Later Development! The Intimate Brother and Sister Evaluation!
"Um… I"m very sorry."
On the large bed Jun is kneeling in seiza while apologizing. Of course not to Yuuna. It is to Dark Disaster that he is apologizing.
"Umu, I don"t mind it."
The purple haired little girl gives an easy going nod. After releasing his pent up b.e.s.t.i.a.l l.u.s.ts and raping every hole on Yuuna"s body over and over again, Jun has returned to being the quiet and polite boy he originally was. Since then this is the first thing he"s said. He may not understand completely, but he has apparently understood enough to know this was a farce set up for Yuuna"s benefit.
"You don"t seem like you"re really Yuuna"s brother, you"re much smarter than her."
"Eh, what do you mean?"
"There"s nothing deeper to it."
"Guuh… Jun"s really diligent with his studies, but just being smart isn"t everything."
"Umu, the opposite type to Yuuna."
Properly studying unlike his foolish sister, both of his parents often lamented how they could have such a clever son but a dullard daughter. At Dark Disaster"s evaluation Yuuna groaned, but stayed silent. Luckily for Dark Disaster, as she"d suspected, Jun"s love of s.h.i.+ny Angel had come from a core of his love for his elder sister and thanks to her nudges everything had worked out as she planned.
"Well then, let"s talk about the future."
"The future?"
"Yeah, the future. Yuuna, Mary and Jun too."
Having said that, Dark Disaster takes out Hiros.h.i.+ma"s speciality confection Momiji Manju from nowhere. Unafraid of Dark Disaster, Jun points at the confection and happily speaks. "Ah! I say that on television before!"
"Umu, Momiji Manju, I have both normal and raw types prepared."
"A raw Momiji?"
"Umu, it"s a bit sloppy. However, it is apparently a popular one but Mistress prefers the normal ones. Well, it"s a matter of taste. Anyway, there"s quite a few so you can try both, ah, also here is a portion for your parents.
"Ah, thanks very much… Hm, what? Onee-chan?"
"No, I"m not after anything."
"Is that right?"
This is too much for Yuuna to take in. Seeing her dreadful foe and her little brother get along so easily is truly bizarre for her.
"Okay, listen up while eating your Momiji."
Saying this, the little girl grabs one of the manju out of the bag and then takes a big bite of it before continuing.
"First of all, I"ll explain the current situation.
From there, Dark Disaster begins describing everything from her first encounter with Yuuna.
"Yeah, I think the raw Momiji was actually rather delicious."
"Fumu, is that so. Well, it seems it would sell especially well to children. But still, this country seems ot have a lot of uncooked sweets."
"I don"t know what Dark Disaster"s world is like, but it seems humans from Earth tend to prefer their sweet things to be soft."
"Is softness delicious?"
"It seems to be a primitive response, the brain things that soft things are save and not dangerous, thus they are safe, thus soft food is good, thus delicious too."
"Fumu, I don"t know if that by itself is true though."
"The rest has to do with the amount of saliva."
"The saliva?"
"Yes, because j.a.panese people originally produce a low amount of saliva they tend to prefer things that are soft on the palette such as mochi rather than tough things that need tearing and crunching."
"Hoh, I see, thanks for teaching me."
"Um, Mistress-sama…"
"Hm? What is it Yuuna?"
"No, that is… you were going to talk about the future?"
"Oh, that"s right, for now you"ll have to wait though. I need to talk about some important things first."
"I see…"
The talk about the sweets was more important than the future. This actually seemed to be something Dark Disaster considered important. Just thinking about that made Yuuna feel a little sad. Also, Jun seemed to have had a quick match with Dark Disaster.
"is it okay?"
"No, it"s fine. This is an important and serious subject."
"Hah… anyway, thank you for always bringing along sweets. They were delicious. The purple tart was especially nice."
(Jun… that purple tart, it stole your sister"s first kiss…)
"Oh, and the Menbei, it was really spicy, but I really liked it. It was the first time I ever ate it."
(Jun… that Menbei, your sister got it while walking around the city while dressed as a dog.)
