NOVEL NEXT WORLD Chapter 11: The Terrifying Woman
Chapter 11: The Terrifying Woman
After finishing the Oden and bubble tea, Aierjisi had initially wanted to continue wandering around the Small Town. However, Yake was really eager to head home; he wanted to reassure his family that he was safe.
“Since you want to go back so much, fine. I’ll go back with you for now. I still care about the feelings of my servants.”
After promising to wrap up his business quickly before taking the Little Princess on a fun adventure in the Small Town, Aierjisi agreed to accompany Yake to take care of his matters first.
“This is your Home? It looks pretty nice!”
Looking at the building in front of her, Aierjisi gave it a decent rating. Who would have thought that someone living in such a remote Small Town could reside in such a large house? Unlike her, who had to stay in her tiny, pitiful Rental House all day.
Hmm? Wait a minute, Rental House? What’s that? Shouldn’t I have been living in a Palace before? But it seems there’s a memory of me playing games in a Rental House too. My memories feel so strange.
“What’s wrong?”
Seeing Aierjisi crouched on the ground, holding her head, Yake asked with concern if she was feeling unwell.
“N-no, it’s nothing. Just feeling a bit strange.”
“Strange?”
“None of your business! As a servant, you only need to think about your own matters. I’ll handle mine.”
Seeing Yake still wanting to pry, Aierjisi assured him not to worry about her; she would take care of her own issues.
【I should clean up my memories when I have free time. It feels like there’s something extra in there.】
Aierjisi decided that, while Yake looked a bit worried about the Little Princess, since she said not to worry, it would be better for him to focus on his own matters. He should go report to his family first.
Knock knock knock!!!
After three rough knocks, the person inside opened the door.
“Brother? Is that you?!”
A girl with purple hair opened the door and looked at Yake at the entrance, seeming a bit in disbelief, rubbing her eyes.
“Xier, it’s me. I returned safely. How’s Mom and the others?”
Seeing his younger sister opening the door, Yake asked how their mother was doing.
“Mom isn’t doing too well. When Mr. Karito and the others came, they said you had died in the dungeon. When she heard about your death, Mom fainted right on the spot! If you’re fine, hurry back! The family has been preparing for your funeral!”
Xier, worried but also angry, was relieved to see Yake safe, but if he was fine, he should have come back sooner to let them know, honestly.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry! Some unexpected things happened on the way, which delayed my return. Can I go inside first?”
“Of course, but who’s that girl next to you?”
Xier looked at Aierjisi, who was hiding behind Yake. This was the first time her brother brought home a girl, and her instincts as a younger sister told her this girl was definitely not ordinary.
“Ah, she is…”
“Nice to meet you, I’m Aelgiss Platin. I rescued Yake in the Ruins. Now, he is my servant. That’s all.”
Before Yake could introduce her, Aierjisi stepped forward to introduce herself to Xier.
【Now he is my servant】…
Hearing this, Xier seemed to understand something, her eyes fixed intensely on Yake.
“It’s not what you think! Let me explain!”
Yake understood what his little sister might be thinking, but the reality was not as she imagined.
“Wow, I didn’t expect my brother’s taste to get so weird! He not only became a lolicon but also made the lolita his servant!”
“So I told you, it’s really not what you think! Ael, say something to clear this misunderstanding!”
Since his sister wouldn’t listen to his explanation, Yake had no choice but to ask for help from Aierjisi.
“What else is there to say? In the Ruins, we made a Contract, and you became my servant. This is an undeniable fact.”
Aierjisi didn’t understand what else needed to be said; it was a fact that she became Yake’s master and he, her servant.
“Indeed… my brother is a perverted lolicon!”
Xier’s expression grew increasingly horrified as she stood at the door.
“No, really, it’s not like that! Please, let me explain!”
“Explain my foot! Go die, you perverted lolicon!!!”
“Ah!!!”
And just like that, this little drama at the entrance ended with Yake’s tragic scream.
“Ah…”
Yake lay on the sofa, his soul practically escaping his mouth. It seemed he had been thoroughly beaten by Xier at the door.
“Yake, it’s so good to see you safe! When I heard from Karito that you died in there, I was so heartbroken.”
Seeing her son return safely, Reina was glad and hugged him tightly.
“I’m sorry, Mom, for making you worry. Oh, right, let me introduce you. This is Aelgiss Platin. I met her in the Ruins; she’s the one who saved me.”
Yake introduced the girl he brought home to Reina.
“Huh?”
Suddenly, when Reina looked at Aierjisi, her eyes gleamed ominously. In contrast, Aierjisi’s body trembled involuntarily.
This woman was incredibly dangerous, far more than the Magical Beasts in the Ruins!
“What a cute child! Hey, how old are you? Where do you live? When do you plan to marry my Yake? How many kids do you want?”
In the next moment, Reina squatted down, hugging the trembling Aierjisi, using her ample bosom to smother her little face while firing off bizarre questions about her family situation.
“Y- Yake, help me…”
With Reina squeezing her, Aierjisi could only let out a mournful cry, urging Yake to save her.
【Sorry, once my mom gets like this, I’m powerless. Don’t worry, there’s no life danger. You’ll just feel really weak afterwards.】
Yake conveyed this information through his eyes to Aierjisi. His mother had this flaw; once she saw a cute girl, she couldn’t help but get all affectionate. That’s how she had taken Xier back from the Orphanage.
“Ah…”
After what felt like an eternity, Reina finally finished her affectionate barrage on Aierjisi and resumed chatting with Yake about what had happened during his absence. Meanwhile, Aierjisi was murmuring, “So scary, so scary, so scary,” collapsed on the sofa as if her energy had been completely drained.
