It is early in the morning, I woke up from the soft bed... with Mitsuki right next to me. Unfortunately, I had to sleep with clothes on because she wanted me to, or else I might catch a cold.

  She was very worried about st night, so she insisted that she stay with me. She values me more than I value her.

  She knows that too, but she kept on turning a blind eye to who I am. Mitsuki is a good girl, she shouldn't be with me.

  However, I won't let her go... she is my toy after all.

  I caressed her head with a smile, she squirmed around, trying to grab me. But I gave her the pillow to hug instead.

  I don't like people touching me, I don't want to feel their emotions and be empathetic.

  Getting up, I stretch myself a bit... I need a new trench coat. So I went and stood in the middle of the room, it was very wide.

  The hotel is bigger inside than it looks on the outside. As if this pce was a pocket dimension...

  Anyway, I spread my arms out.

  "I am Charlotte Silvi, Ruler of the World."

  Reverie began to leak out from my gem, forming a bck pool beneath my feet

  "Souls of the Void, Spirits of Infinity."

  And I sunk into the imagination and creativity of mankind, everywhere is pitch bck like the abyss it is.

  "The Bottomless Pool of Dreams and Aspirations, where all Ambition comes forth..."

  Rising out of the pool with a smile, I brushed my darkened hair with a faint smile, with my now bck eyes reflecting nothing.

  "The Wonders of Humanity are Beautiful..."

  The Reverie gathered up, forming a scarf as bck as the starless night flowing without wind.

  "Just as they are Horrific."

  My smile widens as a silver book forms in my hands. I threw it up, letting it float around me.

  "This is my Reverie."

  I grabbed the book, opening it to see the bnk pages.

  "Durable, fashionable, blue and silver trench coat."

  Words began to appear on the pages, so I closed the book, locking in the keywords. Names began to pop into my head...

  Hmm...

  "Victoria Live.", I spun around, wearing a silver trench coat with blue patterns... no, I don't like the wolf design on the back.

  "Valorus Murder Murder.", no, not this one. It's basically a piece of armor.

  "Regalia Version 3.", no, too apocalyptic.

  After ten more tries, I found something that fit me...

  A silvery grey trench coat with blue circuit lines, which all gather at the back to form an eight-pointed star in the back.

  Its name is Superior Illuminated Nanotech Cybernetic Lumen Artificially Integrated Reflection. Or S.I.N.C.L.A.I.R for... short... fucking dammit! It's her again!!

  How the fuck does she keep on haunting me?!

  But I like this design... even if it was made by Sincir... somehow...

  So I locked the design in, stabilizing its existence... and I dispelled Reverie. Now that is done, I took off the trench coat and threw it onto the chair.

  Heading over to the desk phone, I picked it up and called for room service.

  [Hello, how may I help you?], a man answered in Greek.

  I also began to speak in Greek, "I would like to have breakfast delivered to our room."

  [Of course, what would you like?]

  Picking up the menu, I scan over what this pce has.

  "Full course breakfast for three people."

  [Would you like wine or orange juice?]

  "I will take both."

  [Would you kindly remind me what room are you staying in?]

  "Room 405."

  [Thank you, ma'am. I hope you have a good day.]

  I ended the call and headed over to the window. Strangely, from the outside, this hotel looks like a perfect marble cube in a courtyard. Its name is Kyvos, which is Cube in Greek.

  It must be some sort of magic.

  Without further delving into engineering, taking out a cigarette, I began to smoke.

  Ha... I look at my left arm, the scars are brutal. Even after soaking it in Hope Dew, and even using Delusion, they wouldn't disappear.

  I definitely met my match yesterday.

  Which makes me wonder...

  Why the fuck did Surtr make something so powerful in the first pce? Does he want to cleave a star in half or something?

  I sighed, knowing that I wouldn't be able to do anything about Elderstahl. And from how unhinged it is, attacking me for just pulling out my phone, I don't know what to expect of Surtr. He is bound to be weird, given the three examples, me, Amelia, and Londinium.

  "Mhmm... Charlotte?", Mitsuki just woke up.

  I turned back, looking at her face, blinking the sleep away.

  "Good morning.", I smiled.

  "Good morning to you too!", she said cheerfully, then she looked at my left arm, "Are you alright?"

