The Broken Possessors of the Infinite Regression Academy - Chapter 147



Chapter 147 – Aria and Leona – 3

‘… … What is this situation?’

When I woke up in the morning, I was dumbfounded. It was because Leona and Aria were sleeping on either side of me, each with their arms cut off, with faces oblivious to the world.

The pillows I had brought were lying around on the bed, and the blankets I had taken out from somewhere were each covered separately. In the meantime, their hands were intertwined on my stomach.

I had a rough idea that he would not go back to his room and would sleep in mine. I was awake when the two of us checked if I was asleep or not. There was no way he wouldn’t wake up after climbing on top of me and making a fuss.

I just kept pretending to be asleep because I missed the timing to say I was awake. I would have woken up even if Aria hadn’t stuck her face in or if Leona hadn’t said she would do it too.

‘Let’s go out and see.’

The most urgent task was to get out before Sylvia caught me and caused any misunderstandings.

First, he took out the arm that Leona was holding and placed her head on the pillow that was rolling next to her. Then he did the same for Aria, taking out the arm that Aria was holding and placing her head on the pillow. The two of them were still sleeping, oblivious to the world.

With both arms free, I untied the tightly wrapped quilt on my stomach. I laid it down on the blanket, so now I could—

“Leona, here you go— oh my.”

As I was trying to get out, my eyes met with Sylvia’s as she opened the door and came in.

The golden pupils that looked just like Leona looked back and forth between the two sleeping figures on either side of me, smiling brightly. I sighed inwardly as I looked at their wide-open eyes and faces slowly spreading smiles.

“I came to check on you because I didn’t see your daughter in her room… Did you have a good time?”

“It is a misunderstanding.”

“I know. I was just joking. If we were really having a good time, you wouldn’t all be so clean-cut, right?”

If your only daughter were to sleep next to another man, wouldn’t you normally get angry? It seemed that Sylvia was supporting Leona. Since Ariya was another man’s daughter, she wouldn’t be in a position to meddle.

“It’s almost morning, so would you both wake me up? I’ll go down first and prepare the table.”

“all right.”

“Hehehe, if you come down too late, you might be ‘misunderstood’, so you can’t be late, right?”

Sylvia closed the door and left with a joke that reminded her of Leona from the old days. This gave them one more reason to wake up. The moment they came down late, all three of them would be teased throughout breakfast.

“Leona. It’s morning. You should wake up.”

First, I shook Leona’s shoulders slightly.

“Ugh… … Just one more hour… … .”

“Why is it that the time you spend sleeping is so long?”

But he just kept tossing and turning in his sleep, showing no sign of waking up.

I threw off the blanket, thinking that it might help me feel better if I got some cold air. Then, under the pajamas that were rolled up just below my chest, my white stomach and firm abs were revealed. It seemed like my sleeping habits weren’t very good.

“Leona.”

“Ugh… … .”

It was the same even when I touched her shoulder again. Leona kept on trying to get up. It seemed faster to wake Aria up first and then wake her up together. I turned around and pulled away the blanket that was covering Aria.

“Ariㅡ”

He paused, stopping what he was about to say.

Aria was basking in the morning sunlight streaming in through the window, her shoulders and cleavage exposed through her half-opened nightgown. As soon as I saw her pale skin, my head froze.

The chest, pressed between both arms, was gathered in the middle, further emphasizing the sternum. It might be natural since it was pajamas, but the underwear that was supposed to support and cover the chest was nowhere to be seen.

My frozen head started spinning again. I wondered if I could wake him up in this state, what his reaction would be like if he woke up, and if I tried to raise my body like that, I would probably end up in a state of slump down to my waist.

Then, should I open her clothes and wake her up? If she wakes up while I’m opening them, what excuse should I make? My head, which was spinning at a frightening speed, finished thinking in an instant.

“… … .”

I covered her with a road blanket. I changed the plan again. It seemed that Leona would be easier to wake up than Aria.

“Leona. You have to wake up. You have to eat breakfast.”

“It’s vacation… … Just two more hours… … .”

Even though I shook her so hard that not only her shoulders but her entire body moved a little, Leona continued to whine and just kept prolonging the time. Usually, wouldn’t her body wake up on its own at this point?

