7 A conversation(1)..... --------------------------------------

I stared at the girl who was sleeping in front of me on the bed. Two days had already passed since the time when I talked with her at the garden.

Right now I can somehow able to move my eyes, allowing me to see more. But for the body, I can only use my neck part to turn my head but for the parts like arms and legs, I can only able to move one if I focus all my mana into that place.

I still have to wait for the rest of the mana to arrive after all.

For the mana part, I just kind of felt like it was one with me which was kind of difficult to describe. It's like something I can circulate through out my body even though this is my first time using mana.

Its weird... But nevermind that, since I'm able to turn my head,I now have a better understanding with the room that I'm in at...

It really is a small room with only a few amount of furnitures for the girl. There was also a small window on the upper part of the wall near the ceiling. I guess it's put that high up to avoid being climbed on from the inside. Well even if we do climbed on it, there is 3 bars on it so just climbing there won't help us escape.

Back to the point that I can turn my head, I can only turn my head 180 degrees, I also want to try doing a 360 out of curiosity but something is telling me not to try it for now.

Also regarding about the skill that I used as Aria-sama said. The damage transfer seems to work just fine.

But still... even though it works, seeing Diana get hit for most of time repeatedly made me enraged.

The desire to fight back, and to protect Diana from those who hurted her started to grow on me quickly.

I'm pretty sure she won't feel the pain anymore since I transfered the inflicted damage to me when she receives it.

But as I look at Diana's skin. Even though its kind of dim Inside the room, I can still see the bruises and Injuries that Diana have on her skin.

They didn't hold back hurting her, they kicked her, hit her with wood, slapped her while also hurling abusive words. And all of that in front of me.

There is also the Food that it's easy to tell that it was not cooked nicely as the appearance says it all just by looking at it.

Proper hygiene is also out of the question already.

I sighed and continued staring at the girls bruises on her skin.

I'm very sorry that I'm making them still hurt you. I know you want to escape already but you are still in this place waiting for me....

Diana is really doing her best clinging to her life... I'm very surprised that she manage to survive this far even while enduring those worse treatment to her.

I sighed again and wanted to atleast touch her face but I decided not to at the moment.

They really are horrible people.....

I don't think that I have any more forgiveness left for them.

It's not just the master of this house who is horrible, its also the servants who were working inside this place....they are all the same... Thats why.....

I want to kill them....

Eeh??... What did I just.....

How did I arrive on the thought of killing?

I'm started thinking that killing is the best option.

And what's more weird is that I don't feel anything trying to stop me on doing that

Killing them already after this would be the best option. I don't want to see them again and that also goes with Diana

If I don't dispose them now then that will only result to some obstacle when it comes to our future if they decided to chase after us...

No wait.... Should I kill them?

Would Diana like that?... Escaping is her main wish and that doesn't concern killing them.

What right should I have to be the one killing them?

If anything the one who should be deciding this is Diana not me, I mean she is the one who was enduring this treatment for as long as she lived.

No..... I think I should do it....

Even If I will be the one who will need to get my hands dirty... Just for Diana..... I would.

No....

Just what is happening to me? What should I do?

[fufufu, you are thinking too much again~]

Hmmmm!?, startled by an voice, I stopped thinking and started shifting my focus to the voice inside my head.

I already knew the owner of voice.

Aria-sama..... were you listening to me all this time?

[that I did~]

Aren't you busy doing your work above? I mean you should be right?.

[I decided to take a break for a moment you see~ and with that said, I thought about checking up on you to see what you are up to fufufu~]

Checking up on me huh..... Well enough of that for now. I want to ask Aria-sama something now that she is here.

you knew what I was thinking about a while right?

[yep~]

Then what should I do?

I'm really lost here..... But there is one thing for sure....

I want to atleast avenge Diana. For all the things that they have done to her... I don't want them to live their happy lives after we escape....

[hmmmu~ even if you talk with Diana about that then I'm pretty sure she will not be able to answer that.....]

I think so too.... Talking with Diana about this is not going to work.

[fufufu~ if anything else I just recommend you to focus on Diana and your escape.]

Ehhh.... Then what about this horrible house.... I don't feel satisfied just by leaving here without doing anything to them.

[don't worry about it~]

But I really....

[they already have their fate sealed you see.....]

Aria-sama's suddenly interrupted me with an tone of voice that became low and serious. I felt a light shiver just by hearing her just now.

[either you kill them or not, Just do whatever you want.....]

Aria-sama?

The mood became so serious that I'm getting goosebump already.

[whatever you do nothing will change to their fate....there is something already set in stone for them anyway.... ]

Scary..... Thats one word that I can think about at the moment.

Wait....

What is their fate to begin with? Hearing it just makes me more curious.

[it's already obvious you know....

Obvious??

Wait let me rundown all the thing's that Aria-sama said.

