In a Different World with a Smartphone Chapter 338: Younger Sister, and the Black [Crown].

Several dragons are lying down on the beach at Dracliff Island. None of them are dead; however, theyve all received severe wounds, and probably wont wake up anytime soon.

In front of the barrier preventing intruders from entering the island (except dragons) that stretches across the beach, a girl stood on top of one of the fallen dragons with a haughty posture.

The young girl was wearing something like the black goth-loli dress Rin always wears, and standing behind her was a small black knight-looking golem with a long muffler. Besides the golem was a maid with violet-colored short-cut hair who looks apologetic for some reason. Why a maid?

I did hear that shes a kid, but shes pretty small. Suu No, I think shes even younger than our maid Rene. Around six or seven years old? Despite her youth, one can feel some sort of dignity in her atmosphere as she stood glaring this way with an almost-arrogant look.

Im looking at her using [Long Sense] from the villa situated within the center of the island, so she shouldnt be able to see us here

Thats your sister?

Instead of answering my question, Dr. Elka who was looking at the image I projected into the air nodded her head quickly. Eh, whats with all that sweat? Is she scared?

Anyways, lets go talk to her. If Dr. Elka explains to her, Im sure

Dont wanna!

She strongly refused. Not only that, but she also began clinging onto one of the trees in the courtyard in desperation.

Shell definitely get angry you know! That child is scary when shes angry! If she gets angry at you once, you would understand too!

Are you a kid!?

Looking at the girl whos hugging the tree and shaking her head while shouting dont wanna repeatedly with a half-crying expression, I really cant see her as the elder sister of the girl currently being projected in the air. Or more like, shouldnt this side be the younger sister?

The people there, me, Yae and Hilda, looked at each other with troubled faces. When an older woman is throwing a tantrum like this in front of you, you would naturally have no idea how to deal with this.

I turned to the wolf-type golem, Fenrir, next to Dr. Elka with a look that says Oi, do something.

Mu. Master is weak against her sister after all. Furthermore, since this time Elka just took off by herself on her journey and did not contact her sister at all, the other side should be quite angry. I dont think theres anything I can do here

Didnt contact her at all Why-degozaru? You couldve sent a letter or something whenever you stay at a town

If I sent a letter she would be able to pinpoint the origin! If she knows where I am shell definitely come and catch me!

Weve got a fugitive here Still, shes that scared of making her younger sister angry, huh. Also, if she had communicated with her sister properly before going off on that journey of hers, she wouldnt be angry would she?

Master jumps into action as soon as she thinks of something, after all. If she becomes interested, she wouldnt hesitate in throwing away everything else and focusing on that alone. Its a bad habit of hers.

Yeah, I feel like Ive understood that part of hers as well. Its to the degree where she asked to go to a different world without hesitation. Its probably normal for her sister to be angry at her.

Well, standing around here isnt gonna get us anywhere.

Anyway, come on, lets go.

Idontwanna!

Hilda grabbed Dr. Elkas arms and tried to drag her away, but she clung onto the tree with even her legs, showing off her determination of not budging from this spot no matter what.

Sigh, this kid-throwing-a-tantrum case here

For the moment, can Touya-dono speak with Masters sister first? If you explain the situation, her anger may subside somewhat I think.

Ehh

Im bad at dealing with that type of children That time with the fiance of Paluf Kingdoms boy king, Rachel, too, she picked a fight with me and I ended up making her cry.

No matter how I look at her, shes younger than Rachel too; would she even understand it properly if I explained to her?

After asking Yae and Hilda to watch over Dr. Elka to prevent her from escaping, I reluctantly proceeded down the path that leads to the beach.

Imouto-san is still standing on top of the unconscious earth dragon she was on, and glaring in this direction while folding her arms.

Just like that, the two of us faced each other with the barrier between us. Since theres the added height of the dragons body, I was the one who had to look up.

Youre the Mochizuki Touya that the king of Primula talked about?

The young girl opened her mouth while sending me a condescending (shes forced to look down on my physically, so) gaze. O-oh. She definitely sounds like a strong-willed girl.

