Chapter 533: I DON’T VIBE WITH IT
[WOW, I can be so cringe-y sometimes.]
Neoma realized how corny her words were, but she maintained a dignified look on her face. Plus, it was worth it since she made Ruto blush.
“Hey, you can’t have that reaction to other girls, okay?” Neoma warned Ruto. “If you let other girls make you blush…” She trailed off, then she slapped her mouth gently. “No, I take it back. I’m sorry. I don’t have the right to tell you how to act around other people.”
“I don’t mind, though.”
“Even if you don’t, I do,” she said. “Because I’d hate it if you tell me how to act around other people. So, even if you like me so much to the point that you’d disobey your dictator of a divine father for me, you must STILL set your boundaries, Ruto.” She put a hand over her chest. “I am so full of myself that most of the time, I don’t even notice that I’m already being obnoxious. Don’t hesitate to call me out when that happens.”
“You’re not upset with me anymore?”
“Huh?”
…..
“You called me ‘Ruto’ again instead of ‘Lord Stroganoff,’” Ruto said, then he smiled at her. “That’s nice.”
[Gosh, look at this punk…]
“You didn’t listen to a word I said, did you?” she said, huffing. “Aigoo.”
“I listened well,” he said. “I’ll call you out when you’re being obnoxious. But I’m not sure if that will ever happen since I really don’t mind your personality.”
“You’re just saying that now because you don’t have your memories.”
[You aimed your arrow at me in the past, you know?]
“Anyway, I’ll go ahead,” she said. “I need to talk to my dear parents.”
After all, she noticed something in Nero that bothered her.
“Wait, Princess Neoma,” Ruto said, and he sounded and looked more serious this time. “I have something else to tell you.”
“Gosh, and here I thought you waited for me here because you can’t get enough of me.”
“I’d like to confirm that, but I must hold back for now,” he said, then he quickly changed the subject. “About Prince Nero…”
“Ah, did you see it, too?”
As expected of the man who gained the right to stand beside her.
“I did,” Ruto said, nodding. “Prince Nero gained possession of a god.”
She almost choked on her saliva. “That was a GOD?! I thought it was just a Spirit.”
Of course, she wasn’t looking down on the Spirits when she said ‘just.’ She was simply surprised that her twin brother had taken possession of a god.
“No, I’m pretty sure it was a god,” Ruto said casually. “It’s not a major god, but it’s not a minor god either. It was hiding its real identity, so I can’t really gauge its strength. Though I can say that right now, Prince Nero’s god is pretty much stronger than an average god.”
“Oh my god,” she said, then she unconsciously grabbed Ruto’s arms. “What should I do, Ruto?”
“What did you do?”
“I…” Neoma said, then she gulped before she continued. “I strangled it earlier.”

[A few minutes ago…]
“NERO, before you leave…” Neoma said, then she trailed off when she stood up. “Can you step aside for a moment?”
Nero laughed as if he already knew what she was about to do, then he stepped aside.
As soon as her twin brother was literally out of her way, she caught the thing that was bothering her the moment Nero appeared.
She “caught” it by grabbing it by the neck.
[It seems like a Spirit.]
To be honest, she couldn’t see it clearly. All she saw was a silhouette of a grown woman. But she could hear it. It kept on giggling and whispering in Nero’s eyes.
That would be fine if it was a harmless whisper.
However, she noticed that Nero’s Mana would fluctuate every time the Spirit would whisper in his ear. Plus, there was even a moment when her twin brother’s eyes turned red briefly. She could have just ignored it since it looked like Nero was acquainted well with the Spirit.
But her big sister mode was triggered.
“Nero, I don’t vibe with this little Spirit of yours,” Neoma said coldly while staring at the silhouette. She hated to admit this, but she couldn’t really see it except in its hazy form. “What are you doing to my little brother, huh?”
“I’m not your “little” brother,” Nero complained. “We’re twins, so we were born at the same time. A few minutes don’t count as an age gap.”
Gosh, the hypocrisy.
[You’re saying that now, but you kept on calling me your baby sister when we didn’t know yet that I’m actually older than you by a few minutes.]
Thus, she ignored her twin brother’s complaint.
“You feel ominous,” she said, talking to the Spirit that she couldn’t see. “I feel the urge to exorcise you. Why is that?”
The Spirit screeched at her.
Of course, she screeched back- shocking the Spirit who was suddenly rendered speechless.
