《Gate keeper》Chapter 29 looking for answers
Advertisement
Yuki was startled when she realized she was no longer standing next to Setsuna. Mist seemed to be everywhere she could see her eyes were shocked because she had just remembered stepping inside the mansion.
"I see you've found me on your own." (Lin)
"Wait who are you and where'd you bring me." (Yuki)
"To be correct you called my soul here to your mental space. This place here isn't real in the outside world but it's real in your mind. Too much explaining to do short version and humans call it mind scape. Things here are how you want them. They depend on your mood. So let's see you called my soul here for answers." (Lin)
"Who are you." (Yuki)
"Hm, you know me by another name, but I prefer Lin." (Lin)
"What are you." (Yuki)
"Good question are you asking my soul or are you asking the question because your unsure of your race. You know we could talk in circle if you want these two answers." (Lin)
"Are you the one that left me her memories." (Yuki)
"Yep you can say that though I couldn't control that part. Nor the archives completely you girls have access to it, I did give it away to my lover too. But I don't know if she's using it. Being kind is a virtue Hina but at the same time it's poison. See where that led you last time." (Lin)
"I only wanted to protect Aki." (Yuki)
"Sure you did. No, your no longer Hina. Your Yuki I understand that but carrying over your past values in life in the realms to this life was what got you into this mess in the first place. Kinda ironic right. The past you not me as you the human princess Hina, listened to the god of that heaven yet look where you led yourself in this life." (Lin)
"What has that got to do with anything." (Yuki)
"You're personality is finally showing. I guess your sisterly love is the bond that holds the current you here. My only advice is that kindness and carelessness of using it then in the realms won't work here. This is like Earth but many times more dangerous since there's other races and many hidden threats. But like Earth, Iris too has a similar threat. Ghosts who possess the ability to latch and control the living as they please." (Lin)

"You're saying I should be wary of those monsters that don't even look human anymore. How are they a threat when they can't touch a physical body." (Yuki)
"They're more threats than you think. But the hidden danger I mentioned isn't them." (Lin)
"Why don't you go away." (Yuki)
"You're the one that called me here to your mind scape not the other way around. Also it'll probably be only a few seconds for you in the outside world." (Lin)
Yuki blinked as she stared at her right to see Setsuna giving her a funny look.
"Are you ok." (Setsuna)
"No fine." (Yuki)
'Aside from sealing me inside your mind scape.' (Lin)
'Oh shut it Lin, you never did answer my question about your race.' (Yuki)
'That's easy I was a human on Earth as for my soul no clue. Rem says I was abnormal cause even she couldn't tell. Plus I split so many times in those dreams. One thing I'm sure about the 4 of you is that you inherited those racial traits so you girls can change it at will.' (Lin)
(yep mc just ignored important fact that Lin threw her right there.)
"Setsuna, so what did you get from Lin after her death." (Yuki)
"Most of her knowledge, emotions and memories. How to use the archives. Her weapons storage is let's just say demonic to the point you'd have a normal human want to bang their head at all the treasures inside and the uses." (Setsuna)
'Ah I almost forgot about Ling Yue's problem when she was Blade's sister. You two might want to know this cause this might actually help you survive if you two fight her by accident.' (Lin)
Setsuna flinched when she heard Lin's voice. (She expects a dead person not to do telepathy to others.) Even Yuki straighten herself in her chair that she was sitting at the living room.
'Her heart had issues in more ways than one though she was a half demon and a goddess. It was more she couldn't feel emotions too much or else her heart would be in pain. So she kinda ripped out her heart and sealed it off. Most of the gods and goddesses labeled it as a forbidden item. You know typical but yea her expressions don't show much. Sure she could feel emotions afterwards but let's say it made her unable to express her emotions on her face.' (Lin)

Both Setsuna and Yuki cringed hearing about Ling Yue. After all Yuki was the one that asked for information about the other two but Lin only mentioned Ling Yue because they knew Hima already. That was a pointless one to ask.
"Wait so care to explain why I and you could hear the voice of the deceased Lin." (Setsuna)
Her eyes gleamed as Yuki said sorry.
"Fine ask away any questions you want now Hina." (Setsuna)
"It's Yuki. Oh never mind which ever your more comfortable using. I wanted to ask you how the heck does a freaking fallen angel turn into a devil demon in the first place." (Yuki)
"Oh that's your question. First of all I had 16 pairs of wings. Second of all I turned into a fallen angel when I killed the god of the ruling heaven. Third of all I killed the devil next which was gonna make me turn to a demon. But then I was sealed before he died, making my process of turning into a demon stalled or as humans called it in a frozen state or process. Whichever one works." (Setsuna)
Yuki eyed her why are you talking about it as if it's not your problem we're talking about you.
"Next question when you revived me as Hina from the statue you didn't seem to completely turned into a demon yet." (Yuki)
"I told you it was stalled like best way to describe it is a lag." (Setsuna)
"But when you revived Hima you turned into a devil demon there and then." (Yuki)
"It caught up to me." (Setsuna)
She wanted to retort that's not common sense. But didn't say anything because she mine she couldn't say it or Setsuna would down her with all the reasons why it was possible.
"Look so say you as Hina had 4 pairs of wings only. I had 16. I sealed them and only showed 5 pairs of wings. 12 pairs and up don't turn into a normal demon, after they turn to a fallen angel then a demon. They end up as powerful devils. Well that's if you had paid attention to the history after our last war. Oh wait you idiotic sisters died." (Setsuna)
Yuki only gave a bitter smile at Setsuna's last retort but didn't say anything. Hina did die from Setsuna's accidentally stab after Hima was revived cause she had charged her. And before that they as her sisters didn't reincarnate. To be more accurate they couldn't move on since they as sisters didn't want to leave the others behind.
"So sister care to explain about Lin." (Setsuna)
Instead Setsuna stared at her like a ferocious animal about to pounce if she answered wrong. So she had to explain from start to finish what happened earlier.
"Oh. Never mind then. Though that means we could change our race at will right." (Setsuna)
Her eyes shined like a child getting a new toy. Even Yuki couldn't help but back up into her chair as if she didn't know this person.
"Wait you said you had access to her archives and her weaponry." (Yuki)
"Uh, no. (Sarcastic) Duh you idiot." (Setsuna)
'Her meaning is obvious she's mocking you as if saying if I could then wouldn't you also sister. Are you stupid. That's where she's getting at.' (Lin)
Yuki's mouth couldn't help but twitch into a cold smile.
"Why don't we take this spar outside your spear skills against my halberd. How's that sound." (Yuki)

King of Fools : Silver Tongue
A certain trickster spirit was fond of saying, 'me and my big fat mouth'. That could be Jasper Stone's motto. There's never been a situation in his life he didn't make worse by opening his mouth, because when he does, ridiculous amounts of trash-talk and overconfidence just spills out. He's never managed to do anything with his wits -- but when the God of Fools tosses him into another world for amusement's sake, he'll need to put them to use. Because there are bandits, dragons, and cultists out there -- none of whom appreciate Jasper's particular gift for insults. --Cover by the inimitable Vitaly S Alexius.

Its not easy being green. Or any other color. Life's just kinda shit in general. At least it is for a goblin trying to survive on their own. I'll admit I've burned a few bridges, but in my defense, they were oh so flammable, and burned beautifuly. At any rate, I'm an exile now, scraping by in human lands, where pitchforks and torches are always just around the corner. I'd look for a better life, but I've got my hands full just staying alive when any random asshole could turn out to be a retired adventurer strong enough to hold ten bulls above their head with one hand tied behind their back. How did they pull that bullshit anyway?
