Broken Possessors of Infinite Regression Academy

“Are you two ready?”

“Yes! I’m so excited!”

“……”

“Nova, are you ready?”

“You’ll see! And stop calling me by my name! And don’t call the goddess by her name either!”

The demon god protested, but I deliberately made her say it herself because I wanted to tease her.

There was no need to do this with the goddess, or rather, I didn’t want to. The demon god was still grumbling, so a little teasing was fine.

“Okay, okay. I understand. Now that I see it, I get it.”

“Eek…”

Now that I was casually addressing them without honorifics, the demon god stomped her feet. Perhaps she wanted me to treat her more casually because she was acting like a child.

“Beatrice?”

“Y-Yes, I’m ready too.”

Beatrice was nervous, having just heard that what she had casually mentioned was about to come true. I had never seen her stutter like this before.

“I’m back, master. Erestika said she won’t be coming. She asked me to convey her apologies and said she’ll need to rest today. She also offered to take care of the others who are sick.”

“She’s not coming? Why?”

“I don’t know, master. She didn’t tell me why.”

“Hmm, that’s unexpected. I thought she was fine yesterday. Well, I guess she has her reasons.”

As I nodded, Nika smiled knowingly. It seemed like there was something going on, and she wasn’t going to tell me what it was.

If they didn’t want to tell me, I wasn’t going to pry. They wouldn’t hide anything that could harm me, so there must be a good reason for their secrecy.

“Okay, thanks for your hard work, Nika.”

“Not at all, master! Just give me your orders anytime!”

Nika, who had returned from being a maid of the Crate family to being the guild leader of the Eternal Guild, bowed respectfully. Beatrice watched her with a strange expression, perhaps surprised by her enthusiasm.

“What’s wrong?”

“It’s the first time I’ve seen Yustera so enthusiastic about something other than tasks related to the young master. I wish she would show this level of enthusiasm for her work as a maid.”

“Ahem! Let’s get going now!”

“Ah, wait a moment. There’s something I need to do before we leave.”

I cast a spell on the goddess and the demon god, changing their appearance. Their blue and gray hair became red and black, and their yellow and gray eyes turned blue and gold.

Their facial features still resembled Leona and Latina, but with the drastic change in hair and eye color, they no longer looked similar at all. The goddess tilted her head, confused.

“Do we need to change our appearance to go to Earth?”

“No, it’s not that. One of the people you resemble is quite famous on Earth, so if you went there looking like that, it would cause quite a stir.”

Considering the status and reputation of the Eternal Guild, it was no exaggeration to say that Earth would be turned upside down.

Latina was fine because she had been asleep for seven years under tight security, so not many people knew about her.

However, Leona was a different story. If she appeared as she was, there would be an uproar of media and tabloids claiming that a hidden daughter had emerged. And I would be labeled as the father who had been raising the two of them.

I didn’t want that kind of unnecessary fuss.

“Haha… I guess so.”

Leona smiled awkwardly, as if she had expected this.

“The dimensional door is ready, master.”

A blue circle appeared next to Nika, spinning clockwise. The goddess and the demon god stared at the dimensional door with sparkling eyes, perhaps fascinated by the interior design, which was completely different from what they were used to.

“Then, take care, Goddess.”

“Yes, we’ll be back!”

“Take care, Demon God.”

“……Okay. I’ll be back.”

Despite my repeated reminders, Latina stubbornly insisted on calling the demon god ‘Mashi-nim.’ The demon god seemed to have given up on correcting her, perhaps because Latina’s stubbornness rivaled her own, or perhaps because she was the one calling her that.

“Is this the place you mentioned, young master… Hyaaat?! Young master?!”

Beatrice, who had been muttering to herself in front of the dimensional door, jumped in surprise when I touched her cheek. She turned to face me.

“Why aren’t you going in?”

“I, I was just watching. How could I possibly go in before you, young master?”

“I don’t mind. Oh, by the way, calling me ‘young master’ is forbidden there. I almost forgot.”

“……What should I call you then?”

“Just call me Mira.”

“……”

At that, Beatrice froze, as if her system had shut down. Her lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but she seemed unable to get the words out. I gently pushed her back, and she stepped through the dimensional door.

Leona bid farewell to the goddess, and Latina awkwardly waved at the demon god before they both entered the new world. Nika was the last one to go.

Leona and Latina decided to stay behind. They wanted some time alone to talk about ‘that’ incident on the beach.

Yes, the sex they had on the beach.

“How’s this? Isn’t this normal enough?”

Nika winked at me as soon as the dimensional door closed, having changed her appearance.

“It’s too much.”

“What?! I’m wearing the same clothes as the head maid! How is this too much?!”

“Why are you dragging me into this, Yustera?!”

Beatrice shouted in surprise. The two of them were wearing skin-tight dark blue jeans and a light beige knit top that hugged their bodies.

For Beatrice, who was used to wearing floor-length skirts as a maid, this outfit might as well have been a swimsuit, and she felt extremely exposed.

“Why… why are you looking at me like that… young master…”

Her voice trailed off, and I smiled and patted her head.

“It suits you very well. You look pretty.”