"Umu, that one was my absolute favourite!"
Dark Disaster is smiling happily.
"Yeah, the sweets that Dark Disaster-san gave us as presents were all really delicious, thank you."
"Umu, well then. I"ve told Yuuna this before, but the confections of this world are extremely delicious. When I go see Darling next I need to make sure to bring him as many souvenirs as possible."
"Darling-san"s world… Isn"t Mistress-sama"s Darling-san on the Magical World?"
"Umu, it"s different."
Dark Disaster answers right away. Speaking of this, Yuuna recalls a conversation she once had with Mary. At the time Mary had said that Darling, the Demon King, had disappeared suddenly. Perhaps there was some kind of fundamental reason for this. Seeing Dark Disaster"s expression harden seemed to confirm Yuuna"s gut feeling.
"Well, here"s the main subject."
Hearing this, Yuuna swallows nervously. The purple haired little girl then turned to the two with a serious expression.
"Yuuna, Jun."
"Yes?"
"What is it?"
"In actuality…"
After a pause, Dark Disaster finally asked the two.
"Takoyaki… do you know of this sweet?"
Yuuna"s expression cramped after being asked that after her built up antic.i.p.ation. She was about to make a Pica.s.so face.
"Mistress-sama, what are you talking about?"
"No, that is, about takoyaki. Do you know about it?"
"No… that"s…"
Having thought that there would be a story about the importance of the world and the stars. Yuuna was ashamed of herself for expecting anything. After all, the other party was the l.u.s.tful Empress, Dark Disaster. It isn"t a partner with common sense. Somehow able to hold herself back, Yuuna doesn"t snap and just answers the question.
"Sorry, but I don"t know, Jun do you know it… takoyaki?"
"No, I don"t know it."
They both answer. Both Jun and Yuuna have never head of or seen anything call that.
"I see, that"s a pity."
"So, what is takoyaki?"
"Umu, it was about five years ago the first time I came to this world with Darling. Darling was saying that even though we were in Osaka in j.a.pan, there was no takoyaki."
"Was it Darling-san"s favourite meal?"
"I don"t think so… but the face he made at that time was a little sad. So I would like to get him takoyaki to cheer him up."
"What kind of food is it?"
"It was round with octopus inside, kind of crunchy on the outside by squishy inside."
"Crip outside?"
"Squishy inside?"
The two siblings look at one another confused. It is obvious neither has anything coming to mind.
"There"s octopus inside… a type of sweet thing. But octopus, it"s an ocean thing octopus. Does it taste good?"
"But Onee-chan. Prawn crackers are made of prawns, and they"re delicious. Noodles also have shrimp and squid sometimes."
"Ahh, that"s right. I guess there are things like that. Well, maybe it"s not weird there"s an octopus candy."
"I wonder if it"s like some kind of rice cracker. Since it was round."
"But you couldn"t put octopus in a rice cracker, there"s no way a rice cracker can have octopus inside without getting wet and slimy."
"Ahh, that"s right, you can"t put food inside a flat food anyway.
"Ah, that"s right. Darling also said that you put sauce on it!"
"Sauce?"
The two frown, they don"t understand at all. They are making such faces.
"I"m sorry, there"s no food I can think about."
"I"m sorry I couldn"t help."
"No, it"s fine. I just wondered if you knew takoyaki since it was something Darling mentioned. If you come across it, let me know."
After that, Dark Disaster eats the last remaining momiji.
"Now then, that"s finished. Jun, thank you for having a nice chat with me."
"Ah, no probs…"
"Umu, now then, let me send the two of you home."
Saying that, Dark Disaster lifts her hand and begins to point her index finger at the two of them.
"Wai, wai, wai, wait a second please! Mistress-sama!"
"Hm, what"s up?"
"What happened to the talk about the future? You were going to talk about my future! Jun and I, now that we had se… s.e.x, you were going to talk about it with us!"
"You shouldn"t be ashamed of s.e.x, even if you"re a little girl."
