'…Lieselotte Sherlock and Selina Sherlock?'
Viktor's eyes widened in shock seeing two of the prominent characters in the story of Trinity Seven. The young version of Lieselotte Sherlock… along with her younger sister, Selina Sherlock.
'So, this is Liese Chronicles huh… but where is Aries Chaldea? Knowing her character in the manga, she would've assassinated me before I'd even approach her.'
Aries Chaldea was the Trinity Seven of the world in Liese Chronicles or Beta-Universe, not Lieselotte Sherlock as Aries Chaldea beat Lieselotte Sherlock in mastering the Last Crest of the Acedia Archive.
The Liese Chronicles of the Beta-Universe is one of the many parallel worlds where the known story of a Demon Lord with his Trinity Seven once awakened, will destroy their world.
However, what makes this world so unique was that it was the world where the Future version of Aries Chaldea, The Heavenly Arbitrator of Time in the Manga of Trinity Seven, originated from.
This world was essentially Aries Chaldea's origin thus it was always protected by her… that is why Viktor frowned in suspicion.
'No… this isn't right. If there's no Aries Chaldea here, then… is this one of the many parallel worlds of Trinity Seven? A possible identical world of Liese Chronicles??'
Parallel Worlds are already established in the Universe of Trinity Seven, it is unknown whether the "Gods" created it or some other Higher Being, but they have one thing in common.
They are like branches, all connected to the world of the "True Demon Lord" – Deus Trinity, previously known as Lucifer Trinity; a Fallen Angel from "Heaven", through "Dante's Gate".
'To actually see me whilst I'm moving at this speed… Did I get cocky by not training enough? No… it's just because we're near each other. If I'm a few meters away, I doubt I'll get detected even by her.'
Viktor took a mental note of this situation as this was the first time ever that a person had managed to detect him whilst hiding his presence.
'Now… where's the buffet? Hehehe'

"Umu? Nee-chan, why did you stop? Did you step on something? Huh… there seems to be nothing on your shoe. Is something wrong?"
"N-nothing! H-here take another cupcake!"
"B-but I still have-"
"No, I think you need another one."
"O-okay!"
"Sweet! It's too sweet Nee-chan! What if I get sick?"
Lieselotte Sherlock was hesitant on telling her little sister, Selina Sherlock, what had just happened. It was that feeling again… the feeling that she can calculate the entire world…
She pinched her cute sister's chubby cheeks,
"I doubt it you'll get sick Selina, you've eaten more sweets than that last time we went out with Oba-sama."
"Meanie! …I didn't eat that much.. did I?" Selina said the last part inaudibly but Lieselotte still heard it and snickered.
'I suppose I could tell her later about that…'
The two sisters continued to walk towards the library, passing by the main room where the reunion was hosted. Both of them had already scoured the place a few hours ago so that they wouldn't get lost.
The maids who were stationed at some rooms bowed as they both passed by,
"*Whisper* Nee-chan, I'm still not used to this…"
"Just think not much of it and walk by them."
"Lieselotte-ojo looks so cute in that dress, did the head maid prepare it?"
"A dangerous combination of cutes and smarts, have you guys already congratulated them about their winter project? I heard from the other maids that it was to be used in something important in the government."
Lieselotte's face flushed a little when she heard the whispers of the maids, Selina beside her began to laugh softly as she mumbled,
"So, you were saying nee-chan?"

'A kilogram of meat really does the trick especially when its barbeque flavor… it tastes so good.' Viktor thought in delight, snacking on the piece of meat on his hand
10 minutes had already passed ever since he saw Lieselotte Sherlock, they looked like they were going somewhere but he didn't really know where. The mansion was massive after all.
Viktor ever since he saw the young Lieselotte Sherlock and Selina Sherlock already assumed the worst, that this world was Liese Chronicles even though Aries Chaldea was still missing in it.
'…Does the Heavenly Arbitrators want to recruit me? From the series, even slight anomalies couldn't ever escape their eyes. Noted with Master Biblia seeing 'something' in Minamoto Harukage… Tsk, I can't remember what that 'something' is, but it's related to the 'Gods'.'
CHOMP
'Please God or some Higher life form, must that be the case I'll pray for you for eternity before I go to bed to sleep.'
CHOMP
'*Sigh* Though realistically… the odds of me reaching 'Heaven' if things go to plan is around 15%. It's already a lot but… not enough.'
CHOMP
'…If this is really Liese Chronicles then I have to deal with that overpowered Demon Lord of Acedia… Chronos Trinity. The 'Villain' born from Lieselotte Beta Universe's desire to resurrect her dead sister, Selina Sherlock.'
'…The difference of the Lieselotte from the Story and the one in the Beta Universe was that the one from the Story went to Master Biblia who assisted her in dealing with one of the vampires thus saving Selina Sherlock's life.'
'The one in the Beta Universe however didn't go to Master Biblia but instead went back to their house, where she found a secret passageway on their garden to the treasure of the Acedia Archive… "Gleipnir" – the 'Wolf God's' restriction chain capable of manipulating spacetime, a divine treasure that transcends all spacetime.'
'I can let it all play out and, in the end, I would be safe through resurrection since Lieselotte Sherlock and Aries Chaldea reverted this time back however… that is not likely 'me' any longer.'
Viktor thought sharply, it was a huge gamble after all if he were to bet his existence on that event. What would happen to him after they revert back the spacetime? Would he still be himself? Or would he be erased as he was not of that world?
'Sorry Liese but… I'm taking that treasure for myself. I'll just lend it to you when you really need it again.'
This was Viktor's best bet of surviving for long enough as that treasure could amplify its wielder to the likes of a "Demon Lord".
'*Sigh* Why must this world be this cruel, you really have to be exceptional to survive the plot.'
'There's still that other option, stealing the Demon Lord Element at the Eternal Library but… that would leave this Lieselotte underpowered for the Final Battle which decides the entire fate of the worlds later on…'
CHOMP
Viktor dare not mention the name of the being in the Final Battle as Master Liber, the head of Royal Liber Academy, a Heavenly Arbitrator, stated that even for a 'decent' Magus in 'Heaven' which was near the power of a Trinity Seven, even mentioning 'its' name was enough to drive them insane.
'…I don't even know how to reach the Eternal Library so either way it's just a possible option. The most viable one is still stealing the Treasure.'
"*Whisper* Selina, are you certain that this is the Son of our Grandparent's friend? I think there's something wrong with him in the head… eating and laughing alone in this library."
