Chisato's PoV

Right after Sai-san sent us to our own homes, I did my usual routine before going to school. No, it's not [my] routine, but the [human Chisato's] routine.

I went to school, have a chat with my friends when I encountered them, and attended classes. All of these never felt anything unusual to me. It is what [I] do and how [I] act.

But I feel discomfort. The A.I. Sai-san created based from the human Chisato Shirasagi, the lingering personalities from the Primordial Goddess of Light and the Personal Skills of the Archer Servant James Moriarty that is fused to me, and the human Chisato Shirasagi who served as my base. All of them were mixed together resulting to the present me.

To be honest, I'm feeling discomfort due to the confusion on how would I look at myself. The A.I. created to support Sai-san. A lofty, haughty and prideful with extreme tendencies towards removing defects and impurities goddess. The Napoleon of Crime who brews crimes easily as brewing a coffee. And a young actress who joined an idol band and eventually found her goal of finding her own dream.

"Who am I?" I mutter as I look at the clear sky while standing in the rooftop.

The opening of the door was heard and a voice resounded from there.

"It's unusual for you to be here while pondering the answer to such question, Shirasagi-san." Sayo Hikawa walked past the door and spoke to me.

I turned around and look at her. "How about you, Sayo-chan? Why did you come here?"

"I just want to feel the wind. It seems like that you are bothered about something. If you like, I can listen to it. But please don't expect that I can give you an appropriate answer." (Sayo)

"I'm wondering about my own identity. Don't you also have the same confusion, Sayo-chan? Different minds were mixed resulting to our current states. Although Ran-chan and the others will only have their human selves and lingering consciousness of the Primordial Gods mixed, but our case is different. The A.I.s made by Sai-san grown as individuals which making the mixing of personalities much more chaotic." (Chisato)

"Indeed. The A.I. made by Alviria-san is comparable to a blank canvas. Hina and her group will only need to deal with the lingering consciousness of the Primordial Gods fused with them. You were asking if I'm having doubts about myself, right? I did, and I still hold those doubts. But…" (Sayo)

"But?" (Chisato)

"…I decided that I'm Sayo Hikawa. One of Sai-san's allies and Roselia's guitarist." (Sayo)

"That answer sounds like just you." (Chisato)

"I know that this is not sufficient since you need to find your own answer. Allow me to tell you a guess of mine. Shirasagi-san, do you think Sai-san didn't know the deal with Minato-san and Alviria-san before it was told to him?" (Sayo)

"What do you mean?" (Chisato)

"Sai-san possess the Eyes of Heaven Skill. No matter what time, regardless of distance, and even if we're in different worlds, he can still observe us with that skill. And if Sai-san doesn't want the fusion of our A.I. and human selves, he can stop it easily." (Sayo)

"Even if he knew it, I think he will respect our decision and will not interfere. Wait, that's not it…" (Chisato)

"What you're thinking is right, Shirasagi-san. Let's not forget that Sai-san has Distorted Love Skill which came from his own conflicted and twisted mindset. He respects our choices, and even if we did betray him, he will still love us without holding any resentment towards us. But he will take us back and use any methods to make us stay with him [with our own wills]. Well, the possibility of us betraying Sai-san is non-existent in the first place." (Sayo)

"Let's go back to the topic. My guess is that Sai-san let the fusion happened." (Sayo)

"But why did Sai-san will let that happen? Our A.I. selves are very similar to our human selves. Doing that will just be redundant." (Chisato)

"[I am alone and miserable; man will not associate with me; but one as deformed and horrible as myself would not deny herself to me. My companion must be of the same species and have the same defects. This being you must create.] Mary Shelley's Frankenstein." (Sayo)

"That's…a quote from Frankenstein and also one of the functions of Sai-san's Minus which is also named Frankenstein." (Chisato)

"Yes. I am thinking that Sai-san is on the same, no, possibly much worse situation than us." (Sayo)

"Sai-san let it happen so that we will experience the same confusion…? So that he will have us become monsters with the same dilemma as him?" (Chisato)

"As for your problem of identity, Shirasagi-san, only you can decide your own identity since it is your identity to begin with, not others. That's all I can say. The rest is up to you, Shirasagi-san." (Sayo)

Strangely enough, I am not angry. Normally, anyone would be seething in anger if this happens to them.

A selfish man put me in the situation where I cannot even recognize what am I? I somehow understand a fraction of his suffering.

Sai-san was alive for millions and billions of years suffering in the same problem. He did have Kyoko-chan the entire time, but seeing their current situation, I doubt Kyoko-san knows Sai-san's problems.

