Ive mentioned before that Timu doesnt use a normal 1st person pronoun. She instead uses ware, which is basically only used in modern day for rather heavy, formal speeches. As for in fiction, you might get particularly old and distinguished generals using it, and sometimes kings (if they arent using watashi or yo). Hard to describe the feel. Sometimes slightly older court wizards. Just, distinguished people, I guess. And non-young if theyre not using it for speeches or special occasions.
Oneesama, I have returned.
I heard the sound of the door opening, along with Timus voice. It seems that shes back. Normally Id receive her with a smile, but things are different today.
Mum, Dad, leave Timu to me. Ill definitely make her reflect.
Tilea, stop. How many times do I have to say it before you understand? That girl isnt Timu. Youll be killed!
Cut it out already, Sera! Its true that Timu is suddenly speaking in a strange way, but from what I can see, the two of them are getting along just fine.
Dads right, Mum. Theres no way anything like that will happen between Timu and I.
And Tilea. I think youre the bigger problem for making Timu call you Oneesama. Youre not picking on your sister, right?
No, no, Im not making her, you know. Timu said she wanted to call me that no matter what, so.
Really? But you dont look so unhappy about it, you know.
Uu. Daddy, youre pretty sharp!
Thats right. Im not making her call me that, but Im not stopping her either.
I-, Isnt it fine? I just wanted to taste the world of Marimiteh a little.
First Ill make sure to give Timu a good scolding as her older sister. Dad, wait here with Mum a little, okay?
Ah-!? Tilea, wait!
Sera, were waiting here.
Dear, let go of me. I have to stop her Are you okay with Tilea being killed!
Wont you cut that out already!
Aahh. Why wont you understand!
Tilea, Seras tired and isnt seeing reality. Make sure to have a good talk with Timu.
Mn, Ill leave Mum to you, okay?
Yeah, leave it to me.
ITS YOU TWO THAT ARENT SEEING REALITYYYYYYY!
Mum kept shrieking things like Timu is a demon or Tileas going to be killed. Looks like I need to hurry up and reconcile them. I headed to Timus room in order to bring back their feelings for each other.
Timu!
Ah, Oneesama. The truth is Im in the middle of reorganising the Household Guard, and we would be delighted if you could come for an inspection, Onee-sama.
If the Household Guard are able to gaze upon your countenance, I am sure the morale will increase spectacularly.
The reorganisation of the Household Guard
So you guys have been playing Demon King Army again, huh. By this inspection thing, are they inviting me to play with them this time? Normally Id be fine with that, but
Im not going. Timu, for now youre forbidden to go outside.
W-, What do you mean, Oneesama?
Timu, sit down over there.
U-, Understood.
Timu sat down with a meek expression, and I moved to face her. We were now sitting on other side of the table. I glared at her.
Oneesama?
Timu seemed to have sensed my bad mood. She looked at me anxiously. Uu, if you look at me with such a sad face, itll be hard for me to lecture you too, you know.
But I have to. If I spoil her again, itll just be a repeat of last time.
Timu, do you have anything to say to me?
Let me see. Because of your training methods, I have powered up spectacularly. Although I am incompetent, please allow me the privilege of assisting in your domination.
No, thats not what I mean Timu, do you remember when I spanked you last time?
Yes. It brings me utmost shame. I am painfully aware of my foolishness and weakness at that time.
Youve reflected, right? You swore to me that you wouldnt do something like that again, right?
Yes, I will not commit the same blunder again.
Timu
So youre going to play dumb to the end, huh. Even if you arent violent to me anymore, if youre violent to Mum, its the same thing, you know. Or could it be that you were just thinking itd be fine as long as I didnt find out!
Timu, to think that youve become such a coward Oneechan is sad.
Aah~ This is like that my child is different pattern, isnt it. A parent trusts their child too much, and doesnt even realise when their child turns into a delinquent. Its a dangerous sign.
Then, do you remember what you said to Mum over these last few days?
That human? As I recall, I warned her to know her place but Hah-!? Could it be that she was rude to you in some way? And thats why youre angry, isnt it, Oneesama? Honestly, she was my parent, even if temporary, so I went easy on her. I shall immediately dispose
You dont understand at all! Im angry because of YOU!
Hii-, my deepest apologies. W-, Was I dis, respecful to you, in some way? What did I? I
NOT I!!!
Hi-, hii-, I-, a-, aah-
Timu was apparently confused because she was completely flustered. Her eyes were filled with tears, and her mouth kept opening and shutting wordlessly.
Do you really not know?
Hii-, u-, umm, was it that I did not immediately dispose, of her?
TIMUUUU! Dont disappointment me so much.
Hii-, hic-, eh-, u-, umm, ah-
Timu finally began to cry and shake. Seeing my little sister tremble like this suddenly made me feel crazily guilty.
Tilea-sama, although I am aware this is rude of me, I have something to say!
Pervert(Nielsen) took a step forward in front of me.
What?
Milady. Although I do not know what is wrong, please tell Camilla-sama the problem concretely, or she will be confused.
It is fine, Nielsen. I am in the wrong for failing to live up to Oneesamas expectations.
H-. However, this is too much. From what I can see, you have served Tilea-sama without a single mistake.
Outsiders should stay out of it. This is a family matter!
U-, Understood. Please forgive me for speaking out of place. However, as a loyal servant, please allow me to say this; please find it in yourself to believe Camilla-sama.
Pervert(Nielsen) desperately covered for Timu. He looked liked a selfless knight. But beneath that, hes actually somebody who trampled on my kind Mums heart. Seeing him act like a loyal servant now just pisses me off more. I feel bad for Timu, but you arent getting any mercy.
You know, why are you speaking like this isnt your concern? Youre guilty of the same thing!
D-, Did I blunder in some way?
