Inside her office, Yinhua continuously reading the paper works and study the problem that the people encounter and how she can give some useful advices and solution for the said papers, it was the last day before tomorrow birthday celebration of the Princess Erina, Yinhua was shocked when she was invited as an honor guest, and also received the royal decree order about the controlling the disarray states of the dukedom of Duke Christopher, as she serve as their envoy and coordinator of economic implementation program.
“These guy are truly bullying me, why all the works keep befalling on me, why not Lord Reginard, Sarcein, or Lady Maia or Risa, why me? Why me!!!”Yinhua yelled as many papers flew away from her table.
“I’m tired, really tired” Yinhua said as she take a deep breath and let go a sigh.
Then a knock coming from the door, Yinhua raised again her tired body and stretch it a little bit and then she look at the door and then she heard the voice of Sylvia.
“Lady Sakura, we have a visitor and it is Lady Maia, should we take her here?”
“Yeah, take her ass here and let her see my fabulous industrious work of the year, Yay… I’m totally dead beat” Yinhua said in irritated yet tired tone.
“Then I count it as yes, I will go now milady!” Sylivia said as she leaves the door.
Yinhua then focus again to the papers and start to review it again, she then set the answered paper on the other side of the table, she immediately finish the last batch of the report papers, after a few minutes, Sylvia came and knocks the door
“Come in!”Yinhua said as she clean her table and then stretch again her tired body.
The door opens and reveal to be the two, Silvia and Lady Maia, Sylvia dress in an usual attire for work as for Lady Maia, she dressed in blue elegant dress with adorn features and styles, she wears a round hat with a feather strapped to it, give her an elegant yet charming beauty, the two entered the office, Sylvia move to Yinhua’s back, Lady Maia smiles gently to Yinhua.
“Welcome to my humble abode, your grace, Lady Maia, what is the meaning of your sudden visit at my palace?” Yinhua welcomes and then asked, as she put her right hand to her right cheek, and then smiled back to Lady Maia.
“I will cut to the chase, first, you have my greatest gratitude and thanks for saving my beloved land and kingdom, without your contribution, maybe our lands now are scorched by fire and flooded with blood now” Lady Maia said as she walks closely to lady Yinhua.
“You’re welcome, but also thank Young Lord Capistrano because he is the one who recruit me to battle at your side after all, why have a sit of course, it’s a bad attitude of me if I let my precious visitors standing and talking to me” Yinhua replies courteously as she point a coach beside the room.
“Thankfully, I appreciate your hospitality, sorry for troubling you, second is, be wary of Lord Sarcein, I felt that lecherous pig is something up for you, be aware of his underhand tactics just to have you for himself” Lady Maia said as she sit to the coach then she remember the pervert stare of Lord Sarcein to Yinhua during the meeting, at the battle and the aftermath celebration.
“Now, I feeling loved by someone again, thanks for concern, and I’ll keep his maniac pleasure in check” Yinhua said then chuckles a little bit, she didn‘t expected that fat bastard has a dark intentions to her.
“I see, if that’s the case, good! Finally, you’re name spread in the other kingdoms and dukedoms; they labeled you as “War Maiden” for your astonishing triumph in fighting Duke Christopher, and also “Grand Noble Tactician” for your mysterious persona-tic noble in fighting the hundred thousand enemies via small numbers, surely they can’t wait to see and greet you, just piece of advice, be aware of their intentions and action, we don’t know where the enemies will sprout out of nowhere” Lady Maia finishes as she crossed arms and then became serious.
“I’m not yet revealing my cards on the table, Lady Maia, for now I will play with them if that’s what they want, sooner they will found out that I’ve already outplay them on their own dangerous game” Yinhua said as she show a devilish smile.
Yinhua experience so much dangerous occasions in her past life as Jake Smith, in encountering many business men and high status people, he always come to tag along but remain vigilant, he choose the true friends and reprimand the people who is just leeching on him, he encounter many harassment, scandal and cases in his own company and continue to struggle despite of that, there are time that their company was on verge of bankruptcy due hacking of their management systems, but because he remain calm and calculate, he then proceed to protect the companies sensitive systems repairing and security adjustment and sooner track down the hacker and punish the source of the commotion, that’s why their company remain strong by his lead, he is not fighting for himself but for the people who work and support him on his track.
Jake Smith to Yinhua Huaban both have one soul but lots of experience in facing underhand tactics and surprise attacks of their enemies at their own field, but they never back down by just by a simple fault, both of them rise from fall, be it past or modern, physical or mind warfare, Yinhua knows what will she gonna do and what will be her solution to prepare to backfire his enemies attacks on her.
“Is that so, then I want to know how do you subdue the Legendary Celestial Maiden, one of the Chaos Strikers, “Sword General” Inoue Yamato?” Lady Maia curiously asked.
