The Wish of the Dragon

Chapter 167: Side

"Th-That Goddess seems to be looking this way!" The brown-haired boy said nervously when they saw Bai'er looking their way.

"I wonder if she falls for my charm..." The black-haired boy said narcissistically.

"Charm your head! As if such beautiful Goddess will fall for a country bumpkin like you! Not to mention you're just a little brat!"

"What did you say!?"

While they're bickering around with each other, the orange-haired boy feels extreme trepidation instead.

'Is she the Sage Emperor servant perhaps? And he sent her here to find me?!' The orange-haired boy thought horrifiedly.

'No no no, I was given a chance to be reborn in the past, I can't just let it end like this!' While he's still thinking to himself, Bai'er finally averted her gaze losing interest.

The boy, or should she say, the old man within that boy's body only piques her interest slightly. No more no less... She won't go on her way to investigate it.

This world also doesn't belong to her big brother, the more reason why she shouldn't care for it.

The orange-haired boy froze before he sighed in relief. He ushered his friend to walk away since he doesn't feel comfortable staying near Bai'er's presence.

Bai'er spends around 15 minutes walking around the city before she's being confronted by a group of men.

She frowned at these newcomers.

"We heard you're the one who's responsible for hurting our young master... We need you to come with us." The foremost person in their group said condescendingly.

Hurt that ugly bad guy from before? But she didn't do anything of the sort... She only made them fell asleep?

If Bai'er wanted to hurt that conceited young master then they won't even know what happened to him in the first place... Not even the person in the surroundings would notice anything.

He signalled his lackeys to surround Bai'er.

They all leered at Bai'er's beauty and some are even thinking of taking advantage when they have the chance.

"We are from the <Sacred Family>, I advice you to not do anything rash and come with us quietly." He thought that by telling the target their backing then Bai'er would be afraid but he's sorely mistaken...

Even if they said that they're the Gods of this world, Bai'er still won't care.

The surrounding onlookers hastily left the scene since they don't want to be involved with the whole farce.

The group of assailants started to close their distance slowly...

Bai'er's frown deepened sensing their movement. So many annoying people here... She's thought irritatedly to herself.

Well, she guesses she won't be able to inspect this place being bothered like this...

Bai'er decided to just leave this city for now and see if she can find something interesting later on... Wait... What's considered interesting again? She never really care where she goes as long as she stays near her sisters and big brother.

And Hong'er and Nyaruko is the one who usually decides where they go.

While Bai'er is still thinking to herself, one of the men finally jumped on her feeling impatient: "I got you now!" He shouted excitedly.

But when his hand about to touch Bai'er's body, she disappeared from their field of view...

"Wh-Where did she go?!" Their leader said confusedly.

They started to look around their surroundings and even used their innate energy to locate Bai'er location but to no avail...

"Find her! If she escapes then our head might roll!" The leader commanded direly.

"...No need to wait... Your heads will roll now..."

"...Eh?"

The leader heard a cold and emotionless voice behind him and the next thing he knows, he saw his own headless body before his whole vision goes dark...

When the leader loses his life, the same thing happened to his lackeys. All of their head rolled on the ground before they vanish into dust along with their body leaving nothing but an eerie silence...

Nobody will know what just transpired here except for a certain orange-haired boy.

The orange-haired boy was thinking to stay away from Bai'er but he suddenly feels curious and also worried about her.

What he worries about is not Bai'er safety but rather her intention of coming to his city. He told his friends to go on ahead before he went after Bai'er.

He decided to follow her around a bit to see what her intentions are but what he saw in the next few moments totally leave his body went cold.

When Bai'er was surrounded by the people from <Sacred Family>, he immediately knows that those groups of ants won't be able to do anything to Bai'er.

If even he who has accumulated a vast knowledge and experience from his previous life can't tell her true strength then what hope these group of weaklings have?

He thought Bai'er would end them in an instant just like she did with Shen Fei's group but looks like he was mistaken.

When Bai'er disappeared, he also couldn't pinpoint her location. And just when he's about to leave the scene quietly, he saw those group of men's heads started to separate from their neck down.

