Even if I transform, I will never be captured.

"Those are the dragon's eyes."

"Oh, so it's a dragon's eye... What?!!"

Satella, realizing what was happening, nearly spat out a mouthful of blood, and just then—

"Bang!"

The sound of a colossal creature stomping on the ground echoed behind Satella.

Satella mechanically turned her head—

"Ow—"

The enormous dragon, as tall as a five or six-story building, roared at her, unleashing its malice—clearly, it wouldn't spare Satella and Elise just because they were pretty and cute.

"Run!"

Satella got up and ran, but after running a distance, she found that Elise was still standing in the same spot, motionless.

Was he scared out of his wits?

—If Elise were left alone, Satella could definitely escape using the speed granted by the clockwork bandages.

but……

"How could someone do something like this!"

A look of determination appeared on Satella's face as she opened the system interface—

"Don't worry, sister. Leave this dragon to me. I can handle it."

The girl standing in front said this.

Before Satella could understand the meaning of those words, the girl with her back to her drew the sword from her back.

—The light dispelled the darkness, and a sacred aura enveloped the sword. The girl in the blue and white battle dress was bathed in the light, shining like a Valkyrie.

"Whoosh-!"

Sensing the deadly danger, the dragon breathed its power at Elise, while the girl raised her holy sword above her head.

Then--

Cut him down!

A dazzling light cleaved the sky, shattered the earth, and even cracked the atmosphere. Magic was drawn into the vortex, and the world distorted by the slash's trajectory.

"Sacred EX-plode (Holy Burst)!!!"

Wielding the holy sword, the girl shouted out the name of the sword move.

boom!

The next second, the sky turned golden, and the entire forest... was flattened.

Satella: "..."

Why are you bullying the dragon like this? It's so pitiful.

For a moment, Satella even felt sorry for the dragon that had already perished. Then she realized that she had probably found a much stronger and more powerful backer than Youyou.

"Big sister, I'm amazing, aren't I!"

However, when the girl sheathed her holy sword, ran up to Satella, and tilted her head back with a cute expression that was a little smug, her previous Valkyrie-like demeanor instantly crumbled, making Satella smile involuntarily.

After all... he's still just a child.

"Yes, Elise is the best!"

Satella said this as she looked at the girl with a satisfied expression after her head-patting offensive.

Chapter 59 Satella - Testing Attributes

The wheels rolled over the bluestone floor, and with a rumbling sound, a carriage slowly passed through the city gate and drove into a quiet city.

The carriage curtain was half-lifted, and a small face rubbing its sleepy eyes peeked out of the window.

"...!"

Then, his pupils slowly dilated, and his azure eyes radiated excitement.

"Big sister! Big sister! We've arrived!"

Elise darted back into the carriage, grabbed the silver-haired girl who was still fast asleep, clutching her blanket, and shook her violently.

……

"Thank you so much for taking care of me along the way."

"Not at all, not at all. If it weren't for your help in driving away the wild beasts, the journey wouldn't have been so smooth. Here's some extra change, Miss, please take it."

This was a smooth road in the city of Axel. After completing the final handover, Satella took a huge money bag from the caravan leader, lifted the carriage curtain, and led Iris by the hand as they stepped down from the carriage.

The blinding sunlight streamed down from the sky, and Satella squinted, shading her eyes with her hand. When she opened them fully, a peaceful and tranquil yet vibrant town was reflected in her reddish-purple eyes.

"Finally...we're here!!!"

Standing on the wide road, with houses lining both sides, Satella stretched her arms toward the sky and let out a long-suppressed cheer.

After a day's journey out of the forest, Satella was fortunate enough to encounter a caravan heading to Axel by the roadside. She pawned the gems she carried to get enough money for the journey. After a day and a night, she finally arrived in Axel.

It's not easy!

Back then, whether in the world of Re:Zero or the world of A Certain Magical Index, all the troubles were resolved in less than a day, and then I enjoyed good food and comfortable accommodations.

