However, virtual-novel.net train of thought was cut short when a pleasant voice called out, “Xoie? Xylina! Where have both of you been this entire time?”
Hearing that, Xylina then replied, “Ah! Mila! Well, we were earlier-”
Much to Xoie’s relief, Xylina managed to recall their earlier promise in time which prevented virtual-novel.net from blurting out everything.
Either way, after a slight nudge from Xoie, Xylina quickly recovered virtual-novel.net wits as virtual-novel.net continued, “…We… were earlier just having a look around out here! After all, the sea is rather beautiful at night, wouldn’t you say?”
In response, Mila simply smiled subtly as virtual-novel.net nodded before replying, “While I know it isn’t exactly easy to negotiate with the King in the North, you have to remember that our adoptive father specifically chose us to complete the task. With that in mind, while things are currently a little boring, we should really try to obey adoptive father’s orders and refrain from wandering around outside!”
“We get it Mila… Regardless, I’ve brought back some medicine that I ordered some subordinates of mine to get for you. You always seemed to suffer from serious headaches every night, so I thought I’d get you something to help calm your nerves. I got the idea when I heard that strange and valuable herbs existed on earth, you see. Following that, I got my subordinates to pick a few relevant ones for you!” explained Xoie as virtual-novel.net took out the strange and invaluable medicine that virtual-novel.net subordinates had prepared.
After handing it to Mila, Xoie then cleared virtual-novel.net throat before asking, “…Speaking of which, how familiar are you with this world…?”
Mila had a rather mysterious history. After all, while virtual-novel.net hadn’t mastered any forms of training, virtual-novel.net was an incredibly smart person. Due to that, the old lady always had Mila by virtual-novel.net side. After some time, the old lady found herself appreciating Mila’s efforts so much that Xoie’s father felt that it was only right to adopt virtual-novel.net into the family!
With that in mind, despite Mila only being his adoptive daughter, Xoie’s father had chosen virtual-novel.net to be the main spokesperson for the negotiation instead of her! Due to that, Xoie would be lying if virtual-novel.net said virtual-novel.net wasn’t at least a little jealous.
After all, Xoie clearly more outstanding than Mila in terms of experience, appearance, and strength. Hell, Mila had begun virtual-novel.net life here as nothing more but the old lady’s maid! Why was virtual-novel.net being given so much power and respect now? As if that wasn’t already enough, Xoie had just found out that there was an extremely strong person who seemed to like her!
Speaking of that person, it was now clear that the rumors were true. Mila truly had come from earth!
“…Hmm? This world? How do I put this…? I find this place to be… both familiar and strange… Every time I come here, a mysterious feeling sweeps through me… What more, for some inexorable reason, my heart begins palpitating a lot more when I’m in this world! I really have no idea why that is myself!” replied Mila as virtual-novel.net stared into the horizon, slight worry reflected in virtual-novel.net eyes.
She truly had no idea what was wrong with her. For one, ever since virtual-novel.net woke up again, virtual-novel.net couldn’t remember a thing about virtual-novel.net past…
Even so, the blurry figure of that man would always appear in virtual-novel.net mind every single night… He wasn’t a strong-looking person by a long shot, but even so, Mila could still sense how strongly virtual-novel.net loved her…
‘Who are you…? And why does my heart beat so much harder every time I’m here…?’
As the three sisters remained silent for a while, a figure suddenly dropped from the sky, landing close to where the trio was standing!
He appeared to be a male servant, and after bowing toward them, virtual-novel.net then said, “Miss Smith and Miss Quartermain, my master has organized a national party in Yanam, and he’s invited all three of you to attend!”
“I see. Do thank Lord Yao on my behalf. Once we prepare ourselves, we’ll head over immediately!” replied Mila with a nod.
Meanwhile, a pained scream echoed across the walls of the Turnbull family’s mansion.
Staring at his son’s chopped-up corpse, Hooper—the master of the Turnbull family—felt extremely faint, hoping that this was all just a nightmare.