‘Is it on purpose?’

There was no way Leona could stop pretending to sleep like I did. I was about to get up because I was feeling a little dizzy, but Leona suddenly opened her eyes. Her half-asleep golden eyes looked me up and down.

“What the… … Mirane… …? Why is Mira in my room… … Is this a dream… … .”

“This isn’t your room, this is my room. Stop talking nonsense and get up.”

“Sigh.”

In that moment, Leona grabbed my outstretched hand and bit my index and middle fingers in her mouth.

“Tsk… … Haat… … Tsk… … .”

As I felt my fingers being sucked, my tongue being wrapped around my fingers, and the faint sound of water and moans came into my ears, my head, unable to keep up with the situation, froze again.

“Churup… … Huh?”

While I froze in place, Leona slowly opened her eyes, stopping sucking her finger harder and harder.

Our eyes met. Blink, blink. As my eyelids moved a few times, life returned to my sleepy golden eyes.

“Huh… … ? You’re definitely open… … but… … ?”

Then, as if he realized that his tongue was wrapped around something, he pulled it out of his mouth. My finger, dripping with saliva, appeared right in front of his face.

“… …hiccup.”

A hiccup escaped between her parted lips.

“… … .”

“… … .”

“… … .”

“Oh my. What’s wrong? What happened?”

We felt awkward the whole time we were eating breakfast.

Not only did Leona come to her senses after sucking her finger in her sleep, but Aria also got into trouble as she rubbed her eyes and woke up wondering what was going on at the commotion right next to her.

The pajamas that were hanging precariously on her shoulders somehow slipped down. Aria, whose upper body was instantly naked, froze for a few seconds before letting out a silent scream and burying herself in the blanket.

Of course, I turned my head first. If I had reacted even a little later, the pink tip would have been clearly engraved in my eyes.

After such an incident that had occurred in the morning, it was only natural that the meal would be awkward. Only Sylvia, who noticed the subtle atmosphere between us, smiled happily.

“Then let’s go. I’ll show you around the village.”

“Yes, yes. Let’s go, Mira.”

After the meal, I set off for the center of town with Leona and Aria, who were still stiff, by my side. Sylvia, who was seeing us off, was even smiling broadly.

The hometown of the two was a typical rural village. Thanks to the magic of life, it fulfilled most of the human dreams unlike the real countryside, and it was not that small in scale.

“This is the central square. It’s where the first well was dug, and the first village was formed around here. I think the well has been gone for a while now.”

Leona and Aria, who had been acting awkwardly at first, gradually regained their yesterday’s appearance as their minds calmed down. The fact that their brief explanations were becoming more detailed was proof of this.

“Why do I see so few men?”

I looked around and asked. If there were about 10 women walking around on the street, I would see only one man.

“Oh, that? That’s because I went on a subjugation mission with my father. I took you there like this last time too. It’s a loss because you can’t do your work, but it’s better than letting the monsters run wild nearby, so there’s nothing I can do.”

I also thought it was because it was a yuri romance world, but it seems not. Since most of the plausibility was explained as Laura’s fault, I didn’t have time to recall the subjugation story I heard yesterday.

“Hello, mister! Good morning!”

“Did you sleep well? Are you okay where you said it hurt?”

“How’s the calf? Is he doing well?”

What surprised me as I explored the town was that Leona was much more approachable than I had expected.

She greeted most people she saw first, and everyone she greeted responded with a smile. It didn’t seem to be just because Leona was a warrior.

“Leona has been like that since she was little.”

As I was watching Leona arguing with the man who said he would pay for the fruit and give it to her as a service, Aria spoke up.

“She’s energetic, kind, has strong beliefs, and gets along well with everyone. It was Leona who first spoke to me. If it weren’t for Leona, I would still be helping my mother with her work and spending my free time locked up at home reading books. As you can see, I’m a bit of an introvert.”

“I remember you were the one who spoke to me first, even though you’re an introvert.”

I still remember the day of my entrance ceremony. It was the first time in this world that I felt like I didn’t fit with someone.

I had no idea that our relationship would turn out like this later on.

“that…….”

Aria blushed slightly.

“… … This may sound like a random question, but Mira, do you believe in fate?”

