Chapter 702 – The Day God Came ─ the Princess’s Time Travel Comes to an End
“Ho, hooo…!!! The pocket watch is really fully charged!”
With her eyes wide open, the princess held a pocket watch emitting beautiful light in her hand.
The old god, Frigg, was sitting on her knees next to the princess, looking up at her beloved, Eve, who had completed her charging, looked triumphant, while Lilith still looked oddly anxious. 〉
“Now that your pocket watch is fully charged, you can return to the original time.”
Haha, wouldn’t it be a bit of a shame to go back right away?”
The princess smiles and caresses the pocket watch with her thumb.
‘Here, Ceres and Yuna are still called Vergilia… Yes! ‘Isn’t there a trig that I worked so hard to create as my own?’
There is still more to enjoy.
The princess made a small smile because she truly thought so.
“Wow… Didn’t you look quite desperate when you first said I needed to charge my pocket watch?”
“I thought you were in a situation where you had to go back right away?”
Lilith and Eve were smiling differently than they were speaking. The two couples soon began to like the princess. Although she didn’t fall in love with her in a sexual sense, she was deeply attracted to the princess.
What if you could see someone like that just for a day, just a little more? Is there anyone in the world who would say that it can’t be done?
“Hehe, as long as I don’t interfere with the completion of your spaceship, the Olympia, then there’s no problem with me remaining here for the next few days.”
“It was completed a long time ago, so you don’t have to worry, Mr. VVIP.”
Eve gave a small smile and lightly patted the princess’s back.
“… Hmm, it looks like you were thinking of doing something very interesting with the mortal subject.”
Eve lightly shrugs her shoulders at Frigg’s words as he kneels.
“Well, I was planning on escaping from this world that you all arbitrarily ruined.”
“Kuh, keuhuh… You’re really so insignificant that you’re talking like an inferior mortal! Eve Terra. Are we going to destroy it?”
Frigg’s eyes began to shine frighteningly.
“Didn’t mortals who didn’t know the subject gnaw their mother’s stomach without even thinking about it?”
“Ha, I don’t want to hear the same things environmentalists would say to you, who don’t even know when you were born. And that problem has already been solved, right? They succeeded in generating geothermal power generation in a very innovative way—”
“Stupid and foolish! How can you not know that in the end you just drove an iron nail into her mother’s heart!”
Eve didn’t even respond and just snorted.
“Well, let’s not mention the very trivial issue that the domestic goddess who loves nature so much has turned this world into a post-apocalypse.”
“Fuck, don’t fight…”
The princess smiled awkwardly, stroked Frigg’s head once, and held Eve’s hand once.
“It’s stupid… But, if our beloved West wants even a false peace…”
Frigg looked ecstatic as he rubbed his cheek against the Master’s thigh.
Eve looked at this with an expression of disgust, and for no reason grabbed Lilith, who was standing next to her, by the waist and squeezed her waist.
“Anyway…”
As soon as the situation calms down, the princess touches her pocket watch.
I really can go back. If she is a princess who has discovered the secrets of the imperial palace, she will also be able to use the secret room to completely heal Ceres’ body.
The knowledge and wisdom gained after a longer and longer time travel than expected will be of great power.
“Ah… Now that I think about it, I guess you shouldn’t go back right away.”
“Huh? I wasn’t planning on going back anyway, but is there a reason?”
“Of course, you have to bring a gift, right?”
The princess smiles at Eve’s words.
“Didn’t I tell you? There’s a high chance you won’t be able to take it?”
“There’s no point in saying that, right? If you can’t take the item in the first place, you’re a VVIP? Shouldn’t you have been naked when you showed up here?”
At Eve’s sharp words, the princess let out a moan and couldn’t reply.
“So… Because those are my clothes…”
“Using the same principle, wouldn’t you be able to take anything if you recognize it as a VVIP’s item or a VVIP’s clothes? Hehe…”
Eve looked evil and a bit dangerous.
“I’ll give you cool items that can help you create paradise on earth with one touch in a fantasy world. Oh, don’t worry. I’m giving you what’s left of what will be the spaceship’s cargo anyway.”
Eve, who said something I couldn’t tell if she was serious or joking, smiled and patted the princess’s waist before turning her around.
“Hey, Eve?”
“What’s wrong, Lilith?”
The moment Eve turned around, Lilith suddenly, really suddenly, grabbed Eve’s sleeve.
“I feel like something is wrong.”
“… Is it a mistake? What on earth are you saying that could go wrong here? It’s not like the chip in Frigg’s head overloads and disappears, reason and all, and genocides us…”
Eve snorted as she spoke and suddenly her eyes widened. The princess was also curious about the reason, so she followed Lilith and Eve’s gaze and looked at a certain place.
“Well, what on earth is that…?”
This was the question of the princess as she pointed with her finger at something emitting bright blue flames flying toward the sky.
“Oh, how about the Olympia…”
“Now, wait a minute! Didn’t you say you were the captain of that spaceship?!”
At the surprised words of the princess, Eve covered her mouth with her hand and was unable to say anything.
“Uh, uh, strictly speaking… Legally, the captain is me, General Jade. B-but, without Mr. Eve, I can’t manage the Olympia properly…”
“I don’t know how they did that part, but the important thing is that it has already been launched…”
Eve, her face turning pale, looks at the princess.
“Mr. VVIP. Does it take a long time to use that pocket watch?”
“Well, if I put my mind to it, I can go back right now, at this very moment.”
“… Then go back.”
Eve’s expression was extremely serious.
“What are you saying?”
On the contrary, the princess was surprised and pointed her finger toward the sky, pointing to the ‘Olympia’, which had begun to fly to a world unknown to the princess.
