Side Story: Another World – 8
When the portal closed and only the Pope and I were left, I first unlocked the door latch I had previously locked. With the portal closed, there was no need to keep it locked anymore.
“Why do you seem so surprised, Juwon?”
“No, it’s just… you guys’ hair turning black is fascinating.”
“Hehe. It must seem intriguing since this is your first time seeing us like this.”
Seeing Floretta, who isn’t blonde with green eyes, and Luna, who isn’t silver-haired with purple eyes, was indeed fascinating. Floretta and Luna, with their ebony hair swaying, blinked their pitch-black eyes and smiled at me.
Delicate fingers adjusted the outfit. A white turtleneck that had rolled up to slightly expose the abdomen was pulled down to the area near the pelvic bone. Ankle was slightly revealed beneath the skinny jeans.
Just like Lize, they covered all essential parts, yet their bodies were the very essence of lewdness.
Well, with that figure, no matter what they wore, it couldn’t help but be provocative unless they wrapped it all up in padding. The bodies of the women from Eclipse all derived from the goddess.
“Can you handle it?”
“Yes, Juwon. Don’t worry. I was watching everything that Lize did.”
The Pope smiled brightly. It was clear that our every action, as evident from how the portal opened the moment I entered the room, was under magical surveillance.
Lize was also aware of this situation. To reduce the sense of ‘uneasiness’ most efficiently, one had to minimize situations where the goddess would intervene.
To put it drastically, if Eclipse’s power was there, going around wreaking havoc with magic and sacred spells wouldn’t be a problem. Why hide it when you can touch their concepts and memories to change perceptions?
‘But that feels uneasy.’
At least, I wanted to keep actions that directly tampered with people’s perception and memory to the bare minimum. Just enough to keep them from realizing that other dimensions and worlds exist.
“By the way, Juwon. Won’t your mother and sister need a lot of time to finish cooking?”
“Uh… probably, yeah?”
Thinking about the expression my mom had, she seemed genuinely determined to serve, so even if she finished quickly, it would take at least an hour.
“Well, during that time, do you not think about practicing scenarios where a ‘girlfriend’ and ‘boyfriend’ are left alone together?”
The Pope emphasized the words girlfriend and boyfriend as she snuggled into my arms. Since I could 100% predict Floretta and Luna would do this, I wasn’t really surprised.
“I don’t mind doing that, but don’t think it’ll go further than that. No insertion.”
“Are you saying that? It’s not enough for either you or me to heat up with just one hour. You just need to… enjoy our services.”
Floretta and Luna smiled seductively and sat me down in a chair. They spread their legs and climbed on top of me, pressing their hips closely. As our lips met, their tongues pushed inside my mouth.
‘Not enough time to heat up, huh?’
I couldn’t help but chuckle. Every time I dealt with the Popes, I felt like it was a blessing in disguise that Eclipse had made me stronger while also causing slips on their part.
After a long exchange of breaths and saliva, Floretta and Luna broke the kiss. They knelt between my legs and looked up at me while their white front teeth nibbled at my zipper.
The Pope’s head, which was pressed so closely against my lower half, remained there until another voice was heard from outside the door.
“Hey! Dinner’s r—oh, um…”
The voice of my sister, who was knocking fiercely, got progressively softer. It seemed she realized there was someone else inside only after causing a scene.
While being stroked and pressed deep against my lower half, the Pope slowly lifted her head.
“Got it. I’ll come down.”
“… Hurry up.”
Once my sister disappeared, Floretta and Luna, using divine power, stood up and cleaned themselves. I magically changed the skinny jeans the Pope was wearing. It was a wreck down there.
The Pope rubbed her belly and smiled again sensually.
“I feel full even though I haven’t eaten yet.”
“….”
I went down the stairs, listening to what could be interpreted as a non-joking remark. From midway down, the smell of various meats wafted through. The Pope, who had been tightly clinging to me with a satisfied expression, spoke.
“You have a wonderful mother, don’t you?”
“Probably because of you guys, she’s cooking even more intensely this time. No, wait. In terms of proportions, it’s me 10 and you guys 90. She really seemed to like Lize.”
Lize just answered in her true personality without any pretense, but for my mom, who had always sung about wanting a proper girlfriend, the appearance of a girl who perfectly matched her ideal was like a direct hit on her preferences.
My sister was not the least bit polite and was far from being affectionate toward mom; dad was stoic, and I inherited that trait from him.
