17. The Showdown Ended. However...

“Miss Mary, Miss Victorica, there’s no reason for you two to fight— Huh?”

When I was done ‘persuading’ Victorica, I heard Lady Rain’s voice from afar. I turned to look in the direction the voice came from and found her approaching us in a pretty dress with makeup on, and vampire maids were being dragged along after her.

The maids were probably trying to stop her from coming over, but she hurried over despite that. Seeing her made me heave a sigh of relief, and I lowered my hands from the wall.

“I’m glad you’re safe, Lady—” I started speaking, but then Victorica bolted from behind me.

“Aaaaaaaaaaaah, big sisteeeeeer! I was scared! I was so scaaaaaaaaared!” The vampire girl ran over to Lady Rain in tears.

Lady Rain finally shook off the maids, only for Victorica to throw her arms around her next. Lady Rain started patting her on the head to comfort her.

What Victorica had said filled me with inexplicable anxiety. Did she just call Rain her “big sister”?! Oh, no, I have a bad feeling about this...

“So?! Why did all this happen? Explain yourself!”

We were led into Victorica’s guest room, where her maids served us tea. We decided to agree on a temporary truce.

“Waaah... Big sister, that evil vixen is frightening me!” Victorica, who was sitting on the two-seater sofa opposite mine, clung to Lady Rain’s arm. Lady Rain was sitting beside her with a very bemused smile.

“W-Well, um, yes, you should probably calm yourself, Miss Mary,” she said diplomatically.

I didn’t know when Lady Rain got so close to Victorica, but she seemed to be siding with her and trying to talk me down. Or rather, I wasn’t sure if they were getting along so much as Victorica was being one-sidedly attached to her...

“And, Miss Victorica? Why did you do all this?” Lady Rain kindly asked her in my place.

“L-Like I said... I wanted to compete with her...” Victorica muttered awkwardly.

“That’s what I don’t understand!” I said, flaring up again. “I’ve never met you before! Why is it so important we compete?! Did I do something to offend you?”

“Umm, I, uh, well...” Victorica became teary-eyed again, despite having just been calmed down by Lady Rain. Lady Rain patted her on the head gently.

What is this scenario? I feel like a second sister scolding the spoiled third sister for making a mess while the elder sister watches over the two of us kindly.

Thinking of that oddly specific image somehow took all the anger out of me.

“Lady Elizabeth said...” Victorica mumbled.

“Huh?” I stared at her, not expecting to hear that name brought up.

“Since I woke up early, I thought to go give my regards to her after so long...and all she would talk about was Mary this, Mary that... All I want is to be Lady Elizabeth’s dependable subordinate, and...and never before have I faced such humiliation!”

I’d gotten used to her waterworks so much that I was taken aback when she suddenly started sulking.

“Oooh, uh, so that’s... Hmm... That’s what happened, huh?” I said, recalling the events in the Relirex Kingdom.
