Chapter 72: Albedo and Duran: Prologue
"Yes," Kuso answered the system. Then... Her body had started to turn transparent... With the clothes being hidden in the transparent void. And the place had started to rewinding...
All the thing that she had seen was for herself that she had gone up...
The ground of that hole had been covered and then... Everything was rewinding and even there was a man who Kuso questioned the system as she said and pointed the white-haired man who had fighting against the black-masked man.
"Is that Lira?"
"Correct. But that was not the issue we want to talk about... We need to talk about how the story was starting... It was started from this girl..."
The system had shapeshifted into the male version of Kuso. The actual him... Thus, he said,
"I'm Duran. The system name of the technology that Lady Corona ever made... Don't be surprised with our looks. She modeled the system's humanoid based on your past life."
"My past life?" Kuso questioned the system. And the environment had changed onto the place that he never ever known before... The place that was once known as the road which led the System to explain in his humanoid mode resembling of him with modern clothes being worn with yellow T-Shirt and a black pants with a pair of office shoes being worn by that system.
Then, it had pointed to the man with a Chinese official suit and then. In behind of him. It was a girl who she had known as she commented while pointing at the mature looking woman.
"That's Albedo!"
"How do you know if that was her? I found it hard to find the difference between her and her twin sister."
Kuso answered the system.
"I can see her magical pattern. Every time she stepped on the ground. The flower drops like water which you had stepped on."
"Data registered. But unfortunately that I can't use the magical detection like lady Albedo."
"It's fine. I can. Besides, that pattern was an inborn pattern that nobody could be able to hide. Not even a goddess who could manipulate it."
"Data registered. Where do you know about it?" The system asked her. And she answered simply.
"Documentation had written those. I should complain to the higher gods if the document is different from the actual."
"Sounds like a good idea." The system answered her. Then, it started to explain as the man and the woman knelt in front of the emperor which led Kuso to yell.
"That's the first civilization!"
The system looked at her in a surprised expression. Then, it questioned him.
"How do you know that lot?" In a deep tone which somehow was its actual voice. Kuso did not answer anything but... She had paid attention to the man and the woman who knelt in front of the emperor in the hall that resembling of the ancient Chinese palace hall.
Then... The conversation had started as the man who resembling Kuso in an ancient prime minister outfit that commonly being used by the Chinese dynasty.
"Duran come to paid a respect."
"Albedo comes to paid a respect."
Both of them had knelt in front of the face that Kuso did not know who was. But at the thing, he was certain was...
"This man is surely powerful!"
"You don't say." The system mocked her smirkingly. Then, they proceeded to observe the talk with the man who sat at the throne with an elegant emperor suit brimmed in diamonds. And a throne that was made of pure gold with a shape of a lion.
"Rise up, Prime Minister Duran and his assistant." The emperor requested. Then, he proceeded as he said,
"How were the conditions at the slums? Can we move them as soon as we can?"
"Apologizes, my lord. It was too hard to move them."
The king looked at him with an unsatisfied glance. But... He sighed then, he replied to the prime minister.
"Mind sharing your finding at the site?"
"As for this. Lady Albedo knows much better than me as I'm only becoming her approval of the task. May you?"
The Corona known was wearing the beautiful gown with a purple and the red color being painted at her full dress. With the shaggy hair that she had, it was coloring her beauty to the max that nobody could be able to match.
"In fact. The palace was forbidding a woman to come. But... Lady Albedo was an exception since she was the adviser of the emperor in front of them."
"Whoa..." Kuso reacted surprisingly which led him to comment.
"That woman is surely strong..."
"Not really..." The system replied to him in a solemn tone as both of them were observing the conversation.
Albedo answered the emperor as the request from Duran which she stated.
"We had been disrupted by the Technoknights. With both I and Lord Duran's prowess alone. We can't outmatch them at all..."
"That was a huge downside after all..." The emperor placed his right palm to his face to scratch it slightly. And he was murmured to himself,
"What should I do? If Albedo could not be able to resolve them. Then, it was impossible for the others to resolve as well. Grand preceptor Albedo... Please give me the hints... Just like how do you do it when I was a kid..."
As for someone who could read a Mortal's mind. She can't only shook her head in powerlessness which led the emperor to say,
"Should we ignore them? They are my part of family as well..."
"Apologize for being rude. Emperor." Duran knelt to him as he wanted to suggest thing.
"It's fine. Just say it out over what you think which possible. Name one suggestion and I will try it out."
"We have to train our soldiers."
"Oh?" The emperor looked at him in an interested state. However, he did not consider about that before as he questioned the prime minister.
"But I never did that before. Are you sure about it?'"
"The chance may be slim, my lord. But, it's all worth to do. Cause.... That was written from the intel we had gathered before."
"Yes. My lord, it was what I and Lord Duran was researched of. It appears that only I and my sister who could do that. I am not the suitable person for it. Not you nor Lord Duran."
"Agreed. I will consider that part. But for now... I need you guys to kept monitor the slums. Make sure that they had a proper treatment before I managed to find a workaround. Also.... Let's drop this serious talk first. I have a request for you." The emperor requested the prime minister which led Albedo to say.
"I'm following in."
"It's men's heart to heart talk, Grand Preceptor. Apologize to send you off. Let me talk with prime minister directly."
She was hesitant since she seemed to had a passion to the charming male in front of her. But, the emperor commented her jokingly.
"Don't worry. I'm not a fan of same sex or transgender. I may be letting citizens to choose their sex preference as long as it wasn't breaking rules. But I'm really not a fan of it."
"But... Lord Duran was falling sick."
"What?" The emperor reacted.
Shortly after the emperor reacted the report shockingly. The man had fallen down in a pale face. Which led Albedo to use her flower patterned magic as she commanded,
"Cure!"
With that command executed. The emperor had the body engulfed with a natural colour with led the emperor to say.
"Save Duran first. You can heal me later!"
But when the emperor had seen her stripping the prime minister's cloth. He reacted,
"Bring him to my room."
"Understand. And emperor. Please lock this place as soon as possible!"
The emperor was felt questioned with the statement being told by the goddess. It led him to question her.
"Why do I have to close the gate? What if the citizens want to meet me?"
However. Albedo ignored him as she was focusing on the healing of the man In front of her.
But the emperor was a smart person. He instructed the guards to close the palace and then. He helped Albedo to bring the fainted Duran to his room.
"I have to tell you that you got covid-19. Sigh ..." The system commented as it had placed it's right palm to its face. And Kuso commented,
"Well... It was not a pleasant thing at all..."
Time and the place had moved to the present. And Corona was trying to find them which led him to say.
"Kuso, where are you?"
