcendental atmosphere around her that made me feel a little self-conscious.
When Lucia Onee-sama heard what Tino said, she blinked her eyes, but then sat down in seiza?next to Tino, made a small cough, and said.
Her long hair hung over her white yukata.
“I know. That is why I came here…… It has always been my role to keep an eye on things at times like this…… And so, why is Ti here?” (Lucia)
“…… I was, asked by Master~ to, keep an eye on things……” (Tino)
“Tsk…… Leader is forcing Ti to do the dirty work again.” (Lucia)
“N-no, I am doing it, because I want to!” (Tino)
Lucia Onee-sama frowned, but *pachiri* snapped her fingers without saying anything.
Cushions popped out of nowhere and fell to Lucia and Tino’s side. A teapot and cups flew in and started to make tea by themselves.
I was surprised when I first saw it, but it has always been the case that Lucia Onee-sama uses unusual magic that is different from other Magi.
“T-thank you very much.” (Tino)
“Don’t worry. Ti, if you want, you can go out and play. I will stay here.” (Lucia)
Lucia said as she opened the book she was holding in her arms. She seemed to be fully prepared for a long-term fight.
However, I can’t just leave. Tino is a loyal Hunter. I clenched my fists and declared.
“No, as this is an instruction given by Master~……” (Tino)
“I see…… Then, let’s keep watch together.” (Lucia)
“Yes~! I am looking forward to working with you~!” (Tino)
When Tino replied with enthusiasm, Lucia stared in wonder, smiled, and let out a giggle.
§
A faint, warm feeling against my back and a somewhat comforting feeling that goes through my hair.
Tino took off the ribbon she always wore and leaned her back against Lucia Onee-sama as she combed her hair.
The hand that ran the comb through my hair was so careful and delicate that it made my heart feel calm and peaceful.
The voice coming out from behind Tino was also gentle and kind.
“Even if you have Mana Material, Hunters’ hair can still get bad quickly if you don’t take care of it properly……” (Lucia)
“Yes…… I also want to grow my hair out like Lucia Onee-sama, but it isn’t quite……” (Tino)
Lucia Onee-sama’s long, shiny and beautiful black hair is something that every woman dreams of.
However, having your hair too long can be a disadvantage for Hunters. In response to Tino’s words, Lucia Onee-sama said.
“For a Magi…… Hair with strong magic power in it can be an easy catalyst to use. If you are a “Thief (Tozoku)”, you might not want to grow your hair too long unless you are as confident as Liz when you are moving.” (Lucia)
“Yes……” (Tino)
“Because putting aside your limbs, if you get your neck cut off, even Anthem-san won’t be able to heal you……” (Lucia)
“Y-yes. Moreover, it is also a hindrance when you are in close-quarters combat…… But when I become stronger someday, I will definitely let it grow like Lucia Onee-sama.” (Tino)
“However, it is a lot of work to take care of it ??” (Lucia)
Lucia Onee-sama said that in a small voice, picked up a strand of her hair, and placed it next to Tino’s cheek.
Even though we have the same black hair, I could feel from the pleasantly cool strands of hair, the time she took to take care of them.
“We will match together………… This might not be that bad of an idea.” (Lucia)
“! Yes~!” (Tino)
When I answered with twinkles in my eyes, Lucia Onee-sama *kusukusu* giggled and put the ribbon on me.
After all, I knew it, she is a very kind person. I knew I should move away since she has finished tying up my hair, but it was hard to leave.
And then, without warning, Lucia said.
“It’s coming…… Seriously, times, and times again, never learning their lesson……” (Lucia)
Her eyes had become so sharp that Tino couldn’t believe that they were the same eyes she used to look at Tino.
Before I could ask what was coming, the door opened vigorously. What appeared was another Onee-sama ?? It was the Onee-sama who was always energetic.
When Liz Onee-sama kicked the door, she stared in wonder at Lucia for a moment and started to run without hesitation.
While Tino was puzzled, she kicked on the wall and ran through the ceiling like magic.
“Cry-chan! I will wash your back!” (Liz)
“!? O-Onee-sama!? Right now, Master~ is ??” (Tino)
She didn’t listen to me at all. Just as I was about to stand up when I saw her running with her hems flapping immodestly, my Onee-sama who was running on the ceiling was suddenly pulled by gravity and fell to the ground with a loud noise.
The yukata that Liz Onee-sama was wearing was turning gray. After a delay, Lucia Onee-sama, who was behind me, said in a cold voice.
“?Turn to stone?” (Lucia)
“So terribleee~! What are you doinggg~!” (Liz)
Liz Onee-sama, whose clothes had been changed completely, rolled on the floor and looked up at Lucia Onee-sama.
“That should be my line. Times, and times again, never getting bored of it.” (Lucia)
“Haaaa!? It’s none of your business, Lucia-chan~! Shit~, it’s in the way~!” (Liz)
“?Become hard?” (Lucia)
Liz tried to break the petrified yukata by *bambam* punching it with her both of her hands, but even though she was hitting it with the strength that could destroy even metal to some extent, the yukata wasn’t damaged in the slightest.
In front of Tino, who was taken aback, Liz Onee-sama shouted.
“Aaaah! All right, all right~! You can come with me, Lucia, and at the same time Ti too, for all that’ll matter~!” (Liz)
When Lucia Onee-sama heard what she said, her eyebrows *pikuri* twitched.
“?Be gone?”

Seiza: it is a traditional way of sitting down in Japan. You kneel on the floor, fold your legs underneath your thighs while sitting on your heels.
