Reincarnated in sekirei

( Yuuki's POV )

There were many things I had to talk to Melina about but she didn't show up when others were present.

Nepheli: I must go, I need to return to my father at the roundtable hold and inform him of what happened here.

Yuuki: the roundtable hold?

Nepheli: a safe place where the tarnished in search of the Elden ring gather, you can come with me if you wish.

Yuuki: Thanks for the invitation, but I have other matters to attend to, I will definitely visit at some point.

Roderika accepted the invitation, and after saying goodbye, I was left alone again, I turned around to clean the rest of the castle.

Yuuki: You've been very quiet, Melina, I didn't know you were shy in groups, I think that's a little cute, don't say anything if I'm right.

Melina: You are indeed peculiar, companion.

Yuuki: Well, I missed hearing your voice, can you enlighten me on the words that were thrown at me here?

Melina: Do you want a short or long explanation?

Yuuki: Summarize it for me.

Melina: Tarnished are the descendants of the first Elden Lord and his soldiers who were exiled from the Lands between, now they are back guided by grace to collect the Great Runes, they are fragments of the Elden Ring, the Elden Ring gives grace and dictates the laws of these lands, things are the way they are because the Elden Ring was shatter.

Yuuki: interesting.

I believe that depending so much on an external divine power is a mistake, but there are ways to use it for good.

Melina: Are you interested in the Elden Ring? You are also being guided by grace, perhaps that is the reason you ended up here.

Yuuki: I'm not going to lie, I'm interested but won't that affect our deal?

Melina: If you go looking for the Elden Ring, you'll eventually reach the foot of the Erdtree, I don't mind waiting.

Yuuki: Wow, isn't it convenient when our goals align so well?

Melina: Indeed, the next shardbearer is at the Academy of Raya Lucaria, you wanted to go there, right?

Yuuki: correct.

It took me half an hour to completely clear the castle, but before continuing, I decided to return to Castle Morne, to regroup and share information.

The last time I returned to the castle I didn't stay for long and this time I had to deal with Edgar showering me with gratitude for healing Irina, when he finally let me go, I met up with my guardians and blades, their mission now was to follow the trail of other great runes, that would speed up our mission, Pheliss also mentioned that she found someone who could teach me the sorcery of this world so I'll be stopping by there before visiting the academy.

After that discussion, the girls informed me that our guest had finally woken up, but she refused to talk to anyone, so I was put in charge of dealing with her.

I went straight to her room, and as they said, she was sitting on her bed looking straight ahead, now I could see that her eyes were a beautiful blue color, she didn't react much when I walked in and sat down near her bed, but I started talking anyway.

Yuuki: hey, You may not know it, but I'm the one who brought you here, my name is Yuuki.

The girl glared at me for a moment, but again, there was no response from her.

Yuuki: I know you must be confused but if you answer a few questions, I might be able to help you.

???: ... I'm not sure about that.

Oh, she finally spoke, that's great progress.

Yuuki: You'll be surprised, first, you're not from this world, right?

???: Huh! How did you know?

Yuuki: experience, and as I said, I was the one who found you, we can talk more, but could you at least tell me your name?

???: oh That's right, I'm Lisanna Straus.

Yuuki: It's nice to meet you.

When I asked about her coming from another world she showed more excitement and when she introduced herself I shook her hand

Yuuki: Tell me, have you ever heard of word travelers or a similar term?

Lisanna: No, what is that?

Yuuki: word travelers, they are people who have the ability or external help to travel to different worlds, usually gaining more power with each trip.

Lisanna: Is that what happened to me?

Yuuki: I don't think so, what I'm talking about is something more deliberate, I'm a world traveler, and I've been to six worlds apart from where I was born.

Lisanna: Really?

Yuuki: Yes, I know, I look young, but I am wise beyond my years, back to you, what happened to you could have been the result of entering the wrong place or some other kind of phenomenon, although the possibility of gaining new powers still exists, do you feel stronger?

Lisanna: I don't think so, I don't feel different.

Yuuki: oh well, better luck next time, I guess, what's the last thing you remember, where you were or what you were doing?

With my next question, Lisanna's spirits plummeted quickly, it seemed I had hit a nerve but that information wasn't necessary to help her so I skipped the subject, I spent the rest of the day talking to Lisanna, and from the things she told me about her world I knew it wasn't one I had visited before but it was one I would like to explore when we go there.

Like that our second day in these strange lands ended, early the next morning I was ready for more exploration, But I knew things weren't going to go as smoothly as the other days when Erica and Liliana appeared in front of me with weapons in hand before I could leave the castle, She was quiet for two whole days so I should be thankful for that.

Erica: Yuuki, have a match with me!

Yuuki: What is this really about?

Erica: You shouldn't be the only one out there, we are ready to do our part, and you can be the judge of that.

Yuuki: And if I say that you're not ready, will you listen to me?

Erica: First I'll try to convince you that you're wrong, but yes, I'll accept whatever you decide.

Yuuki: ... okay, show me what you can do.
