Listening to their conversation, Asher looked around, his eyes slightly dazed. That staff was actually thrown to Shishou by Skadi? He had found it strange before how Shishou could have Skadi's staff. Now, hearing their conversation, Asher's confusion was finally resolved.
Just then, Scathach stepped forward, pulled out the weapon Skadi had previously thrown at Asher from the large tree, and pointed it at Skadi. "This weapon... and the staff you threw to me before should be made of the same material, right?"
"Of course, after all, there's no such material in this world," Skadi shrugged noncommittally. "It was probably about five years ago when I accidentally discovered that I could feel a very faint presence of a primeval aura somewhere. So, I followed it to investigate, and then I felt my own primeval essence in an opened 'door'."
"So you threw your weapon into that door?" Scathach asked. "Weren't you afraid I wouldn't pick up your weapon?"
"It wouldn't matter if you didn't pick it up." Skadi pointed to the staff Scathach was now holding. "As you can see, these are mass-produced." Scathach rarely showed a hint of an amused smile. "That's quite a coincidence." Like Skadi, Scathach's weapon, Gce Bolg, was made from the bones of a giant sea beast, and was itself a mass-produced item.
"Is the weapon I sent you still there?" Skadi asked.
"Of course," Scathach smiled. "But I broke it."
"Oh my, that's quite a statement to hear," Skadi's smile faded a bit. "Although they're mass-produced, their value might be beyond your imagination, you know?"
"I know, but I have someone here who is more valuable than that weapon." Scathach glanced at Asher. "And then, what happened after you threw a weapon over here and there was no sound from you?"
Skadi spread her hands. "After that, that door disappeared. I regret it very much. I often think if I should have followed that door into this world at that time."
"Wait a moment!" Asher interrupted their conversation.
"How exactly did you come to this world?"
"As you can see, I simply came to this world," Skadi said.
For some reason, Asher felt as if Skadi glared at him, and her tone of voice was much different from when she was speaking to Scathach earlier. It was understandable, after all, she was kissed by a strange man the moment she arrived in this world. Anyone would be in a bad mood. In fact, the fact that Skadi didn't immediately attack him was probably out of consideration for Scathach being nearby.
"How exactly did you get here?" Asher felt he needed to clarify this question. Scathach noticed that Skadi was reluctant to bother with her disciple, so she added, "I'm also very interested in this point. If you don't explain it clearly, it'll be hard for me to believe you."
Skadi sighed, muttering "There's no other way," and began. "As you both saw, a door simply appeared in my world, then I simply walked through the door, then I simply arrived in this world, then I simply met this man, was simply mistaken for his Shishou, and then was simply kissed by him... Tch, it stopped being simple there." How much does this goddess like the word "simple"?
"...I think it's quite normal for me to mistake you for Shishou and simply kiss Shishou, since you look so much like Shishou," Asher argued. If you ignored their aura, the two of them really looked too similar, almost like the same person. However, their auras were indeed vastly different. Hmm... if he had to say, Scathach was the type of sadistic character who could effortlessly tease Asher.
Skadi, on the other hand, was relatively docile. She was more like a young lady than a mature older sister, otherwise she wouldn't still be blushing and resentful after being kissed.
"Generally speaking, a disciple kissing their Shishou shouldn't be considered normal, should it?!" Skadi's cheeks were flushed, and she argued loudly, "If kissing your Shishou was really that normal, you wouldn't have been so bothered by that other sister just now, would you?"
"Could it be that you're in love with your Shishou, and you're hiding it from your fiance or something?" Skadi's eyes showed a hint of doubt towards the end. "For example, Shishou likes the disciple and the disciple also likes Shishou, but they haven't clarified their relationship due to their identities. Then, because of some opportunity, like a potion, the Shishou and disciple secretly got together behind the fiance's back, which is why you were bothering about whether to tell the fiance the truth just now..."
Asher: "..." He had to admit, this goddess was amazing... Although it was her own elaborate conjecture, it was almost completely accurate.
"Could it be that I hit the nail on the head?" Skadi looked at Asher as if she was looking at an insect, filled with contempt. "Because you admire your magnificent Shishou, you've transformed that admiration into possessiveness? What a terrible fellow you are," Skadi said again.