“Her? Ahhahahahh! She wants a good fight and then I give it to her”Yinhua casually replied as she laugh for a moment.
“By means of a fight? Amazing! You didn’t know how many poor souls and nobles are dead in her hands even in the past generations, she is considered an unstoppable force and no one dared to stand in her way, even the kingdoms that wants to annihilate her was left to dust” Lady said as she twitched in shock in Yinhua’s reply.
“Wow, that girl was that fierce in the past? Gladly I kicked her so hard until she submitted herself to me, and talk about fate, lucky me!” Yinhua said as she remember the day she fight thoroughly with Inoue.
Often the attacks of Inoue was quiet stronger, faster and deadlier than Duke Christopher, Yinhua manage to catch on her pace and outran her in her attacks, she maybe stronger a little in comparison, but Yinhua’s knowledge in martial arts and using the weakness to defeat the strength of the enemies became her trump card and upperhand in battle which as to why she can beat Inoue in battle head on and easily take down her.
As for the Ultimate skill which Inoue unleashes, Yinhua was quiet surprise to witness such Gilgamesh-like pattern of rainfall swords, but she knows how to dodge and to know the exact piercing point of the blade as to why she cast her ultimate skill “Petal Fall” as an answer to her ultimatum attack on the spot without delay and bare defeat her upon the depletion of “Soul Blade of Divine Sky” is over and her “Petal Fall” is still useful and not fully depleted.
“I see, to be honest, I was quiet envious how you managed to succeed a legendary Celestial Maiden such as her, you are truly blessed” Lady Maia said somewhat perplexed from her views of Yinhua.
“Well, It was a fate that we crossed our blade and to deal with each other, but in the end, I have edge to win that’s all” Yinhua reply as she stands from her desk and walk at the side while her back turned away from Lady Maia.
“How about we settle a talk by a walk, it so boorish if we have a plain chat in my office shall we?” Yinhua invites as she looked again to Lady Maia.
“If that’s is your wish, then I should have a little walk too, curiously speaking, the architecture of your palace seems strange to me and also the statues I saw from the front yard was quiet interesting, are they heroes from your homeland” Lady Maia ask, as she reminisces the various feature of Yinhua’s palace.
“Oh! About them, well they were my favourite characters from the story, do you want to know about them, I will tell you once we get there” Yinhua replied as she remembers the anime series she watch in her first life, how was she always updated from the anime sites and stream she always tend to be online whenever she have a free time.
The two have walked outside the room, leaving Sylvia fixes the remaining papers scattered in the other side of the floor and compiled it and put to the other parts of cabinet, she then heed out of the room and move to the reception hall to maintain the working duties of other servants of Yinhua, while the two exchanging thoughts about the improvements of the Lightenguard kingdom, Lady Maia was amazed in Yinhua’s planning for the future of the kingdom, although some of the plans are making this elegant woman quietly curious, because it was new to her and somewhat defy the common sense of the kingdom.
The planning was about the additional inventions, education, business process and other utility implementation project, the first part of Yinhua’s economic development was very successful, the changes was truly improve the people lives, albeit they become more active and livelier than their past lifestyle, also they found somewhat anew experience, they became more happy, and willing to cooperate with the planning of their beloved and amazing Lady Yinhua, if this implementation plans and changing development continues, a huge prosperity will come, and they will step to a golden era.
Sooner they reach the front yard and quiet staring at the group of anime statues, each of them have a different poses and some are equip with their suit and weapons, Lady Maia was a little amaze in such fine art of sculpting and high calibre of expertise in such way it was carved from durable stones, each of them showing their vigorous and majestic stature.
“This one female statue here is named Tohka Yatogami from the story of Date A Live, she is powerful spirit who called “Princess” and wield the Angels armament called “Sandalphon”, or known as “Throne Of Annihilation”, be warned, if she comes to this world, even the group of powerful Celestial Maidens cannot stop her tantrum is she feel pissed, she can annihilate every country with just powerful “Space Quake” that can erase the whole country without resistance” Yinhua explained as she point a statue of a majestic woman who is wearing an astral dress with adorned armored plates statue who step on a throne, and holding a huge broadsword.
“That’s, that was truly insane! You said even the Legendary “Five Pillars Of Heaven” or even the “Three Chaos Strikers” are no match to her even if they tag team her in a fight?” Lady Maia said in shocked, if this said spirit will come to this world, a total judgement day will fall on the landscape, even just the said “Space Quake” can devoured a whole kingdom in an instant, she can imagine what will happen if Tohka remain standing while piles of powerful magus and Celestial Maiden is massacred under her throne.
If you come across this story on Amazon, it's taken without permission from the author. Report it.