Since she also has enough ability to come all this way, this probably wont go down well

Aah. And youre the younger sister of Dr. Elka? Whats your name?

Norn Whats with that face?

Ah, no. I have an acquaintance with the same name, so.

Seems like I let a bit of my surprise show. The same name as one of our knight orders vice commander, the wolf beastman, Norn-san. Well, its not a rare name, so this kind of thing could happen once or twice. Their personalities are pretty different, though.

And so? Where is my sister? (Note: she calls her sister onee.)

Shivering in fear up there. Says she doesnt want to come down.

I was going to let you off with a single hit if youd obediently handed my sister over, but a hostage?

Hah?

Noir!

Upon hearing the young girls command, the small knight-like black golem behind her began running towards the barrier, and unleashed a full-force punch towards it.

Of course, it could not penetrate the barrier, and its small fist was blocked by the invisible wall.

To think shed come swinging all of a sudden, oi. Shes quite the decisive girl

Ano, please listen to me. I dont remember ever kidnapping your older sister. She was the one who tagged along

Noir! [Summon Weapon], No.10 [Newton]!

Roger.

Before I could finish saying you know, the black golem before me Most likely, the black [Crown]; it was swinging a gigantic hammer, which appeared in its hands before I realized, at me. Its huge!

While the golem itself doesnt even reach a height of 1 meter, the size of the hammer is around that of a microvan.

With a *Gakyann* sound like that of breaking glass, the barrier broke under the attack. Fumu, to be able to break that barrier, that isnt an ordinary hammer, is it?

Noir! [Summon Weapon], No.09 [Schrodinger]!

Roger.

As the black [Crown], Noir, answered the command of Norn who is its master, the giant hammer disappeared from its hands to be replaced by two magic guns. (Note: I have no idea what these are. The kanji used mean magic guns, but the katakana name says spell caster. Is it a type of weapon that appeared in the novel before? If so, I cant remember.)

Lightning is unleashed from the twin guns. It seems that the power has been reduced to a level that wont become fatal, but that doesnt mean Im gonna sit here and take the hit.

[Absorb].

I erased the incoming lightning with absorption magic. Several more shots were fired, but all of them dissipated before me.

For now, I need to do something about this golem. Since I cant just damage it, guess Ill seal its movements.

[Prison].

Theres that hammer from earlier as well. Just in case, the prison magic I used on the black [Crown] had a bit of divinity mixed in.

The black [Crown] was encased in a translucent prison cube with 1 meter edges. Leaving that golem aside, I tried to jump up to where Norn was at the top of the dragon.

Master!

The short-cut maid-san charged at me to prevent that while brandishing a slender sword she took out from somewhere. How dangerous Ill have you stay still for a while as well.

[Paralyze].

Dodging the tip of the sword being thrusted at me, I grabbed the wrist of the maid before casting paralysis magic. I thought she would stop moving with this, but for some reason the maids movements arent affected at all.

!?

I avoided the blade which swept horizontally to catch me. Although her physical abilities are high, her swordsmanship is amateurish, so it isnt hard to dodge her swings.

[Paralyze] was ineffective? Tch, maybe she has something like a protective talisman. I had thought that the people in this world wouldnt have things like that

Sorry about this. [Gravity].

Kya!?

I touched the maid-sans shoulder and activated weight manipulation, making her kneel down on top of the sands due to her increased weight.

Kuh!

Norn pulled out a magic gun from within her clothes and pointed it down towards me. Oops, that wont do.

[Slip].

Hya!?

Norn slipped and fell from the top of the earth dragon and landed on her butt on the beach. Before she could get up, I sealed her in a [Prison] like how I dealt with Noir earlier. Alright, checkmate.

Ku! Open up, damn it! You coward! Kidnapper! Ero magic user!

Ero magic Do I really have that kind of impression?

I began feeling a mysterious sadness while looking at the young girl whos pounding on the walls of the [Prison].

Ah, dont tell me shes thinking I kidnapped Dr. Elka while aiming for her body or something like that? Please dont joke with me.

Thinking that I need to correct her misunderstanding from the base up, I plopped myself down on the beach.