"Don't misunderstand, I was the one who first expressed my feelings," Scathach interrupted Skadi. "And... I don't need you to point out my disciple's character. I will make my own judgment." Towards the end, her tone had already become somewhat unfriendly.
"You were the one who initiated it?" Skadi was clearly surprised and looked at Asher several more times, shaking her head subtly. To actually fall for someone so utterly useless except for being a bit handsome, this woman must just be indulging in the taboo of a teacher-student romance. Skadi quickly stopped dwelling on the previous matter and naturally changed the subject. "Let's talk about what happened just now. I threw out that weapon because I wanted you to look for a presence similar to that weapon's aura. I thought that since our origins are similar, you should also be very clever. Do you have any clues now?"
Meaning you think you're clever too... Asher muttered in
his heart.
Scathach pondered for a moment, then handed the staff to Skadi. "So, you're looking for someone, which is why you threw the weapon down, right?"
Skadi took the staff. "Actually, I didn't have much hope because I wasn't sure where that person was right now, nor if they were even in this world."
"Is that so? That's a shame," Scathach said. "Does that person have any distinctive features?"
"This is his characteristic," Skadi said, holding up the staff in her hand.
"He's also a magical girl?" Asher asked with a hint of a joke in his voice.
"I can temporarily forget about the kiss, but I don't want to hear that kind of joke a second time," Skadi glared at Asher. "Actually, this staff is made of a certain kind of branch. The person I'm looking for can absorb the power from this staff for their own use... but that person refused to do so until the very end, and instead used another method to protect the world I was in." Skadi's voice became much more filled with reminiscence towards the end, as if recalling past experiences.
Asher was slightly startled. Can absorb the power of the staff? He parted his lips, about to speak, but Scathach raised her hand first, stopping Asher's voice. She looked at Skadi and said, "I roughly understand the situation. So, you've been looking for someone for several years, and throwing that weapon was also to hope I could help you find that person's whereabouts, right?"
Skadi nodded noncommittally. "And then, just now, that door, which had been gone for several years, opened again. This time, I decided to come here myself to see."
"And you just happened to run into my disciple, right?"
Scathach asked. Skadi nodded. "It was quite a terrible experience." Recalling Asher's kiss just now, Skadi felt inexplicably annoyed. She glared fiercely at Asher again, then averted her gaze. "Anyway, if there's nothing else, I'll be going. I need to find that person as soon as possible. If you have any clues, you can contact me."
"May I ask the reason why you want to find that person?" Scathach asked.
"Of course." Skadi somehow pulled out a dozen identical staffs. Under Asher's astonished gaze, she wielded the staff and continued, "I hope that person can eat all of these... or rather, absorb the magic within them." After speaking, she glanced at Asher, who was still in "shock," and let out a "Tch" of annoyance. Bad luck. I didn't expect to encounter such an unlucky thing the moment I came to this world, actually being forcibly kissed by a strange man.
Scathach remained silent, looking at Skadi, who was about to leave, and slowly spoke, "If you mean you're looking for someone who can absorb the staff's essence, then I think the person you're looking for is right in front of you."
Skadi's steps, which she was about to take, paused slightly. She slowly turned her head to look. "Where is the person you're talking about?" she said, her gaze falling on Scathach. Upon seeing Scathach point to the young man beside her, she casually glanced at Asher and then averted her gaze.
"You're saying your disciple is the person I'm looking for?" Skadi pursed her lips. "There's a limit to jokes. If he were that person, he should be able to absorb the staff now. Also, that being would never act so rashly. Who kisses someone the moment they meet..." Skadi's voice grew softer and softer as she watched Asher grab the staff from her hand, and the magic clearly draining from it. Her eyes slowly widened.
Scathach's lips curled slightly. Although she had been acting nonchalant since the beginning, Scathach was still quite angry to see her beloved disciple being looked down upon. Now you wouldn't dare look down on my disciple anymore, would you? Thinking of this, Scathach's gaze fell once again on the woman who looked so much like herself. She saw that Skadi's expression seemed a bit dazed.
"I've finally found you." After a brief daze, as if relieved, Skadi clutched Asher's hand tightly, as if afraid he would disappear if she let go.
Scathach's smile gradually froze. It seems... it seems I said something superfluous...
