Leveling Up with My Adorable Monster Girl Harem!

Chapter 75 Fight Your Past

Chapter 75: Fight your past

"Morning."

Louise heard someone's voice, which sounded pretty similar to hers. But she didn't want to open her eyes, for she feared she would confirm that she had disappeared from her master's life. Yes, though it won't last long, Louise was gone from Leon's life, leaving him with the vampiress.

That brought so many conflicting feelings that Louise didn't know what to think.

"Ah, don't be so petty. You've saved him…" The woman's voice prompted Louise to reveal her eyes, for she was right!

And as Louise looked at the woman of the same ears, eyes, and tails as her, she jumped out of her lap pillow and somersaulted away.

That woman was too similar! The difference was that she was taller and her face was much sharper, not as adorable as Louise's baby face. She had her hair wrapped in many hair spins, too. Moreover, she had nine tails! Because she wore a long yukata of nine suns, Louise doubted that she was her, for how could she fight with such clothes?

She wouldn't be able to kick people, right?

"Are you me?" Louise felt like she twisted her tongue saying those words.

The woman chuckled and shook her head. "Not you that you're thinking of."

She stood up and revealed that her style was also similar to Louise's, owing to long slits on the sides of her robes, which surely allowed her to actually kick people straight into their faces! And with such long and beautiful legs, that girl's range was what Louise dreamed of.

"You'll learn about yourself and me in the future. Sadly, once you return to Leon's side, you will no longer remember our meeting. I'll spare introductions and help you regain what you've lost, at least a little bit of it." The woman stepped to the side and revealed what had been hidden behind them.

It was a heart.

But that heart was chained, with many of them coiling around it. Those chains were crystal and forcefully planted around that organ.

Louise didn't need that woman to tell her that.

"You remember twenty-three years of your life. Am I correct?"

"Yes."

"So these are the next."

The beautiful woman pointed at the crystal chain, whose ends had been irregular, as though someone had bitten on them. But they were like that because Louise had recalled some of her memories without any crystal memory! And now, she started to understand what actually happened to her.

"It's dangerous to unlock memories in the wrong order. I'll make sure you properly unlock them. Once you break that chain, you'll learn the next one hundred years of your life, up to one hundred and twenty-three's birthday. That's the time when you had developed your killing intent."

Those memories would reveal the cause of Louise's cold eyes and her battle experience.

"You'll face your past… Take your time."

Louise knew she could lose herself against those memories and become an utterly different person. It'd be best to properly assimilate and remember that time, but the fantasy world had its own rules.

Both girls were aware of it.

Thus, Louise decided to properly think of her time with Leon. She spoke aloud, not minding the other party listening to her, for she'd said Leon's name already.

And as Louise reached the end, she looked up and asked the woman. "You know my master's name! What do you think of him?"

"I'm disappointed." The woman immediately replied, her words worrying the scarlet fox. "He should cuddle more with you."

"Ah…" Louise blanked, then crossed her arms and nodded a few times. "I agree!"

Feeling the great support from her, Louise skipped her way closer to the heart. Both girls stared at it from a close distance, mentally preparing for the next event.

Louise narrowed her eyes and clenched her little hands. "That dragon shouldn't have aimed for Master. I don't know why she did it, but we need more strength. I won't lose against myself!"

The woman smiled faintly, then shed some light on Leon's situation. "That dragon has seen through Leon's identity. She knows about his peak humanity's body. It's deep in their blood, for five human ancestors with peak humanity bodies had stolen too precious stuff from the dragons."

"Really?" Louise wheeled and asked with big eyes.

"The human's greed knows no bounds. In this case, they're similar to dragons. Dragons… It serves them right… But, their fall made humans more arrogant… The next successors of peak humanity bodies believed they could own the whole world and even beyond…." The woman pointed at the crystal chains. "They tried numerous times to steal sun… But everyone failed to own that power. Those crystal chains are proof of it. You don't need crystal memories to get back what's yours, Louise.

"Those crystals have copied memories — the real treasure is within you. At most, those crystal pieces will help you to faster get rid of those chains. You have what it takes to melt those chains… Your heart has been kindled. And that heart is proof that a peak humanity's body is not enough to seize everything."

Louise shivered from ecstasy as she heard those words.

She learned more about herself. Of course, that would be soon forgotten, but she would also leave with more memories. To safely return to her master's side, Louise swore to work hard in her absence!

She'd still aim to find those crystals, the fastest path to her real self. But just the fact alone that she could achieve everything alone, with the help of her master and friends, had sown so much confidence into her that Louise's tails flared up, and her body burst out with flames again.

The woman warmly looked at her and commented. "Leon has just activated your power. With your mana intertwined, you ought to grasp that moment and fight your past!"

Indeed, the whole dark room turned hotter.

Louise nodded and clenched her little fists, and sparks flew out from her skin.

At the same time, Leon, whose body changed because of Louise's power within him, uttered the legendary skill. "Nine Fire Spirits Art."

He wanted to torment that dragon by repeating what Amaterasu had done in the past.

He wanted to stuff that dragon in the sun!

The woman of nine tails smiled faintly. "I'll help you with that."

And thus, she'd help both Louise and Leon.
