"...I'm sorry..." Miss Jeanne, feeling the pain on her face and Fu Hua's embrace, could only utter these two words in the end.

As Jeanne's words faded into the wind, the two embraced (actually, Jeanne was being hugged unilaterally) for several seconds before Fu Hua released her arms and gently touched Jeanne's still slightly flushed face.

"I'm sorry." Fu Hua looked directly into Miss Jeanne's eyes and finally said these words.

"It's alright. After all, it's my fault for making you wait for 50,000 years." Hearing Fu Hua's words, Miss Jeanne said simply at the end. However, just as Miss Jeanne said, anyone would be angry after waiting for so long. Moreover, in Miss Jeanne's estimation, Fu Hua's anger was only to this extent, which was really good.

"How long will I have to wait this time?" From Fu Hua's words, Jeanne could tell that Fu Hua had overheard everything Cecilia had said to her. Otherwise, Fu Hua wouldn't have asked such a question. Of course, Jeanne could also understand what this question implied. After all, Jeanne could probably tell from Fu Hua's tone that Fu Hua already knew that she came from the future.

"This time, it won't be longer than last time." Miss Jeanne looked at Fu Hua and said this at the end. Of course, Miss Jeanne was right to say this, after all, the time after that was only five hundred years.

Compared to the previous 50,000 years, 500 years is really a very short time.

"Won't it take longer than last time?" Fu Hua listened to Miss Jeanne's words and finally confirmed whether everything Miss Jeanne said was true.

"Yes, we will meet in the not-too-distant future (about five hundred years from now)." Jeanne said to Fu Hua with certainty in her voice, because if Jeanne didn't accidentally go to another time, they would basically not meet again for five hundred years. Moreover, the not-too-distant future that Jeanne mentioned was relative to Fu Hua's long lifespan.

"Is that so?" Fu Hua looked at Miss Jeanne and finally accepted the result calmly. After all, Fu Hua already knew that Miss Jeanne was a so-called person from the future, so it was right for Miss Jeanne not to stay in this era for long.

However, this idea that she cannot stay in this era for long is just Fu Hua's one-sided thought. After all, Jeanne and the others can stay in this time forever. As long as the possibility of dying of old age here is ruled out, Jeanne and the others are indeed capable of living with Fu Hua into the future.

However, Miss Jeanne had a few things to accomplish here. After completing these tasks, Miss Jeanne would naturally leave, taking Cecilia and the others with her.

"Well, all I can tell you is that we'll meet in the near future. After all, I can't say much more than that. Of course, I'm here for a reason too, because I heard that Mei has something to relay to you." Jeanne looked at Fu Hua and finally revealed the purpose of her visit. Fortunately, just like before she came, Jeanne's guess that Fu Hua hadn't lost any memories at this moment was accurate.

"...It's a coordinate, there's everything the Doctor wants to tell you there." Listening to Jeanne's words, Fu Hua quickly realized something. Although Jeanne said that these things couldn't be said, she still kept revealing little things from time to time.

From Jeanne's words, Fu Hua became slightly certain that her future self would inevitably be in a state of amnesia. However, this was something Fu Hua could foresee. After all, even though Fu Hua was a genetically modified warrior of the Fire Moth, she was still essentially human. Therefore, it was normal for her to lose some memories after existing for five thousand years.

"Coordinates, huh? It seems Mei left me something quite interesting." Jeanne looked at Fu Hua and finally said this.

“That thing is more than just interesting, but Dr. Mei said that you can only see it for yourself.” Fu Hua said this after listening to Ms. Jeanne’s words. It’s just that Ms. Jeanne has always been very unhappy with this kind of pretentious mystery.

"I'll go see for myself. It looks like it shouldn't be too bad." Finally, Miss Jeanne took the thing that Mei had handed to Fu Hua, which was ultimately meant for her, from Fu Hua's hands.

The meaning of that thing is actually very simple; it's just a parting gift, though of course, this gift represents a final farewell.

I spent an hour and a half working on the first half of the chapter, and only twenty minutes writing the last thousand words...

The Genius and the Two-in-One Detective (Part 2): Chapter Nineteen - So close! Don't give up, Lord Otto!!!

In the end, their parting was as silent as their meeting. But whether it was truly silent or not, Jeanne and Fu Hua were separated. For Jeanne, this separation would last no more than five years, but for Fu Hua, it would probably last for hundreds of years.