With Dark Disaster"s answer, her face seeming to show magnanimousness, Yuuna groans. However, despite this, she still pushes for an answer.
"It"s a simple story. I"m going to go destroy Mary. I"ll chose how to do it."
"Huh!?"
It was a fastball. However, there is no doubt Dark Disaster is serious, she will definitely kill Mary after this. Thinking about it, this isn"t something funny. Yuuna is Mary"s best friend and Dark Disaster"s enemy. Instead the fact they were sitting together and eating momiji was actually the funny thing.
"Originally Mistress said she wouldn"t, but things changed. I"m going to eat up that princess. Also, soon Darling"s big work will be in its final stage and she"s an obstacle to it."
"But…"
Yuuna could feel how pale she was getting. Not even blue, it skipped that and went deathly pale. Jun"s face also seemed a little confused.
"Fumu, you seem puzzled."
"Oh, that is… yeah."
Mary is her close friend. Both her parents are dead, a princess who escaped from the Magical World all on her lonesome. She also s.n.a.t.c.hed away Yuuna"s childhood friend, but Yuuna still feels responsible. Borrowing the words of the purple haired little girl, she hadn"t even approached Takuya. This, it wasn"t an actual betrayal.
Dark Disaster is an enemy. Her hated foe that planted a futanari c.o.c.k on her body and did obscene things to her like training her a.n.u.s and turning her into a b.i.t.c.h pet who even made her c.u.m just from having her breast milk come out. But she is also the one who saved Yuuna from despair.
"Fumu… what do you choose?"
"Uuu! …that is…?"
Although she was asked, Dark Disaster got an answer she didn"t expect from Yuuna.
"Why not?"
"That is… there"s various reasons…"
"Various reasons? Let"s go through them then. First, Yuuna, why are you an enemy of Abyss Gate?"
"Huh?"
"No, I mean the reason. Why did you join up with Mary. Why did you decide to battle again Mistress?"
"That is, well Abyss Gate killed Mary"s parents… so…"
"Fumu, okay, let"s start from there then. Yuuna."
"Ye, yes?"
Dark Disaster stared at Yuuna while asking her questions. The little girl"s purple eyes are beautifully transparent and if Yuuna lies, she"ll easily notice. Yuuna will also know if Dark Disaster lies, that"s the feeling she gets.
"At the start, what did Mary say about people like me?"
"Um…"
Yuuna remembers. It was only about a year ago that Yuuna met Mary. Yuuna was still in her first year at high school.
"Ah, first she told me she was a magical princess from the Magical World that have been destroyed by Abyss Gate."
"Umu, that"s correct."
"She said her parents had been killed by Abyss Gate."
"Umu, that"s not wrong. Mistress"s allies killed them."
"Um… She also said that Abyss Gate was going to conquer Earth and that"s why I needed to help Mary fight against them, that"s why we need to make a contract."
"Umu, that"s right. This world"s magical energy is very thin. Because you didn"t have enough magical energy, she needed to make a contract so you could use magic too."
Dark Disaster nods confirming what has been said. Yuuna feels relieved at the l.u.s.tful Empress"s words, but the next statement shakes her to her core.
"However, the first half was a lie."
"Eh? …the first half?"
"Umu, this world being invaded by Abyss Gate."
"Eh, that bit?"
More than normal, what was it about this part. This was the literal reason Yuuna had fought. Not only that, but Jun who was watching from the side, raised his voice.
"Um, Dark Disaster-san, what is wrong with that part?"
It seems that according to this explanation, Abyss Gate doesn"t intend to invade Earth. Was there something different about the acts that had been seen as aggression? As these doubts swirled, Dark Disaster spoke of unbelievable facts to Yuuna.
"First of all, the whole premise is wrong, Abyss Gate doesn"t plan to invade the human world."
"Eh? …it doesn"t want to invade?"
"Umu, that"s because the human world has been ruled by Abyss Gate since three years ago."
"Hah!?"
"Ehh!?"
Both Yuuna and Jun are completely shocked.
"Um, that… what are you saying?"
"You don"t understand. Alright, Yuuna, what is control?"