So for mom, who had some illusions in that direction, a girlfriend who fulfilled that fantasy had appeared. It was no wonder she reacted that way.
“Then I must step up my game too.”
The Pope suddenly ignited competition and followed me into the kitchen. Mom was greeting us with a mountainous array of dishes, so many that I feared some might roll off the edges.
“I’ve prepared nothing special, but please eat a lot, Young Lady.”
It was a perfect feast of meat dishes with not a single leaf of vegetable in sight. My sister, who used to love meat and had a similar taste to mine, even looked slightly sickened.
A few pieces of kimchi placed next to dad’s rice bowl looked incredibly forlorn.
“I’m at a loss for words regarding your hospitality. Thank you, Mother.”
“Well… of course.”
When the Pope thanked Mom with a bright smile, her voice wavered momentarily. She seemed to feel some ‘uneasiness,’ but that feeling quickly disappeared as if cleaned away.
Floretta and Luna had perfectly embodied Mom’s expectations.
“Try this too. Mother, Father. Come on, Young Lady too.”
“Wow… thank you.”
They took care of my parents and sister right from the start.
“Here, Juwon. This too. Ah….”
“Oh my, my, my… Yujin, look at that!”
“Ah! Why are you hitting me when they’re doing that?! Ah, wait! That really hurts! Mom!”
Displaying affection that would give anyone goosebumps.
“Young Lady, you eat so neatly, don’t you?”
“You know, eating well is part of being polite towards the meal.”
“My goodness….”
Demonstrating perfect behavior while finishing the meal without a single mess.
By the end of the meal, Mom was so focused on the Pope that she completely ignored me, and Floretta and Luna perfectly absorbed all of Mom’s attention.
Their effort rolled in like a massive snowball. Naturally, my mom had already fallen for them, and even Dad seemed quite fond of my girlfriend.
During their first meeting, it was plain they hadn’t directly spoken, but Mom and Dad had called me aside to stress, “Don’t let her go.”
‘Calling me aside is pointless.’
Floretta and Luna had naturally eavesdropped on that. What kind of reaction could it elicit?
“Young Lady, please have some of this.”
“Th-thank you. Sister.”
My sister, hardly able to spit on a smiling face, was crawling toward the Pope.
‘That’s surprising.’
How could that rude girl act like that?
Of course, her character didn’t vanish; she secretly gave me the middle finger or cursed under her breath, but I simply ended our banter with a gesture pointing at the Pope’s chest.
My sister gritted her teeth every time she saw the Pope’s noticeably impressive chest even through the white turtleneck. That was all she could do.
“Although it may not be polite to serve alcohol to a lady on her first visit…”
Thanks to Floretta and Luna’s efforts, Mom, who had a massive grin on her face, suddenly headed somewhere. She returned with several bottles of premium liquor that were easily recognizable just by name from the cabinet.
Since the Pope had no idea what those drinks were, I transmitted the thought to them to react appropriately to the high-quality booze.
“How about a drink?”
‘Well, it’s over now.’
I thought that now that alcohol had been served, this would soon come to an end, and what followed flowed exactly according to my predictions. As the two Popes had no tolerance, Mom and Dad got tipsy first.
Due to their physical abilities, the people from the Eclipse world could handle their drinks. Among them, Claudia’s capacity was absurd.
“Ahhhh… I also want bigger breasts… bigger… like my sister-in-law, real, really huge breasts…”
“Is she out of her mind? I’m sorry, Young Lady. Could you wait just a moment? I’ll lay her down in the room.”
My sister had cried, saying she wanted big breasts after drinking just a few glasses, and Mom had to take her to the room, while Dad had already passed out cold on the sofa.
Mom returned shortly but didn’t seem to have her wits about her. She kept saying she shouldn’t drink more, but she couldn’t refuse the Pope’s offering.
Eventually, with Mom also drunk and in a state of oblivion, I exchanged glances with the Pope. Both of us had something to do, so we got up and returned to the room, closing the door behind us.
“Is it time to switch?”
“It should be. A lot of time has passed.”
The meal that had undoubtedly started at lunch was now dark outside.
“Thanks for your hard work, Floretta, Luna. Mom really seemed to like you.”
“I only conveyed my sincerity. My true desire to be with you.”
I pulled her closer and kissed her. The Pope skillfully intertwined her tongue with mine. Even after drinking for a while, I could smell no alcohol at all.
As we shared our kiss, a blue circle appeared next to us.
