Chapter 23: Introdu.

  (*Celia’s POV*)

  Girl Who Popped Out of Nowhere: “My name is Viva, and I am a Princess of Eloateilian.” She said with a curtsy.

  Celia: “Oh? It’s a pleasure to meet a fellow Princess, Lady Viva.” I say with a curtsy of my own.

  Viva: “Apologies for the te introdu, and listening in on your versation. But I assure you that it was food reason.” She said with a remorseful tone.

  Ria: “What kind of reason? Whatever it is, I am more ied in how you mao appear invisible to even me.” She said with a curious tone.

  Viva: “Queen Yona adopting a child, wasn’t something that we expected, nor something that she ever mentioo my mother. As such, she requested of me to make sure that Yona wasn’t being trolled.” She answered.

  Celia: “I see, but you dodged Ria’s question.” I say.

  Viva: “It’s just a little secret, I am sorry but I ot expin my method to any of you.” She replied.

  Celia: “Fine, but you mentioned a vessel, right?” I ask.

  Viva: “Yes, I did. You see, there is a friend of mihat is attending this academy. I was happy to be able to meet up with her after so long, but she isn’t the person that I onew anymore.” She replied.

  Celia: “You want us to kill someone, and use their body for Mena, just because you aren’t friends with her anymore?” I ask with a raised eyebrow.

  Viva: “Goddess no. It’s just that she has been possessed by an evil demon. I’ve already checked, her soul is no longer with her body. She has long since been dead, and that evil demon is parading around in her body, living out her life.” She said with a sad tone and expression.

  Looking at Ria, she gave me a nod. Ah, so Viva is telling the truth, I see. I o make sure not to abuse Ria’s ability to just peek into anyone’s mind…

  Celia: “So? How do we go about this?” I ask.

  Viva: “Oh, I already have her imprisoned within my estate at this academy. We just have to go there and then we do the s. Though, are any of you capable of doing such a thing?” She replied.

  Celia: “Sorta? Anyway, I do know someone who help with that. Ria, you…” I say before my words were cut off.

  Despite me not even finishing my request, Ria had teleported away and then teleported back with Nia in tht… I fot that she see into the future. Wait… if she do that, then why was she surprised about Viva?

  Ria: “She wasn’t involved iure I saw, Celia. These things happen sometimes.” She answered in my head.

  Ah, so that’s what happened. I guess that it’s good to ly know what ead every day will bring you. Something like that would actually drive me insane…

  Nia: “Ria already expined everything to me, shall we depart right away?” She asked.

  Viva: “That would be best, but will you be able to separate their souls?” She asked with a raised eyebrow.

  Nia: “Don’t go around telling people this, but I am Death Goddess. Souls are straight up in my job description.” She replied with a proud tone and expression.

  Viva: “…Lady Celia, how many Goddesses do you even know?” She asked with spiral eyes.

  Celia: “Hm? Ah, not that many in the grand scheme of things.” I reply with a shrug.

  Viva seemed dumbfounded, but only for a few minutes. After she regained her calm, she guided us to her estate. It was nowhere near as fand modern as our estate, but it was still pretty ni the end.

  She then led us to where she was keeping the evil demon. The girl was ed to the wall in the basement, but she didn’t really look like she cared at all.

  Evil Demon: “And? Who have yht this time? You already know the oute, your friend is gone, just kill me already. I am getting bored.” She said with a nont tone.

  Nia: “Any st words? I’ll have you know, I am a Death Goddess, so I easily deal with your soul.” She asked.

  Evil Demon: “Why not just kill me? I am fused. If you release my soul, you will have to fight me in my spiritual form. And I will not be going down without a fight.” She asked with a raised eyebrow.

  Mena: “You’ll have to fight her? This might be too much work just to get a vessel…” She said with an uone.

  Celia: “It’s fine. We’ve dohis before already.” I reply with a shrug.

  Viva: “You have!? Lady Celia, I’ve barely known you for a few minutes, and I think that I’ve already found out why Yona adopted you as her daughter.” She said with a sigh.

  Really? I feel like there are more reasons why Yona did that than Viva thinks there are… Ah, I’ll just let her figure the rest out on her own. It’s more funny that way.

  Doing as she did before with Amelie and Lia, she separated the evil demon’s soul from the vessel it took over. You see, this is where I miscalcuted…

  The demon was strong, very, very strong. Strohan both Yooni and that other evil demon bihe fight happened almost instantly, and all of us were pushed to our limits.

  Mena: “Ah! I khat this was a bad idea!” She excimed.

  Celia: “Ria! Go get Yona and Solia! We heir help with this one!” I yell.

  Ria: “I ’t leave you all aloo fight her. I’ve already tacted them, we just have to keep fighting her until they show up.” She replied with a grunt after blog a strike from the demon.

  Celia: “Wait… aren’t you strohan her?” I ask after dodging a strike as well.

  Ria: “I am, but I will expin it to you ter.” She replied.

  Ruina: “I’ll expin it for you, Celia! Ria is very powerful, yes, and she easily one-shot this demon. But she ot do so.” She said in my head.

  Celia: “Huh? Why not?” I ask in my head.

  Ruina: “She mostly do as she pleases, but she ot do anything that drastically ges the course of history. This demon is a key part of it, so she ot use her full force, or even kill her for us.” She expined.

  Well shit… I really should have thought this through before I went along with Viva’s pn… Yada yada, Viva is cute, so I five her. You already know this song and danow we just have to deal with this demon until our stro members show up…
