57 A Novice Prodigy? (2/2)
”Okay Shiro, could you click the first question marks?”
”Okay, oni-chama.”
As she clicked it, there appeared another platform layer which says:
Choose the Paradigm Type:
(Must be limited to one element)
(Input through imagination)
(Change is unapplicable)
Ok then, how would I explain this to a kid...
”Shiro, it says wha-...” While I was just about to say a few words that I think would explain this more apparently down to a kid's level, she showed me the otherwise... Now, I know, it's wrong to underestimate, even to a kid.
Shiro, as though knowing and understanding what she just saw began to scroll down the choices and started to bombard the platform with keypresses in rhythm, one layer after the other that I could barely keep up. It seems she already has an idea in mind, an idea that I am sure that I can't object to. Well, she is a kid... No, to what I just said earlier, it's wrong to underestimate.
And then, as she finished, a loading screen popped up...

Eh? Is Shiro perhaps a prodigy? I wanted to learn how that process goes, and here I am, beaten up by a kid., who almost looked like she knew everything...

Shiro, happy with the shown outcome, no matter how little her perception of what the process is for, smiles in satisfaction. Well, having a hibernation for a consequence is not that bad right.? I guess it's fine. No, it is by far convenient. Maybe this Ethereal Paradigm is a bit forgiving to the little ones.
”Gather round now. Your 'Persona Interface (PI) is always updated. Announcements would be given by Athena through here without undue delays and also, please do expect that the shown 'Sentient Conteder Count (SCC)' will always be in constant change as the warfare proceeds. All that you have to do now is have a weapon, and you'll find yourselves on the pangs of both peril and joy. Make sure that it fits your physique.” Amadea continued in her task.
”Not too distant from here is a NÆthervalian Kingdom. I recommend, you can start from there, or you also might want to go forth a more unorthodox way, then you could do as you please. It all lies in your hands. Moreover, I could say that the Kingdom is more preferable.”, so said the goddess, but I think not that many would want to choose the 'unorthodox way'. For now, they're likely to go in flocks and in the most conventional there is, except for those confident others that left a while ago.
As everyone finished their own Re: Characterization, Amadea Mozart, as her elegant arch-bent piano began playing tunes of hope and new vigors, she left us with as little as ”Good luck... Let's meet again somewhere”, disappearing suddenly without a trace. They really have the hobby of presence concealment which sometimes is a little macabre.
'Requiem Aranea'...'Soul Replication'.Now, to what extent can we utilize you both? Shall we test that? In moderation of course... I would not dare lose a year in my lifespan for something trivial. Although I don't know for myself if I'll be able to enjoy that if I do manage to preserve the span. If I die, the conservation efforts would be all for naught.
Oh right. I have to meetLacrimosa first... Then, I have to guess, that from that point onwards, we're on our own.
