It was now night time. I split ways with Hina at the lab. I was tired since Mr. Aide made me do some tests to see if I was alright. It was really troublesome. Especially since Hina was there. I had to strip in front of a girl! Luckily Mr. Aide noticed it and told me to keep my pants on.
"Today sure was something…"
I laid in bed and started to sleep. I could feel my consciousness slipping away. I opened my eyes once more, only now I was in a place filled with darkness. A void.
[You really thought I didn't have any sentience?]
The voice of a girl rang out in the empty void. Moments later, a blinding light appeared in front of me. It slowly took the form of a girl about my height. She had pale white skin and golden blonde hair. She had captivating purple eyes as well.
"That voice… Are you the system?"
[Yes. My name is Nana.]
"Oh you even have a name?"
[Of course I have!]
"Ow!"
She slapped so hard that I could have sworn my head was about to get detached. She sure had a lot of strength.
"Wait a minute…"
[You've noticed?]
"Yeah… How can I feel pain?"
[It's because this is your own pocket dimension. As you can see it's empty, but soon it will be filled with your items. Although, it won't be full.]
"So like an Inventory?"
[Yeah, you can call it that. You could access it by saying "Storage" and a portal will appear.]
I was really excited about this, since now I could just call out a portal that will be my storage. I didn't have to bring a backpack to school anymore. Although, that dream was quickly shot down.
[If you're thinking about using it as a daily thing, trash that idea. It can also be considered as a unique ability. And knowing that portals are a bad omen in your world, it would be a bad idea to use it.]
"Huh, that's understandable. Sucks though."
After a few seconds, I started firing questions in her direction trying to know the truth.
"What are you?"
[I'm a princess from another world. Well, I was a princess…]
"What do you mean?"
[I was sealed within the crystals that manifest your gauntlets. You thought those things were from your world didn't you?]
"I did, but now I hope it really was…"
[Don't be sorry, it was our fault that these portals are now opening up in your world.]
I was shocked at this statement so I asked her to tell me in a more detailed way.
[The demon lord is looking for me. I have the power to infinitely grow. I wanted to fight him, but my father told me not to. Because if I failed, my world would be doomed to destruction.]
"He wanted your power for his own gains huh?"
[Yes, if he didn't get me through marriage, then he'll just kill me and absorb my power.]
"That's messed up."
[Sure is…]
It was pretty messed up, but I can imagine a villain doing that. Killing for their own gain is a common thing in a villain after all.
"Nevermind that. The question is, are going to be stuck in my brain from now on."
[I revert back to my normal physical form if you want to.]
I paused for a second because of what she had just said. After a few moments I spoke once more.
"But didn't you say you were sealed."
[I was sealed, but my father set a condition that if I find someone compatible, I'll be able to go back to my original form.]
"Oh? I'm compatible, you say?"
[Yes, in both my power and me myself.]
"Oh… I'm not gonna question the latter, but how am I compatible with your power?"
[Because you were an empty vessel with infinite potential.]
"I don't get it."
[You can also grow infinitely like me, but since you didn't have abilities to grow, you didn't notice it.]
"Ah, I wasn't useless after all."
[Yeah.]
"I feel.. Tired"
[Well, being here is like being out normally, so yeah. You should sleep.]
"Alright, night."
[Goodnight.]
