The Ultimate Support Character

"Uhm. Miss Nysia, what are you desperate for?"

The gorgeous lady who's supposed to be a Transcendent was clinging to me like a little child and her eyes were looking at me like a little puppy looking for a pat on her head.

"A man! It's been 50 years. No one can suit this taste of mine. So I went to that shady fortune-teller 10 years ago and he gave me clues on who would be able to satisfy this taste of mine. And now here you are, just like he said."

Who could that shady fortune-teller be? If there's one I could think of… Did the Principal visited this world 10 years ago?!

"Can you describe his appearance?"

"What for? He looks shady but he's not remotely weaker than me. In fact, he's even stronger."

Nysia answered as if she didn't want to remember about him anymore. And for him to be stronger than a Transcendent...

"You don't believe me, do you?"

"I do. Upon seeing that earring, I believe we're really bound to meet."

"You look young but the way you speak. Are you actually an old man?"

This woman. I'll ignore the fact that she said 50 years earlier but isn't she the older one here? But she's acting like a teen. Also, how can she keep her appearance to be this… attractive.

She's a Transcendent but I couldn't feel anything from her just like with the Principal. Does that mean any Transcendent can suppress their imposing aura?

Well, considering normal people will shake in their knees or even lose consciousness if met with overwhelming power, having this kind of ability is convenient.

"I'm too young to be an old man."

"Right. It says here… you came from the same world as those three brats?"

She stood up from me and took a tablet-like device that's probably a mini PC to see the report Lexie made about me.

"You knew they came from the same world?"

"Of course. At my level, it's easy to see who's a native denizen of this world and who's not. But you… why do you feel like a native?"

Err... That's my Adaptability.

"Let's just say, it's my ability."

Hearing my answer she only appeared to think about it for a second before she shrugged her shoulders.

"Ability? Alright. Anyway, you're also not like the others who tremble on their knees upon meeting me."

Isn't that because of how you acted? If not for seeing that orb, I might think I met someone crazy.

"It's part of that ability. I'm calm most of the time."

"Really? What can scare you then?"

Her questions were full of curiosity about me and I could see in her eyes that she wanted to know more about me.

"…Maybe losing those who I deemed important to me."

I answered after thinking for a while.

With all that happened, that could be the only thought that could scare me. I could feel helplessness if I am faced with overwhelming power but not fear. I don't know if that's because of my Adaptability but in any case, that's what I feel.

Ah. Right. There's one more.

Barbarian women are scary. There's still 5 hours before the duration of my Incarnation ends and it seems really peaceful there, it hasn't received any damage yet.

"As expected of the man of my destiny. You were confused, I know. However, you felt it too, right?"

Is she talking about the convergence of destinies? I don't know. I'm still not sure.

"I'm not really sure what you meant by that."

"Ah. Stop that. Come here and sit with me. You chose my League and now you're my Top Priority Recruit.  I can act professionally if you want me to but know that after years of waiting for you, I won't let those three factions poach you from me or else…"

Nysia put on a sinister smile on her face as she reached her hand to touch her earring which contains the orb. It seems she's aware of its use.

"Of course. I chose your League because I don't want to become like those three. You know why we're here, right?"

She's a Transcendent, she probably had contact with the World's Will of this World.

"I know. It's those Dark Bugs, right?"

Nysia nodded.

"Dark Bugs?"

"They like to wear dark clothes and they're like bugs I can easily crush, so Dark Bugs."

Hearing that answer, I could only wryly smile. Those Invading Forces probably didn't think that they would face Transcendents here in this world.

However...

"If you can crush them easily, why are they still here?"

"Because I can't afford to leave the planet. They're holed up on our moon and the other slippery bastards might launch an attack anytime."

Nysia bit on her fingernail to show her frustration.

I see. So they're based on the planet's moon and she's wary of the Alien Civilization.

"Sorry for asking these questions, I didn't offend you in any way, did I?"

"Haa… you're wary of me, are you? I guess it's my bad to act that way upon meeting you."