The boy couldn't help but let out a shocked gasp seeing the one who's seemingly responsible for their death.

There she was, standing amongst the dozen of men's bodies before they turned into dust with a cold expressionless face...

A thin and slender ample-breasted young woman with pale white skin, glowing red eyes, and very long black-and-white gradient hair, wearing what appeared to be a white coat patterned with two black lines coming down at the middle, short sleeves, and a flowy white dress that was attached to it.

She has very long hair which has a mostly black-and-white gradient, first going from black approximately near her shoulders to then go to a slightly blueish color below her waist, then a grey fade, and finally, white. One of her recognizable traits was the large, long white demon horns on her head. She also wore black high heel shoes and was surrounded by black flames.

'A Demon!' The orange-haired boy thought shockingly when he saw her. She's not using a demon spirit as they do but she actually looks like that!

When he was still assessing the whole situation, his eyes met with the woman.

'Oh no! I have been discovered!' The orange-haired boy thought horrifiedly.

In the next moment, the boy's body froze on the spot because the woman suddenly appeared in front of him. She's staring down at him with a bone-chilling gaze.

"..."

"..."

The woman narrowed her eyes and her killing intent is starting to suffocate the boy...

Just when he thought he was going to lose his life, the woman suddenly reeled back her killing intent.

Her face went back to its expressionless state: "...A reincarnator... But not a threat... Rei will report this to Master..." She mumbled before she disappears once again.

Once she disappeared, the boy gasped furiously and his entire body is soaked with his own sweat.

His body started to shook uncontrollably.

Wh-What is she!? Not even when he's faced with the Sage Emperor that he feel such trepidation!

And she knows! She knows that he is basically a reincarnator!

It took the boy half a day to get his bearings back. He then hurriedly returns to his friends' side...

...

Night arrived... Bai'er is seated on top of a tree while looking at the moonlight.

She started thinking of what her next course of action should be.

The abyssal human named Rei has already hidden herself once again without Bai'er knowing anything about it.

During her planning, Bai'er went into a daze thinking that it has been a while ever since she's been alone like this. In fact, this is the first time for her to be alone after her big brother saved her from that lonely place.

As if sensing her feelings, the flowers and trees in her surroundings started to bloom on their own creating an otherworldly view... Sadly, no one else could witness it...

The black spirit she carried with her also comes out of the gem and tried to comfort its new master.

"Are you trying to cheer me up? Thank you, little black." Bai'er smiled at the black spirit.

The black spirit started to fly around Bai'er feeling happy that it manages to lift Bai'er's mood even by a little bit.

"Nn?" When Bai'er is enjoying the view that the flowers and trees created for her, she notices someone coming her way.

The flowers and trees ceased their movement at almost the same time.

A slim young girl with long brownish-orange hair wearing a leather jacket, and was exuding a faint blue light comes to Bai'er's view.

The girl looks around her surroundings before she started to cultivate her strength. She was exuding a faint blue light with her brows furrowed deeply.

Bai'er observed her cultivation without much interest. She notices that this girl cultivation is hurting her own body... The amount of <Yin> energy contained within her body is too much for someone like her to handle.

If left alone then she might become crippled or even worse...

A few minutes later, the girl's face started to show a pained expression but she still persists and continues to cultivate despite the pain she's feeling.

"...You're hurting yourself." Finally, Bai'er decided to speak up.

"Who!?" The girl suddenly opens her eyes, and frailly shouted, while retrieving a short dagger. She warily looked around to see who just spoke. But she couldn't pinpoint the source of the voice until she felt a presence coming from above.

When she looks up, she becomes dumbstruck...

How beautiful... She thought amazedly to herself.

"The way you're cultivating will only bring harm to yourself." Bai'er continues speaking.

"Wh-Who are you?!" The girl finally snapped out of her daze and asked warily.

"Before asking for someone's name, shouldn't you introduce yourself first?" Bai'er said softly. Her big brother always taught her that after all.

"Eh?" The girl let out a stupefied voice but couldn't see what's wrong with what Bai'er said so she introduces herself: "...My name is Xiao Ning'er. I'm from the <Winged Family>."

