Chapter 81: It Keeps Happening...

  Midas: “Celia…” She expressed with a quiet, weak tone.

  All here, those who followed Celia, felt the same. Regardless of their attempts to protect their beloved, the girl would be snatched, forced to endure further hardship.

  Xena: “Vulely, come out. We need to have a talk.” She said with a serious tone.

  Vulely: “It isn’t me. I’ve said this before, and my words are the complete truth.” She replied, appearing before them all.

  Maralia: “Then why is it that she keeps getting into these situations? It is pure absurdity and makes no logical sense!!!” She angrily exclaimed.

  Like with Midas, the women here also shared the same conclusion. There were no Strings attached to Celia, no Higher Being forcing her along a path, like a pet ant or rat. She was supposed to be free…

  Xena: “Do you truly not have a single idea who could be doing this, Vulely?” She asked with a thinking pose.

  Vulely: “If anything, the woman narrating this scene, like it is a novel, or game, movie etc… should be our first target for interrogation.” She replied, looking… directly at me?!

  Woosh!

  In an instant, I was then pulled into the world, their world. In horror, Vulely saw that I was… her. At this, the powerful being felt like she had failed her dearest, or maybe…

  Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.

  Vulely: “Stop narrating! Even if you’re me, I am still willing to kill you!” She angrily exclaimed. (Hi, secondary narrator here, taking the other’s place for now. It’s me, Runey! Hehe…)

  Narrator Vulely: “Past me, you’re ruining my job! After Celia unified everything… this is the only way I can make money!!!” She weakly replied, a single tear sliding down her face. “The easiest way, that is. But they don’t need to know this, hehe…” She secretly thought.

  Vulely was pompous, that much didn’t change. As such, she didn’t inform us that… this was a job. Though, it is a job which Celia agreed to let Vulely do. How could she ever deny a request from one of her soft and lovable wives?…

  Huh? How much am I getting paid? It is just one chapter, so only a few hundred Soul Crystals. Which is the standard currency these days. Anyway, enough of me spoiling the future…

  Vulely: “Getting… paid to do this? Then… you aren’t the one who is manipulating Celia’s destiny?” She asked with a raised eyebrow, her arms crossed.

  Ria: “A-are we even real people?” She added, feeling peak despair.

  Narrator Vulely: “I am narrating, but what I speak over is actual history. Everyone here is real, well and true, living beings.” She answered, but not her other self’s question.

  Vulely: “Why do crazy things keep happening to Celia, me? Answer the question!” She demanded once more.

  Narrator Vulely: “I can’t say, as Celia forbade me from doing so.” She replied with a sigh.

  Vulely: “…”

  Narrator Vulely: “What I can say... is that… the reason is tied to Celia herself. And worry not, this rapid life, where Celia is reactive, shifts to her being proactive in the next volume.” She added with a smile.

  Midas: “Next volume? What… can you explain further, future Vulely?” She pleaded, rubbing her head.

  Narrator Vulely: “Well, this is chapter 81 of 100. It, volume 9 of 10, takes place when Celia is 18 years old. Until then, please endure more absurd things happening to our dearest Celia!” She explained smugly, before then vanishing.

  Midas, Ria, Zia, Carma, Maralia, Xena, Ruina, Vulely: “…”

  And like that, this group was left to stew in the weird situation they just uncovered. And the… hey, Vulely! I am still doing the rest of the chapter… No you aren’t!!! Now then, back to my elegant narration, and to Celia’s plight…