After the defeat at the Kipchak War, the Destiny army had to withdraw to the European part of the country. Due to the defeat, the entire Destiny organization had to bear the losses brought about by the war. The Destiny leadership came up with an interesting method to make up for the losses, but this method slightly deepened the contradictions between Destiny and various countries.

The genius's method was to issue indulgences, a means of making money in the name of faith. This method exacerbated the conflict between the Mandate of Heaven and the European countries, and no one knew what the consequences of this conflict would be. Of course, we should exclude the three people from the future here.

Of course, these three people would never stop such a major historical event.

"So, we've been in this era for a year now. It's still a while before Karen's accident, but anyway, we've at least gotten a lot of useful information." Miss Jeanne said this while sitting in a dilapidated little shop. Cecilia and Kiana, sitting opposite her, listened attentively to everything Miss Jeanne had to say. Of course, Cecilia and Kiana were also constantly checking everything in this era.

"So, the Black Death is indeed related to the Honkai." Kiana looked at the history book she had brought with her back then, and after referring to the information from this era, she finally confirmed the connection between the Black Death and the Honkai.

"The information Otto received is that Honkai resistance can contend with the Black Death, but just like curing smallpox, it requires injecting a small amount of Honkai to induce antibodies in the body. However, generally speaking, anyone injected with Honkai energy is almost certainly going to die." As for Kiana's question, Cecilia answered it for Jeanne, since Jeanne currently had something else to deal with.

“However, if I remember correctly, this time today should be…” As she spoke, Miss Jeanne took out a small red notebook from the imaginary space. The notebook contained very simple information; it was a record of events concerning Kallen that Otto had given to Miss Jeanne several years ago.

Furthermore, since it wasn't the Moth of Flame, Jeanne's direct use of the Herrscher's power wasn't in danger of being discovered. In addition, given that aside from Kallen, it was unlikely that anyone from Schicksal could defeat Jeanne and her group, well...

Jeanne can use the power of the Herrscher without restraint. Similarly, the food that Jeanne and the others eat here is not a product of this era. However, in reality, the supplies that Schicksal provides to high-ranking Valkyries are almost the same as those for modern people. However, because Schicksal did not experience a large-scale supply depletion event in Otto's memory, Jeanne cannot just go to Schicksal and take things away at will.

"Ah, I found it. There's a play in the square today." Miss Jeanne flipped through the little red notebook and said this to Cecilia and Kiana.

"Jeanne, I was just about to ask, is your notebook the same kind of love as Moriarty's notebook?" However, compared to Miss Jeanne's words, Cecilia's question was more tricky.

"Oh, this notebook is one of the extra ones I prepared when I was trying to fool Moriarty." Miss Jeanne answered Cecilia's question by closing the notebook. However, as she answered, Miss Jeanne also stood up and casually tossed a few copper coins onto the table.

"Are you going to see a play?" Kiana quickly connected the play that Miss Jeanne had mentioned with their current actions.

"more or less."

The little shop wasn't far from the square, or rather, it was incredibly close. However, Miss Jeanne's destination wasn't the play in the square. After all, although Shakespeare himself performed the play, Miss Jeanne had never been particularly interested in theater. It was just that she had no choice but to go now.

On stage, Shakespeare, with her red hair, performs her play in an exaggerated manner, while her words are an insult to the greatest rat of the age, namely, so-called destiny.

Of course, in this era, there is basically only one outcome for insulting Fate: being burned at the stake as a witch by Fate. However, Miss Jeanne knows very well that Shakespeare will not die here. Rather, Shakespeare will live because of Karen.

"Aren't you going to help her?" Kiana asked, looking at Shakespeare being subdued by the guards of Destiny. Although Kiana knew very well that Shakespeare wouldn't die here, seeing such a young girl being suppressed by everyone, Kiana still felt a slight urge to lend a hand.

"No, no need..." Miss Jeanne's words were interrupted by a woman wearing a tattered cloth and a mask. Of course, the three guys from the future could tell who the woman was.

After all, even though she was wearing a tattered cloth, she hadn't changed her lower body clothing, and among the people present, only one person was wearing such clothes. Therefore, all three of them could tell who the person standing there shouting "Stop!" was.

