Chapter 357 Noelle's Wild Conjectures
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Although Noelle didn't know what Emilia must have gone through for her to react like that, given the fact that she had died, it couldn't possibly have been anything pleasant to recall. So even if she was curious about it, the gray-haired girl decided to put the matter aside for now.
The crimson-haired girl's explanation of how she ended up here to save Danielle, and how she now wanted to conquer the world also brought up a lot of questions in her mind, but Noelle decided to put those off for another time as well.
Instead, what she focused on now was taking a long, careful look at the younger girl she was embracing.
No matter how she looked, there was no sign of 'disguise' or any form of illusion that she was able to notice.
Knowing Emilia's mischievous nature, for a moment Noelle couldn't help but wonder if the girl had just been joking about the whole thing. But recalling the girl's expression from before… it didn't seem like she was joking at all.
Although she didn't want to believe it, the gray-haired girl couldn't help but wonder if Emilia had some mental illness that made her believe everything she said before.
Noelle couldn't help but frown when she considered that possibility. "Emilia… have you ever talked about this to anyone else?"
The crimson-haired girl smiled. "Of course. Big sister knows all about it, oh, and Dixie and Crystal do as well."
There was also Michelle, but Emilia didn't mention her since the girl had fallen asleep halfway through her explanation, and even she wasn't sure how much the girl had been able to listen to and remember.
Noelle felt a little upset when she learned that she wasn't the first person to know about it, but thinking about how this might have been what the crimson-haired beauty wanted to talk to her about when she invited her over, the gray-haired girl could only blame herself for being too callous.
But that wasn't what was important right now.
Suppressing the reluctance in her heart, Noelle shifted upwards from the crimson-haired girl's soft embrace till she was able to look her in the eye while lying side by side. "Emilia… did you know that some people are able to dream about their past lives?"
The crimson-haired girl couldn't help but pout. "You don't believe me?"
Noelle coughed. "I-I'm not saying you're lying or anything! I-It's just… you said that you used to live in another world, died, and replaced Danielle to 'save her' and 'conquer the world', but…" The gray-haired girl gulped. "… Um, i-isn't it possible that you just 'recalled' your past life in another world? How can you be sure that you're not really 'Danielle'?"
Emilia blinked, feeling a little dumbfounded. "Because I didn't live as 'Danielle' for the entirety of her childhood?"
Noelle bit her lip in thought. "It's possible that those memories could have been 'sealed' in your mind after you remembered your dreams, right? W-Why don't we go to a psychiatrist, and—!"
Looking at the younger girl burst into a fit of giggles, Noelle pursed her lips in dissatisfaction. "Hey! I'm being serious here. There's no harm in just talking to a professional. A lot of people suffer from mental health issues without knowing about it, and there's no shame to—?!"
Being interrupted with a soft kiss on her lips, Noelle didn't know whether she should be delighted or furious at all.
Emilia sighed. "I guess I can only do this for you to believe me."
Thankfully, with her newly developed ability, she was able to save up to two images to shift into at any time, and she had naturally used them to save her original form as well as the slightly modified 'Danielle' version.
— Restoring the preserved appearance 'Emilia'!
— Skill [Shapeshift] remains available.
Although Noelle could tell that something had changed, the effect was obviously nowhere near as magical as when Emilia had shifted in front of Dixie for the first time. This was only to be expected, however, since the crimson-haired girl had slowly been modifying her appearance to be closer and closer to her original one.
Noelle hadn't been expecting any change in her at all, though. Did this mean that Emilia really came from another world as she claimed? She really wasn't Danielle? Noelle couldn't be sure.
What was undeniable, however, was that the girl must have some sort of supernatural ability. Whether it was really being able to change forms or just something that increased her charm, the gray-haired girl couldn't really tell either.
It wasn't that she didn't trust Emilia, but rather, Noelle had been more inclined to believe that the crimson-haired beauty truly believed everything she told her, but just didn't know any 'better'.
After all, with how perfect the girl seemed otherwise, except for her personality, it would make sense if there was such a 'flaw' that she didn't know about.
But since she really had some strange ability that increased her charm, Noelle couldn't help but wonder if everything she said really was true, and Emilia actually came from another world in the most literal sense.
Seeing the older girl furrow her brows in thought, Emilia couldn't help but chuckle. "What are you thinking now? Don't tell me it's another silly 'conjecture' where I also have some physical 'mutation' that allows me to change?"
Noelle coughed in embarrassment as she shook away all her previous thoughts. "S-Sorry, I-I just… No, I'm sorry I didn't believe you before. Please forgive me."
Seeing the older girl turn her head down so sincerely, Emilia's heart instantly softened. "Hey, I don't blame you for not being able to accept something so outlandish right away. Don't feel too bad, alright?"
The gray-haired girl couldn't help but hum, a little moved in her heart. 'Even after everything that happened, she's still so considerate. No wonder Sam was willing to turn into a complete pervert to get her hands on—! No, wait…'
"E-Emilia… since you're not really Danielle, around what time did you 'arrive' in this world?"
Emilia tilted her head curiously. "Didn't I tell you earlier? It was a little before school started."
"AHH!"
Samantha's shocking evolution into a siscon suddenly made a shocking amount of sense!
Even though it didn't absolve her from being a complete pervert who preyed on her little sister unless she knew everything from the start, the behavioral changes she had previously ignored now seemed all too obvious.
Although Sam had always been a little rebellious, the biggest changes in her personality seemed to coincide with the time that her 'little sister' went from being homeschooled to joining the Imperial Academy!
Noelle couldn't help but feel a little enlightened.
Meanwhile, Emilia was left staring at her in confusion. "What's going on?"
The gray-haired girl shook off her distracting thoughts with a cough as she pulled the younger girl closer. "N-Nothing!"
The crimson-haired girl rolled her eyes in exasperation. "You're really a bit too much, you know?"
Although she had already 'forgotten' about the matter of being rejected for dinner, and had also decided not to hold a grudge over Noelle not believing in her right away, now she wasn't even going to tell her what she was screaming about in such excitement?
Wasn't this bullying her too much?
Noelle also realized she was being a bit too unreasonable, and she couldn't help but be embarrassed. "S-Sorry! I-I'll do anything to make up for it!"
Emilia smirked. "Anything?"
The mischievous glint in the younger girl's eyes wasn't concealed at all, and Noelle's heart couldn't help but thump in excitement. "Y-Yes!"
And to the gray-haired girl's delight, her 'fanciful thoughts' really seemed to turn out to be true when the younger girl jumped off the bed and started stripping down.
The short skirt dropped down to the floor, and the buttons on her white shirt were undone one by one, exposing both her lavender lingerie as well as the tantalizingly soft and smooth skin underneath.
It was only then that Noelle realized that Emilia's 'charm' seemed to have exponentially 'upgraded' how irresistible she was, and she almost couldn't wait to jump off and drag the girl back to the bed.
But after every other 'transgression' she'd already made before, the gray-haired girl really didn't dare to go overboard at this moment.
Anyway, there was no way that the delectable meal that was about to be delivered right into her mouth possibly fly away at this point.
Emilia's eyes glinted mischievously as she unhooked her bra and let it drop onto the carpet as well. "Since you're willing to do anything… then you're not allowed to touch me tonight."
