Chapter 87
- Ah, the good old home. - I said with satisfaction, inhaling the scent of my home, where everything remained exactly the same as before my departure. With slight nostalgia, I walked through the rooms. Still, 4 years is not a short period.
- Princess, Miss Busujima has woken up. - Oz appeared in a purple flash.
- Already? I thought with how much she drank at the party, she would sleep for at least another 6 hours.
- Milady, you forget that thanks to your efforts she has long since ceased to be an ordinary person.
- That's right too. Is she ready?
- Yes, my lady.
"Okay," I nodded before closing my eyes and focusing on the world within.
About 3 years have passed since I first entered this world and for me the feeling of real omniscience in my world and limited all-power is still extremely exciting and unusual. What is this omnipotence limited by? With my knowledge, I cannot create what I do not know how to do.
To be honest, unlike what I expected, the meeting with the vassals was somehow routine, nothing complicated awaited me in the post of princess, over many cycles the mechanism of self-government was worked out, where the princess's intervention was almost not required, and somehow to go against the one who at any moment can find out everything that is happening in the world is simply impossible, so everything came down to the fact that everyone was happy about the appearance of additional leisure thanks to the technology I received, as well as all sorts of other little things. Also, it is not surprising in principle, the local knights are still lovers of food and are even ready to work on the farms themselves in order to eat deliciously. In general, I was extremely pleasantly surprised, all this resembled some kind of impossible utopia, but I believe that this is how the world should be that continues to exist for many infinitely long cycles.
The meeting with Valor, Sincerity and Mercy was also funny.
To be honest, it came as a surprise to me that valor and mercy turned out to be girls, and not just girls, but also had quite recognizable facial features.
The knight of valor was called Yae Rin, she had very beautiful pink hair and, apart from the lack of fox ears, her face was very reminiscent of Yae Miko. However, she certainly did not look like a magician, but like a real warrior, in light, slightly futuristic armor and an absurdly sharp katana, she was terrible in close combat, which she showed in the very first training battle, for her katana it made no difference what you defended yourself with, a sword, infinity or a geo shield containing several of my reserves, her attack cut absolutely everything! Even my princess outfit, although it was restored immediately, was still cut by this sword! In general, I received a good lesson about the fact that it is worthwhile to dodge if you are not 100% sure to block the enemy's attack. Her character was quite cheerful, she even slightly reminded me of Amber.
The knight of sincerity was called Kevin Kaslana and his presence raised some questions, because although I know little about Honkai Impact due to the fact that there was no Russian localization, I still know that he should be from there and it seems like he even ended up not being a particularly pleasant person, but here he is, a guy with white hair in shining snow-white armor, with a joyful smile on his face, standing next to the knight of mercy. He owned a shield and a spear. And no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't get past his defense in a training fight.
And finally, the knight of mercy. Mei Boshi. Also Kevin's wife. Outwardly, she was almost a complete copy of the Electro-Archon, except that she wore glasses, although I'm not sure she really needed them. At first, she seemed rather serious and cold, but after getting to know her better, it eventually became clear that she was an incredibly conscientious and sympathetic person, and unlike her colleagues who preferred close combat, she was more of a magician. The way she masterfully controlled lightning was truly admirable. And yes, I also shamefully lost to her. And they are not yet at the peak of their strength. All my knights are getting stronger with me.
And yes, they all love to eat, and May also cooks wonderfully, so I was not too lazy to take a couple of lessons from her in this matter.
In general, concentrating on my world, I immediately created a portal near me, through which Saeko entered along with her things.
- Welcome to Taivat, - I said happily. - You can leave your things here for now, and then we'll go to the knights so there won't be any problems with your sudden appearance, and then we can register you in the adventurers' guild. And to be honest, I already miss my friends.
- Good. - The girl nodded and put her things on the sofa, except that she left the katana on her belt, which is actually correct. Although Mondstadt is a fairly safe city, it is better to keep weapons with you.
"Let's go," I said excitedly, anticipating a meeting with Djinn, while changing my outfit to regular jeans and a shirt and transferring the crown into energy that merged with my hair and putting my god's eye on my belt.
As we walked towards the Ordo Favonius headquarters, many eyes were drawn to us, some of which were of course due to Saeko, but most of the attention was drawn to my unusual, energy-shining electric hairstyle.
- Stop! What business have you come to the order headquarters for? - the guard stopped us right before the entrance to the headquarters.
- Ummm. Well... I came to see Deputy Magister Jinn and introduce my friend who wants to become a Mondstadt adventurer.
- The deputy master is a very busy man, do you think that strangers can just meet her like that? - another guard asked a little aggressively.
- Actually, I was born and raised in Mondstadt, - I answered offendedly. - Just send someone to Jeanne and say that her friend Fischl wants to meet after four years of absence.
- Good. Athos, go to the master.
- Wait, Porthos, - the second guard looked at me suspiciously. - So you say your name is Fischl?
- Yes.
- It's just that I know every resident of Mondstadt and the only one I know with that name is a fourteen-year-old girl who constantly trains and reads books in the library and you don't look a bit like her.
"I don't even know whether I should praise you for such a good memory or worry about the fact that you even found out how old I was," I said with a wry smile.
- Wait, Athos. Although I also have a good memory, have you really forgotten the deputy master's order from yesterday?
- Eh. Yes, I remember, but is it really possible to turn from a little girl into a grown woman in one day?
- Look, I understand your mistrust, but just take us to the Jean and all issues will be resolved.
- Okay, follow me. - Athos gave in and, holding the door for us, went straight to Jeanne's office.
- Wait here, - he told us in front of the office, before knocking on the door to enter. - Deputy Magister Jinn, a girl has appeared here…
We couldn't hear what he said next after the door closed; it looks like the office has surprisingly good soundproofing.
Just a minute later, a confused guard came out of the office and let us inside.
Sitting at the table, Jean looked at me with a rather complicated expression on her face and spoke with a heavy sigh only after the door was closed.
- Amy, how long were you in the other world? - Jean asked with a little sadness in her tone.
Well, I, not holding back, immediately found myself next to her and hugged her. "Jean, I've missed you so much over the past four years!"
- Hah, I'm glad to see you too. - The girl responded to the hug with a heavy sigh. - But maybe you could introduce me to your friend?
- Exactly. Jinn, this is my friend from another world, Saeko Busujima, she wants to become an adventurer. Saeko, this is Deputy Magister of the Ordo Favonius Jinn.
"Nice to meet you," Busujima bowed in accordance with Japanese traditions.
- I am also pleased. I am sure you will become an excellent adventurer. - Jeanne answered with a smile.
- Since we've met, here's a question. Are you very busy, Djinn? Maybe we can all have some tea together at Lisa's? - I asked, making a pleading face.
- Hah. - Jeanne sighed heavily and ran her gaze over the documents lying on the table and said. - I think today the Master can work on the documents himself, so yes, I think Lisa will be glad of the pleasant company.
