(Millicas's POV)
- Konosuba World –
It was morning in my Master's world and I was outside, waiting for August-niisama. He's currently going around with me in the village and asking about the village folks that has been missing around since yesterday. According to what we found out about the people who mysteriously went missing was that they are just walking around the village when some strange girl call out for them. Those who witnesses told us that she was a girl with strange characteristics like wearing bunny suit under her coat, carrots hanging on her braided hair and a very unique laugh.
Those people followed that strange girl somewhere and never came back.
Placing my palm in my forehead,
"Good grief... What is just wrong with this village? Everything about here is really weird. Their family member just went missing and they told us that it will be fine and they will return back home before they knew it. Just how easy going is Master's village.... Is everyone is this world like this?---Huh?"
I saw August-niisama walking back to me, sighing as he scratched the back of his head.
"Did you found out anything, August-niisama?" I asked even though I know the result of his investigation based on his expression.
"Nope, the people here in this Crimson Demons Village are not just weird but also quite easy going. Well, technically, I'm supposed to be one of them since my Dad grew up here."
"Eh? A lot of people are already missing! Why aren't they even anxious about it!"
"Seems like, only the young ones are missing and most of them are NEET."
"NEET?"
"Dad told me that they are unemployed adults who pretends to work but actually doesn't do anything. Most of them stayed at home and leech off of their parent's hard-earned money. In other words, they are people who doesn't want to work and just slack off all their whole life."
"Sounds like a useless person. Here I am working hard myself to train and study so that when I grew up, I will be helpful to my father."
August-niisama sighs as he looked at me with serious expression.
"About your training, looks like my Dad will leave it to me for the time being."
Remembering about Master's quality as a teacher,
"To tell you the truth, I prefer August-niisama to become my teacher instead."
"Hm? What do you mean by that?"
The two of us started to walk together.
"Master is really mean to me and he's always looks at me with a scary face. I haven't done anything to make him angry at me." I complained.
"Well, since you're my father's disciple then I think he won't mind if I tell you this."
"Huh?"
I was curious of what he's gonna say.
"Not only Dad can travel through different worlds but also he can arrived to a different timeline."
"What does that mean, August-niisama? Is Master a Time Traveller? Just like the fictional books I read?"
"Not really, but he has this lover who can travel in different timeline. He can just ask her to send him to the past. As you can see, I'm a result of his time travelling in the past. He and my mom became lovers then I was born out of their love."
August-niisama might look calm but his cheek was a little bit reddish out of embarrassment telling me his story.
"I might look young as my father but I'm actually 86 years old man. My father was stuck in the past for four hundred years and he's actually 409 years old."
I was surprised from what I heard but knowingly that Master is the Sun God, it's very highly possible that he can live longer just like us devils.
"There's more a lot of things to learn about him as you spend time with him. Your knowledge will become much broader than staying at your home world."
Hearing that, I felt really excited because I really want to learn something new.
"Wait! You're explanation is off the topic, August-niisama?! What does it have with Master getting angry with me?"
"As I told you Time Traveller will know the future. You might not offended him now but in the future, who knows? I won't tell you the details though."
"-------Master is really horrible."
....
Stopping in front of a run down, old looking shop, I tried to read what's written on the placard.
"Magic...Item... Shop?"
"Wow, you're really a fast learner, Millicas."
August-niisama praised me.
Last night, August-niisama taught me the language of this world and with the help of Gaia's translation spell casted on me, I quickly broke through the language barrier of this world.
"Let me tell you, this shop is actually my father's shop. He sells Magic Item crafted by himself."
As we enter the shop together, the one who greeted us was Kurē and she's wearing a maid costume together with Nana
"Welcome----Ah! August-nii and----Mi-kun!"
(Img<<<)
When Kurē noticed me, she immediately went towards my side and excitedly grabbed on my arm.
"Where did you two go? I was waiting for you, Mi-kun!"
I was really embarrassed seeing her being clingy to me. I can't really deny that she is cute but if Master saw me-----I don't even want to think of what's gonna happen to me.
