CHAPTER 205: PROBLEMS THAT NEVER END

"Ok Nyar... sorry to ask more, but why are you here?" I question without understanding why Nyar came to me, it’s quite unusual for her to come and want to talk to me, plus she seems stressed, bothered and extremely irritated.

"Yui, I have something important to say," she says to me as she assumes her humanoid form again and sits in the chair of my office.

"Okay... tell me, do you need me for something?" I question, not knowing if I can help, I’m very busy with work because of my sister, Sayuri has caused me a lot of problems with her curse and these problems have started to increase tremendously.

It has reached such a dangerous level that if Shizune didn’t have an indestructible soul, I would have had to erase her myself, which I have never done in my entire existence, Shizune herself is not the cause of the problem.

As a mere human, she could never generate so many problems, even with support, the problem is her curse, that curse is generating increasingly worse problems while the old ones are growing in size, collapsing everything.

"Look, Yui, I know you’re life, and as such can find and list everything that’s still alive in some way... Nyzzoraleth stole something from me and handed it to an emissary, I need to recover that something, so I want a list of the location of each of her emissaries."

"W-Wait, Nyarlisse, you know that’s against the rules, right? I don’t know what Nyzzoraleth did, but passing the location of each of her emissaries is too serious a matter to just be discussed like this," I say urgently.

"I need it, something important to me was stolen and Nyzzoraleth is very good at running away," she says with an irritated expression.

"But what was it that she stole? And why would she leave that with a random emissary?" When I ask this, she freezes.

"That... is personal, but it’s something important to me," she says, trying to avoid the subject.

’...Lie...’ It’s an obvious lie, I doubt the representation of chaos would give something she stole to a random emissary, I don’t doubt that she stole something from Nyar, but I doubt she would just leave it with someone random.

"..."

"Nyar, you’re not after Nyzzoraleth, you’re after something else, and without knowing what it is, I can’t help you," I tell her to know the obvious, I can’t observe her life to know what she’s after, all those at a certain level block it, leaving everything blurred and dark.

"I can tell you what it is," she says as I decide to listen, depending on the truth I can help, but if it’s something that creates problems, I as a responsible person can’t give her that information.

Knowing exactly where each of Nyzzoraleth’s emissaries are means she could kill them all at once or something similar and thus generate a horrible imbalance throughout existence.

"Nyzzoraleth stole one of my emissaries by force, one of my emissaries that I value the most was stolen and corrupted by her..." She says, pausing for a moment when I raise my hand.

"That sounds... like a lie," I don’t know why, but the way she talks is... bad, it seems more personal, plus I doubt Nyzzoraleth would bother trying to get an emissary to switch sides.

An emissary of love and an emissary of chaos are very different, while an emissary of love could make people fall in love, an emissary of chaos could manipulate probabilities to generate chaotic effects or destructive things.

Summarizing, the huge difference between the two would make everything very difficult, a job that Nyzzoraleth wouldn’t bother to try.

It simply doesn’t make sense, the obvious difference between the two makes everything too suspicious for me.

"Won’t you help me?" She says, no longer containing her anger.

"I’m sorry, but I can’t help you if you’re just lying to me, without knowing the truth, giving you privileged information like this is a serious problem and I can’t take the risk," I say as she thinks.

"You’re trying to solve the problems created by Shizune, aren’t you?" She questions with a smile as I nod.

"Did you know that Nyzzoraleth now has an interest in that girl?" When she says this, I freeze, the thousands of possibilities running through my mind, and they’re all terrible, Nyzzoraleth isn’t exactly the calmest of existences, her loving Shizune would be a problem of incalculable scale.

"...That’s... something I didn’t know, and it’s a possible problem, but I don’t know how that fits with your request," I say to her as she smiles at me.

"The point is that I’m resolving a personal matter, and according to the rules, the emissaries of each are the personal responsibility of those who control them, but this is something that remains secret."

"I can state with absolute certainty that because of Nyzzoraleth, I had to mobilize all my emissaries to look for something, and that something disappeared because of Nyzzoraleth, who now likes this human called Shizune."

