< Tsuchimikado Tower, 88th Floor, Arisu's Private Floor >
" By the goddess... " Battle Maiden enters the Grand Priestess' Private Floor, a Building Floor entirely just for her.
She couldn't see the whole place but she could sense and tell that it is wider than what she thinks of one's private place.
"( This large place is her entire private domain? )" Battle Maiden stuttered, wondering if a sixteen-year-old should possess this kind of thing, to have such a wide private place.
This brings the Maiden more questions, like how does Grand Priestess Arisu clean the whole place? does she have a maid, a group of maids in charge of cleaning this Floor, perhaps? how does she pay them? does she use all of the facilities on this Floor or...
" This place... " Battle Maiden stutters as she realized what a huge space she's in now, she realized how poor she was, despite being from a prosperous family herself, she felt that this is too much, even for her rich standards.
"( This is nuts, this space... )"
"( And she told me that this entire Tower Floor is for her, alone? )" Battle Maiden begins to think about this, despite she can't see the whole Floor and witness what she fills in it, she could only predict how spoiled the Grand Priestess is.
"( I wonder if her parents really permitted her to have this much... )"
"( But based on what Ragridur told me, her parents already passed out when she was Twelve. )"
"( And since she's also the Current Tsuchimikado Clan Leader, then... )"
" Sister Orianna! " speak of the person*, as she comes with scant clothing as just throws her fashionable clothes into her huge sofa, the sofa that Battle Maiden is currently sitting on, for she sits at the tip of the sofa, which still considered by her as large and cozy.
" Hey, calm down, A-! " before Battle Maiden could speak again, Arisu quickly hugs her as the two girls lay down on the sofa they were in.
As it happens, Battle Maiden then lifts Arisu with her hands, realizing that Arisu's body is so light making her wonder of the Priestess' current weight.
"( She's so light, does she have a nutrition deficiency or something? )" Battle Maiden wonders for the Priestess feels lighter than every woman she's ever met in her life.
" Oh my, sister Orianna, you're strong. "
" Guess you are really what they called a 'Warrior Woman', aren't you? " Arisu asks.
" Well, Arisu or Alice. "
" Can I call you with '-chan', perhaps... "
" Sure you can, Sister Orianna...! " Arisu quickly responds.
" You are older than me, both in age and experience as a Divine Avatar! "
" Besides you are the Avatar of Lord Athena whom my nation's gods respected to their core for her bravery. "
" And if my gods honored her like that, then as their Avatar and Grand Holy Priestess... "
" I must've honored you as well, you are here not as my henchmen or servant... "
" You are here as an equal to my status, my senior. " Arisu tells the Maiden, telling her that while she's with her, Battle Maiden does not have to be formal, unlike the other servants in this Tower.
" I see, I'm honored. "
" To think a Blue Blood Clan Pureblood descendant would honor a 'Halfblood' like me, I... "
" You're a Blue Blood descendant too, sister Orianna!? " Arisu asks loudly, excited as she hears it while asking for proof Battle Maiden cuts a bit of her finger, to show her mixed blood for Battle Maiden's blood color is both Blue and Red as her Blue Blood is still dominant in her, hence why she still has the Noble Power and Rights in front of the gods.
Arisu sees it, she is so impressed by the Maiden's blood color, realizing its uniqueness of it while Battle Maiden explains that her Blue Blood came from her grandmother, passed to her mother, and finally, passed onto her.
" Interesting, Sister Orianna. "
" Your Blue Blood must've come from a powerful Blue Blood Clan family to even survive the 'Impure Breeding'. " Arisu says she mentions the 'Impure Breeding', a term for every Blue Blood Clan descendant for those of their own who married those outside the Blue Blood Clan descendants, back then, this term is very hurtful to those who do this, but now, ever since the Male Descendants' decrease and most of the Blue Blood Clan descendant rarely produces one, this term is not that hurtful to those who did this, for many already decided to do this for their own blood's survival or perhaps realizing blood doesn't mean anything in the modern age anymore.
" Yes, I guess so. " Battle responded to Arisu's impression about it, for she didn't take it seriously too about her blood, being blind for her life really made her can't see how everyone valued one's blood color or something, it really does not matter to her if the Blood Color is deemed good, great, beautiful or somewhat, for whatever the people say, she will never 'see' it's value.
"( Even now, I'm still wondering what's great about having a Blue-colored Blood. )"
"( Does that mean my life will always be lucky or something, I think not. )" she deems as she decided to tell Arisu to change the topic for she does not want to talk about herself but instead.
" Could you please tell me about yourself first, Alice-chan? " she says to her.
" I'm new here and I probably didn't know much about you either, so... "
" Would you mind telling me about it? "
" Of course, sister Orianna. "
" You're right, I should've told you a lot about myself first since I believe you rarely had time to research any person yourself, right? " Arisu says while looking at the Maiden's eyes, covered by her blindfold.
" Okay then, let's start from my Clan's history, shall we? " Arisu says which surprised the Battle Maiden for she didn't ask to know her story from that part.
"( Oh my, she starts from her ancestors? )" she wonders, wondering if Arisu really wanted to tell her all about herself.
( While the two women are talking to each other. )
...
( At someplace. )
" Hmmm... since this Japan, guess I had to rethink my plans. "
" First, I can't do things chaotically while not knowing more about the whole situation here, I need some time, for even during my military youth I was never sent to this country. "
" Second, guess I should get some helping hands. " the man says to himself while clicking his phone.
" After all, I've heard Japan had some great crazy guys in their Underworld and Outlaws. "
" Should I use them? " he says as he clicks his phone again, sending or posting something to a website in the Dark Web, a website that could be seen by those who could access it and see what he just posted.
" Many would refuse, but some would take it. "
" Those who had the balls to face danger, I suppose. " the man says while smoking in that place.
( At the same time. )
" Preposterous, who posted this!? "
" That's insane, why the hell you wanted the Grand Holy Priestess to die!? "
" Reject this, let's go eat some ramen instead! "
( Meanwhile. )
< Location: Ikebukuro, Tokyo >
" Hmph, interesting... " said a person as he used his Gift Ability as he kills his rival there, he sees his phone as he accessed the Website.
" All of this for, hohoho... I see now... "
" Whoever posted this must've hated this woman so greatly or somewhat, kekeke. "
< Location: Unknown Alley in Tokyo >
" The Grand Holy Priestess, huh? " said a person as he was accompanied by 'creatures' that he controls to scour the corpses of those he ordered it to kill.
" Guess, it's time," he says while seeing the website and crushing his phone.
" I've been waiting for this, Tsuchimikado. "