Nysia sighed as she plopped back on her sofa bed, she's still wearing those revealing clothes all this time, seeing her like this, I couldn't really help but get drawn by her.

"Not really wary but I couldn't put it in words. I was expecting you to try and scare me. To give me the taste of overwhelming power and that my Brain Capacity means nothing at all in face of it but what I got is this."

Right. The scenario should've gone in that direction. Maybe if it's not her, that will really happen. Geniuses needed to be pulled down a peg to let them know that being a genius isn't everything.

"If it's not you, the scenario would've really gone down that route. But you see, Daisuke. It's you. Only you will have this kind of treatment from me."

With an enchanting smile on her face, Nysia tapped the space beside her in a bid to invite me to sit next to her.

Taking up her invitation, I went and sat next to her and in the following hours, Nysia educated me about the real situation of this world as well as what kind of Orb does she have.

To meet the 4th Owner of an Orb like this, I guess destiny was really playing on us.

I listened to everything she revealed and I also told her some things about me that got her interested.

When I asked her if I could touch it, she willingly let me which made me trust her more. This woman is true to her thoughts, just like Erin. She really believed in that destiny about me being her destined partner.

The orb in her earring is called the Orb of Reinforcement. It's an orb that boosts one's defence. It probably could be compared to the Orb of Enhancement but this one was fully on defence. I used it on both of us and there are no stats added. However, there's a thin film aura which covered both of us that could probably defend from any types of attacks. As for its durability. I haven't tested it yet. When she saw how I effortlessly activated her Orb, Nysia was surprised. Just like everyone else who held an Orb before, she couldn't utilize it in its maximum output.

"I've been using this stone ever since I started on this path but only now did I experience it in its full power. Daisuke, just what are you?"

I handed the earring back to her and she wore it back on her ear.

For the first time, Nysia expressed her doubt as well as her surprise about me. It's not a negative doubt but a doubt on why I could do that.

"I don't know what I am myself. There's a blank in my memory, you see. And the answer is probably in there."

When will that memory come back and who took it from me? There's no clue and the Principal was keeping mum about it.

"I see. If I… If I tell you I am serious about making you my man, how will you react?"

Nysia almost stuttered when she tried expressing herself again. For a Transcendent, she's a bit clumsy.

"How? But you might be the one who will be disappointed, Nysia. If I tell you I already have 6 companions, will you still be that serious?"

"6… They're not here with you, are they?"

Though she was surprised it didn't look like it bothered her.

"No. They're on their own worlds but I have a way to contact them."

Nysia nodded upon hearing my answer and seemingly brushed it off.

"I see. Then that's not something to be bothered about. Here, I can monopolize you."

"That's not a good word to use, you know?"

"I know. Will you accept me?"

"Everything was already laid out in front of me... Yes. It's really nice meeting you, Nysia."

Having a Transcendent companion? If she's really honest about everything she said, it will happen. The convergence of our destinies.

As soon as I accepted her. A system notification rang out inside my mind. Almost at the same time, Nysia was also startled. Most possibly because of the series of notifications that she received through my system.

[Rank 1 Transcendent Nysia Athonae has been added as your Companion.]

[Received a Passive Skill from Rank 1 Transcendent Nysia Athonae: Enhanced Defense]

[Enhanced Defense: A simple enhancement derived from a Transcendent's ability which was shared to those connected to her. 20% additional defensive capability.]

Ah. This is it. The convergence of our destinies. Due to my system being updated back at the World of Spirits, it will now notify me when a new Companion is added.

Let's see. Enhanced Defense. Derived from a Transcendent's ability. What is her ability?

"Ah? Hey? What's this Daisuke?!"

Since it's probably the first time she encountered something like that, even a Transcendent like her panicked at the baffling sight of a system notification in front of her.

The others were probably also surprised when the notification about my buffs was sent to them, I wonder how their surprised faces looked?

Err... To get another Companion like this. Yuko and Yumiko will surely be… surprised when I tell them this news later.