IT ISNT AT THE LEVEL OF BLUNDER! You completely betrayed my expectations. SLEEP ON THE FLOOR FOR A WHILEEEEE!
I stood up from my chair and kicked Pervert(Nielsen) flying. Pervert(Nielsen) vigorously tumbled across the floor. And then, with Pervert(Nielsen) still lying down, I began to grind his head into the floor with my foot.
GUOOOOOOH! T-, Tilea-sama. W-, Why is it that you are so angry?
Hahh? How about you use your fucking head. Is that head of yours just for decoration, you pervert bastard!
Ah-, ah-, Oneesama. Please stop this. Nielsen is dying.
Timu, Im trying to kill him, so of course he is.
O-, Oneesama. Nielsen is a talent indispensable for your path of domination. Please find it in yourself to forgive him. I shall bear his sin instead.
As usual, the trust between them is no joke. I really just want to keep crushing him like this until he dies, but I cant let Timu feel sad either.
Pervert(Nielsen), looks like youve barely escaped death. If it wasnt for Timus words, Id have seriously, done it, yanno. I slowly removed my foot from his head.
Hahh, hahh, hahh. T-, Tilea-sama, if you desire my life, please take it by all means. However, could you at least dispel your anger towards Camilla-sama? I humbly implore you.
Pervert(Nielsen) rubbed his forehead against the floor as he entreated me. He entreated me for Timus sake while enduring the pain from when I kicked him flying. When I see him acting this meek, it makes me want to tell him to act that way around Mum as well.
Nielsen, stop that. Look at Oneesamas countenance. She truly looks disappointed that I betrayed her expectations. I disappointed Oneesama. After committing such a failure, how would you have me live. I shall end myself right here!
C-, Camilla-sama, I beg of you to reconsider
Enough. I have decided to sacrifice myself to Oneesama.
Camilla-sama
Oneesama, for your sake I would happily offer you my life. I am truly joyful that you have given me such undeserved affection thus far.
Understood. I shall not allow you to depart this world by yourself, Camilla-sama. Having come to this, all members of the Household Guard shall follow you into the afterlife.
W-, What are you saying! I shall now allow that. If all the Household Guard dies, who shall support Oneesama in her domination.
H-, However
It is fine. I shall watch over Oneesamas exploits from Valhalla.
And like that, a chain of You cants, I musts and Howevers continued to repeat between them.
What the heck is this farce?
Im actually angry, you know.
But despite that, the two of them are playing Master-Servant even at a time like this. Being forced to watch this stupid drama has made me want to scold them even more, but perhaps I was being overwhelmed by how serious their performances were because I couldnt find a chance to butt in.
Or rather, youre not actually going to die, right?
Once somebody is too chuunibyou, you cant even laugh at this. She might really go with the flow and die after all.
Aah~ Sorry to interrupt while you guys are getting so into it, but
Oneesama, I have persuaded Nielsen. I believe he will continue to serve you faithfully, Oneesama. With this, I can die at ease.
DAHHHHHHHH! Seriously just stop that already. When exactly did I say I wanted your life! Even as a joke you shouldnt say something like that, so cut it out now!
I-, It was not a joke and
Timu, from now on you arent to speak about dying again. I wont allow anybody to kill my cute sister no matter what. Even if its you, Timu.
O-, Oneesama. Uuu, to think that you care about me so I-, I truly did not know what I did wrong. Uu-, uu-, please forgive this deplorable me.
Hahh~ Come on, make that face like the world is ending. Seeing Timu break into tears made my chest tighten in sadness.
I cant do it anymore!
Theres no way I can spank her when shes making a face like this. Im saying this myself, but I know Im spoiling her.
Come on, dont cry anymore.
I began wiping her sobbing face with a handkerchief, taking care to be gentle enough that her eyes wouldnt swell.
Uu, Oneesama.
Timu, stop treating Mum with that kind of stupid attitude. No, not just Mum, but all the people around you too.
W-, What do you mean by that?
Huu~ Do I have to explain every little thing for you to get it?
N-, No. I understand. It is fine. Oneesama, I shall show you that I understand. So please, please dont abandon me.
Timu, theres no way that Id abandon you, right? Im not angry anymore. Anyway, make sure you think deeply about what I said today, and tell me your response later, okay?
Y-, Yes. I shall not disappoint you again, Oneesama.
I see. Ill be expecting the best from you.
Embracing her, I gently stroked her head. The stiff expression disappeared from Timus face and she looked relieved.
Sorry. I scared you, didnt I.
O-, Oneesama, hic-, Ill do it. Ill definitely live up to your expectations.
Good, good. I wrapped my arms around her even more tightly. So that Timu would calm down, I gently continued to hug her.
After that, I looked at the grovelling Pervert(Nielsen) like he was a dung beetle. If I had my way, Id have immediately executed him.
And that goes for the one on the floor as well. Think carefully about the meaning behind my words!
Understood. I shall also exert myself to meet your expectations, Tilea-sama.
I certainly hope you do. Because I wont be gentle to you like I am to Timu. The next time you do something this stupid again
Huu~ After having raised him this much, I dont want to see my employee die either.
I-, Isnt it fine? I just wanted to taste the world of Marimiteh a little.
A reference to Marimite or Maria-sama ga Miteiru, which is uhm, as far as I know, a yuri series based in a rich girls school, which facilitates girls calling each other Oneesama.
After that, I looked at the grovelling Pervert(Nielsen) like he was a dung beetle.
Strictly speaking, its a type of Japanese ground beetle, but in Japanese its literally garbage bug, so I just went with dung beetle.
It should really be Sarah, but in this world filled with so many weird made-up names, it felt a little odd to have such a super average name in there. And well, Sera is basically the same name anyway, so no worries I guess.
