“We aren’t ready.” Her other half said as she desded into the Soulscape.

  She khat of course, her Soul hadn’t healed that much, even after the best efforts done by Elizabeth, her [Soul] was damaged, no. That was an uatement, she was broken and patched together. And while Elizabeth had done her best to help her, even going as far as using her own [Power] to try and stitch her [Soul] together.

  “We ’t let her down, she is moving forward. If we slow down then we will bee a weight for her adva.” So she answered as such to her other half.

  She wasn’t sure why her other half was that of a little girl, what kind of trauma did this speak about her? But of course, she was aware of the type of woman she was, she didn’t eveo take a peek into her own [SoulGem] as Michael had done so.

  “We could fix it, you only o take it in.” Her other half spoke, and she felt it resoh the [SoulGem], “If we both work together we should be able to limit the effects, maybe we could even divert the memories aurge them. Beatrice should be able to help us with that.”

  “No,” Rossaline of course khat tion, she didn’t doubt that her daughter could help them either. That wasn’t the problem, she didn’t have a need for that past, and more importantly. “Elizabeth will his power, this [Gem]. I am not sure if I will be able to make one like this, and even if I …ces are it will not hold as much power as this one.”

  That was the crux of this problem, her [SoulGem] was brimming with power, with [Mana], it was as if the thing had been harvesting and molding [Mana] feions, stockpiling it little by little.

  “Elizabeth will be sad if we fail.” Her other half pointed out, “...should we fail…in the best case sario it will cripple our [Mana Circuits]...”

  She could live with that.

  “In the worst case, we will die.” And while she couldn’t live with that….

  “Elizabeth will bring us back,” She wouldn’t o, she had full trust in her Girlfriend, in her lover, in her [Bea of Hope]. “Elizabeth will raise us from the dead, just like she did for Aura. And even if we are on the brink of destru…she will pull us out, just as she did with Rena.”

  “And then, you will be bound to her. We will be bound to her, no matter her opinion.” Her other half said with a sigh, “She will not like this result, and you know she wants an equal retionship.”

  “...She does now, but you also saw her with Rena.” Rossalied this part of her, “She was so proactive…so domineering….so… entig….”

  She hated it, how Elizabeth moved forward to kiss Rena, how she fondled her breast, how her hand snaked dowween the red-haired legs…how her eyes hungered for the irl. SHE WAS ALWAYS THERE FOR HER! SHE ONLY O SAY THE WORD AND SHE WOULD BE ON HER KNEES IF NEEDED!

  “It is your insecurities the ohat almost made Elizabeth break the [Lock].” Her other half chimed, “You know the reason for Elizabeth’s ge. The reason why yirlfriend has so much pent-up lust.”

  “I know, my [Sin] is leaking up towards her. But if we break it….” Rossaline had thought about it, she wao know if Elizabeth would reform it or not. If the blonde girl would really still [Love] her even without her [Mana] attempting to taint her…

  “She would make a new one, you are uimating how much she loves us.” Her other half had more faith in their retionship, wasn’t that a funny thing? “You may be the o the front, but I’m the oh the more normal upbringing.”

  “Ahat doesn’t ge what I must do.” Answered back Rossaline Singh, “We will breakthrough….Are you ready? Michelle Campbell?”

  “...We will probably die, and you will make Elizabeth cry tears of blood.” Answered her other half, the little girl whose future was stolen with a [Hero Summoning], and the one who awoke within her [Soul] the same day Rossaline Singh held the [SoulGem], “Fine, I don’t know, whatever…Let’s hope for the best…Rossaline Singh.”

  “Job Evolutio [High Healer].” Rossaline Singh said not even looking at the options, she robably offered plenty of jobs from [Gods] and [Magical Girl] variants, probably a few unsavory ooo.

  But she still would pick the job evolution that aligned her the most with the identity that Elizabeth liked of her, she never once presented her as a [Magical Girl], but as [Her Favorite Healer]. So Rossaline Singh would be that.

  She would be what Elizabeth wanted her to be, she didn’t like healing that muor ehe gratitude from other people she took care of at the ic. She smiled at them of course, she spoke with them, she enced them, she scolded them, and she helped them.

  But if any of them died, she wouldn’t look at them twice. She would soothe the family of course, and if they pester her enough she may even attend the funeral to speak ies of the dead, but that was about it. She didn’t hold care nor love for them, was it because her [Soul] was cracked? Or was this how she was?

