Not knowing, that his life could have been exposed to danger, if Anastasia didn’t unconsciousnessly feel safe and secure around him, Christian who amusedly watched Anastasia still sleeping despite his touches, took things further, as he pinched her cheek.
Only then, did she finally groggily open up her eyes.
.........
"You’re up?" Christian asked, as he was still feeling the soft cheek of Anastasia between his two fingers.
At her mild annoyance and dissatisfaction, displayed by her expression, and pouting lips, or her one purple, and one golden jewel like eyes glaring his green ones, he didn’t avoid them, and t them head on.
In the end, Anastasia still slapped his cheeky hand away from her cheek gently, and without replying to him, her eyes moved to the third presence in the room, seemingly understanding everything, she said, "So, you have finally finished building your praised android."
"Yes, and it’s ti for you to upgrade her." Christian said, his tone filled with unconcealed anticipation.
Maybe due to that? In the end, Anastasia didn’t comnt on his cheeky behaviors, and simply chuckled, as she stood up.
She walked toward the expressionless Iris, and sized her up more closely, before she said, "Then, let’s start, right away."
After her words, Anastasia raised her hand, her fingers glowing in crimson light, as an imnse amount of power seed to be gathered around them.
She had only started with her work, when the walls of the room, started cracking, and then, a second later, the air itself, seed to start shattering.
The space itself seed to unable to bear up, Anastasia’s strength.
And Christian watching from close distance away, felt like even standing had beca difficult, and breathing, even more labour.
At this display of power, despite his weakness, thinking that in the future he would hold it this kind of strength or more, he was actually pretty excited, and didn’t care about what was happening or the consequence...
But, that was only him, Anastasia who suddenly rembered that she was in backward world, that have not evolved even once, actually stopped in her action.
She pondered after that for a mont, about the solution, her eyes moving between Christian and Iris, when suddenly a ring appeared on her palm, and she threw it at Christian. "wear it."
Christian only had a mont, to admire the exquesite markship of the ring he caught, as he put it on his finger, when Anastasia, in the next second, without explaining things to him, suddenly held up his wrest with her delicate hand... and moved.
She seed to have only walked one step after that.
But, Christian’s eyes actually widened, as he saw his completely different surrounding.
It was... black. Not dark like night — darker.
That was the first thing Christian noticed.
Next was the silence.
No wind, no hum, no breath. It was the absence of everything that could make a sound.
Surround by this unnatural silence, Christian eyes finally moved around.
He saw Anastasia having let go of his wrist look at him intriguingly, but, his eyes didn’t stop at her and moved with his gaze to the more distance.
He seed to be able to make out so fixed point of white in distance, before his eyes suddenly moved on to blindingly bright ball... no, rather than a ball, it was the Earth.
Seeing it so small now, Christian finally seed to have confird that he was really in the outer space.
But, then... why is he not feeling anything? Let alone feeling so pressure, he is even breathing normally?
Christian knew, that despite his power up, he was still far from being able stand normally in the outer space.
So, while filled with awe, he finally opened his mouth and said, "What is going... on?"
Midway though, at his words that seed to actually echo in the outer space, he seed to have been surprised once again.
He was going to ask, how he was fine first, now, he wanted to ask, how he is even able to talk normally.
But, maybe there was no need to hear anything?
Eveything is going to be explained by so fantasy bullshit, after all... right?
Christian was right... because according Anastasia’s explanation, he is not finding any problem in enduring the outer space, and even breathing normally, due to her using her power.
Even without her using her power though, she told him, that with the ring that he put on his finger, he would have been fine either way, and Christian couldn’t help, but clutch the ring more firmly in his hand.
"Anyway, we ca here, because your planet is too fragile for to use my power freely on... and you want to give your android the best upgrade possible... right?" Anastasia, asked.
And Christian didn’t need to think before he nodded.
Thought, he wanted to tell her, that even without the need to upgrade Iris, he would still have liked to co here, for a small picnic in the outer space.
Regardless, having finally cald down sowhat, Christian once again, started looking at his surrounding, and concenterating more than before, he finally noticed what Anastasia talked about... the Runes.
Surrounding them from every directions, were small Runes, that seed to blend with the outer space.
She made so kind of domain, breath free, and living free for powerless humans like him... and Christian wanted to ask.
Just like she did that, to enable him to endure this place.
Could she have not used Runes in the Earth, to make the space there endure her power?
Curious, Christian asked.
And Anastasia shook her head, as she started explaining, "Your assumptions is wrong from the start."
"To make the space there, be able to endure my power, then I need to use my power, and when I use my power, the space not able to endure it, would start shattering."
It was a question of what cos first, and while actually, with her Ti power, she could have handled that, Anastasia still didn’t say that to Christian
After all, she can’t say, that she was too lazy to do that.
And really, there was no need for her, to tire herself out like that... right?
