DxD: Shadow Monarch

Chapter 37: Short life?



—---------------

Chapter- 37

—---------------

'What?!' I almost shouted but somehow I managed to suppress it in my mind because this really big price to pay but again everything comes with a price

'By the system how much is the life span of her race' I asked this inwardly to the system to get an idea about how many years she has left to live

[ The lifespan of Harelings is comparable to that of humans in your world ]

'Damn really if that means she only has less than 40 years more to live!' I couldn't help but shout this in my mind after hearing that while staring at Aria with eyes full of worry

Human life is already too short, and fate seems to have made it even shorter for her. It's as if fate wanted to play a cruel joke by reducing her life even more

[ Affirmative. My previous statement was based on the available data before the environmental shift, and therefore cannot guarantee complete accuracy. 

However, it is within the realm of possibility that the alteration in nature may have a significant impact on the lifespan of living beings. 

Based on my analysis, assuming no corrective measures were taken to address the environmental shift, her expected lifespan would be reduced by approximately 25 years. ]

'Can you do anything about it? Like make her adapt to the environment as you did to me when you teleported me to his place I asked this inwardly since she already have less time to live even then still her time kept reducing

But remembering the time when that entity teleported to another planet while the system change my body and make it adapt to that environment, so I hope the system can also do the same to Aria

[ Negative. As previously communicated, the system is solely linked to your corporeal form as the host. Consequently, the system possesses the capacity to solely manipulate and modify the host's physicality ]

'But can't you go to take this girl as host for a while and then returned to me after making her body adapt to this new environment?' I asked this in my mind to the system because I want her to live longer rather than this short life of her

[ The impossibility stems from the fact that the system remains bound to the current host until the latter's expiration, and cannot be detached before then. ]

'Damn it!' I inwardly shouted as I bit my lip in frustration realising I can't do much to help her because I know the system is not lying

Wait a minute!! that might work, if I could able to find a method to bring her back with me to my world then maybe I can solve that problem

But for that, I got no lead for now, so it's better to solve this problem of nature first rather than sitting around doing nothing when I have limited time to stay here

"By the Aria can you tell me my chances to survive if I go to the castle?" I asked this in a soft tone to Aria as I crouch down to her level while I patted her head

She look at me with her big eyes as she nodded her head and then her eyes shone before dimming down again

"How was it?" I asked this in a curious tone because even though I don't wanna believe in things that didn't happen but it's not going to hurt to know it

Not to mention she is going to tell probability, not future as well from this ability not only did does she manage to outrun enemies for a long time but she even manage to make them dead

She showed a confused expression without speaking anything, I see it's probably the chances are not in my favour maybe that's why she is hesitating

But contrary to expectations, she shook her head as she speak in an astonished tone "I don't see any chance for you to die"

What? Seriously that according to her I will succeed without any problem or enemies are weak that I will find no problem nor have I found any reason for Aria to lie about this

But I shouldn't get careless because of this, I should still act with caution rather than being sorry. 

Still, I am surprised about how can she use words like 'die', 'dead' and 'kill' casually without any fear which normal children usually have 

I took a deep breath while I stared at the girl as I asked with a serious tone which is quite different from my usual soft tone when I talk to her "Are you ready?"

To my question, she nodded her head with the seriousness which increase her cuteness 10 times more

But I now look at her ragged clothes… I think I should make her change into something more comfortable, not to mention in her house all things were destroyed by that guy

"Come here for a moment," I said to Aria in a low tone as I pulled her towards me and started to take measurements just by carefully staring at her body with my eyes 

Since I got an no other means to measure her measurements, I can only rely on my eyes to record her measurements

After that, I asked the system to take out the maid dress which I come wearing first time to his castle or should I say… his home

Aria seeing clothes suddenly appear in my hands out of thin air, she startled and took a few steps back but after the next moment she looked at the clothes with eyes full of curiosity

I couldn't help but smile after seeing her this act like a real kid who is full of curiosity about everything

Wanting to entertain her more, I created Scissors using my ice and get ready to work

Meanwhile, Aria only looks at the whole process with eyes full of curiosity like a child
