Volume 13, Chapter 39 – Their Secret Date (Extra Story Part 1)

Translator Note

Spoiler Alert

This happened not long after Yisi and her companions had just left the Alexia Continent.

Ten in the morning, Helcar.

Using the [Magic Airship – Modified Type II] powered by the Heavenly Principle, Yisi’s group had taken less than a month to reach the new continent—originally, the journey should have been longer. But everyone had grown weary of the tedious time at sea, so Yisi cast a teleportation spell, transporting both people and the airship directly to the other continent.

It’s worth noting that the so-called “new continent” was not an uncivilized land. On the contrary, the standard of living here was slightly higher than on the Alexia Continent. Although people here wore simple, short clothes, seemingly not very affluent, Yisi didn’t see anyone with the status of a slave, which was a sign of social progress. Additionally, although Yisi had become a Goddess with Chloe’s help, she had no intention of using her divine status to change the world—at least, before forming the idea to change the world, Yisi wanted to take a good look at it first, rather than attempt changes without any research.

Now, staying at an inn, Yisi fiddled with a pink, diamond-shaped crystal on the table. This was the crystal Chloe had given Yisi, which stored infinite knowledge. Even though it had now merged with Yisi, she could still project it, making it visible to the naked eye.

If one looked behind Yisi, they would find the entire room flowing with connected, glowing text. These profound and mysterious characters could not be interpreted by any Alexia Continent language. Because they contained an overwhelming amount of information, they even caused the light in the room to bend, making all objects lose their original shape.

Although only the light was distorted, this was still a very dangerous situation. If an unknowing person accidentally entered the room, the moment their eyes saw the glowing text flowing within, their brain would immediately shut down, unable to withstand such vast information—these characters were not incomprehensible just because one couldn’t read them. The moment a viewer saw them, their meaning was understood at a soul-deep level.

In short, even if one subjectively didn’t want to accept it, the moment people saw the text, the information would be forcibly poured into their brains. This was why Chloe emphasized that “only those with a sufficient level could use this crystal.” Only those with infinite soul strength were qualified to digest this information containing countless worlds and countless forms of the Heavenly Principle—for a single person to digest the information of an entire universe, this was a realm only gods could reach.

This terrifying state lasted for nearly a quarter of an hour. As Yisi spread her ten fingers, the profound text flowing in the room suddenly accelerated.

“Return.”

“ Squeak! “

Abruptly, an iron cage containing several dozen mice appeared before Yisi.

After scanning the lively mice with the Omniscient Map and confirming their health was fine, Yisi let out a soft sigh. A sense of relief from completing the heavy work washed over her. She leaned back into her chair and revealed a lighthearted expression.

“Phew… After so many attempts without failure, it’s about time to get to the main point. But the candidate…”

Sitting up straight again, Yisi propped her chin on her right hand, thinking seriously.

“Pepe might cause trouble for others. Andrea and Mary would be possible, but doing so would definitely startle them. If an unexpected situation occurred, it would be bad. Thinking it over, perhaps someone from the older group would be more suitable after all?”

For instance, Lin and Lia were both the type who wouldn’t deliberately draw attention.

After giving it some slight thought, Yisi gently shook her head again.

“No… They just went out. Calling them back now would definitely ruin the mood.”

Her group had only arrived yesterday at this island nation primarily inhabited by “Dragonkin” with cat ears on their heads. Having finally ended their tedious sea voyage, everyone naturally chose to go out early to enjoy the “different world” atmosphere. Now, only she and Camilla remained at the inn.

The choice was already obvious.

Yisi’s right hand grabbed the pink crystal on the table. With a slight squeeze, the crystal quickly disappeared. Simultaneously, the leaping, glowing text in the room also gradually faded. Aside from the iron cage that appeared out of thin air with dozens of mice on the table, everything else was no different from usual.

Yisi called towards the door.

“Camilla, you can come in now.”

“Understood.”

Camilla’s obedient reply came from outside the door.

Although Camilla and she were no longer sisters in name but had a closer relationship, Camilla still addressed her as “Onee-sama.” As far as Camilla was concerned, she seemed quite satisfied with this “title belonging only to her.”

The door emitted a creak. Camilla, wearing a snow-white long dress with a large white ribbon tying back her golden hair, entered the room. Whether her ruby-like eyes or her perfectly balanced facial features, all could be described as perfect. The graceful air in her bearing was full of the charm of a noble young lady.

Yisi’s smile carried a hint of apology.

“Sorry for making you wait at the door so long. Originally, Camilla should have gone outside with Mary and the others to experience this continent.”

“What are you saying, Onee-sama? It was my proactive request to stay at the inn. ‘If someone intrudes during the experiment, the intruder will die the instant they see the magic’—that’s what you exhorted. To reduce trouble, I naturally must stay by your side to prevent outsiders from intruding. Reducing trouble for the head of the household is a wife’s duty.”

By the end, Camilla placed her hands on her waist, revealing a serene, Yamato Nadeshiko-like smile. However, Yisi could glimpse within Camilla’s ruby-like eyes a touch of pride.

Probably competitiveness. Yisi stuck out her tongue inwardly. In reality, she had also said the door had her own magical barrier; unless she actively dispelled the magic or someone tore up the entire inn along with the ground, no one could enter. Camilla had deliberately ignored this point—well, it’s cute anyway.

Facing this young girl who was both a younger sister and a newlywed wife with strong competitiveness, Yisi smiled wryly and shook her head. She pointed at the mouse cage on the table, steering the conversation back on track.

