The dimensional orb had followed Miya through invisibility. This said dimensional orb travels through space and time to spy on others.
Miya started walking away as she yawns and covers her mouth.
"I need a break... using mana requires a lot of energy out of my body..." says Miya as she continues walking.
She turned a corner and then opens up a dimension-traveling gate through [Portal Creation] and walked in, arriving at the Data World.
The dimensional orb had followed her into the corner, but had noticed she disappeared. It disappears in thin air in disappointment.
As Miya arrived in the Data World, she noticed Aurora was sitting there calmly with a smile.
"Hm? Waiting for me I assume?" says Miya confused.
"Hello Miya Katagari, and yes, we've been waiting. This little fairy sized spirit here said we should hang out for today, noticing how you've been out fighting other existences." says Aurora as she smiles.
"Must be exhausting, so let's take a break shall we?" Aurora adds on as she gestures at the empty chair in front of her.
Miya takes a seat and noticed a cup of tea had appeared in front of her. She takes a sip of tea with Aurora and they sit in awkward silence.
"So Miya..." says Aurora, smiling.
"Hm?" Miya continues drinking her tea.
"How've you been? Haven't seen you in a few days." Aurora takes another sip of her tea and puts it down on the table.
"Few days? But it's only been a few hours." says Miya confusedly.
"Oh? I didn't tell you huh? Time flows differently here in the Data World than the outside world, basically an minute is three hours. Time here is pretty warped and distorted." says Aurora as she explains the time flow in the Data World and its differences.
"Huh... sounds comforting to know." says Miya and chuckles.
Aurora glances at Miya, and her giggle had reminded her of the Spirit of Time.
They both take another sip of their cup of tea.
"Hey Miya? It's unusual to hear me say this, but you remind me of the spirit of time. Your smile, laughs, it all reminded of her child behavior." says Aurora with a genuine smile.
Miya glanced at her, unsure, and she stared into her eyes.
"Wow... that was unexpected, thanks Aurora." says Miya as she thanks her.
Aurora smiles as she stood up and snaps her fingers, causing the tea cups disappears into thin air.
"So Aurora, I'm curious. About the multiverse I mean." says Miya curiously as her curiosity was starting to get to her.
"The Multiverse you say? If you're asking parallel worlds, there is none. You can say there's other universes, but not parallel to be exact. What made you interested in the multiverse all of a sudden?" says Aurora, curiously as she glances at her.
"Well there was this demon who hid himself as a salesperson with maps, and wanted to confirm about the parallel world bullshit." says Miya as she smiles and chuckles nervously about it.
"Oh foolish demons, why yes, there aren't really parallel worlds that comes to exist. Although there are infinite timelines." Aurora confirms the multiverse theory and she smiles brightly.
"Got it, so what you've been up to? Watching me be on my adventure?" says Miya as she sighs in relief.
"Yes, I've been watching, although someone else is also watching. But that someone else is for another topic." Aurora's smile faltered from her face for the mention of somebody else watching Miya.
Miya notices Aurora's smile dropped, and glances at her with concern and worry.
"What's wrong?" she asks patiently and calmly.
"Hm? Nothing! Everything is fine, sorry about that Miya." says Aurora as she smiles again and chuckles, hiding the truth from her.
Aurora continues hiding her past and her father from Miya. Aurora's eyes carries sadness and worrisome, but masks it with a smile.
"Alright then, just letting you know I care." says Miya, sensing Aurora is hiding things from her that she didn't know.
Aurora sighed in relief.
"Now then, what would you like to do? Oh! I know! want to see who's cooking is better?" says Aurora as she smiles, thinking that it would be a fun idea.
"Oh? You're on! I'll win!" Miya shouts in excitement as Aurora summons a kitchen in front of them, containing everything they need.
Aurora chuckles at her as they both put on aprons.
"Rules are simple, don't use magic or any online search darling." she says with a smile, but with a little seductiveness in her voice.
