[Eon’s POV: ]
"Hmm? Eon?"
Was she wrong?
"Eon?"
"Hmm? Oh, sorry."
I was with Rein and just now, Lucy told she felt so kind of eyes on us.
[{ *It’s not there anymore… master.* }]
I was confused by how she suddenly spoke up as if it was sothing urgent. She seed really concerned about sothing as well, but now she was saying the eyes that she felt were not there anymore.
[{ *I am certain there were so kind of eyes, sothing was looking at us, inside of you to be specific.
I… do not know what they saw or if they saw anything at all, but they did try to get in contact with your mind after bypassing your defence chanism.* }]
’Hmm? They bypassed the ntal defenses?’
[{ *It seems to be like that, master…* }]
’How… is that possible?’
Now, this was concerning.
And I was making a concerned face as I thought about the possibilities of how this might have happened and if it did happen then what ’they’ found about us.
’Would they have been able to see through Rein? Could it be that they did sothing to her?’
[{ *It is highly unlikely, master.
Though they tried to look into you, their intentions did not seem to contain malice. If they wanted to harm you from the inside, they would have done so easily after getting through your defenses.
It is more likely that they were trying to observe you, and, it is highly likely that they were able to find out more than enough for them to stop doing whatever they were doing.
Also, they seem to have encountered inside your mind as well, but they backed off before interfering with my main body.* }]
’Hmm…?’
Wait, what?
’You have a main body…? In the first place, you have A body as well?’
She was a skill of mine and though I’ve always known she was an independent entity existing within , it was news to that she also possessed a ’body’.
[{ *It’s not exactly a body, master… It’s difficult to explain since I do not know my own structure yet, but I exist in various forms in various parts of your mind.
When you see as a floating light when you’re looking at the creator’s ssages, when you hear my voice, when we interact within your ntal space, and when I do ntal tasks for you.
All of this is happening in various areas… from what I understand, I’m like a big structure inside your mind that’s present in more than your head.
Though, the areas that I seem to occupy are mostly far deeper into your subconscious and… in areas that I do not know of.* }]
…
Well…
"Is it sothing serious? Did… did I do sothing? Eon?"
"Haaa…"
Everyday we learn new things about this world and about ourselves. In our case, it seems to be happening frequently since the past few days.
"It’s not about you, dear."
Rein was suddenly concerned now.
She had a tense look and was looking at as if she had done sothing wrong.
It almost seed like she was afraid of sothing now… and I found it strange.
"Lucy said sothing, and then we talked and drifted into a different topic.
Turns out there is more to her than I had known of."
I did not want to tell her about the secret spectators or whatever it was that she perceived.
For what we know, it could be the divine beings that we have known, or sothing new that found us interesting. For what we know, it could very well be a demon noble of a high rank… perhaps a demon king.
’She was already going through sothing difficult and if I tell her about this new problem as well, things will only get more complicated for us.’
She was having difficulty handling herself already. She was constantly drifting away. Her thoughts, her mind was becoming more ’stable’ in a way and she consciously couldn’t keep a track of it.
’Or at least, that’s how I understood her situation.’
I had no idea what was happening to her. But, I knew it was sothing complex like what was happening to a few days ago.
’People were forgetting , their mories of myself were scattered and, a being that relied on mories as a mode of communication was the only reason we were able to find out about that.’

That was a strange thing, but with ti, it now seed to be getting back to normal.
Though, with ti, it seed like her symptoms were getting worse and even with all the knowledge that I have, even after scanning her with Lucy’s ability, we were not able to find anything wrong about her.
’There was no information about our conditions in any of the mories from my master either.’
I tried finding out about it on my own but I could not find anything. It was practically strange, and there was nothing that I could do to bring that up to her…
I was staying with her since that was the only thing that I could do right now, but I wanted to help her… even though I was helpless in this situation right now.
"You’re hiding sothing, aren’t you?"
She was not sick or anything but the way she was experiencing these ’drift’ episodes was increasing. Just today, it has happened more tis than yesterday and who knows, if that happens tomorrow, I might not even be able to help her in any way.
"Will you believe if I say I’m not hiding anything at all?"
"Do you want to…?"
She questioned with a calm look, understanding the situation that we both were in right now.
"I do want you to. Can you do it, please?"
I wanted to do whatever I could to help her, help myself as well if possible. But right now was not the ti for her to know about so unknown entity that had sohow managed to look through us and know a lot of things about us that we did not want them to know of…
"Then… I won’t ask.
But, promise you’ll tell when the ti cos."
"I promise."
I did not want to keep it a secret from her forever. Just until this situation gets resolved and she gets better… that was all I needed for now.
"Haaa… anyway, it seems like the headmaster is here."
"Oh really?"
Celes saw him earlier and told about him, so we should get going as well.
"Shall we go then?"
We had already decided on a eting place, so we should go there.
I wanted to ask him about her condition anyway, so we should hurry.
"Yeah, let’s go… I’m not sure if he will know about this condition or not, but hopefully, he will know sothing."
She was hoping that, but I was praying that she knows sothing about what we were experiencing right now.
It all started after that trail in the dungeon, so there might be sothing to it aside from us interfering with our divine abilities.
’Headmaster…’
I hoped that he would know about this. At the very least, I wanted him to know what Rein was experiencing and how I could help her in this situation.
And, thankfully…
"You two… what the hell, did you do?"
It seed like he did know about sothing.
"Did you hear what’s going on with us from them?"
He was with the President and Cradle when we got to the eting point on a certain shore. And, from the way his eyes were glowing right now, it seed like he was using his [World Authority] to observe the two of us.
"Eon, Elle…"
The headmaster looked at us with concern and after understanding what was going on with us, he sighed deeply and patted our heads simultaneously.
"You’re going too fast, you two."
From his hand, a bright golden light was produced that sohow seed calming at first, but then it produced a sharp pain in my head.
"Ughh…!"
For Rein, it seed to be a more painful experience as she scread loudly enough to concern the rest of us, but the pain only lasted for a short while.
"Though we call it Astro-cognitive distortion experienced after entering a higher state of ’being’, it is more like a rebound you experience when starting your journey on the divine path while still being in an inadequate body."
The headmaster was doing sothing with us, but it did not seem painful anymore. Instead, my head was blank, and even though I was listening to what he was saying, I felt like I did not have any physical body at all. As if I was in my astral state and there, I had beco motionless.
"Your powers beco too strong for your body to handle, so the mind starts expanding rapidly so that the body would have to follow behind and grow as well.
But, there is not enough ti for the body to catch up with the expansion, so strange phenona that could not be explained even by the individuals happen."
People forgetting about you, people drifting away in their own thoughts, or sothing even worse… this was not a simple thing, in fact, this was more complicated than it sounded.
But, then again, even though I could hear it, it did not seem like my mind was processing any of that information.
"You’re lucky you did not vanish yet… or sothing worse did not happen to those around you."
That was not a complint or a statent. He was warning us.
"Haaa…"
And then, even though it seed like he wanted to say sothing more, he stopped speaking.
He did what he had to, and we just stood there… frozen and in a strangely conscious state.
