"No problem, it's just a brief Honkai energy burst. I can handle it with a single finger. And if I'm not mistaken, you might be able to return that box to its rightful owner tomorrow... no, today."

After hearing these words, Bronya naturally understood the reason for the Honkai energy eruption. Or rather, in Bronya's mind, there was only one possibility for such a Honkai energy fluctuation to erupt. Of course, there was actually another possibility, but that possibility had occurred far too rarely in history, so Bronya hadn't considered it.

That situation is the birth of a pseudo-Herrscher. Pseudo-Herrschers usually have the same Honkai energy fluctuation level as Herrschers and also have self-awareness. However, in reality, the birth of a pseudo-Herrscher is actually very troublesome.

The first requirement is the accumulation of a large amount of Honkai energy, and the second is that it must be influenced by the Herrscher core. Unless both conditions are met simultaneously, it is difficult for a pseudo-Herrscher to be born.

Interestingly, Yae Sakura did not meet both conditions, yet she still became a pseudo-Herrscher.

Of course, it can't be said that the two conditions weren't met, but Bronya wasn't sure whether the fox was a Herrscher or not. You know, there have only been two Herrschers so far, so strictly speaking, it's really hard to say whether the fox is a Herrscher or not.

But even if she's a Herrscher, so what? She still couldn't last a single round against Jeanne. That's why Bronya only made a phone call back, since Jeanne was still there to oversee things.

After hearing the reassuring answer, Bronya simply sighed, said "Okay, I'll prepare," and hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Bronya didn't linger in the hallway for long, but went straight into the classroom.

Seeing that the lesson had been interrupted once again because of her arrival, Bronya didn't say much. She simply walked to her seat and looked at the teacher.

Bronya's eyes held a jumble of thoughts, such as, "Why aren't you in class yet? Hurry up and start!" or "Stop this whispering discussion right now!"

Concerns about the future: Chapter Ninety-Five - Miss Jeanne's expectations for Bronya

After hanging up the phone, Ms. Jeanne glanced at the Honkai energy condensation phenomenon centered on a small open space in front of the shrine and fell into thought.

'The first problem is that this generation doesn't have the technological legacy of the previous generation, and in that case, Yae Sakura shouldn't have...'

Thinking of this, Miss Jeanne's thoughts were interrupted, and the reason for the interruption was very simple. According to Miss Jeanne's previous investigation, there was no previous generation in this world. If this were the case, then Yae Sakura would not be able to appear in reality.

At least, this reality couldn't have existed before the Key of Corruption. That's why Ms. Jeanne felt strange when she saw that box. After all, there isn't a box in this generation that can directly seal a Herrscher.

Thinking of this, Miss Jeanne sighed, then turned her head to look at the place where Yae Sakura was about to appear.

'Well, at least for now, we can't just casually crack this world.' Looking at that place, Miss Jeanne sighed, then casually took out a can of soda from the imaginary space.

Not long after, what Miss Jeanne was waiting for happened: the appearance of Yae Sakura, who had constructed a body in the real world using the Key of Corruption.

However, to Jeanne's surprise, another person appeared: the fox that Jeanne had burned into a young girl in the world of imagination.

"It seems like we've entered the real world, big sister," the girl said to Yae Sakura after looking at the surrounding trees.

Upon hearing these words, Yae Sakura simply changed from a squatting position to a standing position. After standing up, Yae Sakura looked around, as if trying to see something familiar.

However, just as Yae Sakura had guessed, the real world, apart from that shrine, had absolutely nothing that overlapped with her memories.

'Even the shrine doesn't feel so familiar anymore.' After seeing Ms. Jeanne sitting in the shrine looking at her, Yae Sakura suddenly felt that the shrine wasn't so familiar anymore.

After looking around, Yae Sakura was slightly puzzled. In her opinion, no matter how the Yae Shrine changed, it shouldn't be like this. After all, no matter how small it was, it was still a shrine. Given the situation of the Japanese, the Yae Shrine would never be so dilapidated.

unless...

Thinking of this, Yae Sakura looked at the girl standing next to her, "Hiyomaru, check here for any traces of Honkai energy."

Looking at Himeko, Yae Sakura already had the answer in her heart. Moreover, Yae Sakura could take advantage of the time while Himeko checked the Honkai energy residue in the vicinity to meet with Ms. Jeanne. After all, she still needed to properly thank her for her help in the mental world.

"Judging from your expression, you don't seem very satisfied with this shrine." Looking at Yae Sakura, Miss Jeanne didn't greet her but spoke directly to her.

