Since the day this she-devil made herself known to me, nay, even before that, I had always been made to play to her whims. Her slyness made her unpredictable. The only constant was that when she winked, someone was going to get scammed.

Now, this scheming she-devil said she wanted to replenish herself. With what? Souls? But I did not want to start a massacre, that was my red line.

I never condoned killing people, not good people, anway.

That was something I made abundantly clear, right now, before she could even make any unreasonable demands of me.

“No killing, no killing. We are good people, after all. Why would we kill people?”

Hmph.

That was all the response she was getting. She knew I wasn’t going to bite this time, thus she changed tact entirely.

“Ah, but little brother, do you know how much your big sis has suffered all for your safety? Do you know how hard it is to pierce through that tiny crack in the dimensional barriers? I bet you do not, all you know is to faint. Faint. And faint. What else are you even good for…”

Well, it’s not like my uselessness is anything new, my dear big sis.

Hmph.

Same as before. However, I had to admit that I was a little caught off-guard by her airing her grievances like that. And her grievances weren’t without merit.

BUT! It’s not like she wasn’t trying to stir up a storm. I knew her better than anyone else -that was the kind of devil she was.

In fact, me fainting probably helped her… seeing as she couldn’t actually beat me in a battle for control over my body. If it wasn’t for that, I would be relegated to being a mere spectator in my own body by now.

Just like… Hold on… why is my pee pee missing again?

Don’t tell me just because I was in a different world, I was a man, but now that I’m back in this world, my little elephant trunk is gone?

That can’t be right, I’ve never heard of a dimensional rift performing a gender swap.

It must be Ferti’nier’s doing!

All right, come clean.

This time, I was very clear I wasn’t going anywhere till I got my answers,

“Well… the truth is… your big sis just repossessed your little toy, that’s all.”

Repossessed? So it was her!

Why?

“Because you happened to meet a human prince when you fell down from that tree.”

Huh? Speak clearly.

“If you had encountered a princess instead, your big sis would have left it there. Get it?”

Get… it… so you’re playing to his tastes…

Basically… this was the gist of my current situation.

Because of Karlston’s spell, the dimensional barriers tore open, and I was exiled to the void between dimensions.

Being a demigod living within the Chaos Crystal, she was able to survive this dimensional travel. That was also how she managed to transport me safe and sound, twice, without preparation, as she penetrated…

Thus, she brought me back to the Western Human Realms.

In her own words, the situation was so abrupt that she couldn’t find the opportunity to drag Karlston down with us.

My first entry into the Western Human Realms was what the dear prince remembered…

As for their warm welcome, that was just par for the course for a lust demon.

Initially, Ferti’nier did not retract my pee pee, keeping it in its complete state. The tipping point was when the Prince mistook me for a girl, and with that in mind, had his maid, Doris, give me a bath…

It was at that exact moment that I became a “girl”… apparently that was to better make use of my natural advantages.

How absolutely kind of her…

But there wasn’t much choice except to take her words, for now…

So that’s why Prince Sersan looked at me with such pity… because Ferti’nier had my pee pee taken away, thus I really did not have anything down there… To Doris, I couldn’t be any more of a woman… and she dutifully told Sersan. It all makes sense now.

I guess this is for my self-protection again…

I swear… sometimes it feels like things are proceeding so fast I can’t keep up… like a speeding train… choo choo…

And is it really all right for me to be travelling through worlds like this?

The situation in Southern Plains hasn’t been resolved yet and I’m already back here… I’m happy about it, but I have people I care about over there…

“Don’t worry, that side will be fine for now. Even though Karlston isn’t completely dead, he shouldn’t have the ability to stir up more trouble. We should handle our current situation first.”

What do you mean?

“Little brother, don’t tell me you wish to stay here forever? To become his consort? Your big sis doesn’t mind helping you. It’s just making a hole, after all…”

No thank you! I’m still a man, so I’ll have to pass on being a consort.

But if what you’ve said is true, and Karlston isn’t an issue for now, then I guess the first priority would be to search for my companions.

My daughter should still be in Purgatory. But Nicole’s situation is a little special… Looking for her would be problematic, however, yet I can’t just give up either.

Hmm… I wouldn’t mind dropping by Plateau Village if things turn out well. Ancarin, Regine, and their daughters are all there…

And Jezsere too. I wonder if our resident tsundere, Aishael, has finished building up her settlement. Or that fanatical Zurnalin who is always out to bear my child, is she okay?

Since I have Ferti’nier’s help this time, I might even be able to take some time off to visit Abaddon to find Numilia and the others…

There’s really so much to do, huh.

“One step at a time. One step at a time. Before all that, however, let’s talk about your big sis.”

You? What’s up?

“Your big sis is hungry.”

What do you mean “hungry”? Haven’t I been feeding you always?

All those “points”… all that faith, where did you stash them all?

