Chapter 90
- Wait, Jean, I understand that you are angry, but you shouldn't act so radically, and we can't send the owner of the electric eye of God to do such a thing, we have too few such people. - Varka said, seeing that the extremely kind girl was so angry that she could barely restrain herself from beating the stalker with her own hands.
- Not enough people, you say? - Jeanne seized on it. - Good, great. I was just going to talk to you about this later, but I think we can do it tonight.
- Amy, - the knight looked at me seriously.
- Yes?
- Will you walk me home?
- Um, of course.
- Lisa, how about showing our new friend around the city? - Jean asked the witch, who was very amused to see a new side of her friend.
- What do you say, Saeko? Will you take a walk with me? I was just thinking of going to the residents who have overdue books.
- Sounds interesting. - The slightly sadistic smile on Lisa's face couldn't escape Saeko's eyes.
- Ahem. - Vark attracted attention, who looked closely at his deputy. - Jinn, what was so important that you wanted to talk about and why do you want to talk about it only in the evening.
Under the stern gaze of the master, Jinn was slightly embarrassed. - It will be connected with the power of the elements, and in the evening, because I hope that by that time you will be free, at the same time I will have time to prepare everything necessary.
- Good. But Djinn, don't forget that you are still the deputy master of the Ordo Favonius. - Varka said, looking at me suggestively.
"I remember, Master," Jeanne answered, slightly guilty.
- Okay, I'll take this boy home, don't be bored. - Putting Albert on his shoulder like a sack of potatoes, Varka moved towards the city.
- Amy, give us a lift to the headquarters, please, my house is not far away. - It was clear that although Varka had not accused her of anything, she had already managed to get upset and build up a sense of guilt in such a short period of time. However, I did not say anything about this now and simply allowed the others to touch me and transported us straight to the entrance.
"Let's go," Jeanne said to me and walked towards the residential buildings next to the headquarters.
- Haaaah - Lisa's heavy sigh was heard behind her, followed by quick steps.
- Jean. - the librarian suddenly began to whisper, hugging the knight from behind. - You understand that he didn't mean anything like that, right?
"But I really didn't tell you too many important things," Jeanne answered, upset but also quietly.
- And you think you did the wrong thing?
- No.
- So you shouldn't blame yourself, go do what you've planned. - Lisa moved away, and then looked at me. - Be careful with Fischl and make sure she doesn't get hurt.
"Of course," I nodded.
2 minutes later,
House of the Djinn Gunhildr
"Your house turned out to be smaller than I thought," I said, looking around the small, but quite cozy two-room house.
- Our family estate is really big, but I like to spend the night here, besides, it's quite close from here to Headquarters. - Jean answered, looking into the local equivalent of a refrigerator. - Aren't you hungry? We missed lunch after all.
- Mmm, no. Honestly, I can't remember the last time I felt hungry. I'm not even sure if I really need to eat, but at least it's nice.
- I see, how about trying my special pizza then? It's cold, but trust me, it doesn't taste much worse. - Jean suggested, putting a plate on the table with more than half of the pizza on it. If I remember correctly, it should be an invigorating pizza.
"I won't refuse," I answered, sitting down at the table and watching the girl fill a teapot with water that looked very much like an electric teapot from my old world, except that it had a purple stone inserted into it.
After waiting for the Jean to make tea and taking a sip from the cup, I finally decided to ask directly: "So you decided to undergo initiation yourself, did I understand correctly?"
- Yes. As Master Varka said, we really don't have many owners of the God's Eye. And the Fatui have their own ways of obtaining elemental power for each soldier, so we need something that will allow us to withstand the Snow one in a pinch. I hate the idea of a harbinger being able to attack our archon right in the middle of the city and still escape unharmed.
- And the opportunity to personally administer shock therapy to Albert has nothing to do with this? - I grinned.
- Well, maybe just a little bit, - Jeanne was a little embarrassed, admitting the selfishness of the intentions.
- Don't worry, Mondstadt is my home, and I won't let anyone destroy it, and if that means giving each knight an element, then so be it.
"And I'm sincerely glad that you're with us, and not Fatui," Jean smiled warmly.
- Although it is certainly too early to talk about it, since I know almost nothing about the Snowy, but even if I were born there, I would run away at the first opportunity. For now, from what I know about Fatui, they appear in an extremely bad light.
"I don't think it's bad in Snezhnaya, it's not just that its inhabitants are known for their patriotism," Jean shook her head.
- Yes, perhaps it is not worth forming an opinion about an entire country based on some individuals from one organization. - I agreed, while deciding to try the pizza. And my God, it really is very tasty! To be honest, I was a little skeptical, because I doubted that pizza without sausage could compare in taste, but this pizza, even cold, was simply delicious.
- It's simply delicious, will you share the recipe?
- Sure, - Jeanne answered, beaming with satisfaction. - Actually, it's just a slightly modified mushroom pizza recipe. But I liked it so much that I eat at least a slice a day. Thanks to the green pepper and the heavenly pepper, it seems to give me strength for a new work day.
- Hmm, I really can feel the slight spiciness of heavenly pepper.
- By the way, I also tried to change the meat platter recipe and it turned out quite well. I used…
As it turned out, Jeanne quite liked to devote time to cooking in her free time. She liked to experiment with different recipes, but due to work she had almost no time for it, and when she had free time, but no opportunity to cook, she brightened up these moments of peace with novels.
It was decided to conduct the initiation ritual right in the middle of the living room. Having rolled up the carpet and put it aside, I began to draw the already familiar runic circle aimed at transmitting the element of electro.
- Jean, just in case I'll warn you, it won't be very pleasant because your body will be rebuilding under the influence of energy, but don't worry, I'll be nearby, so I can prevent any accident.
- Amy, I'm a knight, pain won't surprise me, - said Jean confidently, standing in the circle.
- Okay. Ready?
- Yes.
- In that case, let's begin. - Having said this, I began the initiation, not knowing that by doing so I had managed to alarm all the energy-sensitive owners of the eye of God who were in Mondstadt.
