Book 20: Chapter 3
Nier!! Nier!
The sound of Sister Nings phone dropping nearly deafened me. It was reassuring to hear Niers voice, albeit shocking. Nier misunderstood I was imprisoned in the metal box. If I didnt appear, shed definitely kill Sister Ning because she and Sister Ning couldnt communicate. Id argue nobody knew how strong Nier was better than I did. If she wanted, she needed only one second to snap Sister Nings neck.
All I could do in my situation was belt as loud as I could, startling the taxi driver. He understandably looked displeased. I made an apologetic hand gesture then continued yelling into his phone that I borrowed. My phone was out of commission, but my SIM card was still functioning. I couldnt remember Sister Nings number, though, which was why I had to swap out our SIM cards.
Nier! Stop!! Stop! Its just a messaging device!! Im not inside!! Believe me, Nier! Let go of the woman! Shes my older sister! Dont hurt her!
I stopped hearing voices on the other end. I then heard something heavy hit the ground. Next, someone picked up the phone. It mustve been Nier who picked it up. She had no clue how to operate the machine. I shouted into the phone, Nier, wait for me. Ill be back soon!! Believe me! Believe me!!
How do How do I use this contraption? asked Nier, fumbling with the phone. Her hands shook, and words wouldnt come to mind.
Dont worry about how to use it. Im hanging up now. Ill be back very soon. Dont worry.
No!!
Niers yell froze me. I immediately grabbed the phone in my hand and loudly questioned, Whats wrong? Whats wrong, Nier? Did something happen on your end?
No I just Im just quite scared I want to hear your voice Your Majesty Her Majesty and I arrived at a strange place. N-Nobody understands what I say. And and we seem to be in some sort of cage. There are countless small rooms and doors here Your Majesty Im scared now Im really scared
Nier
Though Nier usually wore an aloof look, she showed emotions around me. She was never fearless; she just wouldnt express it. After we got together, Niers feelings became more and more apparent. Her shaky voice was painful to hear.
Driver, please go faster!
What, you want me to run red lights or something?! Were not far; were just two streets away. Well be there soon.
Nier, Ill be back very soon. Dont be scared. I wont hang up. Youll always be able to hear my voice. Wait a second What did you just say? Mommy Elizabeth is here, too?!
Yes, Empress Elizabeth is also here. However, in order to avoid danger, I came and knocked first. We chose a random door. It seems there was a reason we came straight to this house We were originally in the North. How did we suddenly arrive here? Why are we suddenly here?
Sorry, I dont know, either. Lucia and Mommy Vyvyan are also here. I dont know why were here.
The most pressing matter at hand was to do something about the four who transmigrated here. The four of them werent residents of this world. We needed to put aside how to get back for the meantime. I needed to ensure they could live here first and foremost. I wasnt rich in this world. With that said, I could cover the cost of living for four people.
Son, how much longer will it take? This metal carriage is fast and stable, but its squishier than a horse carriage. Its uncomfortable sitting in here.
Mommy Vyvyan poked her head toward the front. Her pretty face almost caused the driver, who was sitting next to me, to rear end the car in front. Fortunately, I quickly pushed her back. I checked the suburb and replied, Well be arriving soon. Its just around the corner Elizabeth and Nier are here, too, though. If it was a problem with the elven spring, why would it affect a place outside of Duargana?
Mm Mommy only made inferences about the elven spring water in the past, which is why Mommy still has no clues. But nonetheless, there are no mana traces here. To ensure that Mommy can use magic at crucial moments, Mommy doesnt want to test things with mana. Once Mommy finds a place to settle down, Mommy can begin testing with magic formations that dont cost too much mana.
Lucia queried, Your Highness, where are we going now?
To where I live.
The Imperial Palace in the North? Wait, wait, this isnt that world. So, this is your new Imperial Palace? Im looking forward to it!
I shook my head with a helpless smile: Sorry, but its no palace.
I didnt reside in some palace. In fact, it wasnt even considered a nice home. I lived in a standard home just as the countless similar homes in our small community. I wondered if the four could adapt to life here after being used to life in palaces.
========
Current time at home
Im sorry for hurting you, but there was a reason for me hurting you. I could not help it. I was honestly worried.
Nier carried Sister Ning, who had run out of energy and was so scared that she couldnt cry or speak, to the sofa and considerately covered the latter with her cape.
Elizabeth came in. She was fascinated with what she saw, particularly the television showing images. Curious, she remarked, That looks interesting. It appears to be some sort of program except I cant understand whats going on. Actually, everything in here is strange. Even this house is strange. Its similar to a cave in a mountain.
Your Majesty!!
Mm. It seems that you have found my son. Is he on his way here? While I dont know where exactly we are or whats going on, since my son is here, all is well. Nier, go see if theres anything to drink here. Itd be best if I could have a cold alcoholic drink.
Yes, Your Majesty!! But would His Majesty have alcohol in his room?
Through the phone, I prompted, The fridge. That grey box with two doors. Pull open the right door. I remember there are cans of beer in there. I dont know if it suits Mommy Elizabeths preference or not But dont get yourselves drunk. I need to talk to you when I get back!!
