Chapter 311: Unexpected Situation (2/2)

Wait for him, huh? Is he consulting someone else?

If it's true that this World's Will is someone from my previous life and me being called as his Master… Why are they attacking the Mortal Worlds with the intention of encroaching upon Earth?

The Great Ones, the Dark Cult and all other things considered, the possibility of them just acting it out to train us is low.

If I'm someone important for this World then its denizens would have recognized me, but other than that World's Will, there's no indication of others knowing me from my previous life.

He ordered Remilia to catch me and that girl just followed his order and brought me to prison. From her parting words, it appears that she had no idea about theWorld's Will's objective.

Without being able to go back into my body and getting stuck in this space. I was left with no choice but to theorize and that naturally led me to keep overthinking things.

Time continued to pass and after a few hours in isolation, the glittering night sky once again appeared and the boy which is the World's Will rematerialized in front of me.

However, this time, he's not alone.

Behind him, a woman whose face was covered in a red veil appeared. She's wearing a ruby-red dress which emphasized her lithe and alluring figure. But that's not the most remarkable feature of her. It's the boundless presence she unconsciously exuded upon seeing me.

”It's really you… Daisuke.”

A sweet-resounding voice came out of her. Although most say that voice can be deceiving, the way she uttered my name carried a hint of warmth.

Who is this woman? Did he leave this space to get her? Or did he go to consult her and unconvinced at what he's saying, she decided to come and see me as well? She's not another World's Will, is she?

After a while, the woman gently shook her head. As the veil covering her face swayed, I got a glimpse of a small part of her face. The cheek which I managed to see has some sort of a mark. Whether that's artificial or not, I don't know. But upon seeing it, I felt a sense of familiarity.

Of course… Just by the way she called my name, she's also someone who knows me or the previous me. Is she also like Sofiel? A Companion from my previous life?

What is this development, really? I poorly decided to jump into the Portal and arrived in this world. Then I got captured. Thinking I'm now at the mercy of the enemies, I am trying to bide my time and escape when an opportunity presents itself as long as they don't kill me. But now, I am presented with this situation.

”Master's memory is still incomplete. His appearance here is way ahead of what is planned.”

The boy said. His voice sounded childish but his tone sounded serious.

They're all being vague here. However, since I don't know what to make of this situation, I can only listen to their conversation.

”It is truly way ahead. We can't expose him to more information before he gets his memories back.”

The red-veiled woman replied.

These two… You've already exposed me to crucial information such as this. Why not go all the way and tell me everything about this? Who are you two and what are you to me? Stop being vague, for once, will you?

”I'm sorry Master. But that's not possible. We can't tell you anything before the appointed time.”

The boy, reading my mind once more, shook his head and the red-veiled woman continued.

”We have to send him back before someone notices his presence here. This is your fault Worldy, you shouldn't have summoned him and let him go back to the world he came from.”

”I got too excited when I noticed Master's arrival. I thought…”

”Grow up, will you? Now, we cannot slip him out. They're monitoring all our moves. Your coming to me was surely noticed by them.”

After saying that, the woman turned to me once more and the reprimanding tone she had towards the boy changed back to the same warmth when she called my name.

”Daisuke, we cannot answer your questions for now. But I will tell you. We are on your side. Worldy will send your consciousness back to your body, we'll think of a way to send you back to that world without you being noticed. Can you trust me?”

”It's not about trust, really. I have no idea what's happening here but from your conversation, there's a large secret behind all of this. If you're really an enemy, you can easily kill me. Now, if you're purposely doing this to use me, I don't really see the point. I guess I can put a little trust in your word for now. I'll hold you both to an account that when the time comes, you have to tell me everything.”

From their conversation, I got the gist of what's happening here but without the means to confirm everything, I can only follow them, for now.
