Chapter 201 Should We Tell Him?
Silence followed his question as they smiled softly at him.
There was no way they weren't tied to his system if they could be found in his spatial library.
Their unsettling smiles had him anxious for answers, 'Who are they, HTC?!'
[Loading... Searching...]
A moment later, Rin speaks up, "we don't know either, Lord Hisha!"
She giggles lightly causing Hisha to frown deeply.
'This is definitely not something funny.'
Afterward, she continues in a whisper, "but we've been instructed to follow your orders no matter how strange they may seem!"
'Who the fuck ordered you two, it's as simple as that! How can I trust you two if all you say is off-point?!' Hisha wanted to scream at them but was distracted by the sound coming from his system.
Ding!
[Celestials]
Hisha stares wide-eyed at the screen, not being able to hide his surprise. He knew Celestials existed somewhere in the sky or something, and deep down inside him, he never expected to find anything regarding them affecting him so personally aside from being favored by them.
[The system results in displays one particular result:
- Celestial - They are supreme immortal beings that are considered godlike and reside in the heavenly gates. They do not interfere with certain occurrences that could be detrimental to the balance of the world, but they readily listen to the wishes and prayers of those they deem worthy]
'This doesn't look like they don't interfere with me! They already did that in the past and had made the original host act irrationally, but now this?' Hisha thought angrily while glaring daggers at the screen.
"Lord Hisha?" Rin asks cautiously after noticing his sudden change in mood.
Shaking his head slightly, Hisha replies coldly, "I have nothing else to ask right now. Just carry on like you never saw me here or better still, go back to where you come from."
Karin smirks playfully, "you can't get rid of us easily..."
Her words caused Hisha to growl lowly under his breath. 'Now that's a two-faced statement right there.'
Karin then turns towards Rin asking, "should we tell him about the situation?"
"Excuse me? Tell me what?" Hisha questions sharply.
Both ladies exchange glances again before turning their heads away from each other.
"The moment you summoned us into existence, we will be your eyes and ears within this realm and yours until such time when you decide otherwise," Rin explains quietly.
"What do you mean, mine?" Hisha demands an answer.
His voice echoes loudly across the room making both women flinch nervously.
Rin raises her hands enthusiastically, "it means I can seek out information that relates to your immediate choices in your world and you get that knowledge almost instantly when needed."
Hisha stumbles back in shock upon hearing these words. His mind races trying to process whether this would benefit him or hinder him more than help him if he gets a clash in his choices.
It all started to make sense as to why her clothing was of his modern world and past life. She must have used his memories to materialize based on his modern preferences which meant she might know who he really is; someone important to himself and others around him.
He turns to Karin and could easily decipher what realm she came from judging by the clothes worn by hers too. It wasn't hard since most people in Kurg wore similar attire regardless of location.
However, unlike Rin, he couldn't see any hint of familiarity in her appearance despite knowing full well that they were related somehow. This only served to confuse him even further because both ladies looked alike.
Karin leans on one of the shelves, her large bust swaying seductively beneath her thin dress robe. Her long hair flows freely behind her shoulders giving her a very sensual appeal. The sight alone makes Hisha stiffen unconsciously.
As much as he wants to deny it, his body reacts to the presence of an attractive lady without fail every single time. Even though he tries to resist it, his hormones always win over logic leaving him feeling helpless whenever confronted with beautiful females.
'Except that temptress!' He quickly straightens his thoughts and exhales to calm himself with that.
"Lord Hisha, do you know what we are?" Karin asks softly.
'It's the very thing I need to know." Hisha shakes his head slowly, unable to comprehend everything going through his mind.
"We are called Celeste, also known as Celestial maids…" She begins, pauses, and stares at him, needing him to sink in the new information.
Hisha furrows his brow wondering just exactly what kind of race they were talking about. A part of him felt relieved for having found some answers yet another question arose in its place–why didn't HTC ever mention them?
Ding!
[Memory recovery - 25%]
'Woah!' Hisha exclaims as he watches his environment spin and dims out slowly from the corner of his eyes.
A sudden flood of new information had him drop to his knees gasping desperately. Memories of his previous lives began flooding his brain causing him to shake uncontrollably. All sorts of things happened during those times including the previous host searching for the Celeste as his alternative chance at finding Dalsa. However, none of them seemed to match up perfectly enough to explain how the current events unfolded. There was no way anyone could remember all that stuff unless they lived multiple lifetimes, the very life the previous host chose to give up.
After several minutes spent recovering part of the lost data of the previous host, Hisha finally regained control of his senses once more.
"So...what does this mean?" Hisha asked weakly, looking between the two girls standing beside him.
They exchanged looks briefly before nodding simultaneously.
"It means you own us completely; body and soul. You control every aspect of our lives including who knows of our presence. You need our assistance if you want to survive this ordeal Lord Hisha," Rin explained gently.
"What ordeal am I facing?" Hisha questioned warily.