‘It’s fate.’

It seemed to be an extension of the conversation I had with Leona that night. At that time, Leona had given an ambiguous answer, and Aria had said with confidence that she believed it.

“Well, if I had to divide it, I’d say I’m on the side of non-believers.”

“Could you please tell me the reason?”

It’s simple.

If the concept of fate really exists, then all the struggling and tantrums I did in my old world would have ended up being the result of a predetermined course of events.

“It feels like everything I’ve done is being negated by one word: it was meant to be.”

I hated that all that time was defined by one word: “It was meant to be that way.”

“Is that so… … .”

After hearing the answer, Aria seemed to be deep in thought. I waited without opening my mouth.

“I’m here! Let’s go have lunch!”

Meanwhile, Leona returned with a basket full of fruit in both hands, as if the conversation was over. Judging by the amount of fruit, it seemed that she had ultimately lost the fight.

Aria, who had been looking lost in thought, smiled brightly again.

“Okay, let’s go. Let’s go to my house, Mira. I’ll say hello to Mom and Dad too.”

“Can you come to me so suddenly? I didn’t even tell you.”

“It’s okay. Mom contacted me.”

It felt natural. Was that the reason? I nodded and followed Aria, when I heard a loud commotion at the entrance of the village.

We exchanged quick glances. It was definitely not a good sign. As we hurried our steps and approached them, the villagers who had spotted us hurriedly cleared the way. In the center of them was a man with a bandaged arm.

Leona and Aria’s expressions hardened as they saw the blood spreading across the bandages.

‘… … Not good.’

Wilhelm Brunhild groaned as he watched the kobolds approaching from afar. His blade was already dull from the blood and fat it had accumulated.

There was a limit to throwing away a dull sword and swinging the weapon of a wounded person instead. Now, there was no weapon left to swing instead.

‘It’s clear that they were easy to catch until last time.’

To begin with, Kobolds were not that threatening of a monster. That’s why we led only the villagers to go on a campaign against them, and we achieved an overwhelming victory every time.

But today? Not only had he suddenly become several times more ferocious, but his strength and speed had also become incomparably stronger than those he had faced before. I couldn’t believe it.

Wilhelm, too, would have ordered a different attack if it weren’t for his intuition and skills as a former knight. The group of kobolds before his eyes were just as threatening.

Up until now, we had managed to escape without causing any casualties, but that was reaching its limit. The encirclement had narrowed to the point where it was impossible to break through any further.

“Everyone, prepare to fight! We must buy time somehow!”

In the end, Wilhelm made a decision. He would hold on to the one person who had managed to break through the encirclement. His daughter would have returned to the village by now.

All those who could fight took up arms. There were only about ten of them. Wilhelm also stood at the very front of the line, aiming his bloody blade.

But Wilhelm’s decision never came to fruition.

-Wow, wow, wow, wow!

This was because the ice that poured down from the sky swept away the kobolds’ encirclement. The kobolds were turned into living ice statues.

While I was shivering from the eerie chill that spread across the floor and feeling bewildered, someone descended from the sky. It was a boy I had never seen before.

The boy turned around, holding a swaying sword in his right hand, and scanned the crowd of wounded. His left arm was extended forward, and a green light flowed from his palm.

“Oh, it hurts!”

Then a miracle happened. Not only did the stab, cut, and burst wounds heal, but even the severed arms and legs began to grow back.

While everyone was shocked and delighted by the fact, the boy slowly approached.

“Are you Leona Brunhild’s father?”

“Yeah, that’s true.”

“I came first because my daughter asked me to. Leona will probably arrive a little later.”

“Leona?”

Wilhelm was embarrassed. He never expected that his daughter’s name would come up.

But the confusion didn’t last long. There was only one boy who could call his daughter by her name so affectionately and who had such overwhelming strength. My daughter had said it several times.

Originally, as a father with a daughter, I was going to test her, but I changed my mind. How can I test the boy who saved my life and the lives of countless people behind me? It’s absurd.

Besides, he had just seen with his own eyes how outstanding his skills were. Wilhelm put down his sword, wiped his hands thoroughly on his clothes, and then smiled brightly as he offered to shake hands.

“Please take good care of my daughter.”

“yes?”