Bai'er nodded slightly before she also introduces herself: "My name is Bai'er Hyoudou. I'm from the <Hyoudou Family>." Seeing the other party also introduces her family, Bai'er decided to also introduce hers.

"...<Hyoudou Family>?" Which family is that? Is there even a family with that name in <Glory City>? The girl thought confusedly to herself.

"Wait... What did you mean by the way I'm cultivating I will only bring harm to myself?" She suddenly asked.

"There are bruises appearing on your body when you're cultivating just now... Like the one in your leg." Bai'er pointed at Xiao Ning'er's leg where a blue bruise can be seen.

Xiao Ning'er looked down and sees the bruise on her leg.

"At the current rate you're going, I sensed that your cultivation will either drop drastically or even die altogether," Bai'er said calmly.

After hearing Bai'er's words, Xiao Ning'er was momentarily dazed. Both of her fists were clenched tightly, and her eyes reddened. But she still didn't lose hope and asked: "How did you know for sure? Maybe my symptoms will be averted once I breakthrough to <1-star Bronze rank>!"

"I don't care whether you believe me or not... My big brother told me to only lend a hand to those who truly need it. Since you don't believe me then so be it." Bai'er was about to leave but Xiao Ning'er suddenly called out.

"Wait!"

"?" Bai'er tilted her head and waited for Xiao Ning'er to continues her words.

"Since... Since you appear to know about my condition then... You should know how to treat it, right?" asked Xiao Ning'er hopefully: "If you're capable of helping me then I will do anything to repay you! Even if you can't cure me, can you at least tell me what kind of disease that I have?" She added desperately.

"..." Bai'er went silent for a few moments before speaking: "I don't know what your illness is called."

Xiao Ning'er's heart plummeted to rock bottom when she heard Bai'er but her next words made her froze instead.

"But I can cure you."

"...Really?!" Xiao Ning'er exclaimed hopefully after she snapped out of stuppor.

"Mm." Bai'er simply nodded to her excitement.

"Th-Then please cure me!"

"...Alright." Bai'er thought for a moment before she flew down to Xiao Ning'er's front.

Xiao Ning'er took a step back when Bai'er arrived in her front.

She feels inferior just by standing in front of such a Goddess like Bai'er.

While she doesn't care what other people think of her, Xiao Ning'er knows that she's considered one of the top beauty among her peers. But... Now she knows that her beauty is basically negligible in front of such a peerless Goddess.

"Stand still." Bai'er voice resounded.

Bai'er lightly tapped Xiao Ning'er's body with her finger and in the next moment, a black wisp of light started to accumulate on top of Bai'er's finger.

"Little black." Bai'er called out.

The dark spirit appeared once again before it greedily swallows the black wisp of energy.

Xiao Ning'er becomes slackjawed after seeing little black appearing out of nowhere.

"It's done." Bai'er said towards Xiao Ning'er.

"Eh? Is that it?" Xiao Ning'er blinked in confusion.

"Mm. Your body shouldn't be in pain anymore when you're cultivating... You can try."

Albeit skeptical, Xiao Ning'er still tried cultivating... And much to her surprise, her body doesn't feel any pain anymore and the speed of her cultivation has also increased twofold! The bruises on her body also disappeared!

"I-It's real! I'm not in pain anymore! And I have reached the 1-star Bronze rank!" She exclaimed joyfully.

When Xiao Ning'er looked up to thank her savior, she saw that Bai'er has already disappeared.

Xiao Ning'er dumbfoundedly looked around trying to catch the glimpse of Bai'er silhouette.

"W-Wait, please wait! Please at least let me repay you! Miss Bai'er!" Xiao Ning'er shouted.

But even after shouting for a while, Bai'er is still nowhere to be seen.

Xiao Ning'er face become upset before she ultimately decided to return for now... But she will surely come back to this place and try to find Bai'er once again.

Actually, Bai'er didn't go that far. She just hid on top of the big tree where she was before.

