Chapter 277 - The Most Important Question

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 

Crystal had thought that regardless of Emilia's secret, she would simply accept it and support her to the best of her ability, but the moment she knew the girl wasn't from their planet… there was one thing that kept bothering her.

Since Emilia wasn't from this planet, she must have come here with a purpose, right? And once that purpose was achieved… wouldn't she leave?

But Crystal was already very happy that Emilia was willing to share such a great secret with her, and she didn't want to go digging around for more. Wasn't it good enough that the crimson-haired girl even revealed her true form?

Emilia smiled as she tucked a stray strand of blonde hair behind Crystal's ear. "What are you thinking about so furiously? Curious how 'aliens' mate? I can show you—"

The heroine's face immediately turned red as she sputtered indignantly. "I-I wasn't! I wasn't thinking naughty stuff!"

Emilia chuckled. "What was it, then? Just ask."

Crystal hadn't planned to ask, but now that Emilia already made such a demand, she didn't want to lie to her either, so she could only confess her thoughts honestly. "T-That… um, your alien race must have come here for a reason, right? Once it's done… w-will you leave?"

The hazy and drunken look in Emilia's eyes faded for a moment as she saw the sorrowful look on the blonde girl's face.

Crystal blushed as she was pulled tight into Emilia's embrace as the crimson-haired girl caressed her hair gently. "Of course I'll leave, but not without you."

The tight grip around her heart faded as Crystal breathed a sigh of relief. Her eyes twinkled with tears as she snuggled into the crimson-haired girl's embrace, sniffling happily. "I-I knew you wouldn't abandon me!"

Emilia chuckled as she patted the blonde girl's head affectionately. "Abandon you? Heh… even if you wanted to run away, I wouldn't let you go."

Crystal couldn't help but giggle as she thought of such a scene. Just looking at this glassy-eyed goddess of a girl, it was good enough if one wasn't trying to eat her alive. Who would run away?

Even if it would be incredibly adorable to see Emilia pout and try to hold her back, Crystal couldn't bring herself to wrong the girl, after all.

Emilia's smile turned a little teasing as she nudged the blonde back. "By the way, aren't you curious why an alien came to your world?"

Crystal didn't dare to look her in the eyes as she looked away with a blush. "A-A little, but you don't have to tell me if it would put you in danger. If you need help, just tell me what I must do directly, un. After all, the others—"

Emilia grinned as she flicked the heroine on the forehead, making her pout. "There are only two people in my race, me and my friend. As for why I came to this world… of course, to conquer!"

Crystal hadn't been completely unprepared for such a declaration, but she could still only gape in disbelief. "Y-You want to conquer this world… alone?!"

The crimson-haired 'alien' goddess gave her a smug nod. "What, Crystal thinks I can't do it?"

The blonde girl quickly shook her head, feeling a little exasperated in her heart. "Emilia… do you even know how many countries there are in this world? How many are bigger than ours?"

Emilia nodded. "I know. There are fifty-three countries on this planet, and thirteen that are more prosperous and powerful than this one. But even on a global scale, isn't my White Deer still in the top three?"

Crystal blinked as she finally realized something. 'Ahh… all those alien movies have corrupted me.'

Coughing in embarrassment, the blonde girl gave her a nod. "I-I see you didn't mean it like a military conquest. It's fine if you just want to be the richest in the world. That's… doable."

Emilia grinned. "Just the richest in the world? No, I want to be the most famous, the most powerful, the richest… well, everything. I want everyone in this world to adore me."

Looking at the heroine's strange look, she couldn't help but pout. "You dare think I'm narcissistic?! This is how my race thrives!"

Crystal cleared her throat in embarrassment. "W-Well, if that's how it works—"

Looking at the crimson-haired girl sulk, the blonde quickly changed her words. "O-Of course, it's only a matter of time before everyone admires Emilia, okay? It's not narcissistic at all!"

Seeing how the heroine nodded as if to convince herself, Emilia couldn't help but burst into giggles. "Thank you. Is there anything else you wanted to know? Because I've been getting really horny since you started teasing me, and there's a really cute girl that—"

Crystal had been too focused on their discussion before, but after Emilia said something like that, she couldn't help but become intimately aware of just how incredibly sexy her lover looked, and how close they were right now.

The heroine couldn't help but squirm, becoming well aware of how slick the area between her thighs was getting. "I-Is this your real form, Emilia? Does everyone in your race look so… h-hot?!"

Emilia's eyes already looked quite drunk and hazy with desire, and Crystal's words only made it worse. She couldn't help but push the girl back and straddle her thighs, staring hungrily at the girl's dripping wet crotch. "This is my real form, though I can change it at will. Since you're hot, then—!"

The heroine hadn't even realized when she had blocked Emilia from diving down with a palm to her face, but now that she had, she could only cover her embarrassment with a cough. "I-I just wanted to ask one last question."

"After that, we will—"

The wronged and pitiful look on her lover's gorgeous face was really too much for Crystal to bear, and she couldn't help but feel guilty. Obviously, she was the one who wanted to do it the most, but she was still making Emilia beg. 

And to make everything worse… she really didn't have a question at all.

But smart as she was, after rapidly wracking her brains, Crystal soon came up with a solution. "T-That's right, um, m-my question is… c-can I be on top?!"
