Chapter 716: Heiress Part 1
[Context!! This scene takes place 16 years after the main story!! That’s a long time, and many things have changed!! Since the main story has already ended, these side stories give you a glimpse into what the future looks like.
From now on, we’ll be following Pandora’s daughters, so you’ll get to see a lot of what their lives are like in the future! They’ve all grown so much over these past sixteen years, and this time, the story is told from Eclipsya’s perspective!!!]
"...Daughters! How wonderful to see you all gathered!!" Mama Pandora speaks through a screen in the system. She said she had something important to tell us and that the four of us should meet, so here we are in an empty castle made just for this conversation.
"Aqua and Lycoris! You two have grown so much! You built your own kingdom, and your focus on food trading is quite interesting."
"Aqua, I loved the trick you created for food transport! That artifact that creates a water current in the sky connecting one point to another for transport by special boats is incredible," Mama praises Aqua.
"And Lycoris, you’ve become such a cute little queen of your kingdom, even if you’re a bit lewd with your sister, but that’s fine. You provide excellent support for Aqua, and I’m pleased you’ve become more responsible and started taking better care of your hydra."
"...Now, Azazel and Eclipsya, your kingdom honestly caught me off guard. Deciding to compete with my kingdom in the fast transport of food, materials, and weapons is a risky move."
"But Azazel’s blood beasts handling that was an excellent stroke. Of course, I have one criticism, which is simply the fact that your means of transport depends on Azazel. So if she disappears, dies, or stops generating blood beasts, your kingdom will collapse. Please improve that."
"Eclipsya, I liked what you did with your kingdom’s organization. It’s efficient, practical, and very clever — so good that I took some of your internal policies and created my own based on them."
"And Azazel, you surprised Elena, which is incredible since she’s not one to be surprised by others. Your student magic thesis that the schools you created teach is exemplary, truly perfect," Mama Pandora praises all of us for our achievements.
"As you all must know, if I called you here, it’s because I want to tell you something. What do you think it is?" The system glows red with golden letters flashing.
"You’re going to give your title to one of us and choose your successor?" I say, confident that my kingdom is better than that bitch Aqua’s kingdom.
"Good guess, that’s exactly the subject, daughters!" When she says that, we all immediately grow anxious. After losing our chance in the past, now is the perfect moment. It’s been fifteen long years of work for this day.
"This is the kind of news that’s best delivered in person! So I, the avatar giving this news, will appear there! One moment," Mama Pandora says as some kind of portal appears before us.
Soon Mama Pandora emerges from the portal, but something immediately draws attention: a girl clinging to Mama Pandora. She is literally embracing her, her arms wrapped beneath Mama Pandora’s breasts, her face pressed against Mama Pandora’s ribs, and her legs wrapped around Mama Pandora’s waist.
She is a beautiful girl with long black and blonde hair and pale skin, with red eyes, large breasts, tall at 178 centimeters. A golden angelic halo floats above her head while she has a long black tail.
"..." We all fall silent, staring at the girl.
"Daughters, this is your new little sister. Well, this is a projection — the real one is trapped with me! By the way, I’m also a projection! This cute little thing and I are both trapped in a seal and we’re not getting out! Isn’t that adorable? You can’t leave that place," Mama Pandora says with a smile, stroking the head of the girl who stares at us with a dead gaze.
’Is that girl okay?’ I look at her, and she has an extremely dark expression, as if she wants to be dead.
"Mama, what’s the name of our new little sister?" Azazel asks Mama Pandora with an animated tone.
"Her name is Elysia... oh yes, and I brought her here to announce that she is my successor. You’re far too late, daughters. I gave her my title years ago." When Mama Pandora says this as if it were nothing, we all stand confused until we process what she said, and then we become utterly devastated.
’She already gave away the title?’ I look down at my hands. Years of work to be considered her successor, and she gave the title to someone we didn’t even know was competing.
"...No!!! No, no!! This isn’t fair, Mother!!" Aqua says, stomping her foot on the ground. We all share this immense feeling of injustice.
"How could this brat clinging to you be your heir?! We haven’t seen anything she’s done! She just appeared now!!! Is this a test? Do you want us to try harder? There’s no way we lost to someone we didn’t even know was in the competition!!" Aqua grinds her teeth, speaking with hatred directed at the girl.
We all glare at the girl with anger too. This ’new little sister’ is the problem. She stole this chance from us.
"Come now, daughters, she really is the heir. I wouldn’t lie about this. I’m happy that you all worked so hard—"
"Mother, shut up. Can I go back already? You said this would be quick." When our supposed "new little sister" speaks so rudely to Mama Pandora, the reaction from all of us is one of immediate awareness. We look at her dangerously while Mama Pandora smiles.
"Be patient, sweetie. It’ll be quick. Besides, don’t you want to enjoy the outside a little? Doesn’t being trapped in that place bore you?"
"I don’t need anything but you, Mama... I don’t like them. They reek of something filthy." Elysia starts insulting us for no reason whatsoever.
"..." I am the first to approach, standing very close to Mama Pandora while I look with contempt at this irritating girl.
"Do you know who you’re talking to, you ungrateful brat? I am Eclipsya, and as Pandora’s second daughter, older than you, you should at least respect us. And furthermore, how dare you tell our mother to shut up? Have you lost all sense of danger?!"
"...All this whining over a title?" She asks with disdain, making me clench my fist tightly.
"I earned this title when I was about one year old. Looks like we know who our mother’s favorite is."
"With those eyes looking like a zombie’s, I’m surprised you’re still alive. Are you sure you don’t want to grab a rope and choke yourself to death?" I say, grinding my teeth. This earns me a dangerous look from her.
"Losing to a ’zombie’ like me must be awful. What a failure." When she calls me a failure, I lose all composure.
"What could you have possibly done that was so great to surpass us then, huh? Mama Pandora, tell us — what does she have that could be better than us? Do you think this disrespectful brat clinging to you like a parasite, afraid to touch the ground with her own legs, is better than us?" I ask Mama Pandora, wanting to understand. Why didn’t we win the title, but this disrespectful bitch did!
