Chapter 504: A Talk with the Goddess of Chaos

Aah―, I wonder what this feeling is…

I felt as if my body was being lifted and liberated from the weight that had been pressing down on me.

Did I slowly ascend from the dark seabed towards the surface? Or from the bottom of a gravity well, towards the weightless space?

Anyway, I felt liberated and exhilarated. It was a strange mixture of the two.

Where am I in the first place?

I couldn’t see anything in here. I was in pitch darkness.

What have I been doing all this time?

I feel like I’ve been asleep for a very long time. However, I didn’t feel dull from sleeping for too long. On the contrary, my whole body feels light, although I am aware that I am a bit drowsy.

「Hey, I’d like to have a little talk, have you woke up yet Sleepy-head-san?」

『Eh?』

While I was in a daze, I heard a woman’s voice out of nowhere. It was a strangely sexy and naughty voice.

Moreover, it sounds familiar.

『Goddess of Chaos, -sama?』

「I just thought I’d tell you a few things before you fully wake up」

It was the Goddess of Chaos. I couldn’t see her, but there was no way I could forget her voice.

「First, I’m going to unseal some of your memories」

『Eh? Really?』

She suddenly said that to me. But wouldn’t I go crazy if my memories came back?

「It seems that you were very concerned about your lack of memory, and leaving this sealed would have negative effects on you」

『What kind of negative effects?』

「When you have a memory that you can’t seem to remember, you can’t help but be curious and try to remember it somehow, right?」

『Yeah, certainly』

That may stimulate the unsealing of some memories in an unexpected part. As a result, there is a possibility that the sealing of other memories will also be affected.

「You don’t want to go crazy like the Fanatics, do you?」

The Fanatics said something like that. They say that it is dangerous to have a human soul in the body of a sword. Well, I can kind of understand that, and it also reminds me of the Fanatics’ madness. I certainly didn’t want to be like that.

「So, I decided to unseal not all of them, but the ones that I think can be returned at this point. So, shall we get started then」

『Eh? Wai―』

Before I could reply to the Goddess, my mind was flooded with various memories.

『Guh…』

It’s an indescribable feeling. It doesn’t hurt, but it’s weird. I wonder what it is. It’s like the moment when I cannibalized the fanatics. Well, this is somewhat better though.

What came back to me were the memories of when I was a human and when I was hit by a car. The identity of the three mysterious women who had remained in a corner of my memory. And the memory of the scene where my memory was sealed by the three Goddesses.

It’s not like all of my memories had returned, but I remember the main part of what I was most curious about. It was the reason why I can’t remember anything.

Well, it also brought back some humiliating memories though. It was about the shaming play by the Goddess…

It was just an embarrassing memory for me, as I don’t have any special sexual preferences.

「What’s wrong?」

『N-no, it’s nothing. Just because I’ve regained some of my memories, is it okay for me to continue to act as before after I wake up?』

「Yeah, rest assured」

Then, I should collect more magic stones for Fenrir huh

「But still… you were hit by a car while trying to save a stranger’s child and agreed to be transferred to help a dying child in this world… You must really like kids huh」

『I don’t like the way you say that! It makes me sounds like a lolicon!』

「Ufufu, that was just a joke. Well, I think it’s time huh?」

『?』

「It’s time for you to wake up」

『So, the repairs are done?』

Come to think of it, it’s been a long time since I’ve been so clearly awake. That is, not since I left Fran in front of the pedestal. And yet, it didn’t feel like an instant. I know I’ve been asleep for a long time. Maybe that’s why I think it’s been so long.

「Ufufu, say hi to the black cat-chan too. Well then, have a good chaos」

That’s the second time I’ve heard that! Is that the Goddess of Chaos’ signature line huh?

〈60 seconds left until the individual named Master is to be fully awakened〉

『Hmm?』

When I thought the presence of the Goddess of Chaos had gone, I heard a strange voice, inorganic but also warm. I think I’ve heard this voice before…

Uuummm…

『Ah! Announcer-san!』

〈Yes〉

『Eh? You can talk?』

〈Conversation is possible for now only. But it will soon return to normal. Right now, I was borrowing power as an emergency measure when the main personality was dormant〉

『Hmm? Main personality?』

Do you mean me? So, while I’m asleep, the power I normally use is given to Announcer-san allowing her to have a little talk with me for now?

〈By replacing the individual named Master, the provisional named Announcer will be deprived. So, before that… Master, you have my thanks once again〉

『Eh?』

〈Once again, I have the opportunity to wield power for the benefit of my registered wielder〉

『But, you will be deprived right?… That means you’re going asleep just like before…』

〈In the future, the probability that the Provisional named Announcer will regain its power with Fenrir is 77%. Also, some of its blocked privileges have been restored〉

『In other words, you have recovered a little huh?』

〈Yes. By assimilating and absorbing the virtual personality of the Discarded Divine Sword, I have regained some of my power, which had been reserved only for necessary calculation before〉

Umm, did my cannibalizing of the Fanatics work out for the better then?

〈It’s time〉

『Announcer-san! When I had restored Fenrir’s power, I’ll bring you back too! I’ll do my best!』

〈Thank you――〉

Then a change came to my vision.

A ray of light shone into my blackened vision, and as if it had exploded, it swelled and dispelled the darkness.

I was able to look directly at it because I don’t have a retina. Well, if I had been a normal creature, I would surely have damaged my eyes, wouldn’t I?

The color returns.

What I saw was the blue of the sky and the green of the plains.

And a girl is standing in the middle of it.

Black hair, healthy skin, a body without unevenness, distinctive black cat ears, a cat tail, and big eyes showing her determined will.

『…Fran』

「Master?」
