Visiting Eisha

The Church at right now was not as crowded as when Haruto visited before. The building was as marvelous as ever, perhaps even comparable the Royal Castle although not nearly as large, but it was equally beautiful and majestic.

Elsie's eyes brightened with "Waah~~" seeing the majestic building. The Church she knew back in Calad could not even reach the toe of the one in front of her right now. The window was made by brilliant crystal and the pillars were made by gold and orichalcum with various gemstones as ornaments on the walls.

Looks like people were really fond of Eisha that her church was this luxury. Who knows in other countries though. Haruto made a sour face remembering the ancestors of the Church leader were a damn lolicon heck even the Emperor was a super masochist just what the hell was wrong with this world? He hoped the other countries could be better at that....

"We'll shall we go in?" He reached out his hand to Elsie.

"...Un. Let's go, Nii-sama."Elsie accepted his hand while smiling lovingly.

Haruto was stunned seeing her smile since it was very different than her usual childish and cute character. Right now she was making a very charming mature woman's smile. For a second he thought there's something wrong with his eyes or the person in front him was an impostor but he could feel her smile was very real and it was truly Elsie.

He scratched his cheek with tinge of redness acting a bit bashful. He grabbed her hand timidly and walked forward, entering the gate.

....

As expected some people were there kneeling and praying beneath the giant loli statue. He couldn't get used to such sight no matter how many times he seen it. Maybe he should pay a visit to the Central Church and gave them a piece of his mind while correcting the image of Eisha they had, he thought with his face convulsing.

Elsie was confused too seeing how her Okaa-sama was different than the one she knew. She puffed her cheeks thinking they're being rude to her mother by changing how she looked like.

If Eisha saw their reaction she would surely fell on her knees while blushing furiously and covered her face with her hands, showing how embarrassed she was.

In any case they had no choice but to join the people there kneeling on the golden carpet below. They purposely made the praying room a wide open area to appeal the sense of unity among believers.

....

"Uuu~ I want to die...."

When they arrived at Eisha's room they found her kneeling on the ground covering her face while blushing like mad.

Ah, she really did that. Haruto thought. She must be watching them when they came to the Church.

"D-Don't worry Eisha it's not all your fault...." He tried to console her.

"That's right Okaa-sama! They're so rude making you look small like that even though Okaa-san is a beautiful mature woman! Okaa-san is not a loli!!" Eisha added full of vigor.

"AAAHH JUST KILL ME NOW~!!" Eisha screamed.

....

"*cough cough* Sorry about that, so what brings you here Haru.....to-kun...?"

Eisha cleared her throat while her face still a little red she asked the reason Haruto came here but when she glanced at him she lost her voice and became stunned. Her eyes opened widely while rubbing her eyes as if she couldn't believe what she just see.

"Haruto-kun, you, what are you doing this last two days?" She asked while still having a bewildered face.

"What?"

"I'm asking if something happened to you recently!" She exclaimed with agitation.

"W-Why are you suddenly being turbulent? Hmm well even if you asked me I'm just training, entered a dungeon, spar with Kaori and fighting against a bunch of assassins, I guess? What's wrong with that?"

"....No, that's impossible because of that. Just why 'it' suddenly appeared...?"

"Hey, just what are you talking about since before?" Haruto asked getting irritated.

"Okaa-sama..." Elsie was getting nervous from Eisha's odd behavior.

"...."

Eisha squinted her eyes and moved closer to Haruto. She once again observed Haruto's figure thoroughly from bottom to his head. She sighed deeply when she's done.

"To put it simply Haruto-kun, you've awakened your power."

"Power? You mean Goku's?"

"Wrong! I mean YOUR own power, not Goku's!"

Now it was Haruto's turn to widened his eyes in shock.

His...own power?

"W-What do you mean Eisha..?"

"I meant what I said you have awoken the power inside your soul."

"B-But how can I possess any power? I mean, I'm just..."

A normal high school student. He didn't continue his word with that since Eisha should fully known about that fact.

"It's not like you're the only one you know? Otherworlders possessed a unique power too."

"What?"

"...Otherworlders retained a few amount of their previous life memories, you remember about this in the world right?"

Right, otherworlders in this world still had a little amount from their previous life memories. They could only recall very vaguely regarding their previous world and self, Haruto remembered that.

"There are some who might not remember any memories of their previous life just yet too. But the important case began here, what do you think will happened to those who managed to remember most of their previous life memories?"

"Huh? I've never heard of such cases, what happened to them?"

"There are such cases you just haven't seen them yet. And those people who managed to remember most of their previous life memories would awaken their previous power."

"What did you say..?"

"If they were a magician on their previous life then they would gained back their intelligence and spells. If they were a powerful warrior they would regained their old strength and power. If they were a genius doctor they would remembered how to cure people and performed a superb surgery with ease."

"...."

What the, isn't that basically like a second life!? Haruto shouted in his mind.

