"Alright then Archive, I have many questions."

"Feel free to ask."

"First of all, why are you wearing a schoolgirl's uniform!?"

I failed to keep my voice down as I said that remark. It just does not make sense right? Why would an ascended being wear a schoolgirl's uniform?

"First of all, I took liberty in acessing your memories to create a vessel that you would be most comfortable in, which is why you have that 'human' body. Then I found it appropriate to create a similar vessel. Based memories, I knew that you would find it inconvenient and distracting to set your eyes upon a naked body. Because of that, I meddled with the process of ascension a bit and brought some clothing to reality using the blueprint in your memories."

This girl... She just keeps on ranting and ranting every opportunity she has. I feel like if I keep hearing her rants, the headache I felt during ascension will repeat.

"Still, that does not explain why you are wearing a schoolgirl's uniform!"

"I adjusted it to your preferences."

Okay, let us not talk about that anymore.

"Archive."

"Yes?"

"Explain to me our current situation."

There was silence for a moment. It seems like Archive is thinking about what to say. Maybe she is assessing our current situation.

"The--"

I suddenly remembered something and raised my hand once again to interject her.

"Just the important points please, and phrase it in an uncomplicated manner."

That should prevent her from ranting.

"We are just minor celestials, but so far, since we are the only celestials in this planet, we have outmost authority in this planet."

"This... planet?"

"Yes, its common sense for celestials to claim authority over their place of birth."

"Oh, how were we born?"

"I have no information regarding that."

"What did you mean by authority?"

She casted me a look of pity. I guess she is once again saying some words like 'degenerate' or 'stupid' in her mind. I can't help it though. She has the celestial's mind, not me.

"By having authority on this planet, everything in this planet can be shaped according to your will."

Wait. I let what she said sink in for a moment. Does this equate mo to a diety of some sort?

"Celestial is a better term for it."

I am a Celestial now? Does this mean I have great powers?

"However, since my celestial mind and your celestial powers are separated. We are not able to maximize the full potential of our power as a Celestial."

"What do you mean?"

Archive looks like she is thinking deeply once again. It took about half a minute before she started talking again.

"Let us have architectural prowess as an example. I have the ability to visualize an entire castle, with every detail, from bricks to foundation, accurately in my mind. However, I lack the ability to bring that visualization to reality. Meanwhile you, have the ability to move giant rocks or bend them at will. However, the best you could do is a primitive cave shelter."

That was quite a long explanation but I understood it well. Maybe if I brought Archive back to Earth, she would make a great Philosophy teacher.

If Archive took notice of my thoughts, she makes no mention of it. She just stares at me blankly, as if waiting for me to digest what she just said.

"Alright, so what do we do now?"

"Needless to say, we are unable to utilize our full power. As Celestials however, we have an in-born instinct of cultivating ourselves either by just naturally growing through the ages or consuming other etherial creatutes. It would be entirely naive to just do nothing out here. I could guess that there are still other Aether hatchlings around this planet. I suggest we find them and consume them. If we can not utilize 100% of our prowess, then we should just increase our overall prowess so we can use more prowess."

"Archive, your redundancy on the last part confused me."

"I can only use words from your vocabulary. It's not my fault that you have limited vocabulary."
