Broken Possessors of Infinite Regression Academy

“How long did we sleep?”

“A little over an hour.”

“Ugh, that’s a lot of sleep.” Rosalia yawned widely and stretched, naturally exposing her armpits and accentuating her chest, but no one nearby seemed to mind, including Rosalia herself.

Priscilla, still looking drowsy, nodded off to the side. Laura and Elysier were being assisted by two maids, wiping off the suntan oil from their bodies.

Although they were colleagues in the Eternal Guild, Nika inwardly preferred to be treated as a subordinate.

It was complicated to be friends with the master and the other four, who were already very close. It was easier for her to be treated as a subordinate, whether as Nika or Yustera.

That way, she felt more like she belonged to her master.

“By the way, where’s Mira?”

“I don’t see Latina or Leona either.”

“He went to look for them,” Nika summarized what had happened before they woke up.

They had slept so soundly that the master suggested going to the beach with the remaining people, not wanting to wake them up. When they returned, they found the icebox left open and the alcohol inside missing.

Based on various clues, it was suspected that the culprits were Leona and Latina, who had been missing even before they went to the beach. So, Mira had gone to look for them.

Laura opened the icebox after hearing the explanation. Indeed, the number of bottles had decreased significantly—seventeen to be precise—as she had been the one to fill it.

“…That means we slept so deeply that we didn’t even notice someone taking the alcohol right next to us.”

“Well, it’s not really a problem. We can just buy more alcohol. Let’s be positive. Just think of it as taking a one-hour nap in the afternoon.”

After Laura and Elysier, it was now Beatrice’s turn to attend to Rosalia, helping her wipe down her body.

Despite lying in the summer sun for over an hour, coated in suntan oil, her skin remained milky white without a hint of redness. She truly had a blessed body.

“When did Mira go to look for them?”

“The master said that if they don’t return in 20 minutes, we should wake up our friends and start preparing dinner.”

“20 minutes? Does it take that long to find them?”

Priscilla furrowed her brows. It wasn’t a big island. Even if they were hiding, they should have been found by now, considering the time it took to use detection magic.

“Maybe they’re sitting somewhere drinking alcohol together.”

“I doubt it. He went to look for them.”

They all dismissed the possibility of not finding them. Of course, it wasn’t like they were searching the entire empire; it was just a small island, so how could he not find two people?

“What I mean is, they might have planned this from the start. They could have intentionally hidden themselves to make Mira come looking for them, and when he arrives, they’ll force him to drink with them.”

“That’s a pretty scary plan if it’s true.”

“Do you think so? If I were them, I would have thought about why they disappeared in the first place.”

“…”

Laura gave Elysier a look of disbelief, but deep down, she couldn’t completely rule out that possibility.

Knowing Mira’s personality, he wouldn’t be able to refuse if the two of them teamed up to persuade him, just like the four of them did that to him here.

“Let’s wait a little longer. If they still don’t come, we can go look for them…”

Just as Priscilla suggested waiting a bit longer, a dazzling golden light rose from the other side of the island, as if the sun itself had descended onto the land.

“Mira! What happened? Are you okay?!”

Familiar faces rushed over from afar. Apparently, they had seen the light from that distance.

It was a powerful glare, bright enough to be seen from the other side of the island, though it was harmless to the eyes thanks to the holy power.

“…”

“…”

Leona and Latina, who had somehow managed to straighten their clothes in time, awkwardly sat on a rock behind them, pretending to be nonchalant. There was an awkward distance between the two.

Even though they were half-drunk, the embarrassment of kissing and intertwining tongues, and even sharing saliva, had finally caught up with them.

Fortunately, those who came here didn’t seem to care about that.

“Mira, why is he like this?”

“I don’t know…”

The Holy Spear was floating in the air, absorbing all the ‘aggro,’ as they called it. Although it wasn’t as bright as it had been the first time, it was still glowing brightly enough to be seen from the other side of the island.

I really didn’t know why it was doing that. Just as I was thinking about doing it again while looking down at the half-naked Leona and Latina, the light suddenly gathered and… well, that happened.

“Could that be the reason you couldn’t come? Were you trying to figure out what was going on?”

“Uh… yeah. That’s right.”

I ended up answering yes on impulse, worried about what to say if they asked why I hadn’t come back for more than 20 minutes. Fortunately, the excuse that came to mind was a good one, and I responded automatically.

I couldn’t say that I had been having sex with Leo and Latina, even if my mouth was torn open. Not here, at least.

Fortunately, it seemed like they were half-convinced because it was Leona and Latina.

“Hmm…”

Except for one person: Nika.

