"The Talented Dragon Hides Its Claws" ~ The Eldest Son of the Baron Family, Called Useless, is Actually One of the World's Strongest ~ - Episode 26

Ryu, who had returned home to the Arden mansion, immediately headed towards his mother.

However, there is one problem. The issue is that I haven’t yet conveyed the purpose of this trip, which is to purchase the elixir. If my mother were to find out about this, she wouldn’t just scold me by saying, “What are you doing buying an elixir with the baron’s precious assets for my sake?!” but might even go as far as saying, “I absolutely refuse to drink it! Return it and get your money back!” Ryu’s stubbornness might be inherited from

Currently, Ryu is walking down the hallway with Sebas.

“Well then, how shall we deceive them?”

“When I happened to mention my mother to His Majesty, who was deeply moved by the story, he introduced me to a good apothecary who then compounded a special remedy for us at a low cost. How about that?”

“Your Majesty… this jest is a bit too much.”

“It’s true. You’ll see if you ask Stingray later.”

“R-really, did you actually meet Her Majesty the Empress?”

“Yeah. Apparently, they’ve had their eye on me since the war and talked to me at the restaurant. By the way, I also met the Sorcerer of the Abyss.”

“Not only His Majesty, but also the imperial magicians…”

Faced with an overwhelming amount of information, Sebas held his head in his hands.

“If we talk about that, she might be more distracted by the super big names like His Majesty or Zekkai than by the medicine, and Lady Iris might just drink it without hesitation.”

“In fact, since Yakuji Esther is also connected to His Majesty, everything except the medicine part is true.”

“Perfect. Let’s go with this.”

Straight to my mother’s bedroom.

Then, not only my mother but also my sister Lena happened to be there.

“Oh, Ryu, is that you? You must be tired from your long journey.”

“Brother!! Welcome back!!!”

Lena hugged Ryu.

While Ryu was stroking her head,

“I’m home. It’s good to see that both Lena and Mom are doing well.”

Starting with this greeting, he immediately began the usual story.

A few minutes later.

“Wait, wait a minute. His Majesty Iris, the Imperial Sorcerer… and a top-tier Apothecary with a special medicine…? That’s a bit too much information.”

“Your Majesty, magician, apothecary, Your Majesty, magician, apothecary…”

Both my mother and Lena were confused, unable to properly digest the overwhelming amount of information.

As planned. Now is the chance.

“However, if you don’t drink it quickly, the medicine’s effect might wear off. Besides, we can’t waste the medicine that was made thanks to His Majesty’s introduction, can we? I also plan to send a letter to Esther later.”

Saying that, Ryu forcefully pushes the elixir onto him.

“Th-this is all I have to drink, right?”

The doctor said, “Drink every last drop.”

“I understand.”

Finally, the moment has come.

“……” gulp gulp gulp

Ryu, Lena, and Sebas watch with bated breath.

Please. Get better.

Please‼ I want to see a healthy mom again…

God. Bless Iris-sama

And.

“Huh? The pain all over my body that had lasted for five years suddenly disappeared… and my body feels unbelievably light… it’s like I’ve become a different person.”

In short.

“You’re fully recovered. Congratulations, Mom.”

“Mother！！！！！！”

“Iris-sama, congratulations on your full recovery. And thank you for enduring such a long, long battle with illness…”

Ryu let out a sigh of relief.

Lena jumped on her still bewildered mother,

Sebas wipes his tears with a handkerchief.

My mother also expresses her gratitude with a gentle smile.

“Thank you, Ryu. And also to Lena and Sebas, who always support me.”

Tears also fell from her cheeks.

For a while after that, the room echoed with voices of joy.

The plan that had been ongoing for several months has finally been achieved.

For now, I guess it’s a wrap.

Afterwards, the three of them were walking inside the mansion with their mother, who had regained her health.

“Speaking of which, while Ryu was away, Lena-chan was diligently practicing magic all by herself, you know?”

“I did my best!! Please check out the results of my practice later!!”

“Of course. I’ll stay by your side for as many days as it takes.”

“Yay!!!”

Then, from the front, a certain female knight came, her silver hair flowing behind her.

“Oh, Lord Ryu! And Lady Iris and Lady Lena are also here…!”

“Oh, a stingray. It’s been a while.”

“You are indeed the daughter of Captain Silver, aren’t you? You’ve grown up quite splendidly, haven’t you?”

“The captain’s daughter? Hmph, hmm…”

You seem to get along well with your older brother!

Lena put Stingray on the watchlist.

That stingray suddenly,

“Oh! The fact that Iris-sama is feeling better means that the ‘elixir worked,’ right!? Congratulations, Iris-sama!!!”

Ryu and Sebas gaped in astonishment.

“Ah”

“An, an elixir… you say…?”

My mother turned her neck towards Ryu with a creaking sound, like a robot.

And then, as a habit, he crushed the metal cane he always carried with a loud crack.

I forgot to mention, but Iris Arden is a formidable fighter who can silence even the most crying child.

“Starbreaker.”

This is the nickname given to her when she was younger.

With a smile that seemed to be pasted on, he grabbed Ryu by the collar.

“Let’s talk a bit in that room over there, ‘Ryu-kun’.”

“Mom, it’s not what you think. This is all the Baron of Mantesa scheme…”

“Wow, I’m going to study magic!”

“Ah, I also have some unfinished work to do…”

The two hurriedly left the place.

The stingray saw the scene,

“Uh-oh, did I do something?”

The delightful days of the Arden family have once again begun.