“Into the void, of course. You really think traversing the void is so simple? Those are two separate worlds!”

“Honorable Andassis the Seventh…”

“Please, my fair lady…” The man interrupted me before I could continue. “There’s no need to stand on ceremony here, you may call me Kasinsan, that is my name. It is my wish that we interact more as friends, let not such petty things as social standing come between us.”

He kept going on without a care, finally ending with a smile and a wink… I won’t lie… that was a very charming smile, and probably would have won over any girl, but I’m not one…

“…”

Really… I’m at a loss for words right now. But he’s still my savior, after a fashion. Even if I’m not planning to repay him, I shouldn’t go overboard either.

But he’s really getting on my nerves… he’s just so pushy… so pompous… Anyway, there’s just so many parts about him I want to criticize.

“Right, my fair lady, may I have the honor of knowing your name? I believe a steadfast friendship begins with an introduction.”

I knew he had completely mistaken my gender, that couldn’t be more obvious at this point. Yet I could have just kept quiet, arguably that would be more advantageous to me, but I decided to speak up. “Actually… I’m not a girl at all, there’s been a mistake here…”

“…”

For the briefest of moments, I could see a hint of pity flash across the prince’s eyes. The king, however, chuckled, but even that was quickly hidden so as not to offend.

“My lady, you jest.” The king straightened his face. “We are all good men here, no one will try to harm you.”

“That’s not what I mean… I just…”

He probably thought I was hiding my gender to protect myself… but I really was just a man…

“Father, perhaps it would be better if we leave the lady to rest now. She just awoke from a spell of dizziness, feeling wary is only to be expected. I feel a little time for everyone would be best, we can reconvene again when she’s calmer.”

“Hmm, then we will continue tomorrow morning.” The king nodded my way before turning around to leave. However, he only took a couple of steps when he turned around and said, “This is my palace, you may rest easy and recuperate.”

“Yes, no one here will hurt you. I promise, my lady.” The prince basically said something in the same vein as his father before leaving as well.

The remaining followers all did a cursory round of introductions before bidding farewell not long after.

The heck was that? What’s with those strange looks they gave me? They clearly thought I was out of it, and do I really look so pitiful?

And he didn’t even give me time to explain myself fully… Bah…

Yet just when I thought it was all over, the prince stopped at the doorway, turned around, then said with longing in his voice, “Doris, I’ll leave her care in your hands, I will return tomorrow.”

“Yes, Your Highness.” The lady who I first encountered when I woke up curtsied in response.

Now that my visitors were well and truly gone, Doris, the maidservant, turned to face me. “Milady, is there anything Doris can help you with?”

“Nothing, for now.” I subconsciously reached to scratch my hair in frustration.

“Milady has been unconscious for a day, perhaps Doris can get some refreshments?”

“No, I’m fine.” I shook my head firmly. “I’m not hungry.”

“But milady hasn’t eaten for so long…”

“I’m not hungry, thank you. I just wish to be alone right now.”

“Milady, are you alright?”

More like am I sane… Of course, I am.

“I’m fine, you may leave.”

“In that case, Doris will take her leave… may you have a good rest.”

Under my withering gaze, even Doris knew that her continued presence would only serve to worsen my mood, thus she left without a fuss.

A short while later…

Doris came into the room once more bearing a platter of fruits and desserts, except she was decidedly stealthy about it… and that was when she saw it…

I was currently in the midst of inspecting my body… inspecting, in the literal sense of the word… Thankfully, I hadn’t taken off my pants yet…

“My–apologies! I forgot to knock…” In a panicked flurry, she slammed the platter of fruits down onto the nearest table, then without even looking, fled without ever closing the door…

“My–apologies! I forgot to close the door…”

Then with an equally loud bang, she slammed the door shut… I guess she did close the door…

But more importantly… I really was just inspecting my body… And even more important than that… why is it missing?!

Ferti’nier!!

Get out here this instant!

Why is my pee pee missing again? I demand an explanation! Do you know how much grief this is causing me, as a man. I’m better off dead, if I have to live life without it!

“Yahoo~~ Little brother, I see you’re awake, at last. And here your big sis was, thinking she could get a few more winks of sleep.”

As always, her silky smooth voice echoed melodically in my head. Caressed in its warm embrace, it was akin to bathing in the warmest of hot springs in the coldest of winters. Thank the stars… she’s still here…

“As if. Do you know how much your big sis had to suffer just to get us all back here?”

Hmm? Are you okay?

“At least you have the decency to ask. Don’t worry, your big sis is fine, just a little weakened. A round of nourishment and your big sis will be right as rain.”

The moment I heard her say that, I immediately went on high alert. Knowing what kind of devil she was, that was just a precursor to her demands.

An unknown ceiling…

An ornately decorated room, a bed lined with the softest of pillows, attended to by a beautiful maidservant…

I could feel the air brimming with pure magical energies…

I’m no longer in Gaia, I take it… After all, Gaia doesn’t have this sort of decor.

