Work Text:
It was another peaceful day in the Highlands, most of the family members went to a Kuku’s concert on the demon kingdom and the cottage was almost empty, except for the 2 girls sitting on the living room.
“Are you sure you don’t wanna go? It’s getting harder to get VIP passes for Kuku’s concerts.” Azusa asked, slightly worried Laika would miss out on the beautiful music.
“It’s fine, Azusa-sama.” Laika walked towards the door. “We need to talk.” And closed the door.
The witch thought this was similar to what happened that time she was transformed into a child, but this wasn’t the same at all, the mood was completely different.
Laika herself wasn’t showing any kind of emotion on her face, she was just looking at Azusa coldly. “Recently I remembered how I was when we first met each other, do you remember?”
“You mean you being a competitive prideful dragon?” That was the first impression she got from Laika back then.
“Yes, sometimes that personality surges back when I’m with Flatorte, but most of the time it’s just me acting like your little sister even though we started as Master and Pupil.”
“Well, we might have started as that, but after our family grew bigger you got a new role and you changed for the best.” Azusa said with a smile.
“No, I didn’t.” The red dragon replied almost whispering.
“Eh?”
“I should have realized it sooner, even if my sister got married I wouldn’t try to replace her, I wouldn’t ask for headpats to anyone else, she gave me those for centuries that can’t be replaced so easily no matter how much I respected you…”
“But… you did, you wanted to be my little sister, right?”
“THAT’S WRONG.” Laika snapped with a roar.
Azusa jolted back in the couch.
“I already have a big sister and you can’t never be her, we are the same age, aren’t we? We’re both 300 years old, you need to take this fact into account a lot more seriously.”
Azusa couldn’t tell her she was technically slightly older because of her previous life. “Even if we are, what about it? You never had any issue with this before, what happened?”
“I realized 2 things during our maid café, the first one was Pecora, you always sisterzone her even though she calls you Onee-sama as someone would a lover, not a family member, I know because I myself was an Onee-sama in my rich girls school.”
“I’m not comfortable with the term “sisterzone”, but yeah, that’s the only thing I can do to try to stop her advances, pretending I don’t really know what “Onee-sama” means so I treat her like a little sister, it never works though, she always retaliates wanting to kiss me or touching my boobs.”
“That’s because she’s the Demon King, she’s the only one strong enough to resist your basic spells.”
“Spells? What are you talking about?”
“You still don’t get it? The second thing I noticed is how embarrassed was I acting in front of everyone in the maid outfit and how everyone wanted me as their little sister.”
“What about it? You yourself said you always acted like that when wearing that dress and got those reactions.”
Laika sighed and looked down. “You’re still ignoring our age, I only act like that in front of other dragons, I never would have acted like that in front of humans that are several centuries younger than me, much less let them call me their “imouto”.”
“But, you did-”
“AZUSA-SAMA. Remember the list of spells you got when you reached level 99?”
“Eh… I think I have them written somewhere.” Azusa looked around.
Laika lifted the list in her hands. “Mind manipulation/hypnosis, you have been using this spell subconsciously since the day the twins arrived.”
“WHAT?” She couldn’t believe that.
“When you got daughters, you started controlling me, you dissolved the whole Master/Pupil thing and besides going every morning to kill some slimes together, you made me your perfect little sister and I never questioned it, because that’s what you wanted.”
“That can’t be true-”
“Have you not realized how you almost never use spells when you fight against someone else in front of me? You almost always fight with your fists, that’s because subconsciously you’re constantly controlling me and all the people around you to treat me as your little sister, which includes all the other girls and even the clients of the café.”
Azusa eyes widened on the sudden realization.
“I’ve developed an immunity to your spell and now you can’t control me anymore no matter what you do.” Laika looked directly into Azusa’s eyes. “If you don’t believe my story then test it out, use for the first time ever your mind control spell on me on purpose and you’ll see it’ll have no effect at all because I’m immune, ask for something I would never do.”
Azusa gulped. “Fine.” She also wanted to know if this whole deal was true so she prepared the enchantment and casted it on Laika while giving an order. “Let’s see, hmm, show me your panties.” She asked with a slight doubt, but still with the full force of the hypnotic spell.
Laika stood up. “As you wish, Mistress.” She said emotionlessly and robotically lifted her dress with each hand, showing her cute and sexy pink panties to her Mistress.
