Sisters?
Esray tilted slightly her head to one side, looking intensely at the two won in front of her.
She saw the wide, bright grin of the obviously energetic i and the calm, almost gloomy Ellie, who hadn't spoken a single word since they t.
She looked at them consecutively before shaking her head softly.
"You don't look like sisters to ," she said finally, clearly not believing i's words.
"Not minding how different your two personalities are, you don't even look a little bit alike in a way that could make you sisters."
At her words, i laughed.
"Hahahah! Hey, there are sisters who don't look alike, you know? Who told you we had the sa parents? Maybe we don't have the sa mother or father — so on what basis are you judging us?" i said, looking at Esray's changing expression with a grin.
And that was true.
She hadn't really considered those possibilities. And now that she thought about it… maybe they actually were sisters after all.
Seeing Esray's face gradually co to accept her words, i couldn't help but laugh again.
"We are sisters — but not biological ones," she said suddenly, not wanting to fool soone she was interested in and wanted to befriend.
Ellie, at her side, was watching all this with a neutral gaze. But inside, she was cursing i violently for doing all these unnecessary things.
They should have just waited for Ethan, not wasted ti trying to make friends.
She sighed softly inwardly, 'What a bother…'
"Then… you're friends who consider yourselves sisters?" Esray asked, not really understanding why she was even this interested in what these two were.
i shook her head.
"We love — and are the wives of — the sa man. So… we're sisters!" i said joyfully.
But her words deeply surprised Esray. Her eyes widened as she looked again at the two won.
Then she shook her head.
"How is that possible? I didn't know there was a man as capable as Ethan out there," Esray said, still visibly stunned by the revelation.
But suddenly she shivered uncontrollably.
She raised her head and looked at the two won in front of her — and what she saw chilled her heart.
i's face had suddenly gone blank, without any visible emotion. Her golden eyes were glowing so intensely that the temperature in the room began to rise.
Ellie's expression didn't change… but if earlier Esray had felt like Ellie wasn't truly focused on her, now she felt her complete and absolute attention.
And it made her uneasy.
It was like shadows were crawling up her back.
"Did… did you just say Ethan?" Ellie spoke for the first ti.
Her question made Esray's thoughts snap into sharp focus — and suddenly, everything clicked.
Two beautiful won with talent that could rival hers.
Won who looked ready to kill her just because she said his na.
And… won who claid to be the wives of the sa man.
It wasn't that difficult to guess.
Her eyes widened even more.
"You… you two are Ethan's wives?" she asked, her voice full of disbelief.
At her words, i and Ellie smiled coldly.
"i Yagami, Sword of Oath."
"Ellie Yagami, Umbra Fortunae."
They said consecutively — then, in perfect unison:
"Nice to et you."
They smiled.
But in their voices… there was no warmth.
Only coldness.
And the unusual eting took a sharp new turn.
…
anwhile, while three won were busy having murderous thoughts for each other for him, Ethan was lying peacefully on Airi's lap, completely at ease.
Airi looked at his sleeping face with visible worry. It was starting to take too much ti, but until now, there hadn't been any signs of danger.
So either the Archdemon had found a way to harm Ethan without the artifact reacting…
Or they were still deep in conversation.
Airi sighed.
"You're so troubleso…" she muttered but even with those words, which carried her irritation at Ethan, her hand never stopped lovingly stroking his beautiful black-and-white hair.
And she couldn't help but feel it.
It wasn't the kind of love a woman had for a man… no.
It was the kind of love you hold for a troubleso little brother.
He always irritated her.
But she would do anything to make him smile when sothing was wrong.
That kind of love.
She sighed again. "You better—!"
"I better what?" a voice suddenly interrupted her, and Airi imdiately looked down — only to find Ethan staring back at her, his black-and-white, balance-shaped pupils gleaming softly.
A srizing sight.
Ethan was truly a beautiful man.
"You must really be the type to break the hearts of young maidens, Ethan," Airi said, still looking at his face.
Ethan laughed joyfully.
"You think so? I'm actually a very good man, you know," he said, getting up slowly.
"Yes, of course," Airi replied flatly, clearly not believing a single word.
But Ethan didn't say anything more. He just chuckled softly and shook his head.
"How did it go?" Airi asked.
"It was interesting. Really — I never thought I'd et a demon like that," Ethan responded.
"But now I have to take out the spear to wake him up, and then do so deep transformation."
At that, a question surfaced in his mind:
'Do I even have the necessary points for the transformation?' he wondered.
[You have 15 quadrillion points left. It's enough.]
He sighed in relief, grateful he wouldn't end up embarrassing himself.
"What do you an by so transformation?" Airi asked, bringing his attention back.
"Well, nothing much really — just turning him into a human and oh…"
He turned and looked at Airi, whose face was now visibly puzzled.
"You'll be receiving another mber for my Church of The Allholder," he said with a grin.
Then, without waiting for her response, he turned back toward Seravax's body and stopped just an inch away.
He looked at the golden, shining spear — a weapon that exuded so much power that if it weren't for the protective barrier around him, he would've died.
Just from the residual aura alone — not even the true pressure.
That showed not only how powerful this weapon was… but also how weak he still was.
Weak without his system.
Well, not truly weak — since Ethan had used his system wisely, obtaining things that belonged to him alone.
Like his class, his bloodline, and his talents.
So even if he were to lose his system now, he wouldn't be helpless.
He'd just have to work harder… and grind endlessly.
'I hope not,' Ethan thought before suddenly gripping the spear firmly without any preparation and…
"WHO ARE YOU!!"
BOOOM—!
A sudden, explosive voice echoed directly inside his mind, bypassing the barrier entirely the mont he touched the spear and the sheer force of it made Ethan stagger, blood imdiately flowing from his eyes, ears, and mouth.
Thud.
Ethan fell.