"Eh? To control, that is… this… you can tell people what to do and they have to do it?"
"Umu, that"s a mistake. There"s more to control than that."
Hearing this from Dark Disaster, Yuuna swallows while feeling relief in her heart. However, with the next question, Yuuna stiffens up immediately.
"So Yuuna. In this country the j.a.panese government rules the people, this means they"re in control of the country, so can the government order you to do things against your will?"
"Eh? Eh? Eh? …Um, no… they can"t do that?"
"Yes, well then. In the const.i.tution you have basic human rights given to you. If you don"t break the laws the j.a.panese government won"t deprive you of these rights. Well anyway, what I"m saying is that there are many different types of control."
"Hah."
She understands, but she doesn"t understand. For Yuuna who is a rather average high school girl, this content seems a little heavy. However, this apparently relates to her life, so she can"t help but listen.
"So, you understand this universe consists of eight different worlds, you get that right?"
Yuuna and Jun shake their heads. Dark Disaster then begins explaining.
"Besides the Demon World, there is the Dragon World, the Fairy World, the Beast World, the Spirit World, the Marine World, the Human World and the Magic World. By the way, this is the order that Abyss Gate came to rule them."
"Ehh… so that mean"s Mary"s world came to be ruled after the Human World?"
"Yeah, that"s one of that princess"s lies."
After that, Dark Disaster coughed and then started to explain as if giving a lecture.
"Once Abyss Gate conquered the eight worlds, it hasn"t smashed around the place destroying everything. If you do, then the people rebel and won"t let themselves be controlled. Instead we must show the usefulness and the power of Abyss Gate. For example, the Dragon World was led by a despotic Dragon King who was thrown down by Darling and the people were liberated. The Fairy World valued knowledge and wisdom while the Beast World, because they"re all meat heads, got in line after being smacked about. If they were just tormented endlessly after being conquered, they would endless rebel and never unify."
"Hah…"
The sound of this Abyss Gate was vastly different from the evil organization Yuuna had been taught about.
"Of course there will always be some who are unhappy with being ruled, but it is natural that someone will lead and in this case it was the strong like Mistress or Darling, though now it happens to be Abyss Gate."
"Um… I have a question Dark Disaster-san."
"Umu, what"s that?"
"Why did Abyss Gate bother invading in the first place?"
"That"s a good question. However, it is something I will answer after soothing Yuuna"s worries."
"Yes~."
Jun is fine, but Yuuna seems confused. However, the lecture continues anyway.
"Oh, Yuuna. What is the biggest value?"
"Value… Um…"
Values that everyone held and shared. There wasn"t much that came to mind. She was tempted to say love, but she held back since from Dark Disaster"s expression she could tell that wasn"t it. After thinking, Yuuna finally answered.
"Is it… money?"
"Umu, that"s correct. This world is more about money than physical power and ideas such as religious philosophy. In other words, it is a world that emphasises the economy. A world where the economy has developed as far as this world, there"s no other."
"Is that why the Human World lost?"
"The concept of economics isn"t bad, there is a lot of other systems it builds, knowledge it leads to. After all, the final condition that governs this world is that people who have the most money will be able to do the most."
"The point is that you should strive to become the richest?"
"Sorry Jun, but the point is a little different. It"s not how much you own, but how much influence it represents."
"How is that different?"
"Well honestly it"s not something I can explain easily. However, it, and the aggression of the Human World, made it an easy target for Mistress and Darling. Thanks to Darling having many strong friends, he was able to move riches around and thanks to this, he was able to take control of more than fifty per cent of the US, Russia and China"s wealth. Not that much."
The story of Dark Disaster is so ridiculous that both Yuuna and Jun have their mouths hanging open. Dark Disaster finished by saying that Abyss had taken control of the flow of money on the world.
"Hah…"
"Eh…"
"Muu? Are you following along?"
"Yeah, somehow."
Yuuna answers while only half understanding. However, Jun is even more confused.
"In any case, since Abyss Gate already ruled the world, the word invasion Mary used was strange."