During that long time of existence of questioning yourself of what you are? Days are enough to wear me out, just imagine billions of years.

It is because I want to understand Sai-san more. I want to know his problems so I can help him with them. I have no idea how serious his problems, but I want to do everything I can for him.

That's right. Even after having different personalities mixed inside me, my love for Sai-san didn't disappeared or became disordered.

Upon that realization, everything became clear to me, just like this azure sky.

At first, I'm confused which identity will I choose. However, that was my mistake. There's no need to choose. It's more efficient to utilize these different personalities to support Sai-san.

James Moriarty's Skills has affected my mind because they have traces of James Moriarty's personality. It is possible that my personality will change into the one that James Moriarty has.

The same can be said to the lingering personality within the Primordial Light Goddess' Core that became one with me which made me the Primordial Goddess of Light.

Since they are lingering personalities, I can still shape them to fit me.

I will dye these personalities with my love for Sai-san so that even if they took over me, they will still be useful to Sai-san.

"I feel much better now. I guess I owe Sayo-chan a favor." A gentle breeze pass through me as if to congratulate me in finding my answer.

To imitate Sai-san, I speak that one line I remembered he said before. "[What is done out of love always takes place beyond good and evil.] Friedrich Nietzsche's Beyond Good and Evil."

"Love, huh. It's truly a wonderful thing. You can't help but endlessly sink deeper and deeper."

Sai's PoV

As Anshin'in-san is clinging to me in the hallway when Miu was walking in the hallway and saw us.

"Sai-san and Anshin'in-san. What are you doing here?"

"Cuddling with Sai. Do you want to join in, Miu-chan? Sai is so soft, feels cold, and fragrant. Hugging him is very comfortable." (Anshin'in-san)

"Geez, you two. There's nothing wrong in being lovey-dovey, but this is the hallway."

I escaped Anshin'in-san's grasps and stand behind her. "Well, I was about to go somewhere. Want to go with me, you two?"

"There's nothing for me to do here, so I'll go with you." (Anshin'in-san)

"I will go as well." (Miu)

I grabbed a book from my House of Sublime Wisdom. 「Home of Sublime Wisdom: Space-Time Tome, Group Teleportation」

From Pocket Mansion, I teleported the three of us on a nameless graveyard. There are no other people in the graveyard besides us.

"What a gloomy place. A poor choice of location for a date, Sai." (Anshin'in-san)

"I did say that we are going somewhere, but I didn't say we are going on a date." (Sai)

"What will we do here, Sai-san?" (Miu)

"Nothing special. By the way, Miu-san, how was the one year you spent with us?" (Sai)

"It was fun and warm. Training with everyone, doing household chores together, and living with everyone makes me happy!" (Miu)

"I see. I'm glad that you felt that way." I approached Miu and held her face with my hands. "But did you know? That tranquil and peaceful life we had in that one year is the result of me killing the other testers besides myself."

"Eh?" (Miu)

"If I didn't kill them, I'm sure that our one year during the Examinations will be so chaotic and stressful. And in the future, in order to prolong that fun life, we are living, all of us will need stain our hands. Let me tell you why did I brought you here, Miu-san. It is to make you choose." I removed the seals on Miu's memories that I placed before.

"Sai-san, what are…you…" Miu was about to fall to the ground and I caught her before she did fall.

After a short while, Miu moved away from me and stand on her own. Her demeanor is different from the Miu moments ago. From gentle and airheaded, she changed to cold and sharp.

"Why did you return my memories?" (Miu)

"I did tell you; I want you to choose. But before that, I want you to read something." Volumes of manga appeared from my hand. I created them with my Creation Skill.

"Those are…?" (Miu)

"Manga. You could say that this is where you came from, Miu-san. The title of these manga is History's Strongest Disciple. Try reading it and you will understand." I handed over the manga to Miu and she read it without complaining or asking.

As Miu read the manga, her expression became more serious.

"So, in this manga, I was saved by Kenichi Shirahama, become married to him and built a happy family with him. But what happened to me is that I killed him and completely became a killing machine. After that I killed my grandfather, my father, and everyone in the Ryozanpaku."

Anshin'in-san sits on a grave and comments. "If we put it in simple terms, the Miu-chan in that manga is Batman and the Miu-chan with us right now is Batman Who Laughs. It's tough when you became a result of a bad ending possibility."

"What does it have to do with making me choose something?" (Miu)

Created a chair using creation and I sat on it. "Let me get to the point. Miu, I have to options for you. First, is that I can find this world that followed the plot of this manga. Then, I will kill the Miu of that world and make her take her place. I will erase your bad memories from before your first kill up to this point. And you can live happily ever after."

