The Dragon'S Blue Gem
(S3) Chapter 171 [First Incorporation (4) ]

Ruby's status, rarely seen by herself, is now clearly displayed in front of her and Mika. The angel woman looked at Ruby who looked confused with an amused smile.

"Halo~ do you hear me?" mika asked in a carefree tone while waving her fingers in front of Ruby's face.

"!"

Ruby flinched, while her mind was distracted by her sudden status and the opening of a strange tittle that had always made her curious all along.

"Ah, yes." replied Ruby still confused.

Mika smiled gently, "You must already know who I am, so I don't need to introduce myself, do you?"

Mika's question was only answered by Ruby's nod. "Then we can get straight to the point, because our time is limited" said Mika.

"I know there's a lot you want to ask. Take it easy, I'll answer everything I know later. First of all, have you met Airella?"

Ruby tilted her head, "Ai..rella?"

"Black-haired girl and black eyes that can turn into many forms. Because her name was so many, so I decided to just call her Airella. After all it is not wrong, because he is the bearer of first to fifth life memories," Mika replied.

Of course Ruby remembered it, she met the strange girl just a moment ago. "It."

Mika smiled in relief, she stroked Ruby's head gently.

"Then be thankful. No wonder you got in here."

Somehow Ruby felt upset, she did not like being treated like a child, especially by Mika, even though she herself did not know the reason. After gently brushing off Mika's hand, Ruby said something. "Can you please explain the truth to me? Neither the girl nor the others gave a complete explanation which just made me even more confused."

"Hmm. sure. I told you I'd explain to you anyway. But if it's clear from the beginning it must be long. Please think about which one you want to know the most, okay? Because we don't have much time," Mika replied with a gentle smile.

Ruby nodded again, she thought for a moment. Trying to summarize the things he most wanted to ask.

"......."

When Ruby needed time to think, Mika flipped her body and leaned against the balcony railing. He looked up at the beautiful night sky from there. Ruby certainly doesn't know, but this place is one of the places Mika likes the most. This is the place where my beloved lived for 10 years. Yes, the place that Ruby came to was a mirage from Mika's memory of Mika's simple house and Aqua at the base of the dungeon.

"I've made up my mind" Ruby said, awakening Mika.

"So? What do you want to ask?" ask Mika kindly.

Ruby frowned, "My first question, how did you get to know me? And what's your relationship with Airella?"

Mika's eyes twitched slightly, "Pfft... ahahaha, you call that one question? Alright, fine..."

Mika sat on the balcony railing and led to the boundless ocean in front of her. "I have also been visited by Airella. He also saved my life once, although it was different from the way you were given the memory of the fifth life."

"That's why, thanks to that, I can call Airella once in a while."

"Of course after the recollection of my time repetition returned," his inner self.

"Before I fell into a coma, Airella came to me and told me that my incomplete soul would be destroyed if I did not soon find another part of my soul, so I have to find her before I reach my limit."

Mika turned to Ruby with a smile, "But despite knowing that, I did nothing and ended up completely comatose. Sorry to bother you all."

"Then about how I knew you. As long as I was in a coma, Airella and I were always watching you from the T-junction. Of course I didn't mean to peek at you or anything like that. It's just that Airella told me to pay close attention so I could get to know you better."

Just from that brief explanation, Ruby was able to understand the outline of the story.

"From your words..and everything that has happened to me lately...including my status change...are we actually the same person? That's why Aqua and the others insist on asking for my help to save you?"

Mika nodded slowly, "Right."

"Ha~ahhh... briefly... let my brain process first!" ruby said while holding her head that began to turn dizzy.

"My guess is right that we're the same person. This fact connects all the confusing things that have happened to me all this time. According to Airella, Tiara is the fifth life. Now the sixth life. It means we're both Tiara, but she just brought her form and I just brought her memories..."

Ruby's feelings were mixed. But since he had expected it, he was not as shocked as he had imagined. Or maybe even because of its nature as a strong, calm and level-headed Tiara that Ruby can stay calm and not panic first.

Ruby's tired eyes glanced at Mika who was worried about her.

"Second question. What's my way of saving you by rejoining yourself?"

Mika flinched, she did not think Ruby would be so quick to draw conclusions. Which conclusion is very well on target again. "Yes..."

Ruby did not budge, she closed her eyes and took a deep breath in order to maintain her composure. "Third question. What will happen to you if I refuse to join?"

Mika's smile faded somewhat, she was a little confused as to what to answer. "Maybe... I'm just going to disappear? No reincarnation or going to heaven or hell."