"..." She looked at the departing back of Xiao Ning'er and slightly muttered: "...She's a good girl. Big brother will surely like her."

...

"Guh..." A group of distressed girls laid on the ground feeling helpless. All of them are bound in black chains.

"Fufu, you all pass."

"...What?"

Semiramis gives a faint smile at the group of girls before her.

Despite facing a God, they still didn't give up and still tried their best to overcome her.

"As I said, you all passed with flying colors." Semiramis clapped lightly to congratulate them.

"What are you talking about?" The girl with a military uniform groaned.

"The reason why you're all here was because you wanted to take back that boy you loved, right?"

"H-Huh?! I-I don't love Fuyuzora Kogarashi!" One of them with a ninja outfit said with furious blush adorning her face.

"Now now, you don't need to be so dishonest about your feelings. I can see it as plain as a day that you love him." Semiramis smirked.

"Th-Th-That's not true!"

"Give it up, Sagiri-chan. Everyone knows that you love Kogarashi-kun." Another girl with the same similar ninja outfit pointed out.

"Wh-wh-what are you saying!"

"Nevermind all that! Give Kogarashi-dono back to us!" A girl of the Tengu race said.

"Ohii-san, try not to rile her up too much... She's hella strong and I don't think getting on her bad side is something we want." A girl with a tomboyish attitude and tanned skin said with a sweat.

"Now now, no need to be so hasty." Semiramis chuckled.

"...What are your real purpose for taking Kogarashi and having us all here?" The woman in military outfit inquired cautiously: "With your strength, you could've killed us all at any given time. What you did so far could barely count as an attack. There's no real killing intent behind it."

Despite saying that, they all are basically down for the count already.

They're powerless and they don't have any more spiritual energy left.

The moment they arrived here, they are immediately assaulted by a huge killing intent that almost made them pass out on the spot.

But out of their sheer will, they managed to stay awake. And after that, the results were clear... They don't stand a chance fighting against Semiramis.

She basically just toyed with them the whole time.

Even now she's still seated on her throne never taking a single step away from it.

"My real purpose?" Semiramis grinned: "Nothing much... I just wanted to see with my own eyes just what kind of girls you all are."

"?" They become further confused by what she said.

"Wh-Where's Kogarashi-san! Please let us see him!" A girl with multiple fox tails pleaded. She was one of the two ghosts that Semiramis revived. The other one being the woman with the military outfit.

"Hmm... How should I say this..." Semiramis tapped her cheek with a slight frown: "The man you've known as Fuyuzora Kogarashi shouldn't have existed in the first place."

"...What are you talking about?"

"You girls know what a clone is right? Just like the ninjutsu that ninja girl used earlier."

"...Yes?"

"Well, it's basically the same case with Fuyuzora Kogarashi. He's my husband's clone... Sort of." Semiramis said.

"...Huh?" Their mouths become wide agape in shock.

"No need to be so surprised. You girls are from the supernatural world so it shouldn't be too hard to understand, no?"

"B-But that's just... That's just impossible! There's no way Kogarashi-san is a clone! He has been living with us this whole time! I can feel his warmth when we slept together!"

"Hoo?" Semiramis squinted her eyes at the fox woman: "You slept with him?"

"E-Eh, no! Th-That's just a figure of speech! I-I mean we do sleep in the same room but that doesn't mean we did anything else!" She said embarrassedly.

"Hmm... Well, what I said is true whether you believe it or not. My husband is a God just like me and he's capable of creating a clone of himself. He created a clone of himself or avatar whichever you want to call it to see if his power can be copied or not." Semiramis explained.

"One of the reasons why Fuyuzora Kogarashi is so strong was because he has a tiny portion of my husband's strength within him."

"No way..." They become downcast after hearing her words.

"No need to feel so disheartened. It's not like he's truly gone... He just returned to my husband's body." Semiramis snapped her finger to release them from their chain.

"Here, let me show you something..." Semiramis waved her hand to project an image.

On that image, they could see a devilishly handsome man with shoulder-length black hair. What made them dumbfounded is not simply because of the man's feature but rather because he looks a bit similar with the man that they've been searching for.

