Chapter 281: Introductions
—–
The next morning, as Ervas and Veronica woke up from their sleep, they gathered around the castle’s table with their close friends and family to have breakfast.
Of course, there was a new companion in here now.
Although it would have been less shocking if she had taken into a more monster-like form, so the people would think that it was just a new summoned monster and be done with it.
But it was not just an amazing shapeshifter, even better than Nyarlathotep, but it also possessed a great, almost overwhelming Aura, a mischievous smile, tremendous and striking beauty, weird powers, and she was also incredibly intelligent for a summoned creature, who often had very primitive minds!
“So… Ervas… Veronica… Will, you present us this woman at your side?” asked Ismene while munching into a sandwich.
“Who is she and why is she so close with my lords?!” asked Lilith enraged.
“M-My son… Ervas… W-Who is this… l-lady?” asked Jason while swallowing saliva.
“Damn, she’s a beauty…” said Riaan.
“Just who… is she?! She looks like some kind of demon…” said Mysticia.
“Gubo… She looks like she wants to eat me…” said Aqua.
The crowd within the table all pointed to this woman, a beautiful fairy woman with incredibly alluring proportions, silky purple hair, two horns at each side of her head, bewitching crimson eyes, beautiful butterfly wings at her back, and a very enchanting smile. All coupled with a vampiric feeling that made some oddly intrigued in her origins.
She was sitting cross-legged in the middle between Ervas and Veronica at the table, eating a hamburger and enjoying a beer in the morning.
“Something I have to admit is that she drinks like a Queen!” said Leonidas.
“She really drinks more than all of us combined…” said Ragdaz.
“Who are you, lady?” asked Goliath.
Ervas and Veronica kept eating nervously as cold sweat began to drip through their necks… although Veronica was only metaphorically sweating.
They slowly moved their heads upwards, giving their group a bitter smile.
The fairy between the two only ate peacefully, ignoring the questions of everyone, as she wanted the two to answer the people instead.
Ervas and Veronica never expected that Kireina would go around in such a form, which made everyone always stare at her profoundly, no matter who they were nor what gender they were…
Even if she didn’t even have her Charm Skill as she said, her ‘true form’ was very eye-catching!
“Sigh…”
Ervas and Veronica sigh, as they prepare.
Both of them raise their arms, pointing at Kireina as she smiles at the crowd.
“She’s an otherworldly visitor…” said Ervas.
“Her name is Kireina, and she was summoned by Ervas!” said Veronica.
“She comes from another world, named Genesis, long story short, she is a reincarnated person like us…” said Ervas.
“But she is not from our Earth but a parallel Earth!” said Veronica.
“This form is a mere clone of her original form…” said Ervas.
“And she has most of her powers sealed, which are slowly being unsealed!” said Veronica.
“As a new member of our Kingdom and as a valuable ally from another world…” said Ervas.
“Please, be nice to her!” said Veronica.
“It is nice to meet all of you, Ervas and Veronica talked to me a lot about all of you…” said Kireina with a gentle and motherly smile, the men that glanced at her smile had their hearts racing, and even the women felt kind of strange…!
“Kireina, could you lower down your charm?” asked Ervas.
“Didn’t you said you don’t have a Charm Skill?” asked Veronica.
“I really don’t have any, this is just me…” said Kireina.
“Well, let me do something…” said Kireina, as she poured a pink-colored essence from her own fingers, covering her body.
Suddenly, the impact that her form made on others was slightly lessened…
“Is that?” asked Ervas.
“Illusion Attribute Magic, something from my homeworld… I might help both of you to learn it, I have a way to insert affinity directly into your souls…” said Kireina.
“Oh?!” asked Veronica in excitement.
“A-Anyways, are you all fine now?” asked Ervas.
“Y-Yeah… S-So she’s Kireina, her name, I mean…” said Jason.
“Indeed, Jason, is it? It is nice to meet you!” said Kireina.
“Oh, it is nice to meet you as well, Kireina… Cthulhu and the rest are from other worlds too, but they don’t speak and feel like pets… So it is a bit different when we talk with someone with a higher intelligence from another world, it is all a bit baffling…” said Jason.
“Yeah, and you’re so strange too…” said Anna.
“Indeed, you’re quite the bizarre fairy…” said Ismene.
“Strange and bizarre? What do you mean?” asked Kireina.
“W-What with that dress?! It’s super sexy!” said Anna.
“Y-Yeah, wear something less revealing!” said Ismene.
“Oh… Although both of you are wearing pretty sexy pieces of clothes though…” said Kireina.
“We don’t count on this!” said Anna.
“Y-Yeah… This is… our Tribe’s custom!” said Ismene.
“And why must I have to wear something different…?” asked Kireina.
“W-Well…” muttered Anna.
“Err…” muttered Ismene.
“Could you two be nice with her? She just came from another world…” said Ervas.
“Yeah, please be tolerant…” said Veronica.
“Sigh… Never mind, we might have been a bit too rude…” said Ismene.
“Y-Yeah, we apologize…” said Anna.
“Fufu, no need to apologize, I cannot get angry with such beautiful women,” said Kireina with a wink, which made Anna and Ismene flush for a bit.
