Before Norito vs Erito happened...

Sora’s POV

Sora wore a very crooked yet pleased smile on his face. A dark mischievous side of him that he had kept locked away had been re-opened.

Valentine shuddered in fear as she felt something about Sora change – the simple aloof aura that shrouded Sora disappeared and a more sinister aura clouded Sora. Has the devil been awakened?

Having regained his composure, Sora next turned his attention to Valentine.

“You spoke about the about others….are they the ones who take control when I black out?”

“Sora doesn’t love Valentine. He only uses her.”

Not this again! If she was more my of my type then maybe....

“Also, Sora keeps asking the same questions. Valentine does not like being asked the same questions again and again.”

This woman….no vampiress is mad. How the heck am I supposed to remember stuff if there is a curse on me to forget?

“Alright, I won’t ask again but can you please tell me this time? Pretty please Valentine-chan?” Please let pretty blinking puppy eyes work.

“Only if you release me like the others.”

What is she mad?

“How about this I tie them up with you?”

“You lie! Bakukara can’t be nailed like me.”

“Bakukara?”

“The Slime Lord.”

“The Slime Lord?”

“Yes the slime lord! Also he is very ecchi! He comes visits sometimes and does ecchi things to Valentine.”

This conversation is making lesser and lesser sense to me.

Valentine can sense I am skeptical. “You don’t believe me?”

“No, no, I believe, I mean it is completely plausible that a slime monsters soul? resides in my mind and it does ecchi things to you. Is this what you meant by others?”

“You don’t believe Valentine!”

Somehow everything is very hard for me to accept – if I listen and review to her explanation, I understand why I don’t trust this lady – she has the most unimaginative lies ever. I mean if a slime was doing ecchi stuff to her in my mind, how come I never got to watch the show? I think it’s downright unfair that my mind is being rented for ecchi things and I don’t even get to see it. So basically for the mentioned reasoning, I know for a fact she is lying. If I don’t regain control of my senses, I have a really bad feeling of what might happen to me. This woman is only wasting my time to have me killed.

“I believe in you, as much as I believe in slime lord’s existence.”

Valentine replied with a “Hmph…” and looked away. The hatred and cold blooded killer like aura Sora was emitting was tingling Valentine’s senses. She was feeling more attracted to Sora than normal…her reaction towards his question could be better described when comparing small children have crushes on each other; they tend to bully them.

“Fine be like that for all I care…. I’ll figure out how to deal with you later….” Sora could have tortured Valentine for the answer…but he felt she would like that….also she was not the enemy…the Kuro butler was the enemy.

Somewhere far away in Feladonia, the Regent sneezed for the second time – it was an ominous and foreboding sneeze.

***

As far as I remember there was just Valentine….could it be there are others like she said….should I even trust her….

Sora was in a pinch; he was having difficulty assessing his next move.

Just when Sora was about to give up and ask Valentine for help, a green slime casually passed him by…

Sora kept staring at the slime as it went down the ‘Naruto styled’ dungeon corridor as if it had no care in the world.

What the heck is going on here! Sora’s eyes had nearly popped out. Is my mind some kind of a zoo????

Sora was exploding with questions. Why is there a slime of all creatures in my mind? He could accept Valentine’s existence. She was a powerful monster and acquiring her made tactical sense. But why a slime? The more Sora thought about it he had more questions. What other monsters’ consciousness existed in his mind….Sora felt this was the beginning of a new headache.

Had the slime not crossed him, Sora would have decided to wake up, but he quickly changed his decision. He decided he was going to find all the others and get to the bottom of the mystery….why the heck are there so many creatures residing his mind.

Sora did not know this at the time; but he was the one who put them there in the first place.

For now Sora followed the slime. Sora felt this was the ‘Alice in Wonderland’ moment in his life….except the bunny is a slime and the hole is the recesses of his mind. Sora followed the slime; he was brimming with uncertainty – what if this was like the movie, Inception? What if he was stepping too deep and he accidentally entered into a limbo like state by going in too deep? This game was too much of a rip-off of the real world anime, drama, movies and other virtual realities - it was completely possible that it ripped off ideas from the movie 'Inception.'

Despite the risks and dangers, Sora decided to investigate - he had to know the truth. Why the heck is there a slime wandering about as it pleases in his mind. Is Bakukara, the slime lord for real? What other monsters reside in his mind? And what else has he forgotten?
