(EP-173.2) Exposed #2

173 – Exposed Under The Sun #2

“… No, so you’re Narmi!?”

Elga tapped the restaurant table with her fingers. Her demeanor seemed emotionally unstable. This situation must be dissatisfying for her.

“Narmi Von Draco!?”

Narmi said in response to Elga’s question.

“Yes, that’s correct!”

Whether it was the straightforward answer that didn’t sit well or something else, Elga furrowed her brows noticeably. Then, she suddenly pinched my thigh.

A sharp, nymphphobic pain suddenly shot up my spine, leading me to scream involuntarily.

“Hieek…! It hurts…!”

But regardless of my reaction, Elga continued to fume in anger.

“Hey, Theo. What are you plotting this time? Are you making fun of me?”

“Plotting!?”

“Narmi, what Narmi? You’re just reversing Mirna’s name! If you want to pretend to be someone else, at least draw a fake mole on your face!”

“Ah.”

Elga seemed to think that she was being teased. It was as if we created the persona of Narmi to mock her.

‘I see.’

From Elga’s perspective, it made sense.

If Elga suddenly said, “Hello, I’m Gael. I’m Elga’s twin sister,” and acted like someone else, I would seriously consider whether she was making fun of me too.

“But this isn’t a joke; it’s real. This really is Narmi.”

“This squirrel-sized Half-Fairy cub wants to be stubborn until the end—”

Elga clenched her fist as if she’s about to get violent. At that moment, I instinctively felt a nymphphobic smack coming for me.

“Fufu, Elga.”

Aira, who had been sipping her tea without saying a word throughout the conversation, finally opened her mouth. This stopped Elga’s fist from landing on my head.

“What?”

Then Aira replied to Elga’s blunt question.

“I guess it’s about time I stop pretending to be oblivious. In fact, I knew that she’s not Mirna.”

“… Are you saying that you already knew beforehand?”

“Yes, it’s been a while actually. Think about it. Did I ever call Lady Draco by the name Mirna recently?”

Aira’s words led me into a brief reflection. She usually addressed people by their names. However, when referring to Narmi recently, she used the uncomfortable term of “Lady Draco.”

I thought it was just a change of heart, but it turned out that she knew that it was not Mirna, so she simply didn’t call her as such.

“I see. So her name is Narmi. It’s a cute name. Narmi, Mirna. Mirna, Narmi.”

Aira continued to mumble the names of the twin sisters. Narmi, feeling awkward, introduced herself to her.

“I am Narmi Von Draco. I believe this is the first time I’ve greeted you, uh, Spider Queen….”

It was easy for Narmi to face Aira when impersonating Mirna. However, actually introducing herself was quite awkward. Aira casually replied.

“Call me Aira. If that’s uncomfortable, you can call me Queen.”

With Aira’s light response, Narmi seemed to have found some peace of mind.

“Aira, thank you. However, the Dracos do not recognize the Tarantera Family.”

Narmi, like her older sister, didn’t acknowledge the Tarantera’s throne. But to say such a thing in their first meeting, I couldn’t help but get nervous as to how Aira would react.

“Even if you don’t want to acknowledge the sunrise, morning still comes. That’s what being a Queen is. I am everyone’s Queen, whether they admit it or not.”

Aira’s answer was rather euphemistic, but wise. Meanwhile, Elga was looking at everything with a confused expression.

Soon, Elga chuckled.

“I also knew you know. I was just playing along.”

‘That’s a lie…’

“Anyway, this is Mirna’s twin, right? Twins sharing the same body. Seriously, Draco folks do a lot of weird stuff. Hiding it until now too. Sneaky rogues.”

I poked Elga’s side after that somewhat rude comment.

“Elga-nim.”

“What? I didn’t say anything untrue.”

Narmi, who was sitting in front of the shrugging Elga, said.

“It’s okay. I already know that Lady Lioness is honest!”

“Is that so? How much do you know about me?”

“As far as I know. You like embellishments, cute or pretty things.”

“Hmm. Anything else?”

After that, Elga and Narmi chatted with each other for a while.

Unlike Mirna, who was usually strict and stoic, Narmi was bubbly, which made her seem to be a good match with Elga.

“Yeah, my sister is a bit savvy. She says it is disrespectful to eat bread dipped in butter!”

“It is. Wow, it’s really funny. But what we’re talking about now, Mirna doesn’t know, right?”

“That’s right!”

Contrary to my concerns, Narmi, Elga, and Aira were friendly with each other, sharing casual conversations.

It was unknown whether it was due to their commonality of growing up as young ladies or Narmi’s friendly social skills and demeanor. Either way, I felt a sense of relief.

“So those weirdos attacked and there will be a trial by combat soon. Hey, Theo, have you decided on who will represent the duel?”

Elga’s conversation arrow pointed toward me. It seemed that she was talking about the recent incident involving the Queen’s attack. It was not unusual because everyone was talking about it lately.

After thinking it over, I gave my opinion.

“I did choose someone who can definitely win, but before that, I want to meet the guy in prison myself.”
