~11 min read 2,079 words

Hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, Miss Miss Beiyasi in the darkness turned around. Seeing it was Xia De, she smiled at him apologetically:

"I couldn't sleep a bit at night, so I wanted to watch the rain."

She placed the teacup on the windowsill, her somewhat hoarse voice blending perfectly with the background rain sound:

"Your place is really not bad. I was worried about waking you up, so I came to this room to watch the rain. Usually, I'm always busy, and there aren't many opportunities like this."

"Be careful not to catch a cold."

Xia De reminded kindly, hesitated for a moment, didn't turn around and leave, but walked into the room and also came to the window.

Outside the living room windows of the two rooms was St. Deran Square. Although the gas lights on the square were still on, in this rain, the light of the gas lights could only turn into warm yellow halos, unable to light up the large areas of darkness on the square.

Raindrops were like small tadpoles, swimming densely downward on the window glass in front of him. In the pattering sound, Xia De noticed that there was text written by her with her fingers using the water vapor of the teacup on the glass in front of Miss Miss Beiyasi.

That was not the language of the contemporary era, but before Xia De wanted to see it clearly, it was wiped away by Miss Miss Beiyasi.

"Are you worried about the things tonight?"

Miss Annette was the oldest of the three, and the outsider Xia De had also experienced too many things. Only this 17-year-old girl was slightly green. Xia De was worried that she would have bad thoughts because of the pressure.

"If you say you are not worried at all, that is definitely impossible. But mainly... still considering the matter of the 'chosen one'."

She looked at the window:

"To be honest, I never thought that I would become any chosen one. There will be results tonight. Miss Annette said that I will gain powerful power, and the future path will also become more... magical. She used this word. Maybe I am sentimental, but I am ultimately a bit flustered about such a future."

"Do you want to become a chosen one?"

"Of course."

Her answer was without hesitation.

"Then move forward, don't think too much."

Xia De said. He thought of himself a month ago, and thought of the story he heard in the cemetery yesterday:

"Sometimes, we cannot choose the future we have to face, and we cannot anticipate what kind of situation we will face at all... You can still make a choice, which is already very good. And you are not alone, Miss Annette and I will always be by your side to help you. Besides the two of us, more chosen ones will appear by our side in the future."

He wanted to reach out and pat Miss Miss Beiyasi on the shoulder, but hesitated whether it was polite to touch the young girl's pajamas.

"This is probably really sentimental, Detective... Xia De, don't mind."

She turned her head and smiled at Xia De:

"Standing here watching the rain alone, the mood will really get worse and worse, but you are right, thinking about these things is not as good as planning the arrangements for tonight."

Seeing that she easily adjusted her mood, Xia De didn't know whether his speaking skills had an effect, or whether the other party was strong in the first place.

At this time, he heard a sound at the bedroom door behind him. Turning his head, he saw two glowing things floating in the darkness outside the door. But before he was surprised, the sleepy cat walked in with its short legs.

It probably saw that Xia De hadn't gone back for a long time, so it found its way here. It walked slowly to Xia De's feet and stretched out its right front paw to pull at Xia De's pants a few times.

By the time Xia De held the warm and soft cat, it actually fell asleep again. This cat's life is quite regular, waking up at six o'clock in the morning to urge Xia De to make breakfast. And now, it is still its rest time.

Miss Miss Beiyasi smiled and looked at Xia De holding the cat:

"After all things are over in the future, I..."

"Stop! Don't say such things."

Xia De stopped her from finishing these words at a fast speed, and reminded her very seriously:

"Before doing important things, absolutely don't say similar things."

"Is this some strange superstition? Xia De, Ringed Ringed Shushi cannot be superstitious."

Miss Miss Beiyasi said with a smile, turned around and continued to look at the rain curtain outside:

"I really envy the life you have, quiet, peaceful, and you can hold a cat and watch the night rain in your spare time. Although I am a church Ringed Ringed Shushi, I actually admire your founders of Byron, that thirteen-ring female Sorcerer, the merciful witch, the witch of knowledge, who established her own great cause, and then comfortably enjoyed life, instead of running around all her life... It's not that I chose to become a chosen one, it's that I had to become a chosen one. This is power, this is the price, this is a curse, this is a blessing, this is... balance."

"Does the church seem to know that you are a candidate for the chosen one?"

Xia De asked again.

"Yes, the Church of the Sun I belong to, and the Church of Peace that holds some witch relics know."

"Then after success tonight, will you confess that you have officially become a chosen one from a candidate?"

"Yes, the value of the chosen one's identity lies in the fact that I will be promoted to 13 rings. There is nothing worth hiding. On the contrary, I will use this point to strive for more power and freedom, which will also facilitate cooperation with you and Miss Annette to find more chosen ones. In the future, there will be many opportunities to cooperate with you and Miss Annette."

