Chapter 190: Yug, King of the Spirits

“So, Sophie?”

“What is it?”

“Well, I’d like you to let go of me now”

“Eh~? No way!”

Sophie’s personality has regressed to that of a toddler. If that were all, it would be great because she is just cute, but there’s also a kind of black haze. And it seems to me that she’s Sophie and not Sophie at the same time.

“Zero! Sophia-chan is possessed by a devil!』

“What? A devil?』

“I don’t know if she was forced to be possessed, but her status is much higher than normal. But as a result, her ego has gone crazy.”

“But she’s okay, right?”

“Does this look okay to you?”

“………”

She doesn’t look sane by any stretch of the imagination, so I guess she’s not okay.

“Do you want Sophia back?”

“I want her back.”

” I understand. Wait a minute.”

“Yug stopped talking after saying that. I wanted to ask Zeal what was going on, but he was in the middle of descending spirits, so he couldn’t tell me anything.”

“Ne… ne? Who were you… talking to?”

“The  spirit king”

I was honest about it, but I regretted it a little. Maybe I should have said something different here.

“Heh, you can afford to talk to other women when I’m so close to you?”

“Ow, ow, ouch! My neck…!”

“How can I make you see me as a woman? Can’t you look at me as number 1? As I thought i have to seal the deal.”

Sophie tightens her embrace. This caused my neck to close up a little. A spear of water came flying at Sophie. I was so busy trying to break Sophie’s embrace that I didn’t notice it until it hit her.

“What?”

But even though the water spear had hit Sophie’s head, she had not been damaged at all. By the way, it was Elira who fired the water spear. I mean…you can’t just shoot it at her head without hesitation.

“Do you also want to interfere in me and my brother’s love?”

“At the very least, I’m hundreds of times more worthy of being with your big brother than you are right now, don’t you think?”

“I’ll kill you.”

“Oh, by the way, that mock battle we had earlier didn’t end well, did it? I’ll play with you”

Sophie said and moved away from me. She was about to turn to Elira.

“Brother, back off a little. I can’t kill her.”

“I can’t.”

If I let Sophie go now, she would really kill Elira. So I stood in front of her and blocked her way.

“If you don’t retreat, I’ll knock you out, okay?”

“Zero! Release the spirit descent!”

Yug said to Sophie’s line. I immediately canceled the descent of the spirit. Suddenly, I felt an endless flow of magical power flowing into my body.

“Give that magic power to Yug!”

“I did as I was told and gave the surplus magic power to Yug. I gave Yug the surplus magic power and embodied her as it was”.

“Oniichan, are you going to kill each other with me?”

“Huh? of course not. Yug just did it unilaterally.”

And just as Sophie was about to make her move, Yug made her move first.

“Gravity.”

As Yug said this, Sophie crawled on the ground. Sophie struggled to move, but seemed completely unable to do so. It is impossible to do spirit descent with Yug, but it seems that as long as there is a significant amount of magic power, it is possible to use spirit magic with Yug.

“Let’s just peel off the demon for now.”

This time, as I said this, I turned my right hand into a gun-like shape and pointed it at Sophie, who was crawling on her knees. I was not worried about whether Sophie would be all right or not. I know what Yug wants to do. I am the one who is doing the spirit magic in Yug now. It’s just Yug who is the main player, and I am the one who uses the magic. So of course I know what I’m going to do.

“Divine Retribution.”

Then a divine light poured down from high in the sky toward Sophie. And it covered Sophie. And with this magic, I knew that Sophie had made a pact with the devil. I hope this contract is not disadvantageous like mine with Yug and Zeal….

“I’ll take care of the two devils, and you take care of Sophia, Zero.”

“Okay.”

“And I’ll explain more about what’s going on later. Roughly speaking, it’s about spirit users and the power of your new race. Also, I’m asking you to settle this as soon as possible, because I’m getting a little reckless with Zeal.”

“Got it.”

“While we were talking, the light from the sky stopped. On the ground, besides Sophie, two other women were lying there, looking as if they were in pain. I am sure these must be devils, and the other one is dressed as a maid.

“Repulsion.”

Yug said, and the two demons flew off into the distance. Yug went with them.

As Yug moved away, the magic disappeared and Sophie got up as well. Elira and the other elves tried to move, but I told them to keep their mouths shut and to stay out of it. Then they all moved away a little. Elira looked stunned…

”…is brother going to kill me from now on?”

I had hoped that with the devil away, her consciousness would have returned to normal. But that was not the case.

“I’m going to have a sibling fightwith Sophie.”

“Sibling rivalry?”

“Yes. you and I are going to fight one-on-one, fair and square. Whoever wins gets to say one thing to whoever loses.”

“Anything?”

“Anything.”

Sophie didn’t seem to be very interested in just calling it a fight between siblings, so I added a condition. Now I would no longer have to worry about Sophie harming the elves around her. I’m going to win, though, so there’s no problem. I’ve already decided how I’m going to use my victory condition.

“Do you have enough magic?”

“I’ve got a lot of it now that those devils are gone.”

“That’s good to know.”

I don’t have my  spirits and Sophie doesn’t have her devils.

The actuality is that magic power is almost unlimited for both of us.

The two of us have exactly the same conditions. Until now, only I had a contractor, a spirit, and only Sophie had almost unlimited magic power. But this time, for the first time, the conditions were exactly the same. And now Sophie would really come for me to get the right to say whatever she wanted to say when she won.

“Then, let’s begin, shall we?”

“Oh! Bring it!”

And so began a serious sibling fight between me and Sophie.
