Chapter 270
◇◆◇ (Gevaudan’s point of view)
『Hey hey hey hey!』
Arshella yelled fiercely and pointed at us.
『I knew it will end up like this!』
The Dragon girl’s eyes lit up as she pouted. She is enraged.
『Easy, Jibodan only fell in love with Titania because of domination.』
『Yeah, So don’t be flustered, Arshella』
Ferris and Lydia grabbed her arms and stop her.
『Domination?』
Titania brow twitching and laughed.
『–Fu fu fu……that is not it.』
『Hey stop……so as we say. Release Gevaudan!……』
『Aha』
Titania covered her mouth.
She was holding back a giggle even now.
『…………What’s so funny?』
Arshella’s expression changed to stiff and irritable ones. Even the two holding her arms were straining to do so.
『There is no such thing.』
『No what?』
『There is no such thing as the power of domination, as you people call it.』
『Then what happened in that Subhuman fortress?』
Ferris moves in front of Arshella.
『Isn’t that the proof that Titania like you can force others to submit by the power of domination?』
『No? I didn’t do anything.』
Titania denies it, perplexing the four girls.
In fact, I don’t remember having anything done to me either.
Titania then lets out a small sigh and moves across the room to stand in front of a large window.
The sunshine from outside framed her luscious figure in grains of light, making her figure appear heavenly.
『–It is because I am the incarnation of nature.』
『Incarnation of, nature?』
Abigail murmured.
Then the wind blew.
Titania’s beautiful black hair swirled in the breeze.
As she looks at us, a motherly grin arises from behind her hair.
『—As tears fall in the dawn light, cutting through the dark night.』
Titania started to chant like she is singing.
『Long for the fading sun as it dies away at the ocean’s edge.
Listen to the sound of the raging sea.
To wish upon the fading stars that tear through the night sky.
To let your thoughts be sucked away by gazing at the piercing blue sky.
To get absorbed in the ever-changing shapes of the clouds.
To feel the soothing chill of ice descending from the sky and brushing up against your cheeks.
To feel relief at the scent of rain originating from somewhere.
A dreamy fragrance carried by the wind at the foot of the mountain that lives on in your mind for the rest of your life.
Be captivated by the lush foliage on the ground as you look down from the mountaintop.
Allow the light that shines through the trees to purify your heart.
Listen to the sound of the chorus of birds chirping on the treetops.
Tastes the wonderful water that springs from the bed of the planet.
Think of the net of light running in the bed of a flowing river.
When you touch a leaf that glistens brilliantly in the sunlight. You feel a surge of strength
When you look at a tiny flower, you smile.
When you lie down on the ground, you feel the reassuring strength of the planet embracing you from behind.
When you look up to the moon as it travels through the desolate night, you dreams of countless stories.
When you look up at the stars that swam the night sky, your consciousness is lost in the cosmos…』
Titania caressed my cheek.
『When we are touched by nature, our hearts quiver. We reflect on who we are, and thus, we find harmony. And without anyone needing to tell you, You realize you are a part of a planet. You understand who you really are. Sometimes that’s the beginning of a complete turnaround in the way we live.』
Titania turned around and held up her hand.
『You are a bubble born from the workings of the stars. In other words, you are infants who cannot stop crying, seeking warmth. Hence, you wish to be subjugated to the mother planet, and in turn, to me. There are no other means to achieve true peace and tranquility.』
Then she continued, as if admonishing.
『The power of domination. you call it that to turn away from the reverence, worship, subordination, or desire to submit to the Mother Nature, something that you are inherently born with.』
『I repeat, I have done nothing to anyone. They look at me, bow their heads, and voluntarily drop to their knees.They are born knowing whom they should serve. But they refuse to accept it. To escape from this contradiction, they merely deceive themselves by wailing that they are being controlled by me.』
『–I can hear it. I can hear the score of death and destruction that is destined to this world. The song of life that is struggling desperately to hold on to its existence as time marches by. Woven into the grand orchestra of the world. And our clan is, in a sense, the conductor to this orchestra 』
『There’s no Domination……』Titania giggled.
『I am extremely uncomfortable with it getting referred by such a crude word.』
When she finished, she leaned closer to me.
No one said anything.
It turns into somewhat awkward vibe.
So I try to sum it up on behalf of all of us.
『So that means everyone is going to fall in love with Titania eventualy.』
Then, The air became somewhat stale.
I thought it was a good description…… My stomach feels a little heavy. I’ve made a classic TPO(time, place, occasion) mistake…….
『”tutelage” would be more appropriate. But put it simply, yes. Thank you, Gevaudan』
Titania looked up at me and smiled awkwardly. Thank you for the follow-up.