“Please don’t do that again…” said Ervas.
“Please… Please… Please…” said Veronica.
“Okay, okay! I am just doing a little teasing, I will stop…” said Kireina.
“Anyways, I am Anna, I am like the main blacksmith of the whole Kingdom, nice to meet you, Kireina,” said Anna with a smile.
“And I am the chief of the Squirrel-kin tribe… Well, I am also quite a good magician myself. Although the Tribe is now part of the Kingdom, I still do various duties as a chieftain,” said Ismene.
“Oh! I see, you two seem like quite the hard workers, your tribe must be prideful of you,” said Kireina.
“Well, kind of,” said Anna while shrugging.
“What are you talking about, Anna? You’re the most recognized blacksmith in the entire kingdom!” said Veronica.
“A-Ah, Veronica, don’t praise me in front of everyone…” said Anna with embarrassment.
“(Oh? Is there something going on between the two in here? Interesting… I want to see where this develop… How cute…)” thought Kireina.
“Well, should we present ourselves?” wondered Shade.
“I don’t know if she can see us…” said Gaia.
“I can see you both, hello there. I know who you two are! Shade and Gaia, right?” asked Kireina.
“A-Ah! Y-Yes, I am Shade! And I am Veronica’s Light Attribute Spirit,” said Shade.
“And I am Gaia, Ervas’ Life Attribute Spirit!” said Gaia.
“I see, so cute… You two are like tiny plushies…” said Kireina.
“P-Plushies?!” asked Shade.
“Uwah, don’t rub me Kireina…” said Gaia.
Kireina began to pet Gaia, as everyone glanced at her for a bit… until they realized that something very weird was happening.
“W-Wait a second, isn’t Shade and Gaia ethereal?! How can Kireina touch her?” asked Ismene.
“…Eh?” asked Ervas.
“Huh?” asked Veronica.
“Hm? Oh? Is that a thing in here…? I really did not know… Well, through my Materialization, I can touch both of them. Maybe because I am from another world?” asked Kireina.
“T-That’s… might be true…” said Veronica.
“Wait, could there be a way for you to give us a body?!” asked Shade.
“Hm? A body… I don’t think I can… yet. Maybe if I unlock more of my powers,” said Kireina.
“Ooh! That would be so nice!” said Gaia.
“Well, don’t get your hopes too high, I am not entirely sure, though I have a general idea in how I could do that,” said Kireina.
“She’s clearly a Goddess, huh?” asked Ervas.
“Indeed, we have a lot to learn from her…” said Veronica.
“Ah, don’t worry, I am not taking any spotlight though, I am fairly weaker compared to you two, so I am the supporting character!” said Kireina.
“You’re still quite overpowered for a supporting character!” said Veronica.
“Teehee~,” said Kireina.
“What with that teehee?” asked Ervas.
“Oops, did it sound cringe? I wanted to lighten the mood! All of you are all so serious! I feel like you are about to tell me that we live in a society or something… Cheer up! Let’s make a feast to celebrate my summoning in this world!” said Kireina.
“A feast?!” asked Veronica.
“…Sounds good, I understand her feelings, I don’t want everyone to get overly serious… Let’s get along with Kireina through a small festivity in the entire Kingdom, we can present her to everyone in there too,” said Ervas.
“Oooh! Sounds good! Alright!” said Veronica.
“Nice! Let’s do it! I always do big feasts in my Empire when we get to celebrate something important!” said Kireina, suddenly changing her clothes into those of a Brazilian carnival, filled with colorful feathers and ornaments!
“Let’s do it~!” she said.
Kireina was certainly more loosen in this world, perhaps because her own Clone wanted to be different than her main body.
As the day went by, a large festivity was held in the Kingdom, where Kireina was presented to almost every citizen, and it lasted until extremely late, where most people were already quite used to Kireina and had gotten a general idea of her character.
Although to Ervas and Veronica, she was still filled with many mysteries.

Phew… Everything ended quite well, I am glad.
I didn’t want to give a bad impression, so I tried to be as cheerful and open as possible.
I am trying to become a bit different than the main body, you know?
After all, I am a clone, a new living being, so I want to differentiate myself a bit.
So now, I try to be more cheerful and even more charismatic, perhaps because I don’t have my Charm Skill to back me up anymore?
I don’t know exactly, but things are turning into a new leaf in here…
Well, this is an entirely new world with entirely new people, so I hope to fit in fine…
Hm, many things are approaching here, many threats will begin to chase Ervas and Veronica… and most likely be as well.
I have to do everything I can to assist them.
But man, it will be hard to tell them the whole Otherworldly Invader Title effect…
Veronica and Ervas seem already a bit annoyed by my presence sometimes, so will they get even angrier?
Oof…
Ah, it’s not like I fear them or something…
Not at all, don’t get me wrong there, bud…
I fear no person here.
But still, I don’t want them to get angry…
Ugh. Uagh. Wargh.
Maybe if I say it after helping them out in something, it won’t make them THAT angry…
Though I have to do this soon, I don’t want them to have any surprises…
