Chapter 411. Partial Amnesia

Seven Sins System Chapter 411. Partial Amnesia

"You know, I just said what was on my mind," I reiterated, my tone serious.

"So do I," she shot back. It was clear that she still viewed my words as an attack.

I let out a long huff and fixed her with a flat stare. "You are mad at me," I reminded her.

"I…" She began to retort, but then she pressed her lips together and turned away.

The tension between us eased.

‘I'm sure that's enough to calm her down,’ I thought to myself, a faint smile tugging at the corners of my lips. ‘At least now she chooses not to let my words get to her.'

But as I reflected on the situation, I was drowning in pure, undiluted embarrassment. Here I was—the freaking Lord of Wrath—playing peacemaker with a literal goddess. Not exactly the badass image I’d built up over the years, and yeah... it stung a little.

‘Ha! Give me applause for it,’ I thought sarcastically, ‘since I just tainted my reputation.’

"The reason I said that was because I wanted to know why they chose you, and that was an honest question," I explained to her, my tone earnest.

If we weren't knee-deep in this mission, I might’ve cracked a joke or even picked a fight just for fun. But with everything on the line right now, I knew messing around wasn’t exactly an option.

Her response was a simple repetition of her earlier statement. "I don't know," she stated again, her voice tinged with frustration and uncertainty.

"Not at all?" I pressed.

“No,” she confirmed, meeting my gaze head-on. "Do you know why they chose you?" she countered, turning the tables on me.

"Because I was the one who wreaked havoc in the mortal realm the most," I declared without missing a beat.

It was a half-truth, but one I couldn't help but cling to. I couldn't risk revealing the true reason behind my selection—the ancient demon lurking within me.

I knew that if I divulged the existence of the demon, it would paint a target on my back. The light realm would see me as a threat, and they would stop at nothing to eliminate me. It was a risk I couldn't afford to take.

She paused, her brow furrowing in deep thought. This time, her expression was more serious, as if she was trying to piece together the puzzle of our past clashes. "Then I guess they chose me because I kept clashing with you in the past," she finally stated, her tone tinged with uncertainty.

I couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at her response. "Are you sure about that?" I questioned, unable to conceal my skepticism. "I mean, yes, we've had our fair share of clashes in the past, but didn't you always use some kind of barrier to protect the mortals from our fights?" I reminded her.

"And you always made it at least ten kilometers," I added with a slight grimace, the frustration evident in my voice. "That was really annoying," I admitted, unable to suppress the irritation. “No one could see us fighting. No one saw you trying to kick my ass,” I continued

Her uncertainty was palpable as she confessed, "I am not sure. But I don't know what the answer is either."

I couldn't help but wonder if she, too, had experienced the same as me.

Hoping to offer a subtle hint, I asked, "Or have you ever experienced memory loss or something like partial amnesia?"

Once the words left my lips, I couldn't shake the feeling of deja vu that washed over me. It was as if I was speaking not just to her, but to a reflection of myself.

She looked at me quizzically, her brow furrowing in confusion. "Partial amnesia? What do you mean?" she asked.

I took a moment to gather my thoughts before responding. "I mean, like you forget something," I explained. "It's like... you might not even realize that you've forgotten it, but maybe there are gaps in your memory or moments where things just don't quite add up."

"Well, if you forget it, you might not know about it," I continued with a shrug. "But maybe you remember something that doesn't quite connect, like pieces of a puzzle that don't quite fit together."

Her frown deepened, her brows knitting together in concentration. I watched her closely, waiting for her response.

After what felt like an eternity, she finally spoke up. "I don't think so," she stated, her voice tinged with uncertainty.
