"...Yes, I know. Well then, Kiana, you two can stay here. After all, it's best for you two to stay here for now." Cecilia glanced at the two embracing and smiled slightly. After all, it's best not to disturb the conversation between the girls (?).

"That's settled then, we'll head up now and come back to find you later." After Cecilia agreed, Miss Jeanne gave the two a few gentle reminders before starting to climb the mountain.

Moreover, on the way up the mountain, Miss Jeanne and Cecilia had a few things to discuss.

"You have something to say, Jeanne," Cecilia asked Jeanne as they walked along the mountain path, as if she had already sensed that Jeanne had something to say to her privately.

"You noticed?" Miss Jeanne was slightly taken aback, but she understood after realizing that the person standing next to her was Cecilia.

After all, Cecilia has always been the best at controlling Jeanne's personality; she can basically tell what Jeanne is going to do just by lifting her butt.

"More or less." Cecilia replied simply to Miss Jeanne's question, a response that was exactly what Miss Jeanne had expected, given their consistently uneventful relationship.

"Then I'll get straight to the point. When do you think we should go back to see Jojo and the others?" Miss Jeanne paused slightly before asking Cecilia this question, which was something Miss Jeanne had wanted to ask Cecilia for a long time.

"Let's go back. Let's finish this and go back. Take these brats with us, and then go back and check on Jojo and the others. Besides, I do have some things to take care of over there." Cecilia said this after a look of reminiscence on her face when she heard Miss Jeanne's question.

“Yes, you do have things to do over there.” Miss Jeanne looked at Cecilia’s face and, for some reason, thought of Adeline and Hudson, whose important things had been stolen by Cecilia.

“Of course, I will explain things properly to Adeline and Hudson.” Cecilia noticed Miss Jeanne’s gaze in just a few seconds, then put away her reminiscing expression and looked directly at Miss Jeanne.

As Jeanne and Cecilia met their gazes, for some reason, the two of them suddenly laughed.

Accompanied by their laughter, Cecilia and Miss Jeanne quickly arrived at the shrine at the top of the mountain.

Looking at the shrine, Ms. Jeanne took out her small red notebook and started searching through it. After all, Ms. Jeanne wasn't very good at organizing information, so after Cecilia left, she used a small notebook to store her information.

"Stop looking. Yae Sakura said that she should be on her way back to the shrine at this time. We just need to wait a few seconds." Cecilia said, looking at Jeanne who was searching through the documents, directly stating what Yae Sakura had reminded her of earlier.

“Well, in that case, we should just wait.” After hearing Cecilia’s words, Miss Jeanne immediately closed the notebook she hadn’t found the information in yet. The reason for doing so was simple: Cecilia and Miss Jeanne had been apart for far too long. During this long separation, Miss Jeanne had naturally developed the habit of flipping through her notebook. However, after Cecilia spoke, Miss Jeanne suddenly realized that Cecilia was right beside her, which is why she closed the notebook.

The reason Cecilia didn't explain before is because these documents were collected by Otto and given to Miss Jeanne, and Cecilia hadn't seen what was written on them. Or rather, out of trust in her lover, Cecilia didn't look at them, nor did she need to.

"Ah, she's here." Not long after, Miss Jeanne spotted Yae Sakura at this time of day from one side of the torii gate.

"Have you thought of your words? After all, according to the setup, we're just passersby who are passing by this shrine seeking a little help." Cecilia looked at the cherry blossom-colored shrine maiden in the distance and asked Miss Jeanne this question as a final gesture.

"Yes, it's been prepared for a long time." Miss Jeanne's answer was exactly what Cecilia expected, after all, Miss Jeanne was the one in charge of communication in this two-person detective team.

The Genius and the Two-in-One Detective (Part 2): Chapter Twenty-Two: There are no more competitors, don't give up, Lord Otto!!!

When Jeanne and Cecilia came down from the mountain, Kiana and Yae Sakura were still standing there. Unlike before, it seemed that things had changed slightly between them.

However, looking at the two of them, both Jeanne and Cecilia couldn't help but sigh. After all, among their daughters, apart from Bronya and Seele (who knows when they secretly pledged their lives to each other), Kiana and Yae Sakura's relationship was progressing the fastest. But even if it was progressing quickly, Jeanne and Cecilia still hadn't gotten to eat the red bean rice they talked about last year.

“I think the two of us should go for a walk,” Miss Jeanne suggested to Cecilia, looking at the two of them whose hands were almost touching.

"Stop thinking about it. Unless we resolve Karen's problem, those two are impossible." Cecilia looked at the tiny distance and finally reached a conclusion that Miss Jeanne couldn't reach. The reason Miss Jeanne couldn't reach this conclusion was simply because she was too slow-witted.

"That's true, Kallen. It's still Yae Sakura's heartache." After Cecilia's reminder, Miss Jeanne realized why Yae Sakura couldn't hold Kiana's hand. However, this was the normal situation. After all, Kallen from the other world could be considered truly dead. Although there was a possibility of resurrection, Yae Sakura and Otto's beliefs were ultimately different, and this slight difference led to the difference in Yae Sakura's behavior and way of doing things.