"And since she likes chaos, you know well that this is fully possible, I need this information on the location of the emissaries so that I can send my emissaries to check if it is or is not who I’m looking for."

’Who? And not what?... so she’s not looking for something, but someone...’

"You don’t need to provide names, age, or gender, just your list showing exactly where each one is and my emissaries will investigate," she says of the rules, and according to the rules and her request, I really have to help.

’It’s obvious that there’s something more... but these are the rules.’ It’s Nyzzoraleth’s fault for having made Nyarlisse move all her emissaries, I’m neutral and just following the rules.

"I’ll give you that information, but only the exact location and nothing more, you’ll have to verify for yourself," I say to her as I start to manufacture lists and send them directly to her house.

"Thank you, I knew you’d be reasonable," she says with a huge smile.

"Now, please leave... I’m busy, and I have no more time to waste," I say without much politeness, I know there’s something more to this and I can only hope it’s not a problem.

’I’ll have to review the rules so that things like this don’t happen again,’ I can only sigh as Nyar leaves my office satisfied, I also get up and start walking, taking another corridor.

’It’s time to deal with the most annoying problem of all,’ I reach a room that is supposedly the guest room, as soon as I open the room I see the person who is causing me so many problems.

"Sister, shouldn’t you go away? It’s been a few millennia that you’ve been living here and this... is starting to get annoying," I say to Sayuri, who is reading books that would be the equivalent of human dramas.

"Yui, don’t interrupt, I’m at the best part," she says, completely ignoring me, as if the house weren’t mine, as if the room she’s using weren’t mine, and as if the book and snacks she’s enjoying at the moment weren’t mine either.

"It seems you’re doing great and have already recovered from the betrayal, shouldn’t you go away and fulfill your duty?" I say in a tired voice, I can only hope that Shizune summons me soon so I can get out of here and not have to see all this work all the time.

"No! I’m not recovered, that bastard betrayed me like I was a nobody! I’m full of stress and need some time," she says as if 6,000 years of rest weren’t too much.

’Tsk... and what about my stress?’ I’m also stressed, work doesn’t stop coming all the time and all this extra work is Sayuri’s fault and this stupid curse.

"Sayuri, give me that here," I pull the book out of her hand and throw it on the floor.

"Hey!! I was reading!" She says as I look at her with disgust, this has gone beyond the limit.

"Sayuri, enough already!! This has gone beyond all limits, stop causing me problems like a spoiled child," I say angrily.

"If it’s about my curse, know that..."

"No! It’s not just about this curse, it’s about everything, this isn’t the first time you’ve ruined everything, and it’s always me who has to fix it, the number of times this has happened is uncountable."

"Cursing that human was just the drop that made this cursed cup of irresponsibility overflow! You are death, you should be responsible with that, you should understand that your actions have consequences on everything," I’ve had enough of this.

"Okay, enough of this sermon..."

"Get out," I say to her, who is surprised.

"Yes?"

"Get out of my house, I’m tired of you coming to hide from your responsibilities in my house, get out now, you’re no longer welcome," I say with a heavy heart.

"W-WHAT!! Are you really going to kick me out because of a human? He deserved it!! He betrayed me, broke my heart and trampled on my feelings," she says as I slap her face, she only talks about her pain as if I didn’t have mine too.

"..."

"It’s not just about what you did to Shizune, it’s about the real problems this is causing, have you ever stopped to think that he betrayed you precisely because you are the real problem?" I say to her with a voice full of thorns.

"You are irresponsible, arrogant, bossy and think that everything revolves around you in existence, but that’s a lie, you’re not special, existence doesn’t depend solely on you, all beings are important."

"And you step on that as if it’s worth nothing, but the truth is that without me you wouldn’t even exist, now get out of my house before I do something I’ll regret later," I say as she has tears in her eyes, without life, death cannot exist, it’s that simple.

"Okay, I’ll go," she gets up, bumping into me forcefully as she leaves through the door, too arrogant to apologize or see that she’s wrong.

"H-Hick..." I collapse on the floor crying, the stress hitting me full force, why is she like this? Why doesn’t she realize what her irresponsibility does, she’s slowly destroying me.
