Lumi POV

It was pouring down hard now yet I no longer see the hound. Kaguya seems to be tired too from all that running. I'm guessing that dullahan can't go to far from where he died. Though not at all like the one when the knights camped. Rather I didn't know when but Rain reappeared she seemed very unhappy now.

"I have a message for you." (Rain)

Why does her tone sound so strained now when she says those words.

"It's from your childhood friend. She gave you three choices: 1. Travel with Kaguya to look for clues, 2. Unleash the person inside Gluttony which might lead to almost the extinction of the humans, or 3. Find your long lost sibling from your last life, this will restore all your missing and altered memories." (Rain)

Wait why does all her words and tone sound so solemn and why is Kaguya glaring so hard at me. Oh wait she loves humans, so if I choose that I'm screwed over by this. No, sheesh this is a hard choice.... option 1 sounds nice and comfortable but now the 3rd choice got me curious. Damn so hard to choose. But I didn't understand but my own mouth already said my choice.

"I choose option, 3. I maybe the future demon lord but I won't cause humans to die off so fast especially indirectly. It will just leave a bad taste in my mouth." (Lumi)

"I see the choice that the Valkyrie asked her to do. Then my hint will be obvious search for the huntress goddess and her huntress they will led you to her. But be warned what you find is much more than meets the eye. And be wary of the one you could call sister. She is not always as she seems." (Rain)

Wait why'd you go all riddle like there. But something in my head clicked together as if I understood what she meant.

"You mean to say another soul exists within her don't you."

"This, I don't know but the holy maiden only asked me to warn you beforehand. I guess she knew from your rash personality you'd choose the harshest route yet. Good luck." (Rain)

She disappeared again but it looked like a side step arte. Arts are categorized as: artes, earth artes (human or mortal artes), yellow sky artes (created by elves and dwarves but useable for people to use, it counts as inheritance of the old to new gen), gold artes (divine arts created by the celestials for humans to protect themselves), ruby artes (god based artes that looks like techniques but are more powerful), forbidden artes (they're artes created but used at a cost, powerful but annoying side effects.) But from the looks of what she used it was a gold wind arte. Not that I'll ask how she got that.

"What does she mean by that. That the other person knew you'd choose the hardest route. Who is planning and plotting against you." (Kaguya)

"If you're trying to say she's going against me. Though you think so I know that she wouldn't do something so insane. That's all I remember about her personality. But these choices she gave doesn't feel like her. It feels more forced than anything if I must say."

"How do you even know if it's the person you know from what Rain says." (Kaguya)

"Uh...... instinct I guess." (Lumi)

Kaguya just seemed stunned but I didn't say anything more. It's more from me being on the run from Ares, it's something I honed from those memories which now no one else remembers. Plus if I unsealed that person as she hinted at Gluttony would vanish into the air like that. I actually wanted to choose the first one yet my own mouth moved based on my instincts why does it always do that. Was it because the sense of dread I got from the 1st option. Actually why would she give me that choice in the first play then. It feels so off from the usual childhood friend I once knew.