The most fundamental difference between the two is that Yae Sakura has her own thoughts on whether or not Kallen should be resurrected, but she can't figure out exactly what her thoughts are about Kallen's resurrection. It can only be said that Yae Sakura currently only has a vague understanding of her own thoughts.

The reason for this ambiguity is that Yae Sakura's heart desires Kallen to be resurrected, but Yae Sakura's rationality tells her that she should not resurrect Kallen. It is precisely because of this that Yae Sakura has a vague understanding of her own thoughts.

Now, Kiana is waiting for Yae Sakura to come up with an answer. After all, if Yae Sakura's idea is not to revive Kallen, Kiana still has a chance. On the other hand, Kiana will also let go properly. After all, this matter was something Kiana took advantage of. Based on this idea, Kiana will choose to let go of the hand she had already held.

"I have a slight headache." Miss Jeanne looked at the two people standing there and finally said this. However, it was normal for her to say such a thing. After all, only the person experiencing the heartache can resolve it. And this situation meant that even Miss Jeanne herself was unsure how her daughter's first love would turn out.

"Let the young people handle their own affairs." Cecilia concluded, looking at the two of them.

“That’s true. Let’s finish what we’re doing now.” After listening to Cecilia’s words, Miss Jeanne made the same judgment after looking at the two of them.

Having clearly seen how things were progressing between the two, Miss Jeanne eventually obediently walked towards them with Cecilia.

"Hey, you two seem quite affectionate," Cecilia greeted the two of them, though her words weren't exactly accurate.

"No, no, I didn't." Then, Kiana blushed like a girl caught in a puppy love by her parents. But, do women from the Kaslana family really blush? Miss Kiana thought it was probably not true.

“Cecilia, you’re almost done on your end. After all, we still need to discuss this a bit more.” Miss Jeanne said this as she looked at Cecilia, who had a blank smile on her face.

"Miss Jeanne, what information did you two obtain?" Yae Sakura remained quite natural in the face of Kiana's slight shyness. However, it was understandable that Yae Sakura acted so naturally, as she herself didn't yet know what to do.

"From my indirect inquiries, I've learned that Kallen hasn't been found by you in this world yet. Also, she hasn't been corrupted by Honkai energy yet. Moreover, she seems to have just returned from the graveyard on the back mountain." Miss Jeanne looked at Yae Sakura, hesitated for a moment, and then told Yae Sakura everything she had found on the mountain.

"..." Yae Sakura didn't react much to the first part of Jeanne's words, but when she heard about the situation at the grave, although she still didn't speak as before, Jeanne could tell that Yae Sakura's mood was slightly down.

However, Kiana quickly walked over and said directly to Yae Sakura, "Let's go up together."

"But I'll be discovered by the people of this world, won't I?" Yae Sakura said, listening to Kiana's words. Although what she said made sense, for some of the white-furred girls in the Kaslana family, there was no need to pay attention to such strange reasons. They just wanted to go wherever they wanted.

"Alright, let's talk about it when we get caught. Anyway, it's impossible for our skills to be discovered. If Jeanne comes, you can just turn into a stigma on me, right?" Just like before, this kind of thing is hard to explain to the white-haired girl from the Kaslana family, and of course, it's also hard to explain to the two white-haired girls from the Joestar family.

"Can..."

"No buts, let's go up." Kiana said, grabbing Yae Sakura's hand and dragging her up the mountain.

"These two are really something." Miss Jeanne looked at the two people on the mountain path, a slight smile playing on her lips.

“As I said, these things should be left to the young people to handle. We two shouldn’t get involved.” Cecilia said this to Miss Jeanne, looking at the two people on the mountain path.

"Well, let's wait for them here for a bit. Although I'm a little worried that they might come into contact with Yae Sakura from this era, history is nothing compared to the happiness of our own daughters." Finally, Miss Jeanne said these words to Cecilia.

I've finished writing it properly. There'll be another chapter later. Tomorrow is the promised extra update, since I won't have time after today's exam (actually, I'm just slacking off).

Thanks to Nero Claudius for the recommendation, monthly pass, and even a knife!

The Genius and the Two-in-One Detective (Part 2): Chapter Twenty-Three: Lord Otto, you must work hard!!!

Half an hour after Kiana and Yae Sakura went up the mountain, they came down hand in hand. Seeing this, Jeanne and Cecilia smiled slightly and then led them to their lodgings for the night.

The place where they lived was also found out from Yae Sakura in this world.

As for Karen, she's still adrift at sea. However, based on the tracker Jeanne left on Karen, Jeanne estimates that Karen should arrive in Yae Village by tomorrow morning.

However, when it comes to Karen drifting to Yae Village, Miss Jeanne can't understand it.

After all, the records that Miss Jeanne saw back then indicated that Yae Village suffered from drought, which led to the sacrifice of Yae Sakura's younger sister.

However, when Miss Jeanne looked at the river connecting to the sea on the map of Yae Village, she couldn't even begin to imagine what kind of situation Yae Village could be experiencing a drought.

"So after all that, Jeanne, you're just saying that all those trivial things we did back then were completely pointless?" Cecilia concluded after listening to Jeanne's explanation.

