Chapter 31: Crazy Appearance.

  Upon entering this Guild branch, Celia was immediately faced with Midas. The secret Goddess was all smiles, happy to see that, like always, Celia magically gained absurd amounts of power, and in such a short time since they parted…

  Celia: “Midas… have you come to visit me?” She asked with a confused tone.

  Midas: “Visit? No, no. In fact, I took over this branch, and now I lead it.” She nonchalantly answered.

  Celia: “(~OAO)”

  Ria: “…” “Zia, why do interesting things… just happen to our charge?” She asked in her mind, sighing.

  Zia: “Of course, it is must be because the girl is favored by Higher Beings. How else would she achieve this Level, even while so young?” She confidently replied.

  Since birth, Zia has been in Ria’s mind. Or rather, the woman knew that she wasn’t crazy, as Zia was able to take over their body when she wanted to do so.

  From going to a doctor skilled in Magic, Ria also knew that it wasn’t a split personality, with Zia having her own, unique soul. Them being so similar… was what truly baffled the person they went to see, and Ria herself.

  Midas: “Surprised? Dear little Celia, I see your progress, and as a fellow sister with the same… fate, how could I not ensure that your life is a breeze?” She said with a warm tone.

  Unauthorized usage: this narrative is on Amazon without the author's consent. Report any sightings.

  Celia: “You mean…” She didn’t say more than that.

  Midas: “Correct! Here, an updated Guild badge, marking you as an S Rank.” She nodded, before then handing the mentioned item into the speechless Celia’s dainty hand.

  Runey was cold and mostly unfeeling, but not cruel. For what was taken away from the System, she added more… reasonable benefits to it. One of them being how, the more Levels you gain, the further your beauty gets enhanced.

  Those in this Guild branch, the staff, passersby, and other adventurers, all couldn’t help but gawk at Celia. All of them turned their eyes quickly away, as even an idiot could tell that the girl was underage. And, in this Universe… the punishment for going after someone underage is… well, not even the cruelest Demons would torture people at that level of tormented punishment…

  Midas: “And you, maid, who are you?” She asked with a raised eyebrow, feeling that this woman was familiar.

  Ria: “My name is Ria, Lady Midas.” She answered with a bow.

  Midas: “Ria? Maid, tell me… do you have someone else in your body, another soul, whose name just so happens to be Zia?” She replied with a serious tone, allowing only the maid to hear her words.

  Ria: “…”

  The maid looked like a complete copy of Ria, so it didn’t take much for Midas to confirm that this was her reincarnation. After ensuring this, the cheeky Goddess erased the memory of this talk from Ria’s mind.

  Ria: “(~z~)”

  Zia: “Ria, I don’t recall it, but this Midas woman did something to us…” She tactfully informed.

  Celia: “Ria, what’s wrong?” She asked with concern.

  Ria: “S-sorry… Lady Celia. I must be… just a bit tired.” She weakly answered, forcing a smile.

  Once she replied, Ria then directed a cold glare at Midas, ignoring the woman’s power. This, of course, confused Midas, as Ria should just feel tired, and have no recollection of what she just did…
