Chapter 1263: The reveal, choice and no regrets
"No! Absolutely not! I will not compromise."
Kaguya turned Miku's offer down without hesitation.
"Stepping into the sandman's domain with Master is the exclusive privilege of the victors of the divine duel between spirits. How can we give up after winning?!"
"Agreed."
Yuzuru nodded. She is also unhappy to hear Miku's request.
"Miku's blatant attempt to subvert a hard-fought victory should be met with swift punishment."
"Oh, come on, what's the big deal?"
Miku puffed her cheeks. She didn't like how the twins shot her down.
"You two get to sleep with Darling on almost a daily basis, what is one night to you?"
"We don't sleep with Master every night!"
Kaguya corrected her.
"We already said it wasn't easy to achieve victory. We will not give up our hard-fought spoils of war."
"Conclusion, Kaguya and Yuzuru worked hard to get the right to sleep in the same room as Master…"
Yuzuru cleanly put her foot down.
"It is unfair that Miku would demand we turn over our reward without doing anything to put herself in a position to benefit from sharing the same bed with master."
"Benefits, huh?"
Miku raised her hand.
"Okay, how does cakes sound? If you let me do this then cakes on me tomorrow."
The twins' ears twitched. Their resolute expression wavered for a second.
"C-cakes?"
"Shaken, there were no cakes just now."
"S-sounds nice…"
"If it is just one night, Yuzuru can still tolerate this injustice…"
"Hmm, you are offering a fine tribute, I must consider your plea seriously…"
"Excitement, we are looking forward to it…"
"Hey, where did your will go?"
Wu Yan retorted.
"You guys sold me out for cakes? What about your integrity?"
The twins turned their heads the other way. Miku's eyes went moist, she looked like she might cry.
"Does Darling hate me?"
"No! I don't!"
Wu Yan panicked.
"I like you very much!"
"Like?!"
The twins got a bit jealous when they heard Wu Yan.
"L-like…"
Miku also started blushing.
"Jeez, Darling, don't declare it in front of so many people…"
"Girls…"
Wu Yan sighed while bitterly smiling.
"Fine, since you're all here. I have something to tell you girls…"
"You do?"
The spirits sensed a shift in Wu Yan's tone.
"You got something you want us to do?"
Kaguya used her normal speech pattern.
"If there's anything you need, just say it. We will do it to the best of our abilities…"
"Definitely."
Yuzuru said.
"If it's master's order, Yuzuru will obey!"
"Sounds serious…"
Miku felt a bit uneasy. However, she urged him to go on.
"Darling, please speak your mind…"
Wu Yan was amused that the spirits responded so seriously. He slapped his cheeks to perk up.
"Don't be so tense. It is important but not scary…"
"Okay, here goes…"
Wu Yan extended his arms.
"It will take a long time to explain. There is a possibility you girls might not understand too. Take my hand, I will share my memories."
"Share your memories?"
The spirits weren't afraid of this mental link.
Wu Yan will never harm them.
They grabbed his hands.
Magic surged as a brilliant light covered them.
The spirits felt a surge of power entering their minds. Then, their limbs went soft as they sagged down.
Foreign memories entered their minds. It integrated with their perceptions and memory archives.
Soon, the light died down and the spirits returned to reality. They found it hard to shake off the hazy feeling.
Wu Yan also gave the girls time to digest the information.
It isn't easy to spring his status on the girls.
Revealing the System, the summons, and how their universe is only a mimic parallel universe.
These are concepts that aren't readily comprehensible to other people.
Fortunately, they are spirits so they adjusted faster than average humans. A normal human would have shook Wu Yan's memory infusion as fabricated stories.
But, they accepted the truth of the matter.
Once they become his summons, they are basically stuck together forever.
Their lives and fates will become tethered.
The bonds Wu Yan shared with his summons are very tight-knit.
Kaguya, Yuzuru, and Miku had to seriously think about their situations.
The three spirits finally regained clarity of mind. They exchanged looks of wonder and shock.
"Wow…"
Miku exclaimed.
"So, that was all real?"
"I-incredible…"
Kaguya said with a blank look.
"To think Master could do something like that…"
"Shock, so there are multiple universes?"
Yuzuru wasn't sure how to express her confoundment.
"So this is the reason why Master became so powerful. The System, truly, DEM cannot even be compared on the same level."
"I know it is hard to believe but it is all real. The transcript universes, Silvaria, System, and Summons."
Wu Yan said.
"Now that you know, here is the important question, do you girls want to…"
"Do you even need to ask?"
The spirits interrupted him.
"You're the Master of the Yamai Twins. That will never change, not now, not ever."
Kaguya declared with her arms crossed.
"There is nothing to choose."
"Agreed."
Yuzuru grinned.
"As long as Master and Kaguya are there, that is where Yuzuru belongs…"
"You promised to always protect me…"
Miku hugged Wu Yan's arm. She couldn't mask her anxiety from Wu Yan.
"No backsies…"
"You girls…"
Wu Yan felt touched that the spirits chose to stay with him.
He floated a genuine smile of happiness.
"Don't regret this now, once you girls become my summons, you're basically stuck with me forever…"
"We won't regret anything!"
They laughed at the same time.
Then…
"I want in too!"