"Who knows why it's so dry here? But we can't rule out the possibility that they're killing a girl to send to the Honkai Beasts, since the Honkai energy in the Far East has always been quite high." After thinking for a moment, Ms. Jeanne came to a new conclusion.

“Perhaps, but those things are no longer something we should be thinking about. Or perhaps, the Yae Rin who was sacrificed back then is now Yae Sakura’s younger sister. Considering that, perhaps her going to the graveyard before isn’t so incomprehensible.” Cecilia said to Miss Jeanne, looking at the tombstone in front of her.

“So, the reason we came out so late at night was to check on Karen beforehand. After all, we’ve come this far, so it’s possible that Karen didn’t drift here.” Miss Jeanne stood beside Cecilia, her eyes becoming slightly more perceptive.

“Then let’s go. After all, Karen’s situation is more important.” Cecilia stood up and looked at the tombstone standing there again. She was slightly incredulous at the superstition of people in the feudal era, but at the same time, she felt sorry for this poor girl.

"..." Unlike before, this time Miss Jeanne did not respond directly to Cecilia's words. Instead, her eyes were fixed on the grave behind the tombstone, as if she had seen something.

"What? Did you find something?" Cecilia looked at Miss Jeanne. She knew very well that Miss Jeanne had discovered something very important, something that Cecilia herself was unaware of.

“Let’s wait a bit before we go over there. I’ll go take a look first.” With that, Miss Jeanne quickly passed the tombstone and walked to the grave behind it: “This is…”

Miss Jeanne looked at the tiny point of pale blue light in her line of sight and understood what it was. She reached out and gently touched the point of blue light.

And some simple but chaotic images were transmitted into Jeanne's mind along with her touch.

After seeing those chaotic images, Miss Jeanne's gaze at the grave was slightly complicated. After all, she was still thinking about her sister before she died, which was quite something.

"What's wrong, Jeanne?" Cecilia asked, looking at Miss Jeanne's face.

"It's nothing, I just saw a little bit of that shitty stuff." Miss Jeanne sighed slightly after recalling the deathly pale Yae Sakura in the picture. In the end, she could only vent her dissatisfaction with words, although it had almost no effect.

“...I see. Then let’s go first. After all, we have more important things to do.” Seeing that Miss Jeanne had just blurted out her anger, Cecilia was silent for a moment before she roughly guessed what Miss Jeanne had seen. But even if she guessed it, Cecilia could only let Miss Jeanne do her more important things first.

"I know." After catching her breath to calm her displeasure, Miss Jeanne could only follow the signal displayed by the tracker on her hand.

"Do you think there might be other unexpected changes on Karen's side?" Cecilia asked, looking at Miss Jeanne, whose mood had calmed down but who still seemed quite unhappy. Her aim was to divert Miss Jeanne's attention slightly from what she had discovered.

"...As for Karen." Miss Jeanne's words trailed off at this point, but she quickly resumed: "There shouldn't be any problem, or rather, Karen's arrival here is inevitable, but what Karen carries with her is another matter."

"Is that so? Then, Jeanne, what kind of impact do you think we have on Karen?" Cecilia quickly asked a targeted question after listening to Jeanne's words. Although the question was a little difficult, Cecilia knew that Jeanne's words should be able to solve it.

"Although we can roughly guess what disappeared, it's too early to draw conclusions. Let's go to Karen's place first to check on her situation." After thinking for a while, Miss Jeanne gave an answer without providing a response.

“Is that so? Then let’s go find Karen first,” Cecilia said after listening to Miss Jeanne’s analysis.

Soon, the two of them arrived at Kallen's location. At this time, Kallen still had a gunshot wound on her arm. However, Kallen had slightly more gunshot wounds than Miss Jeanne had expected. After all, Miss Jeanne had confirmed with Yae Sakura that apart from a few wounds on her upper body, the gunshot wound on her arm was the most serious. But looking at Kallen now, Miss Jeanne couldn't tell that she only had one gunshot wound on her arm.

“Things are a little complicated. Cecilia, use the Black Abyss White Flower to heal Kallen directly, and remember to leave the wound that Yae Sakura mentioned on her body.” Miss Jeanne said to Cecilia while checking the items on Kallen’s body.

Soon, Miss Jeanne discovered another problem: the pistol that Yae Sakura mentioned Kallen used, the Fairy Bow Sylven, was missing.

"Hey, is this really necessary?" Now, Miss Jeanne was finally feeling overwhelmed. After all, without even a weapon, Kallen might very well die the first time she encountered the Herrscher-transformed Yae Sakura.

"What's wrong?" Cecilia asked, looking at Miss Jeanne. Cecilia could tell that Miss Jeanne was having a bit of a headache about this.

"It's nothing, it's just that the Fairy Bow is missing." Looking at Cecilia, Miss Jeanne gave this reply.

"...I see. It does seem quite troublesome, but let's ask Yae Sakura about it later before we can resolve it." Cecilia finally made this suggestion to Miss Jeanne.

"That's the only way. After all, the female lead can't die now." Hearing Cecilia's words, Miss Jeanne had no choice but to agree in the end.
