Broken Possessors of Infinite Regression Academy

“It’s because of you, human!”

“Because of me?”

Mini Latina, or rather, the demon god, pointed at me with her tiny hands. I was taken aback by the accusation. What had I done to deserve the blame for the goddess and demon god appearing in these forms?

‘…I can’t say I’m completely clueless.’

In fact, I had more than a few guesses, though I couldn’t be sure. If I had absolutely no idea, I would have been speechless.

“While my sister was gone, whose faith did the humans offer?”

“……The Holy Spear.”

“And whose faith did the succubi, one of the demon races, offer?”

“……Also the Holy Spear.”

“Exactly! The faith of humans and demons converged on the Holy Spear instead of us, so of course, we would be born from the Holy Spear! You planned this, you wretch!”

“Sister, it’s not right to blame the human. We shouldn’t jump to conclusions.”

The demon god patted my arm, and the goddess tried to stop her sister. I ignored them since it didn’t hurt at all.

Latina wore a strange expression as she watched this. It was probably because she found it odd to see a mini Latina-like child acting this way towards me.

“I understand why you appeared from the Holy Spear, but why do you look like this?”

“That’s also your fault! As the divinity converged on the Holy Spear, it affected us too! We took on the forms of the two people with the largest share of divinity in the Holy Spear!”

‘Ah.’

So, their forms had changed as a result of the divinity converging on the Holy Spear. Aside from me, Latina and Leona were the ones with the largest share of divinity in the Holy Spear, so it made sense.

Latina, of course, and Leona, whose power now came from the Holy Spear rather than the Goddess.

“No, Nova. Calm down. The human didn’t do anything wrong. If it weren’t for this, we would have all collapsed.”

The goddess tried to calm her sister, who was flustered. By the way, was the demon god’s name Nova? The goddess’s name was Equinox, so these sisters had names that didn’t seem related.

“How can you say he didn’t do anything wrong?! Because of him, He received all the faith that should have gone to us, and now I’m in this form! I can’t even use my powers properly!”

Despite her sister’s pleas, the demon god continued to pat my arm. I decided to put a stop to it, so I picked her up by her arms and lifted her up.

“Eek! Put me down, human!”

“How can I take orders from someone with no strength? If you promise to behave, I’ll put you down.”

“Eeeeeek!”

The demon god flailed her arms and legs, but with her small stature of just over 140 cm, she couldn’t reach me. Her limbs flailed helplessly in the air.

“Are you sure you won’t behave now?”

“Why should a ma, a ma, a ma…… KYAAAAAAAH!”

Before she could finish her sentence, I used physical enhancement to throw her straight up into the air.

The tiny body, barely over 140 cm, soared high into the sky and disappeared from view. She had literally been thrown so high that she was no longer visible. Everyone stared at the sky, dumbfounded.

“……What did you just do, Mira?”

“I couldn’t just let her keep acting that way. I thought she might reflect on her behavior when she comes back down.”

There was a limit to how much I could let it slide, even if she looked like a child. I needed to at least teach her some basic manners, even if I didn’t truly get angry or serious.

‘When she was just a thought entity, she wasn’t this childish.’

Of course, she did bicker with her sister through their voices, but she wasn’t this childish back then. I hoped that her mentality hadn’t regressed along with her physical form.

As I watched the goddess stare blankly at the sky where her sister had disappeared, I crouched down to match her eye level.

“Goddess.”

“Yes? Oh, yes. Human. What is it?”

“You said that you appeared from the Holy Spear because the faith of humans and demons had converged on it, right?”

“Yes. That’s correct. Normally, my sister has nothing to do with me, but because the succubi under your command offered their faith, she was dragged along as well. And the catalyst for our appearance was…”

The goddess’s soft cheeks turned bright red. Instinctively realizing what she was about to say, I quickly cleared my throat. Leona and Latina averted their gazes, as if they had made a silent agreement.

Nika looked at us with a very satisfied expression.

“Anyway, I understand. Is there anything else that might be a problem?”

“It’s a bit ambiguous to call it a problem… Well, my sister will definitely have a problem with it. We are now bound to the Holy Spear.”

“Bound to the Holy Spear? What does that mean?”

I was confused and couldn’t find the right words. The others seemed to feel the same. Seeing our confused expressions, the goddess hurriedly added an explanation.

“It’s not what you’re thinking. Our abilities as goddesses are still intact, but our individual domains are no longer the heavenly realm and the demon realm. They are now fixed to the Holy Spear.”

“……”

If the Holy Spear had become the domain of these two goddesses, I couldn’t use it casually anymore. I fell into thought, and the goddess added another explanation.

“Its function as a weapon remains unchanged, so you don’t have to worry. In fact, it may even be enhanced now that we’re inside it.”

Even so, it felt odd to use it as I had before. For now, I decided to seal the Holy Spear and study the relationship between us further before making a decision.

“Ho, ho, ho… Am I, am I, am I being a nu, nu, nuisance…?”

