While I was enjoying a tea party with my twin sisters and Mio, the corner of my eye caught sight of Sebastian, who was walking towards me.

His old face looked hurried as if he wanted to inform me of an emergency that was happening in Marquess Rommel's territory.

When Sebastian was within my line of sight, he immediately gave me a bow before continuing his steps towards me.

"Good afternoon, Lily-sama."

"I hope my presence does not disturb the tea party you are having at this moment," Sebastian said in his friendly tone.

Cttaakk...

I put a cup of tea on the table and saw Sebastian, who had come in a hurry. His gasping breath indicated that he was trying to stay calm in front of me after traveling quite a distance between my father's study and the back garden of the Mansion.

"Seeing you walking in a hurry earlier, did something urgent happen?" I asked Sebastian in a calm, noblewoman-like tone.

"Yes, Lily-sama. This is an emergency where I have to hand over an important item like this to you, just in case," Sebastian said while showing a suspicious-looking magic bag.

Sebastian's hand immediately entered the magic bag and took out a magic robe that seemed to be of high quality.

Ptaapp...

Ptaapp...

Sebastian took out various items from the magic bag as if he were doing a fashion show because the items that came out of the magic bag looked like luxurious magic robes.

"Sebastian, is this an emergency… that you have to take out all these magic robes?" I asked Sebastian who was still busy taking out all these magic robes in front of me.

"Yes, Lily-sama. This is an emergency on the orders of Marchioness Amagi," Sebastian replied as he took out various staff that had gemstones and rubies on them.

Seeing all kinds of luxury items like that, I felt like I was watching a jewelry salesman trying to sell his wares.

"..." While waiting for Sebastian to do his job, my ears suddenly heard a happy voice coming from Alice and Alyssa.

"Ooh! Nice magic staffs! I like them all!" Alice squealed, seemingly attracted to the magic staff lined up before her eyes.

"Yeah, n-nice magic robe, it's even better than the magic robe I currently have.

Why did Sebastian take out a magic robe that has a much greater effect than the magic robe used by the royal family?

It's even far superior to the magic artifact from the Saintess of the Aurora Goddess Shrine," softly muttered Alyssa, who seemed to be observing the magic robe in front of her along with her chanting of analysis magic.

Seeing my twin sisters so enthusiastic, I felt like I was shopping at a mysterious magic shop that had suddenly appeared.

After Sebastian lined up the magic robes and magic staffs, my eyes suddenly fell on a military uniform that looked elegant and cool.

With its black and gold pattern and side edges engraved with the symbol of the Marquess Rommel family, my gaze immediately fell on it.

Pttaakk...

While my eyes were fixed on the military uniform, Sebastian suddenly put down a command baton that I had used before.

With his face looking calm, Sebastian seemed to be preparing a fitting statement about the military uniform and the command baton.

"Sebastian..."

Without waiting for Sebastian to finish preparing the right words for this, I immediately understood his intentions and purpose for doing something like this in front of me.

The magic robe and magic staff were clear signs that they were aimed at my twin sister. As for the military uniform and command baton, those were clear signs that they were aimed at me.

"This must be my father's doing?" I continued with a small sigh and stared at the military uniform in front of my eyes.

"..." Sebastian just remained silent and sighed.

"Yes, Lily-sama. The expedition you will undertake will be your training as a Matriarch in leading a small army of your choosing.

That is why Marquess Rommel has given you the official military uniform of the Marquess Rommel family and a command baton to lead your army," Sebastian said respectfully.

"Marchioness Amagi also agreed with Marquess Rommel's decision on this matter. She also gave her magic robes and magic staffs for all of her daughters to use," Sebastian continued, glancing at Alice and Alyssa who were impatiently choosing various magic equipment in front of their eyes.

Unlike Alice and Alyssa who were excited about this, I could see Mio making a disgusted face when she saw the magic equipment in front of her eyes. As a professional swordswoman and maid, Mio tried to hold back her disgust but her body that was shaking with disgust, looked cute.

It made me want to do something to tease Mio.

"Can I choose too?" I asked Sebastian.

"As I said before, Lily-sama. This is all for all of Marchioness Amagi's daughters, one of whom is you. Haven't you become one of Marchioness Amagi's beloved daughters?" Sebastian said with a smile towards me.

"Unfortunately, I'm not very skilled at using magic staffs or choosing the right magic robes," I replied, noticing Mio's facial expression, which looked unhappy and pouts at this.

"Alice... Alyssa... can you help me choose the right magic staff and magic robe?" I continued asking my twin sister a question and noticed Mio's surprised expression on her face.

