You think you're worthy of saving the world?

"Don't worry, Chaika, you are still a virgin," Yuri said, getting out of bed.

"There's no point in keeping this purity anymore!!!" Chaika shouted in utter shame.

She still vividly remembered how she had first clamped her chubby thighs together last night... and then...

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!"

Jaika hugged her pillow and started rolling around on the bed.

"Stop acting cute. You should be grateful that nothing strange was done to you last night."

As Yuri buttoned his shirt, he said, "You're so lucky to have met a gentleman like me."

"Hmm..."

Chaika huddled in the corner and stole a glance at Yuri.

Indeed, Yuri behaved very gentlemanly last night.

Even though he was repeatedly provoked, he withstood the test.

If Yuri had lost his mind like I did last night, the consequences would have been unimaginable...

But why?

Despite Yuri's calm attitude, Chaika couldn't feel happy at all.

Finally, the girl helplessly buried her head and hugged her knees.

"Waaaaah... I'll never get married..."

153 I miss you, Lauder

After that, Jaika angrily dragged Yuri to Mrs. Emil's house, intending to confront her about how she had "thoughtfully" slipped an aphrodisiac into their dinner the day before.

When they came out to greet them, they found Emily, a little girl who looked eight or nine years old but was actually only five.

"what……"

Seeing the girl's face, Chaika's anger subsided by half.

“Grandpa took Mom to the town on the island early this morning, saying he wanted to talk to the other village chiefs about letting my sister and brother pay their respects to the priestess.”

Hearing that they were working hard for her, Jaika's other half's anger subsided.

“Weren’t we going to confront Mrs. Emil? We were going to let the whole village know about her wicked deeds,” Yuri said.

"Did Mom do something bad to my sister?"

Emily tilted her head and asked nervously, "Was it because the food Mom and I made last night didn't suit my sister's taste?"

"No, no... Last night's dinner was delicious! Thank you for the treat, little Emily!"

Chaika took her hand and gave her an incredibly gentle smile.

Noticing the disdainful look Yuri gave her, she added, "Hmph... since nothing irreversible has happened, let's just let last night's events go."

While squeezing her inexplicably hot, fleshy inner thighs together, Jaika said coyly.

"Madame Emil probably mistook us for a couple; she was just trying to be helpful..."

“How is that possible?” Yuri raised an eyebrow.

Chaika continued, seemingly to herself, "I also need to reflect on whether I've been too close to you, which has led to misunderstandings among others..."

"I'll complain to Mrs. Emil privately when she returns! Alright, let's leave it at that!"

“…Useless.” Yuri muttered to himself.

"What did you say?!" The girl with braided hair puffed out her cheeks.

As a result, it wasn't until evening that Mrs. Emil returned home, and Yuri and Chaika spent the whole day playing with Emily.

"The discussion didn't go very well. The village chiefs of the other villages don't want people from outside the island to see the priestess... My father and I will try to persuade her again in the next few days."

While Mrs. Emil was talking about serious matters, her eyes kept switching back and forth between Yuri and Chaika.

Perhaps sensing her meaning, a blush appeared on Chaika's cheeks.

Emil saw her shyness as a sign that the two young people had made a fait accompli.

"It seems you two had a very pleasant night."

"Wh...what do you mean?!" Chaika exclaimed in surprise.

“It’s getting late, why don’t you two have dinner here tonight?” said Mrs. Emil.

"Oh? I can't accept this. I already troubled you yesterday!" the girl exclaimed.

Mrs. Emil ignored her and got up from her chair, walking toward the door.

"I'm going to the market in town to buy some ingredients... Emily, you entertain your older brother and sister, and don't be naughty."

“Okay, Mom!” Emily nodded happily.

"Wait...wait a minute, madam."

Jaika caught up with her, and just as she was about to speak, Mrs. Emil bowed respectfully and said, "I am very sorry about what happened last night. Nothing like this will happen again today."

After saying that, she turned and left the cabin.

That evening, Yuri and Jaika were treated to a lavish meal, which included roast chicken and grilled fish.

Judging from Emily's happy reaction, she and her mother never usually get to eat such good food.

