Millennium Tension

Chapter 89: Clarify Suspicions

Aizen came to the conclusion that the Great Sect seemed somewhat wary of something, and for all that entered into the hidden realm in this first batch it was just like an experimental team.

He began to think of the strange behavior experienced by the cultivators that these six girls described earlier, never once experienced by Axel or the entire unit exploring the hidden realm. Even the AI unit that Axel had sent didn't get any similar reactions.

The strange reaction, the sinister gates with an evil aura, the tight protective runes, the ancient ruins, Lin Yu's fear, and the bad premonition felt by Axel were taken into consideration. Something big is bound to happen soon, and the great sect along with the cultivation world is investigating it.

'Axel, you're not hiding anything important from me, are you? Tell me, where are you now? Could it be that some of the worst things I'm thinking about right now will happen?'

'Brother Aizen... I'm scared, somehow. Please don't continue.' Ana shuddered a little knowing what Aizen was thinking with their system. Aizen did not answer but immediately took her hand and grasped it tightly.

Axel sighed slightly after knowing Aizen's thorough thinking and already understood what he meant.

'To be honest, I must wait for you and Sister Ana to reach [Rank 4] to share our memories, Master Aizen. I want to share my memories which can't be stored in the database for some reason. I know what you are worried about, but please believe me. I am always here with you and will always be there.'

Axel said it sincerely because she was aware of this. She does everything to earn Aizen and Ana's trust when she finally manages to bring them back to life.

Aizen's soul is very special and will soon come to suspicion if it comes as he tries to plan far ahead and come up with countermeasures for various unexpected things.

Because of that, she really shares everything as soon as possible to earn his trust. Despite Axel's current abilities, she only wants to be with this small family and doesn't want to think complicated things after successfully completing her main priority, namely reviving Aizen and Ana.

'Sigh... I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings. I'm just thinking too far ahead of the possibilities, and I don't want you to be in any of those bad possibilities.'

Seeing that Axel is getting sad, Aizen also takes her hand and grasps it tightly. Even though he knew many things were uncertain, at least he could bet everything on Axel.

'Hnn... I knew this was coming soon. I know you more than anything else, Master Aizen. That's why I want to share everything with you... I remember the first question you asked when you first came back to life and saw me. I want you and Sister Ana to see everything from my perspective without any secrets. Even myself when I was still an Impartial AI. I exist because of you, Master Aizen...'

Axel clearly remembers what Aizen thought the first time he was brought back to life and it all started with negative thoughts.

'I trust you. I've died once and Ana is the same. If all you are waiting for is sharing memories of gaining my full trust as when you were an auxiliary unit, then I will do so and want you to know how important your role is from my point of view. I made you from small AI to [Axel Goddess] for no small reason.'

Aizen realizes that Axel's efforts are good because Axel knows her master well. Perhaps the current systems that share many things play an important role in this.

'Hehe... I'll be looking forward to that. Soon we'll open everything up and that applies to you too, Sister Ana.' Axel tries to lighten up the inevitable conversation after it's over and she pulls Ana into the conversation.

'Un. I was prepared for that.' Ana has been prepared for that since she recounted her past while they were at the inn. She is happy that everything is fine.

The conversation in the minds of the three of them was not known by the six girls. The six of them only saw Aizen grab Ana and Axel's hand and hold it after their opinion discussion. It was as if he was comforting his two girls about something.

"Hum, there's no point in thinking too much and drawing conclusions about facts that aren't guaranteed. We'll know when the time comes."

After a few moments of silence, Aizen also tried to calm the six girls who were starting to panic about their inconsequential thoughts about the hidden realm that they thought was waiting for them.

Hearing Aizen's suggestion, Lin Yu and Feng Zhi tried not to think too far about things that might not have happened, but just like the four junior sisters, they no longer considered hidden realms like a treasure hunt.

"Aizen, this is the first time for us to hear of the Trinity Family. Wouldn't your family be great if the younger generation were like the three of you?"

Feng Zhi changed the topic of their conversation which immediately caught the attention of five other absent-minded girls who were very curious about anything about Aizen's group.

"Hmm... Of course, you've never heard of it. Right now, the Trinity Family only consists of three people. Maybe soon there will be a few more people in our family."

Somehow Aizen's answer made the six girls rather happy. They took that statement as a confession, but tomorrow they might be surprised to see some new members there.

Then they continued with small talk without involving complicated and tense information but only shared some insights and jokes from Aizen which made the girls giggled and amused.

"It's time for you to rest well. We don't know what will happen tomorrow." Aizen cut off their conversation.

"Un. We better go rest while we can."

"But who will be on guard?"

"You don't need to worry, the barriers and disguises that have been installed here are more than enough, and here is at least a safe zone. You can rest in peace without worrying for now." Aizen explained to those who were starting to worry.

"Phew... I'm relieved to hear that."

"Thank you for your kind attention."

"Then we excuse ourselves first in sleep."

They took their comfortable sleeping positions with several sleeping utensils near Aizen without being shy of being watched.

They have exchanged pleasant words and opinions without face cover, shared experiences, and even seen each other's bodies.

So, there is nothing to be afraid of considering Aizen's personality. He was not like other men who drool over their beauty and bodies.

'Shall we go rest too?' Aizen turned to look at Ana and Axel.

'Okay.' Axel nodded with a smile.

'Fine, but put me in your lap. I want to sleep in your arms.' Ana is like a spoiled child asking for attention.

'Why is that? Won't I be tingling when we wake up?' Aizen is a little dumbfounded though he doesn't mind.

'Hehe... How could that happen, our bodies are special. Remember the promise you made when you were at the lake? Now please put me on your lap and hug me to sleep.'

Ana smiles sweetly at Aizen and he had no other choice but to comply, even without the stated promise.

Aizen carried Ana to his lap then hugged her to sleep before leaning against the wall. Then Axel with a smile leaned on Aizen's shoulder in the spectacle of the envious girls.