So, where am I then?

What happened after Karlston fired off his forbidden spell?

Even though I couldn’t be sure if this was the case, but I vaguely remembered Ferti’nier mentioning that she had a marker set in the Western Human Realms.

The Western Human Realms? But what about Karlston? He doesn’t seem to be the type of villain to just croak from a simple spell. Is he still in Southern Plains? Or has he returned to the Western Human Realms as well?

“Milady, you’ve awoken? I will inform His Highness, right away.” Just as I began mulling over the multitudes of questions I had, the maidservant before me greeted me with a jovial smile. “I’m sure His Highness would be delighted by the news of your awakening.”

Having said that, she left before I could even respond.

However, she did not leave for long before the sounds of an argument filled my ears from outside my door.

Said door wasn’t soundproof. An odd choice, but probably deliberate, given there was magic to set a room’s soundproofing from soundproof to non-soundproof.

Naturally, the twenty-odd year old maidservant was privy to that argument. She turned around and gave me a cheeky wink. “Don’t worry, it will be over soon.”

From the sound of things, such an occurrence wasn’t rare, and it often took place outside a door; she seemed more than accustomed to chuckling at the heated argument.

“Father, I’m already 25, I know what I’m doing! She is my future Queen! I know it!” A youthful voice shouted.

“I will never acknowledge some strange woman from god-knows-where!” A stern voice replied.

“She’s not some unknown woman, I’ve made sure to have her checked, I checked everything…”

“Oh? And what was the result?”

“She must be an angel!”

“My child, perhaps Bishop Rokla should have a look at you, have you been under a great deal of stress recently… Perhaps I’ve been too harsh on you…”

“I’m fine, father! She is an angel, I saw her fall from the heavens!”

“I heard she fell from a tree.”

“She fell from the heavens first, then fell from a tree.”

That logic… you just can’t win…

“Fine, fine, your father doesn’t wish to argue with you on this matter. But you have to know, not every girl who falls from a tree is an angel.”

“But she’s so beautiful, and I’ve already used her likeness to search the entire realm, there’s nothing to suggest she even exists. Father, do you know what that means? She’s not of our kingdom, perhaps not even of our world! She is an angel, my angel…”

“Oh… my child, are you sure you’re alright? I think you’ve been a little under the weather recently.”

“No, I’m fine, father.”

“Regardless, I need to have a look at this girl, first… You’re my only heir, your candidate for Queen must never be chosen so haphazardly!”

“I know what you’re planning, father. But I do not want to marry the daughter of some prominent noble. They are just so fake, they give me goosebumps.”

“Barbara has the blood of the imperial family in her. Not only that, she is perfect in every other way, you should reconsider. Rather than devote your attention to some unknown woman. I don’t even know what she looks like. How do you know she’s not some spy from another country?”

“How could she be a spy?! She’s too beautiful for that! Father, you’re reading too much into this, I’m sure you will agree with me once you’ve seen her. I guarantee it!”

“I just hope so…”

Following those few minutes of heated debating, the door finally opened.
A group of three men and two women stepped through the doorway. Their elegant gait spoke of their long hours of practise, giving each an aura of nobility. The two men at the head were clearly influential, based on their exquisite finery. The older of the two was the very definition of authority.

The maidservant beside me bowed deeply, no longer frivolous as she was before.

However, the man’s aura did not bother me in the slightest. Absolutely not… I was just a little put off by having five people barge into the room all of a sudden. That’s why I wrapped myself in the blanket.

That was actually more of an instinct, on my part. Upon awakening, I immediately checked my being, and found that I was wearing a skirt… Still in shock from my appalling state, that bunch marched right in… Judging by that exchange just now, the middle-aged, well-dressed man was probably the “father”.

“You woke up! Great!” Seeing my confused state, the handsome blonde youth standing behind the middle-aged man quickly stepped forward to comfort me. “Be at ease, you’re safe here, I will protect you.”

“Hold on a moment, Sersan, my dear son. I will have you step aside first, I need to have a few words with this lady.” The middle-aged but still handsome man eyed me for a second. His eyes narrowed and his face jumped a little, but he quickly hid that.

Still, that expression was all too familiar to me… and it left me with even more goosebumps than before…

All I have to say is: no thanks…

“Ahem.” The middle-aged man brought a hand up to cough before revealing a warm smile. “Greetings, fair lady, I’m the king of Andassis, King Andassis the Seventh. You’re in my palace right now, it was my beloved son, Sersan, who brought you here. It was said you were comatose when we brought you in. How about we start with some self-introductions? Oh, right, this is my son, Sersan.”

Having said that, he gestured towards the blonde youth beside him.

Prince Sersan immediately nodded in my direction. Of note was the undisguised affection he showed in his eyes as he stared at me. Honestly speaking, I was a little creeped out… Can I just get out of here already?
