Morgan, You’re Not Acting Right!

"Parallel worlds? Of course I've heard of them."

Melusine nodded outright at this.

"What if, in a parallel world, you were a man?"

Lot continued questioning Melusine.

"A man? Are you saying that's the kind of relationship I have with Sir Lancelot?"

Hearing Lot's words, Melusine immediately grasped his meaning.

"From a certain perspective, yes, that's correct." Lot nodded again. "In another parallel world, you served under Morgan."

Upon hearing this, Morgan subconsciously puffed out her chest.

Hear that? In another world, you were my subordinate.

So why not make the same choice this time?

Come pledge yourself to me I'll grant you a fine position.

That was what Morgan thought to herself.

However, Melusine's gaze remained fixed on Lot, paying little attention to Morgan's expression.

After hearing Lot's words, she furrowed her brows and asked, "I've never heard of parallel worlds where the same person can be both male and female. Besides, parallel worlds fall into the domain of True Magic. If there were any crossing between worlds involving me and that knight Lancelot, I would surely have sensed it."

[Who said parallel worlds can't change genders? In this world, Artoria is a girl. But in another world, King Arthur was a bona fide man. Though your situation isn't quite the same as that parallel world's case.]

Beside them, Morgan was startled by Lot's thoughts.

You've already thought of two parallel worlds before.

What,

now there's a third?

So besides a sister, I even have a brother?

As a child, Morgan had often lamented having no siblings, feeling deeply lonely. But now? She was actually feeling overwhelmed by having too many younger siblings.

"As for the matter of parallel worlds…" Lot glanced at Melusine. "Do you have memories spanning over twenty years?"

"You mean…?"

Melusine paused to reflect, then her expression shifted slightly.

She realized that her memories from a few years ago were completely different from how things were now.

"People may influence one another across worlds."

Lot spoke meaningfully.

"I see."

With those words, Melusine immediately stood up.

"I'll go find Morgan now and see what's going on over there."

Having said that, she pushed open the door and walked out.

Watching Melusine leave, Morgan asked Lot, "Shouldn't we reveal my identity?"

"No need. I trust Fairy Morgan over there will make the right choice."

Lot replied to Morgan.

[Besides, even in the Lostbelt, Melusine wasn't truly loyal to Morgan. So in this situation, it's better to be cautious.]

"Mm, I understand."

Morgan nodded in agreement, having heard both Lot's spoken words and his internal explanation.

Then, she said to Lot, "Well then, let Fairy Morgan deal with Melusine's matter. For now, we should focus on how to incite infighting among the fairies."

As the two spoke, Kaa of the Earth Clan entered.

"Alright, I've finished the house. Lady Melusine, and you two fairies, you can move in now. It may not be luxurious, but I've made it as refined as possible."

Upon entering, he noticed only Lot and Morgan were present and asked in confusion, "Why are there only two of you here? Where's Lady Melusine?"

"Oh, her? She's already left."

Morgan replied offhandedly.

"Huh!? She left? That brat how dare she waste my goodwill!"

Kaa clenched his fists, seemingly expressing his displeasure.

However, at that moment, a small figure appeared at the door again.

"Hm?"

Melusine tilted her head, looking at Kaa.

Kaa's angry expression froze instantly.

Cold sweat dripped down his back.

But Melusine paid him no mind, instead earnestly asking Lot, "After I finish my business, I'll come back for you. Can you leave me a way to contact you before you leave?"

"Of course."

Lot agreed without hesitation.

Satisfied with the answer, Melusine nodded and turned to leave once more.

From start to finish, she never spared Kaa a single glance.

Only after Melusine had vanished did Kaa finally exhale in relief.

Then,

he turned to Lot, his expression growing even fiercer.

Clenching his fists tightly, he shouted, "Listen here, you two fairies! If you think you can just "

Kaa's words abruptly cut off.

Because, at that moment, Lot was smiling as he gripped an iron hammer, effortlessly molding the rectangular head into the shape of an axe.

"...It would be my honor, Kaa's honor."

Beads of sweat reappeared on Kaa's forehead.

This level of strength might not rival Melusine's, but it was still far beyond what he could handle.

In an instant, his demeanor shifted to groveling servility.

Seeing this, Morgan smiled and said, "Then let's go see our new house."

"R-Right away!"

Kaa hurriedly led Lot and Morgan to the residence.

Along the way, Morgan asked Kaa curiously, "By the way, you Earth Clan fairies really are skilled at building houses, aren't you?"

"Of course! Every one of us Earth Clan fairies is a master architect!"

Puffed up by the praise, Kaa boasted further, "And lately, I've been building new houses nonstop. These humans who've arrived all rely on us Earth Clan fairies to construct their homes!"

As he spoke, the group arrived at a small, exquisitely crafted house.

"Here, this is your place. Alright, I'll take my leave now."

Kaa pointed at the house and turned to go.

But just as he was about to leave, Morgan tilted her head and mused aloud, "Still, it's for the best. After all, we fairies need these humans. Your work lets them settle down peacefully, making them easier to use for our purposes later."

"Huh? What are you talking about? Aren't we just taking in refugees?"

Kaa frowned at Morgan's words.