Nero, on the other hand, laughed as if he was amused. “Neoma, did you just screech back at Larissa?”
“Larissa?” she asked, then she turned to her twin brother. “That’s the name of the empress palace.”
Blanco Palace was for the Crown Prince.
Luna Palace was for the royal princesses and princes that weren’t chosen as the successor.
Yule Palace was for the emperor.
And Larissa Palace was for the empress.
[The palace that my Mama Boss can’t use…]
Anyway, those were the four main residences in the Royal Palace.
[Come to think of it, why wasn’t the empress palace named after my grandmother Roxana?]
“That’s right,” Nero said. “But it’s not like only one person may use the name ‘Larissa.’”
“Well, you have a point. However, I don’t think it’s a coincidence that a Spirit that has the same name as the empress palace has come to you, Nero.”
“Who cares?” he said, shrugging. “I have it under my control anyway.”
“Just when did you get this Spirit?”
“Neoma, you received the ability to create a Hellgate during your Lunacy phase, didn’t you?”
“Oh?” she asked, surprised. “You received this Spirit during your Lunacy?”
He nodded. “So, please don’t kill Larissa. Her ability is useful.”
“But she makes you unstable, Nero,” she said sternly. “This Spirit is dangerous.”
“I can handle it, Neoma.”
Well, she couldn’t say anything now since it was Nero’s business. Her twin brother never asked her to stop Skewer even though Skewer was dangerous for her because of its Darkness attribute that a de Moonasterio wasn’t supposed to have.
Thus, she must respect Nero’s choice. ｂ𝚍ｎｏｖ𝚕．ｃｏｍ
“Fine,” she said. “But I need to tell about this to Mama Boss and Papa Boss. I won’t return to the empire for a while, so I want them to keep a close eye on your Spirit in my place.”
He shrugged. “Nothing will change even if you tell our parents, so go ahead. I will still use Larissa’s ability whenever I want.”
“You’re really a brat who has no sense of danger.”
“Like you have the right to say that when you’re the same,” Nero said, frowning. “You’re the one who doesn’t have a sense of danger, Neoma.”
“Touche,” Neoma said, then she turned to the Spirit. “Larissa, if you harm my twin brother in any way, I’ll feed you to my Hellgate and make you suffer for eternity.”

[Back to present…]
“I EVEN threatened Larissa,” Neoma said, then she thumped her chest with her fist. “Now I know why the gods hate me.”
Ruto looked at her as if it was amused. “Well, you only did that because you believe Larissa is a threat to Prince Nero. Don’t worry about it too much.”
She let out a sigh. “Yeah. There’s no use crying over spilled milk anyway.”
“Uh-huh.”
“Gosh, Nero is really something,” she said. “I’m half amused-half jealous that a god likes him. Aside from Lord Yule and my Grandma Roxana, I think all the other gods hate me- including Lord Levi.”
“You don’t like them either, do you?”
…..
She laughed at Ruto’s remark. If that was his way of consoling her, then it worked. She was glad that he didn’t say anything cliché like “don’t be jealous,” or “you’re amazing in your own right, too.”
[He really knows me well even though he lost his memories.]
“I don’t think that you’re the people pleaser type, Princess Neoma,” he said. “And about my divine father, you don’t have to listen to him. I don’t, either.”
Again, she laughed.
[Ruto is really still my Ruto.]
“Okay, I won’t listen to anyone who hates me,” she promised him. “Anyway, I really need to go.”
“Tell me where you’re going,” Ruto begged her, giving her the puppy dog eyes that she couldn’t refuse. “Please?”
Argh.
She couldn’t say no to that face.
“I’m going to the Lawless Jungle.”
“What?!” Ruto asked, then his eyebrows furrowed. “That’s a Forbidden Zone because it’s dangerous, Princess Neoma.”
“I know,” Neoma said, shrugging. “That’s why I didn’t want to tell you.”
***
“AH, FINALLY!”
He almost forgot what the human world look like.
The Devil was indeed the devil for making him work like a slave for the past few years. But he didn’t mind since all the hard work that had been through was for his Moon Princess anyway.
And now that their hurdle was over, the Devil gave him back his freedom.
“Trevor, let’s go,” Gin, his partner for this mission, said impatiently. “The security here in East Continent is tighter compared to the West Continent. There are deities here who work for the God Slayer, so we must be careful.”
“It’s not like we’re going to fight them all,” Trevor said, then he stretched his long arms. “We just need to grab Princess Neoma and go1.”