Mio's body trembled even more as if she was holding back an unbearable feeling of disgust.

"U-Uumm... Lily-sama," Mio said something and seemed to want to reject this action of mine.

"Yes, Mio? Would you like to help me choose this too?" I asked Mio with a gentle smile towards her.

"Urrk!!" Mio looked panicked after hearing my question about this.

Brrrrrr!!

Srraaaakkk!!

Alice and Alyssa immediately stood up from their chairs to choose from the various magical equipment that Sebastian had taken out.

"Onee-sama, do you want to be a witch like me too?" Alice asked happily and jumped towards me.

The moment Alice jumped towards me, it made my body reflexively stand up from my chair and prepare to hug her body that was jumping towards me.

Buuuggghh...

By catching Alice's body that was jumping towards me, it made Alyssa do the same by jumping towards me as well.

Buuugghh...

Carrying the body weight of two girls who are entering the teenage stage like this, I feel the burden and responsibility of being their older sister.

"Alice... Alyssa... don't do something dangerous like that. Especially with Ellen flying around us," I said as I watched Ellen fly back towards me.

"Huh?" Ellen, who had just been flying here and there, looked confused about what had happened.

"My Monarch, what are you doing?" Ellen asked after flying away in satisfaction after getting her new name.

"Just enjoying the warm hugs from my twin sisters," I replied, stroking Alice and Alyssa's backs.

Caress...

Caress...

Hugging their backs, made Alice and Alyssa release their tight hug after jumping towards me.

"Ehehe... let's choose a magic robe and magic staff that suits Onee-sama!" Alice shouted with a cheer in her voice that seemed happy about this.

"Huuee?! M-My Monarch... Y-You want to use a magic staff instead of a melee weapon like me?" Ellen asked, throwing a question that cornered me.

"Am I no longer my Monarch's backup weapon after Momo?" Ellen continued to ask in a sad tone.

I suddenly felt a gloomy aura from Ellen.

After she got a name, she placed a hope on me to use it at any time. I'm like a swordswoman who would betray my main weapons to become a witch.

With my face still looking calm, I was a little confused between the two choices in front of me.

Satisfying my twin little sisters who wanted to see their older sister become a with or stay on the path of a swordswoman.

From the start, I was too skilled with the sword after forming the Ritual Linked with Mio. That made my skills as a witch a bit hampered compared to my twin sister.

"I'll still use you."

"It's just that I want to study my magic skills more deeply for now."

"You are also curious about the abilities of your Monarch who wants to be an expert in using magic abilities, right?"

"Just think of this as practice before making you a cursed katana that uses the Magic Blade attack style."

I tried to calm Ellen down. She seemed worried that her life as my cursed katana would be replaced by a magic staff.

"Calm yourself, Ellen. Our monarch wouldn't do such a despicable act," said Momo, making the situation a little calmer than before.

"I-Is that true?" Ellen replied, flying over to Momo's side who was leaning on my chair.

"Yes, our Monarch is not the type of person who has to be an expert in one thing.

Our Monarch will be strong with various weapons such as destructive weapons that will destroy anything in front of her," Momo replied, making me look like a natural disaster ready to destroy anything as a Monarch of Holy Destruction.

"Why do I sound like a natural disaster that will destroy anything in front of me?" I grumbled a little in response to Momo's words.

"Didn't that already happen?" Momo said quickly.

"Huh? What does it mean?"

"My Monarch... don't you remember that you tore the sky in Earl Timoti's main city… for the second times?" Momo said, making Sebastian surprised and widen his eyelids.

Sebastian's eyes fell on Mio.

"If I heard correctly the night before, didn't Lily-sama tear the sky in Earl Timoti's main city after accepting the challenge to a duel, right?" Sebastian asked Mio.

"Yes, that's what happened," Mio replied, nodding her head.

"Then, why did the weapon say that Lily-sama had torn the sky of Earl Timoti's main city for the second time?" Sebastian continued to ask, wanting to know this information.

"I don't know, maybe it happened after Lily-sama picked up the stealth slime herd in the middle of the night before?" Mio's words made Sebastian glance at me.

"Lily-sama, please don't make something so shocking and terrifying in other places. For those who live there, it will be a sign of a natural disaster," Sebastian said as if advising me about my actions the night before.

"I'm sorry about that," I said, lowering my face feeling guilty.

"But I had to do it to kill one of the troublesome cult members... and to release my momentary emotions after talking to a guy who would be rejected by all the girls with his disgusting tone," I said as I recounted the events of the previous night.

After I told them what happened that day, Sebastian and Mio seemed to nod their heads and said, "He deserved to die."