『Gevaudan is in love with me – with Mother Nature, and that’s it. There is nothing strange about that.』
Love is blind.
Many girls often change when they get a boyfriend.
I saw a girl who looked so meek and quiet. but the week after she got a boyfriend, she get herself a split tongue. I was stunned by that. But the split tongue is usually talked about for its effectiveness during kissing and fellatio, also cunnilingus as well. Why aren’t we born with split tongues? It would definitely be better that way. At that moment, for the first time in my life, I thought about evolution. What’s wrong with more diversity?
So basically, a person who is controlled by Titania means that they has fallen in love with her and has changed their mind. Well, in that sense, I may indeed be dominated, and there is nothing wrong with that. I don’t even realize that I have changed the way I think about life.
Love.
I feel happy when I think about it.
『–Isn’t that too crazy?』
Abigail rested her chin on the table and said suspiciously.
『How so?』
Titania looked at her disapprovingly.
『Then how can a mask like this prevent the effects?』
Abigail continues, tapping at the fox mask on her face.
『From your saying, there is something coming from you, something like pheromones that affect the brain. That’s why these masks can protect that isn’t it? And by that logic, why the others are unaffected when you got captured in Faymbaum prison? Wasn’t that because your power weakened and that’s why you can’t dominate them? Because if you are so capable of making people prostrate themselves just by looking at you, you can just easily used your influence to walk Gevaudan out.』
『That’s right!』
Abigail’s point was supported by Lydia.
『It takes a lot for Titania to completely control someone. I can’t be something so simple as falling in love!』
Lydia stood next to Abigail and squeezed her hand to encourage her.
『What do you mean, Lydia?』
『I heard that the domination is incomplete if its lack the name that tied to the soul.』
『……』
Abigail’s eyes began to shake slightly.
–Perhaps, they’re secretly talking about something through telepathy.
Come to think of it, she’s been obsessed with Abigail.
Well, now one topic is complete. I am quite happy.
『……You insolent monkey.』
Titania turns to Abigail.
『–what was that?』
『You, Homosapiens, the only intelligent species that just happened to reach Earth. In Miforsis, apes and humans are weak species that was extinct long ago. Selfish, lack vision, only capable to find affection only as far as the eye can see, they spend their lives fighting with each other in the fictional world in their head. A bunch of petty fools. It is laughable that you think that you can have an opinion about me.』
『……』
『That fox mask is
『
『That fox mask is probable originated from the self-centered god. In other words, it is held the aspect of blindness. To separate yourself from everything that surrounds you, closing yourself up in a shell of ego, you are turning your eyes away from yourself. In a way, this perfectly fits you as an Earthling, but beware. If you continue to expose yourself to such a cursed item which you were not born with. An excessive ego is inextricably linked to loneliness. Eventually, you will lose sight of yourself, and you will be alone in the darkness, fearing the embrace of death that will soon come.』
Titania smiles coldly.
『- it can only be called pity. You can’t live alone, and now that you’re keeping yourself away from nature. Do you want to end up being a lonely wanderer?』
『What are you trying to say!』
『Behave yourself.』
Titania said to Abigail, who kicked her chair and stood up.
『You are standing in the presence of the king of time and attunement, and also, his wife』
『Don’t talk so high and mighty. You’re just an “ex” now. I heard you died once. Gevaudan and you are still divorced.』
The four girls stands next to Abigail.
Titania’s smile froze and there’s a spark from the corners of her eyes…….
–Oh no.
My heart is racing, even though I’m not really a part of it.
They’re so hostile…….
This happens all the time. This has to stop. No more. It’s shortening my life span.
They should never meet in the first place.
Titania was much more bossy and egotistical than I expected.
And Abigail was just as stubborn.
–I mean, Abigail’s hit was just way too forceful in all areas.
I think I made quite a few enemies when I was at Fox too, but not as many as you. How many people do you have to make enemies with? After antagonizing 88, you still want to mess with the insect army as well? How can you stand so boldly in the face of aliens and giant insects? Did you forget the fear of insects after being with me so much? Strong-willed is not enough to describe it….are you invincible? What kind of childhood makes you like this? I kinda want to know now…
Even so, as one would expect, she was magnificent in standing her ground.
Realizing that a solo confrontation would be disadvantageous, she was improving her negotiating power by getting support from the four girls, starting with Lydia.
Lydia, Ferris, Arshella, and Tiriel are now in Abigail’s camp. Amazing.
Titania, on the other hand, is alone.
I’m not quite getting the situation, so I lean toward neutral. Natsuki and Yakumo are completely neutral too.