Miya nodded.
"3... 2... 1... Go!" she exclaims as they both started cooking.
An hour later...
They put down their dishes on the table as the smell of both dishes has a delicious smell to them.
"Oh shit, you made what? Beef Wellington with some thyme and rosemary darling?" Aurora says with a smile.
"Yeah, you made a saint honoré cake. How... complex." says Miya as she smiles nervously, not expecting her to bake a French cake.
As they both tries each other dishes out, they glance at each other, making eye contact.
"Yours baked beautifully." says Miya as she compliments the flavory taste of the French cake.
"So is yours, good job dear." Aurora's smile widens as she compliments the meat.
They both chuckles and ends up eating their own dishes. They continued eating and as they finished, Aurora waves her hand causing the dishes to disappear.
Time and Space started getting warped in the Data World. It wasn't Aurora's doing and Miya doesn't have the capabilities of warping concepts.
The Data World was being warped by a higher existence. Aurora and Miya had noticed this and looked around.
"Hey Aurora! What's going on!" Miya shouts in shock.
"Someone must be manipulating warping the universe through some type of manipulation technique. It has to be someone who is a higher existence than us to perform such feat as well." Aurora's voice was serious as she glances around.
The Spirit of Time proofed into existence nect to them.
"Is someone warping reality Aurora?!" the Spirit of Time shouted in panic.
"Yeah... someone possibly dangerous. Maybe from another realm." says Aurora calmly.
"Then what do we do Aurora?" says Miya as she remained calm.
Aurora and the Spirit of Time glances at each other and sighs.
"We'll have to leave. Now." says Aurora, commanding them.
The Data World started to tremble while being warped, everything about the universe was starting to crack. Aurora opens up a portal to the outside world and the three of them steps through as the Data World collapses.
Things had gotten serious... whoever is doing this must have some grudge against her or me. Miya's thoughts remained calm and had left the Data World with Aurora and the Spirit of Time.
"Hey, Miya. You continue your journey, me and the Spirit of Time will go out to the Spiritual Realm." says Aurora while having a serious tone.
Miya glances at her and is confused, unsure what the Spiritual Realm is and where it is located.
"The Spiritual Realm?" Miya asks, now curious about it.
"There's not much time to explain. I'll explain it to you whenever you decide to come visit or something happens." says Aurora. Her voice held a commanding tone as she disappears with the Spirit of Time to the Spiritual Realm.
Miya glances at the spot where she was previously standing on, and sighed and left as well.
I'll find out whoever was manipulating the Data World. Whoever has that type of power could possibly manipulate reality on a universal-level scale as well as concepts... Miya's thoughts remained calm, but carried some seriousness.
Miya jumps upwards, and started flying around, hoping she can find something useful or a place that has information on these types of beings or places.
Wind was hitting Miya's face as she flies through the sky at high speeds. Her flight speed has increased drastically as well through adaptation.
She continued flying while searching from the sky and found nothing.
Damn... nothing, where can I find information? I know there's a library, but knowing them they wouldn't have any type of information... her thoughts raced a bit as sweat starts to form on her face.
Aurora and the Spirit of Time, on the other hand, had arrived in the Spiritual Realm. They started searching for answers as well in the realm.
All the other spirits notices them, but minded their own business, until one spirit came by.
"Hello! Welcome to the Spiritual Realm, I'm the Spirit of Light, how may I help you both today?" the Spirit of Light says cheerfully.
"We're looking for information on higher existences." says Aurora. Her serious tone didn't faze the Spirit of Space and as she chuckles, she makes eye contact.
"Sorry! We don't got any information on those beings. Although we do have extradimensional existences from worlds." says the Spirit of Space smiling.
"Dammit.. that's fine then." says Aurora.
Aurora and the Spirit of Time had left together, looking for information, while Miya searches through the Physical Realm.
They both found nothing.
