The room had turned silent after the test reveal; Elizabeth had expected…something a little stronger rea; she had effectively told them that they weren't quite entirely human after all. She wasn't sure if this was good or not, but at least Rossie seemed to have calmed down a little from the heavy mood she had before. Elizabeth could even feel a small tinge of Hope ing from their shared link.

  "So… we see her?" Rossie suddenly said while she turo Elizabeth. " we see Beatrice?"

  …Now this one Elizabeth had known this would e…

  "... I'm sorry." Elizabeth apologized, after all, she didn't really had a way to fulfill that one desire.

  "Not even from afar? Is it that bad?" Rossie asked while c her mouth with one of her hands. Elizabeth could see her lips trembling.

  "No! It's not that!" Elizabeth quickly said, grabbing both hands of Rossie, "Trust me, she is fine!"

  Elizabeth had no way of showing that of course, not really.

  "Then?" Rossie asked fused, she looked as if she didn't believe Elizabeth, "Why 't we see her then?"

  "She…Beatrice..:" Elizabeth said slowly, "She is…outside of my area of influence."

  "How is that possible? Didn't you take her Soul?" Rena said from the side, the red-haired girl was too sharp (And cute) at the worst times possible!

  "I mean…yeah, I took her in. I assume that she nning on joining the circle of transmigration of my Shadons and being reborn as a new Shadon ter on. But…well, Alid Chloe helped me a little, but at the same time…" Elizabeth said trying to pull at the e she had with those two.

  Don't bother us Elizabeth!

  We are fixing the holes your crazy maid left on the Divine Realm. Do you have any idea how hard it is to keep this pce running?!?!?

  Wait, what? ...

  The psychopath that got herself a heart. Are you for real? Does this even make sense...Fine!

  But she owes us!

  And we will ask for payment for this ter on, mark my words!

  Elizabeth saw two bck ss, the first one was the usual mood of annoya Elizabeth, but the sed, the sed had what she wanted. A small frame with a picture of a small fme. A pitifully small fme dang in a mp.

  It had small motes of pink light dang here and there with sparks of azure fire, Elizabeth didn't have a clear sight of it, of course, si icture and not a video.

  “...Beatrice…how….small….” But it was enough for Rossie to look, Elizabeth willed the image to leave the proje and pri into a piece of paper, then it was merely taking one of the photo frames Mother had around to sti and presto!

  Elizabeth gave the photo to Rossie and slowly walked out of the room. Rena followed her in silence while they let Rossie e to terms with what had happened and what would happen iure.

  Elizabeth didn't mind it that much the wish that Rossie had, she had e to terms with….the possibility of being parent iure. Rossie had been quite vocal about it after all. Was it from insecurity? Or from an ho desire to have the crystalization of their love being born?

  Elizabeth wasn't quite sure, but it cost her nothing, and since Rossie was going to be the oo deliver, it wouldn't hurt Elizabeth at all! So it was a win all over the pce!

  Also she was sure that any daughter born from Rossie would be cute! And cute was justice!

  …Elizabeth was going all over the pce again, being stressed with all of this roblem.

  "Eli?" Rena suddenly spoke to her, " we…talk?"

  ….oh no.

  "Sure, let's go to Papa's study; it is soundproofed, so we will not o worry about b Rossie," Elizabeth said, walking towards her Papa's study, all the while w what she had done. Why Rena wao speak with her? Was she angry? Did she want a daughter too?

  Rena had said that she wasn't sure that she could gnant nine months, so she would not be the oo birth any daughters they had! But Elizabeth wasn't ready!

  She was barely ing to terms with the fact of getting one girlfriend pregnant! Now she was going to get herself pregnant?!?!?!?

  This was moving so fast!

  "We o talk." Rena said seriously as she closed the door behind her. She looked so grumpy, serious, hot, and sexy…Focus Elizabeth!

  "Yes," Elizabeth nodded while she sat on the chair her Papa used, that was one very fy chair.

  "The bastards that caused all of this, we o deal with them." Rena suddenly said.

  The who did what?