Of course, in order not to cause trouble for her own family, Karen still led her people away. After all, Karen was well aware of the harm that it would cause to Schicksal itself and the Kaslana family if she made a move here. However, did this silly dumpling really consider these two things?

Finally, Karen took Shakespeare into a small alley and began arguing over the ownership of the mask. Naturally, this was witnessed by Jeanne and the others. However, how many major events in this era could escape the sight of people from the future?

"This is what Otto meant by the beginning of Karen's fate..." Watching this scene, Miss Jeanne took out her red notebook again, flipped to the page she had seen before, and confirmed it.

And just as Otto said in the future, this encounter was indeed the beginning of Kallen's destiny.

Actually, I wanted Jeanne to say "Wagamama..." in the end, but after thinking about it, I decided against it...

Thank you woty and Daomingsi Ying for the recommendation vote.

The Genius and the Two-in-One Detective (Part 2): Chapter Twenty: Even if the opponent is Yae Sakura Otto-sama, don't give up!!!

Kallen Kaslana was born with extremely high Honkai energy resistance. At the age of sixteen, she became the captain of the Valkyrie Squad and obtained an S-rank rating. After that, due to long-term frontline combat, she sealed more than a thousand Honkai Beasts.

To recognize Kallen's achievements, Schicksal bestowed upon her a unique weapon, the Eleventh Divine Key, the Oath of Judah.

Kallen, having received the eleventh Divine Key, naturally became even more powerful. However, even though Kallen was already invincible in Schicksal at that time, she still encountered an enemy she could not harm in Shenzhou, namely the Red Lotus Immortal, Fu Hua.

After the battle in Red Falcon, Kallen, who had returned to Europe, began to discover the filth hidden beneath her destiny. Seeing this filth, Kallen began to think about what she wanted to protect.

While contemplating, Karen witnessed a play being performed in the square and gained a slight understanding of what she wanted to protect.

"So, after all that, everything Kallen has done this past month has been in vain?" Cecilia said this at the end, listening to Miss Jeanne's explanation. Although her words sounded a bit like a complaint, everything Miss Jeanne said did give Cecilia and Kiana a little understanding of Kallen's situation. Although Cecilia knew about Kallen's history, that was still history, and too much of history had been erased. Therefore, Cecilia was now able to better understand everything here.

“Enough talk, we’re going somewhere else now. Kallen disappeared after taking that box, and Otto’s request is for us to find a way to bring Kallen back from this era.” Listening to Cecilia’s complaints, Kiana closed the red notebook in her hand: “And if we go by some records from back then and Otto’s description, I can be pretty sure of some things, and that’s why I brought you here, Kiana.”

"Huh? Eh? Eh???" Kiana was completely bewildered by what Jeanne was saying. After all, Kiana couldn't understand why Jeanne would take a liking to her and bring her here. However, the detective skills she had learned from Jeanne made some connections between her past experiences: "Jeanne, the person you're bringing isn't actually me, is it?"

After saying these words, Kiana finally understood why Miss Na had brought her here. Although this reason was just a guess, Kiana was now 90% certain that her guess was true.

“Well, the person I really wanted to bring here is Yae Sakura. If we’re going by Otto’s description, Kallen should have gone to Yae Village afterward. But unfortunately, Yae Sakura doesn’t have the ability to adapt to spirit transfer. However, despite this regret, you gave me a new option: to let Yae Sakura come here in the form of a Stigmata. After all, a Stigmata is a part of you, Kiana.” Miss Jeanne looked at Kiana and said this at the end, and Kiana naturally guessed the reason behind it.

"Yae Village, ah, those are truly unpleasant memories." Kiana listened to Jeanne's words and finally sighed slightly. After all, what she experienced in Yae Village wasn't a pleasant experience for Kiana. After all, anyone would feel uncomfortable with a life-or-death battle. But soon, Kiana realized something else: "Hey, Mom, so this is why you brought me here? I thought I was useful."

"If there wasn't a reason why I had to bring you out, why would I ask for leave for you?" Miss Jeanne looked at Kiana with a slightly dangerous glint in her eyes, and Kiana knew very well why her mother was targeting her for this.

However, Kiana ultimately decided not to tell Jeanne about that matter, since she knew very well that telling her about something so vague would only make her mother worry.

