The Anomaly (Tensura X Date a Live)

Chapter 4: Meeting

(After Rimuru got teleported to the neighboring world)

--------Rimuru POV--------

Floating in the neighboring world for some time.

Suddenly, Rimuru awoke and was greeted by a familiar voice.

<<Did you have a good sleep, Rimuru-sama?>>

<<Ah, did something happen, Ciel?>>

<<Report: I have partially analyzed the Sephira gem that Mio Takamiya gave you>>

<<Is there anything interesting?>>

<<The Sephira spiritual power is currently in an unstable state because it was affected by nihility energy, so controlling it is nearly impossible.>>

<<Nearly impossible, huh? So it is still possible to control it, right?>>

<<Yes master, if I can control the spirit power stability, I can separate the two energies, but for some reason, this energy doesn't act according to the normal rule of the world, so I can't understand how it works yet.>>

<<What do you mean by that?>>

<<I can't replicate the spiritual power or the Sephira at all. Every time I tried to replicate it, the energy just turned back into mana.>>

<<That's certainly not normal huh?>> Rimuru mumbles in her mind.

<<< It also seems that the sephira has created a connection to your soul.>>

<<Eh? Isn't that bad? Can you remove the Sephira? Ciel>>

<<<Certainly possible. However, I think we should use this to analyze the power of spirits. And, according to my analysis, the Sephira is harmless to your soul. >>

After Ciel's suggestion, Rimuru thought for a moment.

An object with largely unknown functions and effects was inside Rimuru's body.

But even so, Ciel made it seem like this thing wasn't a danger.

<<I have already transported your real body to another dimension, so you don't have to worry, master.>> Ciel spoke up as if she knew Rimuru's thought.

<<Eh? Since when!?>>

<<30 years ago, before it was placed in your body, Rimuru-sama.>>

<<Is that so... Alright you can do as you please>>

<<Yes Rimuru-sama.>>

Rimuru had faith in Ciel. She must have a reason to keep the Sephira gem after all.

After that, Rimuru comes back to the problem that she has nothing to do.

She is currently using universal perception to sense her surroundings.

If she moves around, Phantom may think that she is a threat for being able to stay conscious in this place and attack her again.