But what about now!

They ate wild vegetables and dried rations. After two days and two nights of hard work, they only managed to get a quick nap in the carriage. The delicate skin on their backs still aches from the hard wooden planks of the carriage!

But all the hardship was worth it. Just thinking about being able to register as an adventurer soon filled Satella with energy.

I wonder what my attributes will be?

With this expectation, Satella took Iris's little hand and prepared to find someone to ask about the location of the Adventurers' Guild.

And at that very moment—

"Excuse me, do you know where the Adventurers' Guild is?"

Turning her head, Satella met the gaze of a boy wearing a green sweatshirt.

……

……

My name is Kazuma Sato. I was originally a Japanese man, but after I died, I was reincarnated into another world. For now, I'll just call myself an apprentice hero.

Because the other world is a very dangerous world where a demon king exists, everyone who is reincarnated into this world is given a divine artifact or a demonic artifact.

However, in a fit of anger, I chose to take away the goddess who was responsible for my reincarnation—I originally thought that I could live a life of luxury following the goddess, but I didn't expect that this goddess was a good-for-nothing.

With such a difficult start, I began to doubt whether I was really the protagonist in an isekai light novel.

However, only now am I absolutely certain that my life as the protagonist is about to begin!

If you were to ask why, it would be because of the two girls in front of them.

They appeared to be a pair of sisters.

The younger sister has long, radiant golden hair, an incredibly cute face, and bright blue eyes brimming with curiosity, perfectly embodying the ideal younger sister character.

If the younger sister is a kind of sister-type character that anyone would feel compelled to cherish and pamper, then the older sister is a top-tier beautiful girl that any boy would feel compelled to win over.

Her silver hair shimmered like moonlight, her jewel-like red-purple eyes, and her slender and perfect figure—her beauty alone was enough to set one's heart ablaze.

This is simply supreme beauty, a work of art created by God himself, the true embodiment of beauty.

That beauty would be enough to make her a 'female lead' in any anime.

That's right!

She's the female lead!

Clearly, this was destiny, a match made in heaven!

A boy reincarnated in another world meets a girl with stunning beauty in the starting village of that other world.

They were all newbies, all had just arrived in Axel, and were all preparing to go to the Adventurers' Guild to register as adventurers.

—It's as if I can foresee the future!

A boy and a girl, both adventurers, become companions with the goal of defeating the Demon King. They live together, slay monsters together, and grow together, forging a deep bond. At the moment the Demon King is defeated, their love finally blossoms. Before the crumbling Demon King's castle, amidst the raging flames, the boy and girl kiss, making a lifelong promise to stay together.

This is a flawless, standard isekai (another world) light novel!

……

"Kazuma, Kazuma, your smile is disgusting! Could you please wipe the drool from the corner of your mouth? And now it's your turn to register as an adventurer, can you hurry up?"

Staring at that clueless, useless goddess, Kazuma Sato grinned.

...Damn useless goddess, I'll throw you away as soon as I become companions with the real goddess!

Sato Kazuma very discreetly wiped his mouth and took out one thousand Eris.

The Eris is the currency unit of this world; 1 Eris is approximately equivalent to 1 Japanese Yen.

Of course, Kazuma Sato himself didn't have any money; he borrowed it from a girl named Satella.

Although he was a shameless otaku who sponged off his parents, Kazuma Sato still felt somewhat ashamed to borrow money from the heroine he had chosen.

But it doesn't matter. The boy named Kazuma Sato is about to begin his legendary life in another world. A mere thousand Eris is nothing to him!

With this conviction in his heart, Kazuma Sato handed the money to the counter clerk and then placed his hand on a funnel-shaped magical artifact.

—The magical artifact began to operate, and as he watched the dazzling light imprint the text of his various attributes on his adventurer card, Kazuma Sato clenched his fist.

—At this moment, I have grasped hope in my hands!
