Chapter 415 - Entering the Soul Space (1/2)
After eating their lunch, Riveria was able to get a hold of herself and thought, 'Whenever they are involved, I always lose my nerves... And it feels like it's happened more than in my whole life as an Adventurer.'
Kisuke then invited Riveria and Ais to a private room to talk about what he found out about Ais's condition.
After serving them tea, Kisuke began. ”Now then. Where shall I start?” Kisuke stayed silent for a moment and looked towards Ais before continuing, ”First of all, here's what I found out. You're not exactly a Human but a High Spirit with flesh and blood.”
Kisuke's first revelation put both Ais and Riveria instantly on the edge. They thought that her diagnosis will only involve Ais's general health and Kisuke will only look for anything wrong in her body. They didn't expect that Kisuke could instantly dig one of Ais's deepest secrets.
”How did you...” Ais muttered.
”Judging from your reactions, you already knew about this. Well, that isn't surprising. However, don't ask me how I knew of this. You asked me to do a full check up on you and I don't want to reveal my methods. You should have expected this in the first place.”
However, the two of them couldn't just easily accept that. When Ais was still small, Loki and Riveria also brought her to Altena's most famous and top doctor to check her state. But all the said doctor found out that there's something wrong with her but couldn't find out what it was. Hence, when the mysterious man from the deeper part of the Dungeon said that Kisuke could help, they accepted it, wanting to solve this hidden issue.
Who would have thought that a low leveled man who came to Orario out of nowhere could easily see through not just Ais's hidden issue but her true identity?
Not minding what's on their mind, Kisuke continued, ”With that in mind, I adjusted her overall physique based on the data that I gathered. It's not just the stasis that did some minor damage to her body, but also the imbalance of her existence being between a Human and a Spirit. After all, you're an unnatural existence.”
Kisuke's last words made Ais incredibly nervous, ”U-unnatural existence?”
Kisuke instantly figured out what she's worried about and reassured her, ”You don't have to worry. You might be an unnatural existence, but you're not an artificial one. You're definitely a child between a Human and a High Spirit.”
Ais let out a huge sigh of relief after hearing him but also tremendously mystified, including Riveria, on how he knew all of this.
Kisuke then smiled and asked Ais, ”So? How do you feel?”
Ais first looked down on her fist and clenched it, ”...I feel light. It's like a burden that I never knew disappeared.”
”That's great~. By the way, I heard that you defeated the Monster Rex Level 6 Udaeus, but it seems that you haven't leveled up.”
Ais nodded, ”I want to try harder.” She said while thinking about Aika's words yesterday.
”Is that so. Then we're done here. Go home and adjust yourself. Don't mindlessly enter the Dungeon and ask someone of the same level to have a spar with you. Instead of overall strength, it should be your control that should improve.”
Ais nodded and accepted his instructions. Since Aika's words which she took to the heart apparently came from him, she felt at ease listening to him.
”Ais, wait for me outside. I have a few things to talk about in private.” Riveria said after seeing that they're finally done.
Ais nodded again and stood up. However, just as she was about to exit through the door, Kisuke called out to her, ”Please wait.”
Ais looked back at him with confusion and also a bit of nervousness due to not knowing what else this man would say, ”...Yes?”
