The Broken Possessors of the Infinite Regression Academy - Chapter 274



Chapter 274 – Side Story: Big Sister, Little Sister, Older Sister

“Why is that person your sister?”

Even though I asked this, Kang Yu-na, who would normally have rushed to me and asked what my habit was, remained silent. Instead, she was hesitating and looking at my expression.

‘Was it a bit shocking?’

It would make sense for Kang Yu-na, who has lived her entire life on Earth and is a Class A Hunter in the Eternal Guild.

As soon as I arrived at the other world that I had only heard about, I was overwhelmed by the scale of the birthday banquet held by renting out an entire quarter of the empire’s capital, and although I had never seen it in detail, I met people of enormous status.

As if that wasn’t enough, the guild leaders of the Eternal Guild, my superiors, would cling to me and openly show off their relationship with me. Kang Ra-hye, who was close enough to call me “sister,” was actually someone of such high status that even the emperor could bow to her.

My boss, Nika, took me to Hwalongjeomjeong and came back with meaningful words. Looking back on all the things I’ve been through so far, I could understand why it was so hard for me.

‘… … I don’t think it’s that type of eye.’

However, the reason Diana treated me so affectionately, even calling me “sister,” seemed a little different. It felt like there was something else going on rather than just a shared sense of empathy as my older sister.

‘Did you really say that?’

The only thing that would have made those two curious was Kang Yu-na confessing that she came from another world. If not, it would be inexplicable that the two of them would act so friendly, even calling each other “Unnie Yu-na.”

Trisha may not know, but Diana was far from being a friendly person. Living as a merchant, she was just used to hiding her emotions and forcing them.

“Hmm, because our tastes are similar?”

However, the answer that came out of Diana’s mouth was completely different from what I expected.

“After talking to her for a while, I realized that Yuna is also a very refined person with great taste. It was a coincidence that we got to know each other, but after having a soul-to-soul exchange, I couldn’t help but admit it.”

“… … What is noble and wonderful?”

My eyebrows furrowed involuntarily. Diana and Kang Yu-na have similar tastes?

One side is a person who has been obsessed with erotic novels since before they were even two years old and has filled a whole bookshelf in their room with adult novels, while the other side is a person who has attached a dildo to the wall of their room.

“… … .”

Suddenly, it made sense. Now that I think about it, Kang Yu-na also seemed to have read a lot of R-rated novels.

“… … I guess that’s not entirely wrong. Tastes can be similar in that regard.”

As he said that, he stared at Kang Yu-na intently. His gaze turned away as if he was being stabbed. On the other hand, Diana was confident as if she had no feelings of shame.

Trisha was standing next to me with a half-given look on her face. It was fortunate that she had normal tastes. Somehow her usual behavior and tastes were completely opposite.

“Right? Because originally, tastes were refined and had to be seen.”

“Phew! Keuk!”

Elisier, who had been standing still, suddenly spit out the coffee she was drinking. Brown droplets flew in all directions, and Rosaria dodged her upper body in shock.

“I’m sorry… … Cough, cough! I’m sorry… … .”

Elisier hurriedly pulled out a tissue and wiped the nearby table and seat. Diana used magic to clean up the places she had missed. The white tablecloth that had been stained with brown stains was instantly clean again.

“What’s wrong, Miss Ciel? Is there something wrong?”

“Cough, nothing… … Ugh, nothing.”

Judging from that reaction, it seems that he knows the essence of what Diana calls ‘high-class taste’. To act like that in front of someone he knows is an incredibly shameless person.

“Do you really have to be so shameless to run the top? I saw it again, Sister Diana.”

“Shameless? I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“Oh, you don’t know what I’m talking about, so you’re just showing me with your actions? Why don’t you just say it earlier?”

On the outside, she looked like a poor tragic heroine lying in bed, coughing from tuberculosis, but when she spoke, she seemed thick-skinned, almost impudent.

I sat between Rosaria and Elisier, nodding my head. Rosaria was patting the spot with her hand as if she had reserved it for me.

“Uh, so… … Your Majesty?”

“Yes, mummy crate.”

It’s a little less formal than when she was acting like a saint at the Academy, but it’s a lot more formal than Rosaria’s usual voice.

“What happened?”

“I don’t know. It’s their relationship, not ours. All I know is that the three of you are quite close.”

“Sigh… … .”

I could hear Elisier covering her mouth and shuddering as she tried to hold back her laughter. The image of Saint Rosaria was quite different from that of the possessed Yu Chae-won.

Rosaria twitched her lips for a moment, then turned her arm behind me and poked Elisier’s side. It probably wouldn’t hurt much, though, since there was a basic difference in strength.

“Then what else did you talk about?”

I asked while deliberately looking at Kang Yu-na. Kang Yu-na flinched noticeably and then made a face as if she was about to die before answering.

“Well, just… … stories about life, and stories about people… … .”

“For all that, your face looks like it’s going to die. Didn’t you say that you have very refined tastes, like Diana said?”

“… … .”

Jerit, that guy was glaring at me. But it seems like he hasn’t completely lost his spirit. If he had, I would have felt bad for bringing him here for no reason.

“Can we talk just the two of us for a moment, Yuna?”

I deliberately put strength into Yuna Noona. Kang Yuna nodded cautiously. The look on her face that had been glaring at me just a moment ago was nowhere to be found.

Rosaria and Elisier didn’t react at all, perhaps because they knew she was my older sister. They were busy bickering among themselves under the table.

I went a little further into the backyard, avoiding Diana’s curious gaze.

“You’re so friendly, sis.”

And as soon as I turned the corner, I started to snicker.

“Not only is it not enough with the Black Star, but you’ve already become like-sisters with the sisters in this world. I didn’t know you were such an amazing person. I’ve seen you again, Kang Yu-na.”

