PANDORA

"Bye bye, we will meet again."

"Make sure to come again."

We are currently exiting the Astral realm and saying goodbye to each other. Wait, why am I forgetting something? Just as the light flashed, we again appeared in the same place on earth, 1 hour after the same time when we left. Yes, it was purposely created as a time dilation by the system to return without any time skip.

Wait, now I remember. I forgot to squeeze those fluffy ears and tail of Carry. "What a misfortune." I sighed and looked at the back of my right palm, which illuminated a reddish-brown magic circle with a figure of a wolf inside it. It was the contract formed between me and Nero, and through this, I can call Nero in any corner of the universe. And it will become invisible when it is not supplied with mana or any other energy. The same magic circle in bluish-white with a frog symbol is present in my left hand, through which I can call Shino.

I noticed that Ruby was a little sad but still okay because she made many contracts, for which she had to basically think about the beast and its magic circle would automatically illuminate. And I am too envious of Ruby for making so many contracts with beasts. And next Aqua, at least he is not emitting a depressed aura, and because of Ai's cheerful personality and my suggestion, he has improved his temperament, and I suppose in the future he will become a perfect Ikemen.

Anyway, as we returned home, I sensed someone familiar present in the home. And I am sure this person should not be present here.

"""Tadaima""" Three of us entered the house. And three of us caught sight of a tall woman with dark purple hair and red eyes wearing a black dress.

"Shishou," I said.

""What? Shishou?"" Both Aqua and Ruby shouted.

Ai came at the same time with a glass of juice. "Amy, you didn't even tell me that your teacher would come to visit; you are too mean."

Scathach was smiling inside, witnessing the difference in my mom's personality and mine. Anyway, the good thing is that Shishou didn't tell everything about me, like going to Scotland while leaving behind a clone.

Meanwhile, Aqua and Ruby were glaring at me for not telling them anything about Scathach.

"Well, let me introduce her again. She is my teacher, Scathach, from Celtic mythology. And Shishou, this is my mother, Ai Hoshino, and my twin siblings, Ruby Hoshino and Aqua Hoshino."

"Nice to meet you. I am Amy's teacher, and I teach her martial arts and spear arts."

"Same here; I hope Amy didn't trouble you that much." Ai said.

"Mom, I am bringing my teacher into my room for a talk." As I said, I pulled Shishou with me into my room.

"Anyway, Shishou, I didn't know you were coming here."

"Isn't it normal to visit the disciple's house? It seems you have forgotten about your Shishou."

"The same doesn't apply to you; if anyone gets news about you coming out of Shadow Land, it will alert the whole supernatural side."

"Then just don't let them know about it. Isn't it that simple?"

"If someone asks your name, would you answer, 'Don't let anyone know I am Scathach'"

"Don't worry, I just came to visit you for some important reason."

I got a little serious about the reason for Scathach coming here.

"Teach me how to use the smart phone."

"Wait, I didn't hear it clearly."

"You heard correctly; teach me how to use a smartphone."

So, basically, because I utilised my smartphone in front of Scathach many times, she also got interested in the new technology, which she had never seen before. Anyway, I taught her everything about smartphones and the internet. And Scathach also understood all of this and shared contacts with each other.

And that was where we spent some time, with me explaining things about my recent adventure and telling about some of the news about the supernatural side. And after that, we had dinner altogether. With that, Scathach left after dinner.

As I was approaching my room, I was pulled by both Aqua and Ruby to explain about Scathach. Ai was carefree as ever, but still, I found something new about her.

[NAME: AI HOSHINO

SPECIES- DEMI-GOD/HUMAN

RANK- B-

SKILLS: PHOENIX TRANSFORMATION, ABSOLUTE PYROKINESIS, FACADE

MOOD: ANXIOUS, WORRIED, RELIEF

LIKES: HER CHILDREN

DESCRIPTION- She is too obsessed with being loved, but after gaining a family, she has passed over this obsession.]

Before, I thought Ai was completely naive and childish, but I was completely wrong. I can now see her status, which indicates that she was anxious and worried, and the only thing that can worry her is a stranger coming to her house. She maintained a calm demeanour to find out whether Scathach had come with ill intent or not. She was relieved to know that Scathach doesn't pose any danger at all.

I suppose, after being exposed to the supernatural side, Ai is becoming more responsible as a mom. So, this is what a mom is like. I was a little uncomfortable because I didn't have any mothers for the last two lives, but finally, after getting a mom, I can feel the warmth of the family. I can finally say that Mom is the best thing in the world.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________

After one year,

It has been a year since I visited the Astral realm. And by the previous year, I had spent some months training with Scathach while my clones were busy preparing something for me.

Or I would say, finally, I made my own f*cking Gundam. Instead of half armour like IS, I made it complete armour. With Shinonono Tabane's character card, it is easy to make a normal IS. But what I made is better than all the models of IS. I made blueprints and other things, and with my clone, I can easily make this Mecha even if I am busy.

First, I will start with the core, or black box, which functions as the energy core and AI to collect all the data and proceed to run the IS. I replaced the energy source with an arc reactor while upgrading AI by giving it a personality. Now, where did the personality for AI come from? The answer is simply the Amadeus system. I converted some of my personality into AI and made sure that its core programme was programmed to follow all my commands.

Next, I replaced the IS blaster with The Dominator. I modified the blaster to replicate the same abilities as the Dominator. It will make it easy to subdue any enemy or even provide lethal attacks on the enemy.

Then I made a sword named Fujin 2.0. It was a long Odachi, just according to the size of the mecha. I replicated the same abilities of Fujin while making its shape similar to the Chakra sword, which I copied from Susanoo. I also added many runes to it to make it a more lethal weapon.

Next, I modified a long-range weapon into a perfect railgun, which is more explosive and energy-consuming than the normal long-range weapon. And if I use my Herrscher core, the energy will be easily conserved.

It also has space folding technology, which stores weapons and even spare arc reactors that can be used in an emergency. And also the energy shield, which can defend against highly destructive weapons. The runes added to it only work with the help of the mana of the pilot driving it and use runes to augment physical function or even attack with magical runes.

And finally, the whole IS is made with nanotechnology, with self-repairing technology, and also has many runes over it, which can help in many ways. If I say, this Mecha is a mixture of IS technology and Drag-rides in the Undefeated Bahamut Chronicle. It also carries many modes or shifts, but it will not upgrade the IS to another level. I also added Nalakuvera technology to it, which will help it quickly collect data and grow stronger over time.

And finally, the masterpiece is in front of me.

[NAME: PANDORA

ITEM TYPE: MECHA ARMOUR

DESCRIPTION- A weapon of mass destruction created by Amethyst Hoshino just to complete her dream of riding Mecha.]

Well, I will not deny the description, as I don't even need mecha with my abilities. But still, it is overpowered when combined with Nalakuvera's adaptability and runes added to it. I named this Mecha Pandora; it was a simple but better name.

As I touched the Mecha, it converted into inactive form and became an Amethyst earring. I made it able to detect my bioelectricity to work, and as I have HERRSCHER OF THUNDER, I can easily manipulate Pandora with changes in intensity of electricity flowing into it.
