"Isn't it impolite to just casually enter a woman's private quarters?"
She lay calmly on her back and asked in a composed tone.
Maggie's expression didn't change much, but in reality, she was on the verge of a mental breakdown. Although she knew that Spitbol and Sber were very strong, she never expected that they would dare to break into the temple and enter her room.
However, considering that their race was not actually overly controlled by the temple's barrier, she temporarily put her heart back in her stomach.
If they were undead or demons, they would naturally not dare to try to sneak into this place.
"There's nothing I can do; it's just too difficult to schedule an appointment with you."
A hint of trouble appeared on the younger brother's face, probably because he had been turned away by the nun. If everyone wanted to request a private meeting with the saint, Maggie wouldn't have time to do anything else all day, so his refusal was understandable.
The last time the twins were able to see Maggie in the temple, it was all thanks to the three mentors.
"...Actually, even if you hadn't come, I would have invited you myself sometime. Also, is it a little inconvenient to talk like this? Can you get up?"
Maggie's feelings were complicated, and her tone was somewhat speechless. Why was she so eager to see her?
In particular, she had just learned that the seal that imprisoned them was actually broken by her own hands, and seeing them again now felt like she had shot herself in the foot.
"Oh, indeed."
The younger brother, Spohr, seemed to realize something at first, and then both of them stood up straight, their eyes still fixed on her.
Maggie was still a little embarrassed, especially since she suffered from severe embarrassment. Now she could only sit stiffly in front of the dressing table and pretend to be nonchalant as she fixed her hair.
I should have listened to Little Ghost's advice and acted more ladylike when I was alone.
Thinking of this, Maggie glanced discreetly in the direction of the little ghost, and then saw the little ghost's gloating expression.
"..."
Very well, now you're even angrier.
Throughout Maggie's hair combing process, the twins remained silent, simply watching her back. Their handsome faces, reflecting in the mirror, seemed quite interested in watching her comb her hair, rather than finding it boring.
Just looking at their appearances, with red hair and black eyes, their features were mirror-like and symmetrically handsome, with bold and aggressive features. If they weren't sitting together in this situation, if Maggie didn't know their identities, she would be a different person.
She might even lose her mind and become infatuated.
As time passed, Maggie remained silent, and they showed no intention of speaking, simply watching her with keen interest.
This realization sent chills down Maggie's spine. It was quite similar to what the little ghost had said—that she seemed to be haunted by two vengeful spirits from the library.
Hmm... But the twins are really a great ship, and Maggie has read a lot of doujinshi and fanfiction about the two behind her.
Now that they were in the same room, the atmosphere was very strange. Finally, Maggie couldn't take it anymore and spoke first.
"What do you want? Now that the seal has been broken, our deal is over, isn't it?"
If these two try to renege on their promise and claim she didn't open the seal, Maggie will show them what a woman's wrath is all about.
"Of course, I came here specifically to thank Her Highness the Holy Maiden."
The older brother's expression is more composed than the younger brother's, and his tone is more even and gentle, but the difference is not significant, and most people cannot tell the difference.
When they were in their divine positions, the other gods mostly didn't know whether they were the elder brother or the younger brother.
But for some reason, even though Maggie had only read the comics and never seen the real people, she could still tell them apart. Those tiny differences were magnified infinitely in her eyes and ears, making them extremely easy to identify.
"No need."
Maggie paused in combing her hair, then calmly uttered four words.
“Just say what your purpose is. There’s no conflict of interest between you and me, so there’s no need for pretense.”
Actually, what she wants to do most right now is go to bed early; there's less than half an hour left until her latest bedtime.
“But we really came to thank Your Highness.”
The younger brother looked completely innocent.
"...Okay, now that you've finished thanking us, you can leave."
Maggie was speechless; she was completely unpredictable.
"?"
The air remained eerily silent for a quarter of an hour before finally, a bitter look flashed across the eyes of the older brother, Spielberg, and he spoke.
"We have been sealed for too long and are not familiar with the world. Since it was Her Highness the Holy Maiden who helped us break the seal, could you take us in for a while?"
Maggie's hand, which was combing her hair, froze in mid-air at her brother's words, and she almost couldn't help but show a "Are you guys crazy?" expression on her face.
Fortunately, Maggie had been pretending for so long that it had become a habit, and she didn't reveal her true feelings.
"Wouldn't it be great if you went to the academy to be students?"
Maggie countered with a question.
"Um... I messed it up."
The younger brother's guilty conscience was impossible to hide, and Maggie also remembered what had happened in the arena that day, and for a moment she was speechless.
I almost forgot that my younger brother is a real goofball and a troublemaker. I reckon he ruined his older brother's plans and that's why he came here.
Disguising their strength and age will not only disqualify them from the competition, but also lead to their expulsion from Ita Academy.
They were hired as outside help anyway, so now they don't even need to register for school; they can be kicked out immediately.
However, they are quite powerful. Magic academies are, to put it bluntly, a type of power. Would they really give up such powerful twins?
"The academy will not abandon you; playing the victim won't work."
Maggie firmly refused.
"Your Highness, it seems you are unaware that even while we were still competing, rumors that the Gemini would bring disaster had already spread throughout Santa Fe City."
Although her brother Spitbolt was clearly calm, Maggie inexplicably sensed a hint of sadness in his voice.
"...."
This time it was Maggie's turn to be speechless. She remembered that Burvin had told her about the parable of the 'twins'. Could it be that he was the one who spread it?
So now... are these two like rats crossing the street?
Thinking about it this way, it's actually quite funny. The mighty God of Fire is despised and left homeless; it's rather pitiful.
"Then I don't seem to have any reason to keep you here."
Maggie turned around and looked at them calmly.
It's not that Maggie is heartless, the key is that she already has one, two, or three gods by her side. If she takes in two more, it feels like she can quickly gather seven god positions and summon the seven Dragon Balls.
Seemingly surprised that Maggie would remain so indifferent after they showed weakness, the atmosphere became extremely awkward.
Then, her younger brother, Spur, suddenly stood up. His expression was indescribable, as if he was unwilling or awkward. He walked straight to Maggie, his head down and his eyes slightly drooping, like a pitiful little dog soaked in the rain. His tone was also very disappointed.
"Really not? Can't you take me and my brother in? Please... please..."
