"...I already told you not to say such strange things again, it sounds like a weird aunt."
The ancestor, having had enough, put Noah back down.
Noah tidied up her clothes, then looked up and asked, "Now that you've turned into human form, are you ready to properly tell me about your past?"
The weird aunt nodded, lowered her eyes to look at the little brat in front of her, her expression and demeanor turning serious, "As for my birth, we must start from Dragon God · Tiamat."
———
"See it, second sis?"
"See what?"
"Big sis's expression!"
Behind the cherry blossom tree, the ghost-catching duo were secretly observing.
Little Light pointed at Noah, who was sitting under the tree, and said, "Before, when big sis trained alone, she also had these kinds of meditation practices, but look at her now. Sometimes smiling, sometimes serious, sometimes looking completely confused."
Luna blinked her equally confused big eyes, "Emmmmm... so?"
"So big sis is definitely chatting with the ghost inside her body under the pretense of meditating."
Little Light said with certainty, "Listen to me, second sis, I've just recently researched a magic array that can make ghosts appear. In a bit we'll..."
The two sisters whispered together for a while.
Right after, they silently slipped out from behind the tree, and while Noah was still meditating with eyes closed, started fiddling with something beside her.
The two little ones moved very lightly, and since Noah was deeply focused, she didn't notice even when they finished drawing the magic array.
Once the array was done, the two stood in front of Noah.
Luna looked a little worried, "Little Light, if it doesn't work again this time, we're going to get our butts spanked."
"It's fine, second sis, there are always bumps on the road to success."
To her little sister's nonchalance, Luna responded with a serious face, "A few bumps, Little Light? These past months, we've been spanked by big sis about once a week on average. That can't be described as 'a few bumps' anymore, right?"
Hearing this, Little Light was reminded of some not-so-pleasant memories, and subconsciously rubbed her little butt cheeks.
"Don't worry, second sis, I guarantee it will work this time!"
Little Light said, "I learned this manifestation array from mom's library. It won't harm big sis's body, but it can force the ghost inside her to appear."
Although the little sister patted her chest and guaranteed it with confidence, before every spanking in the past, she had also guaranteed "This time for sure."
After hesitating for a moment, Luna still nodded and agreed, "Alright, after all, we've been spanked so many times already, one more won't make a difference."
"Worthy of being the second princess of the Melkvei family, truly courageous."
"So what do we do now?", Luna asked.
"The book says this manifestation array requires two types of magic elements to activate."
Little Light said, "First, use lightning element as the initial power to activate the array, and when enough energy is stored, use fire element to make the ghost appear."
Listening to Little Light's explanation, Luna scratched her head, "Why does it sound like this array was tailor-made for me?"
Lightning and fire, not only the inherent elements of their Daddy and mom respectively, but also the two elements Luna had awakened as twins.
"Although it's a bit of a coincidence, the world is full of wonders. There will always be a few magic arrays that just happen to need lightning and fire to start, right?"
Luna nodded in sudden realization, "Ah, so that's it~"
"Mm-hm, then let's start, second sis."
"Okay!"
According to Little Light's instructions, Luna first gathered lightning element as the initial power to activate the array.
When the lines of the array began to glow with blue light, Luna slowly gathered fire element.
Little Light's eyes lit up. She didn't expect that though second sis was normally a lazy Buddhist-type slacker, she didn't drop the ball at critical moments.
The array's glow grew brighter and brighter, eventually attracting Noah's attention.
She slowly opened her eyes, "Luna... Little Light? What are you doing?"
"Oh no, big sis noticed."
"Keep going, second sis! We're almost there! For the sake of our butts, hang in there!"
"Oh, oh, okay!"
The two elements continued to pour into the array.
Seeing this, Noah immediately stood up, wanting to step forward, but was bound in place by the array's power, unable to move.
"What's going on, Little Light? What trick are you pulling now?"
"Big sis, just hang on a bit longer, we're about to make the ghost in your body appear."
"There is no ghost in my body. If you don't stop, I won't be polite to your butts."
Hearing big sis's "threat," Little Light felt a little nervous inside, but with the array in hand, she didn't have to worry about her butt for the time being.
"Don't listen to big sis, keep going, second sis!"
"Alright... alright..."
Noah tried throwing a punch.
