Sechs-san's story about his acquaintance with Rasal-san, Isis-san's new subordinate, seemed to interest not only Isis-san, but also Iris-san and the others, so Iris-san prepared a seat for him on which Sechs-san sat down and began to tell his story.
[...Rasal Malfik. She is a necromancer known as the Martyr of Death, as far as I know, she is without a doubt the greatest necromancer in the Demon Realm. However, she is a bit eccentric and has no interest in anything other than her research. She is the kind of person who hides herself in a cave in the deepest part of the Black Forest and does nothing but research. She was so immersed in her research that she might go outside of her cave only once every few thousand years or so.]
[O- Once every few thousand years?]
I ask back in surprise at Sechs-san's words. In short, she's someone who would hole up in a cave for thousands of years doing nothing but research? No, with the way he says she's going out only once every few thousand years... I suppose it means she has been doing research alone in that cave for tens of thousands of years in total.
That's rather... outrageous.
[As I also hold interest in necromancy, that is how we came to know each other. However, she probably doesn't even remember my name. She's really indifferent to anything other than her research... but just recently, when we met, she asked me a question, which was rather unusual... No, this was the first time Rasal had asked me a question. Moreover, it's about the Death King... Isis-sama.]
[...About me?]
[Yes, I had been thinking how strange it was... but thinking about it now, she probably reached completion with the research she had been doing for years and was thinking about what to do with herself afterward. Perhaps, by the time she asked me that question, she had already decided to become Isis-sama's subordinate.]
[...Is that so... so... as soon as her research was finished... she rushed to see me... Fufu... I'm glad.]
Sechs-san said that he was asked about Isis-san when they met just recently, so I guess Rasal-san really went to Isis-san to become her subordinate as soon as she completed her research.
But from what I've heard though, it doesn't sound like she had any point of contact with Isis-san until then...?
[It's just, it's really hard for me to imagine her working for someone else. What do you think of Rasal-dono, Isis-sama?]
[...Rasal is... very smart... She worries about me... and is a very kind girl... who gives me a lot of advice.]
[Hohh, now isn't that something, she's surprisingly caring huh? However, indeed, she's a shrewd and prudent person, so I expect her to do a great job as Isis-sama's subordinate in the future.]
[...Unnn... Rasal... is very dependable.]
Hmmm, from the way Isis-san talks, she seems like a really nice person. Perhaps, Isis-san probably met her somewhere and just doesn't remember her, or maybe she originally just admired Isis-san.
I wanted to hear about other people's opinions though, so I decided to ask Iris-san about it while listening to Sechs-san and Isis-san talk.
[From your point of view, Iris-san, how do you feel about Rasal-san?]
[Just as Isis-sama said, she's pretty sharp. She is provocative and often fights with Sirius, but there is nothing else that seems to be a problem. In fact, as Isis-sama had mentioned earlier, she was also taking actions such as rebuking Isis-sama in some cases, and seemed to be concerned about Isis-sama's face.]
[I see, then as Isis-san said, she seems to be a good person.]
For a moment, I suspected that she would have another purpose for her to suddenly become Isis-san's subordinate without having any prior connection with her, but from what I heard, she seems to be a truly caring and kind person.
[It was a little surprising to me, but compared to the time when I was meeting her, she may have more mental leeway now that her research has been completed. Well, at any rate, it's great that you seem to be building a good relationship with her.]
[...Unnn... It was unfortunate that I couldn't bring her this time... but I'll introduce her... to you next time, Kaito.]
[Yes, I'm looking forward to it.]
When the conversation about Rasal-san came to a close, Sechs-san stood up from her seat and bowed to Isis-san.
[Well then, I apologize for the length of my stay. I will be excusing myself here.]
[...No... Don't worry about it... If you like... you can come and meet Rasal again... I think... she'd probably be happy to see you.]
[I suppose so, if there's another opportunity, I would come visit.]
Isis-san kindly smiled at Sechs-san, who bowed in a beautiful manner and left.
As I have learned a lot about Isis-san's new subordinate... Rasal-san and got curious about her, I'd like to meet her at the earliest opportunity possible.
