16. Two Subordinates making a Mess (1/2)

The next day Ei and Rinon are riding the carriage to finally sell the fruits harvested from Inazuma(the Realm or Asora in the original will be called Inazuma from now on) as they talk about Ei's 'background story' and Rinon's but as time passes the story became more darker and tragic as Rinon tells what happen to her sister's failed ventures and ultimately sold herself to her debtors.

Meanwhile Tomoe and Mio are on their way to do a rescue mission ordered by Ei, Mio asks to Tomoe " Why does Mistress care about the woman in the portrait? Does she and Mistress know each other?"

Tomoe shakes her head and answered, " No she's not, you know that our Master is a Goddess and an Elder Goddess on top of that. Unlike that Goddess of this world we are lucky to have a Master thats way more powerful and more reasonable than that Goddess, anyways she told me that she likes to go to mortal worlds to experience mundane life using a Vessel to seal herself to experience 'normally'. This latest Vessel has memories of his childhood friend that looks exactly like the one in the drawing, if you want more details I suggest talking to Master herself and here we are."

They entered the building using Tomoe's Mist and found their target who looks more skinny with cheekbones visible as her face is filled with tears and drool.

The young woman herself is mildly conscious as she saw blurry images of two people as she heard them barely saying " Is this her?", " Thankfully she's still alive", " She doesn't look well though", " It looks like its an effect of a drug to take away a person's will" and saw a hand wearing a black glove coming near her and suddenly her mind returns its clarity.

The young woman sit up straight looking down clenching and unclenching her hand and look up as she can now clearly see a woman with blue hair saying, " Oh? So you know about medicine and you have the power to purify? Impressive." and she looks at her benefactor with black hair saying " It was nothing really." finally wondering who are these two.

Mio turned around to reach for the door while saying " It should be fine now, lets return to our Mistress. Tch, what an annoying lock." as the door she was trying to open is locked and in the end destroyed the whole door with black smoke 'eating' through it like acid.

They heard a man's voice " What are you doing here?"

Tomoe put a hand on her chin saying, " Hm? You were..." the young woman suddenly cut her off " The strongest adventurer in Zetsuya, Mills Ace!"

On Ei's side...

Ei is back on the Inn after selling all the fruits to the market, and now she is on her meditative pose (plane of euthymea first appearance during cut-scene).

With her Domain of Time she's already aware what Rinon's circumstances and her two Subordinates action in the near future making her sigh as she said, " I wonder what kind of punishment should I give to these two?".
