Imu came to the hall outside his bedroom, followed by a black-haired Little Loli dressed in a purple-gold kimono and redwood clogs.
The two sat on opposite sofas, facing each other.
After a moment of silence,
Imu, having sorted out his thoughts, was the first to break the quiet. "Let me ask first: when did your memories begin?"
"Reporting to Father, Enma remembers everything that happened after her birth."
The Little Loli rolled her lively pale violet eyes and obediently spoke with her hands folded over her stomach.
"Birth. Do you mean just now, or before that?"
"Reporting to Father, Enma means after King Enma created her." After saying that, Little Enma seemed worried about causing a misunderstanding and hurriedly explained.
"But in Enma's heart, Father is Father, because King Enma only gave Enma a 'body,' while you bestowed your blood essence and soul upon Enma. I will forever be your daughter!"
Imu was left speechless.
What did she mean, King Enma gave his daughter her body?
Of course.
He understood what she meant, but upon thinking it over carefully, this seemed like a good thing. Still, some matters needed to be clarified.
"Since your soul was only just born, why do you remember what happened before?"
"Because Enma previously possessed a certain degree of spirituality, she passively recorded the things she experienced. After gaining a soul, those became Enma's memories."
Little Enma's words made Imu suddenly understand. The Enma Blade was, after all, one of the Twenty-One Great Grade Blades.
It was perfectly normal for it to possess its own spirituality.
Not to mention that it had been created by King Enma, so it was likely somewhat more special than other Great Grade Swords.
"So how much do you know about that King Enma?"
This was something Imu cared
