Chapter 1354 The ‘Heads’
Sefaira's sudden transformation caught everyone off guard, especially Issei who has been long friends with her. While he doesn't know much about her, she's been a good friend of his wives and even babysat his son multiple times.
However, the transformation didn't stop there as her face also soon started wrapping into someone else's, and this time, it was Stralit who let out a voice of surprise, "N-no way..."
Kisuke grinned at her and asked, "Do you regret it now?"
Stralit was stunned for a moment before shaking her head, "It's fine. But I don't think her presence will do us good."
Gwenn turned towards her and immediately asked, "Do you know her!?" She wasn't really surprised by the gimmick at the start but the moment she looked at her properly, she shuddered when saw the inner workings of an Evie in a body made out of flesh and blood, "What is she!?"
'Sefaira' finally finished her transformation and her mind became clear. She scanned her surroundings, landing her eyes for a little bit longer on Stralit before reigning in her malevolent aura and taking the seat in front of her, "Finally. I was wondering when you'd start."
"K-Kisuke..." Issei immediately figured out that she was not the Sefaira that she knew, "Who is she? Where's Sefaira?"
All these years, Sefaira has been hiding from the Evies and Etouldes alike because they thought that she was a survivor of their world who was able to escape both influences. They knew that she was hiding a lot of things including why she bears the same one as one of the Pillar Gods but they thought that wasn't a big deal since if it is, she wouldn't be using that name that openly.
Before Kisuke could say anything, 'Sefaira' turned to Issei with a smile and said, "Hyoudou Issei, I'm thankful to you and your wives for taking care of this body. I'd say I enjoyed the experience these past few years."
Although he was talked to, Issei didn't really know how to respond. It sounded like she was the Sefaira that he knew but that way she carried herself was very different from his memories.
It was also at this moment but she finally remembered Kisuke and Stralit's strange exchange, signifying a far more terrifying implication.
Her head slowly turned to the one patting her back and fear was apparent in her eyes. She looked into her eyes and it only took her a moment to catch a glimpse of guilt on it.
Gwenn inadvertently took a step back and dodged her caring hand. At this moment, she truly felt alone, surrounded by her enemies.
She wanted to ask, but she was very much scared of the answer Stralit would give her. If by some chance that they really are colluding with the Evies, then death will be the least of her worries.
Gwenn wanted to take some more distance from everyone, but before she knew it, Kisuke appeared behind her, making her shudder and almost lash out. Kisuke thankfully was able to stop her in time by pressing his hand covered with calming Kaidou on her trembling shoulder and saying, "I know what you want to ask and I'll answer it for you. Stralit here indeed personally knew Seraselbes and they aren't just simple acquaintances.
"However, Stralit didn't bring you here to harm you. On the contrary, it's because she trusts you."
Gwenn turned to Stralit once again but the latter didn't say anything and just nodded slightly.
It might have been her survival instinct but Gwenn managed to crack a nervous smile as she pivoted her head towards Kisuke, "It's going to take a lot to convince me and if you can, please do it as soon as possible because I'm this close to flipping out."
Kisuke grinned, "Actually, it's going to be super easy, barely an inconvenience."
Gwenn wondered what he meant by that but she'll soon realize what he meant when a silhouette began materializing behind Issei bearing a very familiar aura of a Royal Etoulde.