"Mary… maybe she didn"t know?"
"That"s not it. She picked this fight despite knowing the truth."
"If so… why?"
"Oh, this goes back to before, about her contracting Yuuna. This is because that princess can"t use magic properly in this world. She made a contract after lying to Yuuna to give a since of crisis. This was probably a lie told to Yuuna to persuade her since she needed a source of energy that Yuuna had more of it than most. This is only my impression, but I think it"s correct."
"The contract… is a lie?"
Yuuna has a stunned face. But why would she do this? When she thinks about it, more questions keep piling up. It seemed to confuse Jun too and he raised a hand to ask another question.
"Yes, Dark Disaster-san, I have a question."
"Umu, go ahead."
"Yes, um… Abyss Gate is already in control of the world, so why are there monsters roaming around all over the place? What"s up with that?"
That"s right. There was also this as a problem. Yuuna and Mary had been fighting against Abyss Gate to protect everyone"s peace. What was that then? However, Dark Disaster"s answer was even more ridiculous.
"Ah, that. It"s Mistress""s hobby."
"Ho, ho… A hobby!?"
Hearing this, Yuuna was about to suffer another bout of Pica.s.so face, but as if antic.i.p.ating this, the little girl continued with precise timing.
"That"s a lie, how was it, were you surprised?"
"It"s not about being surprised. I don"t get your point or where to start."
Jun says that with a bitter smile. This is something Yuuna can agree with. Enjoying the reactions of the brother and sister, Dark Disaster continues.
"That"s just the so-called propaganda. Frankly, it"s just advertising."
"Advertising… you"re saying it"s some kind of advertising?"
"That was a thing we had to have done. Say there is a new form of energy that was discovered in the world. Due to bad diplomatic relations.h.i.+ps, let"s say that this place needed to be exposed to this energy in a way that could be studied all over without anyone being able to monopolise it. You"d need to let it be discovered in many places that couldn"t be hidden so that different nations, companies and universities could all study it at once. Although the concentration of magical energy in this world is low, if there were incidents involving another world, they would all be studied."
"But… if you attacked lots of places, your relations with those people would get even worse."
Fumu, but with s.h.i.+ny Angel and Abyss Gate battling, how much collateral damage was actually done?"
"…Ah!"
Hearing her say that, Yuuna remembered. s.h.i.+ny Angel"s special moves, s.h.i.+ny Flash and the new s.h.i.+ny Explosion, they were her certain kill techniques. However, despite defeating her foes, they did no damage to the city of bystanders. It didn"t matter how much you went crazy with it. That"s because it was magic. Abyss Gate was magic too. Despite their widespread attacks, so one had ever died, nor had there been any ma.s.s destruction. This is due to magic.
"Maa, it"s a fact we actually changed out attacks because s.h.i.+ny Princess and her ally was here and we wanted to interact with her self-proclaimed champion of justice friend. It was showy and let a lot of people see it right?"
"A show?"
"Yeah a show, it was meaningless besides being advertising. Since Yuuna and her friend were here, it made it easy to target the town so that magic could be seen. Thus we let a bunch of useless and weak monsters roam about. However, we"re getting off topic, the focus is s.h.i.+ny Princess. With her battling away in the public"s eye, she was able to feel like the centre of attention."
"Ah… yes."
Yuuna had definitely been supporting her. The kind-hearted Yuuna never asked for rewards like money or goods. Just helping her friend was the only reward for Yuuna. Thinking about it, with the cheering audiences that stopped to watch but headed home once things had finished, it was no doubt being treated like a show.
"Oh, though the traffic was disturbed for safety reasons and sometimes there were power outs, but there was no real danger since we took measure agains… Hm? Yuuna?"
"Onee-chan, that"s weird, your face kind of looks like a Pica.s.so painting."
"Ah, don"t worry about that Jun, she makes a lot of faces like that recently."
"Fuu~n, I see. But, even if she makes Pica.s.so faces, I can still love Onee-chan."
"Umu, Jun is a good boy."
"Thank you… but, the question still stands. Why did Mary want to battle Abyss Gate then?"
