40 Chapter 36

"Rin-San?" 

Ryusuke spoke the name of the pink-haired girl who was close to him. There was no way he wouldn't recognize her, after all she was Yae Sakura's little sister, she is Yae Rin. 

"Ryusuke, is it really you?" Yae Rin approached Ryusuke. 

"Yes, it's me. I'm also surprised to see you again, Rin-San." Ryusuke spoke with a small sincere smile of relief for her. 

When he entered this space of Stigmata he could clearly feel everything about this place, he knows that he owns this space of Stigmata and that he can change this place in any way he wants. He also realized that this Stigmata isn't receiving any outside influence, meaning the Honkai isn't trying to corrupt his mind yet. Although he finds it a little strange that the Honkai isn't trying to corrupt his mind, but he won't complain about it, in fact he will make the most of these quiet moments because he knows it's only a matter of time before the Honkai tries to make life hell quiet of him.

'Now that I stop to think about it, the Herrscher of Binding was the eleventh Herrscher to appear in the Previous Age while in this Age the third Herrscher has not even awakened. Does that mean Honkai will only start messing with me when it's my turn to wake up?' Ryusuke thought of a possibility about why Honkai has made no move on him since he received the stigma of Binding. He also found it strange that Honkai remained quiet even though he managed to arrest Herrscher of Corruption inside his body.

"By the way, Rin-San ... if you're here then that means the-"

Ryusuke tried to ask Yae Rin a question, but he had been interrupted by another nostalgic voice. 

"Ryusuke, so you finally got here, look how you grew up in these 3 years..." 

Kallen Kaslana appeared there, she had a happy smile when she saw that Ryusuke had already reached them.

"Kallen-san, it's so good to see you again." Ryusuke greeted her. She was in a great mood now. 

'Now that Kallen-san and Rin-San are here I think I can allow them to talk to Sakura-san when I invite her to this Stigmata space.' Ryusuke had already thought of helping these girls' touching reunion.

Although Ryusuke does not have the powers of Herrscher of Sentience he is still able to use the powers of Corruption to invite Yae Sakura's consciousness into the space of Stigmata so that they can have a brief conversation.

After a few minutes they went to the house that Kallen and Yae Rin were living in. They talked a lot about how their lives went in the last 3 years.

Yae Rin and Kallen said that they lived well in this space of Stigmata but that they wanted to see Yae Sakura again. 

Ryusuke told them about the peaceful life he lived for Yae Sakura. They lived a peaceful life in the city of Nagazora. He also talked about how he used the Herrscher's power of Corruption to awaken his natural Stigmatas and how he created Morgan as an artificial intelligence to manage his natural Stigmata.

Yae Rin did not understand very well how impactful the news of Ryusuke's natural Stigmatas was, but Kallen opened his eyes when he heard about it. 

In her entire life at Schicksal, she knew that only the three families had stigmas that made them capable of fighting Honkai without suffering from Honkai disease. Unfortunately, the number of people who had stigmata to fight Honkai was very small. So Kallen was shocked to learn that he had a natural Stigmata.

"Do you want to see my library?" Ryusuke asked for both.

"Is it okay for us to get out of here?" Yae Rin asked shyly because she didn't know it was safe for them to leave this village.

"You two don't have to worry, the two spaces of Stigmata exist within my Stigmatas so it is safe for you to pass since you have my authorization." Ryusuke spoke to reassure Yae Rin. 

"I understand." Yes Rin nodded to Ryusuke's words. 

Soon after Ryusuke created a portal that leads straight to the Ryusuke library, and the three entered and arrived at the Ryusuke natural Stigmata library. 

"Wow, I've never seen a library as big as this before." Kallen spoke.

Both Kallen and Yae Rin were impressed with the size of the library. This is a virtual library that exists within Ryusuke's natural stigma.

{ Tsk... What was already bad just got worse. }

The Herrscher of Corruption was annoyed to see that Kallen and Yae Rin are there.

"Hmph, it's good that I finally got to see your ugly face, you nasty fox." Yae Rin crossed his arms and had an expression of annoyance when he saw Herrscher from Corruption. She would never forget the suffering she and her older sister have been through in the past five hundred years. Yae Rin heard from Kallen about what happened to Herrscher's memories of Corruption and she knows her sister well so she knows that Yae Sakura would not be able to hate Herrscher as deeply as before. But it is not so. 

She knows that Kallen and Yae Sakura will not pursue Herrscher of Corruption if she does no harm, she thinks these two are a little stupid because they are like that. She also doesn't understand why Ryusuke didn't get rid of her after all this time, she'll ask him at another time. Yae Rin will not act hysterically and hostile against Herrscher but she will also not be friendly to her, just as she would also fight back Herrscher's provocations of Corruption. 

{ Your ... you are just a bunch of data, so learn your place, your ... } Herrscher was very furious because of Yae Rin's attitude. Her pride could not endure the humiliation of being despised in this way by YaeRin. But before she could finish speaking Ryusuke interrupted her.

"Oh, yeah, I haven't introduced Morgan to you yet, right?" Ryusuke spoke while joining hands. Fortunately he managed to interrupt the discussion just in time. 

"It's a pleasure to meet you, I'm Morgan." Morgan performed for both. She still had her expressionless face. 

"Yes, it's a pleasure to meet you, Morgan. I ask that you take good care of Ryusuke from now on." Kallen spoke with a charismatic smile as she held Morgan's hands.

"Obviously, that is my intention." Morgan spoke.

"It's a pleasure to meet you Morgan. I hope we can get along in the future." Yae Rin greeted Morgan. 

When Ryusuke wanted to say something he felt a hand touch on his left shoulder. He turned his face to see who he was but he didn't see anyone around, soon he felt that someone was shaking him and it was then that he remembered that he was in a space of consciousness and that his real body was asleep. 

Ryusuke then says goodbye to all of them. And he woke up. The first thing he saw when he woke up was Yae Sakura, who had a worried expression.

"Ryusuke why you were sleeping holding Jizo Mitama, don't you know that sleeping with a katana is dangerous?" Yae Sakura asked with a little concern while she was wearing a tone of rebuke for him.

"Hehe, about this..."

*RONC*

When Ryusuke was about to talk about Kallen and Yae Rin for her, his stomach snored with hunger. It had been a few hours since he had eaten something. And also using the power of Corruption to awaken his natural stigma spent a lot of energy, which made him hungry.

*sigh * "Dinner is ready by the table. That's why I called you several times but you didn't answer me, so I came to your room and I saw you sleeping in bed holding Jizo Mitama. Do you have any idea how worried I was when I saw you sleeping with a katana?" Yae Sakura spoke with a touch of scolding to Ryusuke. 

"I'm sorry, this is not going to happen again." Ryusuke apologized to Yae Sakura. 

'Okay, after I eat I'll talk about Kallen-san and Rin-San for Sakura-san.' Ryusuke thought while the two were going to the dinner table.
