"No, it's nothing. I just suddenly remembered something Mei asked me to tell you, but I can't remember it." Fu Hua answered Jeanne's question while recalling what Mei had asked her to tell Jeanne back then. It's normal for Fu Hua to have such a question. After all, Fu Hua has lived for 50,000 years. The fact that she can still remember Jeanne is due to the magic spell that Jeanne left on that ornament.
No, rather than the effect of that spell, it's more accurate to say that Fu Hua forced herself to remember this event. In order not to forget Miss Jeanne, she even used the power of Feather Dust Crossing. That's why Fu Hua still retains memories of Miss Jeanne.
It's normal that Fu Hua can't remember anything else besides Jeanne, the most important person in her life.
"Oh dear, another puzzle game?" Jeanne said after hearing Fu Hua's words. However, this wasn't exactly boring for Jeanne, since she had always been interested in puzzle games.
"First, it's certain that Fu Hua used some kind of power to imprint my memories in her mind, even to the point of never forgetting them. However, what Fu Hua didn't anticipate at the time was that her own memories were fading. Therefore, she only engraved my memories in her mind, which explains why she completely forgot what Mei was trying to relay to me back then. Of course, this isn't entirely without speculation."
"After all, Fu Hua must have realized that her memories were fading. And it was after realizing that her memories were gradually disappearing that Fu Hua used that power again. However, that power either failed to work or something else happened, which is why Fu Hua forgot what Mei had told her."
"But I absolutely don't believe Fu Hua wouldn't have left herself a backup plan. After all, what Mei wanted Fu Hua to relay must be something so important that Fu Hua couldn't easily forget it. So, Fu Hua must have a backup plan in this matter. And considering Fu Hua's personality, the backup plan she left behind would be something she already has around, and something she would never casually take to any unexpected place."
Looking at Fu Hua, Ms. Jeanne made this deduction, but she wasn't sure if it was correct. Moreover, if it were as Ms. Jeanne thought, Mei should have already discovered what was on that thing. However, Mei didn't mention it at the time, which caused a slight gap in Ms. Jeanne's thinking. But it was this small gap that made Ms. Jeanne unsure what Fu Hua's backup plan was.
"Oh dear, if that's the case, even I can't figure it out." Miss Jeanne looked at Fu Hua and could only sigh slightly, indicating that she hadn't been able to solve the case perfectly this time.
“I… I think I said that once, five hundred years ago.” This time, Fu Hua did not answer Miss Jeanne’s words, but just spoke in this intermittent way. It seems that Miss Jeanne did not fail to solve the case perfectly this time, but simply lacked clues.
As for Ms. Jeanne, she naturally noticed something when she looked at Fu Hua. For example, Fu Hua couldn't remember what Mei was supposed to tell her, but she did remember when and to whom she had said it once.
Such words gave Miss Jeanne another reason to go back five hundred years, in addition to getting rid of Otto.

The Genius and the Two-in-One Detective (Part 2): Chapter Sixteen - Keep it up, Otto!
In 1495, a young child flew a small gadget he had made, which was made of wood and a small amount of leather, in his own backyard.
However, the little gadget was knocked down by a stone shortly after it took flight, and unfortunately, it landed directly in the neighbor's yard. Since the child wasn't very strong, it was unlikely that the small object could be retrieved.
"Doing something boring again." A voice came from behind the child. The voice belonged to the child's older brother, and from his words, it was clear that he didn't like his younger brother very much.
When he saw his younger brother trying to climb over their wall to retrieve the small object, his older brother said, "Don't waste your time. You're in such poor health; you're lucky to be alive."
Just as the boy's older brother said, he simply slipped and fell from the not-so-high wall to the ground. After seeing this, the boy's older brother said, "How could I have such a useless younger brother like you!"
The older brother's words were filled with hatred for his younger brother, but considering the current era, perhaps this is quite normal. After all, in this day and age, there is no era like the future where such children are treated as treasures.
However, not long after the so-called older brother left, a girl's voice came from the other side of the wall, and the child heard not only the girl's voice, but also the sound of leather boots stepping on the wall.
Before long, a silver-haired girl appeared in the child's field of vision. Looking at the girl, the child who had initially released the small item exclaimed in surprise, after all, the child hadn't expected anyone to climb over the wall.
"It just flew so high." The girl ignored the child's exclamation and simply expressed her surprise and joy at what the child had done.
After expressing her joy, the girl stopped talking, but it was clear that she was trying to adjust her posture on the wall because she had something to show the child.
"Is this yours?" The girl took out the child's creation from the pocket of her coat. It looked tattered, but the girl didn't need it to be intact. After all, she had more questions for the boy.
"...I did it," the child answered the girl's question, seemingly unaware of what the girl had done.
"Wow, you're so amazing! You'll definitely become a great inventor someday!" The girl's voice was filled with joy after confirming the child's answer, and the child heard encouragement and expectations from someone for the first time because of the girl.
"It's a pity it's broken." The girl looked at the tattered item in her hand, a hint of regret in her voice.
