Zeta pov:I was questioning what my other self was like. She seemed to have suffered. I didn't get why we were so similar yet so different.
Then what was Ela like in her world? Was she okay? Did she have a bad life? I don't know. I wanted nothing but the best for us, but I had no idea if that was possible.
According to the other me, Mumei-senpai helped her a lot. It is the same as me I didn't get how we could live in similar worlds since other dimensions aren't supposed to be similar.
"There is a reason why our worlds are similar." The other one said
"Why's that?" I asked.
"Ask the person who made the world, I guess," the other said.
"So Mumei-senpai?" I said
"Y-yeah, let's go with that..." the other me said.
Mumei-senpai looked back at us and said, "You are a really funny person." She laughed
"I know my Mumei-senpai said that too!" The other one said
"I'm Holly. We're friends in your world." Mumei-senpai said
"We're best friends," she said.
I smirked and looked at Ela, who was talking to Reine and Kiara.
"Do you protect your Ela?" I questioned
"Yes I do, actually. I met her when Fuma was about to kill her," the other man said.
"That makes sense. That is your girlfriend," I said.
"She is the cutest," the other said, "although she works too hard," she whispered.
"Same with mine, although she is also lazy," I said.
"Achoo!" Ela sneezed.
"What the hell was that!?" Reine asked.
"Zeta must have said something bad about me." Ela said while pulling her mallet out of the
"Wait, Ela!" I screamed, running away from her.
"You realise a mallet wouldn't hurt you, right?" The other me asked.
I realised my body was durable and strengthened, so something weak like a mallet would do minimal damage.
"I'm sorry, I must look pathetic!" I said while bowing to the other me.
"You don't need to apologize. I sometimes forget about my body." She giggled.
I knew she was lying because I could tell she dreaded her body modifications. She wanted to be a normal human, but we were dealt a bad hand.
"Let's not push ourselves from now on," I said.
"What are you getting at?" The other me asked:
"I just want you to relax for a while since you're not in your world," I said.
"How can I relax when my Ela is here too and could be in danger?" The other man said
I didn't know how I could have forgotten that we were in the same world, yet I was in my own little world.
I completely disregarded that Ela was here because mine was safe. I couldn't believe that I could even be like this.
"Don't worry about it," the other me said, giggling a bit.
"Can you read minds?" I asked.
"Oh yeah, you'll probably get that ability soon," the other me said.
"Oh, so it's not a magic thing?" I asked. She shook her head.
"Magic isn't responsible for everything," the other me said.
"We all have magic even in this world, right?" Kiara-senpai asked
"Yeah, animal shifters, witches, and mages all exist." Mumei-senpai said
"Animal shifters aren't rare though." I said I could name twelve off the top of my head.
"Question: who is the strongest person in your world?" I asked.
"Do you have a gen 0 here?" The other me asked:
"Yes, however, they went missing," I said.
"That's not good, again. It doesn't seem like they are needed," the other me stated.
"I agree," I said, "but you say they're the strongest."
"Can you please tell me if your Hoshimachi Suisei is insane?"The other me asked:
"But why?" I asked.
"It doesn't matter...." the other said. She looked shaken up.
Her Suisei must be truly terrifying if she could instill fear in a literal super weapon like this. I wondered what she was like.
"Let's just say she spills a lot of blood..." the other me said.
"Oh she's like that..." I said nervously.
"Yeah, I did some research since her past was unknown," the other me sighed.
"Of course, every world needs someone like that," I said.
I didn't know who really killed people in this world, but I just wanted to be similar to her. I know our Hoshimachi Suisei did kill people, but not in mass.
"Your Suei sounds like a good person," the other said.
"Is your Suisei a villain?" I asked.
"No, she is a hero..." the other me said.
"How!" I asked.
"Don't ask me if she saved the world!" The other one said
I was amazed I didn't know how she could be seen as a hero after all the crimes she committed in her world.
"Well you see, do you have an Azki in this world?" The other me asked.
"Yeah, we do," Mumei-senpai said.
The other began to explain how her world's Suisei got away with everything and how she is only known as a hero.
I guess news doesn't really travel or she kills all witnesses. That world sounded scary, like being in a school with a murderer like that daily and going to class with her self chills down my spine.
"It seems like you're scared," the other me giggled.
"N-no, I'm not!" I shouted
"Don't worry, I understand," the other me giggled.
She must be afraid too... I thought the other me nodded since she could read my mind.
"That's such a useful power," I said.
"Yeah, and you can turn it on and off," laughed the other me.
"How many Zetas do you think there are?" I asked myself.
"Billions or trillions," the other man said.
I was shocked I thought in every universe there would be some differences in appearances and stuff, but there didn't seem to be any.
I was looking forward to meeting Ela. I wanted to see if she was similar to mine. I was really excited