  "How should we go about it?" Rena asked, her eyes showed wrath. Pure and unadulterated fury, "They are responsible for everything, aren't they? Maybe they 't be put at fault for what happeo Beatrice, but they sure as hell helped."

  I'm sorry? Rena? What?

  "You…are sure? We could use some vacations. I don't mind…" Elizabeth said she… wasn't quite that ready to start a neaign after all.

  "Yes, this is not only for me. But for Rossie, too, I know you also want to deal with them and are restraining yourself for our sake. But it's okay, Eli, we are with you." Rena was so uanding, so f…But was Elizabeth fetting something?

  "I mean, they kidnapped Reginald. And while that may not be the reason, I am sure they are involved in how the events ended going about. No way someoh the might of Jenna would use a spell like that ter your Pride by mistake, they must have done something to make sure she would do that." Rena spat with hate in her voice, "The Gaxidae must pay for making Rossie sad."

  ….Ah.

  Right….that was a thing that happened….

  Elizabeth had almost fotten about them with all that had happened, but yeah…they got that clue in the middle of the previous disaster that the Gaxidae were at fault for messing around in the back from the very beginning…

  "If you are sure…" Elizabeth said trying to py it off the fact that she had ONCE AGAIN almost fotten something important. Perhaps she o spend more time ohunder Queen] form?

  "Yes, and when we are cutting heads. I want to yself too." Rena said, summoning her blood-red Katana, "They must pay for making Rossie cry."

  ….yep, her hot samurai girlfriend was sexy as hell. What did Elizabeth do to deserve her again? Ah, right, save her from Akira.

  "Okay, but we o go about this the right way. We fumbled our way in Germania and look how that got us." Elizabeth said she would not make the same mistake twice.

  "...fair." Rena nodded, "But how do we go about that? Do we know any links to the Gaxidae?"

  …really?

  "We do, actually," Elizabeth said, raising her finger and summoning one of the pamphlets they gave her in the first year, "The student cil."

  The pamphlet iion had the picture of Evangeline Gaxidae, the student cil president, "She is part of the Gaxidae and has quite an iing title, or had it at least." Elizabeth said, summoning the old status s from her memories and projeg the Title.

  [Gaxidae's Heir]

  [Servant of The Akashic Records]

  Two of the three titles, the third wasn't that important for her discussion after all. It mattered not if she would bee an S-Tier Hero or not after all.

  Not to Elizabeth with her current power anyway.

  "Servant of The Akashic Records?" Rena said after reading the Title, "What is this Akashic Records? Another enemy?"

  That…was a very dangerous thought process, was her hot sexy girlfriend dumb? That was quite unfortunate.

  "Here, Identify," Elizabeth said, summoning her skill to provide the description of both titles.

  Gaxidae's Heir:

  Among the a families that spread their influence over Zaanam, there were many who strived to make the world a better pce. Some only strived to make their power more important. And very few did attempt to make the world a better pce.

  The Gaxidae are a family that was blessed by The World on its iion, they got a single mission, and while they never were particurly lucky ot powers superior to others, they were among the first that when awakening pot a different one.

  Those who are heirs to this family all awoke the same power: Appraisal. They could categorize how things worked within the world and helped record these powers into Akasha. They built up the library of records for The World and in turn, were blessed with more information than anyone else.

  Those who hold the title of Heir are guaranteed a seat of honor within The World’s servants upon their demise.

  May the light of knowledge shine brightly upon the world.

  ————————————————————————

  Servant of the Akashic Records:

  Title grao those who received guidance or a mission directly from The World, those who wield this title are blessed by Fate. They have access to more information and power and will always have loyal servants uheir and. People with goals that align with them, they will know no failure and will not be restrained by society, money, or power. Their mission will make sure they survive all adversities.

  Stand proud, loyal servant, for your mission will not be easy.

  —————————————————————

  Akasha:

  The Akashic Records are the metaphysical pendium of all knowledge and experience, including every thought, word, and a, both past and future. They are a library, database, fortress, or simply a reservoir where all the knowledge is stored and nurtured.