"That is my husband's picture when he was a bit younger. Seems a bit familiar?"

"...He looks like a mature Kogarashi-kun but much more handsome!" A busty oni from their side exclaimed with an amazed expression.

"Fufu, it's too soon to be surprised... Now, this is his current picture." Semiramis flashed a calculating smirk before she changed the image once again.

This time the image shows Issei's current look coupled with a killer smile from him.

"..." All of them, without exception, become dazed at the sight of his picture.

Semiramis who saw this grinned to herself. Looks like they're going to have another batch of sisters soon...

Semiramis narrowed her eyes and started to inspect them one by one.

She teleported behind the woman wearing a military outfit first.

"Wha-?!" The woman snapped out of her daze when she felt Semiramis's presence behind her.

"Hold still." Semiramis whispered before she started to grope her breasts.

"Kuh!" The woman groaned with a slightly flushed face.

"O-Ouga-san!" They called out worriedly.

"Fumu... Ouga Makyouin, was it? Nice breasts... It should be perfect for breastfeeding your child. And as for the hips..." Semiramis started to caress her hips and butt: "Also great, good for childbearing..."

"Wh-What are you talking about?" She asked with a flushed face. The way Semiramis touches her body really makes her body goes all tingly and hot.

There's something else within that touch of hers! It's not just a simple caressing! She probably used her magic! She has trouble standing upright just from her little touch.

"Oh? Don't mind me, don't mind me... I was just inspecting your body~"

"Y-You! Aah! Mmh! S-Stop that!"

"Okay, that's enough... You get a perfect score. Your body is really sensitive that it reminds me of one of my sisters. Now then, who's next." Semiramis clapped her hand after she let go of Ouga Makyouin's body. The latter dropped to the ground while breathing heavily.

The rest of the girls are starting to tremble on the spot when Semiramis's gaze landed on them.

"Ah, let's go with you next." Semirami's eyes landed on the trembling fox woman.

"Eep! N-No, do-don't touch me there! Eek!"

When Semiramis is done with her, she also dropped to the ground with her eyes spinning and her face couldn't be any redder.

"Mm, perfect score as well. Well... Who's next?" Semiramis said with a refreshing smile.

...

"Name."

"Ryo Van Ho-"

[It is advised for the user to not lie.]

"...I mean, Ryo Fujiwara."

"Race."

"Human."

"Age."

"18."

"Gender."

"Isn't it obvious that I'm a man?!" The young man couldn't help but retort.

"You can never be sure. One of my acquaintances is a male and he looks more beautiful than most females. The same thing might apply to woman albeit in reverse." She said while scribbling on her tablet.

"Are you saying that I'm so ugly that even as a girl that I might look like a man instead?!"

"To me, anyone other than my husband is average at most. Next question, Job." Nightingale said cooly and continues her questioning.

"...I was a high school student," Ryo said depressedly.

Nightingale then looked at the report on her report tablet.

"It is said here that you passed out because of Kanna's punch. Is it true?" She asked him while crossing her leg.

"Yes." Ryo averted his gaze since he doesn't want to die a second time so soon. The person in front of him is extremely beautiful but saying that she's a flower with thorn is an understatement!

Not only the person in question is powerful herself, but her husband is also the supreme ruler of this world! He might be not the sharpest tool in the shed but he ain't the dullest either.

"And the reason for that is because you're daydreaming about being stronger than her father?" Nightingale continued her questioning without knowing the thousand thoughts that are currently circulating inside Ryo's mind.

"...I wasn't aware that the Supreme Overlord is real." The young man answered helplessly.

Who can expect some random crap he spouts turns out to be real?

"Hmm, so you're being delusional? Perhaps maladaptive daydreaming? Or perhaps dementia?" Nightingale muttered to herself.

"It wasn't all of the above!?"

"As I said, you can't be too sure. Let me bisect your brain and see if something is wrong with it."

"Hell no!!!"

"If you're worried about the cost then you don't need to worry since it's for free. Think of it as an apology for Kanna's action."

"That's not what I'm worried about! And I rather have something else as an apology!"

