Chapter 872 Riveria’s Arrival part 2

'I don't see anything wrong with her, but she's still taking her time to recover.', Sakura thought after nursing Riveria for half an hour, 'It might have something to do with her physiology being incompatible with this place, or the level reset that I'd heard about. Either way, I don't have any idea what that could mean, since I've never been on that side so I can only have Kisuke look after her.'

Even now, Sakura was already risking Riveria's health because she still couldn't provide the antibodies she needed due to her weakened state. With that in mind, Sakura decided that she should have a proper place to rest first before anything else. While she could use a room within the Mars base, she couldn't leave the Belial Mansion for too long due to the eyes watching her thanks to her not-so-amazing past. And she can't exactly leave her alone here nor ask someone else to come to this place, compromising its security and secrecy, 'It's a good thing that we always prepare a sterilized room in case of an emergency.'

While Sakura was contemplating her next steps, Riveria once again looked up to her and thought, 'That pale blonde hair... Is she his sister?' Never in her dreams was the Human looking girl a lot older than her, 'But what is this place... It's so bright and white. It's similar to what Tenestra described. Are we inside that tower she's talking about?'

After plotting her next course of action, Sakura gestured for Riveria to stand up and follow her to exit the room, which thankfully, Riveria was able to understand.

Sakura supported Riveria until they reached another room with another set of Teleportation Circles.

It didn't take too long until they'd reached the Belial Mansion.

"How is our guest?" Cleria asked Sakura, who'd just come back after providing Riveria anything she needed and leaving after she had finally gone to sleep.

Sakura sighed as she sat down, "I can only ask Kisuke once he returns to properly check up on her."

"Oh? Even you, who's a medical expert, can't check her?"

"I did, but there are too many unknown things that I can't give any suitable conclusions and treatments. In the first place, it may have something to do with her Soul, but that's unknown territory for me. In face of that, I'm just a quack that will give the wrong prescription."

"Did you at least give her the language comprehension pill?"

"I didn't. I feel that it's too risky so I didn't give anything to her, including the antibody maker."

"Alright. I'll ask someone to periodically cast a purification spell in the room for the time being."

"No. Please only do that one or two times before switching to the isolation barrier. It might be bad for her if the room is too clean. Just purify the air that's coming in and out. In the meantime, I'll deliver the food and anything she needs. I want to continue watching her condition."

"Understood. I'll also send a message to the Sitri House regarding her status."

"Please send one to Kisuke too regarding her condition. We can't have her stay in that room for too long."

It'd been a whole day ever since she arrived in this Mansion, but Riveria's confusion only grew further and further. First of all, she doesn't know how to make sense of this place primarily because the sky was purple in the daytime.

Walking up to the window, Riveria saw the lively town surrounding the mansion. While most of them were Human, there would occasionally be individuals that have a pair of black bat wings sprouting behind them and using them to get around. Sometimes, there would even be people who have black feathered wings interacting with others and people possessing blue skin, 'Xenos...? But there's something inherently different. Just what is this place?'

Touching the window, Riveria tried to open it but there seems to be a spell that prevents her from doing so and it was the same as the door, 'Did I make a mistake somewhere?' Without knowing what was going to happen to her, Riveria became nervous, 'Worst of it, I can't communicate... Even though the Gods were supposed to have unified the language throughout the whole world, leaving only a bit of dialect for remote places.'

Thankfully, there was a silver lining. The only person who had been entering her room and taking care of all of her needs, Sakura, doesn't seem to intend to harm her and would always have an apologetic expression on her face. If not for that, she would have already tried escaping this place.

But just as she sat on her bed, a new visitor appeared out of nowhere, and it was someone familiar, "Ophis!?" She called out to the little girl in an outrageous outfit that suddenly materialized in front of her, "How did you appear here?... Wait... You're Kisuke's companion so it shouldn't be that strange. But you're also here, huh. In that case, it looks like I wasn't teleported to the wrong place."

But the little girl's words only confused Riveria, "...I'm Ophis, but I'm not Ophis. My name... Lilith."

Riveria tilted her head and repeated her name, "Lilith? So you're not Ophis? Are you her twin?"

Lilith went silent to think about her words for a bit before giving up and nodding.

'What a weird way to say you're her twin.' Riveria thought while asking, "But how did you know me? Or did I meet you without knowing you're Lilith?"

Lilith shook her head, "Heard from the other half."

But before Riveria could ask any further questions, Sakura knocked on the door and entered the room while carrying food, "[Riveria-san, your lunch is ready. Hmm? Lilith? What are you doing here?]"

Lilith tilted her head while replying, [...Greeting?]

Sakura placed the tray on the table, [Wait. Could it be that you could understand her?]

Lilith quietly nodded.

Sakura became happy, but only for a moment because it was Lilith. If she were to use her as the translator, she's worried that her words may be conveyed incorrectly so a full conversation about where she is shouldn't happen with Lilith in the middle with her lack of common sense. Even then, Sakura would finally be able to tell her that she shouldn't be worried and Kisuke is coming within a few hours.

Even though she didn't want to, Riveria couldn't help but be excited when she heard Kisuke was finally coming. Whether it's due to her anxiety or something else, Riveria didn't want to think about it, 'I'm going to regret it if I were to think about it. Definitely.'
