I Woke Up In A Completely Different World! 44 The Servant's Servant, Part IV

Steven would be the one doing this, figuring out what to do and getting around to doing it, but the drink really knocked him out on the couch.

Madelyn: "What do you know about Twilight, Young Mi?"

Young Mi: "I only know rumors like them being as old as time. I've spoken to the Loremaster and he explained that they're in hiding because long ago; they were in a war with another group called "Scarlet Dawn." I never heard of them but Loremaster says they all just suddenly vanished. Not a single trace was left of them."

You can't just up and disappear. It sounds a lot like they were just snapped out of existence! It's either that or they're in hiding.

Madelyn: "Well, if they don't exist now, then they're not going to be a problem."

Young Mi: "Very true, but I am curious why they did disappear."

Going back over the jobs, I found a couple each in different locations around the world. They also look the most compelling to do; most of them are just going along the lines of "something suspicious happened and involved magic, check it out."

Madelyn: "Where are Esnia and Phia? What are they like?"

Young Mi: "Both are north of Ostroven. Esnia is a smaller country inhabited by Wood Elves and some beast-folk and the lesser-known Fae. Its natural environment is hilly and forested, like Zheng De Shouyi, with an archipelago to the west. Phia is more open, with lakes and rivers, massive grasslands and rolling hills and snow-capped mountains. You can find almost any race here, especially Grass, Water, and Snow Elves."

Young Mi becoming a scholar is probably one of the smartest things she could've done. There really isn't anything she doesn't know and is essentially a walking encyclopedia.

Madelyn: "Let's avoid another forest. What about the one in Phia?"

Lord knows I've seen enough trees to be sick and tired of them.

Young Mi: "The task is in Siren, a massive city. Something about the city's leadership using forbidden magic. Stuff like necromancy and mind control. It could be nothing as they're rumors."

Fuck all that! That sounds like it could be a deeply seeded problem. Steven got himself killed trying to fix something similar. If it's a problem that difficult, I don't have much hope for Esnia sounding any easier.

We may end up investigating something that doesn't exist in "Cun Yuan Haitan," the literal edge of the world.

Madelyn: "And in Esnia?"

Young Mi: "The region's Mage's Academy has been experiencing some odd phenomenon recently. Fairies being unable to blossom, student's Magic Power being drained for no apparent reason, and the forest having an unknown ominous mist."

That sounds spooky and interesting! I've wanted to see what the Academies are all about.

Madelyn: "Let's go for Esnia."

Young Mi: "Good idea, it should be easy to solve."

I opened up the envelope, revealing more information, kind of like a briefing that reads: "Reports of unusual activities have been reported in Esnia's Mage's Academy that disrupts the state of affairs. A group of 5 is recommended and must have the ability to blend in with the student body. Once arrived at the Academy, report to the Headmistress for further instructions."

Young Mi: "A group of 5? Who should we bring?"

We'll be posing as students, by the sound of it.

Steven should be a solid choice, he was a student and should blend easily. I'll be going too, I don't want to stay behind and miss out on things again. Young Mi herself should be all I need, she's the best at magic. Lilith and Rayna as well, they're just as proficient. Although Rayna looks a bit older, she might pass as a teacher or something. Now, the only people left behind are Dai-tai and Niroja.

Madelyn: "Well, I have ideas, but will Dai-tai and Niroja be fine on their own?"

Young Mi: "I raised them to look after themselves. They're very independent should the need arise."

I originally saw Young Mi as the kind of person to not teach them anything about being an adult because she didn't want to see them move on and leave her. I really made the mistake of judging too quickly.

Well, it's not a problem as long as I keep my mouth shut; nobody will get hurt because of it.

Madelyn: "So, Me, You, Lilith, Rayna, and Steven. That's who should be in our group."

Young Mi: "It sounds like a good group, but Rayna's appearance is that of a middle-aged female, is that a good idea?"

Madelyn: "I was thinking that she could blend in as a teacher. We could have more leeway if she were with us acting like one."

Young Mi: "I see, then I shall return this to Mageia Tower and tell them we're to begin preparing."

And the sooner we prepare, the sooner we can start!

Madelyn: "Steven!"

I shouted, trying to wake him from his drunken slumber.

Steven: "…Uhhh…"

Madelyn: "Wake up! We're going to Esnia's Mage's Academy!"
