Chapter 2

Challenger/Challenger

Part 1

Kingdoion, District 3

After threatening the boss to stay in the Inn, the siblings didn't even last one night before

wordlessly checking out However, the second s who

were currently lodging in Stephanie Dora's home

No, to be exact— on the second s had arrived in the bathroom of her house

”NiiI hopeyou can explain”

The naked shi+ro asked while being shampooed

”Explain? If it is about the cleaning scene, then there won't be any sort of development if it isn't a

bathing scene, should I explain more?”

”Niibathing sceneotherwisegrade schoolersare, perfect

NG's[16]” ”Don't worry little sister, the infamous [Mist block] will play a role, and make the

scene [Pure]” Sora gazed at the unnaturally thick mist in the bathroom and said this

”Could it be, because of this reason, you actually 'boiled up the entire bath'?” Steph responded

with a du shi+ro's hair ”Exactly this reason This is an

important place after all”

”Did you know, because of this, the servants had to needlessly burn that much firewood?” And

after boiling the bath, it was common sense to not soak into it

Senselessly wasting all that water to create a mist effect

”If you want to say it like that, then what about a particular person who gets to enjoy such a large

bath and still has the audacity to accuse so wasteful”

”—Guuu”

(As expected of the lineage of royalty)

Steph was actually ined

The house was built with Roman-styled infrastructures, so it would not be inappropriate to call it

a [Castle], s who only knew japan Furthermore, the personal

bath that Steph had was spacious enough to fit ten people inside

The baths, which were also Roman-styled, were currently boiled up to make the scene [For all

ages]

With this level of luxury displayed, people really couldn't help but wonder if this was really a

house froe of destruction

”And also, I'm sorry Because my sister hates to take baths— She also stubbornly believes that

[This includes even if an eleven-year old girl is in an eighteen-year old's ero book] so she

wouldn't let me help her wash, which explains why she rarely takes a bath But yesterday she

said that if it was in a clean scene then it was okay, so I thought there was no reason not to take

advantage of that”

”GuuuuNii, hate”

But the bottom line, this rule should be the

that she was protesting

”Little sister, if you take care of yourself then you will becoirl

and take a bath” ”It's fineif I'm not a beauty”

”Your brother loves a beautiful shi+ro” ”Guuuuuuuuuuu”

Muttered shi+ro in a low voice She found it hard to co Sora say that

But it will be fine either way

No, they had attracted unpleasant es, but this

fact was ignored Co that was at hand

(This situation Why did it happen in the first place?)

(Why a a fully naked shi+ro's hair, while Sora is wearing clothes and standing on the

opposite side?) ”—Sorawhy, do I have to wash shi+ro's hair?”

—No, it shouldn't be this thorough

These queries were raised after suffering from a deep remorse on why she did not reject him

before ”Did you listen to what I said? It's because if you don't do it, shi+ro will refuse to take a

bath”

”Do- does it even matter to me?!?” ”Un, you want to let me see?”

”He—hell no! I a more trouble for me!”

”Rest assured, Steph I will use my [Additional measures] to appreciate and feel your naked body

later” ”—Wuh!”

Being told off like this, Steph blushed and covered her body

But on the other hand, hearing the indication that Sora ht have interest in her allowed her a

sense of ”peace of mind”

Thinking that Sora was looking for a hole in the wall in which he could peek through, Steph

surveyed the room ”But now, even if included — You can't blindly trust this [Mist block]”

”Huh?”