"Hey! Kurē, I think you shouldn't be clingy to someone you just met!"
"But we're friends, right? Mi-kun is Daddy's disciple so it's fine."
"But I'm a boy and you're a girl!"
She should a little bit conscious of that!
"I don't know what are you talking about, but I always saw a lot of girls clinging on Daddy and he really likes it."
"Don't compare me with your father!" I retorted.
"Come on, Mi-kun. I just wanted to go and play with you."
"Nana wants to play too."
Behind me was Nana tugging my shirt again.
Her face is still expressionless as ever.
Suddenly, a young girl with short, dark brown hair approaches us. She also wearing a maid costume just Kurē and Nana. A black cat was hanging on her shoulder.
"How was it? Have you two found out anything about the missing Villagers?"
(Img<<<)
Her name is Megumin and she was introduce to me by August-niisama as my Master's twin sister and also his lover.
I was completely shock by their relationship.
What's more shocking was she was Kurē's mother.
Kurē looks different from her but when it comes to explosion topic. I realized that they are really mother and child.
"Megumin-san--- about that... we found some clue about the culprit. She was young lady with rabbit features. Unfortunately, we didn't find any clue about her whereabouts."
August-niisama responded, being clueless about the culprit's location.
Hearing that, Megumin-san pinched her chin, thinking as she looks up, trying to remember something.
"A girl with a rabbit features... I think I saw someone like that with Harukin... I always stay here in the shop because our mom went somewhere else. Me and my daughter Kurē are the one who's watching the shop so I sometimes miss of what's happening at home. Sometimes Lalatina take me to adventures."
"Do you have any idea where we can find that rabbit girl?"
"Recently, I'm seeing a lot of strange girls appearing around Harukin and that really pisses me off. But--- when I asked him who are they----he told me that they're just a bunch of daughters who came here from the future just to bother him. He reminded me that I shouldn't mind them too much. I think they usually hangout in the deep forest behind our house."
"Thank you, Megumin-san."
August-niisama slightly bowed to Master's twin sister.
She just smiled and nodded at him.
---
When we went to investigate the deep forest, the place has lot beautiful sceneries and it was really like a paradise.
"This forest is Father's hunting grounds since when he was still a small kid. He properly maintains this place just like garden and look---"
August-niisama pointed on a large area with a lot of growing vegetables and fruits.
Arriving there, I froze in shock when I saw fishes growing on the field.
"----W-what are these creatures? Why is a fish growing in the field?!"
"You see---"
August-niisama went to a pond near the field and he squatted down, grabbing something underneath the water.
"Gotcha!"
Something moves and splashes the water.
When August-niisama pulled it up, my eyes widened seeing a watermelon flopping on his hand.
"Watermelon?!"
When August-niisama dropped the watermelon down, it immediately swam away.
"Fishes growing on field and watermelon swimming on a pond?"
"I felt the same at first but time passes, I already got used to it. I know it's ridiculous but remember----- This is different world."
He keeps reminding me again.
"KON NENE! ---MATA NENE!"
We saw a large white seal spinning on the ground.
"Why is there a seal living here in this deep forest?!"
As we observed the seal lying down on the ground, it turned towards us.
"Huh?"
In the mouth of white seal, there was a girl face smiling at us.
"KON NENE!"
She waved at us.
(Img<<<)
I noticed that August-niisama was covering his eyes with right hand and I can barely see his painful expression.
"August-niisama? Are you okay?" I asked with worried tone.
He just raised his other hand towards me.
"Nevermind me--- Will you ask her about the rabbit girl we're looking for?"
"Okay."
I went and approached the seal girl.
"Umm----"
"Oh, aren't you father's disciple, Millicas-kun?"
I was very surprised when she knows me.
I never even met her before.
"H-how did---"
"I'm from the future----No, I'm your master's daughter in the future." she told me with a smile.
"Master's future daughter?!"
I was completely shock again.