“It would be a lie to say I’m not disappointed, but… the opportunity will come again.”
“That’s right. Lots will come in the future.”
The Pope nodded obediently, placing her hands in front of her chest. Floretta, who had been lying on the bed, rose up, and Luna’s hair and eye color returned to normal. Her body moved towards the blue circle.
“But, is there something for me to do in this situation? The Pope must have nearly finished.”
“There is. I need to leave a good impression on Mom. Now is the perfect timing.”
The next person to join wasn’t Aurora, but Kaiquilia.
The reason was simple. Given Kaiquilia’s character trait, she wouldn’t be able to perfect everything as well as the Pope. So I intentionally brought her here now, aiming to exploit the gaps in Mom’s judgment.
Kaiquilia seemed offended by her pride and insisted she could do it too, but when I told her to give it a try, she fell silent after a few attempts.
Even now, after stepping down from the Emperor’s throne, her manner of speaking hadn’t changed, and could such a person suddenly behave like a Pope overnight? Absolutely not.
‘… The Popes might be peculiar, to be honest?’
Thinking about it, the Popes must have lived a life quite distant from such behaviors.
“Her, here… have another drink…”
“Our Young Lady seems a bit more refined…?”
“Juwon, you should… receive it.”
“Got it. Thanks.”
Perhaps because she wasn’t used to this kind of thing, Kaiquilia acted quite stiffly. Fortunately, due to the Pope’s plot, Mom barely kept her consciousness intact, so she felt no uneasiness at all.
Eventually, Mom couldn’t hold on for long and passed out. I used magic to take both Mom and Dad to their room. Now that there were no prying eyes, there were no concerns.
I openly used magic to clean up the mess that had become the kitchen and table. I planned to say my girlfriend did it later.
“Is it all wrapped up now?”
“Yes. Let’s head back to the room. Well, not that anything was accomplished.”
“… It wasn’t that we didn’t do anything; we couldn’t.”
Kaiquilia grumbled back in her original tone. I also switched to using polite speech. The reason I talked formally instead of informally this time was for a specific reason.
‘I want to use informal speech only in bed.’
It was Kaiquilia’s request. The thrilling moment when the subject of informal and formal speech switched while on the bed was apparently exhilarating.
She’d once mentioned that hearing informal speech while responding formally made her head spin and stars danced before her eyes, so I decided to accept that. Everyone has at least one peculiar quirk.
I can completely understand that.
“… Ah?”
While returning to the room, listening to Kaiquilia’s complaints about not having done anything, I encountered my sister stumbling out, still slightly intoxicated.
“… What are you doing here? Not going out?”
She frowned the moment she saw me. From the way she spoke, it seemed she was still drunk.
“This isn’t your room. If you’re still drunk, go inside and sleep.”
“I was going to get water and go back to sleep even without your prying nonsense…”
Her eyes narrowed harshly before shifting sideways. That was toward Kaiquilia.
“Sister-in-law. I don’t know what you’re smitten with, but that jerk’s just a complete bad guy. You’ll definitely regret it later!”
“Just you wait and see. I’ll see whether I regret it or not.”
My sister seemed at a loss for words, staring blankly at Kaiquilia before turning around, teetering down the stairs.
“Geez, damn. She’s got big breasts and a nice personality… so jealous, damn it….”
Still feeling the effects of alcohol, she let out a complaint that she would normally never say.
“….”
Hearing that complaint, I thought for a moment. This could be a real opportunity to manipulate her for life.
“Hey, Yujin!”
“… What now?”
My sister turned around, irritated.
“Do you want bigger breasts?”
“You crazy jerk? Are you harassing your younger sister now? I’m going to tell Mom right away—”
“I can make them grow if you want. I actually have a way.”
Straightening up, my sister stopped mid-sentence.
“… What do I trust you for?”
“Trust? Look, right next to you is clear evidence, can’t you see it?”
I pointed at Kaiquilia’s chest, which was wrapped in a turtleneck. Though smaller than Liz or the Pope’s, it was still comparable in size to her head.
In the Eclipse world, it could be seen as slightly larger than average, but in my world, it wouldn’t be unusual to call that size busty. My sister’s eyes trembled when she saw it.
“Ugh….”
I ignored the faint sound escaping her lips.
“… Really?”
Normally, she would have immediately run to tell Mom, but being half-asleep and slightly drunk made rational judgment impossible.
As she asked me if it was true, I gave her a subtle smile and nodded.
You’re done for.
