"Oh my, I see you're finally awake young miss, my master was seriously considering bringing the village doctor to check on your current condition, seeing you have been asleep for four whole days."
'Four... days, was I really out for that long?'
I ask with an expriosnless face, not making my emotion shows, despite being a little surprised about the revelation.
Khaos as usual fulfills her purpose, as she answered me.
[Yes, you have been unconscious for four days, normally you should have got up a lot sooner, but it was like you were in deep sleep that was impossible to get up from, and no matter how hard I try to call out to you, you refuse to wake up, although you have been whispering some odd things in your sleep]
'Odd things, what kind of odd things?'
[Well rambles of a madman if I have to be honest... Things like broken words that seem impossible to understand, gibberish, and rambles, however, you seem to be saying the name of a person, every day, even minutes before you wake up, that person's name was the only thing you have been saying]
'A name ha... And what might that name be?'
[Lilu]
'...'
[...]
'I see... Well thanks for informing me.'
[No problem]
Upon consoling Khaos, unknown to me, the dark skin maid began to observe me secretly, from head to toe, as if observing an odd specimen.
But she knew she couldn't just watch me forever, so she sighed as she said, while walking toward me.
SIGHHHH!
"How do you feel?"
She asks me, placing the half-wet washcloth back into the metal bath pan, while carefully drying her hands with a neatly knit handkerchief with a beautiful pattern and design, her expression seems carefree, and trusting.
Right after she made herself towards my bed and sat at the foot, as she look at me and ask, trying to make a meaningful conversation.
"You seem a lot better compared to before when we found you unconsciousness at the gate."
Upon hearing this, I ask Khaos, in my mind.
'This language is rather new, but I understand it perfectly, I guess you learn it while I was out?'
[Affirmarive, I know the master would have a lot of questions when he gets up, and learning this language and installing it in your memory was my way of helping, it was one of the only useful things I could do in that situation when you are unable to move]
Khaos announce with a sad tone, as there is only so much she can do when I am unable to move.
I understand her to worry, despite being a living skill with a separate consciousness, I have accepted Khaos as a fellow living organism, a parasite that shares a body with me, our relationship can be described as symbiotic mutualism.
If I die the sister will also die, as such we are partners in a sense, I offer life and development, and in return, they offer power and protection, as result in their opinion matter, I understand the need not wanting to die.
In a sense, I felt yet another emotion I did not understand, I feel as if I have wronged them somehow because of my anger and frustration, I don't know what this feeling is, I don't like it, what am I feeling, after all, as a fellow living being, I understand that emotions are a key functionality that is needed to function properly, for that reason my thoughts on the topic of emotions are neutral, that why I strongly believe that all emotions are important, but at the same time they are all hard to truly understand.
This conflicted feeling within me was both an amazing learning experience and a confusing one at the same time.
As a result, my answer to Khaos was simple.
'I see.'
Right after me and the dark skin maid went quiet, the atmosphere was a little weird.
But I pick up back the conversation with Khaos as I said.
'Although don't you think speaking their tongue would come off as suspicious, honestly, I should be careful I have no clue where I am, whose house I was dragged to, and what these people's intentions are, either way, she does smell good, and I bet her flesh would taste good as well.'
[Most likely, but judging from this maid's behavior, she seems like an idiot, anyone with common sense would realize by now that your current appearance would distinguish that you are of a different race, this language she is speaking is the language of the dragons, although it was more ancient than the usual modern day draconian tongue that is spoken in the Fafnir content]
'Maybe she is, either way though, I want to get back to finding my mate, nothing right now is more important to me than this one task."
[Well I think getting as much information as possible is the most important task at hand first]
'That is true, seeing that we are in the uncharted territory of the unknown.'
But as Khaos inform me as such, the maid gave me a puzzled look as she said once more, finally using her half a brain cell to catch on to why I am not answering.
"Ah, how silly of me, I finally realize why you look confused, you can't understand me, hahaha my bad, my bad... I forgot we are from two different worlds, Well you are from the great beyond so it's only natural, although it's been over eighty-seven years since I last came in contact with a Beyonder, so I forgot which spell I need to use for you to understand me, was it "noitalsnart" or "snoitnetni", ahh I'm not very good with the pronunciation of the sacred words, sigh why do Miracles arts have to be so complicated."