"Such as?" Nightingale asked with raised eyebrows.

"Uhhhh..." He becomes stumped thinking of what he should ask.

...Asking for one of her daughters' hand in marriage to complete the hardest objective? No, that seems to be out of line... And he doubts that she will agree to it as well.

When he was still thinking to himself, another voice resounded from the entrance.

"Is he awake already?"

Ryo lifted his head and saw the same woman and young girl who knocked him out.

"Um, he's just awake a few minutes ago." Nightingale nodded.

"Good. Kanna, don't you have something to say?" Okita Souji urged her daughter.

"Uuu... But he lied... He said that he was stronger than papa..." Kanna said grumpily.

"He doesn't know, Kanna. He doesn't know that your father is real, he is an otherworlder."

Ryo gaped seeing how his 'secret' identity got revealed so easily.

[The user doesn't need to be shocked. Lady Okita Souji and Lady Nightingale can easily discern your origin with just a single glance. The inhabitants of this world have mana flowing inside their body and the user has zero mana, hence your identity is quite obvious to them.] The system explained.

[Also, the user is not the first otherworlder that got here.] The system added.

Does that mean he's nothing special? Damn it... Just when he thought that he finally has his dreams come true...

His harem dream just went up into the smokes... Which teenager of his age doesn't dream of a harem of their own?!

"Come on, Kanna. Remember what your father said... If you're in the wrong then..."

"You have to apologize... Fine." Kanna is still pouting but she properly went forward and apologized at Ryo: "Sorry for hitting you."

"E-Eh? Oh, I'm sorry as well for saying some random stuff. I didn't know that your father is the Supreme Overlord." Ryo hastily does a follow-up with a deep bow.

"Nn! Papa is the strongest!" Kanna lifted her chest in pride: "Nobody is capable of defeating papa!"

Okita and Nightingale chuckled at their daughter's words.

"Okay, it's time to go, Kanna. You have a class to attend to. We don't want to be late." Okita clapped her hand: "And you, sorry for my daughter's action once again. Feel free to take some rest here if you're still feeling unwell. And welcome to <Netherworld>, we hope you enjoy your stay here." She said with a thin smile.

"G-Got it!" Ryo couldn't help become mesmerized at Okita's smile.

[It is advised for the user to not have any ideas towards Lady Okita Souji. The only outcome you will face is eternal death.] The system warned.

'I-I know! I was just charmed slightly by her smile, that's all.'

"Well, we'll take our leave. Come, Kanna. Say goodbye to your Nightingale mama."

"Um. See you later, Gale mama!" Kanna gives Nightingale a hug.

"Un, take good care of your health, okay? Don't let mama here find you being sick." Nightingale said with a pampering smile.

"Okay!"

"Then, see you later, head nurse."

Then the two of them left the hospital.

"Well, seeing that you're a newcomer here. You might as well go check the adventurer's guild if you want. You can do some odd jobs while you're getting yourself used to this world." Nightingale said towards the dazed Ryo.

Of course there's an adventurer's guild... Ryo thought excitedly to himself but when he remembers that he basically doesn't have any cheat, he started to feel upset once again.

"Take this pill to unlock your mana potential and here's some cash to help you buy some stuff." Nightingale gave Ryo a small bag and a blue pill.

"Th-Thank you."

"If you have anything you need to ask then just ask the system in your body. It should be able to assist you quite a bit. Don't worry, we won't be taking the system away from you since Kathryn doesn't really care whether you have it or not." Nightingale continued.

"G-Got it..." Ryo couldn't help but smile bitterly. All of his 'secrets' are easily exposed right from the start... Can this still be considered a dream come true? Guess not but at least he gets to know about magic...

And didn't she said that this pill will help him unlock his mana potential? He wonders if he possesses some monstrous talent in magic! He started to become excited once again.

Ryo then hastily swallows the pill...

"...O-Oh! I-I can feel it! This power!" Ryo exclaimed joyfully.

This is it! His moment has come! Now come to him! Ultimate strength! He will become the strongest magician there is!

...

...

