Nice to meet you, bodyguard! (Part 1)

Jason follows Celine through a hallway and another stair downwards. On the way Celine tells Jason a few things about the house.

According to Celine the house is the living space of five women. The house was the ancestral house of their family. Most of the people living in this house are students. It was Celine's idea to make this house into a cohabitation house as she was the only who lived here in past. Jason listened attentively like recieving a briefing of a mission. Not leaving out any detail, something he developed in the past.

"You haven't told me what I'm going to work for right here, and where is Athena?" asked Jason.

"What's the rush, geez. Well talk about work later after eating. This Athena-thing, what is it really? Are you an alien?"

"No. I'm human as much as you are, though I think we became sturdier. Wait, how much did Athena explain to you?" Jason nervously asked, after all Athena knew almost everything from the start of his career.

"Not much, aside from explaining you were testing some sort secret technology that teleported you at the rooftop. Then she began scanning us and spouting nonsense!" Irritation written all over the face of Celine.

Jason and Celine's talk was interrupted by the sounds of talking from the room in front of them. "Let's talk later about work, for now eat. Treat this as an apology for knocking you out cold." Celine opens the door.

What Jason sees is a room which was simple but elegant. Something of a mix between a Victorian-era and Eastern Asian interior. The walls filled with ornaments from animal heads to candles while the floor was laced with tatami overlooking a garden.

Five people were in the room, with one clearly a maid of some sort. But the uniform was off of what Jason had in mind. She was wearing pants and clothing you'd usually find with male clothing.

There in that room were two of the woman who were involved in the pervert incident. Another one Jason hasn't seen. The last person was Athena who clearly looked like an ordinary human except for the obvious sudden changes in her opacity.

They all stare at Jason and Celine for a moment then returns back to chatter. All of them barraging Athena of questions, she answers one by one.

"Athena cut it off, return." Jason commands. Athena suddenly disappeared and a disk-like object flew towards Jason's hand. It then turned into a liquid-state that crept towards Jason's ear solidifying an earpiece once again. This event left all of the people in the room shocked or amazed.

It lasted for a couple of seconds before being interrupted by Jason's cough. "Why are you people staring at me like-." Jason dodges something from behind. Celine tried to grab Jason once again but failed.

"You said you're not an alien! Are you sure you're not?" Celine looks at me with a surprised look. "That Athena-thingy just turned liquid and crept to your ears."

Jason understood then why they are shocked. "Athena didn't explain what she is made of huh. Athena is made of a rare variant of living metal. This allows Athena to mold into anything she needs while retaining her functional capabilities." Jason continued to explain briefly every letter from a textbook definitions they were thought in the past, or in Jason's case, the future.