"The second is, you can stay with us, but it is inevitable that you will kill people or other living beings again. That's why I must have you retain your bad memories." (Sai)

"All I need to do is stay in my current state, right? I pick the second option." Miu answered casually, naturally, and without any hesitation.

I fell from my chair and was surprised. "Huh? Wait, wait. Why did this go so smooth? Just as when I was expecting that you will resist since you remembered that warmth from your family, then you went and choose the second option that fast?!"

"Why are you angry?" (Miu)

"Miu-chan, the reason for that is, Sai wanted to corrupt you himself. That's why he sealed your memories and return you to your state before you became Indah Bulu. He was expecting that after you regained your memories, you will fight for justice and kill Sai since you know how evil this guy is. And Sai will enjoy tormenting you like a villain before overwriting your mind."

Miu shifted her gaze from Anshin'in-san to me and speaks. "Should I start resisting now?" She asked with a nonchalant expression and a slight tilt of her head.

"There's no need. It won't be fun anymore. I'll just save the tormenting when I'm already on Fairy Tail world. Anyways, how did you make that decision so fast without any second thoughts or hesitation? The possibility of encountering Kenichi Shirahama and the Ryozanpaku that you killed before exists. And once that happen conflict is sure to happen. Not due to hatred, but their aim will be saving you." (Sai)

"I already told you the answer to that before." (Miu)

"Is that so. Being redundant is not good so let's get a move on." (Sai)

"Still, why are we here in this graveyard?" (Miu)

"No special reason. The Miu before she become Indah Bulu or the Miu who became Indah Bulu. One of the two will cease to exist after what will happen here. And death has similarities with non-existence, although they are not exactly the same."

Anshin'in-san stands from the grave and removed the dirt on her clothes with her skills. "So, it was the Miu-chan before she become Indah Bulu is the one that being left in this graveyard, huh."

"I see." (Miu)

"Let's go back. I suddenly felt motivated to plan for some world domination of a different world." I decomposed the chair and manga with a Spell Tome from my House of Sublime Wisdom and teleported the three of us back to the Pocket Mansion.

When we arrived at the hallway where we are previously, it happens that Shigure was walking there.

Shigure stopped her steps and speaks to us. "Sai-sama, and Anshin'in-san…Miu?" She paused speaking when her gaze was turned to Miu. Upon realizing something, she continues. "Were your memories was returned to you?"

"Yes, Shigure-san. I'm also prepared to-" (Miu)

Miu was speaking when Shigure interjects. "I have no such intention. It's not because sentimental attachment, but simply because I don't care about it."

"I see."

"Still…" Shigure walks towards Miu and hugs her. "…I'm glad you are back regardless of changes you underwent. Welcome back, Miu."

Miu embraces Shigure back and replies. "Me too. I'm glad to see that you are also on Sai's side."

Ø Path of Relentless Progress (EX)

- Active Effects

· Laboratory [A special space that the skill holder controls. The time conversion in the Laboratory can set by the skill holder. The limit of the time conversion is 1,000,000 years spent in the laboratory is 1 second in reality.]

· Home of Sublime Wisdom [All knowledge and memories of the skill holder is stored here. Everything that is stored will never deteriorate. This library also contains spell tomes that comes from the endless knowledge of the skill holder with regards to magic and spells. The spell tomes can be summoned or activated inside the library. The usage of spell tomes will not consume mana. They don't have casting time or cool down.]

I'm here to discuss about the Active Effects of this particular skill. Since Sai got so many skills, I decided to post the list the I will soon finish editing.

Then, let me talk about Laboratory. Anyone would know that this is a broken version of Hyperbolic Time Chamber. No need for further explanation.

What needs of explanation is Home of Sublime Wisdom. That skill is just like a library in Sai's mind. The knowledge and memories are stored in there in an organized manner. The difference it makes is that, Sai can take out these knowledge and memories in solid form.

About the spell tomes. Let's just say that Sai's magic mastery and spell casting reached to the point that he no longer need mana, no casting time, no cool down, and he can even activate as many spells as he wants.

If you're asking if he needs to summon the spell tome to use it, the answer is no. There's no need since Sai can just use the spell tomes even if they're inside his head.

Then, why Sai summons them? Sai is just adding special effects when he is spell casting.

Oh! Magic Mastery and Spell Casting, huh. I suddenly got an idea for my original novel.

Anyways, you can just think of it as the usual BS skill. As for the Skill List of Sai, I decided to do an overhaul to Sai's Skills.