  She…wasn’t sure. She khat if the o risk or in pain was Elizabeth, that she would mourn and cry, she had dohat already, either because of guilt or because of grief. And while the previous attempt from [The World] for healing her [Soul] had been in vain as she cracked it open once more, she…wasn’t as devoid of emotions as before.

  While before she would put up a mockery of emotions when she was angry or jealous, nowadays? She truly felt it, she was green with envy when Elizabeth answered the kiss from Rena, she was happy when Elizabeth looked at her, kissed her, caressed her…

  And she was worried that her parents would do something stupid, not because of fear for what they could do, but because she feared that Elizabeth would ditch her. And when Elizabeth said with a pained expression that she would cut the [Lock] if that would reassure her of the Love the blonde girl felt for her?

  She was happy. But now?

  Now she truly uood ain] was.

  “AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH???????????H??????????????????H???????????H?????????????????????H????????????????????H??????” As she felt her [Soul] start crag open like an egg.

  She wasn’t sure if her other half was screaming with her or not, but what she knew was that soon enough the raging mana that was c through her body would make her burst. The first thing she did was “[Soul]... [Mending]....” Cast a simple healing spell to try and fix the cracks that started to spread across her [Soulscape].

  She didn’t trust herself to cast a full pound spell, not at the moment. Not now, so she used one of the plex spells she had on the side, “....Be….careful…with….the….mana….discharges….” Her other half said.

  Just in time as she fell to the floor, pushed to the side, looking up she fouher half with a hole iorso, the pink-haired girl's image vanishing and being repced by a brown-haired girl. An…. average-looking girl.

  “Michelle?” Rossaline asked, the irl nodded and then was ravaged by multiple mana discharges as the girl acted like a lightning rod.

  Why had that happened? A Mana Discharge should work outwards not inwards.

  “....ah.” Rossaline uood as she heard a crystal break, and the exterior of the apartment became apparent to her, she soon found herself in a ruined house, it felt…nostalgic.

  Looking downwards she could see herself sitting in the apartment within Elizabeth’s Soulscape, sitting with her eyes closed as cracks made of golden light started showing in her body.

  And on this side? She could see those same cracks, only not only in her body, but in the ruined house, in the floor, ceiling, walls, and even in the sky. “Was…was the [Soulscape] within Elizabeth fake?” Rossaline asked to no one.

  “No, it was real. I could perceive it, I could i with it, and my [Love] was real enough that it mao do the impossible…” And thinking about how both Rena and Aura had arrived there, “And even made it possible for others to see how great Elizabeth is!”

  Yes, she had mao make it. Even if she didn’t like the idea of sharing Elizabeth with others, but if it meant that more people could see it…she…”I won’t mind sharing her so long they uand how wonderful Elizabeth really is…” And saying those words…made her heart calm down, she could feel how her [Soul] moved oep closer to being healed up…

  “As…we aren’t a fairy tale.” A v???????o???????i?????????????????c????????e???????? spoke behiurning to look behind, Rossaline found… A [Woman] looking down at her, she was wearing a bck ga dress, and like her. She ink-haired woman. “But not everything is lost yet, Rossaline Singh. You may still save yourself.”

  “Who are you?” Rossaline asked, she felt as if this woman was someone she knew, a… Couldn’t pinpoint who it was.

  “I am…An old friend, in my line of job I help some kind of people get what they hey waertai? I get them the right type of fels to eain them. Do they need help fixing something? I sent them the kind of people that fix their problems…” The woman said with a mysterious smile, “And if they want to find what kind of person they really are…Well, I help them find the right work for that.”

  “That doesn’t a, nor expin how you are here…” Rossaline said as she tried to mold some mana…only for blood to burst from her mouth.

  “Tut-tut-tut, trying to cast a spell while your mana is rampaging through your soul? And here I thought you were the smart ohe woman ughed at her, then while pointing down she added “Remember Rossaline, you are about to Die.”

  No, she wouldn’t. And even if she did….

  “Then what? ‘Elizabeth will bring me back’?” The woman smirked at her, “You are wrong, Elizabeth may be able t the dead back. But she needs something t you back, your Soul will burst in a thousand pieces, and she will not be able t you back. She may bring something, but that will not be you… you imagi? The love of your life…kissing a mockery of you? Doing love to ay vessel with your face? She may break. No…She will break.”

