Cecilia and Jeanne Alter might get some sweet moments later, but given my writing style, the most likely scenario is that I'll skip those seven years altogether...

Thank you Jeanne Darc, for the recommendation vote.

A Frenzy of Ripples and Blood: Chapter Four - Two Playful Girls

Ten days passed after that conversation.

Cecilia has finally begun to adapt to this era.

This was an unfamiliar and backward era for Cecilia, who was born at the end of the 20th century, but it was the best of times because there was no Honkai energy here.

Cecilia believed she knew very well what the lack of Honkai energy meant.

However, it wasn't until Cecilia saw the records of the Black Death that she finally understood what it meant to not have Honkai energy.

Yes, the cause of the Black Death was the plague, not the Honkai. As a result, the disease lasted longer than expected, but unexpectedly...

The death toll has decreased.

Even though the duration was much shorter than here, the death toll was higher, something Cecilia hadn't anticipated.

However, Cecilia finally understood after carefully considering the side effects of the Honkai.

The death toll here might just be from illness, but what about the Honkai?

It's likely that many more died from Honkai Beasts, since Honkai brings forth Honkai Beasts, and the Honkai Beasts tend to move towards areas with life.

This is what made Cecilia start to think about whether or not she should go back there.

She is the saintess of Shaniat, one of the highest combat forces of Destiny, and also a mother of a girl.

However, that was the person I would be later, not the person I am now.

So why should I go back now? Although it's my home, it's not a good place to return to.

This is not something to laugh about. Cecilia didn't really have much of a sense of belonging in that world; all she felt was the responsibility of being the saintess of Shaniat.

The current situation is that Cecilia no longer needs to take on the responsibilities of Saintess Shaniat, and similarly, that world has nothing for her to miss.

Yes, there's nothing to regret anymore. This is the best outcome. According to Jeanne, even Theresa seems to have successfully found her goal.

At that time, Theresa would probably start working on things related to St. Freya Academy after Cecilia left.

Do I really need to go back?

Aside from possibly going back to see that daughter who is now a complete stranger to me, is it really necessary to go back?

Cecilia didn't understand, or rather, Cecilia, who had been training since childhood because of her extraordinary talent, certainly couldn't understand this.

But Cecilia had a vague feeling that she might not need to go back. Although she might be important, Cecilia understood one thing even more clearly.

If I'm not mistaken, having given birth to a child would have prevented me from being on the battlefield for several years. However, I remained safe and sound until 2000, which means that even if fate had left me, it would still continue to operate.

Even without us, destiny continues to operate. Isn't that a good thing?

Yes, it's very good, but that's precisely why Cecilia feels there's no need for her to go back.

Yes, even when you're not around, fate still works, so why not give yourself a long vacation?

And since this is a long holiday without a return period, there is naturally no need to go back to work.

At this point, Cecilia finally realized that she might not need to go back. Although there was someone here who seemed to be a Herrscher, like Cecilia, she couldn't do anything in this world without Honkai energy.

"Have you figured it out?" Because he was lost in thought, he didn't notice that his room door had been opened.

Similarly, they didn't notice the guy who slipped in after opening the door.

At that moment, a single sentence startled Cecilia slightly.

However, although it's unclear how she found out about this, it must be said that she asked at a very opportune time, right after Cecilia had made her decision.

"Hmm, I just figured it out." Although slightly startled, she still gave an answer. Although the answer to the question was unusually simple, it was worth pondering.

"And the answer?" The man's lips curled up slightly, as if he had already guessed the answer Cecilia wanted to give, but he still asked the same question, as if it were a routine question to Cecilia.

"Hmm, I think..."

“I should…” Although she had found the answer, Cecilia realized the difficulty of making such a decision when she tried to say it.

Although my mind had figured it out, my body refused to give that answer.

"Stay."

Despite her physical resistance, Cecilia finally managed to utter those three words.

"I see."

"Didn't you already guess that?"

"No, I just feel that I would support whatever you choose, since you were inexplicably dragged into this situation."

"Eh~~~~"

Why are you so surprised?

"It's nothing, I just felt a sense of malice towards my own wild thoughts."

"What kind of saying is that?"

The conversation between the two was completely different from the atmosphere three days ago; now they truly seemed like the acquaintances Miss Jeanne had described at the beginning.

“That’s how it’s said,” Cecilia said. This was the first time Cecilia had communicated so smoothly with a girl her own age.

"Alright, alright, now that we've taken this crucial step in life, how about making a slight change to our appearance?"

As she spoke, Miss Jeanne walked behind Cecilia and gently lifted Cecilia's long hair, except for her sideburns, a little bit.

Turning to look in the mirror, she saw a short-haired girl. Although she had the same face as before, she looked much more energetic.

While it's true that young girls should have long, flowing hair, that might not be the case for Cecilia, because with her previous long hair, Cecilia seemed to lack any vitality.

"No way! What do you want to do to my beautifully maintained long hair?!" As if having decided to stay in this world, Cecilia's heart had shifted slightly towards that of a young girl.

However, while they said they didn't want their hair cut, they didn't actually do much to stop it.

Perhaps deep down, Cecilia also hoped that her image would change along with her heart.

Yes, the two girls' playful banter ended with Cecilia cutting her hair.

The two girls here were laughing, their silvery laughter reaching many ears. Like a yawn, happiness is contagious.

And seeing the two girls playing around, quite a few people appeared; it was a very good idea.

I almost fell asleep while writing this...

That's really dangerous..........

To be honest, I really think Cecilia looks better with short hair than long hair, I don't know why.

A Ripple and Blood Frenzy: Chapter Five - The Ripple Detective and the Ripple Doctor

The man was dressed in black and running through London at night, but he was more than just running.

Yes, she gives the impression of being tracking something.

Finally, she arrived at her destination, a gigantic building, but she didn't need a regular entrance; she needed a special one, like a small door next to the stairs.

Open the wooden door and step inside.

Inside is a short staircase.

After descending the stairs, you come to a new doorway, in which stands a person carrying a kerosene lamp. The dim light barely illuminates any area in this vast space.

Before the person carrying the lantern looked over, her body was already pressed against the door on the left.

'Attack the head from the left side to disable their hearing. This is the primary point of attack.'

Second, lock their throat, disable their vocal cords, and prevent them from shouting.

'Third, if the person is an alcoholic, strike their ribs hard, aiming for their liver.'

'Fourth, the final blow: grab his left leg and shatter his kneecap.'

'Based on the predicted effects, complete loss of consciousness within ninety seconds, with the fastest recovery time being at least fifteen minutes, and full recovery of physical strength is simply impossible.'

With that thought in mind, she covered her head with the extra black cloth from her clothes, waiting for her chance.

Just as she had expected, the man carrying the kerosene lamp arrived quickly.

However, as mentioned before, the area illuminated by the kerosene lamp was not large, and the person was also distracted, so naturally he did not notice the abnormality in the corner.

Then I was hit by a combo.

He let the man fall, picked up the kerosene lamp from his hand and the hat from his head, and headed down the building, where a long spiral staircase led down.

Following the passage, they eventually arrived at the second floor of a large hall. Five people were standing at the several exits of the hall, with one person standing in the very center and another woman in a white dress lying in front of him.

The person standing in the center of the hall was muttering something, but she was too far away to hear clearly.

Suddenly, a hand touched her shoulder, but just as the owner of that hand was about to make a move, another person appeared behind that person.

She locked the man's neck, while she had previously covered the man's mouth and nose to stop him from breathing.

“I like this hat,” the girl locked up said softly.

"I just got my hands on it," he replied.

Where's your revolver?

"I felt like I'd forgotten something."
