DxD: Shadow Monarch

—---------------

Chapter-59

—---------------

I can't say for certain if that 'being' wants to use me for ulterior motives or wants to keep me in check in case I try to do anything that will harm that 'being'

No matter the case, I don't like others trying to manipulate me in any way. Still, I am kind of glad to whoever did this too because if it didn't happen then I probably still be living alone with boredom

"Can you open portals like that guy?" I asked this as I remembered him telling me about how he got on Aria's planet but he did say it required many lives to activate it

Hearing my words, grayfia stretched out her hand as a very small portal opened but the size of the portal was so small that only a small rat could enter it 

After a few seconds, the portal suddenly shrinks back as it gets closed, while Grayfia is sweating buckets and panting 

"Can't do it yet?" I asked this as I showed her struggle to open even this size of portal, maybe she needs training before she could do better

She was silent for a while after a few seconds she opened her mouth and spoke "I can but it seems I can only do it in my previous form"

"Did you ask this from your system?" I asked this as stared at her since I see no other reason for her to know this, not to mention her moments of silence were enough evidence to know this

Hearing my question or maybe because of my questioning tone, she was taken back as she nodded her head slowly

*Sigh*

"Just don't be too dependent on your system," I said as I released a tired sigh and realised that maybe because my way of asking made her scared

But it is all for her good, otherwise if she becomes too dependent on the system then she will easily be controlled by it 

Not to mention, her system is entirely different from mine which also has some kind of AI, grayfia can communicate with

Also, her system entirely depends on me to make grayfia grow which is hella suspicious, I don't even know how that works estimating a person's feelings for another especially when that person is as powerful as me is simply nothing but a fantasy

"As you wish, master" Grayfia responded to my advice, as she bowed her head and gracefully said this

Previous I thought she was doing a maid job for me only by order of her system but it seems I was wrong since she herself told me that this had been her dream to become a maid since childhood which is shocking but I couldn't sense any falsehood in her words

I mean this is probably my first time hearing someone dream of becoming a maid since I got a clear understanding of her home and everyone in her place wanna climb up the ranks and become superior devil but to her, she wanna be the maid of someone worthy after her world become peaceful 

I can't understand her thinking but it seems I am gonna struck with her even if I return to her world since she already acknowledged me as her true master 

I don't whether should I be sad or happy even though I am happy that I will have some real person accompany me still having her near me most of the time won't be comfortable for me either

"Master I think we can go to my home world after a few hours" Grafiya speak up making me awake from my thoughts

So her form has some kind of cool down? that makes sense since in that form her power goes to more than the next level enough for her to compete against my shadow army generals

And maybe her body isn't strong enough to take power from that 'thing' alone that's why she won't be able to open a full portal, so only becoming one with that 'thing' will help her to use that 'thing' all abilities 

"let's go back, that kid must be waiting for you and then let's go to your world," I said as I looked in the direction of my house or…castle

To her response, she understood what I meant as she came near me as I activated my shadow exchange and teleported back to my place again

"Go and meet that kid" I said as I ordered her to go, hearing this she little hesitate but after a few seconds, she nodded her head as she go 

But did she know where she is currently? Well this place is enormously big, I hope she will not get lost but she will be alright

With those thoughts in my mind, I moved towards my room as I entered I saw nothing but mess because of Grayfia's transformation luckily nothing was damaged

Even though I can make anything there are some that I can't create like my photo album which contains numerous memories that can't be created by any kind of power

I started to clean up my room without any kind of power or anything, just simply helped to make me remember what my origin is 

After arranging my room, I saw a photo on the ground as I picked it up and saw the photo, it was a photo of mine and my sister… 

I wonder how she is doing right now, is she still a childish brat or she is mature now? By now she should get married, I hope everything is well for them if they are alive

I just know even though I have lived here for a very long time but still the time between this world and my home world flows very differently, so I can't say if they are living or not

But I want to meet them again and talk to them while sharing our adventures, I wanna know if my friends doing alright but unfortunately for now it's nothing but a fantasy
