We are walking back to my room now. I still don't understand most of the things they said. I'm quite overwheld with what is happening right now.
What's the task? What with the book? What spirit? Virtouse? What are those things?
Earl suddenly stops walking and looks back at . "You probably have a lot of questions right now. Are you tired? We could et so of my seniors here so they could help you answer every question you want to ask."
I shake my head at him as a response. I'm still overwheld with things that just happened. I don't think my mind could digest any information right now.
"I'll probably rest. I still cannot digest everything they said. Everything seems surreal for ."
Earl just nodded his head and stopped in front of my room. "I understand you. I was like that too when I first ca here, but you'll get used to it eventually. Anyway, you can just co to if you feel okay afterward. I'm mostly around the vicinity."
"Thank you. I'll keep that in mind. If you'll excuse , I'll be going inside now."
Earl nods before he opens the door for . He also closed it for , like how a gentleman does. I guess chivalry isn't dead, eh?
I walk to the bed and lay there. What in the world is happening to ? First, I was transmigrated from the real world to the fictional world. Second, I was sharing my body with the villainess, and I was tasked to be the villainess if I wanted to be a writer. And now, I am in the in between world. Why is this happening to ? Isn't most isekai stories is all about the female lead being a character of a story, and then she will fell in love with the male lead. But why is this happening to ?
I rolled on the bed. And now, they said I couldn't get out of this world if I let the fictional world collapse. This. This is really unfair!
'That's the reason why you are in the fictional world and is living as Csille Lauretré, the villainess of your novel. You want to be a real writer, right? Then you need to prove to the book that you really want to be a writer.'
I suddenly get up on my bed when I rember what Teague said to . I need to prove to the book that I want to be a writer? But how can I prove it? They didn't even explain it to .
I slump on the bed again. I guess I'll just sleep this off. My head is already hurting with all the information I couldn't even process. No matter how much I think about what they said, I couldn't really process it all. Maybe if I sleep, I'll get a clear understanding about it, or better, perhaps I'll wake up in the Illorian City again. I really hope so.
__________________
I woke up feeling a little better. Although I still don't have answers to my questions, at least my head isn't hurting now.
I look to the window to check what ti is it when I realized that this world doesn't have the concept of day or night. Outside the window is just darkness and nothing more.
I look around and saw a clock hanging on the wall. The clock said it's already seven thirty, but I couldn't really tell if it's morning or night. I'm also not sure if this ti follows the ti of the real world or the fictional world.
I was startled when soone suddenly knocks on my door, and I heard soone talk outside. "Ysavel, are you there?"
I frown. The voice doesn't sound familiar to . So who could that be? I cautiously walk towards the door. I am about to look for a peephole when suddenly the door becos transparent, and I could clearly see who is in front of my door.
Two ladies are standing in front of . The lady on the left looks younger. She is wearing a lolita dress which really suits her petite height. She looks like a doll. The lady on the right looks like a lady in the nineties. She's wearing a doll dress with a nineties hairstyle. She looks like those nineties stars. She looks stunning. She could probably be a miss universe in the real world.
"What do you think Ysavel look like? I hope she looks cute like a doll," the lolita lady said to the other lady.
But it doesn't make sense. Why would she ask it if I'm clearly standing in front of her? Is she blind? But it doesn't look like she is.
The lady that looks like from the nineties rolled her eyes at the lolita lady. "Can you please stop with the thinking that every newcor will look like a doll. I heard from Earl that she looks beautiful."
The lolita lady pouted. "Hmph, that Earl! Every girl in his eyes is beautiful."
"Hey! Stop that! If Earl hears you, he'll be mad for you for sure."
The lolita lady scoffs and crosses her arms. "And so what if he gets angry? I'm just telling the truth. Also, I don't think he'll do sothing to even if he's angry."
The nineties lady just shakes her head and stares at . I am about to introduce myself when the nineties lady suddenly raised her hand and knocks in the air.
Did I see it right? She knocks in the air? And does my ears playing tricks on because I definitely heard a knocking sound. What in the world is happening.
"I, Uhm," I tried to talk to them, but I couldn't co up with a complete sentence. My mind is on whirl again. I don't understand why these ladies in front of are acting like I'm not in front of them.
The lolita lady suddenly looks at . "Oh, no, I think she is using the vision power." The lolita lady then tugs the sleeve of the nineties lady.
What does she said? Vision power? What vision power is she talking about? I am using it? But I don't even have power, to begin with.
