The Extra's Indifference

Me and Aria were walking leisurely in the slums.

I didn't cast my usual illusion magic and wore white casual and slightly girly clothes for extra attention.

Aria wore casual clothes too and she was getting some attention, though not as much as me.

Aria is considered beauty in this world according to my investigation. I inspected too many people with status lenses and according to my data average charm is [E+] rank.

[E+] rank charm is considered normal, below [E+] are below average to ugly while the [E+] above is considered above average and many other beauty terms and lastly divine beauty.

'I am not a narcissistic person but i think i am divine beauty. I don't know my charm rank because artifact can't determine ranks that above [S+] and i couldn't find a method to determine the charm without artifact. I don't think that charm stat just the beauty of a person, it must have some sort of force that i couldn't find.' these were my thoughts about charm.

Anyway, we were walking around to bait some thugs. I would come by myself but Aria knows slums better than me, so when i asked 'where can i find low rank thugs' she led me here.

After a while, some thugs came in front of us and spoke like 3rd rate novel thugs and licked his lips.

I shouted at the thugs:

"I am male."

They were shocked because of the fact that i was male. Well i am androgynous beauty but i am a child too, so they assumed me a girl.

Anyway, while they were shocked i attacked and knocked them out. They were 1st and 2nd crystal thugs, so it was quite easy.

After that, i chained them with ice chains and dragged them while walking.

I turned toward Aria and said:

"Do you know someone good and 3rd crystal"

"I don't understand master?"

"I need someone morally good and that someone has to be 3rd crystal fighter but now known one and preferably female. Do you know someone?" i asked.

Aria closed her eyes and stayed, after a while, she opened her eyes.

"There is someone master. She is 33 years old, 3rd crystal fighter. She takes care of the slum children." said Aria.

"That is good let's go there. But i have to leave this baggage in my basement."

******

I tied the thugs to the wall of my basement with ice chains and added more mana to make the ice chain semi-permanent, with this ice chain would last about some hours.

Afterwards, we went home to this caretaker of slum children.

After arriving at the woman's home, i released a tiny bit of my aura and sent into the house.

I searched the woman's home to make sure that there was no one besides the woman.

There was no one else but 1 person. I inspected their aura and found the target, the woman's aura was warm, motherly and loving.

I slowly stepped inside from the window and made my way to the woman's room.

I entered the room and found the sleeping woman. She was above the average woman with brown hair and was 173cm tall.

I got closer to her and slowly and quietly cast ice chains around her ankles, wrists and her neck.

I pulled the ice chain to my foot, which awoken the woman. The woman was startled and tried to scream but i was faster. I activated the Silent Scream's Silence enchantment and pricked her.

She shouted for a few second but stopped screaming because she didn't hear her screams.

I pulled the chain that was tied around her neck to turn her face to mine. Her eyes widened for a moment but returned to normal quickly.

'That's good, she can control herself pretty well.'

"Did you calm down?" i said with a completely neutral tone.

She nodded her head.

I deactivated the Silence and said:

"You have two choices right now. The first is to sign a contract with me.

Don't worry i won't do anything bad. You just have to become my sister's maid for 5 years and protect her, easy right?

Afterwards, you will get a good amount of gold that will completely belong to you. You can live a luxurious life, you can take care of the slum children with good food and shelter or you can do both of them. The choice is yours."

"Umm what is the second choice?" said the woman.

'Well, i thought this woman was a smart one. It seems that i was mistaken, this woman was a naive one. She must have thought that i was a child that playing a prank or something like that.'

"Second choice is a disgusting one that you wouldn't probably like, so prepare yourself.

I will drag you with my chains and throw you to some thug base so that they can use you. After a few hours later i will pick you up and we will go to the slum children's shelter. I will slowly kill them while you will only watch this show. After i am done with the children, i will torture you until you break and we will sign a slave contract.

Well, do you like it?" i said innocently and smiled.

"Demon! You must be a demon disguised as a child." the woman shouted.

"Shut up woman, i don't care about your idiotic thoughts. Will you sign a contract or will we do the second choice?"

The woman shivered and nodded quickly.

"Tell me your name woman?"

"Katie"

I wrote the contract's conditions.

Katie won't commit suicide, Katie won't betray, Katie will obey Kayle's orders, Katie will listen to Lucy's orders, Katie will protect Lucy, Katie won't speak only write for communication, Katie won't show any affection towards Lucy, Katie won't mention of this meeting, Katie won't tell anyone to this contract's existence and Katie won't try to separate Lucy from Kayle.

In return Kayle will give quite a bit amount of gold, Kayle won't kill Katie and this contract will go void after 4 years.

We signed the contract and i released Katie.

"Katie come to my house this afternoon but before that read some how to be maid books."

I said to Katie and threw a map.

"Big sister let's go, we don't want to wait our materials too much right?" i turned to Aria and held her hand.

We went back to the basement of the house.

