"Parallel worlds? Of course I've heard of them."
lusine nodded outright at this.
"What if, in a parallel world, you were a man?"
Lot continued questioning lusine.
"A man? Are you saying that's the kind of relationship I have with Sir Lancelot?"
Hearing Lot's words, lusine imdiately grasped his aning.
"From a certain perspective, yes, that's correct." Lot nodded again. "In another parallel world, you served under Morgan."
Upon hearing this, Morgan subconsciously puffed out her chest.
Hear that? In another world, you were my subordinate.
So why not make the sa choice this ti?
Co pledge yourself to I'll grant you a fine position.
That was what Morgan thought to herself.
However, lusine's gaze remained fixed on Lot, paying little attention to Morgan's expression.
After hearing Lot's words, she furrowed her brows and asked, "I've never heard of parallel worlds where the sa person can be both male and female. Besides, parallel worlds fall into the domain of True Magic. If there were any crossing between worlds involving and that knight Lancelot, I would surely have sensed it."
[Who said parallel worlds can't change genders? In this world, Artoria is a girl. But in another world, King Arthur was a bona fide man. Though your situation isn't quite the sa as that parallel world's case.]
Beside them, Morgan was startled by Lot's thoughts.
You've already thought of two parallel worlds before.
What,
now there's a third?
So besides a sister, I even have a brother?
As a child, Morgan had often lanted having no siblings, feeling deeply lonely. But now? She was actually feeling overwheld by having too many younger siblings.
"As for the matter of parallel worlds…" Lot glanced at lusine. "Do you have mories spanning over twenty years?"
"You an…?"
lusine paused to reflect, then her expression shifted slightly.
She realized that her mories from a few years ago were completely different from how things were now.
"People may influence one another across worlds."
Lot spoke aningfully.
"I see."
With those words, lusine imdiately stood up.
"I'll go find Morgan now and see what's going on over there."
Having said that, she pushed open the door and walked out.
Watching lusine leave, Morgan asked Lot, "Shouldn't we reveal my identity?"
"No need. I trust Fairy Morgan over there will make the right choice."
Lot replied to Morgan.
[Besides, even in the Lostbelt, lusine wasn't truly loyal to Morgan. So in this situation, it's better to be cautious.]
"Mm, I understand."
Morgan nodded in agreent, having heard both Lot's spoken words and his internal explanation.
Then, she said to Lot, "Well then, let Fairy Morgan deal with lusine's matter. For now, we should focus on how to incite infighting among the fairies."
As the two spoke, Kaa of the Earth Clan entered.
"Alright, I've finished the house. Lady lusine, and you two fairies, you can move in now. It may not be luxurious, but I've made it as refined as possible."
Upon entering, he noticed only Lot and Morgan were present and asked in confusion, "Why are there only two of you here? Where's Lady lusine?"
"Oh, her? She's already left."
Morgan replied offhandedly.
"Huh!? She left? That brat how dare she waste my goodwill!"
Kaa clenched his fists, seemingly expressing his displeasure.
However, at that mont, a small figure appeared at the door again.
"Hm?"
lusine tilted her head, looking at Kaa.
Kaa's angry expression froze instantly.
Cold sweat dripped down his back.
But lusine paid him no mind, instead earnestly asking Lot, "After I finish my business, I'll co back for you. Can you leave a way to contact you before you leave?"
"Of course."
Lot agreed without hesitation.
Satisfied with the answer, lusine nodded and turned to leave once more.
From start to finish, she never spared Kaa a single glance.
Only after lusine had vanished did Kaa finally exhale in relief.
Then,
he turned to Lot, his expression growing even fiercer.
Clenching his fists tightly, he shouted, "Listen here, you two fairies! If you think you can just "
Kaa's words abruptly cut off.
Because, at that mont, Lot was smiling as he gripped an iron hamr, effortlessly molding the rectangular head into the shape of an axe.
"...It would be my honor, Kaa's honor."
Beads of sweat reappeared on Kaa's forehead.
This level of strength might not rival lusine's, but it was still far beyond what he could handle.
In an instant, his deanor shifted to groveling servility.
Seeing this, Morgan smiled and said, "Then let's go see our new house."
"R-Right away!"
Kaa hurriedly led Lot and Morgan to the residence.
Along the way, Morgan asked Kaa curiously, "By the way, you Earth Clan fairies really are skilled at building houses, aren't you?"
"Of course! Every one of us Earth Clan fairies is a master architect!"
Puffed up by the praise, Kaa boasted further, "And lately, I've been building new houses nonstop. These humans who've arrived all rely on us Earth Clan fairies to construct their hos!"
As he spoke, the group arrived at a small, exquisitely crafted house.
"Here, this is your place. Alright, I'll take my leave now."
Kaa pointed at the house and turned to go.
But just as he was about to leave, Morgan tilted her head and mused aloud, "Still, it's for the best. After all, we fairies need these humans. Your work lets them settle down peacefully, making them easier to use for our purposes later."
"Huh? What are you talking about? Aren't we just taking in refugees?"
Kaa frowned at Morgan's words.
