Chapter 48 Some Things.
(*Celia’s POV*)
Rather than go right ahead with the plan to take over Coltern, it was decided that I needed to train first. Victoria insisted that I should have Penni, Arenti, and the rest of the maids train me.
When, even as a little girl, I was able to easily deal with them, Victoria stopped insisting on me training with them. I already know how to fight, it is just that my body isn’t strong at the moment.
Victoria: “How are you going to get stronger?” She asked.
Celia: “My power is explained through levels in my System. Levels are increased by killing things, which gives me experience points. The higher level I am, the more powerful I become.” I explain.
Victoria: “Killing things? Did those bandits count?” She asked with a curious tone.
Celia: “Yes, they did. Right now, I am at level 5 of 100. Once I reach level 100, I can evolve into a stronger race.” I answer.
Victoria: “…”
While she was lost in though, I decided to mess around with the few SIP’s that I still had from leveling up earlier. Once done, Victoria was still in the process of thinking about something, so I had the time to peek at my current Status.

Hm… I am not really that much stronger at all… Though, I should be far stronger than a normal child my age. But such a Status is a far cry from my original power. I am still pissed off that I didn’t get to check my Status before getting sent to this dimension…
Victoria: “The kingdom that we hail from is called Brestia. With Penni, you can travel to it and become an adventurer at the guild.” She proposed.
Celia: “Why would I do that?” I ask.
You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.
Victoria: “Once you’re an adventurer, you can go to various dangerous places. In such places you can get stronger. My plan doesn’t need to go into effect for a few years, and you can perhaps find your mother while adventuring.” She explained.
Celia: “Hm… Won’t I have to start at some low rank?” I ask with a raised eyebrow.
Victoria: “Rank? No. You can take on any request, even if it is to take on a dragon. As an adventurer, you’re responsible for yourself and your own decisions. The guild won’t hand your hand.” She denied.
Celia: “Alright, then. I guess that I will go do that. But why will Penni follow me?” I ask.
Victoria: “Penni is very strong. She will follow you at least until you have enough strength to take care of yourself.” She answered.
Celia: “Okay. When should I leave?” I reply.
Victoria: “You can leave tomorrow at the latest.” She replied.
And that was what I decided to do. The next day, Penni met me outside Victoria’s castle, which apparently can move. Penni no longer dawned a maid outfit. Instead, she looked like a young adventurer.
Penni: “Are you ready, Celia?” She asked.
Celia: “I am, you?” I reply.
Penni: “Of course. Now, our cover is that we’re sisters, okay?” She reminded.
Celia: “I know, I know.” I reply with a shrug.
Victoria wasn’t here to see us off, as I had pissed her off this morning. She was very adamant that I should wear leather clothes, or at least an outfit than an adventurer would wear, but I denied it. My entire second life, I have gone through it in cute dresses, even in dire situations.
That isn’t something that I will ever change. Besides, killing things and people while looking like a little pretty princess is fun. Not to mention, it makes people underestimate me by a lot. Which is what I argued. Victoria was pretty upset, I almost felt like she sees me as her daughter, or something…
Penni: “Do not worry about Mistress, Celia.” She said with a giggle.
Celia: “Why was she so upset? I don’t get it.” I reply.
Penni and I were already on the carriage, with our destination being Brestia’s capital city. Annoyingly, I cannot fly, and this little trip will take an entire week to complete. That is, assuming that we do not stop at any point.
Going by how I am now a child, stopping will be required. As such, it might take us over two weeks to make it to our destination…
Penni: “Mistress has a daughter. Lady Verma had gone missing many years ago, and you remind us of her a decent bit. Due to that, please forgive Mistress for seeing you as her daughter. In the end, she is just worried about you.” She explained.
Celia: “That’s what I figured… I don’t want to get attached to anyone in this dimension, though. I will have to leave it eventually, after all.” I reply with a sigh.
Penni: “Will you truly not be able to come back?” She asked.
Celia: “I might be able to…” I reply with an unsure tone.
Penni: “What do you mean?” She asked with a raised eyebrow.
Celia: “Well, I had recently evolved into a Supreme Goddess. Apparently, I can travel to different dimension, but I didn’t get the chance to test it out before I got sent to this dimension.” I reply with a thinking pose.
I mean, that is just going on the words of others. I don’t actually know if I can travel to different dimensions or not. Of course, it’s not like I can even test such a thing at the moment. At least, not until I find Yona and go back.
Penni: “How unfortunate… Gods and Goddesses in this dimension tend to have domains. What is your domain, Celia?” She asked with a curious tone.
Celia: “That seems to be the same for every dimension. As for me, I am… or was, a Supreme Goddess of Lesbian Love.” I answer in a nonchalant tone.
Penni: “…”
Celia: “?”
Penni: “Is that why you saved those Elves, even if you got nothing in return for doing so?” She asked.
Celia: “That’s right. You’re fast on the pickup. My domain doesn’t mean that I want to seduce every woman or female, just that I love them. In a non sexual manner, I mean. Though, I do have four wives.” I explain.
Penni: “A Supreme Goddess, huh?… I don’t recall there being any being like that in our dimension.” She said with a thinking pose.
As the carriage hit a small bump, I heard my dagger shaking around on my side. It was the same one that I stole from Arenti. They let me keep it, which was nice.
Celia: “Do you want your dagger back?” I ask in a nonchalant tone.
Penni: “Thanks, but I don’t need it…back…” Her words were stifled.
Celia: “So… Penni the maid also doubles as Arenti the knight, huh?” I say with a smug tone.
Penni: “…”
Her reaction told me all that I needed to know. I mean, when I was training with Arenti, Penni was nowhere to be seen. And when I trained with Penni, Arenti was missing as well. She tried to change her fighting style, but it was far too similar each time.
Ah! It feels so good to see through so many different things! Is this a side effect for me being a higher being? It feels oddly amazing to somehow guess the correct answer so easily. In fact, this feeling and me loving to help females out, is what replaced my battle junkie side. I might need to ask someone about this in the future…
