503 Four years later... (1/2)
”What are you blabbering? Isn't that's why I was sent to be a damn dumpling because they finally lived at the same time to fulfill Father's will?” Letting out an exhale, Churu said in a matter-of-fact tone.
Indeed, Tora's soul had been wandering and she would reside on dead babies inside a woman's womb and grow as that person, then repeat after dying on its host. If Tora was just a lost spirit, she would have turned into an evil creature. But since it was Churu who made her fly, wandering to find its new host, Tora's soul persevered and live into different bodies — different ethnicity, country, and gender.
The only catch was that there's only a span of a period that Tora's soul could wander. After all, Churu's life energy that she passed on to protect it had been weakening after time. Hence, Tora's soul that was inside Lexi was only a small fragment left.
”Do you think I have forgiven you for making me look like a dumpling? Didn't I tell you I want to look like a popstar — a cute idol, not a damn food!” Now that Churu was reminded of what form she looked like back on earth, she fumed as she jolted from her lying position and glared daggers at Yael.
”Mistake often happens.” Yale just shrugged her shoulders as she nonchalantly flipped her hair to the side. ”Also, although your look was quite peculiar, it's safe to say that you've successfully become an idol.” Opening her palm, Yael showed Churu's banner, posters, and even videos of fans fighting their way to buy Churu's merchandise — angel, demon, and all creatures in the heavenly realm and places that reached their jurisdiction.
”Wow,” Seeing that she was like a real-life idol, Churu's eyes sparkled. There were photos of her in a different dress that Lexi personally made. It was more or less how Elliot Gong or Rika Song were being treated in the human world.
”I really think I should send my resignation to Lucy and start my own agency.” Nodding her head in acknowledgment, Churu pondered hard enough to start a new career. After all, they promised her that she'd die after completing the task or have a new career since the heavenly realm took a huge turn and copied the human's lifestyle — just for the lulz.
”I'm afraid you can't do that.”
”Huh?” Immediately, Churu raised her investigative eyes up to Yael's front. Did they go back on their words? That's impossible, as Churu was well-aware of the heaven's rules and even Hell's.
”Apparently, your work on earth is not done yet.” Yael once again shrugged her shoulders as she informed her of the situation. ”Why did you think you returned to this sacred place instead of waking up next to Lucifer? Because I can't go there. And why would I need to welcome your return, anyway?”
”Well, the thing was, while I am trying to fix a bug in the system, I accidentally…” Yael scratched her nape as she paused and gulped. ”... I pressed the wrong button.”
”What did you just… you pressed a wrong button?” Knitting her brows in disbelief, Churu blinked her eyes numerous times as she processed Yael's words. ”You mean…”
”Mistakes happen all the time, right?” Yael awkwardly smiled. ”That's why I am here to inform yo—”
