Novel Full Chapter 720: I'm An Off-Worlder
The room became so silent that I was pretty sure I would be able to hear a pin drop on the ground even if the floor was carpeted.
Everyone was just looking at me after I told them about the fact that I was an Off-Worlder.
Errr… Are you girls going to say anything? Why are all of you so quiet? This is actually making me worried a little.
Just as I was feeling a little concerned about the prolonged silence, Katsuki was the first one to speak up.
“I must apologise, Mistress… But I already know about that.”
I blinked at her.
Truth be told, I’m not surprised she knew but I was more curious about how she knew.
She must have seen the look on my face because she continued, “I learned about Off-Worlders while training with Mary, Mistress. It was also deemed necessary for me to know about Mistress’s status as an Off-Worlder a few years ago to serve you better. That was when I knew.”
Ah, I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that happened. Mother already knew so by extension, Mary and probably Sebastian also knew about this.
And since they figured Katsuki would be by my side for the rest of our lives anyway, then she needed to know about the Off-Worlder stuff too.
I guess I felt a little miffed that they told her that behind my back but I could understand why they did it at least… It’s not like I told Mother to keep it a secret for me anyway and I low key kind of felt a little glad that it saved me the worry of having her freak out here.
Not that I think she would but it’s still better that she didn’t.
Hearing Katsuki’s words, Lisa raised her hand, “Erm… I also knew about this, Aster…”
I tilted my head at her, “It’s because of your Clairvoyance, isn’t it?”
My Infrid nodded, “I saw everything with it, including the arrival of the Off-Worlders in our World which led to you, Aster.”
“You don’t feel weird about this at all?”
“Eh? Why would I?”
“Because… I’m not actually part of this World?”
She tilted her head at me, “That doesn’t really matter does it? It just meant that you crossed Worlds just so that I could meet my soulmate! Is there anything more beautiful than that?”
Katsuki nodded, “Just because Mistress came from another World does not mean that your position in this World is reduced because of it.”
Nnggh… You’re making me feel all fuzzy right now, girls…
Tiara was next to speak up, “I… Also knew about it, Aster. Or rather… I knew about it, but I wasn’t really sure.”
“What do you mean?” I asked.
“My memories from the other versions of me. There were several where I came to know about you being from another World but I wasn’t really sure if that was just limited to that version of me because not every version of me knew that. So I wasn’t sure if you were also from another World or it was different for this version instead.”
“And you’re fine with it?”
She shrugged, “I don’t see why I would have a problem with it Aster? I was living at the top of a tower for most of my life you know? You’re the one who brought me out of that place.”
“Technically–“
“If you’re going to say technically it was my parents or even your mother, I would point out that you’re the one who saved my life, not anyone else. So please do not discount your achievements or I will take that as a sign that my life was not worth that much.”
Wow, since when did Tiara learn how to speak like that? That’s hot.
Emilia chuckled, “You already know that I know about Off-Worlders Aster. I won’t lie, I wasn’t completely sure about it until you said it yourself but I am not surprised to learn about this at all. It was quite a well known fact that the Matriarch of the Nilm Family was unable to bear children.
So when Off-Worlders started appearing and she suddenly disappears from noble society for a few years only to return with a child? It’s not that hard to put the two events together either.”
I widened my eyes, “Wait… Wouldn’t that mean other people could have figured this out too and realise that I… Well… Not me, but the person that everyone thinks is in my position, is an Off-Worlder, right?”
Emilia shrugged, “I can’t speak for the general intelligence of the people around but I could assume that a few of the people who are in the know about Off-Worlders might have also come to the same conclusion as I did. Though if nothing is confirmed… These would be nothing more than speculation anyway so I don’t think you need to be worried about that. Are you concerned about that though?”
“Mmm… Honestly not really… It’s not like I was actively trying to hide this fact anyway, which is why I’m sharing this with all of you now since I realised I haven’t…”
“If you’re that worried about it, I could get some of my contacts to spread some false rumours to lower the suspicion around that?”
I was about to agree before shaking my head, “It’s fine, I have a feeling Mother has it handled already.”
I noticed that Katsuki’s tail twitched very slightly and that was pretty much enough to confirm my suspicions.
Odeta was the next to raise her hand, “I know about Sister Aster being an Off-Worlder too!”
Ok, that was a surprise, but I had a guess.
“Did Katsuki tell you?”
She let out a bark of laughter, “Wahahaha! Nope! I knew because Sister Aster is special! And if Sister Aster is special, that means you are different from everyone else from the start! Wahahaha!”
Of course, and I think you’re also very special too, Odeta! She’s so cute~
That left Delmare who was fidgeting with her fingers and looking quite concerned for quite a while now.
Everyone also turned to her since she was the only one who hadn’t said anything yet and she definitely knew that everyone was waiting for her.
She sucked in a breath before exhaling, “I… I also knew about it… Aster… But… But I didn’t know what it meant until now…”
I blinked at her, “What do you mean?”
“Umm… You told me about this before, Aster…”
“Wait, I did?”
She covered her face, “I don’t think you remembered because you were entranced by my song that time… You mentioned about you being outside of this World but I thought you were just saying that you were special beyond this World… And I agreed that you were indeed special beyond this World so I thought nothing of it…”
Err… Ok, now that she mentioned it… I think I might have a vague recollection of that happening…
“Am I not supposed to know before tonight, Aster?” Delmare asked, clearly worried.
I shook my head, “No, no, it’s ok… I erm… I wasn’t really prepared for this to be the outcome… I thought that some of you might actually reject me or even stop associating with me after knowing I’m an alien…”
Odeta laughed, “Wahahaha! Wasn’t it you who taught us to accept each other for who we are and not how we look like, Sister Aster? You are my sister no matter what!”
“And you are my Mistress, Mistress. Nothing will change that,” Katsuki added immediately after her.
Lisa shifted closer to me while slipping her hand into mine, “And when I said we are soulmates, I really meant it, Aster~ Our souls are bound together where not even something like that would be able to bring us apart~”
Delmare nodded, “I think so too, Aster! After all… Ummm… I really like singing for you… And no one else… So… Umm… I’ll continue doing my best!”
Tiara smiled at me, “I don’t believe there’s anyone else in this World that would like cookies as much as I do aside from you, Aster. And I’m happy to share that with you.”
Emilia twirled a finger in her hair, “You’re also my boss now, Aster. You should be more confident in yourself. Not to mention the fact that you also saved my life too and I… I like… Ahem… I like the arrangement that we have so far.”
Ngghhh!! You girls really are just too cuuuute! I can’t take it anymore! That’s it! I’m doing what I’ve been holding myself back from doing all this while!!
I jumped onto them and first started groping Odeta’s abs before I went ahead to fluff Katsuki’s tail. Right after that I went on to grope Lisa and Delmare’s boobs before sharing a small cookie with Tiara.
Once I was done with all of them, I turned my sights to Emilia who had already retreated to the edge of the bed.
“No, wait! Not that!! I did not agree to this!” She protested.
“Girls…” I called out, unleashing everyone to rush towards her and hold her down on the bed.
Muahahaha! You can’t escape from me Emilia! It’s time for me to head pat you and fondle your ears!!