But the punch hit the transparent wind wall raised by the array without any effect.
Noah didn't continue struggling, just calmly asked, "Little Light, are you sure this array can make the so-called ghost appear?"
Little Light nodded firmly, "Of course, I learned it from mom's library, it's definitely effective!"
"And if it doesn't work?"
"Impossible that it won't work!"
Little Light put her hands on her hips, full of confidence, proudly swaying her little tail, "If it doesn't work, our butts will be at your disposal, big sis, we absolutely won't resist."
Hearing this, Noah raised an eyebrow, her expression seeming to say "I've been waiting for you to say that."
"Alright then, since you've said so much, how could I not cooperate?", Noah said with a smile, slowly and leisurely.
Little Light froze, "Wh-what do you mean..."
"Nothing at all."
Noah calmly folded her arms, her smile growing, "I'll just quietly watch you two perform."
"Tch, now it must be the ghost controlling big sis's body, that's why she's saying this kind of thing. Second sis, push harder, we're almost there!"
"O-okay!"
The elemental energy from the array began swirling around Noah, the breeze gently lifting her hair and skirt.
But Noah still remained calm and unmoved.
When the energy dispersed and the glow of the array gradually faded, the so-called ghost still did not appear.
Little Light's eyes widened in shock, instinctively stepping back half a step. She stared blankly at big sis, stammering, "H-how could this be... the book clearly said it would work... could it be I drew the array wrong?"
"You didn't draw the array wrong, Little Light."
Noah slowly took a step toward her two sisters, "And this is actually a mid-to-high level magic array. For you to perfectly replicate it without systematic study of the subject is already very impressive."
Little Light frowned slightly, "Then why didn't it work..."
"Because this array was never meant to make ghosts appear."
Noah shrugged, "It's just a magic array for transferring magic power. Look."
As she spoke, Noah opened her hands, in one palm danced flickering lightning, in the other burned a blazing flame.
"Oh, so this is what it feels like to control fire magic."
Never having learned a second elemental magic, this was indeed Noah's first time controlling the power of fire.
"B-but that doesn't make sense, big sis, how did you know? I clearly—"
Little Light's words stopped abruptly, as if she had suddenly realized something.
She swallowed, "That book about making ghosts appear... you were the one who secretly put it there, weren't you?"
Noah narrowed her eyes with a satisfied smile, "That's right. Otherwise, why would a manifestation array require lightning and fire to activate? That doesn't make any logical sense at all."
"...Big sis, you're despicable!"
Noah spread her hands, "I just put something I casually wrote into mom's library. I never told you to follow it, how is that despicable?"
Happy Dragon's eye twitched slightly, her whole body tingling.
'Is this the advantage of age?'
'The older they get, the more they're like mom and aunt, full of bad ideas!'
'Wait—'
'If big sis is full of schemes, then why doesn't second sis have any?'
'They're supposed to be twins, damn it!'
"By the way, Little Light, what was it you just said?"
Noah cracked her knuckles, "If the array didn't work, your butts would be... at~ my~ disal~"
"...Second sis, run! Run fast!"
"Big sis, go easy on us, wuwu~"

[Ten Minutes Later]
The two little dragon girls lay under the cherry blossom tree, the burning pain on their butts making them not want to speak.
Noah sat cross-legged in front of them.
After a moment of silence, she reached out and poked Luna's little ahoge, "Your control of the two elements is already this proficient, Luna?"
"Mm...", Luna still buried her little face in the grass, muffling a hum.
The two sisters' rate of progress was indeed surprising.
Twin awakening itself was rare, and to be able to freely control both elements in just two years required long and relentless effort.
Perhaps, in unnoticed corners, Little Moon was also training hard.
After all, she went to Saint Xis Academy with the goal of catching up to Noah.
And Little Light, able to hand-draw this kind of mid-to-high level energy transfer array, her research talent was self-evident.
Daddy had also said that in the future timeline, it was thanks to Little Light's research on reverse magic that they returned to the present.
Good, this time's "entrapment enforcement" had some unexpected gains.
"Big sis...", Little Little Light said softly from the side.
"What?"
The pink-haired dragon girl turned her head, her cheek pressed to the grass, tearful eyes looking at Noah,
"Just tell us the truth, is that ghost really not hurting you?"
