Krukkk…
Ugh… my stomach's growling… isn't there any food here…? Yuu-chan's already asleep too…
Whatever!
Now then… where should I sleep…??
In the end, Yukito slept on the floor without anything to lie on. (Narrator)
"Damn, it's cold!" (Me)
I could only stare at the ceiling of the house while thinking about something.
"Hime… I wonder if she's safe…?" (Me)
PLAK (I slapped both my cheeks)
"Hime must be fine." (Me)
"Yukito-sama, it's already late, why are you still being noisy?" (Yuu-chan)
Wait, is Yuu-chan already awake? Wasn't she still sleeping?
"Yuu-chan, I want to ask… since when have you been awake?" (Me)
Yuu-chan's face looked a little panicked and she turned her eyes away.
"Since… right when we got back earlier." (Yuu-chan)
"Hah… why didn't you say so…" (Me)
Then, the silence of the night enveloped the two of us.
No conversation, no bustling sounds, just the calm of the quiet night.
"Yukito-sama, do you want to raise your Creation Skill tomorrow?" (Yuu-chan)
"It's already possible?!" (Me, excited)
I've never really maximized this skill of mine… having a cheat skill can be called pretty cool too.
Just imagine, in anime or manga Isekai… even Demon King-class enemies would get wiped out while the MC is still asleep.
"Actually, I have a little magic power in my body." (Yuu-chan)
"Hmm… what kind of magic?" (Me)
"Two actually, lightning and water… though I've never used them since I got to this world." (Yuu-chan)
"Maybe we can find the true potential of your Creation Skill, then we could reach Charlotte's place faster." (Yuu-chan)
What really is my purpose for coming here? Was I just dragged here by that Kageya Kuro guy?
The Demon King has been asleep for hundreds of years already, hasn't he? Then… there's nothing Yuusha has to do, right?
"Yuu-chan, do you think Hime's still safe?" (Me)
I can't just pretend to forget about Hime… if the three of us came together, we have to go home together too.
Hime wasn't a burden—in fact, she was the one helping me and Yuu-chan back in Necvalion.
"According to my data, Hime's status screen still shows a signal." (Yuu-chan)
"If we survived, then she should have survived too… she should have…" (Yuu-chan)
...…
"Hoaaam… oyasumi, Yukito-sama." (Yuu-chan)
"Oyasumi—" (Me)
"W-wait!! HEY, SHARE THE BLANKET!!" (Me)
---
The next day, sunlight began to slip in through the gaps in the front door. (Narrator)
I woke up with my body feeling a bit stiff and heavy.
Definitely because of the cold last night… and Yuu-chan was stingy enough not to share the blanket.
I saw Yuu-chan outside the house, since the door was left open.
"Yuu-chan, what is it?" (Me)
"Yukito-sama, this…" (Yuu-chan)
I walked closer to Yuu-chan and stood beside her.
I saw someone sleeping in front of the spot where Yuu-chan and I were standing now. Who is this person?
"Is this… your friend?" (I asked Yuu-chan, just in case she had a friend in this world)
"I don't have any friends here at all." (Yuu-chan)
"Then, this—" (Me)
Suddenly, that person woke up from her sleep and stood up, staring at me and Yuu-chan.
"Onii-san, onee-san… who are you?" (Her)
W-WHAT THE—!? ANOTHER NEW CHARACTER!?
Short hair, already checked… cloak, already checked… now a LOOOLIII!?
Her small body… shoulder-length short brown hair… wearing a gray cloak…
Her face looked slim, her cheeks soft, with a short skirt below her knees, her thighs slightly visible… is this the typical loli girl?
I crouched down and looked into the loli girl's face.
"You… what are you doing here?" (Me)
"Anna! My name is Anna!" (Anna)
"Etto…" (Me)
Yuu-chan immediately grabbed both of the loli girl's hands, her eyes sparkling.
"Nice to meet you, Anna! Call me Yuu-nee, okay?" (Yuu-chan)
"Yuu-nee…" (Anna)
"KAWAAAIIIII!!!" (Yuu-chan)
Yuu-chan hugged Anna tightly, though her hug was a bit forced.
But… WHAT KIND OF CUTE CREATURE IS THIS!?!?!
A combination between a standard girl and a loli girl… surely a blooming flower garden!
"Yuu-chan, you said you wanted to level up Creation-kun's skill today." (Me)
"Ah, right! Anna-chan, want to come along with us?" (Yuu-chan)
HAAAAAHHHHHHHH!?!?!?!?
"Wait, wait! She's coming with us!? We haven't even met Hime yet, and now we have to take care of some random kid whose origins we don't even know!?" (Me)
Huweeee (Anna cries)
"Onii-san, am I being a bother…?" (Anna)
"Yukito-sama…" (Yuu-chan)
"Ughh…" (Me)
In the end, Anna came along with me and Yuu-chan, who were going to train.
Yuu-chan stopped at a meadow not far from the house. Then she invited me enthusiastically.
"Yukito-sama, Anna-chan, look at this!!" (Yuu-chan)
Yuu-chan suddenly stretched her hand forward as if she was about to unleash something.
"Goddess of water who sleeps, your roar that shakes the entire ocean, Fourth-level Magic—Water Area!" (Yuu-chan)
The grassy ground in front of Yuu suddenly collapsed downward and filled with water.
I could only stare at Yuu-chan, gaping at what had just happened before my eyes.
"Well? Pretty cool, huh?" (Yuu-chan proudly)
"All I have to do is follow what you just said, right? That's easy then!" (Me)
I stood next to Yuu-chan and stretched my hand out just like she did earlier.
I took a deep breath.
"Yukito-sama, focus on the flow of magic. Stay calm, and when it feels complex in your hands, just release it!" (Yuu-chan)
Focus… focus… HERE IT COMES!
"Goddess of water who sleeps, your roar that shakes the entire ocean, Fourth-level Magic—Water Area!" (Me)
A huge light surrounded my hand, this is gonna be awesome, right? Remember this, everyone!!
"Behold! The power of the MC!!!!!" (Me)
The light started to fade, and a small ball of water appeared… only to explode after a few seconds.
"Hah?" (Me)
HAHAHAHA!!!!
"Yukito-sama, what was THAT!?" (Yuu-chan, laughing)
"Onii-san, you're so lame!" (Anna, laughing too)
"T-this is just the beginning! Once I train more, I'll be able to flatten an entire country!" (Me, smug)
Yuu-chan carefully examined my hand.
"Yukito-sama, your hand… it feels strange." (Yuu-chan)
"It feels like your body is being restrained by some kind of seal I don't recognize." (Yuu-chan)
"A seal? Why's this suddenly becoming complicated?" (Me)
"The seal only functions if the victim is within range of the caster." (Yuu-chan)
"It'll probably fade away eventually! Come on, let's train again!" (Me)
Unfortunately, the two of them still hadn't realized.
From afar, Anna was watching them with sharp eyes. (Narrator)
"These two… are a threat~" (Anna)
Anna smiled.
"Onii-san, you're my primary target~" (Anna)
