The black block continued to crack apart, and soon Is heard the system notifications.
[Notice: Obtained Character Card ×2]
[Notice: Obtained Selective Inheritance Card (Allows the user to freely choose an ability from existing character cards)]
[Notice: Obtained 50 EXP]
[Notice: Obtained 50 EXP]
"The drop rate this time is pretty high… Two more character cards."
Looking at the notifications, the corners of Is's mouth lifted slightly.
Not only had he gotten two character cards, but also an inheritance card.
In short—
Black blocks really were different. They dropped good stuff.
Is first shifted his attention toward the inheritance card.
"Use!"
Ding! Use successful.
Please select an inheritance ability.
Tatsumaki: Esper Powers
B. Uchiha Madara: Sharingan
C. Acnologia: Black Dragon Form
D. Old Heavenly Master: Golden Light Spell
E. Yoriichi Tsugikuni: Sun Breathing
F. Unohana Retsu: Kidō
Is glanced over the options.
None of them were simple abilities.
After thinking for a moment—
He chose:
Acnologia: Black Dragon Form
Transforming into a Black Dragon would significantly increase both his offense and defense, raising his combat power to an entirely new level.
"I wonder who I'll summon this time…"
Looking at the two character cards in storage, Is muttered to himself.
"Use character cards!"
Ding! Confirm usage?
"Confirm."
Ding! Please select the number of cards to use.
"All of them."
Without hesitation, Is responded immediately.
Ding! Character cards consumed successfully!
Ding! Congratulations, Host. You have obtained: Rem, from (Re:Zero − Starting Life in Another World)!
Ding! Congratulations, Host. You have obtained: Ram, from (Re:Zero − Starting Life in Another World)!
"Rem… Ram?"
Hearing those two names, Is froze slightly.
Good grief—
He'd summoned two characters at once.
And both were from the same world.
In his previous life, Is had watched Re:Zero.
Rem and Ram were both members of the Oni race. They could enter an Oni form, growing horns during battle and greatly increasing their combat ability.
When they were younger—
Ram had been stronger than Rem.
And because of that, Rem had always felt inferior to her older sister.
Later, humans attacked their village and massacred their people.
Ram lost her horn and her power while protecting Rem.
From then on—
To become strong enough to protect her sister, Rem devoted herself to pursuing Ram's strength.
Without question—
They were sisters with an exceptionally deep bond.
…
At that moment, white particles of light appeared before Is.
This time, the cluster of light was noticeably larger than previous summons.
Soon—
The light split into two groups, gradually taking human shape.
The next second—
A young woman appeared first within Is's field of vision.
She had short blue hair, clear ocean-like eyes, wore a black-and-white maid outfit, and white stockings.
Just as she materialized—
The second cluster of white particles slowly took shape as well.
Following after her appeared another young woman—
Short red hair.
The same black-and-white maid outfit.
The same white stockings.
Ram and Rem's clothing was almost identical, and their appearances were extremely similar.
The only obvious difference—
Was their hair color.
If they dyed their hair the same shade, even Is might struggle to tell them apart.
Rem and Ram curiously looked around before finally turning toward Is.
"You're the one who brought us into this world?"
"Yes."
Is greeted them.
"This is an entirely new world, Sister."
Rem and Ram stood facing each other with clasped hands, observing their surroundings.
"Yes… a completely new world."
They were full of curiosity.
After all—
This was their first time entering another world.
Back in their original world, they had spent most of their lives inside the mansion and rarely ventured out.
And later—
Rem had fallen into a long sleep.
"Welcome."
"This world is different from yours. There isn't really such a thing as magic here…"
"…Though a few individuals can use something similar."
Is explained.
"Are we the only ones this has happened to?"
Rem asked.
"No. Besides you, I've summoned others into this world as well. They all come from different worlds."
Understanding what Rem meant, Is answered.
Including them—
There were now nine others besides Is himself.
His family had reached ten members total.
"There are others too?"
Rem asked, slightly surprised.
"Can you take us to meet them, Is?"
Ram requested.
"We'd like to see what people from other worlds are like."
They were curious—
About both this world and the others who had come before them.
"Of course."
Is nodded.
…
Is brought the two back to Mary Geoise.
Back Garden
Roz Minian slowly walked beneath the shade of a tree and stood behind the rocking chairs where Acnologia and Yoriichi were sleeping.
In a soft voice, she said:
"Lord Acnologia, Lord Yoriichi… Master has brought back two new companions. He asked for you to come meet them."
…
Hearing this—
Acnologia and Yoriichi slowly opened their eyes.
"Brought back two?"
"Yes."
The two stood and stretched lazily.
"I wonder what kind of companions Is brought back this time."
"They probably won't be weak."
Acnologia grabbed an apple from the table, taking a bite.
"After all, anyone Is brings back is unusual."
"That's true."
Yoriichi nodded slightly.
"Let's go meet them."
Acnologia finished the apple in a few bites.
Dark energy fluctuations burst from his hand, instantly reducing the apple core to nothingness as he walked ahead.
Yoriichi followed behind.
When they arrived at the main hall—
Everyone else was already gathered.
Seeing that the newcomers were two maids—
Both men looked somewhat surprised.
Not because they looked down on maids.
Rather—
There were already quite a lot of maids in the household.
Why had Is brought back two more maids as companions?
"Is… these are our new companions?"
Acnologia asked after a brief silence.
"Yes."
"Her name is Rem."
"And her name is Ram."
Is introduced them.
"Hello."
Rem and Ram bowed politely toward the two.
"We are pleased to meet you."
"We're companions. There's no need to be so formal."
Seeing the sisters bow, Yoriichi hurriedly waved his hands with a smile.
No matter what—
They were companions.
And companions didn't need excessive restraints between them.
"Their combat abilities aren't weak."
"And they're also incredibly capable with household work."
Is smiled while introducing the twins to everyone.
"These two little girls do carry a rather unusual aura."
The Old Heavenly Master chuckled softly.
"Why are you wearing maid outfits?"
Tatsumaki sat on the sofa, shooting Is an unfriendly glance.
"Did Is force you to wear those?"
"No, no!"
"These are our own clothes."
"Is didn't force us."
Rem and Ram quickly denied it.
"How about you two change into something else first?"
"There are already plenty of maids in the house."
"Wearing maid uniforms might cause misunderstandings."
Resting his chin in thought, Is spoke.
He was worried the household maids might see Rem and Ram dressed as maids—
And mistakenly assume they were new servants—
Then start teaching them proper maid duties.