"It's not to the extent of a second life, I would say they still wouldn't remember their previous identity or relatives that they would completely retained their previous personality. They were a new person and have a new life but they have a 'gift' brought from their previous self." Eisha read his mind and explained.

"So, a new person with their previous life power isn't it?" Haruto nodded.

"Yup, they maybe affected a little on their character from the memories though, I wouldn't say none at all."

"But isn't that strange? I don't have any of those previous life memory you know?"

"...You're right Haruto-kun, you're not an otherworlder. That's why you're different from them, even I don't know why you have your own power. I knew it from the beginning but I never thought you would awakened it this soon."

Elsie just silently watching their conversation. She's not a very bright person so participating in a complicated talk was not her forte.

"So what power did I awaken? I don't feel any different..."

"You're not fully awakened yet, as of now it's still a mere seed waiting to sprout and grew into a vibrant tree. And as for what kind of power is it, I don't know the answer, you must find out yourself."

"Got it. Then it's about the thing I came here for..." Haruto nodded and changed the topic.

"Oh, yeah! Why did you come here Haruto-kun?"

"I wanted to ask a few questions, it's about Kaori why did she have some Skills she shouldn't have in the original story?"

"Aah, that's right I forgot to tell you, it's a bonus from me you know? Teehee!" Eisha winked and stuck out her tongue.

"....I'm grateful for that but I wish you could tell me about that beforehand... And what do you mean by "Teehee!" huh?"

Eisha beautifully ignored his complaint. A vein appeared on Haruto's head.

"So how many Skills did you add to her?" He asked with a forced smile.

"It's just [Limit Break] and [Supreme Break] since I figured Kaori needed some kind of trump card for her."

"'Just' huh, even that already made her a buggy character you know? But I guess that's reassuring."

"Kao-chan is amazing isn't she~" Elsie said full of adoration.

"Fufufu you're amazing too you know El-chan~" Eisha pat Elsie's head.

"Ehehehe~" Elsie giggled happily

Thus the 'mother and daughter' suddenly had an intimate moment and Haruto was left out alone with his face twitching.

"Ah sorry Haruto-kun, so did you have another question?"

"Hmm I guess that's about all..." Haruto pondered.

'Huh, wait what if I ask her advice about Fia's current problem. Since she's a goddess and smart she must have some ideas.'

"Hey Eisha there's something I need your opinion on...."

Haruto explained about Fia's predicament, how she lack strength despite learning quickly and agile. Eisha listened to his talk quietly and after he finished she touched her chin and began to think.

"Something to help her to deal more damage to the enemies huh...."

Eisha pondered for awhile and then she hit her palm with *pon* as if she had an idea. She extended her hands and closed her eyes. Light then gathered on her hands and form an object.

"Why don't you give this to her, Haruto-kun?"

"...What's this?"

"A case?" Elsie peeked beside Haruto.

She handed over a white thin metallic case with a simple design. Haruto was confused seeing her giving this case and wondered what it use for.

....Wait, somehow the case seemed familiar to him, where did he saw this case before?

'Ah!' he finally remembered.

"Eisha, could it be this case contain...."

"Hehe! Yup, consider it as another gift from me~" Eisha could read his mind that's why she knew what he's going to ask and confirmed his thought.

"I see, if she uses this then the problem would be solved. But is it alright giving me so many presents already? I mean aren't you still weak?" Haruto asked worriedly.

"Thank you for your concern Haruto-kun, but I'm alright, unlike creating a living person like El-chan and Kaori-chan, just giving this kind of presents use much less energy. But of course there's a limit though or I would exhaust all the energy from the crystal you just gave me."

"Is that so... Once again thank you very much Eisha. I promised I will do my best to not disappoint you."

"Thank you Okaa-sama!"

He and Elsie bowed deeply giving their thanks. Haruto was quite a prideful person and he rarely bowed his head low to someone else. So far he only did that when he was in the wrong, there's no shame in admitting a mistake especially if you're a man, that's what he thought.

But Eisha already helped him countless times and he felt very grateful for it that he didn't mind lowering his head.

"Hehehe of course, do your best both of you~"

With that Haruto let Elsie spent a little more time chatting with Eisha and he received more explanation from her regarding the gift for Fia. After that, they said goodbye to Eisha and left from the place and returned to reality.

Before they gone Eisha whispered something to Elsie and her face turned bright red after that. Eisha ended the whisper with "Good Luck~!" and smacked Elsie's back and pushed her towards Haruto.

Inside the Church, Haruto asked what they were talking about but Elsie just blushed and refused to answer so he could only shrugged his shoulders. He raised his body and urged Elsie to left the place.

....

Elsie walked silently behind him and remembered Eisha's words.

'El-chan, once you're brave enough, make sure to be honest and confessed your feelings to him okay? Haruto-kun is a blockhead after all, if you don't make it clear to him he won't be able to realize it.'

'Good luck~!'
