<~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~>
It's been a few weeks since I brought Ingvild with me to my dimension.
Not much has happened during these weeks because we never left this dimension as there was nothing that caught my attention.
Grisella has returned to the dimensional gap a few days ago because she said she had been away from that place for too long and needed to check on it.
Meanwhile, Ophis is still staying and has no intention of leaving this place... she says it's quieter here than in the outside world, but I'm sure the real reason is because she wants to eat my cooking.
So far, I have been training Rias every day to increase her stamina and mana, as I found out while training her that she has no stamina at all...
After running for short time she already gets tired and after using her power of destruction a few times she already runs out of mana...
That's why I changed her training from focusing only on stamina to increasing the mana she has.
Meanwhile, at first Ingvild seemed hesitated to talk to us but as the days went by, she became more comfortable chatting with all of us. When she found out that I, Sturm, and Fenrir are from another world, she became even more curious.
Every day she asks Sturm or me to tell her about the Sky Realm and the creatures in our world.
the Sacred Gear inside her body has not awakened yet... but judging from how much mana the Sacred Gear has absorbed, I am confident that it will awaken soon.
I can study the Sacred Gear as that's my original intention to bring Ingvild here. I could force the Sacred Gear to awake but I don't know if doing so would harm Ingvild's soul or not, so I choose to wait a little longer.
Grayfia also contacted me a few days after I brought Ingvild. She said she needed a little more time while apologizing.
I don't mind waiting for Grayfia, but if she's not finished after my strength is fully restored, I will bring her back without hesitation.
Speaking of my power, I can feel that my power will fully recover soon, and then I can cut open this dimension and connect it to the Sky Realm so Sturm and I can return.
Fenrir can come back anytime because she is still connected to the Sky Realm, and the reason she can appear here is because when she is here, she depends on mana from me so she doesn't disappear.
Thinking about it, this is similar to the system in Fate series where the servant need their master mana to exist...
"Come on, Rias, why you're already tired after just a short time" I yelled at Rias.
Currently, Rias, Fenrir, and I are in the large field in my dimension, as I mentioned before that I made this dimension similar to Zinkenstill.
[Zinkenstill]
"Hahhh... haaahhh..hahh....you demon..." Rias said to me, panting heavily from exhaustion.
I instructed Rias to shoot at Fenrir using her Power of Destruction, but so far she didn't manage to hit her at all...
Despite being in her normal form and not taking the training seriously, Fenrir evaded Rias attacks with just slight shift or movement.
"Fwuaaahh, is this still going? I want to go back to sleep..." Fenrir rubbed her eyes, trying to fight off her sleepiness.
It's still very early in the morning when I wake up Rias and Fenrir.
Rias is starting to get used to waking up early because every day I make her wake up since I started training her, but Fenrir doesn't like waking up early at all. If it weren't for my command, I'm sure she wouldn't care and would go back to sleep...
But even though Rias didn't manage to hit Fenrir at all, I can see that her mana is increasing more and more for the last few weeks, and she can last longer before getting tired.
"Haaahh so tired...." Rias immediately collapsed onto the grass after running out of mana and energy.
I walked over to her. "Here Rias, drink this."
Upon hearing my words, Rias sat up and took the glass filled with water I offered then she immediately gulping it down.
"Good job Fenrir. you can go back to sleep if you want." I turned towards Fenrir.
Fenrir nodded upon hearing that, then walked under a tree to go back to sleep.
"Pwahhh, I'm alive again," Rias spoke after finishing the drink I gave her.
"By the way, Rei, this drink you always give me always manage to restores my mana and my energy. What is this drink anyway? It's looks like water but it's taste more rich and pure" Rias asked me, handing me back the glass.
Huh... Where is it from...
I didn't want to remember that incident with Gabriel again...
"It's better not to think about it, Rias. The most important thing is that your energy is back now," I replied while smiling at Rias.
Rias was confused upon hearing my response, but she eventually decided to ignore where the drink came from.
"Oh right, Rias, I remember you are still studying at Kuoh Academy, right? It's been a few weeks since you've been here, Don't you need to go back to school?" I asked Rias while offering my hand to help her up.
...but Rias remained silent, not responding to me at all.
"Hello, Rias?"
"Aaaahhhhh!!!! I forgot about school!!" Rias suddenly shouted.
...huh.
"How could you forget about your own school?" I stared at Rias, who was holding her head with both of her hands.
"Well, a lot has happened in the past few weeks! I've been too focused on getting stronger that I forgot about school and my peerage members."
Rias then stood up quickly and looked at me with a pleading gaze. "Rei, please open a portal to my school! You remember where it is, right? You appeared in the school grounds last time."
"Um, Rias... I don't mind opening a portal to your school, but are you sure you want to go back wearing that outfit?" I looked at the clothes Rias was wearing.
Currently, Rias was dressed in Narmaya's old clothes, as they were similar in height and body size. So, I just needed to adjust Narmaya's clothes slightly for Rias to fit into them, and the school uniform she wore when she came here was stored in her room
[Narmaya Old Clothes]
Upon hearing me, Rias looked down and realized she was wearing revealing clothing and a very short skirt. "Ohhh, right... I forgot."
<~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~>
I am currently relaxing on the living room sofa, waiting for Rias to change into her school uniform.
I am alone in this room as it is still early, and the others are still asleep.
"Good morning, Rei," I suddenly hear Ingvild's voice entering the room.
"Oh, good morning, Ingvild," I greet Ingvild casually, waving my hand towards her.
"How you doing? Is your Sacred Gear causing you any discomfort?"
I can still see that Ingvild's Sacred Gear has been absorbing mana from her for the past few weeks and has not stopped at all.
"Hahh... there has been no change at all. I still feel the same as before," Ingvild replies while sighing before taking a drink for herself.
After she drinks, Ingvild walks towards me and sits next to me, looking at me as usual, her stare saying something that she wants me to continue the story about the Skyrealm...
"You know, if you're curious about my world, I can take you there once my strength has returned,"
"Eh!? Really? You want to take me there?" Ingvild stared at me with shining eyes.
"What! You want to take Ingvild there!?" Suddenly, we both hear Rias entering the room.
We both turned towards Rias, who is already wearing her school uniform. "Yes, besides, Ingvild doesn't have anything stopping her from going anywhere, so it's fine if she wants to come with me while you still have many issues to resolve."
"But I also want to see that other world," Rias grumbles looking annoyed because she's understand what I'm saying is true.
"Sorry Ingvild, I don't have time to tell you about my world, but you can ask Sturm later when she wakes up," I stand up from the sofa and walk towards Rias.
"Where are you two going?" Ingvild asks me.
"Rias and I are going to Kuoh Academy because Rias has been skipping school for a few weeks," I reply to Ingvild, raising my right hand and creating a crack in the air that connects this dimension to Kuoh Academy.
"School huh..." Ingvild murmurs when she hears what I said.
Rias seeing Ingvild's expression immediately understands what she is thinking. "Ingvild, if you want, I can take-" before Rias could finish her sentence, I pull her into the portal I created.
"We're leaving now, Ingvild," I then enter the portal and leave this dimension.
