Chapter 23 Tsukimi Shimo
“Tsukimi Shimo?”
Elus was startled because she seemed to have heard that name somewhere before.
“Yes, Elus, you can just call me by my name.”
“Tsukimi Shimo, Tsukimi Shimo… I remember now, you are an ancestor of our Kolotia family, Tsukimi Shimo · Kolotia!”
Elus took a deep breath. Her full name was actually Elus · Moon · Kolotia, and this “Moon” character came from the girl in front of her.
“Oh dear, I’ve been discovered? I still wanted to remain a little mysterious.”
The silver-haired girl smiled slightly. And her silver hair, which was like the moon? It was the best proof of the blood relationship between the two.
However, Elus remembered that Tsukimi Shimo had disappeared a thousand years ago, and there was no information about her on Earth then.
In that case…
“Senior Tsukimi Shimo, have you always lived on the moon?”
“Yes, but recently, I will be leaving here.”
“Eh?”
“Because I’m going to find little pillow Alice. If I let her wait for too long, she’ll cry and fuss, which is very annoying?”
Tsukimi Shimo tilted her head and suddenly showed a very mysterious smile.
“Alice… The Alice you are referring to, could it be the Sun Loli Goddess, Alice?”
“Yes, of course. Who else could it be among all the golden lolis in the world~”
“S-speaking of which… you are the mother of Sun Goddess Alice.”
“Ah!”
As soon as Elus finished speaking, her head was hit by the silver-haired girl.
“Don’t try to be clever! How could we be mother and daughter? We are lovers.”
“Hehe…”
The silver-haired Elus scratched her forehead and smiled sheepishly—she knew Senior Tsukimi Shimo would refute her, so she said it deliberately: “Then, in that case, did Senior Tsukimi Shimo and Sun Goddess Alice together give birth to my ancestor?”
“Yes, you could say that. However, the children are already…”
“Mm… Please accept my condolences. It’s normal for descendants to leave. My mother also mentioned you before, saying you were an elegant beautiful girl and that I should learn from you.”
“You’re quite a sweet-talker, kid. How about this? Although the辈分 is incorrect, I’ll still treat you as my granddaughter~”
“Thank you… Mm, thank you, sister!”
…
Elus was very clever. Although Senior Tsukimi Shimo treated her as a granddaughter, it didn’t mean she had to call her grandma.
However, the silver-haired girl shrugged and said a bit dotingly, “Then what about Lonis? Although you are very young now, if you go to the Land of Eternity, you might be called grandma by girls of your own age?”
“Eh?”
“Because the situation in the Land of Eternity is a bit special right now. If you enter and find a suitable partner, and then jointly obtain a suitable body, it might take 80 years, or even a hundred years. When you wake up, everything might have changed.”
“!”
Elus was stunned. Although she had made up her mind to use the Land of Eternity, she had never thought it would take at least 80 years.
In that case…
Everyone she knew would die.
She would be alone in this world.
But even so…
“Senior Tsukimi Shimo, it doesn’t matter. It’s just less than a hundred years, I can wait completely?”
“Have you decided?”
“Yes, because the Snow Kingdom is already a ruin. I have decided to recover everything, so even if I have to sacrifice everything, I will defeat the Trickster Demon.”
Elus seriously clenched her fists, hoping Tsukimi Shimo would recognize her will.
However…
“No, child, revenge is not everything. During your time in the Land of Eternity, learning knowledge is secondary. The key is that you must learn something.”
“Something…?”
“Yes, that is to know the meaning of life, to know what happiness is, and what joy is. Only in this way can you stay true to your original intentions in the currents of time, and even when experiencing the vast world, you can hold your head high and face any obstacle that dares to block your way.”
“!”
Elus was stunned and carefully pondered the elder’s teachings.
She knew that although these words seemed simple, they were not easy to achieve.
“I… I will try my best.”
“Lonis is a good child, I believe you will succeed… Ah, yes, there’s one more thing.”
“One more thing?”
“Lonis has never been in love, right? So, you don’t know how to deal with a lover?”
“Ah? Senior Tsukimi Shimo, how do you know about this…”
Mentioned about something in her heart, the silver-haired princess appeared somewhat uneasy.
“I can see it right away? In that case, in the Land of Eternity, Lonis should meet someone who is worth spending a lifetime with her, right?”
“Senior, perhaps… but I’m not going there to get married. Actually, I’ve never had any thoughts about getting married.”
Elus shook her head, her gaze appearing somewhat wistful.
“Even if it’s not marriage, when you meet the Hero, remember to be considerate of his thoughts. No one is perfect, everyone has some small flaws… even the Sun Loli Goddess Alice has some strange behaviors? Sometimes she runs around on the ground like a puppy.”
“Is… is that so?”
“Yes, so you must remember to be considerate of your partner and cooperate with him as much as possible.”
“Mm… Mm, I understand.”
“Okay, then let’s discuss how to enter the Land of Eternity together? Although those robots are a bit stubborn, they are not bad people themselves. I will take you and explain it.”
The two intelligent silver-haired girls thus planned their future together~
…
…
“Eh?!”
When Lonis snapped back from her memories, her surprise was beyond words.
Not only was it because she knew the relationship between the Sun Loli Goddess and Tsukimi Shimo, but also because she finally understood… the resolve Elus made before meeting her.
…
“Elus…”
Lonis looked up and wanted to say something to this girl.
However, Elus had already stood up from her seat, walked to Lonis’s side, and tapped her big head.
“Elus, wuwu… what are you doing?”
“I’m helping the little maid with physical amnesia! Because those things just now are this princess’s secrets, and they absolutely shouldn’t have been told to anyone else.”
“Uh?”
“But, considering that the little fox is loyal and has been following me to the moon, I’ll reluctantly let you know for now…”
“Wuwah.”
Elus didn’t hit hard, and after being tapped by the girl, Lonis understood her meaning, which translated as:
『Idiot Lonis, although I told you about the past. But it’s only to take care of you, not for you to look down on this princess.』
『So, it’s fine to know. Don’t talk about the past recklessly, otherwise, I’ll really activate the remote control for you and perform physical amnesia!』