"Umu, well, my only theory is revenge maybe? To get the real answer you"d need to ask Mary."
"Well then, wouldn"t it be better to reconcile with Mary rather than kill her?"
"Mistress isn"t interested in that. In the first place, since Mistress is much stronger, there"s no reason to bother reconciling. Instead I"m going to make that unsightly princess dance about on top of my palm. I"ll turn her into a breeding b.i.t.c.h that squeals and howls maddened with pleasure."
"Dark Disaster-san, you"re making an evil face."
"Well there"s a reason I"m making an evil face, don"t forget I"m a villain Jun. In this world, evil and justice are just concepts, there is no such thing as absolute truth. What"s actually important is strength and weakness. Mary"s parents" argument was correct about that. That was their logic, but they were weak. Thus justice as they saw it lost and evil won, but that didn"t actually matter. If I"m strong I"ll win, but if I"m weak, I"ll lose, that"s all that matters. Well… Yuuna. Have you managed to understand?"
"Ah… yes."
Yuuna"s Pica.s.so face had faded while she was thinking. What had she done over the last whole year. Apparently she had done nothing but wasting her time and energy. Mary had been lying. The Human World had already lost to Abyss Gate. Everything she"d done for s.h.i.+ny Princess, for the public, it was all for nothing. She didn"t know what to think.
"What should I do now…?"
She was so troubled her words spilled out. However, there was something right in front of her eyes she wasn"t seeing.
"Eh? Didn"t you decide to play along with Dark Disaster-san from now on?"
The answer comes quickly, but from Jun.
"What, what do you mean?"
"Dark Disaster-san is really strong isn"t she. Why are you worried Onee-chan?"
Like before, the answer comes quickly. Hearing her little brother so quickly adapt and listen to Dark Disaster, she was worried that her might one day become a villain himself.
"Eh, but, was isn"t what worried me?"
"No, then what?"
"Mary"s a close friend."
"Eh, but Mary-san, she tricked Onee-chan."
"No…Mistress-sama is Mary"s enemy…"
"But, Dark Disaster-san helped Onee-chan."
"No… but… I…"
Yuuna becomes uneasy as she thinks. She tries to desperately come up with reasons not to abandon Mary. As if her anguish were sweet nectar, the little purple haired girl licked her lips while Jun spoke.
"This is really interesting. Continue your questions Jun."
"Dark Disaster-san, you"re making an evil face again."
"That"s fine. Mistress is an evil woman, I can"t help but make evil faces. Now please continue."
"Hah… well then, Onee-chan."
After pausing a moment, Jun once again continued his questions.
"Onee-chan and Mary-san are close friends correct?"
"That"s right."
"Why are you close friends?"
"There, there"s no reason to be close friends."
"Ah, I see. I also love my Onee-chan, there doesn"t have to be a reason. Well then, let me change the question a bit. Can you tell me ten good points about Mary-san?"
"Eh?"
"Didn"t you say that you were good friends with her? Well then Onee-chan, do you want me to name one hundred wonderful things about you?"
"Wha! Don"t say such embarra.s.sing things! Fine, I"ll say good things!"
Yuuna counts off a list of Mary"s merits using her fingers while blus.h.i.+ng as if confessing an affair to Jun.
1. She"s beautiful.
2. She"s kind.
3. She"s smart.
4. She"s popular.
5. She"s polite.
"That was five."
"It"s surprisingly hard."
"If you want, I can do ninty five about you!"
"Jeez… idiot."
6. She"s reliable.
7. She"s good looking.
8. …..eh?
At the eighth point, Yuuna furrowed her eyebrows. Seeing that, Dark Disaster smiled. A smile Jun would no doubt tell her looked evil.
"Well then, even though she"s your close friend, listing off her merits is really hard. Yuuna, just try to slowly think about it okay."
"Ye, yes."
Yuuna honestly can"t think of anything. It should be easy. For more than a yeah she"s battled alongside Mary as s.h.i.+ny Angel, she should be able to come up with three more things easily. Why is it so hard?
