The Broken Possessors of the Infinite Regression Academy - Chapter 247



Chapter 247 – Side Story: The Heavenly God and the Demon God – 2

“It’s because of you, human!”

“Is it because of me?”

Mini Latina, no, the demon suddenly started slapping me with his cute little fern-like hands. I asked back in bewilderment. What did I do to deserve the goddess and the demon switching places?

‘… … It’s not like there’s no stinging at all.’

In fact, it wasn’t that there weren’t any at all, it was quite a lot. If you were to say that you really couldn’t guess anything, it would be enough to make you a dumb person who had eaten honey.

However, I really don’t remember the Goddess and the Demon God doing anything that would make them appear in the form of Leona and Latina in the Holy Window. No matter how many guesses I have, it’s just a possibility.

“What human faith have I received while my brother was away?”

“… … It’s a castle.”

“What else did you receive from the faith of the succubus, one of the demon tribes?”

“… … That’s also a holy rite.”

“Yes! The faith of humans and the faith of the demons are not gathered in the divine but in the Holy Spear. Where else would we be born if not from the Holy Spear! This bad guy! It is clear that he gathered his faith for this purpose!”

“Sister, there’s no way a human would do that. Speculation is taboo.”

Mutter, mutter, the god tapped my arm. The goddess was struggling to stop her sister. Since it didn’t hurt at all anyway, I just left it alone.

Latina, who was watching the scene, made a strange expression. It must have been because a kid who looked like a mini Latina was doing this to me.

“I understand why you appeared in the Holy Window, but why do you look like that? Neither of you looked like that.”

“That’s because of you too! When the divinity took hold in the Holy Spear, didn’t it affect us too? As the two people who hold the greatest share of the Holy Spear’s divinity!”

‘ah.’

In the end, it means that as they were inhabited by the Holy Spear, their appearances also changed. Excluding me, it would be safe to say that Latina and Leona occupy the largest portion of the Holy Spear.

Not to mention Latina, Leona’s power of the Holy Sword is no longer from the Goddess, but from the Holy Spear.

“No, Sister Nova. Calm down. It’s not the humans’ fault. If we hadn’t done this, everyone would have fallen apart.”

The goddess fidgeted and tried to separate the demon from her. By the way, the demon’s name was Nova, wasn’t it? The goddess said Equinox, so it’s not a particularly related name for a sister deity.

“I did nothing wrong! This guy ate all the faith that was supposed to go to you, so I was born like this! I can’t even use my strength properly!”

Despite my younger brother’s protests, my older sister continued to tap my arms. Even though it didn’t hurt at all, I felt bad about getting hit over and over again, so I put my hands under Masin’s arms and lifted them up.

“Eww! Let go, human!”

“Why are you ordering me around when you have no power? If you promise to be quiet, I’ll do it.”

“Eeeeek!”

Masin stretched out his limbs, trembling. With only that much reach, he was not able to reach me. His pitifully stretched out limbs flailed and cut through the air.

“Are you really not going to stop?”

“Why should a demon listen to a human? Gyaaah!”

Before he could even finish answering, I used my physical strength to throw the drink vertically.

A small body barely over 140cm in height soared high into the sky and disappeared. Literally, it rose so high that it was no longer visible. Everyone was staring at the sky with dumbfounded eyes.

“… … What did you just do, Mira?”

“I can’t let him continue to act so arrogantly. I thought he’d reflect on himself if he came down like that.”

There is a limit to just letting it go because it is a childish appearance. Even if you don’t get really angry or serious, you should make it so that you can at least show some basic courtesy.

‘I don’t think I was that childish when I only had thoughts left.’

Of course, even back then, he would argue with his younger brother and such, but he wasn’t that childish. Surely, just because he was physically a child, his mind wouldn’t follow suit.

He turned his eyes to the goddess who was blankly looking up at the sky where his older sister had disappeared. He closed his gaping jaw slightly and knelt down on one knee to get eye level with her.

“Goddess.”

“Yes? Oh, yes. Human. Why are you like that?”

“You said that the reason the two of you appeared in the Holy Window was because the people’s faith had gathered in the Holy Window?”

“Yes. That’s right. Normally, my older sister shouldn’t have anything to do with me, but because the succubi under your command gave her faith, she was dragged along. And the one who acted as a trigger for our appearance was… … .”

The goddess’s soft cheeks turned bright red. I instinctively realized what the detonator was and quickly coughed. Leona and Latina also avoided eye contact as if they had made a promise to each other.

Nika was looking at us with very pleased eyes.

“Anyway, I understand. Is there any particular problem?”

“It’s a bit ambiguous to call it a problem… … No, my older sister will definitely take it up. After all, we are now beings belonging to the Holy City.”

“Belonging to the Holy See? What does that mean…?”

I was flustered and trailed off. The rest of us were the same. As the expressions of those around us became more serious, the goddess hurriedly added an explanation.

“It doesn’t mean what you think. Our abilities as gods are still valid, but our personal domain is no longer the Heavenly Realm or the Demon Realm, but has been fixed to the Holy Spear.”

“… … .”

If the Holy Spear has become the domain of those two gods, then it can no longer be used carelessly. As I was pondering, the goddess added once more.

“You don’t have to worry, as its function as a weapon has not disappeared. In fact, you could say that it has become even stronger because we are in it.”

However, it is still ambiguous to use it like before. For now, it seems like it would be better to seal the Holy Spear and study the relationship a bit more before making a decision.

