"I am Aora Thaleix."
"I am the assistant of Goddess Ilelia."
After this, silence descended into the Headmaster's room.
The first one to break the silence was Aora. She looked at me weirdly, she probably thought that I was a believer or the saint of Ilelia.
But claiming the assistant of a Goddess is the most hilarious thing, she must be thinking like 'as if a goddess would need the assistance of a mere mortal'.
"What assistance are you providing to Ilelia?" Aora asked with curiosity.
I looked at Aora with clear displeasure and said:
"Not just Ilelia, it is Goddess Ilelia for you even if you are a demigod."
When I spoke like that, the butterfly of Ilelia perched on my nose and flapped its wing like a whip to slap my cheeks as if it was telling me to calm down idiot.
Aora was taken back for a second after seeing this sight and flashed a smug grin at me.
"Hah! Even your goddess is okay with how I addressed her."
The butterfly flew and perched on my shoulder and pointed at Aora with its 1 wing.
"What?" I asked butterfly.
Butterfly pointed to Aora again.
"I am sorry my goddess I don't understand what you are trying to tell me, please use this and tell me." I said and poured half of my mana into the butterfly.
Gods can't use their power in the mortal realm without paying a heavy price but I assumed that Ilelia can use my mana to do something, as it was my power instead of hers.
Butterfly shined briefly and changed to Ilelia's chibi version.
Chibi Ilelia, who was still on my shoulder, leaned into my ear and whispered:
"Can't you give her the way to be a God?"
Ilelia's attitude towards me was different than before, she was asking me to give Aora, not ordering me.
"I don't trust her, my goddess and I can't give her this kind of knowledge freely. We have some time before the disaster, let's first get to know her after that we can decide if it is okay to give her that knowledge or not." I whispered back and looked at Aora.
Aora was looking at us with amusement and curiosity.
'It seems she can't listen to our conversation. Ilelia must have done something to prevent her to listen us.'
Chibi Ilelia nodded her head with understanding and said:
"I don't have enough mana to maintain this form, do you have anything to ask?"
I lifted 2 of my fingers and said:
"I have 2. Is it alright for me to introduce myself as your assistant?"
"It is okay." Ilelia said calmly
'Is she acting or has her personality shifted again? Because it is simply impossible for her to soften towards me like this with 2 days of observing me.'
I looked at Ilelia hesitantly and said:
"You are looking too cute for me to resist, my goddess. Can I pat your head?"
Ilelia looked at me and her lips were twitching, probably caused by annoyance. There wasn't any sign of like or love in her expression.
'Hmmm, she probably sees me as a person to communicate with, that is why her attitude towards me softened. Seducing her would be hard, as I don't see any love or like towards me in her facial expressions.'
While I was thinking like this, I received a tiny slap on my cheek.
"Impudent!" Ilelia said and transformed back into the ice blood butterfly.
Aora began to laugh after seeing this sight.
"Hahahahaha!"
Aora laughed so hard that tears began to come from her eyes.
A whole minute later she stopped and said:
"A mortal gets along with a goddess, what an interesting and funny thing."
I shook my head in denial and spoke with a sad tone:
"Nope. My goddess for some reason dislikes me."
"It didn't look like that to me?" Aora said.
"Well, the first time I met with my goddess I hardly convinced her to not kill me." I said and pointed to the butterfly with trembling finger.
"So the reason Ilelia is following you is that she controls your actions?"
"Probably. But I am her assistant even if my goddess dislikes me." I said with a clear tone.
When I spoke like this, Aora become bored or I assumed like this as she was about to fall asleep.
I clapped my hands to wake up Aora.
Aora's eyes opened instantly and looked at me.
"Well, I didn't call you just because a goddess following you. I called you because of Flora Sunwillow."
"Okay. So were rumours true?" I said coldly, as if I closed all of my emotions at the moment.
Aora looked at me with interest in her eyes and continued to speak:
"I don't know what students are talking about, but Flora was found in her room in critical condition."
"So? Is she alright now?"
"Well, I can say that she is perfectly fine physically but her soul isn't fine like her body. It isn't certain if she is even able to wake up."
"So you are saying that someone attacked her soul." I said with an understanding tone.
Aora nodded for response and said:
"From what I heard you were very intimate with Flora before she was attacked. Someone from school saw you two while you were kissing in an alleyway."
'Probably Aora was the one who saw us, apart from her no one can escape from Ilelia's eyes.'
"So what? It is nothing to do with this incident." I said coldly.
Aora looked at me with a mischievous smile and said:
"I am just thinking that maybe someone attacked her with intention of hurting you."
"If someone attacked her because of me, they must be a stalker of mine but I don't think that any stalker of mine has any way to attack someone's soul." I said coldly and continued to speak.
"If you have any evidence or something, just say it. If you have nothing, don't play with me just because you are bored."
Aora was taken back for a fraction of a second because of my disrespectful words and opened her mouth:
"I just said my guess, don't be offended like this. I don't want to be in a bad relationship with you."
"If you have nothing to ask I am going." I said coldly and looked into her eyes.
"I have some questions, just answer them and you will be free to go." Aora said.
I nodded and Aora asked me some trivial questions about Flora and our relationship I answered them superficially without giving proper answers and went to my room.
It was time to act like a depressed teenager.
