Chapter 71: June Isn't Just a Month.

(*Celia’s POV*)

Upon entering the cellar, we were met with a long hallway. Unlike the entrance and the house above, the underground area was clearly recently constructed, and was of decent quality. A good hideout, I guess?

The little girl, who couldn’t be older than 11, led us further into the hideout. We soon came upon a door, whose room had light emanating from in it. So… will we finally meet this Princess June?

Thief: “June, it’s me. Open up already.” She said after she did a secret knock.

A cute maid was the one who opened up the door for us. In the room was a beautiful young lady, with almost pure white hair. So this is June?

June: “Yin, who are these people?” She asked with a serious tone.

Yin: “Strong and kind people. Look, they even gave me this much Orichalcum Celestium!” She explained with a happy smile.

June: “…For what purpose?” She asked us.

Celia: “She tried to steal from me, because she assumed we were horrible nobles. But we aren’t even from this continent, and our kingdom isn’t ran like yours.” I reply.

June: “How different is it, then?” She asked with a curious tone.

Ria: “We, or rather, Celia, who is a princess, and her mother, almost run our entire continent. There is no such thing as slums, or homeless people. At the very least, the people live close to what a noble here would live like.” She explained in my stead.

Celia: “On top of that, the nobles lives life even more luxurious than even the queen of this kingdom does. That is, I assume.” I say with a proud tone.

June: “And you plan on helping me out with mine? Why?” She asked with a thinking pose.

Celia: “One of my mothers, Queen Yona, was injured in battle from a Rot Goddess. To this day, she still sleeps. We came to this continent to find a solution.” I explain.

June: “That… This isn’t a false promise, but I might be able to help you out.” She said with a confident tone.

Yin: “For as long as I’ve known June, she has never told me a lie, so you can believe her!” She advised with a smile.

Hm? This Yin girl sure seems to respect June a whole bunch… But what is a noble, if not someone that is good at lying? And a princess, no less… Can we really trust her words? Ah, that nod from Ria says, yes. Nice!

June: “To get my help, we need to take over this kingdom from my mother.” She explained.

Celia: “And I doubt that would be an easy task.” I say with a sigh.

June: “That it won’t be… If only I was a protagonist in some shitty Isekai novel, then I could easily deal with this situation…” She said with a sigh of her own.

Wait… did she just say what I think she said? Does that mean that she is a reincarnater as well? What are the odds… Even Ria was shocked by this revelation…

Help support creative writers by finding and reading their stories on the original site.

Yin: “There you go again, June. Saying things that make no sense.” She said with a giggle.

At her words, Ria and I burst out in laughter. Both Yin and June were confused by our reaction, but it was just too funny to not laugh at. We couldn’t explain ourselves until we stopped laughing.

Celia: “Little Yin, could you please leave us to talk to June alone?” I ask with a warm tone.

Yin: “Of course!” She replied before quickly leaving the room.

June: “What do you want to talk about, and what was with that reaction? I didn’t say anything funny, after all…” She asked with a confused expression.

Celia: “Anime, Games, Manga, TV, Cars, Airplanes, is that enough?” I ask with a smug tone.

June: “…”

Ria: “Take your time to process it, we’ll wait for you.” She said with a giggle.

June: “You two… you’re reincarnaters, just like me?” She asked with a shocked tone and expression.

Celia: “Yes, but this world isn’t what you think it is.” I reply.

Ria and I took turns explaining to her what this world actually is. Oddly, she didn’t die in this world in a different time, but was literally from a different dimension. So, unlike me, who is from the past of this world, she is an outsider.

As you would expect, and similar to Sarah’s assumption, this was just a normal fantasy world that they had got trapped in. June had a hard second life, as her mother constantly tried to off her, even when she was a child. Her having memories of a past life, was all that kept her alive this long.

June: “How many people have even reincarnated into this dimension?” She asked with a curious tone.

Celia: “That isn’t something that we know of. Ah, but we’ve met the Creator of this dimension, so maybe I can ask her sometime?” I reply with a thinking pose.

June: “…I am just going to pretend that I didn’t hear that…” She said with a sigh.

Ria: “That would be wise.” She said with a laugh.

June: “Okay, with three reincarnaters, we can surely turn this whole situation around for the better!” She said with a confident and excited tone.

Celia: “No promises, but we will at least try. I do want to wake up my mom, after all.” I reply.

June: “I understand. Haha…” She said with a giggle.

Ria: “What’s that laugh for?” She asked with a curious tone.

June: “Nothing… Like me, I am just glad that you two didn’t get any cheats for being reincarnated.” She said with a happy sigh.

Ria: “I am long lived Goddess, so my existence is a cheat in itself.” She replied with a shrug.

June: “…I know, but…” Her words were stopped by my next words.

Celia: “I have a System, by the way! And, yes. It is just like those ones in the novels!” I say with a happy tone.

June: “…”

At that, June seemed to short circuit. Ah, shit… I might have screwed up by telling her that… Not because she shouldn’t know, but because it is quite the shocking thing to learn about…

June: “Damn… I can’t believe that I got screwed over like this…” She said with a sad tone.

Aw… the cute girl is sad now, and it is my fault… Fuck. I have to do something to turn this around! I can’t let a cute girl be sad when I can make them happy! It goes against my moral compass, after all.

Celia: “Um… Ria? Mind if I do something reckless?” I ask with a nervous tone.

Ria: “Can I stop you? I mean, I definitely could, but should I?” She asked.

June: “Please don’t live me in the dark…” She asked with a fed up tone.

Celia: “Okay, look, I can give you a System, but it requires us to kiss.” I explain.

June: “What!? Are you really just trying to get under my skirt, with such a shitty excuse!?” She yelled with an upset tone.

Celia: “No! We didn’t even have to do anything sexual! We just have to put our open mouths together, as my System is a part of my soul.” I explain with a hurried tone.

June: “…”

Ria: “Besides, Celia is married to three women, one of them being me.” She said with a laugh.

June: “Fine…” She said with a sigh.

Despite that method being banned, Amelie still insisted on exploring it further. From what she found out, was that she could give someone a System, but also only a base version of it. This still hurt her soul, but not as much as the first version of the method.

With the still slightly reluctant June, I put our mouths together. Following how Amelie taught me the method, I use the specific spell that she came up with. Once we parted our mouths, June was surprised. Meanwhile, I was in immense pain…

Celia: “Fuck… I am going to feel this for a week… Quick! While I am still willing to hurt myself for another’s benefit!” I exclaim before giving Ria a deep kiss.

Ah, now Ria can have a System too! Plus, the deep kiss was so good, that the pain was more than worth it! Oh, shit… I feel like my entire body is about to explode…
