Chapter c951 - The Absolutes Day ~ ~ Night ~ ~ (2/2)

She didn't know what Kaito meant with his words, so she asked back with a curious expression on her face.

Thereupon, for some reason, the other person at the back of the room looked shocked and timidly spoke.

[……Errr…… Spirits are supposed to be sensitive to magic power…… However…… Nebula…… isn't afraid of me?]

[U- Unnn? Afraid? I don't really understand what you mean though…… This is the first time we've met, right?]

[……U- Unnn…… That's really the case…… but I have…… my magic power of death……]

The person at the back of the room…… Isis was just as confused, or more confused than Nebula. This is because, although she had mentioned that she wanted to meet Nebula after hearing about her from Lillywood and Kaito, she expected that they would either exchange words from a distance or have a conversation in that specially designed reception room.

Rather, they were going to meet in the reception room at first, but when Kaito left the room to go call for Nebula, Nebula happened to pass by them and they ended up greeting each other in the nearby room.

This had to be the worst possible situation for Isis. Although she quickly moved to the edge of the room and kept as much distance as possible, she still thought that her magic power of death would scare her away.

……But contrary to her expectations, Nebula wasn't afraid of Isis at all. It wasn't like she was acting or anything though, as she really seemed to be wondering about what Isis had said.

(……Magic power of death? Ahh, I can certainly feel some magic power that puts pressure on my mind, but was she talking about that? Even though that magic power is unusual, I've already observed such a peculiar magic power before…… No, since it holds power on the level of an authority, I guess it would be quite the rare ability. I see, so she was worried that her magic power would affect me huh…… It seems like I'm being underestimated. It's not possible for a peculiar magic power of this level to affect this Absolute me.)

After nodding once, Nebula approached Isis with a smile and called out to her, having guessed the situation to some extent from the words Isis had said.

[I could understand what's going on, but please rest assured that I am not particularly affected. Once again, my name is Nebula. Nice to meet you.]

[……I- Is that so…… Ahh…… I'm Isis…… Isis Remnant…… Nice to meet you too.]

[Yes! I'm in your care, Isis-san!]

[ ! ? ]

Even though she was bewildered, Isis introduced herself and reflexively held out her hand, which Nebula clasped with both of her tiny hands and shook.

Isis looked surprised at Nebula's ability to approach and how she was even able to touch her, but after a moment, she happily smiled.

[……You really…… are alright…… It feels like you're hiding great power…… was that perhaps the case? ……Nebula…… is amazing.]

[I am Absolute after all!]

[……Fufufu…… I see…… Hey…… If Nebula is alright with it……. would you like to have tea with me?]

[Yes! I was just getting bored, so if Isis-san and Milord don't mind, by all means!]

Hearing the words Nebula seemed to have become a habit of saying, Isis happily smiled and sat down on a chair with Nebula on her lap, sitting within her embrace.

The other side of the table was occupied by the smiling Kaito, and thus, the three of them enjoyed chatting over tea.

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [……The meter-tall Absolute has too high of a communipower…… Isn't she already on the level of the communipower monsters like Kuro and Razelia……]

? ? ? : [Rather, she's like a considerate oni…… The fact that she does it all naturally, I guess that's why she's so in tune with Pandemonium.]
