405 – Afterword: The Time of Stormy Fury
ㅡOnly those trapped in the shadows are worthy of seeking the light.
-This is my life and my food.
-I exist only as myself. However, the more you indulge in blood fruits, the further you become from being human…….
“Ahh! Argh! Ahhhhh!”
Renee jumped up and covered her ears. The blanket wrapped around the body. Renee had suddenly turned into a caterpillar wrapped in a blanket.
The bed was shaking constantly. It was evidence that a large vibration was occurring inside.
“How do you feel, Renee?”
Victoria, the person who made Rene do that, calmly touched the screen of her smartphone. The recording file that was playing stopped, and Renee’s voice that filled her room disappeared.
“Do you feel like participating now?”
“… ….”
There was no reply. Even if I waited a little longer, it was the same. Victoria tilted her head. Silver hair, just like her mother’s, flowed on the back of her head.
“I will take it as a sign of rejection. So, can I keep playing it?”
“Do whatever you want!”
A screaming sound was heard from inside the blanket. I can’t help it. Victoria pressed the play button on the next file.
-I am fire. I mean, she can’t just sit still, right?
-You too will be destined to become the wind and disappear someday. You and I are essentially the same……
“Yaaa! Stop! Stop!”
This time, the effect appeared immediately. Renee huffed and kicked off her blanket and stood up. Her cheeks and even her ears were bright red. Her hair was exactly the same color as her own.
Her curled hair at the back of her neck and the red side hair that fell near her collarbone swayed. There were even tears in her jet-black eyes that resembled her father, not her mother.
“Hey! Why are you doing this to me? Uh?! Why are you doing this to me? “What on earth do you want?”
“I told you, right? All you have to do is come. “We are all waiting for you.”
“I said I wouldn’t do it! “I’m just going to be a good daughter to my dad!”
“You used to sing that you would marry my dad, but now you’re saying that, Renee? She is a chance to be a foxy wife, not a good daughter. Or a rabbit-like wife would be a good analogy.”
“That was in the past! Not now!”
“Isn’t it still the same that I couldn’t find a husband anyway?”
“Ugh… ….”
Rene hesitated. Renee was also one of the advance party that went down to Earth to find her boyfriend, or possibly her husband. She, of course, failed miserably, like everyone else.
One thing that is fortunate is that, unlike some of her sisters who participated in her advance team, Renee did not develop the deeper thought that ‘the only husband I can find is my father.’
Because that was my only thought from the beginning anyway. Victoria knows this, so she continues to encourage Renee, who she dislikes, by even bringing up her dark history.
“Oh, it will come out someday!”
“If you join the plan, it can be possible right now, rather than waiting for some day when you can’t even be sure.”
“After everything has failed so far?”
“That’s… ….”
This time Victoria hesitated. As Renee said, if her plan had been successful, she would have been her father’s wife long ago instead of still trying.
As that happened, Victoria also ran out of things to say.
She
She said, “Okay. If it is your will, there is nothing you can do. “I’ll play the next one too.”
“aaah!”
When she picked up her smart phone to change the topic of conversation, Renee covered her ears as she screamed. She still seemed unwilling to participate in the plan. It looks like words won’t work. She put her hand to the third recording.
“… ….”
From Noble mtl dot com
But that hand couldn’t press the play button.
Before she knew it, Renee’s hand holding her smartphone was playing a video one step faster than Victoria’s. Victoria, who watched her video, had no choice but to stand still in her place.
“What…… What… ….”
What appeared on the screen was Victoria, but she was something completely different from the neat and tidy Victoria she wears now.
Her uninjured right eye is covered by a black eyepatch with a strange pattern on it, she has a harmless cigarette in her mouth, she wears a black uniform with all kinds of geometric patterns and letters, and her uninjured left hand With a bandage wrapped around it.
Because it was a video of Victoria leaning against the wall and looking up at the sky, pretending to look like she was there with her eyes filled with melancholy, with an expression of life in the world.
-What are you doing here, Victoria?
In the video, the voice of Victoria’s mother, i.E. Iris, was heard. It was as if she was barely holding back her laughter. A whining sound was also heard here and there.
Victoria slowly turned her head, held her cigarette and exhaled her smoke with as much pretense as possible, playing with her bandaged left hand and her eyepatch-obscured right eye. Yes, she answered.
