World’s Strongest Became the Game’s Weakest Villain

Chapter 119: Chapter 116.2: Kaiser and Ophelia (2)

The commotion settled down and the two Mythril Ranked adventurers joined me at the table of the pub. The pub was cleared out by the presence of the other two as they all stared at us with curious gazes. Even the elf receptionist, now joined by a cat-tribe receptionist, were staring at us intensely.

Of course, none of us cared.

Instead, both mine and Kai's gazes were stuck on the two fairies happily sitting on the table with their arms crossed. Titania usually wore whatever fit the occasion, but this other fairy donned a pure white dress that complimented her platinum blonde hair and beautiful wings. I couldn't see her face, but she must not look much better than Titania.

"Still... aunt, huh? I thought amongst the few people who could summon fairies I was the one with the biggest achievement," Kai muttered while staring at Titania. The Death Queen tilted her head, I could tell from her gaze that she could see the two too, but didn't seem to have a fairy of her own.

"Big achievement?" I asked. "Aren't they just fairies?"

Titania suddenly flew up and pulled my hair down my nose. "Who are you calling 'just fairy'? I am a big deal, ok! No, the biggest deal! The biggest biggest deal!"

Kai smiled at her antics. "It seems you don't know, Eugene. Ophelia here is the daughter of the Fairy Queen Mab and the Fairy King Oberon. She's a princess."

"Oh?" I hummed. Ophelia was quite the big deal. I showed her a playful bow and the other fairy returned it with a giggle. "But, isn't a princess more important than a princess' aunt?"

"HAH!" Titania screamed again. She pulled at my hair tight enough to make me frown in pain.

"I disagree too! How can you insult someone like Aunt Titania!"

"Ow ow, explain if you have complains!"

Ophelia seemed to be waiting for those words as she stood up and placed an arm on her chest. "Then listen! Lady Titania is not the 'elder twin sister' of the Fairy Queen, she's an existence beyond anything of the like! She is! The great! Queen of Evil!!"

"Oooh!" Both Kaiser and Death Queen started clapping and Ophelia pushed her chest out, as if it were her achievements.

Titania floated in front of my face and hummed.

"What do you think now?"

"You had a famous chuunibyou phase, huh?"

Titania swirled a complete circle. A giant metal bat appeared out of thin air and smacked me square in the face. It was just an illusion, so I didn't even feel it touching me, but I stuck my tongue out lazily and played dead.

"Look, she's a real queen ok? She used to lead a whole different kingdom of the Fairies! You have no idea what a big commotion you caused when you broke her seal of seven thousand years!"

"Woah, you were sealed for those seven thousand years!?"

Titania scoffed. "Do you believe me now? I am amazing, right? I am better than Ophelia, right?"

"Yes! Aunt is the best! Hey, human, say it too!"

Hmm.

I wasn't convinced, but I wasn't one to make my partner connected through my soul feel sad at all. I felt like teasing this princess a bit too, how dare she look up to my partner so much?

"I don't need all these achievements to know Titania is the best, little princess. Whether she was a queen or not, Titania would always be the best."

"Euggggyyy!"

Titania clasped my neck and nuzzled her face against me in a tiny hug while the fairy princess grapsed her dress and snorted in anger.

"Say, dusk."

The Death Queen called me at that point. I looked at her with a smile, she seemed to be the most sane person here.

"I apologize if it is rude... but have you heard the name 'Charlotte Fonias'?"

My brows perked up.

"I have. Why?"

Death Queen hesitated a bit, and then spoke softly.

"W-what's your relationship with her...?"

"She's my mum."

"Oh! Eugy, you never mentioned your mother before."

Death Queen nodded and turned away. "Oh, your mom... ok... HAH!?"

The change in reaction was right out of a movie as she turned back to me and clasped my hands.

"Y-your mom!? You mean she's alive?!"

"Nope. No clue. Never met her."

Death Queen let out a sigh with her hands on her chest and sat back down. She turned to face Kaiser, who was scratching his cheek awkwardly.

"You knew?"

"It's hard not to. He looks like a clone of her."

"You guys knew her?" I asked.

"Ah... that is..." Death Queen hesitated to speak again.

"Yeah, she almost killed us quite a few times. She was one person I doubt I could win against even now."

Death Queen glared at Kaiser.

"Enemies, then?" I asked casually.

Sighing, the lady answered. "Not just enemies. It would be better to say she was a hunter and we were her prey. Something like rabbits in front of a tiger?"

To be honest, I was growing slightly curious about my mother now that everyone I knew was her turning out to be her enemy. Just what had she done?

I shrugged the matter away.

"Well, that has nothing to do with me," I said. "I hope you guys are of the same thought."

The two of them nodded.

Death Queen stretched out her hand and ruffled my hair.

"Nothing to do with you at all, kid."

It was right then, the door of the adventurer guild swung open again.

Gasps rang out a second time today, but it was of a different kind. One of admiration.

"Kai!!" Ophelia screamed. "Run!!"

The door opened and a person with a familiar gait walked inside. The tiny fairy shuddered while Death Queen and Kaiser got into battle formation.

"N-no no!"

"Don't come closer!"

"You bastards..." the person spoke. "I even prepared a different building to herd you up, and I still have to pick you up separately, huh!? Don't you know today is the day the quest starts!? HAH!?"

"AHHH! Death Queen! Help!"

"Run run run!"

It was the head receptionist of the Deep Down Town Branch.

A tyrant everywhere.