The maid said with a mind-boggling face of pure defeat and confusion.
On the other hand, this instantly pique my interest, however, after merely observing her for a couple of minutes, I concluded that this woman is an idiot or simply too carefree, she talking as if I could understand her, and although I can, my point still stands.
However, I couldn't help but question her earlier comments as I said to myself.
'Miracle arts, what's that? Is it some other name for powers that related to Enlightenment via the use of Mantra?"
Of course, Khaos put in her input on it as well.
[I think it is, but I will need to analyze it more before I can give a more optimal and correct answer]
'I see take your time, there is no need to rush.'
Right after she said that my focus went back to the idiot before me, as she said with a smile on her face while knuckling her head and sticking out her tongue in a comedic fashion in an attempt to look cute.
"Agh that's right, it was noitalsnart hehehe... It's been so long since I use Miracle arts for anything but cleaning."
Upon saying that, the woman began to write the word noitalsnart in the draconic language on thin air, and after its completion, her words flew towards her and shattered like glass, as a green light coated her as if to signal the effect and action of her miracle art was starting to take place, she then looks me and said.
"Do you understand my now young miss?"
To be honest, I wouldn't be able to tell the difference, because I grasp this ancient tongue already, but I still played along, so I look at her and said.
"Who are you miss, and... A-am where am I?"
I ask shyly, pretending to be nervous and guarded in my words.
The maid saw this and smiled as she wave her hand in a motherly fashion and replied to my words as such.
'Kyhayaya~~ so cute, her expression and shyness are to die for.'
The maid said to herself internally, however, she soon regain her composure, as she said.
"Hahaha. You can calm down young miss, you don't have to be so defensive and shy with this big sister, I won't hurt you, concern for you is all."
"Ah ok. Am so what your name miss?"
And upon asking this question she got up and did a graceful bow while saying.
"Greetings young miss, my name is Rose, just Rose, I am a Dragon born, and head maid of the Regulus family, it's an honor to meet you."
"Rose Ha? Well Rose it's nice to meet you as well, and as for introduction, well my name is April Valentine, I'm a noble from the esteemed Valentine family."
"Ohhh I figure as much, your beautiful ta, and soft and well-groomed white hair isn't something a commoner would be able to maintain, although I'm just saying this base on our standard of living in our village"
'Tan, White hair?'
I ask a little confused, for a moment I think I was in my Cassandra form, however, Khaos answer what she did to me when I was unconscious.
[When you were unresponsive, I sense a group of people was passing by, so I modify Frostbite's initial form, by removing your ears, scales, and tail, while applying Cassandra's skin color and other noticed features to you, as an attempt to make you look more human and less monster like, I also digress your age by ten years, so currently speaking to these people you look a ten-year-old girl]
'I see, well thank you I guess, at least this way I would be able to trick people of my true nature, no way others will believe that a cute and defenseless little girl is a bloodthirsty cannibalistic monster right?'
[Egh. Master are you seriously planning on wearing these people]
'Honestly speaking Khaos I'm holding back, as I want to sink my teeth in Rose, after all, she is the most delicious thing I have smelled so far since I came to this world, and I'm a little hungry, I haven't eaten in four days you know.'
[Well I understand your frustration, but this place is filled with other people, I would suggest we don't attempt to eat our benefactor, not yet that is, we still need to investigate further, and don't you think these people would make good cattle for our farm in the dark box world]
'Oh that's right, thanks for reminding me, but I really need to eat something, I am extremely hungry, anything will do right now.'
[Well this place has a park, I bet you can find some easy prey there, so just hold up for a little while, we don't want to come off as suspicious don't we]
'Alright, I will try to fight my urges.'
However, at the same time, Rose looked at me and said.
"By the way, my master would like to have a word with you, well of course if you're up to it, if you are still feeling sick, then I can understand."
I then look at a Rose as I smile innocently and said.
"No that's alright I also want to ask some questions as well."
"S-S-so umm...um... Can you take me to your master B-big sister Rose?"
At this point, Rose EXE stop working due to April's cuteness, as she said.
"SOOOOO CUTE!"
