Problem is solved but another one...?!

It's obvious Yue, Shea, and Tio stare at Remia with jealously look when they sees the mother of Myuu wrapped her arms on Eleonora's neck tightly, but they decided to let it go for now since Remia's case seemed emergency and there's no time to argue or Myuu would sad to see her mother kept suffering from it.

As they already in Remia's house, the sofa that sit on the house successfully caught Eleonora's eyes and seeing that, Eleonora quietly lowered Remia there and sat in front of her. Remia watched Eleonora with sad manner since she wasn't carried again in Eleonora's arms and couldn't feel the warm and gentleness of her hug, but Remia trying to be patient and ask later about it.

Seeing Remia's condition as she already lowered Remia in the sofa and sat in front of her, Eleonora then called for Kaori and the brunette girl nods her head as if knowing what the meaning of that. Kaori then examine Remia's condition with her knowledge that she has amassed and gained through training in Tortus to taking care of Remia.

"Let me see… Remia-san, I'll touch your foot a bit. Tell me if it hurts."

"Y-Yes? Um, what's going on?"

Suddenly, she had met with her daughter who returned when a woman her daughter adored and called Onee-chan appeared. But Remia also has a gust that Myuu want to call Eleonora more than Onee-chan, like a second mother or maybe the "father" of hers; although it's a bit weird if Myuu call a woman a "Papa" or sort of.

Furthermore, she was surrounded by beautiful girls. Remia looked troubled.

Kaori's examination ended; she told them the nerves in Remia's foot could be healed with her Recovery Magic.

"It will take some time. It's a difficult place, so it will take about 3 days to treat so there are no complications. Though it's inconvenient, please relax, because I'll make sure to heal you."

"My, my, I thought it would be impossible to walk again... what can I give you as a reward?"

"Fu fu, it's fine. Because you're Myuu-chan's mother."

"Um, by the way, why is everyone with Myuu..."

Kaori immediately began treating Remia's feet while Hajime explained the details on how he met Myuu, since he is the now who knows about that while Eleonora is just barely know from suggesting and others, as well as their riot in Fyuren.

Remia listened and lowered her head in thanks again and again.

"Really, what can I possibly give you as a reward... Being able to meet my daughter again is all thanks to you. No matter what, I could never repay this kindness, what can I do..."

"It's okay, Remia-san. Helping each other is something normal to do. Isn't that right, Hajime-san?"

Hajime couldn't help but sighing in understand and nods in agreement with what Eleonora said.

"Yeah, nothing to be worry about. Myuu is my "daughter" and I just decided to help her."

Though Hajime told her not to worry, Remia could not simply let this go as he was the benefactor of her daughter.

When Kaori finished her treatment for the day, Remia asked them to stay when the began to leave to look for a hotel.

"Please, at least allow me to do this. This house is large and there are vacant rooms. While you are in Erisen, please stay here without reservation. I'm sure Myuu would be happy with that, right? Myuu? You'd be happy if Hajime-san and the others stayed here, right?"

"Uhm? Papa, Onee-chan, are you going somewhere?"

Myuu, who was dozing on Remia's lap, woke up hearing Remia's words and blinked as she woke up. She thought it natural

Hajime would stay at her house.

"I thought I would put some distance between us once I brought her back..."

"My my,. Papa wants to distance himself from his daughter?"

"No, didn't you hear us? We..."

"I understand you will start back on your journey sooner or later. However, please remain her "Papa" until you leave. You should only put distance between you two when you say your goodbyes... okay?"

"... Well, that might be so..."

Hajime sighing in defeat and scratch his back when heard that as he muttering "troublesome". Remia just giggled and turn her way to Eleonora who blinked for a bit since the bluish-haired young girl seemed got the attention of Myuu's mother.

"And, sorry if I'm bothering you, but could you be her "Onee-chan" too until you leave? Also, thank you for your help earlier."

"No problem, Remia-san. I'm happy to help someone, especially from young beautiful mother like you."

"Oh my… ufufufu."

Remia's cheeks flushed and has a tint of red when Eleonora said that with her sweet voice and gentle smile adored her beautiful face. The green-haired woman placed both palm on her cheeks due to the embarassment as she getting compliment from a young beautiful woman such as Eleonora.

"Thank you for your compliment. You are beautiful as well."

Remia said that without hesitation and ignoring the gaze that was directed towards her by Yue and the others. She warded them away like a willow in a storm. She was unexpectedly strong.

"Also, won't Myuu want another mother?"

"Fue? Onee-chan is another Mama? But Mama is Mama?"

"Doesn't Myuu want this beautiful and beloved "Onee-chan" to be her another Mama?"

"Uhm! Myuu want Onee-chan to be Mama too!"

"Ufufu, how does that sound, Mama?"

She ask that to Eleonora with the way she speaking, even if it was the not the atmosphere to do so, Remia continued speaking, difficult to discern whether she was being serious or joking. Eleonora could only smile awkwardly as she confused whether she has to answer that with honesty or not.

