Chapter 120: "My other self, confirmed"

"Are you angry?"

"(I am not angry.)"

Entering an unfamiliar room, and met a figure that was very familiar to her. Seele breathed a sigh of relief, and she began to slowly wipe the tears that were around her cheeks.

"Hmm... You don't need to hide it. From your tone, and how you feel, I can tell that you are mad at me."

"(Hum!)"

Veliona snorted in annoyance.

After failing the X-10 experiment, and her body was transformed into a quantum state. Seele was dragged into the Sea of ​​quanta by force, and she is currently still floating everywhere.

In this place, the logic and laws of physics in the real world could no longer be trusted.

This is a very dangerous place, because all the most absurd possibilities can arise in this place.

"(Are you satisfied now?)"

Seele lowered her head guiltily: "Sorry... For bringing you to this place."

Seeing the depressed Seele, and blaming herself. Veliona couldn't help but sigh: "(I've told you from the start that it's still too early for you to use that power. Sigh, things are really getting very troublesome.)"

"(Then, do you have any other plans now?)"

"No..."

Feeling more and more useless. Seele groaned uncomfortably, and she lowered her head further down.

"(Never mind, complaining about each other won't solve anything either. Besides, there's something that makes me a little curious.)"

"What is it? Seele will answer it as best I can!"

"(No need to get excited like that. I was just curious, what do you mean you can feel my feelings?)"

"Ah..."

Seele fell silent.

"What do you mean?"

"(Ah? Don't tell me that the way you said before was a lie to appease me. Even though I didn't have high expectations, you managed to disgust me. I hate liars.)"

Felt Veliona would hate her if she kept her mouth shut. Seele shook her head frantically, and she immediately spoke.

"No, Seele can really feel your feelings!"

Regulate her feelings, and her emotions. Seele spoke once more.

"Actually... Seele knows that you're the one who always takes all the negative emotions for me. Seele, knows this."

"(....Hah?)"

"Every time Seele feels scared, you always appear and accompany me. Although Seele didn't notice, Seele could always feel your warmth."

"(....)"

"To be honest, at first Seele thought you were some kind of evil demon. But after seeing you one more time, Seele realized that you've always been standing by my side all along."

"I should have realized all this long ago..." Seele clenched her fists tightly: "You are not a devil, but you are another me. Something else inside me."

Looking at Seele who had a hypothesis of her own. The Seele-like girl gave a small smile.

"(Interesting, you mean I'm another you? What's the proof?)"

Seele answered her seriously: "Seele can still feel your mood. Besides, aren't our faces the same?"

Stunned by Seele's very innocent and naive words. Veliona could only cross her arms in dissatisfaction.

"(Theoretically, I am the Will of Stigmata. But if you insist, then I will accept this opinion of yours. However, I also doubt why I was born like this.)"

"Really!? So can I call you my other self?"

"(Just do as you want.)"

It was as if the barrier between the two of them had disappeared in the blink of an eye. Seele approached Veliona slowly, and she gripped her hands tightly.

"(What are you doing?)" Veliona raised her eyebrows in confusion at Seele's odd action.

Holding Veliona's hand, and could feel a sense of warmth through the transmission between skin contacts. Seele smiled with great relief.

"Thank You."

"(...Ah?)"

"Seele grateful for accompanying me to this place."

"(....)"

"Although Seele doesn't know what will happen in the sea of ​​quanta. With you here, Seele is not afraid anymore."

"Seele really very grateful."

"(....)"

Could feel a transmission of warmth radiating from both of her hands, and go straight into her hardened heart. Veliona who felt this strange feeling for the first time, looked to the side with her cheeks slightly reddened.

"(.... Seele you idiot. Why are you so cute?)"

"Hehehe...."

"(I'm not praising you!)"

Keep brushing Seele's hair, like Bronya always did for her. Veliona now knew why everyone liked Seele so much.

She is an angel.

"(Are you feeling tired?)"

"Um... little..."

"(Then get some rest. Since the experiment started, you haven't slept at all.)"

"Okay...."

Looking at Seele who had heavy eyelids, and was exhausted from everything she'd been through the whole day. Veliona used the power of the two of them, and a bunk bed similar to the one in an orphanage, appeared in this room.

"This... It feels like my bed..." Seele was immediately suprised.

Veliona smiled smugly: "(This bunk bed is indeed your bed. After all with my newly acquired [Creation] power, I can create whatever I want here.)"

Lying on a bed that was so familiar to her. Seele, who felt very relaxed, was finally able to pay extra attention to her surroundings.

From the beginning, she sank into the sea of quanta and was dragged everywhere. But somehow, she suddenly walked into this room, and met her other self.

Seele became very curious.

"My other self... Where is this?"

Veliona sat down next to Seele's bed, and she answered her question calmly.

"(This is a space I created that can protect us from what is out there. Right, you could probably call it a small bubble in the sea of ​​quanta.)"

"Haa..."

Although didn't know what her other self was talking about at the moment. Seele nodded her head pretending to understand, and she hid half of her face into the blanket.

"You made this... For me?"

"(Aah? Who said this is for you! I just don't want my peaceful sleep in the sea of ​​quanta to be disturbed. This isn't for you at all!)"

Seele smiled slightly, and she looked at her other self with an angelic smile.

"Thank you... I am really very happy that you are here."

"(....)"

"Hmmm...."

"(Go sleep, have a nice dream.)"

"Yeah..."

Waiting for Seele to fall into a deep sleep. Veliona who saw Seele fall asleep soundly within a few seconds, finally sighed heavily.

Uses her powers to create a sound insulation barrier around Seele's bed. Veliona stared at the corners of her dark room with a wary gaze.

"(That's enough, come out.)"

Creates a pair of large hand weapons with sharp claws at the sides of her body. Veliona stared into the darkness with dangerous bloodshot eyes.

Since the two of them entered the sea of quanta, in addition to the heavy pressure given by the sea of quanta itself, the girl could feel the feeling of peeking, and oppressed who was watching the whereabouts of the two of them at this time.

Is it a creature that comes from the sea of quanta? Or fellow creatures of the same kind who enter the sea of quanta?

Whatever the answer, she still had to be vigilant.

"(Do I need to repeat it one more time, or do you want me to get you out using violence?)"

"Ahem, wait a moment. I need to arrange a few things first. It's my first time coming to a place like this."

Exit the shadow area. Veliona who saw a familiar figure, immediately opened her eyes wide.

"(You... How can you...!!!)"
