After that, We went flying back to the mansion. Lord Vejetar did not say a thing after that until we arrived. We landed down in the garden and made our way inside to the dining room where we had left everyone.

Just as we opened the door to the dining room, we come face to face with great Velkra.

"Come on! Where were you guys? I thought you were in trouble or something...!" she says.

Her expression looks quite worried indeed. We said that we would be back in several minutes but it ended up taking much longer than expected. It is our mistake but I cannot actually say that to Lord Vejetar.

"Great Velkra..." I try to speak but I'm interrupted by Lord Vejetar immediately.

"Sorry for making you worry, Velkra. I just wanted some fine fish for you to eat. Look, I got you something fancy." He said as he took the Black Storage Box from my hands.

He places the box in his hands and then opens it,

"Here, I was looking for this. I have actually eaten it before and it's quite delicious if I should say." He says.

Indeed. This fish is quite rare and its taste lives up to its name. I've heard how savory and rich its fat is. Some people may like to eat fish fat as well but fillet is what I've heard about.

But... Great Velkra seems displeased somehow.

[Perspective change: Velkra.]

It's been more than half an hour now and they haven't come back yet. What happened? Were they attacked on the way? I can't help but be worried. I feel some sort of unrest from Willis' connection with me.

Come to think of it. Ever since I came to this world, I haven't had even one chance to sit back and take a breather in peace. Will my life always be like this?

If this is how it's gonna be then I can't help but be a bit mentally exhausted but having this much in my life comes with its perks too.

Previously, I didn't have a life that I could be proud of. I mean I did enjoy t but I wouldn't say that I accomplished anything in that life.

I just moved out of my relative's house and went on to work, got my first pay, and died just after that. I was just starting to get on my feet but that ended pretty badly.

Here... I can say that I am playing a somewhat prominent role. At least, in other people's lives. Everyone here is being affected by my existence. The Weskin Family, Their Servants, Their Guards, The Demons.... Anikia, Lucy... Carmine, Felia... Even Zanim... Everyone. They are all together because of me. I'm not saying that they couldn't have known each other if I wasn't here but the one who actually brought them in a sense is me.

Their lives have changed drastically and it will keep changing, I'm sure of it. When I take the decision that I have thought of...

First, I gotta bring those blockheads back. I don't know what happened to them, at least they could have sent me a signal or something. Communication is a pretty big problem here, isn't it?

[They're fine...]

How do you know, Girl?

[Wah... you don't understand do you, Master?]

What? Is there something I don't know?

[If something would have been wrong, I would have already told you. Last time I contacted them through your connection with them. I'm sure it was called like... [Soul Bridge]? Yeah, that. That's how I know.]

Why can't I sense that information then?

[Because I'm the one processing it and relaying it to you. You just need to ask me. I can let the information flow through you if you want...]