  The Akashic Records exist in all Worlds within their Core; they allow life to tinue a the existence of a circle of transmigration. And is responsible for a healthy p. So long Akasha exists, no world will ever perish, and within the vaults of knowledge, new life will sprout on the p.

  [So be wary, Elizabeth Starbright, for you are also walking the path of Akasha.]

  "...So we must also kill the world, huh?" Rena said dangerously, Elizabeth felt the mana within the room slightly tremble at that statement.

  "No, nope. No sir, stop thinking about that!" Elizabeth quickly said in a rush, feeling the ambient mana slowly settle down, "We just o be aware. I don't think we are enemies of the World quite yet."

  "Then? She seems to be tied to this Akasha thing." Rena asked fused, this girl…. not everything was solved by cutting it in two!

  Granted, very many things could be solved that way! But still!

  "All the student cil are like that." Elizabeth said, summoning the titles of the other members, "But only Evangeline is tied to Akasha; the others are tied to her."

  —blue s, other student cil dudes—-

  And that was an important distin.

  "And more importantly, Evangeline showed as only [Heir], not [S] or [Leader], she has the qualities to be their leader, but as far as I know, she is not keen on intervention. It was the same with your problem, so long the ones ag are [Heroes] chosen by the [World] she will not act." Elizabeth was fident in that, she had asked after all.

  "So?" Rena asked, tilting her head slightly to the side, cute.

  "Well, both you and Rossie are [Heroes chosen by the world], and while I may not be one, I am a [Hero] chosen by the [System], thanks to Mother," Elizabeth smirked summoniitle and the titles of Rossie and Rena.

  –blue ss of those–

  "Oh…so you will attempt to use our identities to get some information within the Gaxidae?" Rena asked as she uood what Elizabeth wanted.

  Or at least what Elizabeth projected she wao be ho before this versation she hadn't really thought much about this.

  "Exactly." Even so, she couldn't look bad in front of her girlfriend! So she took the praise! "We will ask them if they know about the interlopers Reginald showed us; if they know, then we will just say that they interrupted something endorsed by their previous [World]."

  Elizabeth felt the ambient mana recoil just a little; was it offended because of what she said? But it was the truth…

  "I see, we frame these people as enemies against the world and use their internal information to flush them, then we chop their heads and those of the people that start wanting to defend them, I like it." Rena the pn.

  Why did it always include cutting heads? Did Rena have a thing with cutting heads? Elizabeth was sure she would look cute doing it, especially if she ughed a little as the blood sptted her body…

  Elizabeth could imagine some drops falling onto her chest, then Elizabeth bringing a handkerchief and ing it while scolding her for pying with her food…And then they would go take a shower because the blood didn't get ed well enough…Together…and Rossie would barge in on the middle…

  "Eli?" Rena suddenly spoke to her, bringing her out of her fantasy.

  "Ah? Sorry? Did you say something?" Elizabeth o release some of her pent-up stress; she was starting to fantasize more often about her girlfriends in some quite riske situations…

  "How much should we tell Rossy?" Rena asked, "She will know something is up, but should we frame it as us going to get justice for them screwing our vacations? Or just settling some debts?"

  …Elizabeth was not quite sold ohe Gaxidae caused Elizabeth to rampage out of trol and ultimately ended irice's core breaking' thing.

  "We will tell her that we are squaring old debts, but that's about it. We were going to go after them anyway, so nothing really ges there." Elizabeth said as an answer, "We do o check them; my current situation means that I am not quite…in the same wavelength as everyone else after all, I may end up as ao them since my owence is moving far away from the norm."

  "You think?" Rena smirked as if it was the most obvious thing, "You are way better than anything that has walked this p before, so if they 't appreciate it, then they must be purged."

  …that is quite the extremist reaiss Rena. Why do you look so sexy while demanding people's heads?

  "We o give them a ce to expin themselves, no way they didn't know that Reginald was in a mission sponsored by the world." Elizabeth tried to not think too mu her girlfriend prolictivities, she was ign most of Rossie psychotic behaviour anyway. What was a little beheading for her other cute girlfriend.