"Aria i will begin my experiment, while experimenting note down what i said."

I said to Aria and she answered 'yes master'.

Afterwards, i dragged one of the thugs to the operation table.

This night i will try to infuse my aura into thug's aura core. I don't know what would happen, thus i will only use a little bit of my aura.

Like last time i searched the thug's body with my aura and found her aura core. After that, i manipulated a tiny bit of my aura and poked his aura core. Aura core was the same, nothing happened to it. But the thug started to scream in fear and a little bit later in agony, so i activated Silence and waited for him to shut up.

After a minute or so thug got silent and i deactivated the Silence and spoke.

"Why were you screaming and did you feel something strange before screaming?"

Thug spouted harsh words to me, but when i threatened him with the same pain he quickly told me what i asked.

He was screaming because of a foreign sensation all over his body and this sensation brought him a great amount of pain.

Well, he screamed first because of my creepy aura but after a while, my aura started to hurt him for a reason that i don't know.

Anyway i manipulated my aura again and tried to slip my little bit of aura into thug's aura core. It didn't work and the thug started to scream again, so i Silenced him.

'If a little amount didn't work, i will just use a huge amount.'

I forced my aura to thug's aura core. My aura entered thug's aura core and i started to inspect every corner of the aura core.

Well thug died with blood poured from every hole of his face and because of that, i couldn't inspect his aura core fully because when he died, his aura core shattered and shattered pieces dissappeared.

"Forcing aura core has deadly consequences but i learned that aura core is a person's life record or something like that. Though not fully but you can understand their life if you decipher them."

"Aria can you dispose of this corpse? Throw somewhere in the slum."i asked Aria. Well, it wasn't a request though, i was just being polite.

I dragged thugs in turns and tried things on their aura core.

I forced my aura and aura core shattered.

I pressured aura core with my aura. It cracked and i stopped but the thug died and the aura core disappeared.

I injected my aura a little bit with a longer time and waited for a while and i injected my aura again. My aura connected to the thug's aura core without breaking, it worked. The subject didn't die, just screamed in agony.

With my aura connected to thug's aura core, i could easily see its inside.

Aura core's inside was strangely beautiful. But i couldn't understand what is beautiful, i tried to understand even a little bit of it but i couldn't. As if it was impossible to comprehend it for my mortal eyes.

I thought about what to do for a while and my powerful Intuition come to my help. It started to hint at me that i should inject the Revelation element into my eyes.

I did understand the idea but i didn't understand how would work this easily, but i did it anyway. I converted my mana to the revelation element with thought because i didn't have any chants of this particular element. I was about to exhaust my mana reserves, revelation magic was too much expensive even if it was for chantless magic.

After converting, i injected the revelation element into my eyes. For a moment my dormant [Revelation Eyes] activated and my eyes started to cry blood, but i didn't care because i saw what i wanted.

I couldn't understand everything but what i understand is aura core is the connection between soul body and physical body. When i shattered their aura core, in other words their connection. Their soul was freed from their physical body, in short, their body died and in most cases, souls too can't exist without a physical body.

'I don't know what happens to the soul without a body. Would they go to heaven or hell, is even heaven or hell really exist? Is there some sort of fantasy thing reincarnation cycle or something like that? Or would their souls too die with their body and convert to mana or some sort of energy?'

i had so many questions and theories that i want to think more about them, but i couldn't hold back the aftereffects anymore. It seems momentarily activating dormant power was a huge burden to my body.

My body was paralyzed and because of the paralysing, my body released itself. I was going to fall to the floor backwards. Well, i didn't care, so i waited for my fall. Because of my transformed brain, my fall felt longer to me but in the end, i fell.

I waited for a while for to paralyze effect to wear off, but it seemed that it will last long. I didn't have anything to do, so i waited.

After About 30 minutes or so, the door of the basement opened and Aria entered inside.

She was blank as ever but i saw her eyes shake for a moment when she saw me.

She ran to my side and inspected my body for injuries. She didn't find any injuries and sighed with a blank face.

'It is hard to guess her emotions. Was that sigh of relief or something different.' Well, i didn't care about it though. I was just thinking of random things to avert my boredom.

Aria took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the blood from my face.

Afterwards, she picked up me in the princess carry position and walked towards to exit but her eyes caught the remaining thugs and after pondering for a moment, she killed them with throwing knives.

'it's good that Aria killed them, i didn't know how long exactly these chains could hold them.'

Aria carried me to her room and removed my bloody clothes, which made me naked above the waist.

After removing my bloody clothes, she put me on her bed and changed her clothes to a nightgown.

'Is she trying to seduce me?' i thought but quickly shook my head internally.

After changing into a nightgown Aria got into bed, hugged my waist tightly and purred. After a while, i heard her soft breathing sounds.

'She just slept like this. My maid is a truly rare specimen. I didn't think that i would be Aria's hug pillow. Well, it's not uncomfortable, so it's okay i think.'

After some thought, i slept too.
