『Was it safe to eat a doppelganger?』

Ferris put her hand on my shoulder and worriedly examined me.

『Well, it might hurt a little but I think the butcher's stomach can handle it, besides, I can finish Tiriel's cooking.』

『Oh....... you ate Tiriel's food? Then I guess it's okay?』

Ferris's said in a somewhat unsure voice.

The warm light envelops me. It seems that she is healing me. Even if I was severely injured, it would only take a few days to recover if I left it alone. But thank you.

『--Jebodan, I can't recover your arm, not with my soma rightnow. Sorry, I can put it back together if you still have the arm at least ......』

Ferris said apologetically.

『I'll show you something interesting then.』

『Eh?』

I stretched out my severed arm.

--Nyu!

Nyu-nyu-nyu-nyu-nyu-nyu-nyu-nyu-nyu.

"------"

Everyone shifted their gaze to the side.

Dozens of new blood vessels stretched from the cross-section of my arm. Almost looked like parasites had poked their heads out of my arm.

『What, what, what, what is that!?』

Every inch of her brown skin was covered in goosebumps. Lydia hugged her arms.

cry⠀of⠀resentment".

From the rear of the army, there was a commotion.

The sea of soldiers split in two with a shuffling noise.

From the far end of the path, the silhouette of a woman strode gracefully like a model.

Ferris's face turned grim when she saw her.

『Titania!? How did she get here......!』

"Abby, put this mask on!!!"

Lydia hurriedly handed her a fox mask.

"A...mask?"

"quickly!""

Lydia rushed Abigail, who was confused by the jovial design.

A smiling Titania walks in with a spriggan on either side of her.

Every step she takes, the crowd splits and a path is formed. On the side, 88 soldiers kneel down to welcome her.

Their reaction to the sight of Titania is striking, all of them gazing at her with admiration and longing.

It was the faces of those who were lost for words when they saw the first rays of the morning sun emerging from the horizon.

Some are breathing hard, and some even shedding tears.

Deprived of thought, they simply overwhelmed with emotion.

"----What is this, a new alien........................ggg!?"

Pennrose bit his teeth and sweated profusely.

Trembling with blue veins visible on his scalp, he, too, slowly knelt down when she came within a few steps.

He stared in horror at her feet, unable to move.

Titania reached me without any disturbance, quietly took my hand, and asked.

"----Are you satisfied?"

"Yes."

I nodded and she let out a sigh of relief.

"That's good, hmph ▲▽〆■〓☆§&※......"

The unintelligible words followed. She is probably scolding me.

When I tilted my head and adopted a pose of "I don't understand." she let out a small sigh and pulled my hand away.

"Let's go home. ▲▽〆■〓☆§&※●----"

"Oh, wait. Stop."

Titania looked back at me as I stopped her.

--Can I take Abigail and the others with me?

I'd like to say that, but that sentence is still too difficult for me.

I called Abigail and the others over and tried to explain with gestures.

"--!"

"--!"

The moment Abigail and Titania faced each other, I sensed something

I saw space-time distort.

--What....... again?

Quickly intervening, I blocked their view. Leave that for later.

--And, can these kids come too?

Standing next to me, Natsuki looks up at Titania with a blush on her cheeks. Yakumo still has expressionless look on his face. The two of them had no masks on.

Then Titania looked at me with a rather dubious expression on her face. She looks like a mother facing a child's tantrum. I want to be spoiled, can I? please?

I rubbed my hands

Titania, who watching my antics and sister and brother, suddenly caught sight of Yakumo and stared at him thoughtfully.

"--Hah......."

Eventually, Titania sighed as if she had been defeated.

My selfishness was heeded. Thank you, here's a face licking. *Peropero*

"Follow me."

Titania turned on her heel.

I hurriedly called Abigail and the others and followed her back.

『Ah, wait!』

『Come on, let's go!』

Ferris and Arshella soon caught up, followed by Lydia and Tiriel. Titania did not seem particularly bothered. The four girls seemed to be OK.

After all, Titania's tolerance is as wide as the ocean. When she gets angry, though, she's thunderous and scary.

"Gggg, wait !!"

Penrose forced his voice out, trying to stop us, but he was unable to get up.

We walked leisurely through the crowd as if we are loyals and headed out of the 88. The gates were still broken by the Highland Zephyr.

『Is this Titania's power?』

I asked the four girls behind me.

『This is the power of domination. I am sure of it.』

『I've never seen it before, but it's incredible. I wonder if it's affecting them because subhumans have no resistance to it?』

Ferris answered, and Lydia added.

I've never seen anything like it before.

Unstoppable.

But I wonder if it's useless unless it's not in the line of sight. But it's not an exaggeration to say that this is still an extraordinary ability. What the hell is this? I can't help but laugh.

Why was she in the basement of Faymbaum with me when she had this power? It was a question I had been asking myself in the past, but now that I had witnessed what had happened, it had been brought back into my mind again.

I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask her to tell me her story.

When I get back, I'll ask Lydia to help me - even if I have to get down on my knees.

When I passed through the broken gate and stepped out of the 88, I found alien corpses scattered all over the place.

"This is......." Abigail stunned.

"It's the main force of Faymbaum, the one that was planning the attack on the Fort. It looks like Titania took care of them."

From the look of it, the alien seems to have been wipeout insects as they were turned into meatballs. You were waiting for the main gate of the 88 to open when you were ambushed by the Titans from behind.

Thank goodness.

If she hadn't come to pick me up, I would have had to fight both 88 and the aliens and escape with Abigail and the others, an extremely difficult task. I didn't expect the slaughterhouse to be breached.

This is the second time I've had to be rescued from Faymbaum?

I can't get my head around her anymore. I want to be buried in her plump ass.