“Well we can’t say how much Tohka can be strong, she is very powerful in both combat, magic, defensive mechanism, and other aspects, what if when she unleash her full potential and hidden power in the throne to unleash the final form of her weapon called “Halvenhelev”, simply that was unimaginable and unmeasurable overflowing power she will show that can cause a huge mass of destruction that can even wipe a whole country, luckily she was in another world or else, if she arrives her, save your prayers and make sure you can have a devil’s luck to escape from her” Yinhua continuous explain while she look at the statue of Tohka and remember her good old days collecting the collectibles of this anime in the anime conventions.
“Wow, such power, thanks that she does not exist in this world, but then why she became your favorite one?” Lady Maia said in amazement and then she suddenly asks.
“She is very cute, innocent, and gullible, she is not a bad girl, and will not cause commotion as long as you guide her to common sense, often glutton but still have a good sense and attitude and most of all a Waifu material!” Yinhua exclaimed, cannot hold her otaku nature strikes.
“Waifu Material?” Lady Maia frowned.
“Well, as to say a wife to be dreams and wishes of people of a certain girl they like because of said “Standards” up for them” Yinhua explained as she look to the other statues.
Yinhua explain the other said statues like Shana from Shakugan No Shana, Kujo Jotaro from Jojo’s Bizzare Adventure along with his said Stand spirit Star Platinum, Naruto, RyuZU From Clockwork Planet, Tanya Degurechaff from Youjo Senki, and Rem from RE:Zero as she elaborate their history, power, abilities and their attitudes and show how they become a great heroes in their own said world, Lady Maia was truly amazed in their stories and their struggle in their environment, often their stories was somewhat anew to the ears and eyes of Lady Maia, she can imagine that these statue individuals live to their unfair world and fight for their lives from the problems and challenges they meet in their life, somewhat admirable.
“This is bugging me for a moment, who is that scary skeleton necromancer at the back, why it was alone facing in that direction, it seems it was a strong individual too” Lady Maia said as she point the lone statue of the said skeleton necromancer standing at the top of the said group statues, in his left hand a strange staff with snake shaped ornament carving and on his right hand a flag like banner arise.
“Oh, that one is truly a powerful one, his name is Momonga, but he chose to change it to his guild name and now called himself Ains Ooal Gown, He is an overlord, a supreme being, he is the guild leader of 41 Supreme beings in the tomb of Nazarick, a standing leader of the guardians which they created to protect the tomb, he is just like me, finding his lost soul in this world, it was a complicated matter I’d never like to talk” Yinhua said and explain clearly, but sooner she then stops.
“Is that so, then please forgive my further intrusion for this sensible topic” Lady Maia said as she simply understand the meaning behind the words said of Yinhua.
“No, no, no, it’s fine as long as I can share you their stories, it’s all worth, not to tell, will you believe me, even though he is undead creature, deep inside of that shell lies a human heart and soul” Yinhua said as she point Momonga’s statue.
“A powerful undead who have a heart and soul of a human, how is that possible?” Lady Maia said in confusion, she can’t believe to the statement.
Every transcendent mages who fail in Magic and Runic transformation become an undead being that can never retake their soul unless they will be purified by the church and find another vessel of the cleansed body, or they will die in battle and their soul returns to soil once again.
“He is not your average undead, because he is the ruler of death, resurrection of dead bodies are simply easy for him, but you know what, instead attacking the human settlements, he just tag along with them in secrecy, hiding his true identity” Yinhua explains, often she wants to tell about the gaming system which inflicts Momonga on the story, it will make a hard explanation is she say it to Lady Maia.
Yinhua continues to explain the architecture of her palace and which why it so very strange for Lady Maia, the talks lasted for almost two hours, Yinhua bring some souvenirs for Lady Maia, and sent her to her carriage and the wave goodbye to her, looks like Lady Maia Enjoys the company of Yinhua, which as to why Yinhua’s tiredness suddenly gone and alleviate instantly.
Yinhua returns to the backyard and saw the diligent Inoue keep practicing hard and training herself tremendously as she bath in sweat, she is somewhat a hardworking and you can see the perseverance in her eyes as she swing her sword in coordinated angle and swift motions, Yinhua just smile and then seat at wooden floor and then start watching Inoue’s sword practice.
“Getting better, make sure that sword swinging is not just for practice but also in battle, Inoue!” Yinhua said in appreciation as she gives applause for Inoue’s sword practice.
“Master! Oh how long you have been there, ahahahha! Thanks for your concern” Inoue replied as she was shocked to see Inoue’s sudden appearance at the side.
“Missy, I’ve just arrived here, so how about a rest” Yinhua said as she summon a towel form her special brace and throw it to Inoue.
“Thanks a lot Master!” Inoue said in gratitude as she catches the towel and start to wipe her sweat in her body and head and then she step closer to Yinhua and then seated beside her.
“How is your feeling right now, my dear” Yinhua said as she look to Inoue then smiled.
