Chapter 75: Familiarity

"Why I have this familiar feeling? Who is her? She may be looking like me. But, it was not that simple... At all..."

Kuso had run away from the place as fast as he could.

He never thought that he would get discovered this fast which led her to remark,

"So... This is what Albedo said that she could even sense someone from the other dimension if she wants. It's scary!"

However, there was a system that resembling the guy which was her in her male self, showed up which freaked her out.

"Kyaa!!"

"Kyaa? Since when you are becoming a girl?" The system commented in a smudgy face which led Kuso to say,

"Well... accidental habit. Don't mind me. Anyways, did you took the whole picture of that already?" 

"All taken. By the way, did you get spotted?"

"Yes, I'm. I think it was unsafe for now. Can we reverse it and do something different... OOKH!!"

#System Rule Three broken: Revealing thyself at the past or future. 

#Punishment: Death.

The system was choking the goddess who was the one who was being nice with it before. But, since the girl had disobeyed the rules. Then it shall be upheld. 

She was being choked up as she tried to reap,

"It.... is.... me... Ku...So... St...op... It!!"

But the system did not hear her. It led her to get knocked out slowly and slowly...

Bruk!

The girl had been fallen down unconscious on the floor which led the System to report,

"Reporting in, Anna. Target Annihilate...."

"GLACIER IMPACT!"

Blast!

The male voice of the prime minister known as Duran had attacked the system as it replied in a distorted tone that could lead everyone to confused in a distortion tone,

#Mission Accomplished. 

"DONT LET IT GO!" 

Albedo in the past had hurled her broadsword to the shadow. But it was running away as Kuso tried to crawl in a pain on her neck. Then, she looked at the prime minister and the woman who was attacked her earlier.

He asked them, "W...why did... you... save... me...?"

"Save your breath first, Lady. Everyone in this castle who had been attacked here was our responsibility. Your safety first!" Duran answered her and then, he pointed to the past-time goddess to heal the current goddess.

She moved quickly as the man asked towards the girl who was on the verge of death.

She used her healing magic to recover Kuso's stamina. Slowly but sure... Her broken neck had been fixed as the one that choked her was her broken throat. 

Kuso took a deep breath as a sign of returned alive in a meantime. Which led the prime minister to react, "Phew. Glad she was able to get saved!"

"As you wish, Lord Duran. I don't know why do you save the intruder. But, since she had been visible now. It means that something had happened to her. Anyways..."

"There is no need to talk more about in this place. Let's move to my office. Servants! Bring this lady together with us."

"Sorry to trouble you, I screwed myself here," Kuso answered the man and then, he answered her shortly as they entered the secret room after the past Albedo had clapped her hands twice.

They had arrived. In the place where it was resembling the study room with a luxurious interior on it. And the most important part was privacy as Duran stated,

"Nobody could be able to find this out. Anyways. Both Albedo and you were looked the same. Who are you exactly? And why are you coming to our palace?"

Kuso had her mental prepared as she had known that the man would ask her so. It led her to answer,

"I'm Kuso Amakusa from the year 1766. And you guessed it spot on that this body is Albedos. We have exchanged the body as the part of the reincarnation rule that I will use her body in exchange for my easier access to the magical prowess of her and... thanks to my body that was not designed for fights.."

"Is body transferring possible?" Duran asked the past Albedo and she answered him as she said,

"As the goddess or god. It's easy to give away the privilege of them to the mortal. But, they have to give the body instead. So, rather than say it as possible or not. I would say it as compulsory instead."

"Yea. As you documented in the system, Albedo." Kuso commented on her remark and then, Kuso had commanded the system menu shortly after he exclaimed so. As she stated,

"Document."

#To Kuso: this is why I'm telling you not to unlock the root. There is a bug that led my system to connect to my twin sister. Hope you are safe and don't forget to contact my past to help you with things. I will find another workaround to retrieve you out from the past. Albedo.

"Hmm..." Kuso reacted and then, for the goddess. It's easy to know what happened exactly as she stated,

"I don't know what my future did. But it appears that your connection to your current timeline is being cut in a moment of your verge of death." The past Albedo answered her firmly.

Kuso was signed in disappointment. But, the man knew that they shouldn't ask it further. Rather, they should find the solution instead which led Duran to say,

"We can try to find anything about your need. But, we need to know what happened in the future. Are those slums were safe?"

Kuso did not know how to answer the man in front of her. It led her to say,

"I don't know much..."

Then... She was thinking if it was the place that was long abandoned. But, she wished not to talk about it which led the past Albedo to say,

"I can figure out what's on your mind almost immediately. Please tell me the truth before I'm starting to guess one by one."

Of course, Kuso knows it better than anyone that she could read her mind easily. But, she was putting a strong resolute as the result of her own promise for not talking about the future stuff in the past. Which led her to reply,

"Even if I know about it. Then I prefer not to talk about that as well as it could change the future crazily."

"But if we can change it into a better place. Then why not? It's fine to tell us, Lady Kuso." The man requested her for the talk about the current time that she had faced.

But, she was well aware that it was not the thing that they should be the talk of. Which led her to say,

"I can help for some empire correction. But not much, changing the future from the past is a serious crime. So... Maybe I will tell you guys some about this and I think... It's safe to talk."

"What was that?" Duran questioned the goddess from the present time which led her to answer,

"This place will become the abandoned cathedral. I have been taking some pictures. But unfortunately that the system is betraying..."

"It's fine, I got the picture too from your mind. Well... That was nasty." Albedo from the past interrupted her testify as she was about to explain the difference between the castle in the past and in the future. 

"Can you explain by the Nasty means?" Duran questioned the past Albedo which led her to answer,

"It's totally abandoned. Can you tell me what happened there, Kuso?" As she questioned Kuso shortly after she answered the man.

Kuso replied calmly,

"To be honest. I did not know much stuff apart of this Cathedral. You know, I was getting reincarnated to this world and then, many fucked up things happened here."

"Makes sense. We have a hard time as well dealing with the Technoknights, and Albedo was about to summon her friends too. How do you think? Lady Kuso?" Duran asked Kuso friendlily as he started to trust her. Then, Kuso answered him firmly.

"If it's about dealing with the Technoknights, then I can help. But I can't guarantee that we will win." 

"How much percentage you think that we can have for the winning chance of defeating Technoknights?" The prime minister questioned her which led the goddess to shook her head. Then, she answered the man as she said,

"To be honest... The winning chance of the battle is only ten percent."
