Maru — So it’s a national thing, huh.
Yuuka — You’ll pay me back later, okay?
Maru-I apologize, You mean I'll give you back?
Maru- So, You and Shinken are really siblings huh? You guys don't resemble, and also are in bad terms
Yuuka-It’s because he took my precious treasure! He didn't steal it though
Maru- What's that?
Yuuka-Grandpa’s memento ring…
The one that was hanging around Shinken’s neck?
That’s a valuable cursed object owned by the Gojo family,
so it’s supposed to be held by a sorcerer more skilled than most.
Originally, it was with my parents, then suddenly my older brother was told to take it instead of me…
Maru- Is Shinken really that amazing of a sorcerer?
Yuuka-Not really!?!?
Usami-san also said that the two of us are about equal, right?
There’s nothing special beyond our age, though?
Maru-Tsurugi’s hardworking,
isn’t that a good thing…?
Yuuka-I don’t mean it like that!!!!
I mean, his effort is obvious to others!!!!
But he just shows off by only training his body!!!!
Yuuka-He’s just showing off to everyone!!!!!
“Look at me!! I’m growing!! I’m strong!!”
I don’t want him taking my ring!!!!!
Really the worst!!
He doesn’t even have any memories with Grandpa,
and I’m trying my best too…
Maru- Then let’s solve this pressure together, the two of us!!!!
Yuuka-Huh?
Maru- Actually, Yuuka wants to show off how amazing she really is.
Maru-Since we’re investigators,
if the two of us do it, it’ll effectively be like you completed the mission alone!!!!
Yuuka-No, normally, acting on your own like that is forbidden in this field…
Maru- I See!