”Just like after my bath, my ”little brother” would rise up, or the mist block is too insufficient to

block off my little sister, then that wouldn't be M18[17], but issued ban” [18]

”—Th-this, ah”

Steph didn't understand what Sora had just said

But most importantly, Sora had no reason to peek over

However, this was the li that Steph has, which couldn't be helped

What was set in the bathroom were two mobile phones and laptops

And Steph didn't know that the two tiny holes were cameras

— After the bath, shi+ro would confirm the screen, if there weren't any problems, they would

start watching So in Sora's heart, he swore to repress the io back to that

world

Part 2

”Fuuhow comfortable” ”Muwuuuhair slipperyvery ticklish”

While waiting for shi+ro to finish, Sora hurriedly took a shower himself

The seely refreshed Sora was in total contrast with shi+ro's unhappy look

—It appeared that, it was exactly what Sora had mentioned earlier, after shi+ro's white hair was

being combed

Her gently wavy hair, which was as white as snoas dran Accompanied by that

porcelain-like white skin and coupled with her red eyesshe was just like a doll produced by a

professional craftsmen

”It would be fine if you'd remain in this state forever Really, it's such a waste” ”Anyways,

apart from Niiwon't show it”

Speaking of which, Sora did also have a hearty appearance after he shaved his stubble How to

say it

(Wh-what a failure)

Staring intently at Sora, Steph desperately tried to suppress her nosebleed, that

Currently, Sora did not have the vile feeling that he e, but

instead had the hearty ie of a [Good Youth]

However— The problems didn't stem from here

Trying desperately to endure the forthco nose bleed, Steph blurted out ”Y-you,

both of you— get dressed!”

—Steph got so shocked that she stood up, while the siblings, with only torapped around

themselves, replied ”Didn't you say you wanted to wash our clothes? We only have those

clothes to wearunless they've already been dried?”

Said Sora, who didn't expect that dryers would exist in this world

”Th-that, thatthen I will prepare you some clothes— male, do we have male clothes to

weargu, guuuuuwhy did it end up like this”

Gru, Steph turned around and left to search for clothes

—10 minutes later

The exact saround with her head

down, deeply regretting what she had done

(Wh-what a failure)

”Ho ho, this is a butler's unifor around

in it is quite inconvenient, it's quite interesting, like cosplay! And it matches with the white

lining”

Standing in front of the drooping Steph, was a butler-dressed Sora ”Fluttering, too much

Inconvenient for movement”

And shi+ro earing Steph's dress from when she was a child

This was her satisfactory choice after searching for suitable clothes that would fit both of them

There was only the servant's clothes for the men— which was the butler's uniform

Siirl, only the clothes that she wore in the

past could be acceptable

The gesture of both siblings, were like of a highborn Ojou-sama with her personal butler beside

her

Steph stole another glance again

Probably because of his slender body and broad shoulders, the subtle butler kind of style

perfectly matched Sora, which made Steph's heartbeat pound furiously

Looking at the little sister who looked like his master, Steph's heart clenched for the third time

”Really, a failure” ”H at all!”

Carelesslyout her inner anxiety, Steph hurriedly shook her head Patting on her

knees that were still planted on the ground, Steph stood up

But if this slender girl's mind could be easily perceived, then Sora did not resent the eighteen

years of being a virgin Whispering to himself

”Slept, refreshed after a bath— Steph” ”Hm, ah, eh? Wh-what is it?”

”What are you panicking for Ercastle?”

For the Tokyo-born Sora, he was unable to classify what Steph's ”residence” type ithin his

cognitive range, but he concluded that this was [Just fine]

”Does it have a library or a stack room where books can be accessed and reviewed?” ”Ah,

yesthere is onewhat are you going to do?”

”Steph, are your ears bad? Didn't I say I want to review the books?”

”Th-that of course I heard it! I a what do you need to check!” ”Check

whaths in this world” ”—[This World]?”

Steph was somewhat confused about these words that would normally come out of inhabitants

from a different world

”Nii, thatwe haven't told her yet”

Said shi+ro with a dejected expression, see to accept her dried hair ”—Hmmm?

That? Is that so?”

”Er?”

”Ah, how to explain this This will feel aard explaining things now”

This kind of topic, whether if it was believed or not, could be said to be the biggest obstacle

Sora thought carefully on what he should say in order to gain trust

—Scratching his head, he sighed

It was obvious that Sora was showing a troubled expression Then, without affectation, he

casually said,

”To put it simply, we are [Froe of this

world”

—Just like that

Part 3

They were guided to the library— or what looked like one

Alh school library, it was actually Steph's [Private stack

rooe aed against the wall

Although they wanted to investigate so— ”Eh, Steph”

”Hmm? What is it?”

