Chapter 93
After Jeanne arrived, we spent some time discussing such an eventful day, and then went our separate ways. Jeanne had to rent a room at the inn until her house was restored. I offered her to stay at my house, but she refused and I have a suspicion that she misunderstood what kind of relationship I have with Saeko, but, however, this is not so important, and Jeanne is quite a well-off adult girl. Lisa, as expected, remained in the library and, apparently, plans to take a nap at her workplace. Well, the two of us headed to the adventurers' guild to register Saeko and at the same time take some quest for me. After all, as an adventurer, I should at least periodically complete quests.
- To the stars and to the abysses! Welcome to the Adventurers' Guild! - Katerina, the permanent secretary of the Adventurers' Guild, greeted us.
- I greet you, the creation of the great master. This princess has come to help her comrade join the glorious ranks of adventurers and resolve the difficulties that her subjects have encountered. Tell me, has the messenger of the abyss wandered somewhere that must be immediately purified, or has the guardian of the ruins left his abode? - I don't know why, but I was now in the right mood to play the role of the princess of condemnation, similar to how my gaming colleague often did, I even changed my outfit for this to something vaguely reminiscent of Gilgamesh's armor from Fate, only more closed and with less metal.
- Okay, let your friend fill this out for now, and I'll find a suitable task of the highest difficulty for you, - Katerina said without blinking an eye, handing Saeko a form with a fountain pen.
It was obvious that Saeko was surprised both by my behavior and by such a calm reaction from the secretary, but she still remained silent and began to examine the sheet given to her.
- And yet I can't believe that everything here is in Japanese. - the girl shook her head and began to fill out the form, while Katerina, in the meantime, took out a whole stack of leaflets.
- At the moment, from the tasks that require high firepower, there are 7 clearings of hillichurl camps, where the presence of abyssal mages was also noticed, 3 wandering guardians of the ruins, there is also a reconnaissance task, the area around the Decarabian tower due to traces of the presence of the order of the abyss.
- Hmm-hmm, I see that my subjects have many problems, but do not worry, this princess will send punishment on the spawn of the abyss today.
- So you take on all the proposed options, did I understand you correctly? - Katerina clarified.
- That's true.
- Okay, under what name are you registered in the guild?
- Well, I think it is forgivable that you do not recognize your princess, since I have changed since our last meeting, but from now on please be kind enough to imprint my name properly. I, the mistress of Nirvana Night, Fischl von Luftschloss Narfidort
- Hmm. Based on the information I have, you should have been only 14 years old.
- Time between worlds flows unevenly, and it happens that a day here is equal to four years in another.
- I see, I hope you are not planning another similar leap in development in the near future?
- The speed and limits of this princess's development are beyond the mortal mind, so you will no longer notice the difference.
- I'll make corrections to your personal file. - The secretary nodded, and then turned her gaze to Saeko. - Miss, I see you're finished.
"Yes," the girl confirmed, apparently watching the unfolding scene with interest before handing the form to Katerina.
- Saeko Busujima, right? - the secretary asked, and then waited for the girl to nod before continuing. - You did not indicate your origin. And... you claim to possess the electric eye of god.
It is not difficult to understand Katerina's doubts, after all, as a rule, the owners of the eye of God keep it in sight, and Saeko clearly did not have it.
- My friend has arrived, from Inazuma, as for the elements. Saeko, please demonstrate your abilities to the respected Katerina.
Saeko extended her right arm forward, allowing the flashes of electricity to travel along her limb and asked, "Is that enough?"
- Yes, let me congratulate you on becoming an adventurer.
"Wait, what about the tests?" I asked, completely out of character.
- According to the guild rules, if the applicant is an adult owner of the eye of the god, then he does not need to test his combat skills.
- It's time to think that I should have waited a couple of days to join the guild. - I sighed. - Well, in any case, this means that Saeko can already do missions with me in the squad, right?
- That's right, you want to register the squad?
- Yes.
- Fill out these papers. - Katerina took out another form that she had prepared in advance and handed it to me.
- So the name of the group is... Mafdet. I am the leader, naturally. The participants - at this point I hesitated a little and looked at Saeko and just in case clarified. - You don't mind being in the squad with me, do you?
"Why not?" the girl shrugged.
- That's great, - I smiled, writing the girl's name. - Done.
- Congratulations on the founding of the Mafdet detachment, to the stars and to the abysses!
Having said goodbye to Katerina, we decided to immediately get down to completing the tasks. And although the distance between each point was not close, with my teleportation it was not a problem.
- I'm curious about everything. Why Mafdet? - asked Saeko, finishing off the last hilichurl.
- Hmm, well there are two reasons. Firstly, it is the name of the Egyptian goddess of justice, persecution, punishment and revenge. And most importantly, it is a memory of my past life. I played World of Warcraft for quite a long time in a guild with that name. - I answered, indulging in memories.
- I see. - The girl nodded, and then, remembering something, asked something else. - And where is Oz, by the way? He was usually always nearby.
- I asked him to fly and check on my parents. I should probably visit them myself soon and still leave one of my knights with them, after all, neither Kaeya nor Eola will be able to devote all their time only to their protection, and they will not be able to withstand the harbingers of fatui.
"How strong are these Harbingers? Why are they so feared?" Saeko asked.
- I didn't tell you that? Well then. The Harbingers are the leaders of Fatui, each stronger than most owners of the eye of God, and the strongest of them have power that is not inferior to the Archons, and not to newborns or greatly weakened ones, but to real Archons, in their prime. To roughly describe their capabilities, a striking example would be Inazuma, which is a local prototype of Japan. Electro Archon, with one blow of the sword, cut the island into 2 parts along with the god Orobashi located on it. Then, when I manage to get a map, I will show how much territory this blow covered, if I remember correctly, its length would be enough to cross the entire territory of Mondstadt.
"Can you do that?" Saeko asked, having difficulty imagining the scale.
- Of course, I am sure that in battle, I will not yield to the archons in strength. - I smiled smugly.
- Hmmm, do you mind if we walk back to the city? I want to get a more visual idea of the size of Mondstadt.
- Um, are you sure? Even if we walk from here to the city, it will take at least half a day.
-...Okay. Then how about flying with me in your arms? - Saeko ran her hand over her tempting body with a flirtatious smile.
"As you wish." I agreed, rolling my eyes at the now almost habitual teasing, while mentally noting that I needed to find myself a girlfriend.
