... But, hee-hee-hee, Claire, you're the one I really wish to make my woman, not this kid. So, when you're in control of this god-gifted body, I'm going to….' And he grinned goofily.
Seeing his expression, in Vice-Chancellor Kuppo's eyes, it played out as Loki was daydreaming and imagining about taking advantage of Her Grace. But he didn't have a final say in this anymore as the main Consciousness Claire had already decided in this matter. Therefore, he changed his tactics.
"Your Grace, mind if I and Loki Bradworth have a private conversation?" Councilor-Kuppo asked.
"Mmm-hmm, okay! But make it quick…. I don't enjoy staying here inside this confined space that has your old and foul body odor for much longer." Sia Vergil said as she blocked her nose, pressing between her thumb and index fingers.
Bobby was almost about to laugh but hold back as his face became redden because of it.
It was not the same for someone who had always been snooping around Bobby. "Hahaha…." Cynthia burst into laughter and said, "Yes, indeed! Children and fools always speak the truth!"
It was like a chain reaction but hearing her laughter, Bobby, who had successfully suppressed the urge, finally reached its limit and he also burst into a peal of laughter.
Hahaha...hahaha!
It turned out a bit off as Bobby's laughter came a bit late. So, Vice-Chancellor Kuppo glared at him and said, "Boy, what're you laughing at?... You heard the Princess, you and me, quick outside!" And he snapped his fingers and bolted out of the room.
Bobby glanced at Sia, giving a warm smile, and quickly rushed out of the room.
Ba-Dumb! Ba-Dumb!.....
But on seeing his charming smile, Sia's heart started throbbing loudly and then she felt it with her hands and asked naively, and she freaked out about experiencing something she had never experienced before. "What's going on? I think I'm sick… I need to inform about this to Sister Claire."
"My lovely little sister! What's going on? Our heart is beating like a drum, which has never been like this before." A similar voice echoed in Sia's head. This sudden change of emotion woke her up from her slumbering cultivation.
Then Sia Vergil's consciousness mysteriously appeared inside a garden full of daffodil flowers of different shapes and colors. She appeared in the shape of a very adorable 4-year-old and in front of her was a lady who had a similar feature with the full mature body which was sitting inside Kuppo's office.
Yes, this place was the soul-sea-slash-memory-palace of Claire.
"Thank goodness, Big Sister Claire! You're right in time." Sia Vergil cheered happily and jumped onto her and hugged her tight.
And the next second, she wailed and complained like a spoiled brat, "Wah-wah-wah! (sobbing). Claire, I think I'm sick… Please, make this stop. I feel like suddenly I lost control of my body. I've my full strength, but somehow I feel so weak." She bloviated, speaking in a mile-a-minute tone. It was pretty clear that Claire really treated her well, so much that she became this spoiled.
"Wait-wait-wait! It's okay. Nothing bad will happen…. Tell me. When and how did this happen?" Claire asked calmly, and his sugar-coated, sweetened words calmed her down while she padded her head.
Sia Vergil retold her, beginning from the event of the punishment of the Truth Of Banishment Gang's 14 members, all the way to what happened inside this very room they were currently in.
"Before Agent Loki went out of the room, he smiled at me and suddenly my heart gave a muffle 'pang' sound and the next second my heart started pounding like this. I tried many things, breathing rapidly and even calming my mind using the technique you taught me, but it didn't stop…. Wah! I think I'm sick. Please, help me." Sia Vergil ended her story and started another session on a child's tantrums and crying.
"Oh, so that's exactly what happened! Hee-hee-hee, silly girl, you're not sick at all. It's just….just that you like Agent Loki." Claire Sophia said, chuckling, and suddenly, a realization struck her and she whispered below the tone the little girl could hear, "No, I'm wrong! A little girl her age will never have a feeling like that…. It might be because my body must have reacted to him as an adult woman's body reacts to when they met their perfect partner. Hmm, this's the very first time I reacted like this… Then let me go out and see what kind of man my body's reacting to?"
She turned her attention to the little one sitting on her lap and said, "Don't worry, Sia, my darling. Big sister Claire will take care of everything. Now, you can sleep!"
Just after Claire said the word sleep, the little girl went into a slumber.
With a thought, a majestic soft bed materialized out of thin air just before them. She then placed the little girl over the bed and said, looking at her cute and innocent face, "Hmm, she's just a little girl. It must be really hard for her to manage a fully grown lady. But she still managed it somehow. Sleep tight, my little angel!" Then she kissed over her forehead, turned around, and shut her eyes.
The next second, she opened her eyes. She was already in control of her body. But the pounding of her heart had subsided a long time earlier.
But the next second, a smell assaulted her olfactory nerves, and she involuntarily covered her nose. And she whispered under her breath in irritation, "Where the hell little Sia is bringing my body to?..... Eh! I know this smell. It's the smell of that old geezer Kuppo. And judging by that, this place was racked with his smell. This must be his office, or perhaps his personal hotel room."
She then looked around, observing, and she said briskly, "Yeah, it's the office!"
Then she glanced at the door and she further added, "What's taking them so long? Just come back already, so that I can think of a plan to get out of this place as fast as possible…. Hmm, thinking about Loki, I think it'll yield a much better result to act as little Sia and find out all of his secrets. Hee-hee, I'll do that. "
Just at that moment, the door of the room creaked, and Bobby and Vice-Chancellor Kuppo came inside the room.
"Finally, you're here. Alright, Agent Loki, let's get out of here. I can't stay a second any longer here." Claire* said exactly like Sia and scuttled out of the room, the same running style as Sia.