“I fell faster than I was before, currently I can manage to do the said attacks you taught me yesterday even I try them on the open field to see the results, Master” Inoue said as she recall her training earlier and yesterday.
“My goodness, that’s what I want you really to do, keep up the good work, and reach the fruitful phase, who knows what will happen if you continues sharpen your skills and talent” Yinhua said and then she patted Inoue’s head.
“Umuh, Master I’ve heard from your servant that you are invited tomorrow at the birthday of the princess, can I come too?” Inoue said and suddenly ask from Yinhua with a hopeful expression.
“Sure my dear, because I’m your contractor, it is my duty to look for you at all times as well” Yinhua said as she pulled Inoue closely to her and lay her on her chest.
“Is that so, Thank you Master!” Inoue said in joy ash she stared to Yinhua lively.
“Your welcome, but for now, we need to fix some arrangement, change your clothes to a formal one, we will go to central market to bought some dresses we might modified into a finer one, we need a proper preparations as per say” Yinhua said as many clothing and suits swirl in her mind and to modify and made for Inoue.
“As you wish! Right away!” Inoue heeds to the words of Yinhua and goes to the room to change.
Sooner Inoue finishes the changing of clothing and the two set themselves in the carriage and start another travelling to the Central market, they colluded with the people who are busy going to buy some products they need in everyday life, store keepers that calling customers to buy their products, sooner after a few walks they reach the dressing shop and order a few set of dresses and other clothing.
They also goes to the Sweet Smile Maid Café and order some of their favorite dishes, as they savor the food Inoue suddenly remember the time she is eating with her family and the time she is quiet teasing her daughter so much in eating, her husband just came along and sometimes he fed Yinhua of his food in his plate, it was a fun time for her, it was fun, until the time she confront the Grand Conqueror, and saw her husband died in saving her daughter.
“Please take care of her, Yinhua, take care of our daughter Yin’er, tell her that I’ve love her so much,,, tell her,, I,,” He said as he died in the arms of Yinhua.
“Temee! You can’t! don’t leave us here, hold on! Please, no!” Yinhua said in disarray and deep grief as she grip the arm of his husband whose blood keep leaking from his chest from being pierced from the attack of the Grand Conqueror.
“Father! Nooo! Father, please stay with us with mother! Father…..” Yuyin said as she comes closely to the two lover, she is looks like her mother but the color of the eyes coming from his father in deep black, unlike Yinhua who have a fiery eyes.
That was the darkest event that happen to her, it was truly a sorrowful and painful situation she entered, so this is the feeling of dying of your beloved ones in front of you, it was a total hurtful situation for her, as she stares at the skies where many supreme expert fighting to death with the Great Conqueror, exchanging blows and attacks yet futile and being killed one by one at the time.
“So in the end, I can’t make it on time,,,” Yinhua said as tears flowing down from her eyes as she keep hanging in her past.
“Master? Is there a problem? Why are you crying?”Inoue ask as she heard Yinhua spoke suddenly and notice her tears flowing.
“Well, in the end, I’ve revive him, but I’m still far away from them, all along I’m alone anyway” Yinhua said as she dropped the spoon and look down in the table.
“Don’t say that! You are not alone, I’m here, and everybody is here for you! You still have me and the others so please don’t say that!” Inoue suddenly cried out to Yinhua and then touches Yinhua’s left cheek.
Luckily there are few people who heard and then pay no mind in their commotion, also they now that the woman who suddenly shouts was the Celestial Maiden “Sword General” Inoue Yamato, who will dare to stop her from her actions, they just wishing death to themselves so they just dodge the topic of shouts and return to their respective seat and just pretend nothing had happened inside the Café.
“Huh, Inoue wha-who? Why?” Yinhua return to her sense and felt the warmth touch of Inoue from her left cheek.
“You are not alone anymore, I will be always with you, remember, I’m your faithful and loyal servant that will follow you in any trail and path you want to go” Inoue smiles as she saw Yinhua returns to her reality, even though she didn’t know what happen to her to spoke about those words.
“T-thank you, arigato, arigato!” Yinhua said and smiles and let her tears flow once again, she felt comfortable feeling with someone concerning for her.
“We can do it, we can reach the peak that you want, I will be always here, use me as you want, because I’m already yours, you will reach the impossible accomplishment that the warlocks in legends that never grasp in their hands, you have the aid of the Celestial Maiden “Sword General” Inoue Yamato, I’m here, you are not alone!” Inoue bravely said as she saw Yinhua closes her eyes and weep her face in her right hand and touches it with her both hands.
Sooner Yinhua and Inoue returns to the palace and start their work on the clothes and make some future plans, Yinhua remain at the side of Inoue like a child clinging to her mother as she sew the dresses and add some styles for it, Inoue just watching carefully Yinhua’s sewing tricks and find it enjoyable, it was a fine day for them to bond, a master and a servant bonding.
