Chapter 786 261 - Cleaning Up (Part 2)
"Sorry for the confusion. Young Miss, this spoiled girl is the current god of our world, the keeper of the stars, Guide. But she also went by Miriette Lisea Espine not that long ago."
"!!!"
Zoemi sighed at the behavior of the platinum-haired girl and leaned to the side to make eye contact with his extremely shocked cousin.
"Zoemi. Don't you think that your introduction lacks some critical information?"
Miriette furrowed her brow and asked while impatiently rubbing her feet on the black-haired youth's thighs.
"Don't you think that an average person would have enough trouble accepting a literal deity appearing in front of them?"
"No. Are you ashamed of me...?"
Zoemi breathed out softly and looked up at the prideful girl who answered bluntly and tilted her head giving him a suspicious look.
"Oh, my Guide..."
*tug*
*Kyaah~!"
The black-haired young man groaned while rolling his eyes before grabbing the platinum-haired girl's ankles and pulling her off the table and on top of his lap – to which she responded with a squeak of joy.
Zoemi gazed into her playful eyes and moved his hands up, tracing her legs and waist before moving them forwards and covering her shapely butt.
"Young Miss. As you might expect, Miri and I are together. Together-together."
"Yes, you will be invited to our wedding once things calm down~"
The black-haired young man said to Aedlier without taking his eyes away from Miriette and similarly, the platinum-haired girl added addressing her without taking her eyes off Zoemi.
"A-ah... o-okay... congratulations..."
The amaranth-haired girl blushed and took the safe option of staring at her own knees although she still would occasionally sneak a peak at the couple that started to be rather sweet with each other given the chance.
"Hmm... Zoemi, try to limit your time with her. If you won't draw a proper boundary line the poor thing is bound to fall for you."
"EH?!"
It turned out that Mieirette was also glancing at the younger girl, she even ended up meeting her gaze and pointing it out to Zoemi, causing Aedlier to call out in utter shock.
"Miri, now you embarrassing me on purpose."
Zoemi shook his head and gave the girl's buttocks a stern pat that could be interpreted as a soft slap.
"Nh-hh-hh~! Aww, no. You are the one who underestimates yourself. No one is safe from catching feelings for you~!"
Miriette arched her back and grinned with excitement, leaning against Zoemi's torso and snickering with less than a fraction of an inch separating their lips.
"...what are you even talking about? I would say that most people do not find me appealing in such a way no matter how much time we spent together."
The platinum-haired girl's comment seemed to be too much for the black-haired young man as he shook his head from side to side with a troubled expression and corrected her.
"Oh? The man denser than a platinum slab now thinks that he understands the people around him? Alright, in my greatness I will humor you. If you tell me a name of a person who didn't fall for you after you properly spend some time with them and I will admit that I was in the wrong."
Miriette raised her brows and had a good chuckle before proposing a bet.
"Burushi."
"PFFFT!"
Zoemi dropped the name without hesitation and got sprinkled with Miriette's saliva as the platinum-haired girl snorted so hard she almost fell off his lap.
"...what's so funny...?"
"...haaa... ehm... sorry."
Zoemi's gaze grew cold and Miriette flinched and began acting all cutesy while taking the handkerchief out of the young man's pocket and using it to wipe his face from the mess she made.
"No, seriously, Miri. I am quite sure that Burushi doesn't see me like that. Do you know how much time I spent hanging out with her in the past timeline and nothing happened? We are on best friends or even siblings level."
Zoemi grabbed Miriette's wrist, holding her back, and declared with a stern expression.
"...oh, you poor innocent soul..."
The platinum-haired girl looked at him and her expression turned gentle as she breathed out in a mushy voice.
She raised her other hand and touched the young man's face with this look of pity in her eyes before...
*click*
"...what the....?!"
...she moved her hand away from Zoemi's face for a second just so she could snap her fingers, and with that simple action she ended up summoning the very confused blond-haired girl.
Burushi looked around sharply before she fully comprehended what exactly happened.
She was wearing the light enchanted armor and her armored shoes and chinguards were covered in dust and smudges of soil which meant that until that very moment, she was taking part in the training.
...and yes, the most promising youths taken from the Aspakeony Academy were continuing the King's Guard training, the only thing that changed was the instructors...
"Wh... What the hell guys?! I'm actually taking this whole thing seriously!"
Burushi calmed down a bit and called out in annoyance as soon as she localized Zoemi and Miriette.
"Sorry for that, Bu..."
"Hey, Burushi, I'm okay with sharing him with you."
"...?!"
"..."
Zoemi sighed and raised one hand trying to apologize for the trouble that Miriette caused the blond-haired girl, but the platinum-haired girl cut him off with a smug smile causing Aedlier to flinch and stare at her in disbelief while Burushi just stood there, blinking repeatedly.
"Oh, my Guide, it's..."
"YOU ARE?!"
The black-haired young man could not believe the audacity of the platinum-haired girl... well, not really, he knew for a fact that it was completely in character for her... but then he got cut off again, only this time it was Burushi.
The blond-haired girl turned bright red and she climb on her tiptoes while clenching her hands together over her chest, staring at Miriette – or rather at Zoemi – with this longing expression that made him close his mouth instantly.
"Of course. I am not like Zoemi, I don't enjoy teasing my friends to the point of tears."
"Whoa there, since when I am doing that?!"
Miriette nodded her head with a satisfied smile making Zoemi let out an offended gasp.