And as you can now see, it was Dr. Elka who asked to be brought along to our world. She was pretty forceful as well. Got it?

Got it. There are several points which I still cant consent to, but I understand the situation now. My sister has caused you trouble.

I relaxed since she finally became understanding. I was worried if a kid like her can understand talks concerning an alternate world and whatnot, but should I say as expected of the younger sister of Dr. Elka whos called a genius in this world, she seems to be quite smart as well.

Since Ive understood your situation now, could you release this?

Ah, sorry.

Norn tapped the walls of the [Prison] with an unhappy face.

I also released the [Prison] trapping Noir behind me, and removed the effects of [Gravity] from the maid.

Maid-san stood up while brushing sand off herself before making a small bow.

Well then, once again. Im Norn Patolaqshe. The golem there is Noir, and the one here is Elfrau. Eh, why with that face again?

Ah, well Theres a country named Elfrau in our world, so Im surprised.

Hmm. How confusing.

It really is.

I am called Elfrau. If its too confusing, please call me Frau.

Elfrau-san said something similar to our ero-maid, Cesca. Isnt it supposed to be Eru there? Cesca too didnt go for Fran even though her full name is Francesca. Is this some kind of rule?

So, my stupid sister is up there?

Norn asked that while pointing at the villa standing midway up the mountain visible from here. Stupid sister Even though shes technically a genius golem engineer; but well, I guess that sort of thing doesnt really matter to her own family.

Fenrirs there too. Dr. Elka was shaking in fear when she thought about how you might be angry at her.

Yes, of course I am. Ignoring the fact that she up and left without a word, spending two whole years drifting around? Drifting here, drifting there, causing trouble everywhere she goes, and worst of all, she leaves the cleanup of all those troubles to me! Thanks to her, Ive been dragged into things like being seen as an assault suspect and being chased around by a greedy casino owner Ive got oh-so-much things I want to say to her!

Although it probably cant be described with years of grudge, it seems like shes accumulated quite some unpleasant things. Since theyre sisters, I guess the wise thing to do here is to not excessively interfere.

Youve sure had it tough even though youre a kid. To have worried her little sister so much, what a bad elder sister

Ah, dont!

Warning, forbidden words.

The maid Frau-san and the black [Crown], Noir, opened their mouths at the same time.

Eh? And while I was distracted by the two, I didnt notice Norn who had brandished the magic pistol in her hand.

From point-blank range, a metal-wood composite block flew at a considerable speed and hit the spot between my legs squarely.

Fu!? Guho!

I cannot form voices. Expelling all the air in my lungs, I kneeled down on top of the hot sands and curled into a fetal position while holding that with both my hands.

This I can feel, greasy sweat dropping, down my face like a waterfall Wait a minute! This is too much!

When there is so much pain that one cannot keep on standing and can only squirm on the ground.

This is exactly that

Dont treat me like a kid! Im 15 years old you know!!

Shes saying something, but my brain isnt working well Fi-fifteen? The same age as Elze and Linze? Ha Fu Breathing is painful I feel like I can see a field of flowers You would never understand this pain A perfect surprise attack aimed at a vital spot is super-effective

A-are you ok!?

Im Not ok, but Let me, stay Like This for, a while

Frau-san rushed over in a panic, but I stopped her from approaching with my hand. Theres nothing others can do regarding this. I can only wait for the pain to pass away

That reminds me, a similar thing has happened in the past That time I got stepped on by the clumsy manager of the [Warehouse], Parshe I didnt think I would receive this damage again

Short temper, apologize.

Ku The other side said something rude first!

Even the golem is accusing the masters behaviour. Well, if she was really a six-years-old girl then this much mightve been forgivable, but for a fifteen-year-old teen Wait, even if shes really 6, is this forgivable?

I suppose she has some serious complex regarding her looks; no matter how you look at her, she looks like a six- or seven-years old kid Its not as if shes from a long-lived race like Rin, so just what is going on

While enduring the dull pain coming from my lower half, within my muddled consciousness, I swore to enchant my pants with [Shield] from now on.

Author note:

I thought about changing the names of the characters, but since I have some attachments, I decided to let them through in the end.