The nineties lady sighs and looks at . "Ysavel, if ever you are in front of the door and is currently seeing us. Please know that only you can see us but not us. You are currently using the Vision power. It ans you can see us even if we are behind this door. To turn it off, just get rid of your thoughts of wanting to see what's behind that door."
I followed what the nineties lady said. I close my eyes and tried to concentrate my attention on sothing else. And when I open my eyes, I could see the door in front of , and I couldn't hear anything from the outside.
I frowned. Am I hallucinating?
I was startled once again when soone knocks on the door. I imdiately open it and see the two ladies in front of the door.
The lolita lady smiles widely at . "Hi, I'm Aaline. I am twenty five years old. I'm a ballerina."
The nineties lady shakes her head at Aaline's enthusiasm. "Hi, Ysavel. I am Soiartze. I'm twenty two years old, and I'm an actress. I heard from Earl that you're the sa age as mine and that you are a writer, is it true?"
I nod my head at them. Who are these people? Where did they ca from?
Aaline, the lolita lady, imdiately saw my reaction. She then scratches her nape. "I know it's all sudden, and you're still probably adjusting in here. However, please forgive us for bothering you. It's just, it's been a long ti since we have a newcor here, and your age is closer to us. That's why we run imdiately here to introduce ourselves."
"I'm sorry if we overwheld you. We don't an any harm. We just want to be friends with you. But if you're still not okay. We understand that. We'll just leave you for now, then. We're sorry for interrupting." Soiartze seconded.
I shake my head to get myself out of trance. I waved both of my hands to them. "I'm sorry, I just didn't expect soone to see . That's why I couldn't react imdiately. Also, I will be more than happy to be your friend. And you don't need to leave. I actually plan to look for Earl because he said he would introduce to his senior. But I guess, I wouldn't need him now."
Aaline imdiately smiled widely at . She then clings to one of my arms. She's smaller than , so it's easier for her to cling to . "That's great. I have another friend. Also, you don't need that, Earl. We could help you find our seniors to introduce them to you. Right, Soiartze?"
Soiartze just smiles at Aaline while shaking her head. "You really have your way to people, Aaline." She then looks at . "Welco to the Kosmo taxy, and you don't need to worry. We will help you with your stay here. You said you want to et the seniors, right?"
I nod my head at her. Although I'm not really sure what and who the seniors are. But since Earl said that they could help understand things clearly, I would like to et them.
Aaline claps her hand all of a sudden. "Co on. You got the right person. We could imdiately bring you to the seniors now." Aaline is about to drag when Soiartze suddenly stops her.
"Aaline, have you forgotten?"
Aaline stops walking and looks guilty at . "Sorry, I forgot that the seniors are busy dealing with things right now. It would probably take so ti before they could have free ti for us. But don't worry, since we are here, we could entertain you for a while."
Soiartze ssed the hair of Aaline, which caused Aaline to pout at her. "Sorry about her enthusiasm. She's always like that. Lively and always full of energy."
I shake my head at her. "That's okay. I don't mind. I actually miss having soone like that."
I suddenly rember all those kids in the orphanage I love to visit when I was still in the real world. They are just like Aaline. They are lively and always full of enthusiasm.
When will I ever visit you again, kiddos? I hope you are all doing fine and always have a smile on your face.
"Ysavel?"
I look at Aaline, who is looking at curiously. She really looks like a cute cat. I want to pinch her.
"Are you okay?" Soiartze asks worriedly.
I shake my head at her. "I'm okay. Sorry, I just rember sothing."
"You probably rember soone in the real world, right? I understand you. Sotis it also happens to . It must be good to co back there." Aaline said sadly.
Even Soiartze looks down. I put my hand on Soiartze hands. "I thought you would entertain . Where would you bring then? I want to see how you would entertain ."
Soiartze and Aaline both smile at . Aaline excitedly tugs my arms. "Oh, I know a place. I know a place. Co on. I'll show you sothing I'm sure you have never seen all your life."
I look at Soiartze questioningly. She just shrugged her shoulders at and smile. "Just let her be. I'm sure you will be amazed at what she wants to show you."
After hearing Soiartze words, I just let Aaline drags . We've passed through many rooms and walk for a couple of minutes before she stops on a huge green door. The door looks like the huge door of the room where I t the Virtuose. The only difference is its color. Its color green.
"Welco to the Paraiso, Ysavel," Aaline said before opening the huge green door.
