Chapter 859: Meeting the Six Kings Executives - Ten Demons Arc ⑨ (1/2)

After a brief self-introduction, I also handed her a gift of sweets to thank her for that incident in the God Realm. Astaroth-san felt apologetic to receive the gift, but in the end, she accepted and I was able to accomplish my goal for my visit.

Afterwards, I was chatting lightly with Astaroth-san, when I suddenly remembered something that I had been curious about, so I decided to ask her.

[Astaroth-san, can I ask you a question?]

[Hahh. Please feel free to ask.]

……Unnn, I really could feel that her loyalty seems to be very high.

[Earlier, you said that Astaroth-san's species, Gemini, are said to have ”two consciousnesses within one body, right?]

[Yes, our species was known as such in the Demon Realm.]

[Errr, does that mean…… you have ”four personalities” all together?]

The way they described Astaroth-san is basically like she's a set of two consciousnesses. If compared to a bird, it's like having one wing on each side. In other words, being called having two consciousnesses means that there are four personalities within one Astaroth-san.

However, since the only two personalities I had been introduced to so far were the right Astaroth-san and the left Astaroth-san, I wondered if there were also other personalities.

When Astaroth-san heard my words, she nodded her head in understanding, before slightly smiling.

[No, I only have two personalities. Being called having two consciousnesses within one body was actually from a misunderstanding.]

[A misunderstanding?]

[Yes, I think it would be faster to show it to you though. Please wait a moment……]

Saying those words, Astaroth-san took off her mask and lightly covered her eyes with her hands. In the next moment, I felt as if Astaroth-san's magic power had changed.

Thereupon, when Astaroth-san lowered the hand that was covering her eyes…… To my surprise, the color of her left and right eyes were switched.

The right one was golden and the left one was black earlier, but now, the right one is black and the left one is golden.

[ [ I call this my Inverse Form, and its effect…… is just swapping the abilities of the left and right me. It isn't a difficult technique, and any Gemini can do it. All it does was just swapping abilities though…… ] ]

[Ahh, I see…… The combination of the eyes and hair changes, so people misunderstand that you have a different consciousness within you.]

In other words, Astaroth-san only has two personalities, but along with this Inverse Form…… This is why the public misinterprets her having two consciousnesses, since four combinations were possible: black-hair and golden-eyed Astaroth-san, blonde-hair and black-colored-eyed Astaroth-san, black-hair and black-colored-eyed Astaroth-san, and a blonde-hair and golden-eyed Astaroth-san.

[ [ The Geminis themselves are rare and few in number, so they have been misunderstood and this rumor began to spread. T- T- This could be misinterpreted by enemies though s- s- so I didn't bother c- correcting it.]

[I understand now. Thank you very much.]

[ [ No, I'm happy if I was able to solver Miyama-sama's questions. ] ]

Hmmm, it was a bit unusual of a trait, and she has a slightly heavy loyalty…… but she isn't that weird of a person, and may be someone easy to talk to.

After chatting with her for a while, she seems to have a rather normal sensibilities, and I think that she's much better than Pandora-san when that serious mode of hers collapses.

As I was thinking about this, Astaroth-san, who had put her mask back on, turned to Pandora-san and spoke.
