Chapter 43 - Chapter 42 - Meeting a constellation

"Bye Fuyumi-nee-san! Don't come back!"

"I'll definitely come back, Kaguya! And I'll take Tomo for myself!"

"No!"

"Huhuhu, take care of yourself, Fuyumi dear."

"Thanks, Ooka-san!"

"You better dominate the entire school for Tomo, alright!"

"I'll try!"

"Bye-bye…"

"Aw, Eric, I'll come back as soon as I can, alright?"

"Ok…"

"Hey Tomo, say goodbye to your sister."

"He already said goodbye to me earlier, like a lot so I don't mind. Besides, I think he might need some therapy after this, just saying. Well then, I'm off!"

"Have safe travels!"

And like that, Fuyumi finally left and went off to the university. After this, we went back inside and I went straight to my room, covering myself with multiple sheets. I need to take a little break, no, I need a ton of break. I need to take a break from what happened last night…

'Hey Tomo, are you alright?'

'Do you think I'm ok to you, Lia?'

'No… but I thought saying it will make you feel a bit better.'

'It did, though it did get worse after that.'

'Ok. Well then, first of all, your unique skill and I are sorry that we didn't manage to help you. The skill that your sister possessed just had a higher authority than we can defend against. Plus, we also got dominated by the effects of-'

'I know. You don't have to tell me. I know it isn't your fault. It's just-'

'...'

'I should've steeled myself before that happened, or didn't get too close to her, or maybe I should have increased the level proficiency of [Mind Resistance] to counter her skill, even if it's a bit.'

'...Tomo… don't blame yourself, in fact, don't blame anybody, alright?'

If no one understood what is currently happening, in summary, I'm traumatized. In the past, I was quite fine and chill with the whole accident thing since I can't really remember anything about it but now, not only did I experience it again but due to the effect of her skill, every moment was more vivid and more sensitive and I can't forget any of it no matter how hard I try.

It was traumatizing, her reactions and such were traumatizing. I would be fine if it was any other girl but this is my sister who I am talking about! Even if my parents would allow it since it is quite a common practice among nobles and royalty but it doesn't mean I would like it. Plus, since my mind is being affected by reincarnation where my mind gradually rejuvenates into a child, it was more traumatizing.

I also didn't expect her to have that skill. One of the [Sins Series], [Lust]. Not only that but it is an Ultimate Skill, not a unique skill. This means she already maxed it out as a unique skill or was lucky or talented enough to turn it into an Ultimate skill. Granted, it doesn't have a modifier yet or a name since it is in the [Lord Class] but an Ultimate Skill is still an Ultimate Skill.

Not only that, but I also acquired this.

"Notice. You have successfully acquired [Unique Skill: Lust ]."

This. I acquired [Lust] as well. How? Well apparently, since my [Unique Skill: Knowledge] got completely dominated by [Lord of Lust], it reverted back to its basic function, which is to acquire knowledge, which means analysis.

Since it got dominated, my unique skill automatically analyzed the event and nothing else which made my unique skill have all of its attention to it and managed to completely analyze it. Of course, I only got a unique skill, not an Ultimate skill, but getting an Ultimate Skill from the analysis is almost impossible.

Now, there are going to be questions about this. First of all, why did I get the [Unique Skill: Lust] when it is part of the [Ultimate Skill: Lord of Lust]? There can't be two unique skills with the same name at the same time and it is more so in Ultimate Skills.

Apparently, the Ultimate Skill version of a unique skill is completely separate from each other. Even if they are on the same evolutionary path, it doesn't mean they are connected. This means you can get the unique skill version of an ultimate skill or a higher ranked ultimate skill than the original.

If we take [Lust] for an example, you might get a King Class Ultimate Skill after analyzing the Lord Class Ultimate Skill, by which when you acquire it, the person who has the Lord Class Ultimate Skill can't acquire the next evolutionary path which is the King Class unless you yourself lose it. If you don't then the one who has the lower-ranked skill out of the two must either skip an evolutionary path or choose an alternative and modified version of the skill to be able to evolve it.

This means you can theoretically have the same Ultimate Skill, but just have slightly different names and maybe have some different effects than the original. Anyways, enough of that. I don't want to think about anything right now. I need a bit of a break.

Though, that break quickly went by when I suddenly received a notice.

"Notice. You have been gifted the stigma [Self-Rationalization] by a hidden constellation to combat your trauma."

"..."

'What? What?! Did you just get a stigma out of nowhere?! Who is the constellation?'

'...It says it is a hidden constellation so I don't know. Besides, shouldn't you be the one who knows them since your original self is a constellation too.'

'Normally yes, however, this time it is a stigma that multiple constellations own, and not only that but all of them are thrill-seekers, so why would any of them gift you a stigma when there is no drama?'

'Are you saying that this suffering I'm experiencing is not enough?'

'That's not what I meant! I meant that these constellations are those who like some action and fighting, defeating powerful foes and such so I don't know why any of them would give you a stigma when there is really nothing going on here. Unless there were new constellations that I don't know of or one of the other constellations acquired this stigma as well, I don't know why would they gift you this.'

I see, so this is quite the peculiar situation, huh. Now did I think about it, don't constellations gift incarnations that they aren't sponsoring with stigmas if they accomplish a scenario that they made? If so, did I somehow accomplish a scenario without me knowing?

"Haah… forget it. Whoever you are, thanks for the stigma. Not that I really need it anyway. I was going to ask if you can reveal your modifier but that would be asking too-"

"Notice. The hidden constellation has revealed its modifier. The [Angelic Lover of Lust] says hello to the incarnation 'Tomo Tsukuyomi'."

'Wait, it's her! She's the one who gave your sister [Bounded Love]!'

'Really?!'

If she really is the one that gave my sister that skill, does that mean…

"Hey, why did you gift my sister that stigma? And are you the one who gifted her the skill [Lust]?"

"Notice. The [Angelic Lover of Lust] shakes her head and says she didn't gift her incarnation the skill [Lust]. She further explains that she just gifted her incarnation the necessary skill to fulfill the contract given, which is [Bounded Love]. The skill [Lust] was acquired in the middle of the event that happened months ago."

So my sister acquired it naturally during that time… Wait, if so then why did I not see that skill when I analyzed her?!

'[Knowledge], why did I not see [Lust] in the list of skills when you analyzed her?'

"Answer. It is impossible to detect skills at the Ultimate level due to the low level of analysis unless it was activated."

I see. Still, how the hell did my sister manage to level it up to an Ultimate skill?! Now I'm concerned about what she has done.

'Wait, isn't this constellation quite nice? I thought constellations are like bullshit.'

'Well, my real self is also a constellation. Am I bullshit then?'

'Yes, you are.'

'Are you fuckin serious?!'

'Just kidding, but seriously, this constellation is not too bad. It apologizes for what happened and also gave me a stigma to combat my trauma, isn't that nice?'

'Not all constellations are as bad as you think. This constellation is one of them. However, it doesn't mean they are totally good either. But, I can say that this constellation is at least one of the better ones. Although I don't know how she got that stigma in the first place. Hold on, let me talk to her.'

'Wait, you can do that?'

'Who the hell are you talking you? It's me, one of the only Time Spirits in existence and one of the clones of the Goddess of Time, of course, I can!'

Huh, this might be interesting.