BRAAAKKK

Ruby could not maintain her composure once she heard Mika's reply. He kicked out the window and made a loud noise.

"IF NOT FOR AQUA AND THE OTHERS LOOKING FOR ME FOR YOU, WOULD YOU JUST BE SILENT WAITING FOR DEATH JUST LIKE THAT!!!??"

Mika did not expect Ruby would be that angry. Mika thinks Ruby will only consider her a stranger. Even though she and Ruby were the same person, still. Before this they had never talked at all.

Somehow even though Ruby's emotions peaked, Mika actually felt a little happy to hear Ruby scold her. "I can't possibly force you to join if you don't want to, can I?"

"What we're talking about now isn't as trivial as asking for a little blood or something. If we join forces, you might not be who you are now completely, you know? Normally people wouldn't want that to happen."

Ruby was getting annoyed at Mika's reply. He wanted to once again yell at the woman, yet he held back. A very heavy breath he let out in front of the woman.

"Why did you decide that even before you met me!?"

"Third question. What would happen if I agreed to join?"

"If you agree, of course we will merge into one. The moment it happened, my nearly shattered soul would regain its stability. The memories that we both have will become one, it weighs a little on the brain and makes a momentary daze. But not dangerous. On the other hand, it is not just memory that becomes one. Strength, physical appearance, skill, level, tittle and some other things will also be fused," Mika replied.

"......."

Ruby tried to digest all that. There was a fight with him for a few minutes.

".... Fourth question. What else and you yourself agree that we're joining?"

Mika nodded, "For sure. I just agree. Because all my life it felt like there was something empty inside of me. No matter who I meet, it will never be complete. I also only found out the reason not too long ago."

"So that felt it wasn't just me, huh. The soul is incomplete. strange empty feeling.in fact it feels there is a trait that Rubylia Arsilla never had. Is it because that gentle, calm and mature nature of that run into Mika all?" inner Ruby.

"Before I ask you the last question. I want to say something first" Ruby said.

"Sure, please."

"Si Airella says you have a lot of information I don't know, including my sister's whereabouts. I. I want to find my sister. Tiara's sister, Syam's sister, broke her promise to me. I want to punch him as soon as I find him. Even if we join again later, I will not lose my identity as Tiara and Ruby. I will continue to fulfill my purpose no matter what."

Mika's eyes slightly widened, "That's what she means..."

Ruby had already steadied her heart. Actually he had already established his heart that this kind of thing had really happened since the first time he had met Mika in the Aqua mansion.

"Fifth question. Do you have no problem losing your love for Aqua if we join later? Don't you mind if 'me' chooses to leave him to find brother later? Don't you mind if my memory as Tiara will dominate later?" ruby asked with a confident smile.

Mika was speechless, honestly her feelings were complicated at the moment.

"I'm..."

"I'm the one who should be asking that," Mika replied no less confidently.

"Rubylia Arsilla, don't underestimate me! The main reason I hesitated to join and hesitated to force you, was all because I knew that it was my memory that would dominate!"

"Seeking brother? Leaving Aqua? Pfft.. ahahahaha, very funny. It was all impossible to happen," Mika laughed until her eyes shed small tears.

Ruby, "💢"

"Oh yeah? Let's see it later!!" pissed Ruby.

"......."

Mika smiled back, "Hey. You certain? After joining, we won't be able to come back, you know?"

"Originally you know. My memory contains a lot of important information that will immediately answer all your questions. It can also make you lose your purpose. Although you will also get a new goal, anyway."

Ruby let out a small sigh, "That's not all a problem at all. It's good that all the questions you haven't answered now can be answered. About the purpose, if it disappears it means it has been granted, right? It's good, dong."

"Heh. Your nature is also welcome," Mika's taunts make Ruby again upset.

"Who is happy too!? I decided this after thinking it through, you know!? From pure Ruby joined Tiara's memory. And from that merged with Mika's memory, there would be no difference."

"Will not regret it, will you?" fashion Mica.

"No way!!!"

"So you want it or not!!? It seems like you are the one who will not join! 💢" growled Ruby.

Mika giggled amusedly, "Does it look like that?"

"Bangett!!"

"Ahahahahaha..then forgive me."

It's very strange indeed. Though this is the first time Mika and Ruby met each other in a conscious state. This was their first time talking too. But somehow, they felt from the beginning that they could trust each other. From the beginning they felt attracted to each other. From the beginning they felt comfortable with each other, although on the other hand it was also a little uncomfortable. The strange feeling that makes those who are just meeting can feel as if they have known each other for hundreds of years is what is able to unite them.