“Y-You think so…?”

Beatrice’s eyes darted around, and I couldn’t help but laugh at her adorable reaction. Beatrice squatted down, overwhelmed with embarrassment. The demon god, Nova, clicked her tongue as she watched us.

“……You didn’t compliment me, though.”

And Nika, with the same outfit, pouted.

“You’re more sexy than pretty, so that’s why. How can you walk around on the streets wearing something so revealing? That’s why I said it’s too much. It’s too sexy.”

“Really?”

The pout instantly disappeared, replaced by a happy smile.

“Of course.”

It was the honest truth. To be fair, Beatrice did look sexy, but she wasn’t as overtly sexual as Nika, whose outfit practically screamed ’19+’ despite having no skin exposure.

“Hmm, in that case, I have no choice. I’ll cast an illusion magic along with it. The master said so, so I have to.”

Nika, being a succubus, was quite pleased with my words. She put her hand on her cheek and fidgeted, not knowing what to do with herself.

“You guys are having too much fun.”

“Y-You shouldn’t say such naughty things, sister.”

Instead of sightseeing at tourist spots, we decided to walk around Seoul and let them experience the world. The three of them were more curious about how the world of Earth looked than specific tourist attractions.

Thanks to Hunter, Gate, and Mana, many things had changed, but the modern world remained the same. It was completely different from the medieval Renaissance-style world in Laura’s novel.

This was more than enough to be a wonderful sight for the three of them.

Especially the two goddesses, who were curious about everything, showed interest in all sorts of things. Thanks to them, I had to cast soundproofing magic in various places to prevent them from sounding like uneducated children.

“I, human! What is this?”

“It’s called a car.”

“Then what’s this, human?”

“Do you want one? Do you want to try it?”

“M-Mmm, I never said I wanted to eat! And why are you speaking informally all of a sudden!”

“I want to try it!”

The goddess interrupted. The demon god was shocked.

“You traitor!”

“Do you not want to try it, sister? Don’t you?”

“Kuh… That, that is…”

“Really? Then I’ll just get one for the goddess.”

“……I, I’ll try it.”

In the end, the demon god gave in, and the two sisters each held a crepe in their hands, munching on them as they walked. I could see the happiness on their faces, and I decided not to tease them further.

Beatrice ate her crepe daintily, covering her mouth with her hand as she chewed.

“Is this what you call a crepe? It’s similar to what we have in our world.”

“Yes. It’s similar.”

Of course, the reason for this similarity was that Laura had created the world-building for her novel. It would have been impossible to create an entirely new dessert, so she had to borrow from existing ones. Otherwise, she would have been a dessert artisan instead of a web novelist.

Nika, with the illusion magic in place, licked the cream off her crepe with her tongue, but I ignored her since it was her own doing.

“Shouldn’t we sit down and rest for a bit? We also need to have lunch.”

“Yes. That’s a good idea. If we walk a little further from here… Hmm?”

Nika, who was walking ahead, stopped. In the distance, a group of hunters were huddled together, whispering to each other. I focused my senses and heard them asking if the other person was okay. Something must have happened.

“They must have gone beyond their limits with buffs and are now suffering the backlash.”

“They’ll take care of it. Let’s go.”

I was about to report it just in case something went wrong, but a healer with an awakened healing ability approached them, so I decided to let it go.

Healers with awakened abilities were rare, and hunters with kind hearts who would heal a stranger without compensation were even rarer. Here, as in the other world, healers were in high demand.

“What’s going on? Why isn’t it working?”

“Hmm? That’s strange. It should be working…”

At the mention of it not working, I stopped walking. I checked the badge on the healer’s arm—a B-grade hunter. A fairly high-ranking hunter’s healing ability wasn’t working, and a murmur began to spread.

“Ugh, ugh, ugh… Aaaah!”

The scream grew louder, and so did the murmur. The healer quickly made a decision.

“This is beyond my ability. I’ll contact an A-grade healing ability awakener or a doctor. Take him to the hospital, quickly!”

“Okay, let’s get him to the hospital!”

“Yes, let’s—”

Just as his companions were about to carry the fallen hunter,

“KWAANG!”

“KYAAAAAAAH!”

“What the hell is that?!”

The fallen hunter swung his arm, sending his companion flying. He flew about 10 meters and crashed into a car. Coughing, he spat out blood.

The healer instinctively backed away, and another hunter stepped forward to protect him. People who had gathered out of curiosity quickly dispersed.

“Umm… Master? The situation seems to be getting out of hand.”

“Yeah.”

A one-sided massacre ensued. Even with the addition of a B-grade party, they were unable to do anything against a hunter who had originally been in the lower C-grade.

It was a literal massacre. The word ‘dog’ couldn’t be more fitting, as the hunter had been torn apart, and it was a miracle that he was still alive. I handed my crepe to Nika.

“Hold this for me. You can have a bite.”

“Shouldn’t I be the one going instead? It would be better if you stayed here.”

“It’s fine. I think I know what this is.”

I had seen similar symptoms before.

In the deepest underground chamber of the Imperial Palace, with the Sword Saint.
