“This is the royal capital, there are not only countries in this world we are standing in… First of all, it is the largest city I know of.”
Yura, I have come down to the royal road to introduce my sister, who now uses the name Yuriel, to this world she is coming to for the first time.
“Um, it’s really the same environment I’ve only seen in the game, it’s the first time I’ve seen a scene like this in real life!”
Unlike me, who has become accustomed to this street after a while, Yura admires the unfamiliar and mysterious background.
Like a child in an amusement park, he opened his eyes wide and opened his mouth wide. He was a younger brother who was sure to express his emotions, so it was fun to introduce him to this part.
“I was also curious at first, but I was confused because I didn’t know what to do… Still, looking back at it with such a light mind, it’s a beautiful street.”
Until before, her tail had gone down as if she was offended, but now that it seems to have gotten better, all nine tails are waving irregularly, telling her how excited she is.
“It’s a strange street, in our real life, we’re casually walking down the street in unusual clothes that normal people would never wear!”
“That’s probably why it’s a common outfit here.”
The more we talk, the more she feels that she has come to a different world, a proof that she is adjusting well.
“Once we decide where we’ll be staying today, just in case you don’t know, I have the old money I had before.”
Before coming here, I was given clothes and financial support from the Goddess as a temporary measure. It was because the basic living expenses were insufficient because the existing equipment was left behind.
“Um… I don’t know what the inn is… The design itself is similar… It’s hard to tell the difference…”
“In that case, it would be easier to see the signboard in front of the door. If it is an inn or a restaurant, there is a sign for it, such as a bed or steaming food… If both rooms and meals are possible, they will both be drawn.”
For example, pointing to a store and giving an example, the signboard of the store that I pointed to had both pictures of food and a bed.
“That’s where I stayed when I was living here. The accommodation is affordable and the quality of food and facilities is good.”
At those words, I looked at the inn I was staying at, and slowly nodded as if I understood to some extent.
“Oh…. Then I’ll have to take care of you there today too?”
The moment I moved to the inn I always used, as if my goal had already been set, anticipating my next move…
“Harold…? It’s been a while!”
A man’s voice that he may have missed for a long time is heard.
“Mr. Paulo?”
When I look back, the person I see in my eyes is the image of a man with a handsome beard, a neighborhood hyung with a muscular body but a friendly smile rather than a sense of incongruity.
“This one, it’s been awhile since I’ve seen it, and it looks healthier!”
Paulo was standing there.
“Didn’t you see us these days?! I’m sorry for disappearing without a word, because I was sent to another country for a few months for personal reasons!”
So I haven’t been able to see you lately… If that’s the case, does Paulo not know that I’m gone?
“How have you been? It’s been a while since I’ve been here, so this street has always been peaceful!”
If you listen to what they are actually saying, the question that naturally comes to you… It seemed to be certain.
“Ah… yes… well, it seemed like I didn’t see you for a while, but there must be a reason for that.”
He responds to his words and continues the conversation naturally.
“Yes! It was my personal intention, but it was also Abne-sama’s will, so it was inevitable that I would be away. “
That girl is probably referring to Erina…
“Huh? By the way, Harold, who is the fox girl next to you? Is it a relationship I built up without seeing you?”
While I was stroking my beard with a bashful smile as usual, I widened my eyes to see if I recognized Yura next to me and questioned her relationship with her.
“Ah…! I…!”
Yura is one step ahead and politely introduces herself before I even speak.
“My name is Yuriel, Harold’s brother!”
I introduce myself as Yuriel, a pseudonym who is acting naturally and is using herself.
“Now… Wait… What?!”
Then he felt confused, and he seemed to be very surprised, though he tried to maintain a somewhat light mood, a feeling of embarrassment not easily seen in Mr. Paulo, who was pleasant and positive.
“Herald! You weren’t a human?! Why is it that a beautician woman is your brother and sister…?”
A gigantic gesture about to jump makes it feel even more menacing, just as an excited elephant, no matter how docile, is a threat…
It was such an absurd look that it really made my eyes roll.
“Calm down! I’ll explain, Yuriel was originally a human… But that’s just what happened due to an unspeakable accident! He was born right now…”
I calm him down and cycle as much as possible to make him understand that Yuriel, who takes the form of a fox, is my real sister.
“Ah…! Is that so?!”
Only then did he show a slight regret for understanding the situation to some extent.
“They look a little different, but… they’re the real brothers, they have the same blood.”
Kwak ㅡ
Then Yura suddenly grabbed my arm and grabbed it…
“brother…”
Maybe I just said something embarrassing… He looks at me with a slightly vague look.
