Pointing my fingers at her, I sneered, "and your punishment is to clean this place, you filthy woman!"
I laughed loudly as I approached her, I could see how her knees were trembling in fear, "you think that you can just run away from me and get away with it? Well, think again!" I grabbed her by the arm and pulled her close to me.
I could feel her warm breath on my cheek as I looked straight into her eyes, "do you understand?" saying that, I released her.
I couldn't completely practice my technique on her with Serenu around and my plan was to summon Zuri so that she could help me understand the technique even better.
(ZURI is the system fairy.)
I knew Serenu was a trustworthy person, but Zuri's presence would probably make everything more complicated and I'm sure he wouldn't understand it anyway.
And while I glanced at her destroyed clothes, I understood that Serenu probably did his job already, "let's go, Serenu." I spoke slowly in a calm tone.
"Your job is to fix everything here, understood?" I glared at her once more before walking along with Serenu.
She didn't say anything, just nervously nodded her head.
Those water drops that were falling from her eyes didn't even make me sympathise with her, knowing very well that at the end of the day, she was just a bully, to begin with.
As we walked out of the nasty-looking dungeons, I noticed how quiet Serenu was.
In the book, his personality was exactly like that, but I was not used to this type of person, someone who would just do as I told him to and follow me around no matter what.
But I was confident with one thing and that, he was a loyal servant to Rowen, but if he probably got to know that I wasn't his so-loved master, he would probably switch on me too. I had to keep my guard up no matter what.
"Serenu, tell Nari that I will meet her tomorrow alone on the hill of pain."
The names in this place were really weird and some of them could make you cringe, but I wasn't the one who wrote this shit in the first place.
"Nari?" He repeated, raising his tone, "the maid?" He asked again.
"Yes, the maid," I replied while trying to remove the dirt off my black shirt.
"Please, let me," Serenu insisted and leaned down to remove the dirt.
It was something I wasn't used to.
For a moment he reminded me of my mom, and a flashback of an old memory went through my head.
I was five years old back then and jumped into a puddle in the middle of the street. The street in my city was always crowded, but that day I remember how much joy it brought me to play with one after two days of never-ending rain.
My mom instead of yelling at me leaned closer to me and wiped the dirt off my cheek. Just by simply remembering it, I didn't even notice how a small corner of my lip lifted on its own.
"Master, are you okay?" Serenu's voice brought me back to reality.
"Ye-yes!" I stuttered thinking of how weird this scenario just must be.
"Then shall we...?"
pαndα,noνɐ1,сoМ "Yes," I nodded, moving my head to the side, 'that was awkward,' I thought as we began walking back to the mansion.
----
Once I was back inside my room, Serenu brought me a warm soup made by the cook, "this does look delicious," I smiled taking a look at the bowl and sat down on the soft bed.
I quickly needed to learn about my powers anyhow, I couldn't wait any longer, I needed answers and I was pretty sure that Zuri could help me with that.
"Zuri!" I called her name out loud hoping that she would show up.
A sudden spark of colourful and light dust appeared in front of me, "Oh! You're finally here!"
A small human figure of a few inches along with wings took form from that dust and then a smile appeared on her lips.
Her cute smile made me instantly feel relaxed, [So, why did you call me here?] She asked.
"I need your help, I don't know what to do," I told her honestly.
I couldn't completely explain it to her either because even I didn't know it myself, I still assumed that she knew how to help me.
[Okay, let me take a look at you.] She said, looking at me from top to bottom.
"What am I supposed to do?" I asked as she continued to examine my body.
I was happy that she was able to see me, so I was going to show her as much as possible.
I put my arms above my head and let her see my whole body. From my toes to the tips of my fingers, I was showing her everything.
After taking a look at my whole body, I was starting to feel a little uncomfortable now, 'why was she staring at me like that?' I wondered.
I tried to change the topic, "so, what can you do?" I asked her.
She thought for a moment, [Well, I can heal wounds quickly, I can also gather all the information that you need about people. But I can only do these things with certain people,] she answered slowly.
That took me by surprise... Not only was she helping me to wield that big-ass sword a couple of days ago, but she also had such powers... 'no, this is not,' I shook my head slightly.
"Zuri, can you tell me about the mirrored technique?" I asked her while rubbing my forehead.
She tilted her head and looked at me with her purple eyes in confusion, [Uuum,]
"A mirror technique," I explained to her.
She looked at me confused and asked, [It's something difficult for you to use on your own,]
"No, I've read about it in the book," I answered honestly, "but I didn't quite understand it completely."
Hearing me, she thought for a moment, then closed her eyes as if she was thinking hard about something. Meanwhile, I waited patiently for her answer as well.
After a minute or so, she opened her big purple eyes again and looked at me, she seemed worried, 'what's wrong?' I thought to myself.
[Not everything is in my database, but I will find it out for you and help you to learn how to use it on your own.] She nodded her little head and fixed her round glasses which was something that I only noticed now.
I was relieved that she would help me, but still... I was confused, 'Then doesn't that mean that she doesn't know?' I thought to myself.
I decided to ask her, "Why are you not able to help me?"
[There isn't enough information about it in my database,] she shrugged her shoulders and continued to explain, [as I said before, I can only gather information about people that I'm told to, those who I haven't met many times.]
I nodded my head. I didn't mind if she couldn't help me at all, but I was glad that she was going to try to find something for me.
Then I thought of something and hurriedly asked.
"That's great, now tell me, can you find some information about someone who might appear in the future?"
