Chapter 1639 Bisha's Interrogation
"Were you cursing me just now?"
Bisha looked up at the sky from her balcony to see her expected visitor arriving to meet her again. The Wind Fire Wings on his back almost made her clothes get torn to shreds as they flapped.
Luckily, she was allowed to use Mana for basic tasks. So she activated her mana defense layer before taking a step back to receive her guests.
She gulped an empty air before speaking up.
"I… I wasn't. What… what brings you here?"
Bisha almost regretted asking that question. Because she could see it in her visitor's smile that he had come to meet her to extract her memories from her again.
"I am here to meet you, my darling. What else?"
Eren smiled as he landed right in front of Bisha with a subtle smile on his face. He had gotten so familiar with Bisha in the last few months that he interrogated her in his own unique way.
With each passing day, one could say that Eren was trying to challenge Bisha's private space more and more, making her remember the fact that she was helpless to act against him.
"I… I think you have extracted every bit of memory from me, don't you think, sir Eren?" Bisha asked as she followed Eren into her own private chamber. "What could you possibly need to know that requires you to visit me personally? I.. I am already ready to cooperate. You'd just have to ask, you know."
Eren chuckled before responding.
"Don't think I don't know about your divine protection, Bisha darling," Eren said as he walked towards the bed Bisha had just slept on. The man had no hesitancy as he breached the private space meant for the Oni woman.
Eren sat by the edge of the bed, looking at Bisha's tense face as he spoke up.
"That blessing… It is keeping your core memories safe. For now at least. So I have to use some uncanny methods to do partial memory extraction. Don't want to turn you into a braindead idiot before I get what I want, you see," said Eren as he used his arms as support to lean back a little.
"How… how did you know about the blessing?"
Bisha was shocked to find out that a mortal was able to detect her blessing without her active use. She could have never imagined that Eren was able to have his way around the blessing.
It also meant that whatever Eren had extracted from her memories, although partial and fragmented, were her authentic memories. There was no way for her to dupe him anymore.
"I… I… I am so…." Bisha started to stutter as she tried to apologize to Eren. However, the latter just shook his head before speaking further.
"It's fine. I would have considered you to be an idiot if you were honest with me from the moment we met up," Eren said as he took out a Sativa Stick. Lighting it with a flick of his fingers and taking a drag, he continued.
"I didn't expect you to cooperate with me in the first place. So no harm done. However, I have come here with another additional purpose in mind. I'm sure you'd be more willing to help me once you meet this person," said Eren as he flashed a knowing smile at Bisha while enjoying his smoke in peace.
"Hm? What are you…" Bisha was about to ask Eren a question when something strange happened. She saw a slime-like mass separate from Eren's body before assuming a humanoid shape. Soon, Bisha laid her eyes on Reen for the first time.
"Who… who is she?"
Bisha asked Eren as she looked at Reen with a mix of curiosity and trepidation. She did not think that she had seen this person before. As far as she knew, Agatha and a few others were Eren's core members and they had all seen her for some reason or the other. This was the first time she was laying her eyes on Reen.
'Erni, which language is she speaking in?'
Reen, on the other hand, was interested to learn about Bisha and her origins. The very first thing she noticed was the fact that Eren and Bisha weren't speaking in Anfang's native languages. Instead, it was a language she did not know or heard of at all.
'Aaaah. My bad. You don't know the Oni tongue, do you?'
Eren slapped his forehead before providing a brief explanation. "It's one of the key languages on the continent of Echidna."
'Echidna!'
Some form of understanding was dawned on Reen as she looked at Bisha with a newfound perspective. After she woke up, Eren had told her about the different worlds he had the option to go to. The continent of Echidna and the world of Labh Salem were Eren's priorities for the time being.
This was why Eren was trying to gather as much information as he could about the other worlds. He was especially interested in learning about Echidna and Labh Salem. Bisha's memories were getting scoured by Eren for the same reason as well.
Of course, Eren had learned about the Oni language from Har Jahar, by extracting his memories and devouring him bit by bit. He had polished his Oni tongue by talking with Kirin Jahar, his wife, who was a half-Oni woman herself.
Incidentally, Kirin had also met up with Bisha a few times. Eren had asked his wife to keep an eye on the Oni woman from Echidna from time to time. It was only recently that Kirin had left Bisha alone to do a few tasks for Agatha.

'Here. let me help you understand her better.'
Eren said before extending his arm. His arm stretched unnaturally like an octopus' limb before his right palm was placed on Reen's head. He provided her with basic knowledge about the Oni tongue right away.
Memory Extraction was Reen's bloodline Ability after all, back when she was still a demon beast. For some reason, she was not able to use her previous Abilities the same way she was used to in the past. At least for now.
However, receiving memories from Eren and processing them in an instant was still no issue for her.
