World War – 2
[Brother, my body is weird.]
“…”
“Fate?”
While spending ti with L, I quickly stood up at the ssage from my younger sister. I was waiting for her to contact , but I wanted a report on the changing situation. Not this odd, cartoonish line.
[Going through puberty again, Si-yeon?]
[Kak! Ugh!]
“What?” The mont the idea that a certain group would dare to take care of my precious younger sibling started a fit of intense anger inside of . It occurred to that in such a situation, I doubted my sibling would even be able to report it to . If so, what sort of situation was it? Were the Elakatra raiding her? I had taken asures to prepare for such a situation…so what the hell was it?
“You look nervous.” L was staring at , my embarrassnt reflected in her transparent eyes.
“Now you know this relationship is a lie, do you think it makes sense?”
“Just because the beginning was wrong doesn’t an that the accumulated ti and emotions we’ve spent together are aningless.”
“…It looks like the man I love is right.”
[Brother, quickly…!]
I couldn’t afford to joke with L anymore. I ignored her secretly emotional words and began to put on my clothes hastily; she puffed her cheeks and watched quietly. She picked up sothing from the bed and held it out to with that petulant look.
“Your underwear.”
“Oh, yes.” This ti, as I went through the evolution to beco a Belkatina, my ash-colored skin had turned white. By the ti I was safely dressed, L slowly flicked her finger to materialize her dress over her porcelain white form. It would’ve been nice if I had such an ability, but I didn’t have ti for the little things. I opened the gate in the ground and put one foot in.
“I need to figure out what happened. I may not be able to return for a while.”
“It’s okay, I’m used to waiting.” L replied and then looked as if she had more she wanted to say but was hesitating. She flinched away, then gathered her courage to approach .
“I don’t know everything because you haven’t told . But…”
“Tell .”
“I think the current situation is outside of what you’ve assud. Everything is moving so suddenly…especially that man who shares my na.” El. Not my lover here, L, but the head of the Elakatra. The first letter was the sa, but everything else was different. I hadn’t thought deeply about that fact before, but L appeared to be under so stress from it.
“I think there may be sothing else, other than Elakatra. So…be careful.” She raised on her toes to gently kiss . It was so cute I unconsciously stroked her hair.
“Don’t worry, I’m thinking about it too.” I left L, who watched with anxious eyes and went up to Earth to check on my sister. Using Ubiquitous, it was easy to reach her quickly.
“Huh, ha…brother?!” She seed to be in a building owned by Erkindra, her body lit up by so dark energy. It looked like it was restricting her, but it wasn’t. It was the mana of Jinma.
“How…this suddenly…!” I couldn’t understand any of her words, but I realized roughly what happened upon seeing the scene. My younger sister was trying to evolve into a higher system—the answer as to why was obvious. I ran wild underground and went through a massive growth that also applied to my subordinates. Since the mbers of Rebellion had already entered the upper system, it didn’t cause a violent reaction, but my sister was still in the lower system.
‘She even has the mana of Jinma now…’ I was expecting sothing like this, but watching her felt absurd. I was reluctant to admit that my sister was reaching a point where she could no longer be considered fully human. I knew she wouldn’t have any issues with it, but even so, my heart was heavy. She was undergoing an evolution that a human wasn’t capable of, but there was a problem. Her mana was beginning to run wild.
There would be no such thing as an imperfect evolution for those under my imdiate control. It may be hard for her to deal with the power of Jinma due to my evolution, but she would be alright. The evolution should’ve ended instantly, but it dragged on due to the lag it took for it to occur, given that she was on Earth. The flow of mana to her hadn’t been smooth, and now the mana flowing out was enough to fill the entire building as it changed her. It was a bit horrifying to watch, but I smiled to reassure her.
“Don’t worry, you won’t die.”
“Ahhhhhhhh!” The evolution ended shortly after my arrival. Dozens of mbers of Erkindra rushed to investigate the mana, but I stopped them all from entering. They shouldn’t see her new appearance. In the aftermath of her evolution, she staggered half-drunkenly to her bed before turning to glare at .
“Brother…how?”
“Congratulations on evolving.” I threw her a set of won’s clothes she wanted from Rain. It was a unique item I bought to give to her. Her clothes evaporated during the evolution process, torn apart by the mana, so she quickly snatched it up to investigate it.
“What is this… it’s unique, no…more than that.”
“Hm?”
“Why are you so calm while looking at a naked woman?!”
“You’re my younger sister.” Her body had matured again after entering the upper system, but it was nothing compared to L’s naked form. Not that I would ever share those thoughts out loud.
“It’s not okay because of that…!”
“Dress quickly or you’ll catch a cold.”
“I’ve evolved, so my new body wouldn’t catch a cold even if I fell naked in Antarctica!” She dressed with an unpleasant expression, wearing the cloth that contained imnse magical power. It was more durable than tal armor despite being made of fabric.
“There’s sothing weird behind my back.”
“It’s the wings of Jinma. It’s like a symbol of the elves’ enemies, so don’t let others see them. You can control it with your mana, so try it now.”
“Huh…why did I suddenly beco like this? Brother, what happened?”
“Well…” I went ahead and explained the situation of the Devil’s Night to her, deciding it would be best to explain it outright. She grew rather angry as I spoke.
“Why didn’t you bring ?”
“It was dangerous.”
“What if you died? I…”
“What if I took you and you died? I appreciate your concern, but you at least have to be able to keep up.” Tears ford in her eyes as she was unable to retort. I felt a bit sorry for my harsh words, approaching her to gently brush her hair before she started crying.
“I’m more worried about you than you are about . I’m not trying to punish you.”
“Liar.”
“I’m not lying. You’ve grown stronger, so let’s fight together next ti, okay?”
“That’s a lie too.”
“I’m not lying.” I thought the childish way my sister still acted was cute.
“Si-yeon, it’s an ergency so I’m heading in!” The door burst open as an uninvited visitor showed up. It was my sister’s right hand, Han Jia.
Only
“A war burst out between the US and China…ah…” When she found stroking my sister’s hair to comfort her, her eyes widened. She glanced at my sister as if she didn’t know what to do.
“Si-yeon looks like she’s matured sohow…”
“She just evolved…”
“Ahhhhh!” Han Jia’s face turned red as she yelled in surprise. I didn’t want to tire myself out by talking to her, so I ignored her and opened the gate back to the underground.
“Whether it was planned by the elves or not, we’ll need to intervene. I’ll be right back with the rest of them, so you…”
“I’ll be beating Han Jia in the anti!” I jumped into the basent as my sister lunged for Han Jia. After explaining the situation to L, who was relieved to see , I headed out straight away to round up the guild mbers. It took only seven minutes to return to Earth.
In those seven minutes, the world was undergoing a massive change.