The goddess looked at me with eyes that seemed on the verge of tears. With her appearance resembling a younger Leona, she was indeed much cuter when she wasn’t acting like her sister.

I smiled and gently stroked her head.

“It’s not like that, Goddess.”

The goddess flinched at first but soon closed her eyes and accepted my touch. Beside us, the original Leona, who was much taller, pouted slightly as she watched us.

“Hey, Mira. I don’t want to ruin the mood, but when is the demon god coming down?”

“Perfect timing. Look, she’s coming down now.”

We all looked up at the sky. The distant scream of “KYAAAAAAAH” was getting closer.

“KYAAAAAAAH—EEP!”

I caught Mini Latina as she fell straight down, right back to where she had been thrown. I held her under her arms, just like before, and lifted her up again. Her eyes were wide with shock, and she was breathing heavily. She seemed to be quite startled.

“Do you want to try again?”

The adorable head shook vigorously from side to side.

“So, you won’t act up anymore?”

This time, the head nodded vigorously up and down.

If she had been like this from the start, it would have been much more comfortable for everyone. I handed the now docile demon god back to Latina. Latina took her and placed her on her lap.

“So, don’t pick a fight with Mira anymore, okay?”

Latina said as she stroked the demon god’s head. They truly looked like a mother and daughter.

“Is there anything else you need, Goddess?”

“……No, nothing.”

As I watched the heartwarming scene between Latina and the demon god, the goddess fidgeted.

“The world’s restoration is already underway without us, and this appearance of ours was completely unexpected…”

“Then, since you’re already here, why don’t you join us and have some fun?”

“……Huh?”

“Are you serious, Mira?”

“Of course. Why not?”

“Well, it’s not that it’s not possible… But still, she’s a goddess.”

“So, is that why you were playing with her like that earlier?”

“……”

Laura fell silent. If I took this stance, no one would be able to argue. After all, not long ago, they had all been playing with the goddess and demon god, treating them like cute children.

“Hmm, in that case, we have no choice. We’ll have to ‘personally’ entertain the two goddesses so they don’t feel lonely.”

Laura approached the goddess with a sinister smile, emphasizing a certain word. The goddess, seeing that evil smile, grabbed my hand tightly and hid behind me.

“Hoo…”

I sighed, a mix of alcohol and fatigue, and sat down on a foldable beach chair. The cushion conformed perfectly to my body. It was probably another magical item.

Far away, a bonfire that was a whopping 5 meters tall crackled and burned. From here, it looked less like a campfire and more like an exorcism ritual.

“Are you done drinking, child?”

Erestika sat down next to me. Fortunately or unfortunately, she was in her usual suit, not a swimsuit.

“I’ve had quite a bit. Have you cleared up your misunderstanding?”

“Hey, how long are you going to keep bringing that up? I told you it was a misunderstanding!”

Erestika’s face turned bright red as the embarrassing incident was brought up again.

The chairman had suddenly appeared through a dimensional door while we were preparing dinner and had immediately started harassing the demon god and the goddess, asking when they had made a child.

“A human child can’t be born that quickly. And you can’t just change your appearance like that.”

“S, stop… I’m embarrassed…”

Erestika squirmed in her seat.

At a glance, they did look like a mother and daughter. I averted my gaze. The demon god, pouting, quietly accepted the various seafood, meat, and sausages that Latina offered her.

At first, she had insisted that she didn’t need human food, but as soon as she took a bite, she became docile. Her eyes sparkled as she watched the grill, unable to look away.

When I teased her by asking her to repeat what she had said earlier, she blushed with shame, unlike her sister, who had happily accepted everything with a smile.

The reason the two goddesses could be so peaceful was simple.

“You all have low alcohol tolerance.”

“It’s because Erestika is too strong.”

The four of them had passed out one by one after drinking with Erestika.

As expected of a dragon, the chairman had an incredibly high alcohol tolerance. It almost felt like she was drinking water instead of alcohol.

Later, when they saw that Erestika was the only one still sober while they were all feeling tipsy, the four of them got competitive and brought out something even stronger than spirits, called “spirituous.”

Of course, the outcome was predictable, given that Erestika was here.

“What about the child? Are you okay?”

“I’m fine. It’s a bit dizzying, but I can handle it.”

Occasionally, Erestika seemed to double, but it was nothing compared to the demon god.

“It’s a bit dizzying…”

Erestika picked me up and placed me on her lap, and my head naturally nestled between her breasts. My field of vision narrowed significantly.

“Rest for a while, child. I’ll take care of you.”

“I’m fi—”

“Shh.”

Her long, soft arms wrapped around me. I felt something soft against my back.

“……”

Perhaps it was the alcohol, but I felt my eyelids growing heavy as I lay in her embrace. I thought that a short nap wouldn’t hurt.

“Yes… Sleep, child…”

Erestika’s voice grew fainter and fainter.

And then, a soft laugh.
