23. Ei as a Merchant? Registration and the Subordinates making Trouble once again

After completing the request Ei left Rembrandt's shop to go to the Merchant's guild for registration and easily passed the test given to her, considering how long Ei has lived and how many worlds she visited. She also passed the second part of the test by giving the guild employee monster materials way more valuable than the materials needed in the test, they asked her how she did it and she showed her adventurer card to them and told them how she encountered the ruby eyes and killing it in the end.

As Ei fills out the forms the merchant guild receptionist tells her the story of Mr. Rembrandt with how it started in tragedy during his time as a rookie merchant, how his first love died and how he found happiness after his encounter with a lady who later became his wife and gave him two children as he build his Rembrandt company and grew as it is in the present.

The receptionist was gonna tell Ei more but she already filled the forms and submitted to her, then she told Ei that the card will be ready tomorrow.

When Ei got out the guild building it was already late, as she plans to go back to the Inn to meditate the other Subordinate has finally finished her so-called 'training journey'.

Turning the Time stone counter-clockwise for a bit...

Tomoe returned to Inazuma with a mutant Gain Crab with a size of a huge building, clearly a huge threat to normal adventurers but not to her as she plans to eat it by ordering the Orcs and Lizardmen to boil it by using giant chains to restrain it and a giant pot to boil it.

While Mio on the other hand, is in Tenshukaku's vault on which contains the memories of Ei's Human Vessel with Ema doing translations. As time passes Mio wilts bit by bit as she really wants to be with her Mistress, she loves eating any magic energy being released by Ei(she only does it when Mio is around).

While they are having a crab feast, an Orc running towards them shouted towards Tomoe saying, " Madam Tomoe!"

" What are you having a fuss over? I'm eating" said Tomoe as she bites on crab meat.

The Orc kneels on one knee saying his apologies and says, " Madam Mio just entered the vault."

" What?! She's in that room? I should be the only one allowed in there." said Tomoe as she wonders why Mio did it.

Then she became pale thinking that Mio is eating the memory crystals especially the ones containing her period dramas that she did a lot of effort in editing by removing the ads and other small memories not related to the period drama itself.

Then Tomoe suddenly bolted off to Tenshukaku to stop Mio without noticing that the Orc was just actually ordered by Ema to act like panicking as he reports to Tomoe.

When Tomoe arrived what she fears of happening did not happen, she only saw Mio silently translating the memory crystals while Ema looks at her with stern eyes then scolded Tomoe that instead of doing her job she's watching period dramas while eating crab.

Tomoe teases Mio if she made any progress with their Master as Mio told her what happened in the room they shared in the Inn the whole night, though what happened was not what Tomoe have in mind. Mio told Tomoe how Ei looked beautiful when she meditates as her body does not move a single bit like statue and her very beautiful face while her eyes are closed, Mio's most favorite moment is when Ei opens her eyes it shines a purple light in a mesmerizing manner as Mio began to blush while panting like a pervert.

Tomoe sweatdrops at Mio's current appearance, then sighs while telling Mio how anti-climatic and wonders when her time will come.

This pissed off Mio and scolded Tomoe that she should've reported Ei that she has returned and adds with, " The reason I'm not by her side right now is because of you!" and Tomoe just brushed it off while laughing.

After stopping bickering with Tomoe, Mio pay attentions to the memory crystal currently in her hands as something in it that interests her.

At present time...

While Ei is meditating a loud telepathy from Tomoe suddenly interrupted her, saying that an emergency happened making Ei teleports back to Inazuma right away.
