Ban Yei (Samurai) POV:

"Finally, here."

I landed not far away from the city, afraid to alert the guards keeping up watch.

As I remembered, the city was surrounded by tall walls and a barrier that was invisible to the naked eyes.

"I still don't understand how Dealmaker managed to enter this place the first time. Is there a hole in the barrier, from where he entered?"

I slowly walked towards the city; my sword put on my waist.

Even though I didn't want to admit it, I grew attached to it in the short while I had it. It was different from the weapons I had till now, it felt... alive. As if it was growing stronger alongside me.

It was probably my imagination since I couldn't feel anything from it.

"I shouldn't think about it now. If it turns out to be cursed, I will deal with it."

I went to the edge of the wall, feeling the energy of the barrier going through me.

"If I remember correctly, right now Dealmaker is an adventurer. I need to hurry; I can't even imagine what he's doing."

*****

Slowly, I poured out of the mouth of my past self and reformed a few steps away from him.

"You two are here?"

'Yes.'

'Here and ready!"

Inside my head, I could hear the voices of the two girls, vibrating in my not existing skull.

'Hey? Who are you two?'

'Hmmm? Curious. You are him, yet you aren't. A separate personality?'

'He looks like a duck! So funny! Let's eat him!'

'Quack! Leave me alone, beast woman!'

'Sister! Spit that out this instant!'

"Shut up! All of you! You're giving me a migraine!"

I looked down at my unconscious body and suddenly had an idea.

Slowly, I lifted my index and dropped some of my black liquid into the mouth of my young self.

'What are you doing?'

"An assurance. In case you want to fuck me over."

'Hehehe, someone has trust issues!'

"You know my story. You know why."

'You are paranoid.'

"Call it what you want. It may be the thing that kept me alive for so long."

I walked up the stairs and left the house, not letting the occupants.

"So where should I start?"

'There is a person who possesses a unique power who you missed the last time you came here. He should know where you need to look.'

"Then guide me."

Before me, a red hologram appeared, shaped like an arrow.

Not wanting to draw attention to myself, I liquefied myself and looked for a body to inhabit.