Moreover, Madame Emil also kept her promise and refrained from adding aphrodisiac fruits to the wine.

"Madam is so hospitable..."

On the way back, Jaika touched her slightly swollen belly and said.

Because she mistook you for a pregnant woman… Yuri thought to herself.

What will she think if she finds out your belly hasn't gotten any bigger a few weeks later?

According to Yuri's speculation, the humans on this island have an unimaginable growth rate, and their gestation period is shorter than that of people in the outside world.

This was confirmed during his conversation with Emily during the day.

People living on Dragon God Island are generally able to grow to adult size by the age of 12.

Not only is the growth rate fast, but the average lifespan of indigenous people is also much shorter than that of people in the outside world.

Generally speaking, living to your 60s is considered an exceptionally long lifespan.

Incidentally, the average life expectancy (for ordinary people) on the mainland is 80 years, which is higher than in the modern peaceful country of Yuri's previous life.

After all, this world has a divine energy called the Shifting Current, and large-scale wars rarely occur. Although the living conditions of ordinary people are very harsh, as long as they produce carbohydrates, they can guarantee the most basic survival.

Yuri and Chaika stayed on the island for a few more days.

The two's request for an audience was not conveyed to the "Dragon Priestess" herself; they could only wait quietly for the village chief to help them gain an opportunity with the other village chiefs on Dragon God Island.

While there is a way to sneak into the heart of the forest and enter the temple to secretly meet the priestess, Chaika suggests that it's better not to do that...

"It would be terrible if we were discovered. It's not a critical moment yet, and we don't need to get into a conflict with the people on the island."

So these days, they've been staying with Emily.

Occasionally, I would visit the villagers in the village.

Understanding local customs and traditions, and doing the work of a folklorist—achievements in this area will also affect the final evaluation of the singularity.

During his visit to the villagers, Yuri also subtly brought up the topics of the dragon god and the priestess.

Similar to the village chief's attitude, the villagers would become extremely reverent whenever the Dragon God and the priestess were mentioned.

They claimed that their current life was a gift from the Dragon God and vehemently criticized the young people who had fled the island.

Although Yuri wanted to learn more about the "Crimson Festival," the villagers, who had been very enthusiastic, suddenly became hesitant and their expressions changed when the festival was mentioned.

It seems that even in the hearts of the villagers, the "Crimson Festival" is a taboo topic that cannot be touched.

It's relatively rare to find someone like the village chief who can talk at length about the tradition of human sacrifice.

The characters played by Yuri and Chaika seem to have learned the local language from those who fled Dragon Island before arriving on the island, so language communication is not a problem.

Emily once pestered Chaika to teach her the common language of the continent, and the girl happily agreed—she was the vice-chairman of Academy City.

So, in addition to investigating the local area, Chaika would also give Emily lessons.

Emily wasn't a very bright child, but Chaika was very patient, and her studies went smoothly.

Under Chaika's patient and meticulous guidance, Emily slowly began to be able to use Common Tongue for some everyday conversations.

At the same time, Emily also became like a kitten, growing closer and closer to Chaika.

She would call her "older sister" and hold onto Chaika tightly.

"I love my older sister the most!"

She said it in an extremely coquettish tone.

Chaika stroked Emily's head and gave Yuri a smug, victorious look.

"I don't plan on getting along with that kid," Yuri thought to herself.

A week later, Yuri and Chaika had gotten used to the traditional costumes of Dragon Island prepared by Mrs. Emil.

The two girls, Jaika and Emily, who appeared in the village, looked like sisters.

For Chaika, spending time with Emily seemed to be very enjoyable, so she would visit Emily's house whenever she had free time.

Singing could be heard from the room where the two were staying from time to time.

At Emily's request, Chaika would sing to her.

Chaika's voice seemed to possess some kind of incredible power.

She can soothe listeners with gentle hymns and inspire them with cheerful ones.

Chaika's popularity with children is undoubtedly due in part to her incredibly beautiful voice, in addition to her gentle nature.

"I said."

That evening, when Yuri and Chaika left Emily's house...

“Don’t get too close to the people in the singularity,” Yuri said.