Upon hearing these words, Yae Sakura was taken aback for a moment before replying, "No, I wasn't. After all, I was mentally prepared before coming, but it was still a little unexpected."

After hearing what Yae Sakura said, Miss Jeanne didn't have any particular reaction. She just looked at Hishimaru, who was standing in the small open space in front of the shrine, and asked, "Have you figured out what happened to your sister?"

Miss Jeanne's sudden words caught Yae Sakura off guard. However, this was quite normal, since Yae Sakura's thoughts were still stuck five hundred years in the past, and she still felt guilty towards her younger sister back then. That's why Yae Sakura acted somewhat out of sorts after hearing Miss Jeanne's words.

Looking at Yae Sakura's condition, Miss Jeanne sighed, "The dead cannot be brought back to life..."

After saying this, Miss Jeanne paused for a few seconds, then added, "Except for certain special beings."

Hearing this addition, Yae Sakura looked at Jeanne sitting next to her with great curiosity. However, after thinking for a few seconds, Yae Sakura still did not ask Jeanne what those special beings were.

"Thank you. I have indeed come to terms with my sister's matter, at least for now." Looking at Miss Jeanne, Yae Sakura finally gave a very normal answer.

However, precisely because this is so true, Na-jie felt that Yae Sakura hadn't figured it out yet, at least not yet, because no one would have such a strong reaction if that matter were brought up again after they had figured it out.

But what does this have to do with Miss Jeanne? In any case, Miss Jeanne is too lazy to care about Yae Sakura's affairs. Of course, that's only if her daughter isn't threatened. If her daughter's safety is endangered because Yae Sakura hasn't come out, Miss Jeanne will naturally deal with it. However, there's no need to deal with it now.

After glancing at Yae Sakura, who said she was fine, Jeanne looked into the distance. Although the mountaintop where Yae Shrine was located was covered with trees, Jeanne could still see things beyond the trees if she really wanted to. And with a glance, Jeanne could see the teaching building of Chiba Academy on the edge of the city.

'If I'm not mistaken, Bronya should be in class on the third floor right now.' Looking at the school building, Miss Jeanne thought of something, but after thinking for a few seconds, she gave up on what she suddenly wanted to do. Although it was a simple matter for Miss Jeanne, she didn't need to do it. After all, it wouldn't be good if doing this caused problems for Bronya's school life.

Here we must mention that, compared to regular training, Ms. Jeanne herself seems to prefer that Bronya enjoy her student days.

Although this hope will be shattered long afterward, at least for now, Miss Jeanne still hopes that Bronya can have a good student life. Of course, it would be even better if she could have a wonderful life, but Miss Jeanne knows that this is impossible.

After all, judging from the current situation in multiple timelines, it seems that Bronya will inevitably experience Honkai regardless of what happens.

Thinking of this, Miss Jeanne sighed helplessly.

This is a scheduled release, don't overthink it.

Concerns about the future: Chapter Ninety-Six: The Instruction of Bronya

Not long after, Miss Jeanne waited for Bronya to return from school at the shrine.

Looking at Miss Jeanne sitting in the shrine, Bronya suddenly felt that Miss Jeanne seemed a little different today, or rather, compared to Miss Jeanne yesterday, Miss Jeanne today had something else, something that made people feel different.

However, after carefully savoring that feeling, Bronya felt that Miss Jeanne seemed to have often exuded a similar feeling a long, long time ago.

Looking at Miss Jeanne, Bronya felt that she had something to say, but after thinking for a while, Bronya did not speak first. Instead, she walked to Miss Jeanne's side and looked at her.

"Have you noticed something?" Miss Jeanne glanced at Bronya, who was sitting silently to her left, picked up the tea on her right, and took a sip.

Upon hearing these words, Bronya did not speak, but simply turned her head to look at Miss Jeanne.

"Well~" After seeing Bronya's reaction, Miss Jeanne knew that Bronya probably knew what she was going to do next, but it might not be time to set off yet.

“Mother Jeanne, if you’re going on a long trip, please take care of your health and your diet. After all, you’re the least attentive to these things.” After glancing at Miss Jeanne, Bronya turned to look at the cherry blossom tree that Miss Jeanne had dug up and planted in the open space at some point. She sighed slightly before continuing, “But actually, Mother Cecilia will take care of this for you, so you don’t need to worry about it. Besides, your physical condition won’t allow you to die easily.”

Miss Jeanne smiled as she listened to Bronya's words.

Although Bronya was talking about very ordinary things, these were indeed problems that existed in Miss Jeanne.

