318 – Side Story: Another World – 1
“You returned earlier than usual, Captain.”
Now, when I entered the office of the leader of the Knights of the Dark Night, Laksia said so.
I calculated the time I was out for a while. About 15 hours to visit Aurora, about 18 hours to stun Nyx, who kept getting entangled with changing personalities, and finally, 1 hour to nag Eclipse.
“You seem to be back as usual?”
At first glance, it sounded like irony, so if someone else had said it, I could have thought it was sarcastic.
But it was Laksia who said that. Due to Laxia’s personality, if he had spoken directly, he would have said it, but not sarcastically.
As if proving my thoughts, Laxia shook her head.
“No. This return time was about 1 day and 9 hours earlier than average. I checked it against my memory, and I’m sure.”
“…… Did you remember all of that?”
“Assisting the knight commander is one of the duties of the deputy knight commander. Seriously, I didn’t expect it to be this hard to see the leader’s face. On top of that, hasn’t one more thing recently been added that we need to pay special attention to?”
I know. I peered down through the window.
I saw people who were seated in one corner of the castle, each praying towards the spot where my room was located. And not just one or two, but hundreds of them.
All of them were pilgrims.
“I heard all the news. What the hell are you doing in the holy kingdom?”
“… ….”
I don’t know since when, but this castle where I live has been called a kind of sanctuary.
At first, one or two people came and prayed personally and ended up in a circle.
Surprisingly, despite the fact that hundreds of people came and prayed all day, there were no complaints from the people living here. No, it couldn’t come out.
Because the Seongguk side released a huge amount of money and let everyone, without exception, settle down in another territory.
In other words, the only people residing in this territory are the Knights of the Dark Night and Caicilia. It was truly a phenomenal level of action.
“We are also being treated like the Knights of the Holy Night of Raphaella, not the Knights of the Dark Night of the Aethernum Empire. I didn’t know that the position of the knights, with the living saint as the leader of the knights, would be so burdensome.”
Because of that, the Knights of the Dark Night suddenly became a holy order that protects the sanctuary of the living saint. As if expressing Laxia’s emotions instead, her rabbit ears drooped down.
The conquest of the Knights of the Dark Night was still a bunny girl, but there was a big difference from before. In the middle, it was said that it was an ‘improved type’, and the bunny girl’s fabric was changed to transparent tights.
Right now, only a few people are wearing it as a test, but it’s so well received that it seems that sooner or later, the outfits of all members of the Dark Night Knights will be replaced with transparent tights.
‘A conquest to improve activity?’
First of all, what should I do with that bastard’s high heels?
Even wearing high heels that seemed to have a heel of 7~8cm, they ran around well, trained, and showed off all kinds of swordsmanship, and it was a miracle that there were no ankle injuries.
“By the way, why did you come here, Captain?”
Laxia pricked her rabbit ears again and asked. A suitably sized breast that barely covered the nipple with a sticker came up on the desk.
“I’m going to go somewhere with Caicilia. I stopped by to tell you that you can reduce the number of guards stationed on the side of the mansion for the time being.”
“The Emperor’s Lung…… No, are you talking to him? All right.”
Laxia, who was about to say “Your Majesty” Reflexively, quickly changed her words and smiled bitterly.
“…… I still can’t get used to it.”
He told me to just treat him normally, but the atmosphere on the outside was the same as when he was an emperor, so from the point of view of the knights, it seemed impossible.
‘I refused to be called the first emperor, saying I didn’t like it, and calling it Caicilia as I wanted would cause the knights to break down.’
It was a really ambiguous position.
“There’s nothing to do with Caicilia anyway, right?”
“Yes. She seems to be spending all her time these days.”
After stepping down from her position as emperor, Kai Killia led a leisurely, unemployed swan life, taking care of her maids in her mansion where her aura lived.
If this place had functioned as a territory, she would have taken over the duties of a lord, but as it became a place that was practically a sanctuary, naturally, all things to do disappeared.
“Judging from the fact that you are speaking separately, it seems that you are going to be away for a little longer this time.”
“Perhaps? I will come back in the interim, but I think it might not come back for a while.”
“May I ask where you are going?”
Rabbit ears stood up.
“My hometown.”
“You gave me the position of emperor for this, aunt?!”
Aurora, who grabbed her Kai Kilia, struggled on her feet. Cai Killia couldn’t easily get rid of Aura, so she was at a loss.
