An ordinary profession creates the world's strongest

"No! It's very cool! Should I say it's even more oppressive... Anyway, it's very cool!"

The angels who welcomed him home brightened his mood, and he even felt that the fact that his wife had not dared to look him in the eye for a while was insignificant.

Prequel Zero 4 Bonus Original Soul Sister

"Phew~ I'm tired, sis."

"Ahaha, Xiaoliu really likes Mei'er-nee~"

Mei, exhausted, and Meredith, leisurely, walked together along the palace corridor beneath the trees. Mei's fatigue stemmed from the war—no, it was due to Lutilis's persistent pursuit after her return from the war. Her Majesty, regrettably, possessed an incurable masochistic quirk, constantly yearning for punishment from her "Sister."

"But Mei-niang seems to be enjoying it too."

"Stop saying such horrible things, okay!?"

That being said, lately, whenever Lutilis lay down, she would sit on the "chair" with a smooth, flowing motion. This showed that Mei was a natural sadist, and the two of them were a perfect match.

Meredy's face was beaming, as if to say, "Hey, you two are a perfect match." Mei'er narrowed her eyes, ready to pull a prank in retaliation...

At this moment, a trembling voice suddenly sounded behind them.

"Um, um! Mei-sama!"

Looking back, I saw one of the palace maids, a cat-eared maid, standing there sheepishly. Behind her were four more maids, excitedly screaming, "We actually talked!" and "What a hero!"

Mei, who was generally very gentle with girls, put on a beautiful smile, her tired expression gone, and asked, "What's up?" with the air of a much older sister. The cat-eared maid blushed, becoming even more coy, like a fervent fan of a celebrity.

"T-T-T-T-T-I-I-I-I-I!"

She was extremely panicked. The cat-eared maid, who was about fifteen or sixteen years old, felt dizzy and her cat ears were flapping violently.

So Sister Meier played her role as the eldest sister, gently hugged the cat-eared maid and stroked her head.

"It's okay. Okay, calm down. I'll listen to you, okay?"

“Yes, yes~~”

The cat-eared maid was so excited she nearly fainted. Her face, framed by Sister Mei's precious breasts, revealed an expression of immense bliss. The maids behind her immediately erupted in excitement. "She actually ran away!" "How enviable!" "Punishment? Punishment?" Their jealousy erupted.

Perhaps sensing her companion's dark side, the cat-eared maid suddenly woke up, pulling her face away, a look of realization dawning. Then, she clasped her hands to her chest, her eyes moist, and took a deep breath...

"Please, please accept me as Mei's adopted sister!"

Sister! Sister! Sister! Her desperate plea echoed in the corridor.

"Eh~ Stepsister?"

Mei'er looked at Meredith with a confused look on her face, but Meredith seemed quite confused as well.

"Yes, yes! Seeing His Majesty addressing Mei'er-sama as 'Sister-sama' and showing such respect and love for you, now all the maids in the palace, no, all the women in the Republic, are eager to become Mei'er-sama's adopted sisters!"

To others, Mei'er wore a (slightly stiff) older sister smile, accepting His Majesty's love and affection, treating Him tenderly (she only did this in public, to prevent the Vizier Pasha's stomach from collapsing to the point where even regeneration was impossible). When the two of them were alone, His Majesty looked happy, while Mei'er seemed a little tired. Seeing these two...

"The women of our republic all feel that you have opened the door to a new world for us!"

"What gate opened!?"

"The forbidden door of my elder sister and stepsister..."

"Close it now!"

"How could this be! How cruel!"

It seemed like the door couldn't be closed once it was opened. As the two debated whether to close it or not, the other maids who had been observing the situation from the sidelines, seemingly believing this was a fateful moment, joined the fray.

Please accept me as your sister! Please accept me as your sister! Let us swear a sisterly pledge! Please let me call you Onee-sama!

Being pursued by five girls, even Mei was at a loss. She turned her eyes to Meredith for help...

"Oh~ Mei'er, are you planning to take in a girl of unknown origin as your younger sister again?"

"Xiao Mi?"

