Vol. 3 - Chapter 130 - Katariona Gets Worked Up
Entering the main residence, Leon rushed straight into Marianne's room at once.
"Miss? You have returned? And what's happened to get you so worked up?"
The head butler called out as he came down the main staircase.
"Head butler! We'll talk later! Call Mother and Father!"
"Yes, ma'am."
I hurried to Marianne's room.
Both of our two rooms are on the same floor and adjacent to each other. Marianne's room is next to mine.
I could hear Leon's yelling from inside the room.
"May! No, God of Creation! What do you mean? Was the Plunder Magic activated?"
God of Creation?
"Leon! Stop it! May is just a child!"
I ran to May and hugged my little sister.
"Onee-sama?"
A little over a year has passed since I last saw her, and her hair has grown longer. Gently caressing her soft golden locks, I pulled May into my arms to protect her against me.
"What are you trying to do? Leon. How can you blame May?"
"Rio. I am ......"
May clung to my arm.
"It's okay, onee-sama."
Even though her smile is supposed to be innocent, somehow she looks more mature.
"Please gather everyone here."
I took May and silently entered the parlor, where my parents were waiting for me. Chris seems to have followed them and is sitting awkwardly on the sofa.
"Rio, welcome back. Congratulations on your study abroad."
"Father, Mother, I'm back."
I had a lot to tell my parents. I wanted to give them some souvenirs, too, but I was having a hard time finding the right words. I could barely manage to say hello.
Leon was nowhere to be seen. So I asked Marie, who was waiting nearby.
"Leon-sama went to the Transfer Gate to call Kikuno-sama just now."
As long as the Transfer Gate is not closed even in the absence of a practitioner, it is open to everyone. It is still open in case Kikuno-sama or Tojurou-san should be unable to board the Emperor Cruise.
I would have gone with you if you had said a word to me. No, I wouldn't have gone with you. Not with my emotional state being shaken like this.
"Ryu, are you there?"
I called out to the space and a small dragon appeared.
"Did you call-pinpororin?"
"If possible, I would like to have Brother brought here."
I cannot transfer myself to a place whose location has not yet been established as a point of reference. So I would have to ask Ryu to do it.
"I understand. Hold on a moment- pinpororin."
I have decided that if Plunder Magic has been invoked, then it would be best to have Brother with us.
"Head butler, could you please prepare something to drink and something light to eat? It's going to be a long day."
Father instructed the head butler to prepare snacks and drinks.
"Yes, sir," he replied, "Marie, let's go."
"Yes, Head Butler."
Silence reigned as the head butler and Marie walked out of the parlor.
I don't see any sign of Flare-sama or Daaku-sama. Are they going to summon the other gods?
The fact that Leon went to call Kikuno-sama means that he and the other gods are planning to discuss the matter together.
I was fidgety and restless. Then I saw a small hand that gently placed itself on my clenched hands.
May smiled at me.
"Calm down, sister," Mei said, "It's going to be all right."
"......May."
How can I let my sister encourage me! I am the older sister. I need to get a grip!
I gave both cheeks a clap with my hands to get into gear.
"Alright!"
May imitated and clapped her own cheeks.
"Alright!"
Ahh, so cute!
"Me too!"
Chris also tried to clap her cheeks, but she was too enthusiastic, and bam! The sound echoed through the room.
"Ouch!"
"You're a little too enthusiastic, Chris. You've gotten stronger, so be careful."
A natural laugh leaked out.
Suddenly, a space opened up, and my brother landed with a spin in the air.
"Big brother!"
He has grown even taller than a year ago, from a boy to a young man. Even though he is my brother, he is so handsome!
"Hi, Rio. I see you're back from your study abroad. Welcome back."
"Brother, aren't you in class by now?"
"I was just on break. I came to the Potions Preparation Room to pick up some things for class, and was surprised when Ryu-sama showed up."
After that, he called his teacher to let her know that he was leaving early and came home with Ryu's Transference Magic.
"Thank you, Ryu."
I thanked Ryu, whose face was emerging from space.
"It's what Rio asked me to do-pinpororin. I'm going to go get the other gods now, so wait for me- pinpororin."
After Ryu disappeared into space, something fell as if to replace him. The falling something dropped on the carpet.
"Gwah!"
It was Tojurou-san. And there was Kikuno-sama attached to Leon as she sat on top of him.
"Ggh! Hey, Kikuno! How long are you going to be on me! Get out of the way, you are heavy!"
"My goodness, how rude to say something like heavy to a woman!"
Kikuno-sama puffed out her cheeks and stood up.
"Pfft! You look like a crooked frog."
"Well, Chris. That's a little insulting to frogs."
Kikuno-sama gave chase after Chris, who was laughing. Tojurou-san, I'm sorry for that.
"What!? Ugh! I got drunk! I feel awful."
Tojurou-san got seemingly intoxicated when he made the transition. He left the reception room in a hurry.
However, the Transfer Gate should not have connected to this point here ....... How on earth did that happen?
"What a sloppy landing."
It was Ron-sama and Sylphy-sama who jumped down from the space.
"Was it Ron-sama's Transfer Magic?"
"The cat there was in a hurry. So I transferred him directly to Yurie's place. You should be grateful, Leon."
Ron-sama's said, indicating to Leon with his chin.
"Hmph!"
"Yurie! We meet again. Hm? Is this Yurie's sister? So cute."
Sylphy-sama patted May's head, who was sitting next to me. May was also happy being patted.
"My name is Marianne Marina Grandeur. Dragon Princess."
"I see, I see. Marina, huh."
May has become quite attached to Sylphy-sama.
"Leon."
I spread my arms out, beckoning Leon. Then Leon hopped down from Kikuno-sama's arms and climbed onto my lap.
"...... Rio. Sorry about earlier."
"Me, too. I'm sorry I got angry."
The space opened up again, and this time the gods came out.
"What a nasty fellow you have here," she said. "Why is there a black snake here? Oh, I'm sorry. Were you perhaps a dragon?"
"A dragon god! I'm gonna beat you, little vixen."
Sparks flew between Ron-sama and Laura. It seems they don't get along.
T/N: When May was a baby she said one~shama to mimic a baby voice slurring. And then now she’s grown up so I started with onee-sama (proper full-fledged word). And then later transitioned to sister since everyone else refers to everyone with sister or brother. So this will be the only ch with this weird wording going on.
TL: It’s a giant reunion for all our pals now~ Can’t wait to see our serious meeting and solutions next time~ Also a lil side note/question, but did Rio not know her sister was the god of creation before ?? That was my impression from this ch but tbh I don’t remember. Anyways, hope you enjoyed and happy reading!