8. She always saves me in a pinch.
9. She is calm and gives easy instructions.
10. Her magic is stronger than mine.
"Ah, I got it!"
She says that happily. However, the two in front of her are looking back and forth with strange expressions.
"Um… Dark Disaster-san, did you know about this?"
"Umu, rather than that, I"m impressed you figured it out so quick Jun."
"What, what are you two talking about?"
"No, that is, the second half, that didn"t sound like the impressions about a real person."
"I see, what?"
"The last three especially, they didn"t sound like Onee-chan"s impressions. They sounded like what s.h.i.+ny Angel would say about s.h.i.+ny Princess."
"I see, what?"
"No, that"s right Jun. Keep going, ask your next question."
"Ahh, okay, well then, next. Mary-san is your close friend, so can you tell be about the moment you became friends?"
"About that, that"s easy!"
Yuuna wants to show off and show that her brother is wrong. So thinking, she remembers various stories about Mary.
(Yeah, I can tell him about our adventures as heroines, but not the recent stuff, it"s too obscene. I"ll tell him about the first time we fought side by side… eh? When was the first time Mary and I fought together? Huh? That"s weird? What"s?)
Yuuna struggles to remember her interactions with Mary.
Her real name is Dagura Mina Mary. She"s pretending to be an exchange student from France. She first arrived in j.a.pan from another world and needed to learn how to fit in. She had various troubles and alongside Yuuna, they overcame them. Because of a big crisis, Yuuna became the Magical Girl s.h.i.+ny Angel so that she could battle Abyss Gate alongside her.
That was how it was. However, when she tries to remember anything about that, Yuuna"s memory seems to fade and her head aches. What was the trouble they first encountered? How did they solve it? Had she ever heard a story from Mary about the Magical World? Who was her family? What was her life like? Where did she live? The more she tries to remember, the more a white veil seems ot hang in place. Did she ever hear about it in the first place?
"Onee-chan, your face…"
"Um… Um…"
"Kukuku, that liar princess, that"s the kind of person she is."
Dark Disaster, the only one who understands what"s happening is laughing. Her beautiful young face full of scorn and ridicule. Watching her, Jun can only show a confused expression, unable to understand what"s happening.
"Well then, time for your Mistress to deliver the final blow. Yuuna, is your only best friend Mary? If that"s true, why is Mary your only best friend, what about other people, what makes Mary special?"
Yuuna"s shoulders shake as she thinks about that question. Mary is her best friend, that"s good. But she has other good friends.
For example there"s Natsumi. She and her were cla.s.smates in the second grade, but after that they became friends who spent at least as much time together as she did with Mary. In fact, at least at school, she probably spent more time with Natsumi than Mary. She was an important friend. However, Yuuna had never called Natsumi her best friend, never. She could remember her friends from elementary and junior high, but she didn"t think any of them were as close to her as Mary.
"Um, I… I…"
Seeing Yuuna trembling, Jun finally couldn"t stand it anymore and rushed over.
"Stop Onee-chan, stop thinking about it!"
"Ah, yeah…"
Jun, not able to fully grasp the situation, asks Dark Disaster to explain.
"Fumu, that"s also from that liar princess. It"s a magic that controls your thoughts. It allows her to make it so you can only remember things that are beneficial for her."
"Eh, but that"s…"
"That"s right, its brainwas.h.i.+ng."
"Brai… brainwas.h.i.+ng!?"
Jun was at a loss for words. Then he looked at the pale Yuuna who was staring off into the air. Seeing her pale face, he could see there was rage building in her eyes.
"Well then Yuuna. Do you still want to go back to that lying princess?"
"Um… I… I…"
Seeing Yuuna with tears forming in her eyes, the purple haired little girl smiles slightly and shoves Jun from behind. Quickly understanding her meaning, Jun speaks to his sister in a bright voice.
"Onee-chan, you don"t need to worry by thinking about this."
"Jun?"
From Yuuna"s eyes, Jun could already see that the anger had disappeared and she was just looking at Jun normally again. Seeing his Onee-chan acting like this, he knew there wasn"t much he could do.