– Efforts are being made to prevent the monster’s seal from being released. If my mind is distracted, the seal on ‘this guy’ will be broken. Then the world will suffer great harm.
ㅡPhew…… Wow…… That…… Right…… Turn it off… ….
“Wow!!!!!!”
As her own dark history was played out and Iris, who was counted among the three mothers to express her emotions, covered her mouth and let out a laugh, Victoria was burned by her fire. It seemed like he jumped up.
Her entire face turned bright red, like Renee’s hair.
“Heh, heh heh…” … Do you know that there is nothing similar to me? When we were kids, you and I used to play like this…….”
Renee stopped the video and let out an evil laugh. Her finger touched the next video play button.
“Are you ready to die together, Victoria?”
“What about Victoria and Renee? “Why don’t they come here?”
“I have heard from her Luce that she has been deeply hurt and has asked me to tell you that she has no choice but to attend today’s meeting.”
“Looks like we got into trouble again about old things. Anyway, why do something that will be embarrassing later? Okay. “Let’s proceed without them.”
“You can do as much as you want.”
Viola met Laurelia’s eyes. Jet black eyes were curved like waves. Whenever I see her, she is confident and has a relaxed smile. It was a laugh that I strangely did not like.
“Why do you look at me like that?”
“It’s nothing. “It just reminds me of the cute Lorelia from back in the day.”
“Oh, would you like to be her older sister? “You know that in our first line, the age difference between the eldest and youngest is less than three days, right?”
“Three days is enough time for many things to change. For us, that is.”
“… ….”
That was correct.
I don’t know if it’s because they received the goddess’ blessing, but everyone grew up incredibly fast. Just one year was enough for her to grow from the time she was born into a voluptuous body filled with soft flesh.
I hated to admit it, but as Viola said, three days was too long to show any significant differences.
It’s only limited to when I was young.
‘That’s right. ‘That’s why I didn’t like it.’
According to my father’s standards, the three-day age difference is practically the same as being friends, but I didn’t like the attitude of them secretly showing off that they were older sisters while maintaining a friendship on the surface.
Laurelia clicked her tongue as she became aware of that fact again.
“Wait a minute. Then why isn’t Luce coming? There’s no way you and Luce are separated. Could it be that she just passed on those words?”
“I am holding on to Regina and Selena. “It would be difficult if those two even came here.”
“Ah, somehow.”
Regina was the type of person who had no secrets except for her father.
No matter how strongly she was promised to watch her mouth because it was a secret, her father would pat her on the head and ask her what she had been doing, and she would immediately smile brightly and tell her everything, which often ruined her plans.
Thanks to this, Laurelia shuddered as she recalled the memory of her having to blow her chance to become a genius. Her long black hair, just like her mother, was flowing wild.
“No, Regina.”
“Yes. “Regina doesn’t work.”
In a rare moment, Laurelia and Viola agreed. That’s how much her Regina’s notoriety was.
Selena was a little less, but she seemed to be melting into her father, the difference being more and less.
“Let’s share the results first. “How was it for you?”
“Unfortunately, they all failed. Because my father knew everything, I couldn’t even attempt a hand-to-hand attack. “How have you been?”
“So do we. At first, I thought he was going to lose, but when I asked him to make a bet where he would accept anything, he showed off his true skills. “No, it’s my first time playing a game. Does it make sense to get a perfect combo?”
“Isn’t he our father? “Of course it should be so.”
“Well, that’s true. “I didn’t even expect to win in the first place.”
Although both of them were complaining with their mouths, a part of their hearts thought that this would definitely be the result. Because it’s been like that for a long time. It will continue to be like that in the future.
The fact that Delta was the only man she grew up looking at was what made the sisters’ eyes on men sky high, but even though everyone knew it, they didn’t care.
I had never thought that raising my eyes was wrong, so it was natural.
“Should we change our strategy?”
“What do you mean?”
“…… That too. “You’ve tried almost everything.”
“I also tried something that wasn’t commonplace.”
Laurelia chuckled.
“Like when you and Luce got scolded for trying to make me drink valley wine while wearing slingshot bikinis?”
“But Laurelia, didn’t you try it with Eileen?”
“… ….”
“… ….”
Aurelia and Viola raised their eyebrows after exchanging blows with each other.
Both of their mouths were smiling, but their eyes were not smiling.