There was a cute side to the two women clinging to each other and behaving like children, except for the slightly different eyes and moods.
Minerva was watching it too, her smile all over her face.
“You went to Delta World without me! Where is the law like that!”
The reason Aurora was so angry was simple. She was all going to visit the world I lived in, but Aurora couldn’t stay away as she was dealing with her duties as her emperor.
If it were Laura’s aura from the days when she didn’t know anything, she would have left her future work to her future self, but now she can’t because she’s anticipating how big the aftermath will be.
She said that the longer she was away from the Holy Land, the deeper the relationship between the saint and the pope grew.
“…… I didn’t expect something like this to happen either, Aurora.”
“Lies! Auntie didn’t think of this situation? That aunt?”
At least this time, Caicilia couldn’t even refute anything, as if she was very sorry. She was quite different from her usual Cae Cilia, who seemed to not bleed out even if she was pricked with a needle.
Minerva, who was watching with her face full of laughter at Cai Cilia who was flustered by her and Aurora who pushed Cai Cilia closely, brought her lips to my ear.
“Isn’t it time to tell you, kid?”
“Isn’t it rare for Caicilia to make such a face? Leave her alone a little longer.”
“Good idea.”
Of course, I had no intention of going over to my world except for Aurora. After going through all sorts of biological experiments, Minerva’s alter ego magic, which had finally been improved, was supposed to replace Aurora’s work.
Ceres took almost all of the stake in the biological experiment. In the end, after countless experiments, Ceres, whose legs became loose and could not stand properly, was sent home with teleportation magic.
“But, child. For what reason did you suddenly propose to travel around your world?”
“What…… There was something like that. It’s all thanks to Goddess. As Minerva-sama said, it was a sudden decision.”
Eclipse was one of the things I suggested to get out of my nagging. Coincidentally, I was slowly running out of things to say, so I quickly accepted it because I thought it went well.
Of course, we decided to give the real ‘bee’ later.
“Okay, let’s do both.”
I interrupted and put the two of them away just as Minerva couldn’t contain her laughter and began to chug. Caicilia’s jet-black hair, which was always neat, was slightly tousled.
Laura, who was half crying, clung to me and hugged her tightly around the waist.
“Delta! Are you really going to leave me alone? Isn’t it?”
“Of course not.”
“…… Huh?”
When I answered no so coolly, my younger sister Laura, who had been rubbing her face against my chest, raised her head in bewilderment. Her golden pupils looking up at me were filled with her doubts.

She nodded at Minerva. Immediately, an alter ego that looked just like Aura Laura appeared in the air. When something resembling herself appeared out of nowhere, Aura, taken aback, untied her hand.
“Dah, Delta. What is this?”
“Aurora, your alter ego. Made by Minerva.”
The more I explained about the alter ego, the more subtle the faces of Aurora and Caicilia became. Minerva watched it and covered her mouth, barely holding back her laughter.
After the explanation ended, both Aurora and Caicilia made puzzled faces at the same time.
“Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”
“Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”
I also said with a chuckle at the appearance that no matter how you look at it, they can only be seen as twin sisters.
“Because the two of you bickering is so cute? I keep wanting to see you.”
“Ears, how cute! Heh, do you think I will pass on that?”
“Aurora is right. I’ll move on to such a shallow trick…… Same…….”
Kai Kilia, who met my gaze, stopped speaking her words and shook her body. A soft moan came through her fingers as she closed her mouth.
After a while, the delicate scent of peaches began to waft.
Laura, who noticed the identity of the peach scent, hugged me again with her tired eyes. Minerva also quietly erased her smile. I was the same.
‘Did I treat you too harshly then?’
He was in a state where he reached his peak just by calling his name, and he shuffled his body for close to 13 hours.
Anyway, isn’t it a bit too much to walk away just because you met eyes after being praised?
In an atmosphere that instantly became quiet due to the spreading scent of peaches, Aurora’s alter ego started operating. Her alter ego, bowing her head towards the four of us, disappeared out of her door.
“…… We will go too.”
The three followed my words without saying anything. As Cai Killia approaches, Aurora slips away and untangles her arm. Aurora’s vacancy was filled by Cai Killia. Her slender arms wrapped tightly around my back.
“…… More hugs.”
I went into the teleportation portal Minerva had opened, holding my body as it flinched incessantly, with my face buried in my chest.
It seemed that the departure would be delayed a little bit.