  "Fair, but as soon as we find the enemies among them, we start chopping heads," Rena grumbled.

  She also looked cute while grumbling.

  "Okay, so…any thoughts about Rossie wanting to be a Mother?" Elizabeth said, turning the versation away from the beheading.

  "...she will be a good Mother." Rena said after thinking for a whole minute, "I… don't remember much about my own Mother."

  ….dang it.

  "I'm sorry," Elizabeth said back, she…was not the best oo talk about that, while she had her own share of personal trauma.Hers was usually not reted to her family or her early life.

  "It's fine." Rena shrugged, "I did not have too much time to think about them, and most of my memories about them got buogether into that [Gem of Wrath], so any memories I had probably weren't good."

  ….damnation, had Elizabeth taken those memories? Maybe she could give them back?

  "Don't get me wrong, Elizabeth, I don't mind this. I know there are many memories I have missing, most probably aren't good. So I am happy like this, making a new life, new memories with you and Rossie." Rena said, smiling at her, "Also…I will enjoy that too, raising a little girl born from the two people I love the most."

  ….How this red-haired be so cute!!!?!?!?!?!?? This is a crime! A crime against all that is cute!

  "...you…we also get one for you, you know? We synch them up so that you also have one." Elizabeth said, all her doubts about being a Mother thrown out of the window.

  Was this a bad idea? Irresponsible? Perhaps! But Rena deserved to know what it felt like to be a Mother!

  She was this cute! How could she be a bad Mother!?!?

  If Catheriarlight could be a Mother, then Watanabe Rena could also be one!

  Elizabeth decided it!

  "...are you sure?" Rena asked sheepishly, slightly blushing at the idea, "I'm not as good as you with my mana manipution…So I might be slightly rough…"

  "YOU BE AS ROUGH AS YOU WANT!" Elizabeth screamed, almost salivating at the idea. She, of course, trolled herself quite easily (She did not), and after thinking about what she said, Elizabeth slowly coughed into her hand and refocused, "I mean, that is fine. Your love will never hurt me, and even if it could. I am quite sturdy; if needed, I will just shift into a more sturdy form. There are very few things that could hurt me if I go into my more sturdy forms."

  …She always had the [Dragon] form to return to after all, she didn't want to use it too often, but if it would soothe Rena's fear that was a sacrifice she was willing to make.

  Also the idea of being dominated on her more [Prideful] form into submission….well, that one made Elizabeth feel a tingle she wasn't quite sure what to think about.

  "...then I'll take you on the offer. I'll start practig my mana manipution; I don't want to hurt…our daughter…or you." And in that note Rena bursted into a sphere of fire, the fire never damaged or singed anything.

  "Yeah, bashful Rena is also cute…" Elizabeth nodded as the st vestiges of her red-haired wild girlfriend disappeared, "Aura. I hope you took pictures of this."

  Elizabeth was in an isoted room, ohat her Papa prepared to discuss the most importas of his vocation. There was no way anyone could peek at her here, not even the member of the [Twelve] at their best could do it.

  "Of course I did Mistress, who you take me for? Do you want one of your faces with you salivating at the idea of being utterly domioo?" Aura said as she teleported, sitting on the same chair that Rena had left.

  Ohing was leaving, that was easy, but ing in from the outside? That was…

  "Of course. Also, add any video you have takely, and add some pictures of Rena's training mooo." Elizabeth was more and more vinced about what Aura had told her before. And she was making a good idea about the identity of the maid.

  "As you wish, but you didn't called me for this did you?" Aura said, passing her a data bank. Elizabeth teleported it straight to her personal archive within the shadow spire.

  "Of course not, what are your thoughts on the Gaxida?" Elizabeth wao know from someone whose perception wasn't tainted.

  "They are…problematic; most of them are shielded in some mahat prevents me from going too close. The student president is one such case. If you really want to make an enemy of them, beware not only about them. But also from those that are uheir umbrel. Not only those that wield the st name of Gaxidae will be your enemies." Aura said those words and teleported away.

  What did that mean?

  Elizabeth would o check again and make sure everything was in order…dang it, she still only wao ze around….
