457 Women’ Worries

“Congratulations, Fang!”

As we have been sitting earlier than one another, I could not assist however flip my head towards Ember and the others. They seem like they’re making a lot progress on their facet, with Fang and Igni already determining make their God Kingdoms.

On this facet, we have been additionally sitting down on the bottom, in a circle, and doing… nothing.

Nicely, it was speculated to be an open discussion board, an open dialogue, or a team-building exercise, however no person was prepared to step as much as be the primary one to share. At this charge, we might be sitting right here till nighttime with out making any progress!

“We’re not going anyplace like this…”

Fatima, unable to maintain quiet any longer, sighed exaggeratedly.

“I am going to go first, then. My worries…”

Though she needed to go first, she actually did not appear to have any type of fear. Nicely, at the very least I believed so.

“… I am nervous that I might keep as a half-machine even after I attain the ninth stage, and it scares me.”

“Fatima…”

She was nervous about that?

In comparison with when she was on the 1st stage, the place her physique was technically only a robotic placeholder, now that she’s on the seventh stage, she really has half a flesh-and-blood physique, with the opposite half being a machine.

As such, it was nonetheless laborious to say that she was now a “human.”

Nicely, for what purpose was she afraid of staying as a machine… Let’s simply say that her “elements” aren’t working as they need to in her present state.

It doesn’t matter what I say to her at this present junction, I doubt it could assist, so I simply smiled and patted her head gently, attempting to present her as a lot assist and affection as I may provide.

Fina felt emotional, as if she may utterly perceive what Fatima was feeling. Tears have been threatening to stream down the nook of her eyes, however she shortly wiped them away together with her fingers.

“Judy. Subsequent.”

And as if using the momentum, Judy began to voice her thoughts subsequent. Her speech was nonetheless slightly laborious to know, sloppy, and intermittent. Nonetheless, she may convey the thought behind her phrases clearly.

“Judy… Hate… Will. Womanizer. Judy. Defend. Grasp. Too gullible.”

Listening to her phrases, I may solely smile wryly. She was technically right in regards to the womanizer half, however I, for one, made certain that I had everybody’s consent first. Ahem, the contract, I imply, ahem.

Oh… Ahem, it seems to be like I used to be leaping to conclusions.

“Please ignore what I mentioned and proceed. You want my assist?”

Fina narrowed her eyes, interested in what I used to be simply saying earlier than in reply to her, however as if shedding curiosity, she shortly returned to what she was saying and continued explaining.

“Really, even earlier than that Succubus Lord, Namia, appeared, each of us knew we had succubus blood. The explanation for that’s that we got here from a sure city… inside a dungeon.”

“…?!”

I gasped after listening to her phrases.

So, she implies that she wasn’t a resident of this planet however relatively got here from a sure dungeon someplace? What is that this…?

“Oh, don’t be concerned about it. We’re not planning on invading this world or something. Our city inside that dungeon is small, in any case, with barely a dozen residents.”

“Wait…”

I raised a hand to cease Fina for some time. All this info is making my head harm. Initially, let’s set up the bullet factors.

Fina and Julia have been hiding the truth that they got here from a dungeon. The 2 of them have been additionally thought of by the Taming System as customers, giving them entry to it. Then, does that imply they’re nonetheless people?

“May that dungeon be… a protected haven?”

That was the one purpose I may consider. A dungeon {that a} choose few determined to cover in to keep away from persecution. It was slightly heartbreaking, fascinated by it, however properly, it is all prior to now already.

“Right.”

Fina nodded at my phrases with a smile. However her smile slowly pale away, turning into a tragic frown.

“Nonetheless, a decade in the past, it stopped being a protected hiding place.”

I listened intently, feeling that what she was about to say subsequent was a very powerful bit.

“Our enemies discovered the place and occupied it. The remainder of the city was captured and now sealed… Will, I need to ask your assist in eradicating their seals.”
