Chapter 21: "Agari and the mysteries of the universe part 2".

Tadano: "Don't worry about that, instead you think you can fulfill my request" I said smiling at her.

Agari: "Of course, I have always wanted to talk to Komi-San but I was afraid of not living up to his incredible being… I… I have no charm. I don't have a particularly pretty face, I'm a little chubby, my legs are short and I don't look particularly attractive. "How could someone like me even dream of getting close to someone as beautiful and prestigious as Komi-San is?" Agari said with her head down and in a sad tone.

Tadano: "Oh! Come on how can you think that. I think you are very beautiful Agari-San∼"

Agari: "W-What! No! That is impossible for someone like me ever!" said the girl very embarrassed. She refused to believe that anyone found her attractive.

 Tadano: "Oh come on, how can you belittle yourself so much, I think you are very beautiful, your hair has a unique charm and reminds me of nature, you have a round and pretty face that is accentuated even more with that pair of glasses." yours. And if we talk about your body… well the only thing I can tell you is that thousands of men would kill for you to be her girlfriend, of course it would be included on the list" I said while she winked at her.

Agari: "I-I… I-I… I don't know what to say, but do you really think I'm beautiful?" Agari said timidly, it was the first time in her life that someone other than her family praised her.

Tadano: "Sure! That's why don't doubt yourself, nor belittle yourself, have a little more confidence in yourself, I'm sure that by putting a little more confidence in your actions you will be able to relate much better to others. Trust me." I said as she ruffled his hair.

Agari: "T-Thank you" she said in an almost imperceptible voice, she was very embarrassed but also very happy that someone believed in her so much. Yes Tadano-Kun I believed in her so much. She would do her best to meet those expectations and prove that she was right.

She could feel a part of herself that was asleep deep inside her awaken.

She could feel another Agari bathed in a milky white light and wrapped in translucent silk, putting his arms around her and telling her that listening to Tadano-Kun would take her down a path where she would flourish as a person and she would have many friends.

This was the representation of her confidence and hope in herself. Something she had lost a long time ago.

When he wrapped his arms around her she calmed down completely and with a new conviction she decided to follow Tadano-Kun from now on.

Tadano, unaware of the fearsome monster that had just awakened, continued with her actions.

Tadano: "Okay Agari-San, I'll accompany you to the classroom. Oh! And I take this, a sweet is always good to relieve pain or stress, or at least that's what I read. Haha" I said as she took out a spicy tomato flavored candy. I bought it at a sweet shop from a kind old lady on the side of the road. As you would expect from Japan they have all kinds of flavors here.

I bought it out of curiosity, but now that I heard from Najimi that Agari likes this flavor, it doesn't hurt to give her this exotic sweet.

Agari looked at the candy in her hand for a moment and after a moment of daze. Tadano could see how he grew a pair of dog ears and a tail. Which he moved so quickly that he swore it left afterimages.

Agari: "Tadano-Kun! Thank you very much, I was looking for this candy for a long time but the stores I was looking for never sold it or it was finished" said the girl who jumped on him to hug him, she was very excited.

Tadano was surprised that in such a short time this girl became so bold.

But something inside her didn't let him push her away quickly and firmly like he wanted, instead he did it slowly and gently. This caused suspicion in him, his suspicions were also increased when he analyzed his previous behavior a little, although at first he would be kind and gentle, he did not plan to be as close with Agari-San, much less flirt openly as he was doing.

Apparently this system was influencing him in one way or another, so that he unconsciously sought to attract the attention of girls.

This scared him a little.

At that moment a familiar ding made him bright.

However, he in turn also saw how time around him stopped and everything around him was enveloped in darkness.

*Ding*

"Lady Luck understands your concerns, and she is willing to give you a little information in exchange for a request."

Tadano: "It's not really like she has a choice, right?"

*Ding*

"Lady Luck is a little offended by your comment. While she seeks entertainment at the expense of other mortals, she is not as brutal or treacherous as her divine counterparts. As a sign of good will, she will tell you that what is happening to you is not mortal nor will it change you completely. "

Tadano: "Okay, you have always been kind to me even though we barely know each other, I accept your request."

*Ding*

"Lady luck is pleased with your answer, she has already established the contract. In exchange for information about what ails you, she wants you to take care of the person known as Otori Kaede, although she does not expect you to dedicate your life to her, she expects you to make her happy.

Tadano: "If you allow me, I can ask why?"

*Beep*

*Sigh*

Just by hearing that sigh I could feel for a moment how all the hair on my body stood on end.

"Listen dear, we are eternal beings, although at this moment there are a good number of us, in the past eons had to pass for even one of us to be born. In the deep void of the cosmos. To avoid endless loneliness. That not even the Goddess of Time herself can stand. We gods have created many forms of entertainment. Some more radical than others. You are an example. Although your case is the mildest of all the ones we have had so far. The fact is that some of us have decided to separate strands of our consciousness and send them to possess a human in the different realities that exist in the multiverse. I think you're getting where I'm going with this."

Tadano: "You want me to take care of Kaede because she is a thread of your consciousness."

*Beep*

"She is not my mine but she is that of a very important friend who is not with me at the moment. That's all I can tell you. In exchange for my information I want you to take care of it, protect it and make it happy. If you succeed, I promise to give you my maximum support and even try to attract other gods so that the retaliation of the goddess of Destiny becomes non-existent."

Tadano: "You don't need to continue, I've already accepted right?"

*Beep*

"Not since I am asking you to accept this vessel that you use now, I want you to promise it under pain of your own existence."

Tadano: "Because you gods have to make everything so complicated, whether I accept or swear or promise, whatever the word is. I'll help you"

*Beep*

"Well, as the soul of the infinite cosmos, you have made a pact with me under pain of your own existence. Now you will keep my word and I will keep my promise." With those words spoken a runic seal with deeply intricate engravings came together in my being.

*Beep*

Author's note: well hello everyone, here I will try to expand the lore a little. Don't ask me too much why this came out alone, when I realized it I already had 4k words.
