Chapter 15:

Now all sisters are together

Saga of Saturn: Benevolent Processor


"Miho!" Lumi burst through the two large doors, looking around frantically for her sister before turning back to Histoikie.

"Where is she? Where is my sister?" Lumi struggled to catch a breath as she spoke.

"She's in my bedroom," Histoike replied. Lumi immediately sprinted out to the elevator and wasted no time in sending it off to the top. Her stomach bubbled, and it felt like her neck was being clenched.

"Hurry up." She booted the elevator's door dumbly, hoping that it would make it move faster.

Before they could even fully open, she pushed herself through, and despite stumbling, she swiftly pushed herself back up with her hands and continued running through the hallway. "My chest may be small, but at least I saved a few seconds there," she thought to herself as she continued on. She stopped in her tracks at a four-way crossing. Spinning around, she figured out the right path to the door straight to Histoike's bedroom.

Nearing closer, she started to reach out for the door handle. She leaned forward, grabbing it directly, and using her body's weight, her hand slipped off and stopped dead in her tracks by slamming headfirst into the door.

At this point, minutes had passed. "Wumi? You alright?" Saturn, along with Histoikie, had managed to catch up to find her knocked out cold on the floor with her knees tucked in and her head in an awkward position, being pushed back by the door.

Lumi gave out a loud moan while slowly lifting up. Her face was a clear statement she had completely forgotten where she was or why.

"Saturn? Histoikie?"

"Yup, I'm Saturn, and this is Histoikie."

"Right! My sister." Lumi came to her senses and got up to open the door. As she slowly pushed it open, a fresh breeze of air poured out along with a beautiful scent of flowers. Pushing it completely open, she was greeted by a surprisingly large room filled with bookshelves on one side and a small coffee table with a bed on the right side. The wall directly in front was just a giant window and a door allowing access to the balcony.

The small coffee table had two cups, one filled with tea and the other already empty. "Miho?" Lumi called out. A second later, a small head shot up from the side of the bed near the window like a dead man rising. "Onee-chan?" The small girl slowly raised off the floor and walked out from behind the bed to stand in front of Lumi.

Short, around 4.9ft in height, a pale-skinned girl with dark blonde hair reaching her neck and dull blue eyes. Holding a manga in her right hand and wearing an identical white dress to Lumi, she looked up at her sister.

"The hell are you doing here, you damn brat!? How did you even get here!?" Lumi, feeling relieved, relaxed but filled with anger.

The girl with her expressionless face stared at Lumi and slightly leaned her head to the right as if thinking for a good answer.

"I need to tell you something," she spoke quietly.

"Yeah? First, tell me how the hell you got here, you brat, and why didn't you wait for me to come back home to tell me whatever you want to tell me? Next time I'll pound your dumb head so hard you'll be relearning how to walk again so you don't pull this kind of stunt again."

"Oof, maybe give your sister some slack, Lumi, hehe. I mean, we all-"

"Shut up."

Saturn and Histoike answered together from fear. "Yes, miss."

"Onee-chan, I found this ring that was dropped by some weird man that spoke with your butler." Lumi's eyes widened in disbelief as she reached out to take the ring from her sister. When she grouped it with the other two, they unsurprisingly connected and glowed brighter than with just two. She turned to Histoikie and found the perfect time to ask about the rings.

"Histoikie, do you know anything about these?"

"I'm not a black smith you know. But I could take them for you and start an analysis procedure but it'll take a while."

"Honestly it's better than nothing so please, and you brat how did you get here?"

"I flew here." Miho answered. Her attempt at the joke fails when paired up with her blank face.

"And since when are you a bird? Now the truth."

"Lady Saturn left one of her pilots on our planet and he ended up getting stuck in a toilet. When I helped him out he realized the ship was long gone so asked if I could spare him any help. So then I gave him the keys to your cruise ship and used the opportunity to find you to tell you about the ring and one more thing."

"Of course every event is linked to Saturn. Also don't call her Lady Saturn and what is the other thing you were going to tell me?" Lumi replied

"I finished a new chapter of my manga." Miho continued. Lumi dropped her head and slouched forward. A huge amount of stress left her body immediately after finding out she was taken care of and nothing bad caused her to appear in Plansanturia.

"I'll get on analyzing the rings." Said Histoikie as she left the room but not without giving Saturn a deep death stare implying that the scolding from before was only the beginning. Saturn nervously scratched her head and suddenly realized her sister was nowhere to be seen. She wandered off like a lost child searching through the hallways and left Lumi and Miho together in the room. Looking inside cupboards, under carpets, in plant pots, fridges and desks Saturn was unable to find Plutonia.

"Think girl, think." She grabbed her head with both hands and squeezed lightly to enter her super concentrated mode (It's all in her head).

"Bububububu." A sign that the processor is hard at work.

"Bubububuuu woooo" The processor has began to overclock.

"Bububuuuuuu woooogooo duuuu." Now the processor has began to overheat and coil whine has begun.

"Ha bwaha gooo." The processor has overheated and blue screened the pc. Saturn laid down on the floor in the middle of the hallway and closed her eyes. Every 5 seconds she opens them in hopes Plutonia will simply appear. To her surprise after a long while nothing happened and she sat up unknowing of what to do now.

Saturn decided to retrace her steps, trying to remember the last place she saw Plutonia. As she walked through the Dae Turris, she stumbled upon a door slightly ajar, leading to a small room filled with colorful flowers and potted plants. In the center, she found Plutonia, sitting cross-legged and focused hard on a red rose.

Plutonia! There you are. You made my mini cores all worked up," Saturn exclaimed, relieved to find her sister safe and sound.

Plutonia looked up, her eyes sparkling. "Oh, hey, Saturn! I found this cute little garden room, I never even knew we had something like this so I decided to have a little break."

Saturn chuckled, realizing that Plutonia had found a cozy corner to escape the chaos. "I understand that Lumi can be tiring with all her crazy journeys.”

“I dont think she is the one who starts the ‘crazy’ journeys” Plutonia thought to herself.

“Anyway Histoikie is out analyzing the rings so we got a lot of free time. So why don't the four of us go and have fun?”

“Four?” Plutonia looked up in confusion.

“Yup, Miho is here too. I don't think you've ever met her before. Man I'm jealous you get to make a new friend.”

Plutonia nodded in agreement, and they strolled back toward Histoikie's room.

"Yipallo!" Saturn exclaimed as she entered the room, discovering the two sisters, Lumi and Miho, seated on the floor, engrossed in a book selected from Histoikie's extensive collection.

"Miho, I'd like you to meet my sister, Plutonia."

Miho gracefully rose from the floor and approached Plutonia, offering a respectful bow before introducing herself. "Hello, Plutonia. I am Mihiro Lumi Ilandice. I hope we can cultivate a friendship akin to that of our sisters."

"Oh, no need to be so formal, hehe. I'm Plutonia, and it's a pleasure to meet you."

"NOW! Now that we are acquainted, why don't we spend some time at the universe's largest gaming and otaku center, situated right in the nation of Plansanturia?"