“Shouldn’t you be on that ship?! I’ll help you somehow!”
“How can I help you? Among the vehicles left on this Earth, there is nothing that can reach a speed similar to that spaceship.”
Eve spoke calmly and held the princess’s hands.
“VVIP, you have to go back.”
“Don’t do this to me, Eve…!!! That’s right! Didn’t you say you were giving me a gift?”
She was somehow a joking princess, but not only her Eve, but even her Lilith, who was standing behind her, shook her head from side to side.
“It’s better for you to return quickly, Mr. Venus. This, uh, is something that can’t be helped.”
“As far as release? What on earth is going on that makes you say that?”
“… Humanity… Was not meant to simply run away from this Earth.”
Eve closes her eyes and exhales her breath.
“I didn’t disparage the terraforming plan that Lilith said was promising, but in fact it was just a good-looking plan.”
“Oh, the moment the Olympia is on track, General Jade will carry out the established procedures.”
“It’s… A really cool plan called ‘Judgment Day.'”
Eve holds her princess’s hand tightly. Behind her head, she suddenly saw a spaceship flying toward the pitch-black sky.
“Judgment Day…? I feel like I’ve heard that name somewhere…”
“There is a high possibility that you have heard of it. Anyway, the principle is simple. We plan to completely wipe out the Earth’s surface using artificial satellites floating in space and nuclear weapons on the ground.”
Frigg, who was kneeling at those words, smiled a little.
“Stupid… Did you say nuclear weapons? You know full well that such a ridiculous object won’t work on us, right?”
“Yes, I know it. I said it was crazy, but the high-ranking people who hold my life on the line said that they felt it was really, really, really humiliating to have to abandon this earth, and that they didn’t want to leave anything behind on earth?”
At Eve’s words, Frigg smiled as if it were laughable and pitiful.
“Well, then you guys…”
“Oh, don’t worry. It will work out somehow. There is a way to get to Pandemonium.”
The princess’s eyes grew wider at Eve’s words.
“Wait, Pandemonium?!”
“Ah… Didn’t you hear? It’s an underground city built at the spot where the damn old god over there was excavated… It’s not that bad. Furthermore, it’s a suitable place for low-income people to live. Furthermore, it can also mine nectanium. Life isn’t bad.”
“It won’t be that much different from living on earth. There’s no problem. Rather…”
Lilith squeezed the princess’s hand and held it.
“If VVIP returns to the original world, something like this might not happen. In other words, we can survive no matter what, but if VVIP stays here for a long time…”
“Are you telling me to hurry back because I might die?”
Eve and Lilith nodded.
“Well, then I can’t help it… I can’t help it…”
“I don’t have time, Mr. VVIP.”
Eve held the princess’s hand and stroked it.
“Well, as soon as we get into orbit… There’s a high probability that General Jade will activate the Judgment Day Protocol in a bit of a hurry. Well, we took over the Olympia as soon as we went out.”
“Well, then, uh, I can’t help it…!”
The princess clenched her molars. She wanted to spend a little more time, but she never thought there would be a time limit in this situation.
In the end, the princess looked at her frigg who was kneeling.
“Frigg… Even if I go back… Please, don’t kill Eve and Lilith.”
“… You really have a pitiful soul. I understand. I will do as you wish.”
Eve was a little surprised by Frigg’s words, but there was no time.
The blue flames created by the Olympia, which rose into the pitch-black sky, had already disappeared from the sky.
“Well, then, Eve… Lilith! Frigg! Thanks to your help, I was able to return. So. So…”
The princess clenched her molars and looked at Eve.
“… I hope that the day we meet you again, we can smile.”
What meaning does that one word have? Eve Terra could not know.
The princess did not speak. She could not bear to say that Eve Terra had become a fearsome being called ‘mother’ by her demons.
So Eve just smiled brightly and waved her hand.
─Fired! Ji-ing…!!!
The moment the princess pressed the button on her pocket watch, the words she spoke disappeared with the wind, and she disappeared in an instant.
Eve looked at the princess, who disappeared in an instant without leaving a trace of dust or a shadow, with the corner of her mouth twitching, and then burst out laughing.
“… Really… It looks like there was time travel. I thought about 50% of it was a lie.”
“Eve… You believed it.”
Eve smiled at Lilith’s words and held her lover’s hand.
The two look at the old god, Frigg, with tense expressions. Dear West, at this moment when the princess disappeared, there was no reason why this fearsome god would not kill them both.
“Really… It’s pitiful.”
Strangely enough, Frigg did nothing. She was on her knees looking at the sky.
“It’s surprising. I thought they would kill us as soon as they freed themselves from the bondage of the chip.”
“There is no reason for my hands and body to have the blood of a mortal who will die anyway.”
Frigg said that and did not get up.
It was a kind of tolerance shown by a god, an immortal being, to a mortal.
“Thank you. I guess it’s true that you are the god of the family.”
“Thank you… Maybe something like this isn’t so bad for me.”
Frigg says nothing to what Lilith and Eve say.
The two couples held hands tightly. The two didn’t move. I had no intention of running away in the first place.
Pandemonium? It was a place that existed, but it was not a place you could reach by running from here.
─Pow…!
Eve takes a deep breath as she hears a small explosion coming from very far away.
“It’s not bad. Aren’t you a little proud, Lilith? You sent the VVIP back to its original time, right?”
“Out of the many things that Eve and I have done, this may be the only one that we are truly proud of.”
Eve smiled slightly and squeezed her beloved Lilith’s hand.
The two looked at each other’s faces.
No one said what to do, but it was already decided.
They could feel the rising heat, the air starting to expand, and the blowing wind, but Eve and Lilith didn’t care about anything and just held each other’s cheeks and kissed each other.