"Mary-san is weak, she deceived Onee-chan, Abyss Gate has already conquered the world, Dark Disaster-san is a bad guy but a good person, that"s everything right?"
"Jun. I said it before, but I"m not a nice guy."
"Yeah, that"s why I didn"t say a good guy, but a nice person. I love Dark Disaster-san. Obviously Onee-chan does too."
Saying that, Jun smiles while looking at Dark Disaster. However, a light is s.h.i.+ning in the depths of her eyes that he"s never seen while he"s been here with his sister, the hungry glow of the l.u.s.tful Empress"s obscene desires.
"Hoh, well, you say such interesting things. You really delight your mistress Jun, I love you too. Of course Darling is number one though."
Watching the boy, Dark Disaster"s smile becomes more obscene as the seconds pa.s.s. Yuuna, seeing this quickly interposes herself between the gaze of the boy and little girl.
"Um… and that"s why Onee-chan. Dark Disaster-san, let"s follow her lead. I"ll help you guys too."
"…Jun."
Looking at her little brother"s face, Yuuna looks like she"s about to cry. Seeing his sister"s upset face, Jun grins at her and then the l.u.s.tful Empress.
"Also, she said crush Mary-san, not kill Mary-san."
Their gazes intersect.
"That"s right Yuuna. Mistress didn"t say something that evil. If you listened I didn"t say kill, I said crush."
"Is that true?"
"Umu, that"s right. Mistress won"t kill Mary, when has she ever lied?"
Hearing that, Yuuna remembers.
Dark Disaster is a brutal and perverted little girl, but she doesn"t lie.
"Fuahhh~, thank you very much."
Yuuna shed tears of relief, probably because of how uneasy she"d been feeling. Seeing that, Dark Disaster wiped away her tears while talking to Yuuna.
"Yuuna is a truly kind girl. Being able to marry such a kind and gentle girl, Jun is extremely lucky."
"That, that"s me…"
"Isn"t that right? Hm, Jun?"
"Ahh, that"s right, being able to marry Onee-chan makes me the luckiest man in the entire world!"
"Jeez, Jun…"
As the little brother compliments Yuuna, Dark Disaster watches smiling as the older sister grins. Seeing a gap in her emotional resistance, the little girl suddenly speaks to Yuuna.
"However, things can"t stay as they are. At the moment Mary is a hindrance to Darling. However, I know it is hard for Yuuna, it"d be really hard for her to hurt her friend and you wouldn"t even want to have to lie to her would you?"
"Yes… that"s right."
"Umu, in that case, there won"t be anything as dangerous and nasty as killing. Instead we will just give her a little bit of punishment."
"Punishment?"
"That"s right, some punishment. You punish a naughty child who has been lying don"t you?"
"…punishment."
Hearing that, Yuuna thinks.
(Punishment… punish Mary.)
For Yuuna, everything feels chaotic, but there"s no doubt that Mary tricked her somehow.
(I was tricked…)
Having thought that, there is a real resistance in her mind to harming or abandoning Mary, but Dark Disaster said she wouldn"t kill her.
(As long as she doesn"t take her life…)
Mary is recovering from her shock and a sense of relief is dispelling the weird frustration she"s been feeling.
(Mary did a bad thing. That"s why punis.h.i.+ng her a little… is good.)
"Well then Yuuna. Just a little bit. Why don"t you pay back her a little and get rid of your frustration towards Mary."
"That… a little, if it"s just a little."
"Hoh, yeah, yeah. Well done. That"s right anyway isn"t it, if you do bad things, you get punished."
The little girl laughs with her whole body. Next to her, Jun smiles wryly.
"Dark Disaster-san, you"re making an evil face again."
"Umu, that"s because I"m an evil villain. But Jun, you"re making a good face yourself."
"Onee-chan"s enemy is my enemy too."
"Umu, that"s a good motive. Well done."
These words exchanged between the two isn"t heard by Yuuna, the boy and little girl giving evil smiles as they"re gazes crossed.