Azusa stared at them for 10 seconds before reacting. “I knew that wasn’t tru-”
“It didn’t work.” Laika quickly replied, her expression saddened and a bright blush covered her whole face, she never stopped displaying her panties though. “I was just pretending to see how you’d react.”
“But how??? If your story is true, then how did you break the spell? Was it really just the clients of the café calling you little sister?”
“No, that was the final nail in the coffin, the 2 things that broke the spell were the constant fights I had with Flatorte that returned my old personality and all the hugs you gave me, both things returned me back to normal for a moment and then I turned back into your sister the next second, so constantly going back and forth was like consuming small doses of a poison mushroom for months, eventually you develop immunity.”
“Hugs? Huh why?” Azusa was confused about that part.
Laika walked towards Azusa’s face in the couch, proudly lifting her dress. “You never realized it either, but every single time you hugged me I blushed like crazy, which was slowly breaking the “adorable little sister hypno spell” because I didn’t want to be your little sister.” Laika’s panties were on Azusa’s face. “Since the day your daughters arrived I wanted to be their mother too.”
This hit Azusa like a truck to the point she stopped caring about the underwear. “I’m a monster.” She connected all the dots. “I converted my pupil who was romantically interested in me into my little sister against her will even though we’re the same age.” Being a 300 years old witch and a dragon is a bit hard to picture in her mind, but she started imagining doing this as a human to another human in the range of 30 years old each and she realized how messed up this whole situation was.
“Now you get why I’m angry? My feelings were suppressed for months, almost a year. Can’t blame you completely because you were doing it subconsciously, but still I can’t forgive you so easily.” Laika wanted to cry.
“I’m really sorry Laika! Seriously! The first time I see any of the girls I’ll break the spell! The twins will never call you big sister again!” She panicked.
“I sure hope so.” Laika let her dress fall down, then bended forward and deposited a kiss on Azusa’s lips that lasted a few seconds. “Because after everything you did I won’t accept a no for an answer.”
The Witch of the Highlands panicked more. “If you want to be their mother doesn’t that mean marriage? Can we even? Isn’t marriage supposed to be-”
“Long time ago Pecora instituted same-sex marriage.”
“Of course she did.”
“So let’s go to the bedroom, we have to move everything from my room to yours anyway, we’re gonna sleep together from now on.”
“But-”
“No buts.”
Knock knock.
Someone was at the door. “Are they back?” Laika went and opened the door. The slime sisters came in.
“Schifanoia started playing in the second half of the concert, so we left, Beelzebub sent us back with a reverse summoning spell.”
“I see, hey girls.”
“What’s it, Mama?” They both looked up.
“Mind control BREAK!” Azusa yelled while casting a great light on the twins.
The sisters’ eyes went blank for a moment, then the shine returned to them. “What’s going on? I remember calling Laika “big sister” before but I don’t remember why… she is supposed to be the same age as Mama? Right, sis?”
“I don’t understand it either, sis.” Shalsha was the most confused with her memories.
Laika hugged them. “Don’t worry about it anymore, how about you start calling me Mommy instead? It’s better to have 2 parents, right?”
The twins gave a huge smile. “Yeah.” “Mommy Laika!”
Laika almost melted being called that, she now knew how Azusa felt all the time, even Azusa herself couldn’t help but smile at the sight, she started to think this change wasn’t so bad, but actually for the better.
Having a wife might be fun.
“Ok girls, Mama and Mommy have some things to do at the bedroom, so meanwhile why don’t you go and eat some candy, preferably some rooms away from ours.”
The slime sisters meanwhile sorted out all their memories and put 2 and 2 together then glanced at each other. Shalsha said “Why would we eat candy?” “We aren’t little kids.” Falfa finished.
“AZUSA-SAMA.”
“What is it, Laika-sama?”
“You didn’t mind control the twins into acting like little kids for months even though they’re 50 years old, right?”
“Huh… dunno…” The witch was sweating bullets.
The red dragon looked like she was ready to bite her head off. Literally.
“I’ll do anything! How can I make it up to you?”
“One kiss… for every year EACH twin has.”
“Right now?”
“Right now.”
“Yes, Laika-sama.”
“If you lose count, you start again from the beginning with my lower lips instead.”
“Yes, Laika-sama.”
Laika dragged Azusa by the arm to their bedroom and closed the door with a slam.
Then the twins dropped the act.
“Hehehe, they sure needed that.”
“Yeah, we want Mama to start loving Mommy back and this is the best way for them to get used to it.”
“Now let’s go eat that candy, sis.”
“Yes.”