Meredith seemed upset. Her attitude was like that of a girlfriend who, upon seeing her charming boyfriend hook up with a stranger, would express her displeasure with cold words. Meredith pouted, and then...

"Sister Mei is... Sister Mei is a scumbag~~"

"What is a scumbag sister!?"

Mireidi didn't answer, but just said, "I can't stand this kind of scumbag sister anymore!", and then ran away like a girlfriend who broke up with her philandering boyfriend.

"Mercy-sama! Can I call you Onee-sama!?"

"Ah~ yeah, alright, whatever you want."

The matter was settled inexplicably. Amidst the cheers, the cat-eared maids seemed to have some requests and suggestions, but Mei'er just casually responded, looking up at the sky with a tired expression.

Ten days later──

When Mei, Meredith, Lutillis, and Natsu were on their way to the spring to hold the "Tea Party of the Age of Gods Magicians," something happened.

"Um, Big Sister Mei..."

Balfe walked out of the forest, his body covered in wounds, his expression full of fear, as if he had had a nightmare.

"Balf-boy? What the hell happened to you!?"

The wounds he sustained on the battlefield should have healed long ago, meaning they were sustained in the forest. This also meant that there were enemies within the forest who were stronger than Balf.

Meredy and the others suddenly became nervous and immediately stepped up their guard, while Mel was about to help Balfe cast the regeneration spell. At this moment—

"There's no need to show mercy to him, Onee-sama."

The one who walked out of the forest was the cat-eared maid from last time. She seemed full of majesty and her eyes were very sharp.

"Damn it, they've caught up with me!"

"Eh? Balfe-kun? You mean..."

No matter how you think about it, it was this cat-eared maid who attacked Balfe—no, to be more precise, she was one of the attackers.

"Number Two is right. The 'man' who hangs around Onee-sama... should be punished."

Before they knew it, nearly a hundred orc women appeared around them.

"Big Sister, please be careful! These guys' love for Big Sister has gone to their heads—"

"Who allowed you to talk to Onee-sama?!"

Their movements were perfectly synchronized, their tacit understanding unbelievable. Furthermore, their dazzling, radiant gazes and aura overwhelmed Balf, who was instantly pinned to the ground by nearly ten girls.

"What the hell are you doing!?"

Just as Meredy and the others were stunned, the cat-eared maid called Number Two smiled brightly and explained:

"We are Onee-sama's adopted sisters."

“What’s the reason for this!?”

"Onee-sama doesn't need a man. All she needs are us, her step-sisters, who have pledged a sisterhood with our souls."

"Anyway, I'll cast regeneration magic on your head first, so just stand still."

The cat-eared maid's head glowed, and she continued with a dazed expression:

"We've considered it. Your Majesty marrying Onee-sama is justice, and we will serve by her side. This is paradise, the highest goal we should pursue."

"What should I do? It can't be cured."

“So we are united here!”

All that was heard was the sound of powerful footsteps as a hundred girls lined up neatly behind the cat-eared maids! Then, they took a deep breath and shouted loudly, as if for the entire forest to hear:

“““““We will respect and love Onee-sama and dedicate everything to her! We establish the organization ‘Soul Sisters’!!””””””

"Ryu, I'm sorry, but the Republic is broken and beyond saving."

Even Ryu was frightened by the military-like pressure and was about to speak out to dissuade them.

"By the way, I'm the second-in-command, Paletta, and the first is, of course, Your Majesty!"

"This organization is amazing! Paletta! I allow this organization to be established! Do your best to expand its influence!"

“Yes, as you command!!”

The group of self-proclaimed step-sisters all responded in unison. Mel, bewildered, muttered, "Sister, I didn't know... so many step-sisters would appear..." Then, Paletta, the second step-sister, pointed at Meredith, causing her to shudder.

"Miridi-sama, don't think you'll always be Onee-sama's 'special step-sister'!"

"Ah, yes."

Overwhelmed by her powerful presence, Meredith obediently nodded in agreement. Meanwhile, if these soul sisters knew that Mei'er actually had a biological sister named Tigne, who knows what would happen...would they be driven mad with jealousy? The thought of such a terrifying scenario made Meredith's expression twitch violently.

