Reincarnated as the Villainess's attendant

"So, what you are telling me, is that papa isn't a Kallerontte but a Tallaran, and that I am half-sister to Veo and Teo... hmm... I wonder if Teo in the past timeline knew about it and that's why she hated me so much...?"

After some more catching up, Burushi ended up breathing out and wondering.

"I can't say for certain, it would be best if she regained her memories and commented on that on her own... because honestly, you are already being hated even though neither of the twins or their mother met you in person."

Zoemi made a bothered expression and tilted his head in unease.

"Oh... oh, great."

The blond-haired girl flinched and groaned in a tense voice.

"That said... it seems that in this timeline, you have properly unlocked both of your attributes. That is impressive."

The black-haired boy changed the subject as the atmosphere didn't have to stay so heavy.

"Nah. It was easy. Actually, this time around I woke up to the water attribute and then gained the access to the healing one simply because I was already so used to it... that said... Private visit."

Burushi shrugged her shoulders and said dismissively before reaching out her hand and casting one of her spells.

"...!"

Zoemi raised his brows feeling a slight itchiness spreading throughout his entire body. It wasn't anything pleasant but compared to the pain that it would bring him during the past timeline, the improvement was simply tremendous.

"Whoa... your physical capabilities are on the same level they were when I started treating you in the past timeline! Did you get a cheat and wake up with the same strength?"

Burushi let out a short approving gasp and nodded while reading something out of something that only she could see.

"That's a hard question. I kind of did and didn't at the same time. I can use star power – it's not on the same level as before, but also now I have access to all twelve laws instead of being locked at just three."

Zoemi revealed with a frown while rubbing his chin. Things would definitely be easier if he was at the supernova level of the law of Aries from the start, but being able to use all twelve laws was nothing to scoff about, especially since in most cases they would synergize with each other enhancing one another in ways that he originally didn't even think of.

"Nice. Though I can see that as a trade you don't have even a drop of mana... which must be amazing while dealing with the yandere bitch. She has nothing to passively melt... although... you are doing something to suppress her mana, aren't you?"
The blond-haired girl nodded with approval before glancing over at Roiso who was talking engaging Metavicero in a conversation all excitedly.

"Continous cast of the law of Virgo. It's a star power that heals the user or the target and until now it didn't show any side effects. If anything, Roiso's case is another proof confirming that in this timeline mana and spiritual energy aren't destroying each other relentlessly, even though they suppress each other. Which honestly is a great thing because it means I and other marital artists can survive in the land of mana."

Zoemi explained with a smile, spreading his arms open and smirking devilishly while his black eyes were shining with a star-like glow.

"Yah, but... I think that as a balancing factor, this our world is now filled with monsters. Have you encountered any up until now? They are creepy as hell."

Burushi squinted her blue eyes and pointed out before motioning with her head towards the forest in the distance.

"Not only encountered, with the law of Leo I even tamed four of them. This little one is an armored wolf puppy and her three sisters are with by my dad's side."

"Eh? Really?"

"Nn...? Nnn... Nnn...!"

Zoemi boasted and grabbed the puppy from his lap, showing her off to the intrigued Burushi – the little wolf didn't seem too eager and started yelping while looking back at the black-haired boy with puppy-dog eyes.

"With them around, I can efficiently train the law of Leo and I believe that they even influence my law of Cancer transformation in some way, which is simply amazing."

Zoemi added, actually boasting while putting the puppy back on his lap and scratching her behind the ears which calmed her down.

"...say... you wouldn't be willing to part with one of them...? I am kind of gathering a bodyguard team and someone blindly faithful and with keen senses is exactly what I have been wanting..."

Burushi spoke cautiously, carefully observing the boy's face and trying to feel out his reaction.

"I mean, you have the acidic yandere already, and honestly, you having five obedient bitches around will definitely piss off Miriette... so give me one of the armored wolves."

She added lightheartedly.

"You know, I don't know if it's a friendly banter or are you and she actually hates each other for real...."

The black-haired boy shook his head and sighed.

"What? Of course, it's friendly banter! I love animals!"

"Pfft...!"

Burushi opened her eyes wide and declared with fake feverishness, making Zoemi snicker unable to hold back.

"If anyone likes you back, feel free. But keep in mind that they are quite intelligent creatures that can control their instincts pretty well, so it will not exactly be easy to properly train them if you will be using ordinary methods."

"I will keep that in mind... all that said... Are you here for George too?"

The black-haired boy tilted his head and shrugged before giving the blond-haired girl a warning and she nodded and asked back, changing the subject.

"Hmm... I would be lying if I said no. I mostly wanted to train with him and his father to become a stronger martial artist. Still, having him by my side when demon lord Cherro will appear in this world would be appreciated as a backup... but it is not like I need to have him around all the time."

Zoemi considered and said a moment later.

"Eh? Lord, Zoemi, you want to train with big brother Geroizen and his father? WHat about going to the Persersios territory with Roki and lord Mizoe?"

Roiso suddenly turned right around and asked as if she was a part of the conversation from the very beginning.

"Yeah, about that... My knight title will have to wait. Dad and young lady Rokiana should go, but I will stay behind with you... though, Burushi, I will gladly employ your help in persuading Paluous to let me stay. I kind of destroyed his clone and might not be welcomed."

The black-haired boy nodded to the neon-pink-haired girl and then turned to the blond-haired one expectantly.

"Yah, sure. You will be making my future bodyguard and or attendant stronger in the process, so there is no problem on my part."

Burushi didn't hesitate even for a second before nodding and standing up from her seat.

"Umm... my lord... If I remember things correctly, this is the first time you speak of this plan... does lord Mizoe knows about it?"

Roiso bit her lips and asked kind of nervously.

"Nope, he doesn't... but I am planning on leaving him two puppies so he would not feel lonely, so it should be okay."

"That is not what I am talking about!"

Zoemi shrugged his shoulders with a confident smirk but Roiso didn't seem to share his confidence.

"No. Seriously, it will be fine. Now then."

The black-haired boy assured her and stood up to leave the carriage.
