Becoming Their Guiding Spirit

”She’s the boss now, after all.”

Franka said while eating.

”Hey, our Jessica is swamped with work, while that guy Lucas is wandering around outside all day, idle as can be. Who knows which pretty girl we don’t know he’s chatting with right now.”

Jessica shook her head confidently, ”He wouldn’t. Lucas went to Yan to procure supplies this time.”

”Besides, Miss Nian and Miss Surtr are with him. And Lucas isn’t some kind of player who actively hits on girls. It’s not like girls will just throw themselves at him wherever he goes, right? He’s not like the main character of that novel you recommended to me, senior, where girls inexplicably fall for him everywhere he goes. That’s just not realistic.”

Franka shrugged.

”Let’s hope so.”

Suddenly.

Lucas’s voice echoed in Jessica’s mind.

A look of joy appeared on Jessica’s face.

”See, Lucas is back so soon. He’s been gone for less than two days. You were definitely overthinking it, senior.”

Jessica stood up, and everyone went to the helipad on the villa’s roof together.

The [Stardust] slowly landed.

The hatch opened, and Lucas was the first to walk out.

Jessica ran up and gave Lucas a hug.

”Welcome back, Lucas. I thought you’d be gone for a few more days. Have you eaten? We just started dinner. I’ll have the kitchen send you.....”

Jessica hadn’t finished her sentence.

When three women she had never seen before walked out of the aircraft.

Two of them were breathtakingly beautiful, their bodies faintly shimmering with a divine and buddhist aura.

When the Nine-Colored Deer stepped off the plane.

Her radiance even made the night-shrouded Columbia glow as bright as day.

Her every frown and smile, even without any expression, had a temperament that could steal the soul of any man or woman.

A transcendent beauty, as if walking down from the heavens, untouched by dust.

”Ah, this....”

Jessica was instantly at a loss for words.

Even Jessica and Franka, and everyone else present, were stunned the moment they saw the Nine-Colored Deer, somewhat lost in a daze, only coming back to their senses after a long while.

Behind them, Franka just shrugged helplessly.

”As expected... novels really are based on real life. And it seems Lucas even brought back a goddess... so beautiful....”

”Mmm....”

Jessica had to admit that, for a moment, she felt an immense pressure.

Could Lucas’s soul be stolen away by these goddess-like young women?

Probably not...

”Uh... let me introduce you. This is Miss Dusk, Nian’s younger sister. This is Miss Nine-Colored Deer, a complete god from Yan, who hopes to come here for an exchange with Raythean Medica to learn about medicine. And this is Miss Saga.
