Chapter 61: Not a Good Morning...

(*Celia’s POV*)

Quickly retracting my head from Yona’s embrace, I was met with her very guilty expression. Wait… was this my doing while I was sleeping, or did she pull me into her breasts?…

Celia: “Explain. That is, unless you don’t mind going through the rest of your life without hands.” I say with an angry tone.

Yona: “…”

Celia: “?”

Yona: “You… You were crying in your sleep, so I ended up getting woken up by you. I decided to give you a hug, which made you stop crying. I was going to separate once you calmed down, but I fell back asleep…” She carefully explained.

Even without my Goddess powers, that allows me to know when someone is lying or not, I could tell that she was telling the truth. Ah, so this was just an accident, then. Whatever.

Celia: “Alright… Can you give me a new dress to wear?” I ask with a sigh.

Yona: “Yes. Here’s a set of lingerie as well. I will go set breakfast up.” She said before handing me a clean outfit, and then rushing off the bed.

With a small laugh, I got up from the bed and went behind the divider. Putting on a pure white dress, with pure white lingerie as well. It’s kinda funny, as Yona also likes wearing dresses. Even when we’re going to go kill a bunch of skeletons.

Yona: “Breakfast is set up, Lady Celia. Please eat while I go change.” She proposed.

Celia: “Okay.” I reply.

Sitting down at the table, I waited for Yona to get done changing. Speaking of which, why don’t I have a storage ring? Did I just forget to ask for one? Since Victoria’s family is more powerful than Yona’s, shouldn’t they have the funding to give me one?…

Yona: “Oh? You waited for me before eating? Thanks, Lady Celia. That makes me happy.” She said with a smile.

Ah, what a bright and beautiful smile… Too bad that smile is already claimed by Solia. Regardless of how well Yona does in seducing me, I can’t fall for her. She is my mother, after all.

Due to the weird start to this morning, breakfast was pretty silent. Yona said that she had to feed the horse before we could leave, and that I should wait in the tent until she feeds it. Thinking about it some more, does the Creator have an incest fetish?…

Creator: “Your constant slander is sinful and wrong, Celia!” She yelled in my head.

Celia: “Slander?” I reply.

Creator: “Okay… I do find incest between women pretty arousing, but it’s not like I have a fetish for it. Besides, I wouldn’t arrange something like that.” She explained.

Celia: “Really?” I ask.

Creator: “I swear that I didn’t make Yona fall in love with you. As entertaining as it is, I do have a bottom line, after all.” She said with a pout.

Celia: “A bottom line? I truly doubt that you have something like that.” I say with a smug tone.

Creator: “I do have a bottom line, Celia.” She defended.

Celia: “Really? Like I said, I doubt it. If you had a bottom line, would you have torn my family apart and forced me to play in your games, just for your own entertainment?” I ask with an annoyed tone.

Creator: “If I didn’t have a bottom line, I would just kidnap and mind control you. Despite my lack of seduction, you’re very, very attractive to me, Celia. If I had my way, you would be at my beck and call at every minute of the day.” She said with a seductive whisper into my ear.

I didn’t even notice her appear next to me, and she also quickly disappeared within seconds… Okay, I understand. I guess that I am just too damn attractive, so all my problems come from that.

Creator: “You’re a silly girl, Celia.” She said with a giggle.

Celia: “Whys that?” I ask, still in my head.

Creator: “It wouldn’t matter if you were some baggy and ugly old lady. Your soul is what attracts people the most. You being beautiful is just a bonus.” She explained.

Celia: “Is that true?” I ask with a raised eyebrow.

Creator: “Yes, it is. Don’t think about using disguise magic to make yourself appear ugly. Such a method would only work for the first meeting with someone.” She replied.

Celia: “And what about Yona? Isn’t she confused due to our original connection?” I ask.

Creator: “She isn’t. Yona has no memories of you at all. That includes emotions. In fact, if she didn’t end up as your mother, Yona probably would have tried to marry you. Deep down, she does have romantic feelings for you. But she just buries them, as she is your mother.” She answered.

Celia: “…”

I kinda wanted to talk about more, but Yona came back inside the tent.

Yona: “The horse has eaten, so we can leave now. Are you ready? We actually made good time yesterday, so we should make it to that town before the day is half over.” She informed.

Celia: “Hm… Okay. Let’s go.” I reply.

Before leaving, Yona had to store everything back in her storage ring again, but separated. It seems that those rings aren’t as useful as my spatial storage magic. If it was me before I came to this dimension, I could have stored the entire tent as it was.

Yona helped me up onto the horse again, and then we set off. Of course, that was after we walked back to the dirt road. The ride was silent, but we did meet a caravan along the way. They informed us that we should turn around, as a town not that far away has been taken over by a necromancer. We didn’t heed their warning, and we just continued on our way. That town was our goal, after all.

Yona: “About last night… I am sorry.” She said with a remorseful tone.

Celia: “It’s fine. Thank you for comforting me last night.” I reply with a warm tone.

Yona: “…I guess I get to keep my hands, then?” She jokingly replied.

Celia: “Well, that depends… This trip still has more time left in it.” I reply with a laugh.

Yona: “…”

Once again, the ride was silent. We really didn’t have that much to talk about. Both Yona and I are the quiet types, anyway. Solia was a talker, and so were Nia, Lia, Ria, and Tia. Maybe that’s why I saw Yona as my mother so quickly? We have similar personalities.

Yona: “Would you have really cut my hands off?” She asked, after ten minutes of silence.

Celia: “No. But I would have done something far worse.” I reply.

Yona: “What would that be? Would you have killed me, or something like that, Lady Celia?” She asked with a curious tone.

Celia: “Not at all. I couldn’t bring myself to harm such a beautiful woman like you, let alone kill them.” I reply.

Yona: “Then what? You’re making me more curious, Lady Celia…” She asked.

Celia: “I would have been upset, disappointed, and I would have lost all respect for you, Lady Yona.” I answer.

Yona: “…”

She didn’t reply, but I heard her mutter, “That would be even worse than if I lost all my limbs…” under her breath. Yup. She might not have said it, but that was the correct response. Ah, I am so proud of my mother! I will even overlook the fact that she is trying to seduce me! Wow… that sounded more fucked up than I thought that it would sound…