  ….No…nonononononono.

  Had…had she made a mistake? No, impossible!

  ELIZABETH BROUGHT BACK AURELIA VITELIUS AND SHE HAD BEEN DEAD FOR A YEAR AND SOME! HER SOUL WAS ALMOST GONE!

  “A, it wasn’t gone. Besides you ’t pare yourself with her. That girl was blessed with her sed ce. She was, after all… [The Maiden of Space] as you humans like to say it.” The woman said while smirking her way, “Do you want to live? To survive?”

  And so, the pink-haired womaended her hand towards her, she…didn’t want to take it, she knew what this was, this reeked like a tract with anod], she didn’t want it, she would not be made into a pawn of [The World] again.

  “Oh no, you are wrong Rossaline Singh.” The woman smiled deviously at her, “You are s that it isn’t even fun. It’s disgusting, a mere mortal thinks itself worthy of being my servant?”

  And the pressure crashed down into her, it was for a moment, only a sed, a. She felt as if her [Soul] was about to crack open…and a sed ter as if nothing had happened she was once more at the same point she was before. The cracks that extended all over her soul when that oke were no lohere. As if they weren’t there in the first pce.

  Her soul was still in a dangerous spot.

  “What do you wao do?” Rossaline asked, wary of the answer. But the woman just said that she would not be beholden to her. So perhaps…

  “I want you to look at the job options, and to take the ohat will show up after you read them.” The woman smirked.

  That was it?

  “That is it, think it as a favor to someone who may one day walk with me.” The woman said and a sed ter she was gone.

  “....Mother?.....Finish….Quickly….I am….dealing…..with….the….mana….” She felt the transmission arrive, was that Beatrice?

  A thought was all she had needed for the information about what was happening in the real world to arrive at the back of her mind, how her daughter was taking in the rampaging mana and funneling it back to her in a more sedated form, all in an attempt to help her…

  How Aura stood at the side of Elizabeth whose eyes were closed…

  How Rena stood between both girls with her sword drawn, a look of worry in her eyes…

  Hah!

  Rena was worried for her when she should have taken the ce to finish her off…Really…that girl, like Elizabeth, was too good for her own good. They needed someo the side who uood how dangerous the world was…

  They needed her.

  “Show me the job options, and make it fast.” Rossaline Singh said as she summohe blue s that she despised the most.

  Notice:

  Job evolution is in progress, you may only ge it into a higher tier job if you are within the first sed of job evolution.

  You have [15 Seds] before your job o longer be ged.

  [Warning: Soul iy at risk, please select a job with a sturdy soul-healing effect for survival.]

  [ce fo Survival with current job selected: 0%]

  Well, that was somewhat worse than she had thought it would be, she at least expected to have a 1% ce of survival. But for it to be 0%...

  Either way, at least the timer wasn’t moving down…She was in this slowed-down world with all the time in the world to pick a job…A, she khat her time was limited.

  “Options…give me the stupid options…” Rossaline said looking at the blue s and dismissing the warning.

  The list went on with other less…normal and appealing jobs, some focused on her more….unhinged acts, while the tter ones were somewhat entig. She wasn’t quite sure how she had qualified for either [Jack The Ripper] or [Florenightingale].

  Okay, that was a lie, she was aware of what of her as had made her viable for being [Jack The Ripper]’s successor. But [Florenightihe mother of nursing? The first woman who made a chore into one of the most renowned jobs? The precursor for healing and care of the sick?

  If [Odyssey] was the mother of all magical girls, then [Florenightingale] was the mother of all nurses. And there were way more han [Magical Girls].

  And then, the apostle se. Of course, she was offered many, these were the important ones, and the list went on and on with names of [Fake Gods] and [Pseudo Deities]. She could evehe ohat had tracted with the student cil girl. Selen Dawnstrike.

  But no…She was told to ighose and pick the ohat showed after. But nothing was showing up? Had that womao her?

  “Where is the st one, are you keeping things from me?” Rossaline said gring at the blue s.

  She could see the ces she would have of survival with those jobs, so she could pie of those if nothing showed up. And then that happened. She felt the embrace of what she could only describe as the [Divine]. It was warm, soothing, loving…

  As if everything would be okay as if the hideous wounds in her [Soul] weren’t that ugly. She hated them, she loathed the wounds that made her who she was, and the same ohat made her g to Elizabeth like a starved-for-emotion woman. The ohat tied Elizabeth down to her.