Sora unexpectedly ran into a huge obstacle

”—The coe of this country, it isn't japanese?”

Holding the book that was in a foreign language, Sora hugged his head and groaned

”japanese? I don't quite understand, but the natural lingua franca for the human species is

[Huhtfororld”

Obviously there wasn't a proble Yet the text written in the book could not

be identified ”Then, are you guys really from a different world?” ”Yeah, I know you'll find

it hard to believe—”

People wouldn't believe Sora's words, but rather think that it was a plot in a story Even Sora

didn't expect to be trusted easily

”Ah, no On that point, I have never doubted it”

Hearing Steph's soft reply, Sora could not help but be stunned ”Huh? Why?”

In return, the conversely shocked Steph also replied

”You ask inally summoned from

another world, so this is not an eye-catching thing Moreover, looking at your appearance, it was

certain that you were not people of this country, but you could only be human”

—After all, there was only one country left for ht~ This is a

fantasy world after all~Fuu” Seehed deeply

Once again, he flipped through the foreign book and scratched his head

”Hmmmit is indeed troublesoe Can you

remember itshi+ro?”

”Un”

”How?” ”Un”

Sora and shi+ro

They see information with a communication method known only to the

siblings Casting their line of sight on the books, both of them fell silent

Unable to stand this aardness, Steph sighed ”So, what should I do?”

This time, she would probably have to [Contribute] and be a tutor for both of them, which could

not help but add a little self-deprecating flavor

But, Sora who haddifferent ”No

What I want is so different”

Hearing that, Steph suddenly re, before

assu a defensive posture

Even though Steph would not be surprised if she heard dozens of Perverted-H things co

from his mouth— ”Could you answer a few questions for me”

”— Okayah, huh? That, no problem”

Hearing so unexpected yet serious, Steph stroked her chest in relief Putting on a serious

face, Sora continued

”Yesterday, when I groped your chest, you had no resistance, so why did you hit me when I tried

to flip your skirt, just why— okay, okay, I'll be serious, that was just a joke”

Feeling the penetrating gaze of Steph, Sora's gaze once again fell back onto the book ”Hmm, I

often hear the words 'Human race', so what are the other 'Races', then” Looking like she had

heard an incredible question, Steph rejoined

”Is there only the human race in Sora's world?”

”Well, at least the only form of interaction we have should only be with that of a [Human]—

so?” ”Ah, guuthis, eh”

As they had claimed, they were not from this world, so what should be clarified first After

considering this point, Steph began talking

”Firstly— do you know about [God's words]?”

”How the [Ten Oaths] caroup by the fountain not

too long ago” ”I understand— then— ”

—Cough cough

”The so-called [Races], for which the [Ten Oaths] were laid down for, are the intellectual 【

Sixteen Races】 ” ”Sixteen races”

”With the [Ten Oaths] as the basis, the rights to encroach, violate, destroy, and mutually kill for

the 【 Sixteen Races】 — were all taken away, and the result ar disappeared from this

world”

”I see And I was originally wondering where would the food come from — but it turned out

that the [Oaths] were only limited to intellectual life”

While flipping through the book, Sora felt quite satisfied hat he had said Seeing this,

Steph sighed and

”However, let's see, using ga wars Which are also territorial battles—

'Ga for the country' Even as we speak, so this sort of

game”

[Ga for the country]— Sora had some reaction to this previously heard phrase

”—The huht?”

”Currently, it is indeed trueeven though it was not said that other races would have

only one country— but for the human race, we are only left with Elchea”

— Even till here

Sora kept asking questions which he had already known the answers to

And co with this world, their oorld seemed to have more common sense Which

means,

”So if there is no hy fight for territory? Can't interlocution solve anything?” ”Guu,

that”

But, shi+ro replied instead of the halted Steph

”Resources are liation is infinitesharing will

also be li to common demise”

”Y-yeah Just like that!”