“Oh, by any chance… … Are you a nuisance, or…?”

The goddess looked at me with eyes that seemed like they would soon fill with tears. It was definitely Leona who had become a child again, so she looked much cuter since she didn’t act like a demon.

He smiled and patted my head.

“That’s not it, Goddess.”

At first, the goddess seemed to flinch, but soon she quietly closed her eyes and accepted my touch. Beside her, the big Leona, that is, the original Leona, was looking at me with her cheeks slightly puffed out.

“Excuse me, Mira. I don’t mean to spoil the mood… … When will the demon come down?”

“Good timing. He’s coming down over there.”

At my words, we all looked up at the sky. The screams of “Ah …

“Gyaaahh …

I stretched out both arms and caught the mini Latina. The machine fell exactly where it had shot straight up.

He lifted the sword he had received back up again, with his hands under both arms, just as if he was about to be thrown at me. He was gasping for breath with his eyes wide open. He seemed to be quite surprised.

“Do you want to try it again?”

Dori dori dori dori dori, the cute head desperately crossed itself.

“You’re not going to attack me anymore, are you?”

Nodding, nodding, nodding, this time it was vertical.

If it had been like this from the beginning, how comfortable and wonderful it would have been for both of us. I returned the completely absent-minded Mashin to Latina. Latina, who had received the Mashin by accident, sat the body on her lap.

“Then why are you talking back to Mira? I’m telling you not to do that in the future.”

Latina stroked Masin’s head while she did so. They really were like mother and daughter.

“Is there anything else you would like to do, Goddess?”

“… … Ah, no, there isn’t any.”

The goddess, who had been staring blankly at his warm appearance, flinched.

“The world is already being restored without us… … It was a completely unexpected turn of events that it came to this… … .”

“Then, since you’re here now, why don’t we go play together?”

“……yes?”

“Are you serious, Mira?”

“Of course. Why not?”

“It’s not that it’s impossible… … but still, isn’t it God?”

“So that’s why you were acting so fussy just now?”

“… … .”

Laura became quiet. If I came out like this, no one would have anything to say. Just a moment ago, they were playing with my cheeks, saying that I was cute and that I was a god.

“Hmm, then there’s nothing we can do. We have no choice but to ‘play with them ourselves’ so that the two gods won’t be lonely.”

Laura approached the goddess with a sinister smile, emphasizing a particular word very much.

The goddess, seeing that evil smile, grabbed my hand tightly and hid behind my back.

“Phew… … .”

I let out a drunken sigh and sat down on the folding beach chair. The cushions were perfectly fitted to my body. Even this seemed to be a magic tool.

In the distance, a campfire five meters high was burning, supposedly to set the mood. From here, it looked like it wasn’t a campfire, but rather an exorcism.

“Are you done drinking, kid?”

Erestica sat down next to me. Fortunately or unfortunately, she wasn’t wearing a swimsuit, but her usual suit.

“Because I drank a lot. Has the misunderstanding been resolved?”

“Oh, how long are you planning on mentioning this? Didn’t you clearly say it was a misunderstanding!”

Erestica’s face turned red when the dark history that arose from a misunderstanding was mentioned.

The chairman came through the dimensional gate while we were busy preparing dinner, and as soon as he came in, he found the demon and goddess being harassed and started a commotion, asking when they had made a child.

“Human children can’t be born that quickly. They can’t change their appearance at will either.”

“T-T-stop it… … It’s embarrassing… … .”

Erestica twisted her body.

At first glance, it did look like a mother-daughter relationship. I turned my gaze. Masin was making a pouty face, but was quietly eating the various seafood, meat, sausages, etc. that Latina was handing him.

At first, he kept insisting that he didn’t need human food, but as soon as I forced him to eat a bite, he became quiet. As a bonus, his eyes sparkled and he couldn’t take his eyes off the grill.

And then, since he was eating everything I gave him, I teased him by asking him to repeat what he said earlier, and he was really embarrassed, as if he had a conscience. He was the complete opposite of his younger sibling, who had been happily smiling and eating everything I gave him from the beginning.

The reason why the two gods could be so calm was simple.

“Everyone is weak to alcohol.”

“Erestica is the one who said it.”

Because the four of them got into a drinking contest with Erestica and all of them got knocked out.

As expected of a dragon, the chairman was incredibly strong with alcohol. Even though he was clearly drinking alcohol, it was so strong that it almost seemed like he was drinking water.

Later, when they were about to lose their sight, the four of them got angry at Erestica alone for being fine, and even got into a drinking contest with some Spiritus, which is said to be much stronger than disinfectant alcohol.

Of course, you can probably guess the result given that the person here is Erestica.

“How is the child? Is he okay?”

“It’s bearable. It’s a bit tight though.”

Sometimes you’ll see two Eresticas, but it’s nothing compared to how much you drink.

“So-so… … .”

Erestica, who had been looking at me with pity, suddenly lifted me up and sat me on her thighs. My head naturally fell between her two breasts. My field of vision narrowed down.

“Get some rest, child. I will take care of you.”

“I’m fine-”

“fizzle.”

Long, soft arms wrapped around my body. I felt a soft sensation on my back.

“… … .”

Maybe it was because of the alcohol, but my eyes slowly started to close as we were hugging each other like this. I thought it might be okay to sleep for a little while.

“Okay… … Sleep well, child… … .”

Erestica’s voice became fainter and fainter.

And, a short laugh.
