Chapter 108: "Like meet the past, and the future"

"What's going on here?"

When Bianka opened the door. She saw Thea who was still sitting in her chair stuck like glue, and Maria who was trying to lift her up from there, but to no avail.

From the conversation she heard before entering the room, Bianka like already knew what the source of the problem was here.

"Big sister Bianka why did you come here? Isn't it already late at night?"

Seeing Thea ask her directly, and ignoring Maria who hugged her from behind to drag her out of the work chair. Bianka crossed her arms in dissatisfaction.

"I have something to tell you. But, this problem can be put off until tomorrow. Thea, balancing work and rest is important. I suggest you rest for today."

"Ugh... You're like this too..." Thea bit her lips in unhappy.

Seeing Bianka immediately covered her mouth tightly because she saw her current condition. Thea closed her eyes for a moment, and she immediately entered the corridor of the Kaslana family space.

Thea knows that Bianka's arrival at her place must have a complicated problem, and she needs to solve it as soon as possible.

Because Bianka kept her mouth shut. So don't blame her for searching her memories in the halls of the Kaslana family corridor to find out.

After all, this is an urgent task.

"Thea..."

"Ughwh!?!"

Realizing that Bianka's memories already had an additional wall that came from Schariac's very thick blood inside her body. Thea opened her eyes again, and she immediately saw her big sister displeased expression.

"Are you trying to read my memory?"

"Yeah... sorry..."

Thea lowered her head guiltily.

Even though she could tear through the barrier created by Bianka very easily. It would be found out right away, and Thea didn't want to make her big sister so angry with her.

Bianka couldn't help but sigh: "I'm not angry that you want to try to read my memory. I just want to say that you should take better care of yourself. Don't get so busy with work that you forget yourself."

"But I..."

"No buts. My little sister, you should rest now."

"That's right Miss Saintess, rest easy. I slept quite a bit this afternoon. So, Miss Saintess can calmly leave all these tasks to me! I am currently feeling very energetic!"

Taking a deep breath, Thea, who was outnumbered, could only nod her head in resignation.

"Alright...."

Put the glasses hanging on her face on the table. Thea arranged the documents on the table to make it easier to find them, and she immediately stood up from her chair.

Thea knew that Bianka who was standing in front of her was a very stubborn person. She would not leave before seeing her off to rest.

To solve this problem, Thea could only go back to her room obediently.

"Maria, I've arranged the documents in order. Left is Schariac's house, middle is the Stigma project, and right is Schicksal. If there's any urgent matters, just tell me everything directly. I'll rush back immediately."

"Besides amber..."

"It's okay Miss Saintess! I can finish everything myself! Sleep well!"

Suddenly pushed by Maria to the outside of the room. Thea was confused for a bit, before she shrugged her shoulders helplessly.

"I like that kid." Bianka immediately expressed her opinion very straight.

"Yeah, me too. Although she's a bit silly and naive sometimes." Thea couldn't help but smile a little.

Walked back to her room together with Bianka. Thea who was looking at the night sky filled with stars in a daze, maintaining the silence, suddenly felt that her left arm had been nudged by someone.

Looking to the side, Thea could see Bianka's eyes looking at her with eyes full of worry.

"Thea, I want to ask you something. Is the stigmata terminal device really able to give stigma to other people, or is this all just because of your ability?"

Bianka asked seriously.

When she first rejoined her family. Thea has shown that she can give a stigma to other people, without needing special items like terminal stigmata device.

With the ability of her sister who can give stigmata to others. Bianka became very suspicious that the "artificial stigma" created by the alliance of the two powers, Schariac, and Apocalipse, was a huge lie of her own making.

If all of that really happened...

Then how much burden has been borne so far?

Bianka's eyes became very worried: "You must be very tired. Don't push yourself anymore, we are all very worried about you."

Hearing this Thea couldn't help but smile languidly: "Ehehe... I really didn't push myself a bit. Bianka's sister was just worrying too much, if I'm really tired, then I'll immediately go rest."

"Really? But Kiana said you like to lie."

"Big sister trust her words more, or mine? Don't take the words of a child seriously."

....

Walked together along the short, but also very long passage, and fell silent once again as silent as night. They finally arrived at Thea's room, and Thea entered there waving her hand.

"Good night big sister."

"Yeah, good night Thea. Sleep well."

Closed the door, and found her to be alone again. Thea, who admitted to being a little stressed, took another very long breath.

Since she became the Saintess of the Schariac house, and led the Schicksals who had suddenly lost their leader. She seemed to be sighing more and more often.

This proves that she was already very stressed.

"Ah, I've never notice a wine cabinet before in my room. When did this cabinet suddenly appear?"

If at the usual time, Thea would return to her room to take a short nap on the bed, and go out of the room quickly after taking a shower and sorting out her clothes.

Perhaps it was because she was daydreaming now, which caused her to have free time to pay attention to her surroundings, and allowed her to become aware of what she had been neglecting all along.

"If I wasn't thirteen, Himeko would probably ask me out for drinks tonight... Why do they like alcohol so much?"

"Is it because it will make you drunk?"

"What's so good about this feeling?"

Remaining silent in front of the wine cabinet for a long time, and was giving this matter some serious thought. Thea let her disturbing mind win, and she picked up the bottle of wine with some trepidation.

"Drinking a little is fine right? There's no one here either..."

Thea looked around warily.

She felt like she had returned to those moments where she would steal food in the middle of the night, and always worried that Cecilia would suddenly appear standing behind her like a ghost.

Very exciting, but also very scary at the same time.

"Let me taste some adult beverages. I should at least experience the feeling of being drunk to relieve my curiosity."

Lowers the sensitivity of her brain to the lowest, and can make her drunk very easily. Thea opened the wine bottle, and her head immediately became slightly dizzy from smelling this alluring aroma of wine.

Many memories of the entire Kaslana family are directly related to wine. Although Thea didn't know what kind of wine was in her hands because she was too lazy to search through her memories. This does not stop her from judging that this wine is very good.

At least from all the memories belonging to the Kaslana family, this wine could be rated quite high in their category.

Drink wine from a glass, and drink it little by little. Thea became slightly addicted to the mild taste of the wine, and she suddenly had hiccups.

"Hiks!"

Thea covered her mouth tightly.

Her face was completely red by this time due to the high alcohol content.

"Congratulations, you're drunk now. I mean, what do you expect from this?"

"Ah? What?"

Raised her head, and noticed that the surroundings had changed, becoming undulating like boarding a ship in the middle of a night storm. Thea shook her head in a very dizzy manner, and she saw a pair of small feet that had suddenly appeared in front of her at this time.

"Why are you confused? Wasn't the purpose of your drunkenness to relieve the negative thoughts in your mind, and summon me at the same time?"

Sitting in front of her, holding Baba Homu which has a pink or yellow color. The small version of Thea, looked at the adult version of Thea with very cynical eyes.

"Wine can make people happy because it will lower your intelligence. Maybe they will also see some illusions just like your current state."

"So, guess what, Is the me currently standing in front of you an illusion or not?

The small version of Thea dropped the empty wine bottle with a bored expression, and she looked at this adult version with a small smile.

"So what did you call me for? Have something you wanted to tell me?"

"Do you miss me? Another me?"

The little version of Thea smiled very sweetly.