“Hey, that’s what I meant. What the hell are you doing here? What the hell are you doing to have a birthday party like this?!”

“I told you before you came. This is your first real birthday party, so don’t be surprised because there will be a lot of things prepared. Next year, we won’t have anything on this scale.”

“That’s not just a lot of levels, you crazy b*stard! You have to speak properly!”

Kang Yu-na grabbed me by the collar and shook me hard. Judging from the fact that her hand had lost strength, it seemed like she hadn’t completely recovered from the shock.

“Are all the guild leaders from here by any chance? Is that why they’re so strong?”

“No, they’re mixed up? Four are from Earth, three are from here. Sister, figure out who’s connected to where. Oh, you know you have to do it alone, right? If you get leaked—”

“I won’t do it! I won’t do it!”

As if she had not expected it to be true, Kang Yu-na screamed with a shocked face.

“So, this time I want to ask. What happened between the three of you? I really didn’t know you would become so close.”

“Rice, I didn’t do anything… … .”

Kang Yu-na would normally have growled and said that it was none of her business, but she seemed to be very nervous because of what happened the past day, so she answered obediently.

“I was just asking you a bunch of questions like why you call me sister… … and somehow we ended up talking about tastes. But it turns out we fit together better than I thought… … .”

“You asked me why I called you ‘noona’ and then moved on to talking about my tastes? That’s really interesting.”

“T-That’s really all! There’s nothing more to say! I was so nervous I don’t even remember what I said?!”

Unlike me, who had been blatantly lying about what had happened with the Succubus Queen, the chances of that being a lie were slim.

Unlike Diana, who had experienced all kinds of human situations while leading an independent group, and Trisha, who had become the owner of the largest gambling house in the empire, Kang Yu-na was not a great person who could lie in such a state of extreme fear.

“Okay, okay. I won’t ask any more. I think I know what kind of taste you have. Dildo on the wall—”

Swish, Kang Yu-na covered my mouth. Then she growled with a look of shame on her face.

“Do you really have to come all the way here to say something like that, Kang Yoo-seong… … ?”

“I just thought we had similar tastes. I didn’t mean to tease you, so don’t worry.”

He smiled and pulled his hand away. His face turned slightly pale as he was easily pushed back in the fight. It’s always been like this, so why is it happening now?

“I can guess even without you saying anything. My older sister is also a person whose hobby is reading erotic novels. She has been collecting them with her own money since she was very young, but her parents have caught her and scolded her more than once.”

The way she collected erotic novels was also extraordinary, as expected of the eldest daughter of the Crate family. She simply bought the entire section containing adult novels.

I would buy a whole bookshelf’s worth of books, take all the R-rated novels in the middle, take a decent amount of novels for all ages to use as smokescreens, and donate the rest, saying they weren’t fun. That was the end of it.

He kept doing that until the number of books he donated exceeded fifteen thousand, but he was caught. Anyway, he was a different person from the beginning.

“Okay. Thanks, you b*stard.”

“Don’t mention it.”

“Does that sound like a compliment?”

“Do you think that was a compliment?”

“… … .”

I smiled and brushed away the gaze that was glaring at me.

Anyway, I roughly understood what the situation was. I took her out of curiosity and unexpectedly, the codes fit well. It was a truly unexpected situation, but since they both had similar tastes, it wasn’t completely unacceptable.

“… … Hey. But, can I ask you one thing?”

“It doesn’t matter. Why are you trying to set the mood like that?”

“You… … Are you… all of the guild leaders… … that’s it?”

This is a bit of a tricky question.

I took a moment to choose the next answer. But it seemed that the fact that I was choosing an answer while smiling slyly up until now was enough of an answer for the other person.

“That’s right.”

“I won’t deny it.”

Actually, I wanted to say it outright, but I thought it would be too shocking, so I said it indirectly.

“Somehow I don’t feel like we’re just acquaintances… … If we were just colleagues, there’s no way we’d interfere with other people’s guilds. Yeah, somehow.”

Kang Yu-na continued talking nonsense for a while. I didn’t really have anything to say because I would have reacted the same way.

If I had a younger sister who had been possessed in another world and came back with seven men around her, I would have grabbed her by the scruff of the neck. I would have been purely shocked.

“Ha, shit… … You’re really good at it?”

“What… … It just so happened.”

The four possessed people healed each other’s pasts, Erestica’s maternal instincts developed after defeating Mahbat, and Nika was a succubus queen who had never been s*xually assaulted.

It was Aria’s plan to become friends with Leona from the beginning. But now that they’re on good terms, it doesn’t matter.

“… … Okay. If you have that kind of relationship with the guild leaders, then I guess it’s okay to tell them.”

Kang Yu-na, who had been rambling on and on for a while, carefully began to speak.

“You don’t mind telling me what?”

“Well, I heard something. I don’t know the exact details, but the drink you drank yesterday contained succubus pheromones.”

“Pheromone?”

“He asked me if I put it in properly so that it wouldn’t leak out. He said that if I used healing magic for no reason, you would notice. I heard it in passing, so I’m not sure if it’s accurate… … .”

That’s probably correct. The puzzle has come together in my head.

It didn’t seem like much to drink, but the reason I blacked out, the reason I did that while blacking out, and the reason everyone turned a blind eye to Nika kidnapping me in the middle of a birthday party.

“……aha.”

Was that all there was to it?

“Thank you, sis. I got some good information.”

“That’s what I said to the guild leaders—”

“I won’t, I won’t. Even if I knew, I wouldn’t let you touch a single hair on my sister, so don’t worry.”

I laughed lightly. Of course, I had no intention of saying anything.

Aside from that, I felt like we needed to talk a little bit.