Hearing the opinions of shi+ro who had snatched her chance to speak, Steph hurriedly nodded

”Youdidn't even consider that before, right”

Because shi+ro answered first, Sora, who did not receive the perception a resident of this world

ht have, helplessly watched Steph

”Wh-hat are you saying, this type of thing!”

—Indeed, she did perceive all of this as ”common sense”, since she was born here after all

So as for why the ga to be difficult to

anshen questioned

”In any case, this problehed

Even without [War], [Competition] still exists

—Which also means, [Total equality] is unachievable

If equality was equal to handing out li with each other would be a

game of [Musical Chairs]

And the results, the wealthy would be the [Minority] while the poor would be the [Majority]—

What a pain, there was clearly nothing different between this world and their world ”Then,

what kind of specific races are there in the 【 Sixteen Races】 ?”

Pausing all his thoughts, Sora got the topic back on track

Steph hus, while counting numbers

using her fingers ”Below only God, the first is the Divine Spirit race, then the second is the

Phantasma race, nuon and Giant

raceElf and Werebeast race, erm— and so on”

”Hmmmm, as expected of a benevolent fantasy world”

Steph see the sixteen races after reaching the

against the weak-minded Steph, Sora suddenly remembered another question ”Hey, what are the

[Nus]for?”

”Uh, that I a sequence” ”—

Ranking sequence?”

”Un, un, to say it siic, which hat I heard”

”What do you uous Steph, did you receive education?”

Disregarding his NEET identity, Sora asked to a seely unhappy Steph

All the things he said, lead to a new topic, before coughing afterwards

”First things first, I did~ I did graduate fro sequence,

there was nothing to research about humans— because we are number 16— which means that

our ic adaptive level is 0 It couldn't be observed no matter how hard you research about it”

”0?”

Sora shi+fted his line of sight away from the book and asked ”Hmm—? Wait, humans can't use

ic?”

”Yeah Apart froic”

”I feel likeas long as you use props, wouldn't that do?”

”Gaaic to be

driven— but ic for mankind is just impossible”

”—Absolutely?”

Although Sora kept firing annoying questions, Steph didn't show any sighs of boredom

Actually, it would be better to say—

”Absolutely Humans can't connect to the [Spirit Corridor]— which is the source of ic”

Steph slightly lowered her head

”That's e are on a losing streak for [Ga for the Country]”

—Aaa

With a slightly bitter smile, Sora went on

”Then, the ht?”

”Ah, no Being closer to nu Gods— their existence

could be regarded as a foric, it would

be the [Elf race] from number seven”

Elf A typical i the word ”—Elfisn't an

Elfpointy eared, pale skin?”

Steph gave out an expression that clearly wondered how did residents from another world know

so much

”Errr, yes Now, the largest country in this world would be [Avant Heim], a place that is driven

by ic, the word could be synonymous with the Elf race”

—Sora sighed with a 'Fuu'

Placing his hand on his chin, Sora used a very serious expression and started thinking ”—”

Because Sora was decked out in a tuxedo uniform, in addition to his serious face, Steph's heart

started beating wildly

(Illusion, illusion, illusion— these are only instilled feelings)

Just when Steph's heart went into hts As if

wondering about so, Sora carefully worded his reply

”A race that can't usecountry]?”

”Eh, ah, no, the Werebeast race froic either” Steph reluctantly and

incoherently answered

”But, what's different is, they can rely on their powerful senses to read the ic atmosphere and

people's feelings The islands in the South-Eastern seas are joined together as the Werebeasts'

country, the [Eastern Union], which is the world's third largest country—”

Steph painfully, and unconsciously increased the strength of her hand that was clutching her arm,

before continuing ”Even if they can't use ic, they can still compete with others— with

the exception of [Aylwin Gerudo], they can rival many races and nations But it doesn't really

matter, because in a human's eyes, it would seem as if they

were using so]”

”—Aaaa So that's how it is”

If hu it would be impossible
