20 Meeting II
"So care to tell me, why? You clung to me and know my name when I did everything so that no one could know about me?" Dexter asked while regaining his bearing.
"It's...not like I knew your name. Well...I knew your name but...I don't know you...it was our Seer who knew and send me to find you?" the nekomata said while returning to her original form.
"So, how did you find me? When I had hidden everything about myself?" Dexter asked again.
"Yeah, you did and did so thoroughly, I couldn't even sense you, nor your magic, I could see you but when I try to sense you, it's like no one is present, you even hid your face, as well as you changed your voice and didn't show your face. So I knew that this was the only chance I had to get you. So I clinked to you when you tried to escape." Nekomata replied.
"Then how did you know, I won't kill you?" Dexter asked again.
"Well, I just took my chance, our Seer gave me an item that would glow and detect you when you are close by. I have been in this town for a few days already, but I still couldn't find you and I ran out of money.
So I went to the poor district to live with the remaining money, I had and a poor couple was kind enough to lend me a room, but somehow the brother of the boss fell for me and tried to r*pe me so I had to kill him.
And I wasn't allowed to use magic until I find you, but after that incident, the gang found me, then threatened me, with the life of the poor couple who I was living with. So I had no chance to fight but only way to save them was to surrender, then the boss chained me as an example to others and was going to kill me slowly, but when I was going to give up, the item began to glow and using my remaining strength, I called out and thankfully you came and saved us all. Thank you for saving us." She said while bowing.
Hearing her Dexter was trying to digest all the information and came to a conclusion that, in this world, he can't be hidden from everyone, no matter what he did and someone will somehow find him, he strengthens his resolve to get stronger as soon as possible or it will really incite trouble for him.
"Are you listening?" the nekomata asked when she saw him thinking.
"Yes... Of course, I am, so you are a nekomata and what the so-called Seer wants from me?" Dexter asked while coming out of his inner world.
"boohoo, I am not a nekomata, I am a nekoshou, I am stronger than a nekomata." The nekoshou replied with a pout.
"Alright, alright, my mistake, so Miss. Nekoshou, what do you want from me?" Dexter asked while shrugging his shoulder.
"Eheeeee, you don't need to call me Miss. Nekoshou I have a name and its Valera." Valera replied with an irritated tone.
"Alright then, Miss. Valera, what do you want from me and I won't be repeating myself again." Dexter with an equally irritated tone and thought,'are you a preschooler to make such sounds.'
Then suddenly Valera started to glow and stone came out of her head, it was transparent but was glowing with white light. It came out and started to hover in front of Dexter, but Valera fell down and became unconscious. Seeing this Dexter was going to have a look at her but a voice interrupted him.
"Don't worry, she will be alright soon as the stone has used all her magic and please hold the stone as I want to talk to you and the stone can't remain powered forever." The voice said.
"So, I guess you are the Seer." Dexter asked with a little caution.
"Yes and please hurry!" the Seer said in an urgent voice.
After thinking for a while, Dexter finally caught the transparent stone and his mind was sucked into the stone.
Dexter was really amazed by this power and started to look at the surroundings, but it was a transparent space and he could see his body holding onto the stone, while he was admiring the power someone else started to appear in front of him, it was transparent body at first but it started to take form and finally after a few moments a naked beautiful brown hair, brown cat eared and tailed nekoshou appeared in front of him.
"Hello, Dexter World we finally meet!" the Seer said and he was dazed because of her beauty as well her charm.
And it should be know that, he was an assassin who had was given course to resist the charm and he was immune to it in his previous world. Finally, he came out of dazes and asked with a blush," why are you naked?"
"Well you are too and I like what I am seeing, but do you?" said the Seer in a teasing tone.
Hearing her Dexter was finally able to pull himself out that mindset and became serious," So how did you know about me?"
"I am called a Seer and have an ability to look into the future."
"Well, I could guess that but how did you know about me, as no one should know about me." Dexter asked in a serious tone.
"Sigh, I will tell you about it but do you have time to listen to it." The Seer also became serious and asked.
"Well, I have all the time, so continue."
"It started a few decades ago when I acquired this power. I was able to see the future and things I saw shocked me to the core about the future of my clan. I could see my clan members body everywhere lying lifeless on the solid ground with no one to bury or burn them.
I would see the face of pain and helplessness on them, I would see a child being experimented on who nither knew their parents nor knew where they belong or what future holds for them.
I could see nekomata being a prostitute and feel her frustration when she wasn't able to decide her own life and death, I would feel the pain she felt when she gives birth without knowing who the father of the child is or what would the future hold for such a child, I would always feel death coming for my clan.
At that time I was really frustrated as there seems to be no way out for us no matter how many paths I choose no matter where I went, I could always see myself and my clan being devoured by the devils.
So at that time, I started to look for a future for my clan with the hope of a miracle. Slowly the time passed but nothing changed, it seemed that all the doors were closed for us and I didn't have the power to change it. So, I would always dive myself in the future to find a way out for my clan.
But a few months ago a miracle, you happened and the future showed me you as the savior of my clan. But I was only able to see a few moments of your life. I wasn't able to see your face or know your name. Finally, I came to know about your name a few weeks ago when a female called your name while you were training.
Finally, after knowing that, I started to prepare to ask for your help, but I realized that I don't really have anything to offer you." The Seer stopped her story at this moment and looked directly into Dexter's eyes and Dexter could see a hope of life, a hope for a better future and he could also see helplessness and frustration in them and asked," So I came to a conclusion that I could only offer myself as well as my clan to you, but you will have to make an oath that you will take care of them with all your power.
I know that men have a special fondness for nekomata and from what I saw about you, you don't abuse female. So Dexter World I would like to ask, are you willing to bind the fate of my clan with your?"