“The expression that… the real brother… really…?”
To say that blood and flesh is flesh and blood, how to express it… I didn’t know what Yura was trying to say.
Is there something that catches on something called the same blood line?
“It’s really unique… The race changes… First of all, I’ve never heard of it…”
Anyway, back to the point… Mr. Paulo seems to be seriously thinking about the problems we are facing right now.
“Hmm…”
After understanding the situation to some extent, he stroked his beard and began to ponder.
“As expected, I don’t know…. Then how about visiting our goddess? You are the wisest person in this royal capital, so you might know something.”
In the end, he proposes to have an interview with the goddess he serves because of the fact that he does not know from his own line.
Reuniting with Abne after a long time… At one time, I came to visit quite often due to a case about Erina and other incidents… A place I couldn’t find well because I was caught up in various things at some point… again after a long time It wasn’t a bad choice to go to get some clues to illuminate my face.
Also, she was the wisest goddess to the point where it is said that she understands all things, so she might not know anything.
“Then we will do that.”
Following Paulo’s advice, our destination changed.
A place not far away, the Temple of Abne. The goddess with the most followers in the country
“Yeah, it’s been a long time coming, but there’s still work to be done, so I think we’ll have to part ways here. Hope to hear from you!”
After pounding so hard that my back hurts, he says he has a way to go and takes a step with a clear purpose.
“Next time we see each other, let’s drink something cool together!”
He waved his hand and felt a little complicated by the look of his back.
◆◆◆
Druck…
The temple of Abne, which I have been visiting for a long time, has always impressed me with the vast and dreamy ceiling as if looking at the starry night sky.
“Harold…?”
The appearance of Abne that I haven’t seen in a long time… When I also show up after a long time, she greets me with a surprised expression.
“Oh my God… is it really you?! Erina said that she had suddenly disappeared!!”
Goddess Abne, who welcomed me with such emotion that even tears were falling… I must have heard the news from Erina often.
“How the hell did you come back?! I’m sure you said it disappeared the same day you regained your memory…!”
“To explain, it’s going to be long, so I’ll explain it slowly next time… For now, there’s an urgent matter…”
I postpone the explanations that have been given so far and push Yura forward.
“Wait a minute… Brother…”
However, Yura is a little troubled by holding my hand, probably because Goddess Abne was a little uncomfortable.
Perhaps it was the first time I had to experience the unique atmosphere of the existence of a god, so I was wary… When I first encountered God in reality, not in a game, I felt a little burdened.
“It’s ok… it’ll be fine.”
I caress the back of Yura’s hand, which is holding my hand, and soothes her heart.
“It’s urgent… Now, is there anything more urgent than this? Are you back?”
She shows Yura to her, who is a little puzzled, and explains what happened.
“This nine-tailed fox is none other than my real sister, Yuriel.”
“Ugh…”
Then, Yura groaned again at the word “pro-sister”… Why the hell is she doing this…
“Your sister…?”
When he introduces him as blood and blood, he looks at Yura deeply for a moment, like Mr. Paulo, with an unbelievable look.
“Yes… Siblings of the world I was in… However, I came to this world due to an accident, and the race has changed like this… Do you know anything about anything?”
“Hmm…”
At my words, she opened her eyes and looked at Yura attentively. In the eyes of the goddess, something seemed to be different.
“Once you want to, I’ll give you an answer to this question…but one day I’ll have to explain why and how you disappeared.”
Abne wanted to know what I was going through in exchange for an answer to this question, whether he knew something.
“Yes… of course.”
“Okay… Then, would it be ok to take a closer look at that girl named Yuriel? Just to be sure.”
Upon accepting the offer, he beckons to Yura, wanting to keep an eye on Yura.
“Can you come over to me for a moment?”
“……”
Yura, who is deeply troubled by those words, sees my face for a moment, then squeezes the courage to go to Abne’s bed.
◆◆◆
“Uh… Goddess…? Did you call me?”
The younger brother, who reluctantly let go of his brother’s hand, approaches Abne and speaks carefully.
“Did you say Yuriel?”
A serious atmosphere with a different solemnity from before…. Abne’s attitude makes Yura also swallow dry saliva.
“you…”
Abne looks at Yura with her eyes squinted as if squinting. Is she making an expression as if she is making such an impression on what she sees in her eyes…
“……”
Harold’s younger brother is just silent despite Abne’s words.
“I want you to be honest with me…”
Abne, who had all the insight about Ine Yura, closed her eyes and calmed herself for a moment…
“Actually, you didn’t share blood with your brother, did you?”
“…?!”
Soon, she uncovers a secret that anyone but herself and her parents should never know.
