1065 The Origin
“I met one already!” I couldn’t take her haughty tone of superiority. I wasn’t lying, I already met and had one major by my side thanks to these enemies.
“Don’t lie, I can tell just by a single look at your face.”
“I’m not! Just watch it by yourself then… Come out!”
I controlled my chariot and released the all locked Hilary. All this time, she was locked inside my chariot.
The moment she came out, she moved her eyes around. She wore just two thin pieces of cloth, looking like two thin threads of fabric, not a real and proper cloth.
“This… Who is she?” perplexed, she pointed at Hilary with a face slightly reddened, “did you bring your girls with you to battle? Are you this lustful?”
“Lustful my ass! It’s her… It’s one of the enemies!”
“Enemy my ass! Do you think I didn’t meet them? She looks nothing like those ugly and bloody folks!”
“That seat…” just in the middle of our pointless quarrel, Hilary’s eyes suddenly show up as her body trembled.
And as she did, a thick and vulgar black aura kept rising from her with such aroma that would drive any man crazy.
“This scent…” the moment that fog appeared, the face of Berry dropped and a blackened face replaced that arrogant one from earlier. “How come… No way…”
“Take it away first,” I felt something was amiss. Hilary’s body started to twist and something seemed to crawl deep inside her body, “go down there!”
Before even waiting for Berry to cooperate, I moved Hilary instantly inside my chariot and locked the door.
*Bang!*
Just when I did it, a violent bang occured and my entire chariot trembled. Damn! My chariot never trembled unless it was met with a formidable and scary enemy.
What was exactly inside the body of my Hilary? Poor girl… It was all on me… This curse… Damn!
Who would get cursed with his loved ones? It was a curse that transcended logic and mercy.
“Such might… It can’t be false… She is one of them?!!!” the look of shock appeared on Berry’s face.
Come on girl! If you were having such a hard time believing it, how would I feel then? She was my girl, and I got her to curse by being with me.
“Cough, cough… She is my girl…” I tried to explain but didn’t know how to really tell.
“Your girl? She was like you? But…”
“Her soul merged with one of a demoness, whatever that may mean,” I helplessly shrugged before telling a short version of my story.
“Oh… So that means…” her eyes suddenly sparkled in anticipation when she heard my words, “damn! You got such a golden chance and you didn’t even know about it! How unfair!”
Like a little girl, she stomped her feet on the edge of her ship, making it all tremble.
Girl… How much strength did you use just now to cause this ship to tremble like this? Or was it a weak ride, only show and no act?
“First…” above everything else, I expressed my sincerity by what I showed and told, “tell me your side of the story.”
“Oh, about that… I can but you have to promise me something first.”
“Tell…”
“Promise to call me your little sister.”
“Little… Sister? Come on! You are older and even more experienced than me in the knowledge of all this… You shall be my senior.”
“Senior my ass! No way! Hell no! If you do it, then forget it! Let’s be enemies better.”
“…”
My scalp went numb for a second when I heard what she said. She was the one going all over the place speaking about how we were mates and such.
And now she was just threatening to go to war with me over such a trivial matter? It was a calling, what was special about it then?
“Fine, you are my little sister then,” helplessly I complied.
*Fwoosh!*
And just as I did, she suddenly vanished and all I could feel was a gust of wind on my face.
“Thanks big brother, I never had one, do you know that?”
I looked down and saw her hugging my body. Reflexively I clinched on my glaive tighter, waiting for any trick or ill intended movie to come from her.
Yet after a few minutes, all she did was rest her head over my chest, hugging me as if I was the only person that mattered to her in the world.
“Phew, that feeling… Isn’t it great to have a big brother? One who can shield wind and rain for you?” she chuckled, looking up at me with a crescent shaped dark eyes.
“I… Can’t tell as I never got someone like that,” I honestly said, while assessing this weirdo for the tenth time.
Was she… For real? Was the bloody and scary Berry I kept hearing about?
“Oh… So you are… Just like me…” all of sudden her eyes turned all red and I even saw sparkles of tears forming in her eyes before she hurriedly wiped it. “Don’t worry big brother, you got a little sister by your side as well. Even if it was just a calling, I’ll also abide by it and will support you.”
I blinked twice, especially when she formed a fist and waved it towards me, “I’m not weak, so don’t worry about anyone bullying you in this universe.”
“This universe?” I managed to pick the peculiar word she said.
“Oh, I forgot that you just arrived,” she patted her forehead, “listen big brother. This world you see isn’t just a single world, it isn’t the only world here. Just like the places we both came from, this one here is a world belonging to a massive universe. And…”
She paused before her face turned serious as she added, “This universe carries an important name, one that you shall engrave deep in your heart and soul. Big brother, this universe is called the origin.”