"...I understand. Hurry up and call Yae Sakura out." Miss Jeanne looked at the silent Kiana and sighed slightly, thinking that her daughter had grown up and was now ready to get down to business. However, Miss Jeanne decided to let Kiana handle things herself for now, since her daughter had grown up.

"I'm already here. I've been listening to your conversation the whole time." But as soon as Miss Jeanne finished speaking, a cherry blossom-colored light appeared behind Kiana, and Kiana knew very well what that light meant.

The cherry blossom-colored light transformed into a human figure, and finally, Yae Sakura appeared in this world.

“Oh, it seems Einstein’s guess was right.” Miss Jeanne said, looking at Yae Sakura who had appeared in this world. Her words completely revealed who had made the suggestion.

"Let's talk about it on the way. For now, let's just keep an eye on the situation inside." As she said this, Miss Jeanne pointed slightly at the church shrouded in smoke.

Generally speaking, there wouldn't be such a commotion in a church on a night like this. However, based on what Otto gave to Jeanne, Jeanne can basically determine who is causing trouble inside the church. But to be fair, with such a large Honkai energy fluctuation inside, Cecilia and Kiana could also guess what's going on inside based on the Honkai energy fluctuation.

"Is Kallen fighting inside?" Yae Sakura asked, looking at the church where a huge noise had suddenly erupted, though she already knew the answer as soon as she asked the question.

"Pretty much, but you shouldn't interfere. After all, we're not from this era." Miss Jeanne looked at Yae Sakura standing there, took a sip of her canned drink, and then reminded Yae Sakura in this way.

Jeanne's reminder was reasonable. After all, Yae Sakura, unlike Jeanne and others, did not fully understand the consequences of interfering with major historical events. Therefore, based on this point, Jeanne reminded Yae Sakura not to take action.

"...Hmm." After a brief silence, Yae Sakura finally nodded, indicating that she understood, but Miss Jeanne stared at Yae Sakura.

Because Miss Jeanne knows very well that if the person involved were to return to certain important moments in time, they would definitely want to change the past. However, the risks of changing the past are ultimately too great, and Miss Jeanne, looking at Yae Sakura's current state, understands this very well.

Yae Sakura could very well change the past. Of course, it's fine to say it now, but when the time comes, how many people can really say for sure what will happen?

Before I save Karen, my chapter titles will all be about persecuting Otto.

The Genius and the Two-in-One Detective (Part 2): Chapter Twenty-One: Otto, keep it up! Kallen from the other world has already been cheated on (?)

What happened next was quite simple. Kallen escaped with the box containing the Sealer's Box of Demons. Initially, Kallen wanted to take the box to Shenzhou to seek help from the Crimson Kite Immortal, but the Taixu Mountain where the Crimson Kite Immortal lived had become a ruin.

In these ruins, Kallen naturally couldn't find the Crimson Kite Immortal who could help her seal the box.

After failing to find the Crimson Kite Sage who could possibly solve the problem of the box, Kallen had no choice but to travel by ship to the remote Far East in order to escape Fate's capture.

Of course, even after boarding a ship bound for the Far East, Karen couldn't escape the clutches of fate.

However, after confirming in a certain little red book that Kallen would eventually be safe and sound, Ms. Jeanne went to the Far East before Kallen. Or rather, Ms. Jeanne directly used the core of the Herrscher of the Void, combined with a huge amount of Honkai energy, so she was directly teleported to the Far East.

"..." Now, Yae Sakura stared at the familiar village for a long time without saying a word. Kiana knew that Yae Sakura was remembering something from back then.

"Sakura..." Kiana called out as she looked at Yae Sakura standing there.

"Yes, I know. I can't go in now." After hearing Kiana's words, Yae Sakura's silence finally ended. After all, Yae Sakura knew very well that she was not a member of Yae Village in this era, nor a member of this world. Therefore, Yae Sakura knew very well that she absolutely could not go into Yae Village.

"..." Looking at Yae Sakura standing there with a sad expression, Kiana didn't say anything this time, but simply hugged her, as if to comfort her.

“Yare yare da☆ze.” Miss Jeanne looked at the two people, smiled slightly, then turned to look at the shrine on the mountain, and finally said to Cecilia standing beside her, “Cecilia, it looks like it’s just the two of us going up.”