  "Yeah, everything is fine. You don't need to worry about it, this scar is pretty bad but manageable.", I walked over to her, with my hands behind my back in an attempt to hide the scars.

  "Today we have a schedule.", I said pyfully, "Since my sister's wedding is coming up in eight days, we will be finding her a wedding present. Then we will visit the memorial museum."

  "I thought you didn't like history?"

  "No, I don't.", I turned to the window while sitting down next to Mitsuki, "I want to know..."

  I closed my eyes.

  "Nevermind, I just want to go there for a visit.", I then stare at her, making her flinch.

  "Your eyes have become scarier, Charlotte.", she smiles wryly.

  Hmm, that's interesting.

  My eyes huh... I know my body best, it's just that I've grown and my eyes have become sharper and more intense.

  "Anyway, we will have a full-course Greek breakfast delivered to our room. I hope you will enjoy it.", I changed the topic.

  "Greek breakfast? I would love to try it!", as always, she was excited.

  "You should properly get your hopes down since compared to Japan or Mu, it isn't as savory as you used to."

  "It couldn't be that bad, the mous...moussa...kra..."

  "Moussaka.", I pronounced the word for her.

  "Yeah! That! It was pretty good!", she nodded.

  True, Greek food tastes milder than Asian food. Which fit my palette perfectly, what an odd coincidence.

  "You know, this past month I've been having more fun than I have my entire life! No more training, no more risking my life... I hope everyone is doing okay.", a sad smile dawned upon her, "I really missed my Demon Syer friends."

  Probably shouldn't tell her that a few of them died due to Avalon.

  "But other than that, I've never been able to rest easy.", she looked at me with a bright smile, her frosty blue eyes reflecting sincerity, "Lazing around all day long, and I get to practice what I like... it has been an amazing journey."

  "Really.", I am unable to rete to her.

  I can't understand how she is sad to part ways with her friends, but I can at least understand that she is happy with her freedom.

  Her story is not one of passing the torch, but letting it go.

  Knock knock

  Hmm, room service is here.

  I walked over to the door, opening it to let the staff push the cart in.

  "Here is your full-course breakfast for three people.", he smiled at me.

  "Please pce it over at the table.", I said as I pulled out my phone, I needed to call Enna—

  Huh, my channel is up again. And a personal letter from the CEO of Utube too...

  [Please, send her away. The General is stalking me.]

  So in the end it came to threats.

  I quickly make a post about my return.

  [My dear viewers, your princess has returned.

  But I won't be streaming for another ten days, since I am currently on a trip.]

  After posting on my community tab, I began calling Enna.

  "Enna, food is ready. Come to my room."

  [What are we eating?]

  "Greek breakfast."

  [I'll be there just a moment.]

  Just like that, I ended the call.

  Breakfast was quiet, because I enjoy eating in silence, letting me appreciate my food. Since they are using my money, they have to obey me.

  Scrabble eggs with tomato, feta cheese, yogurt with honey, spinach pie, bread with raisins in it, and a whole bowl of grapes. For me and Enna, wine, and for Mitsuki, orange juice.

  Overall a fairly sweet breakfast, especially with the yogurt, it was to my taste and I enjoyed it wholeheartedly. Mitsuki is a different story, she isn't used to this type of breakfast.

  "How was it?", I asked teasingly.

  "It was weird... the scrambled egg was delicious, I like the spinach pie but... eating what usually are desserts as part the main meal for me is a bit..."

  She is experiencing culture shock.

  While Enna has no opinion, she just eats and enjoys the meal for what it is.

  "Well then, I think it is time for me to find a present.", I took out my phone, "We will meet in front of Athens Memorial Museum."

  "We won't be going together?", Mitsuki frowned. She seemed disappointed.

  "No, this is something I want to do alone.", I closed my eyes, thinking about Deliah.

  A woman who pretends to care about others, a psychopath who always wears a mask. Because behind that mask of kindness and gentle nature, is nothing, a human without emotion.

  And she is good at hiding behind her mask.

  So what would be the best gift for someone who will never appreciate gifts?

  =0=0=

  Wandering down the shopping district, I can't decide what to give Deliah.

  I could simply buy a gold neckce and call it a day, but I don't want to. Deliah would probably forget about it sooner than ter.

  "Miss, you've been standing here for ten minutes.", the shopkeeper said, he has a silver beard but a bald head, and tired green eyes.