"If you want... I can make one for you..." the child asked the girl tentatively, his voice tinged with a hint of unease, as if he was worried the girl might not want it.
"Hmm." She didn't want the child to be hurt again by his anxious words. But besides this, she had something else she wanted to say to the child: "By the way, great inventor... I have another request... Please help me save the world."
The scene stopped there, and everything—the girl, the child, and even the rustling of the leaves in the wind—completely disappeared.
“That was my first encounter with Karen, and Karen is the person I hope you will save.” Otto looked at the girl standing there, a trace of nostalgia flashing in his eyes, as if he were reminiscing about that first encounter five hundred years ago.
"Wow~" Miss Jeanne stood in front of the child, carefully observing him, then looked up at Otto standing to the side. After repeating this several times, Miss Jeanne finally said, "You were so cute when you were little, but why aren't you as cute now that you've grown up?"
"..." As for Miss Jeanne's evaluation, Otto did not speak, but just looked at the girl standing in front of the child from back then.
“Bishop Otto?” Miss Jeanne walked up to Otto and spoke, seeing that he did not respond to her words. However, when Miss Jeanne followed Otto’s gaze, she saw Karen standing there.
"Yare yare da☆ze." Seeing Karen standing there, Jeanne could only casually borrow her junior's catchphrase to express her emotions. Of course, after that, Jeanne did not disturb Otto too much, and simply walked out of the room that Otto used to recall his story.
Outside the door stood two people, Cecilia and Kiana K. Joestar. Judging from their expressions, Kiana knew very well that they had something to say to her.
"What? Is there something you want to tell me?" Miss Jeanne asked Cecilia.
“Of course, it’s about the situation of spirit particle transfer adaptability.” Cecilia replied to Miss Jeanne’s words, having already anticipated that Miss Jeanne had guessed what she was going to say before she even spoke.
"Spiritual particle transfer adaptation, what did Einstein discover?" Upon hearing this so-called key word, Miss Jeanne's eyes, which had softened slightly after reading Otto's memories, sharpened again. However, it was understandable that Miss Jeanne would take it seriously, after all, this matter could be very important.
“After considering the differences between the two worlds, Einstein readjusted the adaptability part of spirit particle transfer. That is to say, from now on, Kiana, Bronya, Seele, Sirin, and Ayai and Aya San can all perform spirit particle transfer,” Cecilia answered Miss Jeanne’s question. As for how Einstein tested the adaptability part of spirit particle transfer, Cecilia didn’t know, but Cecilia knew that Einstein wouldn’t joke around with his teammates’ lives.
"Hmm~" Upon hearing this, Miss Jeanne slightly raised one hand to stroke her chin and began to ponder why Cecilia and Kiana K. Joestar were able to perform spirit transfer while others could not.
Miss Jeanne pondered the list Cecilia had mentioned, as if she had grasped something important, but after a few seconds of thought, she felt that she hadn't quite grasped the key point, so in the end she could only sigh.
However, whether Miss Na expected it or not, the number of people involved in this spirit particle transfer has indeed increased.

The Genius and the Two-in-One Detective (Part 2): Chapter Seventeen: Don't Give Up, Lord Otto!!!
Miss Jeanne, Cecilia, and their daughter Kiana K. Joestar are preparing to use the Spirit Transfer System to reach a point in time that allows Fu Hua to remember Mei's message to Miss Jeanne and to save Kallen. This point in time is provided by Otto, since no one knows that era better than Otto.
In 1505, the Kipchak Steppe became the site of the decisive battle between the Ming Empire and the Mandate of Heaven.
The year 1505 is the time that Jeanne, Cecilia, and Kiana K. Joestar are supposed to reach. According to Fu Hua, she hadn't lost her powers at that time, so she should still remember some things from 50,000 years ago. According to Otto, Kallen was still alive at that time. Therefore, this is the time that Jeanne and the others are supposed to reach. However, before considering what to do next, Jeanne has a small problem that needs to be dealt with in advance.
"............So, why are we still high in the air?" Miss Jeanne looked at the grassland full of dead bodies and finally couldn't complain about these ridiculous things anymore. But this time was different. This time, Einstein and the others had considered this situation and prepared some countermeasures for Miss Jeanne and the others in advance.
Of course, Cecilia and Kiana don't actually need these countermeasures. After all, they are both Valkyries who can physically descend from the atmosphere. So, among the people present, only Kiana needs to use the measures prepared by Einstein.
"So why am I the only one who needs a hang glider?" Jeanne complained, feeling the fierce wind. However, Jeanne was just complaining. Although Cecilia could land directly using the Black Abyss White Flower, she still used a hang glider to avoid being noticed by the people on the ground. Similarly, Kiana used a hang glider for the same reason.
"Forget about that, look down there. The one wearing the Valkyrie battle suit should be Kallen Kaslana, Schicksal's strongest Valkyrie, and the one fighting Kallen should be Fu Hua." Ignoring Miss Renna's words, Cecilia directly confirmed the information of the two people fighting below based on the information given to them by Fu Hua and Otto.
Listening to Cecilia's explanation, Miss Jeanne began to directly assess the situation of the two people fighting below.