She showed a gentle smile at the glass. Xia De nodded, but before he could open his mouth to agree, Miss Miss Beiyasi said to herself as if muttering:

"Since that banquet on Sunday night, these days, I have thought in detail about the meaning of so-called balance."

"Any gains?"

Xia De, who was holding the cat, asked softly, and Miss Miss Beiyasi answered directly:

"Understanding the meaning of balance does not have a numerical indicator for me to refer to. Since I became a Ringed Ringed Shushi, I have been exploring my own special abilities. After meeting you, I knew that it was the power of the chosen one. I can use the power of 'balance' to make Ringed Ringed Shushi of a higher level than me have their strength suppressed to be similar to mine."

The day he first saw the "Sun Gun," she used this power to defeat the Ringed Ringed Shushi of 【Mercury Blood】.

"I can use the power of 'balance' to identify the good and evil of others."

So she has few friends. Even without summoning that golden scale, she can instinctively measure the balance of good and evil in a person.

"I can even use this strange power to suppress the power of a powerful 【Relic】 for a short time, keeping the whisper elements and the surrounding enlightenment elements in balance... Of course, this is very difficult, and can only suppress part of the power of the 【Relic】."

But this is already very remarkable. As a second-ring Ringed Shushi, she is really very powerful.

"After that banquet, I deeply thought about the deep meaning of my own power, trying to dig into the essence of power from 'balance' itself, and then... I failed. This power is like drinking water, walking, raising hands, it is the ability I have had from the beginning, but it just needs to be explored step by step. They don't have any meaning, they are part of me, but because of this reason, I understood a very simple truth."

"What truth?"

Xia De asked, and the cat in his arms "meowed," but it was just sleep-talking.

"I am balance itself."

Her gaze moved from outside the window to Xia De, and the two looked at each other at close range:

"All balance is based on me as the benchmark. Power higher than me, I want to lower it; the judgment of good and evil is based on my thoughts; balancing the power of relics is supported by my own enlightenment. Since I am a person favored by the ancient god of 'balance' 【Suspended Judge】, then when I hold the scale, I am the fulcrum of all balance."

At this moment, there seemed to be golden light flickering in her eyes.

But soon Xia De understood that it was definitely not "seeming."

Miss Miss Beiyasi raised her right hand, and the golden color naturally lit up from her palm. Behind her, in the sound of whistles and bells, the life ring appeared in the thick steam.

The light in the palm was connected to the life ring behind her, and the brass-colored wheel ring actually flickered with golden luster at this moment:

"Miss Annette is right, I only used power before, not explored power. Now I can feel it. After the ritual ends, I will completely transform the life ring into golden material, and only then can I be considered to have truly mastered the power of balance."

Her right palm gripped tightly, letting the light in her palm scatter into light spots and drift in all directions.

The rain was pattering. Xia De looked at the life ring behind Miss Miss Beiyasi in a daze. He originally thought that understanding the "power of balance" would be very difficult, but didn't expect that it was only three days, and the other party seemed to have understood everything:

"I thought you would need help, such as dynamic balance."

He smiled embarrassedly:

"The balance I understand is not a line, but fluctuating up and down around a line, so as to form a solid balance. Miss Miss Beiyasi, you are very good."

"You are also very good. How about it, Xia De, how is this power of mine?"

Miss Miss Beiyasi showed it to Xia De excitedly, seemingly wanting him to evaluate:

"I used that 【Witch's Copy Paper】 to copy the balance power I used on myself in front of the mirror. Plus, after thinking about many, many things while watching the rain here tonight, I was able to instinctively have the current realization when answering your questions."

Xia De praised sincerely:

"Very powerful, it's not your power, it's your talent and wisdom that are very powerful."

The outsider has truly seen how unique the "person chosen by fate" is. Compared with Miss Miss Beiyasi, Xia De's Ringed Ringed Shushi path is really too ordinary.

"So, the action tonight will definitely not have any problems."

Letting the life ring behind her disappear, Miss Miss Beiyasi said. But after the excitement, fatigue surged up again, so she could only temporarily say goodbye to Xia De and go to sleep for a while before dawn.

Leaving Xia De alone standing in the empty room, watching the rain in front of the window:

"Divined danger in advance, everyone prepared new power, Miss Miss Beiyasi even only needs one step to fully master the super-standard ability... Under such circumstances, the things tonight, I think there won't be any accidents."

【Do you really think so?】

She asked softly in his ear.

"Although life always has accidents, the plan is so thorough. Even if an accident really occurs, it is not something we can change. Moreover..."

He felt the power sleeping in his soul and life ring, closed his eyes, and directly saw the golden divinity in front of him in the darkness:

"In the action tonight, if something really happens that they can't deal with, I won't be stingy with this drop of divinity."

【Sacrifice a precious drop of divinity for Miss Beiyasi?】

"Sacrifice a precious drop of divinity in order to have one more powerful helper on the road to finding divinity in the future. I, will not do things that I will regret after death."