Nika narrowed her eyes, looking back and forth between Leona, Latina, and me, then gave me a meaningful smile as if she knew I was lying.

Indeed, Nika was a Succubus Queen, so she would have easily figured out what happened here. After all, she was the first to notice something was up with Priscilla and Laura as well.

Nika’s lips moved very slowly, enunciating each syllable: “You. Did. That?”

As my expression became ambiguous, her lips moved again: “All. Three. Of. You.”

“…”

Nika smiled widely, seeing my even more ambiguous expression. It was a smile that said she would definitely ask for an explanation later. I nodded quietly, and only then did she avert her gaze.

“Can’t you put it back?”

“I tried to dismiss it as usual, but it stayed the same.”

If I had known how to fix it, I would have handled it myself. I had left it untouched as it wouldn’t move and the dismissal didn’t work.

“Huh?”

Just then, the Holy Spear shone even brighter, and a radiant golden halo appeared above Rosalia’s head. Rosalia, startled, grabbed the halo and pulled, but it didn’t budge.

“What is this?! Why did it suddenly appear?!”

I recalled that she had mentioned that when her holy power increased, a halo would appear on its own, regardless of her will. I thought she had learned to control it since I hadn’t seen it in a while.

Soon, the Holy Spear resonated with the halo, emitting an explosive light that instinctively made me cover my eyes, even though it wasn’t actually blinding.

When the light subsided…

“What are these?”

Two children, resembling a younger Leona and Latina, had appeared. They looked like elementary school students.

.

“So, it wasn’t a big deal?”

“Yes, it was just something related to the Holy Spear. I’ll explain when you arrive.”

“In that case, I’ll tell the professors that.”

“Understood. Do you know when you’ll be arriving?”

“Hmm, I think it’ll take at most an extra hour or two. I’ll try to get there as soon as possible, so don’t worry.”

The communication ended, and I let out a long sigh inwardly. I turned around and saw, in the distance, two short girls surrounded by women. They were the source of my sigh.

They stood at a height of slightly over 140 cm, with faces that resembled Latina and Leona. Even their outfits matched—one in a gray nun’s habit like Latina’s, and the other in the academy uniform like Leona’s.

“…At least they’re not in swimsuits.”

If they had copied what Latina and Leona were currently wearing, one would be in a rash guard and the other in a bikini. That would have been truly horrifying, given their elementary school student-like appearances.

“Are they the goddess and the demon god you mentioned?”

In reality, they were the goddess and the demon god, but…

“Yes, yes… they are.”

“Wow, look at that! Her cheeks are so squishy! She’s so cute!”

“Hey, stop touching me without my permission! What are you doing?!”

“With that attitude, you’re not scary at all. Just give up quietly.”

And now, the two little girls were being surrounded and petted by Priscilla, Laura, Elysier, and Nika. The goddess quietly accepted their touches, but the demon god was at her wits’ end, trying to break free.

However, her tiny rebellion was easily subdued, and she was petted again. Priscilla, Laura, and Elysier seemed to be enjoying this, and Nika was no exception.

“It feels strange. It’s as if we’re the ones being touched.”

“I know what you mean… It’s weird.”

Latina and Leona watched from a distance with awkward expressions. It must have been a strange sight to see themselves as little girls being handled like dolls.

“I thought a child was born from the Holy Spear for a moment there.”

“That’s a ridiculous idea, but it makes sense. I thought the Holy Spear reacted because of the combination of you, the Light Hero, and the nun.”

We moved a little further away and let out a sigh of relief. The timing had been unfortunate, and we had been worried that our intimate activities had caused the appearance of these two girls. Moreover, their appearances resembled Leo and Latina so closely.

“…The ancient goddess looked like Aria, didn’t she?”

Blonde hair, blue eyes, and a slender body. While the blonde and blue-eyed combination was a common fantasy trope, none of my acquaintances had that hair and eye color combination except for Aria.

However, I wondered why they appeared in these forms now.

“Eek! Let go of me!”

The demon god, unable to take it anymore, broke free from the petting by grabbing the goddess’s wrist and pushing through the four women.

In reality, they had let her go on purpose. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be watching her walk towards me with such warm smiles, given her short stature of slightly over 140 cm.

“Goddess. And… Demon God?”

“Why don’t you show me the proper respect, unlike the last time?”

The demon god grumbled.

Miraculously, both the goddess and the demon god retained their memories from before their sacrifice. It was truly fortunate that they didn’t have to face the gods or be expelled from this world.

“We’ll talk about that later. For now, what happened? Why did you appear from the Holy Spear?”