If we were to simply estimate based on their respective strengths, Ms. Jeanne felt that the two of them were roughly evenly matched. And the subsequent battle unfolded exactly as Ms. Jeanne had predicted, with Kallen being unilaterally suppressed by Fu Hua. Moreover, Ms. Jeanne also noticed something else: Fu Hua was probably holding back.
Moreover, Fu Hua may have been holding back more than just, since Jeanne noticed that Fu Hua's eyes were frequently glancing in her direction.
"Once their situation is resolved, we'll head down directly. After all, that brat Fu Hua should have already seen us." Miss Jeanne said this to Cecilia and Kiana, looking at the red kite whose eyes kept drifting towards them.
"Okay, I understand." Just seconds later, Cecilia's voice came from the other glider, indicating that she already knew.
"Hey, hey, how did you know Jeanne's mom found us?" Unlike Cecilia, Kiana asked her question directly. It was understandable that Kiana would ask, since she wasn't Jeanne's partner.
Since Miss Jeanne's partner was not aware of how accurate Miss Jeanne's judgments of certain people were, she naturally wouldn't know.
"Well, you'll find out when we get down." Miss Jeanne wasn't really keen on explaining Kiana's question. After all, Miss Jeanne knew that explaining things like eye contact was a real hassle. Besides, Miss Jeanne was pretty sure that Fu Hua's memories were still intact at this point. But considering that, Miss Jeanne started to wonder what had happened to Fu Hua in the remaining five hundred years.
While Ms. Jeanne was speculating about what happened to Fu Hua in the following five hundred years, the battle that followed unfolded exactly as she had predicted. Kallen was subdued by Fu Hua, and Ms. Jeanne also confirmed that Kallen's body was almost completely unharmed. From this perspective, Ms. Jeanne was somewhat unsure of Fu Hua's true strength.
Of course, now is not the time to send that young lady away, after all, Miss Jeanne confirmed with Otto before she came that this matter is not over yet.
Just like the record that Jeanne saw with Otto, not long after, the still young Otto stood alone in front of Kallen. Seeing Otto standing in front of Kallen, Fu Hua only sighed slightly and then left.
However, after Otto took Kallen away, Fu Hua turned back and looked up at Jeanne and the others who were still floating in the sky.
"Huh?! We were actually discovered." Kiana said, looking at Fu Hua, who was standing still and looking up at them.
"I told you so... Cecilia, use the White Flower Landing method. After all, we don't have a way to land quickly here." Miss Jeanne looked at Fu Hua standing below and finally released her hang glider, changing from gliding in the sky to freefall.
Seeing Miss Jeanne fall into freefall, Cecilia readily let go and threw away the Black Abyss White Flower she had been holding.
Under Cecilia's power, the Black Abyss White Flower pierced the ground. The moment it pierced the ground, the power of the Black Abyss White Flower caused the surrounding vegetation to grow rapidly. In the end, the vegetation grew into a barrier that could slightly buffer Miss Jeanne and the others.
Thanks to the cushioning effect of the vegetation, Miss Na and Cecilia landed directly on the ground, while Kiana successfully hung on a tree branch. The perfect and perfectly cool landings of Miss Na and Cecilia created completely different visual styles.
However, Ms. Jeanne didn't have time to think about the different art styles right now. After all, looking at Fu Hua's complicated gaze, Ms. Jeanne had absolutely no idea what to do.
"Should I say, it's been a long time, Hua?"

Thank you for the recommendation votes and the razor blades from "Is it wrong to like this girl?"
The Genius and the Two-in-One Detective (Part 2): Chapter 18 Otto, you're also a knight who needs to work harder.
The relationship between Miss Jeanne and Hua is actually quite subtle. This was never evident during the Moth of Fire era, but now, so-called 50,000 years later, the only word to describe their relationship is subtle.
This is the conclusion Cecilia drew from looking at Jeanne and Fu Hua standing there, and it is also the conclusion Kiana K. Joestar, who was hanging in the tree, drew. The subtle relationship between Jeanne and Fu Hua has now reached a point where any normal person can see it at a glance.
"...Jeanne, you handle this yourself. Kiana and I will go track down Kallen first." Cecilia glanced at Miss Jeanne, then her eyes lingered on Fu Hua, who remained silent, before making this decision.
After saying this, Cecilia left directly. Of course, Kiana, who was in the tree, understood Cecilia's actions a little after seeing the current delicate situation. However, Kiana was not very able to accept this approach, but it was the best approach at the moment. Therefore, after Kiana climbed down from the tree, she could only obediently follow Cecilia.
As Cecilia and Kiana left, neither of them spoke; they simply looked at each other quietly.
"..." In the end, Fu Hua couldn't help but move. She walked directly in front of Jeanne and slapped her across the face.
Instead of dodging as before, Ms. Jeanne accepted Fu Hua's slap without flinching. After Fu Hua delivered the slap, she hugged Ms. Jeanne.
Because of the six-centimeter height difference between the two, and the fact that Miss Jeanne wasn't wearing heels, it turned into a tall girl hugging a girl who was half a head shorter than her.