"Yeah, and my name is Nene. I came here to bothe---- convince Dad to marry my mom."
(Img<<<)
Looks like, master had it hard too.
Seeing your daughter from the future coming here to bother you is really a pain in the neck.
"Then have seen a rabbit girl around here?"
"--Oh, you mean Pekora? I think over there-- You can see a big facility and she's currently doing something inside... I don't know."
She pointed at deeper part of the forest.
"Okay, thanks..."
"So you're going to see her--- Mata Nene!"
She just waved at me.
That girl is really strange.
I'm just having a hard time trying to get used in this world.
I just hope that I can adjust quickly here.
---
When August-niisama and I found the facility in the deeper forest,
It was a building with a transparent glass window. It look some kind of research facility that I usually saw in my home world.
August-niisama and I tried to sneak in the building and look what inside.
"HA↗ HA↘ HA↗ HA↘ HA↗HA↗ HA↘ HA↗ HA↘ HA↗HA↗ HA↘ HA↗ HA↘ HA↗HA↗ HA↘ HA↗ HA↘ HA!"
Hearing a strange laugh, we saw the rabbit girl with twin braided hair and she's doing some kind of experiment.
Our eyes widened when we saw several villagers imprisoned inside the facility and all of them are crying for help.
"Help us!"
"Get us out of here!"
"I want to go home!"
"It's futile-peko. None of you can use magic from this place--HA↗ HA↘ HA↗ HA↘ HA!"
The rabbit girl was making some kind of potion and she finally finished it as she transfer it on another container. She place a cover on it.
Taking off her mask,
"Finally, it finish!"
"Waaahh! Let me out of here!"
Looking around inside the facility from the glass window, I noticed that each room has one male and one female inside and all of them appears to be young.
"Do you know what's she's gonna do?"
"I don't know..."
August-niisama seems like he's having another headache again.
When the rabbit girl went in front of one of the room,
"I think I should start with this one-peko."
"Hey! Get me out of here! I'm begging you!"
The guy inside seems flustered and he's panicking while the beautiful lady with him seems look disappointed.
The man has short dark brown hair while the beautiful lady has longer hair which is tied in ponytail.
Panicking, the man keep hitting the glass that he looks like he saw a very ghost,
"Umm... Bukkororii... Are you okay?"
The beautiful lady worriedly asked him as she touches his shoulder,
"Waaahh!"
The man screamed as he quickly jumped away from the beautiful lady.
The rabbit girl showed them the potion,
"With the help of this potion, you guys will populate the village-peko. I will need a lot of people for my future plans."
As the rabbit girl poured the potion in some kind of hose near the entrance door of the room and pink smoke spread out from inside.
"What is this?"
The beautiful lady looks around seeing the smoke.
"HA↗ HA↘ HA↗ HA↘ HA! It's Aphrodisiac potion."
"What?!"
The beautiful lady was shock and immediately covered her mouth and nose.
I too was surprise.
"Now---SEGGS!!"
The rabbit girl evilly smiled.
"I'll tell Harukin about this."
The beautiful lady warned her .
The rabbit girl was sweating profusely and looked away from her.
It's already few minutes and there's nothing happening.
The beautiful lady's cheek twitched seeing that her male companion passed out on the floor.
She's very disappointed.
"Why won't you two do it?!"
The rabbit girl looks frustrated.
The beautiful lady sighed then she smiled delightfully,
"How about calling Harukin here? He's actually the boy I like."
"Eh? My father---Umm..."
Suddenly, someone entered the facility from the entrance.
She has long purple hair and pale skin. She's wearing a construction helmet on her head while her outfit consist white uniform with opened top that shows black top with ribbon.
(Img<<<)
"Shacho, building finished!"
The rabbit girl was very happy when she saw her.
"Hey, Moona! Nice timing!"
She excitedly ran and grabbed her arm as they left together the facility.
"August-niisama, let's save them."
"Yeah."
August-niisama agreed and we entered the facility to save the imprisoned villagers.