Is there anything wrong with a girl with bunny ears like this?

It has been nearly a month since Miledi and the others arrived in the Republic.

This forest is the paradise of the beastmen. In this forest there are many—

"Ugh, that stinky rabbit!"

"My body is paralyzed... I will never let her go!"

"Balls...my balls..."

"Someone help! Larkin's head is in the compost pit!"

The beastmen suffered heavy casualties. Some were paralyzed; some were unable to move due to incontinence; some rolled on the ground in agony, laughing uncontrollably; some rolled their eyes at the pungent stench; some were hung upside down by vines; and some had their masculinity subjected to unspeakable abuse.

These tragic events weren't caused by the Knights Templar or the Federation Army's invasion. The mist barrier protecting the sea of ​​trees was indeed effective. So, why had the orcs fallen so close to the capital? The reason was a young girl.

"Victory is so empty..."

Although her facial expression seemed sad, the corners of her mouth could not hide the joy of victory. She was Cui, the secret warrior leader of the rabbit people.

Her compatriots have given Tsui many nicknames, such as "the epithet of carelessness and laziness", "the annoying genius", "you said the dosage isn't lethal so it's okay, don't use your companions to experiment with poisons!", "the other bunnymen are so kind, this guy must have been born into the wrong race, damn stinky bunny", and so on.

Seeing Cui scratching the rabbit's ears, the orcs, young and old, men and women, lying on the ground, all felt their foreheads crackle. Of course, that was the sound of veins popping out.

But Tsui's belief is, "I'm not wrong, society is wrong!" She was so frightened by their accusations that she couldn't help but retreat...

“W-what?! You were the ones who attacked me first! Tsui was not wrong! Tsui was just fighting back! Besides, what did Tsui do wrong?!”

Cui defended herself with all her might, believing that the other party was responsible for starting the war.

In response to Cui's explanation, the beastmen lying on the ground, from adults to children, shouted in unison:

“““““Because you attempted to poison Lady Mei’er, ahh ...

That's what happened. To escape Lutilis's surveillance, Mei'er has been running around with Cui. Cui concocted a new poison and tried to poison Mei, but her plan was discovered beforehand and the beastmen tried their best to stop her.

So that's how it is. It's basically Cui's fault.

"That's outrageous! You're attacking your compatriots for that reason!"

"Your idea is outrageous! No, it's terrifying!"

Mei'er was revered as a saint of healing, beloved by the beastmen. Sixteen-year-old Cui actually poisoned such a person for "that reason." So that's how it was. It's truly terrifying, a completely madman's idea.

However, Cui seems to have her own difficulties.

"Because it's thought that she's favored by onee-chan, wouldn't His Majesty glare at her?! It's a non-lethal poison anyway! And onee-chan is very strong! So what's the harm in having her accompany me on my new poison experiment?"

A fair exchange! Such a sensible phrase! The Scumbag Rabbit Queen wiggled her rabbit ears, insisting she was not wrong.

At this time, a leisurely voice came...

"Oh...you're going to poison my sister."

The rabbit ears stopped shaking instantly, and sweat poured down like rain. Cui turned back stiffly, like a broken iron toy.

Sister Mei'er appeared in front of Cui and gave her a beautiful smile.

So, Cui also smiled sweetly──

“I’m so sorry~~!”

Then, with a swift leap and a kowtow, she knelt, her grace evident in her unwavering lack of hesitation. Incidentally, her laughter was servile, her eyes drooping as if asking, "Do you need me to lick your shoes?" This was actually quite refreshing. Yet, such a person is a combat genius, and at sixteen, she's already one of the Republic's top five. Truly a pitiful rabbit.

As Mei'er looked down at Cui with a cruel look, a group of rabbit-eared children jogged over.

"Ms. Mei! Please forgive Ms. Cui!"

"I apologize on behalf of Cui-sama!"

Ten little rabbits gathered around Cui and tried their best to protect her.

"Yes, Mei'er-sister, for the sake of these children, please forgive Cui."
