Chapter 374 Kidnapping IV
「Hmm….」
After sniffing a lot, Satella groaned while crossing her arms as if trying to remember something. Haruna and Chinatsu looked at each other, and they tilted their head at the same time.
「Um, did you smell something strange from me? I thought I was keeping myself clean, though….」
「Eh? Ah, no, that’s not it! Haruna-chan’s smell is so wonderful that I want to smell it forever! It’s really good! Of course, Chinatsu-chan’s smell is good too!」
Satella made a big circle with her arms to emphasize the greatness of their smell. Apparently, she wasn’t bothered by the smell of the two.
「Is that so? Ehehe~. She praised us, Chinatsu-chan.」
「W-Well, I guess that isn’t a bad thing…. By the way, what was it that was bothering you?」
「You see, I smelled a little nostalgic smell from Haruna-chan. Just like yours, it’s a good smell, and I feel like I’ve smelled it a few years ago.」
「Eh…. Y-You remember the smell from that long ago? Moreover, it’s amazing that you can smell it through Haruna….」
「I’m confident with my nose even among my family!」
Satella is proud of her extraordinary nose. By the way, there’s a rumor among the Great Eight Demons that it’s impossible for Rimudo to cheat on his wife.
「If the smell remains on me, it means that it’s the smell of someone I met recently, right? And she’s met that person a few years ago….」
「Satell-san doesn’t seem to remember it, and I’m sure it isn’t Nell-shishō. Then, it’s either Zeta-san, Therese-san, Weerel――」
「――THAT GIRL!」
The moment Chinatsu mentioned Weerel’s name, Satella pointed her finger and shouted while being somewhat excited.
「T-That girl…?」
「The true identity of the good smell! Ah~, now that I remember it, I feel refreshed~」
「I see. It’s true that Wee-chan’s smell left an impression on me too! It’s an elegant smell with a distinctly refined quality.」
「Haruna!?」
For some reason, Haruna agreed with Satella. Even if it’s not as good as Satella’s, Haruna has a good nose too. It’s especially better than that of a wild dog-type monster.
「Haruna-chan, you sure understand it well~. Also, what’s with that nickname!? Wee-chan!? That’s so cute! I’m going to call her that, too. By the way, where’s Wee-chan now?」
「Right now? I think she’s in Adelheit.」
「Ah, then it’s okay. Adelheit is the magic kingdom on the continent of Jiba, right? I know the general location, so let’s make her the target of the magic. Above all, I want to meet her!」
「…… Um, Satella-san? About that magic, could it be…」
「Yes, Raptiolenis~!」
Satella releases her magic power. Then, the window of the house suddenly opens and a refreshing breeze blows into the room. The wind is imbued with magic power, and it’s slowly and gradually gathering around the seat beside Satella. However, at the next moment, the wind suddenly scattered. It went back outside through the window and even properly closed it.
「………」
「W-Wee-chan!?」
「Yay, it’s a great success ♪」
Surprisingly, Weerel, who was supposed to be on the continent of Jiba, was sitting next to Satella. Perhaps she was in the middle of dinner, she’s holding a knife and fork in her hands, wearing a white napkin on her neck, and has a slight sauce on her mouth. It seems that it was also too sudden for her. She blinked several times and looked around slowly. However, she remains expressionless as usual.

Recognizing that Haruna, Chinatsu, and Satella are in this place, Weerel removes the napkin from her neck and wipes the sauce on her mouth. Her gesture was graceful and she didn’t seem to be upset.
「I want an explanation…. By the way… I was in the middle of a little dinner party…!」
No, it was wrong. It’s hard to tell from her expression, but Weerel is angry. Even though she’s young, she inherited the position of Mage Prime Minister from Joseph, and now she lives a busy life. Even now, she was in the middle of an important dinner party. If she suddenly got teleported on such an important occasion, it’s natural for her to be angry. Of course, Haruna and Chinatsu immediately noticed it.
「Wee-chan, long time no see! I guess you’re not in the mood for that now….」
「I’m sorry, Wee! Satella-san, Wee is in an important position in Adleheit, so it’ll be a problem if she disappears! Please send her back!」
「Eh? A-Ah~, I see~. Err, about that… I’m sorry! You see, that magic can only be used once a day. Um, I didn’t think that Wee-chan has become someone that important….」
「Wha!?」
「Achaa~….」
A shocking declaration of the usage limit came from Satella. 『Raptiolenis』 is a rare Mad Whirlwind Magic that could be acquired from a scroll. It’s a magic that could teleport a target to a designated place. It can be said that this magic is a better version of 『Telepolenis』, a magic that was used by Dinbellar, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Sea Demons, to teleport away from Deris and Nell previously.
Raptiolenis can be used as it is, but it has the advantage that the range of its effect can be dramatically expanded by using a catalyst related to the target. Unlike Telepolenis, which can only teleport the user and has a limited distance, as long as there’s a catalyst, Raptiolenis can teleport the target far away according to the ability of the user. There’s a restriction that it can only be used once a day, but this magic is terrifying enough. Furthermore, in Satella’s case, with her excellent sense of smell, the magic somehow confirmed the smell as a catalyst. Even if the target is on another continent, they could be teleported without any problem.
「It’s exactly 24 hours from now, so I can’t use it until tomorrow at this time…」
Perhaps Satella feels awkward, she turns her gaze away while poking her index fingers at each other. She seems to be acquainted with Weerel, but she didn’t know that Weerel was appointed as the Mage Prime Minister of Adelheit.
「Wee-chan, I’m really sorry. It’s because I asked Satella-san to show her magic….」
「No… I was able to get the gist of it… with the exchanges just now….. Haruna-san and Chinatsu-san are victims… and the main culprit is Satella-san, right…?」
「Yes, it’s as you say.」
This time, Satella obediently bowed her head deeply and apologized.
「Both of you… could it be that you were kidnapped by Satella-san…?」
「Rather than kidnapped, we were… invited to her house?」
「You don’t have to force yourself to defend her…. I was also kidnapped by Satella-san… when I visited this place a few years ago….」
「…… Satella-san. I think it’s bad to do it every time on the spur of the moment.」
「Wee-chan was so cute and smelled good, so I couldn’t help myself…. I deeply regret what I have done.」
Probably because she’s shaken, a dragon’s tail suddenly appears from around Satella’s buttocks. Having her tail revealed, Satella’s figure is like a dog who’s being sorry, so the three couldn’t help but want to laugh.
「P-Pfft…!」
Especially, Weerel cracked up and she lost her composure that her poker face collapsed. She turns around and holds her stomach while trying not to laugh.
「Haa, haa…. If you feel sorry, then it’s fine…. So, please erase the tail…!」
「But! Considering the trouble I’ve caused to Wee-chan, this is not enough!」
Perhaps because of her agitation, Satella’s tail is jumping up and down.
「It’s okay, it’s okay…. Please, stop that gesture… pfft…!」
Thus, Satella was pardoned.