  "Quiet, I am thinking.", I scan over the trinkets, "Say, hypothetically speak, what would be the best gift for a person with no emotion?"

  "Hmm, how about some tea leaves?", he suggested, "Something that calms the mind should be of help."

  "Hmm, I'll think about it.", I picked up a marble bunny statue, "I'll buy this."

  "That would be five Euros."

  Quite cheap.

  I paid for it in cash and got going. Looking around the pce, I wonder what I should get for Deliah.

  Hmm... she is an artist so...

  I stopped at a pharmacy... Vestal Pharmacy. I get a feeling that I would find what I need here.

  Entering the store, I immediately found what I was looking for. With a smile, I picked up a bottle of cannabis oil.

  I took it over to the counter, "How much is one of these?"

  "That would be 30 Euros.", the pharmacist answered, she stared at me and back at the bottle, "Could I see your citizenship to confirm your age?"

  "Is a digital one okay?", I pulled out my phone, changing my year of birth and name on my American citizenship.

  "That is fine, so you are...", she stares at me. She first thought I was from Greece due to my silver hair and blue eyes.

  "American, I was a refugee that only recently came back.", I expined to her, then presented my citizenship to her.

  "Charlotte Sarco... age 22.", she looked up at me, "You look a bit older than that."

  "What can I say, I mature early.", I shrugged.

  "We usually look younger than our age.", she sighed, brushing her light grey hair, "I'm in my thirties and I still look like I just finished college."

  The pharmacist, despite being pretty chatty, had already put the bottle into a bag. I paid with cash, due to the sign of not accepting digital payment.

  "Thank you for your purchase."

  I nodded and left the pce. I got Deliah a present, cannabis oil.

  She is an artist, a person who can show what her reality is like to other people. Since I can't buy weed, cannabis oil is the next best thing. To stimute her imagination and all of that.

  Now... since I got what I want, where should I go next? There is still time before the meet-up.

  Hmm... looking at my left arm, I need something to cover it up. An opera glove would be nice, but I can't use my phone with a glove.

  I may be ambidextrous but I prefer using my left hand. People don't expect the left jab as much as the right punch.

  As I walked down the street, I sensed something odd... going past one corner, hiding behind it, and pretending to smoke by taking out my cigarette...

  In the corner of my left eye, I saw a woman wearing a white dress with golden vine patterns walking down the street. She wears a thin brown veil wrapping on her charcoal bck hair, that wraps around her waist and is secured with a harness belt. And her eyes, they are golden.

  That right there is a goddess... and I feel a familiar sense from her.

  Following that person is a taller woman wearing an aquamarine trench coat over a dark greenish blue suit, wearing ocean blue gloves and shoes, and her hair is even teal. A whole spectrum of blue, and she stands out a lot. With a lot of bags she was carrying.

  Then the goddess snapped her eyes at me and walked back... facing me.

  She stares at me with a gentle smile.

  "Smoking is illegal in Greece, young dy.", she gently reminded me. There is a pull from her...

  Right... I forgot about that.

  "I just returned, you see. I don't know about the ws that much.", not that I really care.

  "It will be a fine of 500 Euros, so put it away quickly for your own sake, child."

  "Fine...", I put my cigarette back in my pack, "But I am quite surprised to see you here... H-0."

  Her smile disappeared, and mine bloomed.

  "Or should I say, Hestia?"

  "Eliminate?", the tall woman in the back asked, her voice was low and almost in a hushed tone.

  "No, Outis... we won't be fighting in my homend. Child, have we met before?"

  "No, not really.", I closed my eyes and turned my back on her, "Just someone who knows a little too much about the world."

  I don't want to fight her here, I don't want to fight anyone at all after Elderstahl. And... I don't want to have trouble. Crazy, right?

  "Should we pursue her?", I can hear Outis asking.

  "No, that would be too troublesome for us. For now... let's keep an eye on her."

  Try as you may, I already know your face, your voice, your scent... just what I need for Fallen Starlight to target you. Hestia, the Benevolent Goddess of the Hearth, the Eldest and Youngest of the Olympian...

  Many will mourn your loss, for you are a kind-hearted being. Even if you are the enemy who used my title in vain.

  What will you do in the face of someone who hates the divine? Someone like me?

  I will be watching your actions, so I can Judge you with my Vision of Justice.