After all, her detective career a long time ago had taught Miss Jeanne to put aside eating and other things whenever something happened, and the two hundred thousand years she spent in the Soul World exacerbated this situation, since in the Soul World, as long as one has a sufficiently powerful soul, one can go for a long time without eating or drinking.

Cecilia was naturally aware of this, but in the end, she chose to continue taking care of Miss Jeanne rather than reminding her. After all, there was nothing to remind her of, because a long, long time ago, Cecilia had decided that she would take care of Miss Jeanne for the rest of her life. Therefore, such trivial matters were not so important to Cecilia.

However, Bronya gave Cecilia a good reminder about something that Cecilia thought was unimportant.

Slightly surprised, Miss Jeanne turned to look at Bronya, smiled, and then patted Bronya's head: "I know, I will definitely eat well and on time, and if possible, I will definitely come back."

“Actually, you don’t need to worry about things here, because if the Third Honkai hasn’t happened yet, it means that the arrival of the Third Honkai has been postponed in the history of this world. Of course, it’s also possible that the time just hasn’t come yet…” At this point, Bronya shifted her gaze from Miss Jeanne to the evergreen cherry blossom that Miss Jeanne had dug up.

"Perhaps, but the Third Honkai Impact wasn't actually that big. At least, it wasn't like the Second Honkai Impact, which destroyed several regions of the Earth." Looking at Bronya, Jeanne sighed, then put the teacup she was holding in her right hand back on her right side before continuing, "Although I didn't want to tell you before, since I'm going on a long trip anyway, I think it might be better to tell you."

After saying this, Bronya turned to look at Miss Jeanne, seemingly wanting to see what tricks Miss Jeanne could pull.

Seeing Bronya's expression, Miss Jeanne didn't rush to speak, after all, this matter was indeed a bit troublesome.

"..." After seeing Miss Jeanne's actions, Bronya didn't rush to ask why. She just nodded at Miss Jeanne, as if to say, "I'm ready."

Seeing that look in her eyes, Miss Jeanne knew that she had guessed wrong. However, it was good that she was wrong. At least, if she was wrong, Bronya wouldn't find out about this so quickly.

However, after seeing Bronya's eyes, Miss Jeanne knew that she had no choice but to speak up. "The Herrscher born from the Third Honkai will be someone you know. Moreover, during that Honkai, you will also meet another person. I don't know much about that person's specific situation, but I can tell you that she will definitely be a Herrscher."

Upon hearing Jeanne mention an acquaintance, Bronya paused slightly before looking up at Jeanne: "The Herrscher born from the Third Honkai Impact 3rd, is it Mei?"

To be honest, Jeanne thinks it's quite normal that Bronya guessed who the Herrscher born from the Third Honkai was so quickly. After all, Bronya's social circle is only so big, and if you consider Bronya's social circle, the only person Jeanne can call Bronya an acquaintance is probably Raiden Mei.

"Yes, no matter which timeline, Raiden Mei will eventually become the third..." Ms. Jeanne paused, as if remembering something, "Or perhaps not in all timelines..."

"Hmm?" After noticing the loophole in Miss Jeanne's words, Bronya quickly realized the problem.

“There is indeed a timeline where Raiden Mei did not become a Herrscher, and in that timeline, her name was Mei.” As she said this, Ms. Jeanne recalled the woman who created the God-Slaying Armor for her.

“Mei…” Bronya repeated the name after hearing it from Miss Jeanne, as if trying to remember it. But soon, Bronya realized something else: “Mei, that seems to be the Romanized pronunciation of the name Mei.”

“Yes, Mei and Mei sound the same, so I think that Mei won’t become a Herrscher in all timelines.” After glancing at Bronya who had noticed the problem, Jeanne casually said this and then stood up.

"Are you leaving?" Bronya looked at Miss Jeanne who had stood up, but she did not stand up herself, and just looked at Miss Jeanne.

"Pretty much. After all, we've already discovered the anomaly, and I've taught you almost everything I needed to, so it's time to prepare to go check out the anomaly point." As she said this, Miss Jeanne stretched.

"Okay, then, take care on your journey."

"Ah, I'm leaving."

There's one more chapter (probably~)

Worries about the future: The key to breaking through in Chapter Ninety-Seven

After saying that, Miss Jeanne went directly to the previous era, which was about 50,000 years ago.

Although it sounds absurd, Miss Jeanne did indeed travel to 50,000 years ago. As for the method she used, it was even simpler. You see, in that world full of souls, there were quite a few people who could adjust time.

With the help of those people, Heath eventually developed a device that could allow people to travel to another dimension. Although ordinary people would die instantly after using it due to their physical limitations, Heath himself was quite remarkable for being able to develop such a thing.
