Chapter 138
“We didn’t know that you had already arrived . ”
“What… that isn’t even a good lie . Your subordinate Killion was waiting to receive me, how could you not have known?”
Sha shook her head .
“Did Killion truly meet up with you? How strange, it was not yet time for you to arrive . ”
“What do you mean?”
“You’ve arrived 1,000 years earlier than what was predicted . ”
Sha then spoke with L in her unique fashion which didn’t produce any sound .
“Oh, so that’s what happened . ”
“What do you mean?”
“Killion must have been waiting there for thousands of years in advance . ”
“Then I arrived earlier than expected, why is that?”
“I hadn’t expected the time flux to have shifted due to your influence . Abaddon has also been influenced by such change, which is why she loses her memory from time to time . ”
“Ah, so the alignment of the time flux is off… will this civilization suffer from my presence as well?”
“Yes . You put all of your knowledge into Skyfather, but after 6 . 6 billion years time too much has changed from your reality and the present . Also, can I release this?”
“Will Abaddon not resist?”
“It is okay . Abaddon’s memories were sealed a long time ago . Now she only knows herself as Norn . ”
“Just who are you guys, and what are you doing in my house!”
L let Norn out of the Redemption prison and she was now trembling in the corner of her living room .
“By the way, how did you discover Norn’s location? Sha and I were surprised since even Metatron hasn’t found a clue regarding Abaddon’s whereabouts . ”
“Well, I have my own secret method . Have you guys been protecting Norn’s identity this whole time?”
“Naturally, if Abaddon were to be resurrected then it would be quite troublesome for us . Still, I don’t think we can evade Metatron’s reach forever . ”
Simply by looking at Norn I had fully grasped the current situation .
Skyfather was the vessel for Abaddon’s powers, so if he were to meet with Norn then the was a strong possibility that Abaddon would resurrect . Similarly, should Metatron find Norn’s whereabouts, he would go all out to ensure Abaddon’s resurrection . For this reason Sha and L had to hide Norn from Metatron .
“What are your plans now, Johra? Oh, is that steak? It looks delicious . ”
“Uh… eat up, I prepared it for you guys . ”
“Oh, it’s steak cooked by the strongest god in all the universes! Regardless of the taste, it’s unique!”
L rushed towards the dinner table and tore into the meat . Sha however sat gently at the table and with the fork and knife ate her steak following proper etiquette .
As I watched the two enjoy the meal, Norn however remained wary and hugging a pillow on the sofa; however it had to be said that seeing our bizarre actions, her fear had lessened to a certain extent .
“Norn, why don’t you come and eat as well . ”
“Do you think I’d eat food served by a strange burglar?”
“Norn don’t speak about things you can’t possibly understand . You’d best come and eat this steak, such opportunities don’t come very often . ”
L chastised Norn while steak sauce dripped from the corner of his mouth . However Norn simply shook her head .
“Why are you here? If it isn’t for money, then is there some kind of grudge between us? If that is the case then I can only apologize since I can’t recall anything . ”
“It isn’t a grudge . ”
Norn replied with a frown, “then why did you imprison me in that terrifying construct . ”
“Isn’t that because you ran away from me?”
“It’s normal to flee when a stranger is pursuing you!”
Norn’s voice grew louder .
“But it was you who threw me to the ground . ”
“Tha… that was just pure instinct! If I was rude I’ll apologize, but you were the one who grabbed my sleeve out of nowhere so I think you’re the one in the wrong . ”
“Johra, did you really grab her sleeve?”
L asked with a mischievous face . They of course already knew all about the situation since they had been keeping watch over her, and were only trying to make me lose face .
“Shup up, I was thinking of way to strike up a conversation with her and it seemed like the easiest option . ”
“It’s quite shameful to suddenly grab a woman’s sleeve in a dark alley!”
“Right, I think you should excuse yourself, Johra . ”
“Oh, L you are mighty feisty today, as I remember you had a certain debt towards me… . ”
“Ah ha ha… did I? Anyways, I guess I’ll eat Norn’s steak as she doesn’t seem to want it . ”
As I put L back into his place, Sha continued to eat peacefully .
“Anyways, so miss Norn, I came here to talk with you . ”
I told her politely, but she remained reserved . Of course it was understandable since I was someone who had been waiting in her house in ambush .
“What business do you have with me? And after we are done talking will you leave me alone?
“Leaving… we are quite close after all . ”
“Johra, Sha is able to restore her memory for a short period of time, do you think that would help?”
Sha paused her eating and nodded .
“Okay, then when you finish eating I’ll have to ask for that favor . ”
“Sha nodded back and then went back to eating her steak .
“I can remember the memories I’ve lost?”
“Well, you lost a lot of memories, but at least Sha can help you to better understand the situation . ”
“Truly?”
“It would only be temporary though . ”
“It’s enough, I want to know about my past and why it is my memory keeps being reset .
I could feel the pain in Norn’s eyes, perhaps she would hold a grudge after knowing the full story .
‘What if you were to learn that your current situation was of your own choosing . Living a life of lost memories through the past 6 . 6 billion years… . Would you still be okay with it I wonder?’
Shortly after Sha finished her meal and wiped her mouth clean . After that she walked towards Norn .
“You’re not going to do something strange like open my head, right?”
She asked with a nervous expression .
Without answering Sha simply stretch forth her arm and placed her hand on Norn’s forehead
“Aaaah! It hurts! Dammit! Just why am I like this? Have I truly been living such pathetic lives? Johra what have I done to deserve such treatment!”
Abaddon’s fiery personality had awakened and she was shouting in indignation after learning of all the suffering she had endured over the years .
“You’re fine Abaddon, just calm down . ”
“Calm down my ass! Dammit!”