“Though I think Camilla should interact more with people outside, today of all days, not going out was a great help. The experiment has reached its final stage. I need a person to help.”

“Is it to the world you once lived in?”

“Mhm. Previously, I used not only mice and slimes with only basic instincts for experiments, but also tried intelligent creatures like dragons and frost apes. They all returned unscathed without exception. A few days ago, I myself also tried going back; there was no discomfort. Now, this last batch of experimental mice stayed for a full two days over there. As you can see, they’re still full of energy. I think my magic has succeeded.”

The so-called “over there” referred to Earth. For her partners, even the “new continent” was still a world based on magic. Whether lifestyle or social structure, it didn’t differ much from the Alexia Continent. To seek novelty, of course, a world without magic like Earth was more novel. Hence, her recent experiments.

As for whether they could return after reaching Earth, Yisi conducted extensive experiments, even personally traveling back to Earth for an inspection. She ultimately confirmed that Earth, constituted by the Heavenly Principle, wasn’t without magic. Rather, people on Earth hadn’t found the method to use magic. Because the tech tree had “branched off incorrectly,” they took a path having nothing to do with magic.

Yisi was certain: no continent would feel more novel than a world without magic yet capable of flight.

Contrary to Yisi’s expectations, Camilla showed no anticipation. Instead, her expression instantly became anxious. She took a small step forward, her lovely eyebrows furrowed together, grabbing Yisi’s shoulders with both hands.

“In other words, you ventured into danger without notifying me?”

“Ahaha… Come on, I am a Goddess. Even if I got lost, I could use the Heavenly Principle to return quickly. And I did extensive experiments with other animals beforehand. Nothing is safer than me personally going once.”

“Hmph.” Convinced by Yisi’s reasoning, Camilla was dazed for a moment, then felt resentful and dissatisfied like a little girl. “Even if that’s true, I don’t want Onee-sama to keep me in the dark. Next time, you must tell me.”

“What if I don’t tell you?”

Yisi deliberately asked mischievously.

If it were Andrea, tears would be welling up in her eyes by now, Yisi couldn’t help but guess. But Camilla only gave a childish light snort.

“Then next time Onee-sama gets teased by Evelyn and Edith, I won’t help you.”

“Eh? Even if it would let their schemes succeed?”

“Th-that’s—”

Camilla instantly became troubled.

If Evelyn or Edith’s schemes succeeded, the outcome was often that Yisi’s ownership for the evening belonged to those two—plus Hestia. For Camilla, who hoped to be stuck together with Yisi all day (both spiritually and physically), this was, of course, an unfavorable situation.

Yisi smilingly took the initiative to resolve the situation.

“Just kidding. Next time I will definitely tell Camilla. Let’s get back on topic. Mary and Pepe should be back around noon. Considering the time flow rate on both sides, we can stay a full day’s time over there. How about it? Want to try? A world without magic.”

“If Onee-sama is going, I’m going too.”

An expected yet utterly endearing answer.

Yisi curved the corners of her mouth, extending a hand towards Camilla.

“Then, close your eyes. I’m about to begin.”

“W-wait! Wait!”

As if remembering something, Camilla abruptly withdrew her hand. She looked up and down at her attire, her lovely face revealing a very rare sense of cowardice and panic.

“Onee-sama… Are we going like this? I haven’t dressed up properly. We’ll definitely be laughed at by your family—no, our father and mother. This is the first meeting; I must be exceptionally formal. Right! And gifts! Besides dressing up, I must prepare gifts that won’t be laughed at! Aaaaaah… I completely didn’t expect this day would come! Onee-sama, please give me a few more days! I need to prepare properly!”

“No, no, Camilla, no need to go to that extent.” She has the courage to grab even Pepe’s tongue without hesitation, yet now she’s unbelievably nervous about meeting ‘the in-laws.’ Yisi couldn’t help but find Camilla’s cute reaction amusing. “My parents passed away very early, and went to another world. Also, the era we’re returning to isn’t the one I lived in. Otherwise, with my current body, I’d be completely unrecognizable to machines; even buying things would be very difficult. We’re going back to a slightly earlier era.”

She had set the time for the early 21st century.

“I… I see…”

Hearing they wouldn’t meet her parents, Camilla couldn’t help but let out a long sigh of relief. But she still didn’t place her hand back in Yisi’s.

“But I still need to prepare properly. If people in Onee-sama’s world see me in this unbecoming state, they’ll definitely laugh at you.”

“Don’t worry. Camilla is always cute, no matter when. If anything, they’ll definitely feel jealous towards me because Camilla is holding my hand.”

“But… Onee-sama is also very beautiful.”

“The me in Camilla’s eyes is just like the Camilla in my eyes, right? Look at me now—I haven’t prepared at all. Does Camilla think the current me is unbecoming?”

If Tiffany were standing here, she wouldn’t make such a narcissistic remark. But with only Camilla here, she was sure the answer could only be one.

“Onee-sama is the most perfect person in the world.”

“That’s exactly it.” Yisi shrugged, signaling Camilla to reach out her hand. “Alright, get ready to go.”

Before carefully extending her hand, Camilla looked up from below to confirm.

“Is it really no problem? My current attire…”

“No problem. Camilla just needs to bring herself. That’s the best attire.”

While Camilla hesitated, trying to smooth her already flat hem, Yisi firmly grasped Camilla’s slender and cold hand. With Camilla’s soft exclamation, Yisi pulled her forward and embraced her.

And then.
