Chapter 47: With This Group, That Being Had Become Quiet.

  Narrator Vulely: “…”

  Nemu: “Doll play is pretty fun… but not when there is an audience.” She said with a satisfied tone and expression.

  Narrator Vulely: “Y-you… You…” I barely stutter out.

  Nemu: “Hm? Oh, no need to be so shocked. I didn’t do anything sexual. But, you shall keep this a secret.” She sternly added, tugging at the Mana that I was using to do my job.

  Once I got over my nervousness, I went back to narrating. Upon arrival… I witnessed Nemu playing with Celia, Xena, and even Guanyu’s frozen selves, like they were merely dolls. Like she said, Nemu didn’t do anything sexual. It was like a weirdly realistic version of a dollhouse…

  Narrator Vulely: “Nemu… you’re more powerful than Guanyu?!” I ask with a deeply shocked tone, choosing to ignore Nemu’s strange hobby.

  Nemu: “In terms of power, that Cultivator outranks everyone, and always will. No, I am not. However, she isn’t like Celia and me, so Guanyu gets frozen in time like the others, regardless of her strength.” She explained, tone of that like I was a complete idiot.

  Narrator Vulely: “Ah, that makes more sense.” I say with a relieved tone.

  Nemu: “Since she is stronger than me… do you think that I’ll allow you to just rat me out to Guanyu? I have to say… that would be…” Her threatening words were cut off by me.

  How? I unfroze time! Rather, Nemu was the one who stopped talking. Threats like that are rare in this family, so Nemu, even if it wasn’t serious, doesn’t want our conflict to be public. Not to mention the spicy secrets of hers, that I know about…

  Narrator Vulely: “Celia, I’ve brought Nemu, Xena and Guanyu as backup. Now we won’t be on the defense against whatever that being is!” I happily inform, taking credit for this whole thing.

  Celia: “Eh? Vulely… that’s great! I was honestly worried that you left me for some odd reason. Your reply took a long time, which I found typically happens when you pop back and forth from the present to now.” She said with a bright smile.

  Narrator Vulely: “…” “Looking at her now… I can barely hold myself back from breaking down into tears. I left her side for an utterly ridiculous reason, after all…” I secretly and inwardly express, not wanting to ever air that horrible potential future to anyone.

  Nemu: “Yes, she is quite wise.” She added with a smug tone, momentarily glancing at me before doing a subtle nod.

  D-did I do the right thing?! I mean, what Nemu wanted me to do, taking credit for her work. Damn… I was hoping to actually piss Nemu off, not accidentally do her bidding!!!…

  Xena: “Celia, do you know what this being even is?” She asked with a serious thinking pose.

  Celia: “Not at all. I haven’t approached it just yet. Frankly, I think that Vulely’s presence was what prevented it from attacking me outright. It has gone completely silent now…” She replied with an unsure tone.

  Nemu: “Well, well. It doesn’t matter whom or what our enemy is. We just have to go and see why this being has decided to go after our dearest Celia.” She said with an unbothered tone, dragging the party out of the café. “Vulely, I’ll ensure that your mouth will keep quiet after this event is over. Understand?” She said in her thoughts, tone serious as all hell, transmitting those scary words directly to me.
