Chapter 50 - Entering The Room Of Spirit And Time, Another Origin Ki Encounter!? (II) (1/2)
However at this time, as Korin continued to be confused as to what he thought he saw just moments ago, Miya and Nao suddenly halted their free fall descent, only to swerve underneath the tower and appeared on the west side of the tower. They rose high enough to where they could be seen through the main deck, and waited for Korin to recover from his current stupor.
Upon having a closer look at Korin, his stature was small compared to most humans, only standing about two and a half feet tall, but that was because Korin himself was part of the immortal cat species, and as far as deities go, they were quite rare in the Realm of the Gods. Coupled with his white fur, three whiskers could be seen protruding out on each side of his face, and six more on top of his head. He let his white cat tail sway freely behind him, and after he regained from his stupor, he spread out his Ki sense.
Almost immediately, he felt an immense pressure behind him. This caught him off guard once more, and he almost stumbled onto the ground, but thankfully the wooden cane he was holding onto caught his fall. This was the result of Miya releasing her Ki again prior to her controlling it back into her body back at The Lookout. Nao still kept his Ki within his body and he could only sigh, but the plan Miya told him appeared to be rather effective. Korin soon regained his footing, and turned around, only see two children slightly taller than him, hovering in the air outside the deck. He then rubbed his fur beneath his neck, as if he were rubbing a beard.
”Meow...so my eyes weren't playing tricks on me. Who the heck are you two? This is my house, you two clearly don't belong here.”
After hearing Korin's question, Nao decided to head into the observation deck with Miya following suit and they then landed on the ground. Nao could see the observation deck was quite bare, but there were various amounts of ancient jars scattered around sealed with wooden lids. Korin had a good look at the two and he could clearly tell that the two figures in front of him weren't native species to Earth. Nao was the first one to speak out to Korin, as Miya stayed silent.
”Greetings, Korin, it's a pleasure to meet you. You can call me Nao, and this one right here is my little sister, Miya. You see, we just arrived on Earth a couple hours ago, and Kami already received us at The Lookout.”
”So you're guests of Kami, eh? How is that old fart doing lately? It's been a few decades the last time we met. It's been rather quiet here as of late. You two don't appear to be challengers either. Only one guy had climbed this tower within the last 280 years, and my god he was quite a pervert.”
”That's right, Korin. Kami gave us permission to come down here to retrieve some senzu beans. Would you happen to have any in stock?”
”I sure do. The two of you have been approved by Kami, so there is no need for you to go through my challenge. Let me go fetch some.”
With his wooden cane in his right hand, Nao saw Korin dismiss himself as he walked toward the staircase leading to floor beneath the observation deck and soon vanished from sight. Once the two longer saw him, Miya retreated the Ki she was currently releasing back into her body, and the surrounding atmosphere no longer felt any hidden pressure. She then turned to look at Nao.
”So what do you think of Korin, brother? It defintely is a first seeing a talking cat move around like that, but you just got straight to the point and he complied just like that. I can tell he's more sociable than that Kami too, hehe.”
”He defintely has more of a welcoming feeling than what Kami has, for sure. Perhaps it's because he has been in contact with the earthlings below, even if it was just one. I wonder how high of a position Korin is among the deities in this universe, it probably isn't high considering he is in this backwater planet.”
”I'm not sure either, the details of the original story were quite vague in regards to Korin's background according to your memories. Brother, you weren't born with an eidetic memory like I was. Brother should really consider in purchasing one from Rebirth, I don't think it's too expensive either. I just did a quick look, and it's actually available for 30K RP. After the 10% discount, brother barely has enough points to purchase it.”
”Sigh...having my memories fade away does seem to be a bit of a pain in the ass. I also don't want to constantly rely on you either. Purchasing an eidetic memory will defintely solve that but, we should wait until we enter The Spirit of Room and Time. I have no idea what would happen once I purchase it. If all of my missing memories coming rushing out at once, my brain may overload.”