  A…. She almost could hear the whisper at the back of her mind reassurielling her how much she was loved…How much Elizabeth cared for her, how her past didn’t define her, how it made her beautiful.

  She felt the warmth embrace of something around her as if a loviy reassured her, and slowly but surely her soul started to heal. The cracks diminished in size, her mana calmed down, and those wounds in her [Soul] slowly meself, not like before.

  While before her [Soul] was closing and leaving scars in some parts, while in others the gouges had been closed with shadow threads…This time, the cracks turned into golden lines with azure-like decorations on the side.

  And almost as if waiting for the opportunity a new s showed itself in front of Rossaline Singh.

  Job Evolution Open:

  -Acolyte of Shadows.

  -Cleric of Shadows.

  -Apostle of Shadows.

  -Magical Girl - Saintess of Healing.

  -Saintess of Healing.

  -Apostle.

  She didn’t o check to what entity these jobs would tie her to, nor what it would do to her. No, she already knew.

  “Always…I will always follow after you…My Elizabeth.” So she picked the oion she knew Elizabeth thought of her.

  Not the one she wanted, not the ohat would bio Elizabeth at the level she desired. No, being in a retionship meant that one had to think about their partner after all. And besides…If she spooked Elizabeth she may not walk this path…And if the world was to know how great Elizabeth was.

  Then Rossaline Singh was willing to make some sacrifices, the world would know soon enough of the ohat was walking into godhood.

  And if to achieve that she o be a [Saintess of Healing] to make it happen, she would do it. After all… What better [Goddess] to tie herself than her girlfriend?

  Yes, she could live with this…And she could eveh this if needed. Not that she would, no. She would live, for as long as Elizabeth was in the mortal world she would be at her side. But for nht now she o open her eyes in the real world. Her [Soul] was already mending itself, instead of hideous wounds all over all she could see were pathways where the loving caress of Elizabeth’s Prana flowed, healing.

  “ROSSIE! IF YOU DON’T WAKE UP I SWEAR TO GOD I WILL BURN THIS WORLD TO ASHES!” Was the first thing she heard when her eyes started opening.

  And sure enough, she saw the g face of her girlfriend, why was she g? Didn’t she know that she was fine? She had healed her after all.

  “DON’T YOU DARE DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS AGAIN!” A…Rossaline found herself in the loving embrace of the g blonde.

  “It’s okay Eli-Eli. I knew I could do it, even if I used a little of your help.” She said while hugging the irl.

  At the back, she could see Beatrice sleeping in Aura’s p, and Rena at their side. The red-haired girl just nodded in her dire. And Rossaline found herself…nodding back at the irl, the flustered face she put on was amusing.

  Wait, amusing? She found Rena…amusing?

  “Rossie? Is something wrong? Do you need a healer?” The flustered voice of her girlfriend surprised her, “QUICK! GET ME A HEALER! NO. GET ME THE GODDAMNED [PROPHET] THAT BITCH BETTER MAKE SOMETHING USEFUL IN HER GODFORSAKEN LIFE FOR ONCE!”

  “It’s okay Eli-Eli, I’m fine. Besides, I’m the best healer around, remember?” She said to the bimbo of a girlfriend she had, “This is more now than ever.”

  And with a flick of her wrist, she summoned her [Status S], it was iing. No evidence of the real importance of her new job was to be seen anywhere. But Rossaline khat if she focused on her job, she could find the shadows dang within.

  But right now? It only stated [Magical Girl - Saintess of Healing]. And nothing else.

  Perhaps Rena could also achieve something like this? She would o speak with her, in private.

  “Thank god…I was scared…I tried to help you with the mana discharges, but lost sciousness at some point. I think my [Heart] tinued funneling the mana back….did it help?” Elizabeth asked her, she just looked so adorable.

  “Yes, but you know what could help me more?” So adorable that she wae her whole, “A kiss.”

  But not now, not at this moment. At this very moment? All she wanted was to kiss the girl she loved…And maybe think of a new prayer to offer, she had, after all. Found a [Goddess] she was willing to dedicate her life to. Even if said entity was the girl she Loved.