Ohhh its that....

their death Huh....if that's the case then I don't have anything to say anymore.

Hmmm....

Also.... Did they perhaps also anger Aria-sama for her to be like this. This is also the first time for me seeing this new scary side of her.

[anyway don't think much about it anymore okay~]

Aria-sama usual cherry voice returned as if the seriousness from earlier was nothing.

[if you want to kill them then feel free to do so, If you don't want to or you don't know then just leave them be in here~]

So it's either making my hands dirty or just leave them since they will die anyway.

But I think I will still need to decide on this, I still have a four days to go before that so I guess I will need to calm myself down first.

[fufufu good girl~]

Yeah yeah.... By the way..... How long are you going to stay here Aria-sama?

[a bit more longer, I am kind of bored to go back to work at the moment...]

Lazy.....

[geh.... I guess you could say that....]

Anyway I'm a bit glad that I could talk with Aria-sama again, she is kind of my talking partner when I'm bored of staying still.

[ohhh by the way~ there is a skill called telepathy and play dead which you can use later after this night...]

Play dead?

I know telepathy because I already have a vague Idea about how it works. But what about play dead?

[it's a manual skill that you can use to make you look more like a doll~ you will not move and behave like a doll in short.~]

Ohhh that's very useful. That can help me avoid any unnecessary movement when I'm in a situation where I will need to stay still to avoid being suspected as a living doll.

[fufufu thought so ~ how's your body by the way?]

This question is what she always ask me at the end of the day. I don't know why she asks me that but I'm pretty sure that I'm fine.

I'm all good.....

[I see. Well what should we talk about today?~,]

Hmmm... Ohhh now that I thought about it, I forgot that I still didn't have any plans about what to do when me and Diana escape this place.

We can't just go out there without any plans after all, so with that being said, what about finding where to earn money for our living expenses.

[a job? ~ hmmm joining the adventures guild will seem to be a good start~.]

Adventurers guild huh..... Hmmm that's a bit too cliche in an fantasy world but if there are no easy way of earning money then I should go and join them.

Wait can I just be a bandit?? isn't it easy to earn money that way?

[I don't recommend it~]

I was just joking... Hmmm or maybe not..... Anyway I should pick something normal.

A musician?... But I don't have any instrument and I don't even know if they have instrument similar to ours in this world.

A soldier? A spy? Those seems cool, but also dangerous.

A cook or baker?,hmmm.... I think I just want to them for personal reasons not for a Job...

A merchant?, no I don't have anything to sell though... but I can try it in the near future.

Adventurer..... Its a bit cliche but it does works.... I'm also sure that being one comes with a good amount of benefits.

But maybe before I pick with a job I should go check up the situation outside of this place first.... I think it will help me pick a job more better

[the situation hmmm~, I already said about how chaotic this world right?]

I already did....its a very messy and dangerous place... But I want to see more of the world you know.

[I do understand that but that's after you finally get a hold of how to use your body~]

Yes.... But that won't be long until then..

[yes~]

And like this the two of us chatted until Aria-sama breaktime is finished.

----------------------------------------------

Time passed again and Diana woke up from her sleep.

She gently grab me and raised her hand and maybe stroked my hair as it was moving repeatedly from my point of view.

Hmmm.... Remembering one of my conversation with Aria-sama. I remember her telling me about being to use telepathy.

Maybe I should try using it now...

I focused my mana and tried to take it all to my head.

[goodmorning... can you hear me??....]

"eep!!?"

She suddenly moved or maybe jump. I guess this her answer of her being able to hear me.

I can't see her face from this angle since her arm is blocking my view. But I think she will have a suprise look if I do see it.

[that's a yes right?]

"Yes!!"

Looks like I startled her a bit too much, I would be surprised too if a doll that I always kept by my side suddenly talk after all.

[relax, we already talked with each other right?]

I said that trying to calm her down, and Diana did follow and took a breath in and relaxed.

She removed her hand from my head and just kept holding me on top of her lap.

[....]

"uhmmm?..."

The two of us stared at each other for a short moment.

so what are you going to today?...]

"eeh?"

I don't have any topics on my mind at the moment so I just went with this one.

"I dont know....."

To be honest I think I just asked an dumb question... Its not like she have many things to do Inside this place..... She is a locked up person and her movements are also limited..... So its either reading, sleeping, dozing off, or maybe since I'm finally able to talk to her, just talking around can be added to the option.

"..."

The girl just silently looked straight to my face. She didn't say anything making me curious on what she is thinking right now.

After a short moment, her eyebrows raised up and she has the look that she have something to say.

"I want to talk with doll-San...."

Ohh... she really did picked that option huh, well I already kind of expected it.

Hmmm... we had our conversation cutted off from before right?, I guess this is the continuation for that dropped conversation.

[okay then..... What do you want to know first?...]

With that said, I now decided that I will spend most of my time today talking with Diana.
