Chapter 81: Ten Percent Chance

"Ten percent?"

Both past Albedo and Duran were shocked by her statement. Thus, Kuso was stating a fact about that. She can't keep her promise out which led her to state so. However, she started her reasoning.

"I was living in a body where it had hemophilia issue. Single bleed could cause me to get killed easily. This is why I'm not quite accustomed to fights although that I could use some martial arts. But, being able to use martial arts doesn't mean that you will be good in a fight."

"My future would be able to cope with that weakness." Albedo replied to Kuso confidently which led her to question,

"Are you sure about it? When I nosebleed, I will end to get hospitalized. No matter the kind of injury I get. I will get ended to be hospitalized instead."

"I don't know how fatal is it. But let the physical battle be between us. We just need your help for telling us the future stuff. And we can make some improvisation without even making a paradox on it."

"It will be, Lord Duran." Albedo in the past reminded him which led Kuso to nod and continued,

"True. I wish I can do this without paradox. But many things will be changed. Good or bad. But a lot and it will cause confusion in within of the stuff."

Thus, Kuso explained to Duran the possible impact by saying.

"Let's treat timeline as the git subversion code. And your timeline is branch A and I came from Branch B. If I'm pulling my branch to your branch. Then it means that it will be merged. If it's all merged then all fine. But how about if all of your codes being conflicted? Did you think about that before? That's the biggest factor why the success chance is only ten percent."

Duran stumbled for a while when Kuso explained so. Thus, the past Albedo explained to him.

"She used some modern terms that I can understand somehow. She refers to the conflicting time which we always called it as a time paradox."

"Worst case scenario, Albedo. If we have to do it. Then we should do it." Kuso closed her statement by saying so which led Duran to nod and replied to her,

"Thank you for the advice, time traveler. But... Can you go back to your world with your current condition?"

"Unfortunately. The system had betrayed me and now, I'm stuck at this timeline. Maybe I can help some bit of stuff while I'm picturing everything here and..."

"I can do some workaround as a goddess, Kuso. Do you want to try it out?" Albedo asked her abruptly before she continued to say something. It led Kuso to question her,

"Do you know how to revert me to my current timeline?"

"Just like git branching. Rebase. Or I can say it with common sense as a paradox."

Kuso sighed, so do Albedo who sighed as well. It wasn't like that both of them wanted to do it. But... It just there was no more chance but to do that. Still... They won't have their time to think much anymore as Duran stated.

"Two Technoknights will come in within three days to this empire. That's what I got from the pieces of information through my dad and the officials in the slums..."

"We are running out of time huh..." Kuso remarked when she heard that statement from Duran. Then, she continued.

"If time paradox is unavoidable like rebasing someone's code or merging someone's code across of branches. Then let's do it! But... Do note that everything we do here will affect the future. I don't want to know what happened in the future later, but you guys have to be safe!"

"You too, Kuso." Albedo and Duran replied to her in honor. Then, Duran clicked his right hand which led both of them had returned to the palace. Thus, he tasked the past Albedo by saying.

"Call all of the advisers and the generals. You were right. My father had died. And I have to proceed with what my father wanted to do. For Kuso, I owe you one for reminding me that indirectly to me. Please become my strategic adviser when you are here. Can you?"

"I don't mind. But, you need to know that anything happened that I will tell you later. Will caused a massive paradox. Are you ready for that..."

"You don't have to worry about it!"

Two futuristic clothed male and female with their modern eyeglass were coming along with someone who Kuso knows. It led Duran to pull his blade from the back at his throne. And with Kuso who pulled her carbon cane that was being returned by Duran earlier.

"Drop the formalities, Kuso Amakusa, Duran Sach." 

It was from a majestic tone of a woman who had come. Thus, Kuso had shivered into fear as she had realized something. However, Duran stated to her calmly,

"Don't worry, I got your back!*"

"Ara ara!! We came here not for war. But..."

"DO NOT LISTEN TO THAT WOMAN!"

Point of view had changed to Kuso's side as he murmured...

Crap.

That...

It was the exact words I heard from Albedo in my timeline directly. 

DO NOT LISTEN TO THAT WOMAN.

It was an exact tone. 

But... Her dominance and intimidation are too insane. It was an intimidation level that could suppress someone easily.

Her glance... Her outfit... It was all resembling her true dominance as a goddess of war. And two Technoknights in front of her are the ones that I have to wary of. 

But how? How I can outsmart her?

With that speck of thoughts showered on Kuso's mind. She shattered with that intimidation alone. Kuso tried to grip with his composure. But... The woman commented,

"You are trying too hard, time traveler. How about we are relaxing for a while... And talking about the alliance in between of us."

"There is no room of discussion in between of us, Anna. You are a goddess of war and you know what you are talking about. Don't disrupt my citizens in slums!" Duran replied to her in a stern tone which led that woman to comment.

"You are the one who has the Magica gifted from the goddess of war. How could you defy them? Neither me nor Albedo?"

"It was me the one who asked him not to give it to you, psychopath!" Albedo yelled to that woman as she gestured something to ask Kuso to do stuff for her. 

Her gesture was shoving at the left and right which means that Kuso had to leave this place. That woman was too dangerous for her!

"I know my sister's true capability. Don't get trapped. Leave it to us!"

"How about you let that time traveler judge it herself. For who she should side of." Anna, the woman wearing a highness cloth in a snow-white color stated to her as she could read someone's mind as well. Thus, it led Kuso to say,

"This empire is closed for the service. You shall get out and we aren't inviting guests here!"

In a high tension situation. It was the words that blurted from Kuso. However, everyone there tried not to laugh which led Albedo to comment snarkily as she looked at Kuso,

"What the hell you are talking about? Do you think this is a fast-food company? I know you are actually coming from the far future. not 1766 or something. But please. We are not opening fast food shop. So, don't talk about it!"

"Nah. I'm not kidding about it."

When Kuso stated so, she moved towards the front of Albedo. And faced Anna face to face which led Anna to comment,

"At a glance. I thought that you are a scaredy-cat. But you are..."

Both the Technoknights were about to pull their own swords. But, Anna stopped them and she looked at Kuso. She continued.

"But it was ended that..."

Whip!! Plak!!

Both Albedo and Duran looked at her back in a dumbstruck expression. To them, this was a pure gender crime. However, Kuso reacted in a stern tone.

"I don't care if you are a woman, a goddess, monster, my mom, or whatever. But if you are wrong. Then you will get spanked. However, if you did not listen. Then it's your face that I will spank!"

Plak!!

She did the other attack by using her carbon cane which led the woman in front of her to have a mark of the cane on her left and right cheek.

"Let me repeat again. You are unwelcomed, bitch!"
