Wizard World Irregular

Chapter 775: The Arrival Of A Tribulation



A sigh of pleasure escaped Joanne's lips as a pair of hands firmly caressed her back.

She was lying down on the bed without any clothes on, surrendering herself to the feeling of Hecate's experienced hands.

“Ngh... Hau~”

"I'm jealous of your body, Joanne," Hecate said softly. "Your skin is so smooth and firm at the same time."

"What are you talking about?" Joanne replied in a dreamy tone as Hecate's hands moved down her hips before lightly kneading her backside. "Your body is strong, and it looks very fit. Also, I think my brother has a preference for ladies with lean and toned bodies."

"He does?" Hecate asked with curiosity as she gently kneaded Joanne's buttocks with her hands.

"Hau~ Yes. I think those with Lily and Nicole's physique are really his type." Another soft gasp escaped Joanne's lips. "It's fine if you do it a bit harder. It feels good."

"Mmm, okay," Hecate replied. "I'll make sure that you feel good."

Soon, more sighs spread inside the room. This was the first time that Ethan's sister had experienced a full-body massage.

But just as things were getting good, the door of the room suddenly opened.

"W-What are the two of you doing?!" a young lady, who was around seventeen years old, asked after seeing the scene in front of her. "J-Joanne, a lady shouldn't be doing this!"

"Ramona," Joanne said with a smile. "Come, join me."

"As if!" Princess Ramona walked toward the bed and gave Hecate a glare. "What do you think you're doing to my best friend? Unhand her this instant!"

Hecate, who was giving Joanne a massage, blinked once then twice before lightly tapping Joanne's backside, making it jiggle.

"Should I stop?" Hecate asked.

"No," Joanne replied firmly. "Continue."

Hecate shifted her attention back to the princess with a smug smile on her face. "You heard her."

"No, you should really stop," Princess Ramona said. "If you don't, I'll scream. This is the Temple of the Tidebringer! Something like this isn't allowed!"

Joanne lifted her head from the bed and shared a knowing glance with Hecate.

A moment later, the Princess was dragged to the bed, stripped of her clothes by the two ladies who wanted to make her understand what she was missing.

Soon, Princess Ramona lay limp on the bed, with Joanne hugging her from the side.

"See? It feels good, doesn't it?" Joanne asked in a teasing tone. "This is my first time, and yet, it felt so heavenly."

"Y-Yes..." Princess Ramona, who wasn't able to scream earlier because Joanne covered her lips, was unable to resist Hecate's godly hands, which played with her body as if she were a musical instrument.

"Okay, my turn," Joanne said. "Finish what you started."

"Sure thing, My Lady," Hecate replied and made sure that Joanne also ended up just like the limp princess on the bed.

When she finished giving the young lady a massage, Ethan's sister had already fallen asleep in Princess Ramona's embrace, so she covered her with a blanket.

Hecate looked at the two sleeping girls before wiping the excess oil from her hands with a cloth.

She then walked toward the window and glanced at the familiar scenery that could only be seen in the Temple of the Tidebringer.

It had been four days since they entered the Painting of Enlightenment.

To their surprise, the reason why they felt that the town looked familiar was due to the fact that it was a town that belonged to the Magdar Kingdom.

Joanne had visited the Sleeping Willow Town in the Magdar Kingdom when she was touring the lands with her brother, Princess Ramona, and Illumina.

As for Hecate well, she grew up in the Magdar Kingdom, so she naturally knew about the towns in it.

After knowing where they were, Hecate proposed that they head toward the Temple of the Tidebringer.

Joanne, who had a special connection with that place, wholeheartedly agreed to her friend's proposal.

However, when they arrived at the temple, she was pleasantly surprised to find Princess Ramona, who was currently seventeen years old and was serving as the Saintess of the

Temple.

Joanne, who longed to be reunited with her best friend, had a tearful reunion with the princess.

Hecate, on the other hand, simply watched from the side, allowing Joanne to heal her heartbreak of losing her best friend.

She knew that this wasn't real, but she just let it be.

As long as Joanne was happy, she would accompany her in this sweet dream, which had the possibility of offering them enlightenment.

Suddenly, from within the horizon, storm clouds started to brew, the sight of which made Hecate frown.

During the past few days, the weather had been clear and warm.

Although storms were a natural occurrence in the Lands of Alastor, the storm in the distance

was making her skin crawl for some reason.

Soon, the storm clouds reached the temple.

Thunder boomed in the heavens as lightning streaked across the sky.

Due to how loud it was, Joanne and Princess Ramona, who were sleeping on the bed, suddenly

woke up.

"What's happening?" Joanne asked sleepily. "Is that your stomach rumbling, Ramona?" "Girl, even if I am hungry, my stomach will not growl that loud," Princess Ramona replied as she hastily put on her clothes.

She had sensed that the storm was not natural, making her frown.

Joanne, who had lost her sense of danger after spending happy days with Ramona, also picked

up her clothes and put them on.

The three ladies then stared outside of the window, observing the thunderstorm that came

without warning.

Suddenly, something caught their attention in the distance.

Someone slowly rose up from the water, the wind making his long blue hair flutter wildly

behind his back.

"B-Brother?" Joanne muttered in disbelief. "Did he come to pick us up?"

"No," Hecate frowned. "That's not your brother."

"Eh?" Joanne looked at Hecate in surprise. "He's not?"

Hecate shook her head firmly.

However, Princess Ramona looked at the young man who was being carried by a wave toward

the temple with eyes filled with happiness.

"Ethan..." Princess Ramona said before jumping out of the window.

She summoned her staff and used it as a flying broom to fly toward the object of her affection

with excitement.

Just as the Tidebringer landed on the bridge connecting the sea to the temple, Princess

Ramona was already running toward the young man with her hands spread wide.

Without even caring about her position as the Saintess or the Princess of the Kingdom, Ramona jumped into the Tidebringer's arms.

The handsome young man smiled and caught her, hugging her close to him.

Joanne looked at this scene with a smile. When they had been in the past, this kind of scene

was what she had been trying to set up.

Sadly, it wasn't meant to be. Her brother and Princess Ramona simply didn't belong to the

same era.

Hecate, on the other hand, looked at this scene with a frown.

Although he looked like him and acted like him, the young man in the distance was making her feel as if the tribulation that stood in the way of their enlightenment had come. Suddenly, the young man looked in their direction and smiled at them.

At the same time, Hecate felt a wave of power wash over her body, which she resisted with her

will.

Joanne, who had also been hit by the wave of power, remained standing in place as if she

wasn't affected by it.

A moment later, Ethan's sister moved closer to Hecate and held onto her arm.

"What's wrong?" Hecate asked with concern.

"I-I know that he's not my real brother, just like the Ramona in this world isn't real," Joanne

said, her voice wavering a bit. "But despite knowing that, I can't think of him as anyone else.

This might be bad, Hecate. I think I'm starting to lose my concept of what is real and what is

not."

Hecate wrapped her arms around her friend's body and held her close.

"Don't worry, I will protect you," Hecate replied. "I promise."

"Un...." Joanne replied before shifting her gaze to her best friend and her brother, who were

waving in their direction with smiles on their faces.