Huh? Why did it suddenly disappear? That overpowered feeling suddenly just went poof...

[Congratulation to the user. You have successfully awakened your magic potential.]

Huh? But he hardly feels any difference? And where did that huge strength that he just felt a moment ago went?

[That short power spike is normal for anyone that has awakened their magic potential for the first time. With that said, the user has a mediocre magic talent... Your magic talent is at rank-D at most.]

Rank-D? That's it?!

"..."

Ryo slumped to the ground feeling more upset than before...

While he's still feeling down, the system continued to inform him of the power classification.

[The ranks from the bottom to top are as such: G, F, E, D, C, B, A, S, SS, SSS, EX.]

Ryo is too upset to properly listen to the system that he just started to shed tears instead.

"Are you that happy from unlocking your magic potential? Congratulations then." Nightingale said.

Happy? He feels upset, damn it! All of his dreams just went into smokes! No talent, no cheat... This system is also a super fickle system that could leave him at any time! This is such a shitty isekai life!

"You can still rest here if you want just like Okita said. I have other appointments so I got to go now." Nightingale picked her tablet up and proceed to leave the room.

Ryo is still slumped on the ground feeling upset with his whole situation...

...

Somewhere in the void between worlds...

This place is not dark like the normal void but rather there's a floating castle and its surroundings are filled with beautiful sceneries.

Standing amongst the flower fields is a young girl with flowing white hair and striking golden eyes.

"Damn ants... With such limited knowledge. they keep jumping around the void without thinking of the consequences." The young girl scowled: "They're only making father and mother jobs harder."

She doesn't want these ants to create new trouble for her parents since it will take away their time together. Don't they know just how busy they are nowadays?

While the young girl is still cursing the 'ants' within her mind. A portal appeared behind her.

"Hey, sis. Why look so gloomy?" Out of it, came another tall young girl with a curvy build with long dark brown hair, with the top tied up with a white hairpin and her fringe slightly covering her left eye, and red eyes.

"Mm? You're here? Is it time already?" The white-haired girl glanced at the newcomer and her gaze softened by quite a bit.

"Yup." The dark brown-haired girl nodded with a grin.

"Oh, I'll be right with you."

"You better be quick. Taotao went ahead of us and she might get a headstart already. I heard she just returned with mother Yunyun earlier today." The dark brown-haired girl added with a chuckle.

"What? Then we better hurry!" The white-haired girl becomes tense and hurriedly flew towards the portal. Thinking about their sister who loves to pull pranks on her own family members gives her a headache.

"Hahaha. No need to rush that much. We can just ask dad for another one later." The dark brown-haired girl followed after her.

"I heard father is currently with elder sis- I mean mother Bryn and mother Nero. So he's not available right now." The white-haired girl said while they're still flying in the void.

"Hee, is that so? I wonder if I should go after them instead?

"Mother Forzelotte has warned all of us to not follow after him... I heard eldest sister got caught redhanded when she was about to go to father's side. You know how wary mother Forze is nowadays."

"Eldest sister got caught? Hahaha! Now that's something we don't hear every day." The dark brown-haired girl laughed out loud: "By the way, what's that in your hand?" She pointed at the black and red cube in her hand.

"Huh? Oh right. I forgot about this ant." The white-haired girl tossed the cube away carelessly not caring where it will land.

"Is that okay? Just throwing it like that? I sense a lifeforce within that cube."

"It's just an annoying ant. There were two of them but I already tossed the other one away to who knows where."

"Hee, oh well. Hey, sis, want to hear about my trip to the sea this time? I managed to score a giant sea serpent earlier! I bet if we ask dad to cook it for us then it will be extremely delicious!"

"I'll hear it when we get back. Besides, why do you like mingling in that tiny world anyway? That world Gods are too useless that they couldn't even keep the order of their world properly."

"Because it's fun! And you always say that you will listen later... Well, no matter. I can just share my stories with our little sisters. I bet they will be thrilled about their big sis adventure. Then I'll get to be their fun big sis! Rather than a certain someone who's always overly serious."

"I'm not always overly serious!"