"I don't think… I can't be her another Mama, since her current Mama would be sad. Right, Remia-san?"

Remia shocked at the counter-attack question that's aimed at her by Eleonora. But Eleonora continued.

"And I think Hajime-san is enough for Myuu-chan, since she's her Papa, right?"

"Hey, don't suddenly push it to me. It's not like I have a choice to begin with…"

Hajime muttering the latter on low voice so no one can't hear that, since it's the truth and he couldn't deny an innocent and adorable child like Myuu, even if he was supposed to be tough and cruel but he can't do that to someone like Myuu.

"Sorry about that, but it seems Myuu-chan really attached to Hajime-san. Right, Myuu-chan?"

Eleonora said that as she patted Myuu's head and the little girl just smiled at her and she respond the smile too. But what surprising Eleonora is the fact that her left cheek was kissed by Myuu and leave her startled for a while before Myuu said something to her with widened smile.

"I also like Onee-chan! If Mama said that Onee-chan is my another Mama, I want too! I will have two Mama and Papa!"

Hajime and the girls except Remia just spurting and choked when they heard that, especially Hajime that he stared at Eleonora with a lot of hate and weird stare, as if he don't want to be the part of Eleonora again just because of Myuu selfishness; but he can't say no to his beloved 'daughter'.

"Sorry Myuu-chan, if you want me to be your another Mama, I prefer not together with Hajime-san."

But Eleonora then immediately shoot it down.

Eleonora said it without any hesitation. It's not like she hate Hajime or anything, but she just didn't see get in relationship with men. She is lesbian after all and only want to be in girl x girl relationship than boy x girl which is straight.

Remia just went "Oh my", Hajime's twitched in annoyance, Yue and others went agape, while Myuu-chan became sobbing and about to cry when heard the rejection of that straight come out of Eleonora since the little girl became attached to her and loved her despite how short the time they spend is it.

But Remia suddenly noticed this and went to Myuu as she trying to comfort her. Luckily Remia acted fast and comforting Myuu, calming her down before she started to crying. It will be bad if that's happened. Remia even says "Onee-chan is just joking, Myuu. Don't worry about it." to Myuu and lied like that.

"Look at what you did, Pendragon. You can just… pretend in front of her, you know."

Hajime said that in low voice and annoyance. But Eleonora just shake her head in disagreement, make the young boy annoyed once again.

"Um… sorry Hajime-san, but I really don't want that even if we are pretend. Imagine if we have to do that for long. I can guess that Remia-san and Myuu-chan will join us to your homeworld since you know how persistent Myuu-chan is. Right?"

"Still, you are taking this too far. You have to be mature—"

"But I am in a sense still a kid. Maybe slightly older than Myuu-chan. I am not reincarnator or such like in those isekai novel too. Also, I think it's good idea for Myuu-chan to not think that we are 'together'. Sure, I am willing to be her 'Mama' but I don't want us to be seen like that. No offense or hate to you, Hajime-san."

"A lot taken."

After their little debate and argument, Remia who already calm Myuu and put her on the bed as the little girl sleep, then coming to them and went to apologize to them with smile on her face.

"I'm sorry for what Myuu caused to you, everyone. Especially you, Pendragon-san, right?"

"It's okay, partially my fault and yes, you can call me Eleonora and my name is Eleonora Pendragon. Nice to meet you, Remia-san."

"Ufufu, it's fine. It's already late, how about we get inside and you can rest for now. I know there's a lot of things I want to ask, but I think it will delayed for today."

"Then, we will take your offer."

In the end, they stayed at Remia's house and split the rooms. But Remia whispering to Eleonora's ears something that made her sighing in defeat.

"A mother naturally stays in the same room with their child, don't they?"

She said as she silently looked at Yue and the others. Myuu, who suddenly awake and heard that then said, "I want to sleep Mama and New Mama~" and the decision was made. Eleonora and Remia slept in the same room, together with Myuu on the middle.

Starting tomorrow, Eleonora call the people in her homeworld and send them some message, which is video recording of her and the people who currently in her group in Tortus right now. Remia and others, except Yue, Hajime, and Kaori went in surprise when they sees the technology that Eleonora uses.

Eleonora also not forgetting to kept notice of the chat group and Neptune's group too that currently in Gamindustri as they working on the dimension traveling machine. And so, 3 days passed.

Remia took a strangely close distance with Eleonora, and the sea men looked at her, their eyes bloodshot with envy, but also charmed by Eleonora. The older women all closed in and watched the two while Yue and the other girls were in ill humor. Also Yue, who always approach Hajime during the night, suddenly approach Eleonora and they didn't do anything except Yue want to sleep with Eleonora. Finally, after much preparation, they were ready to back to the Royal Palace of human kingdom.

Myuu seemed incredibly lonely from their brief parting. But she became happy when Eleonora said that she can go along with them. Especially Remia who stayed with them and get strangely close to Eleonora and went so far as she wrap Eleonora's right arms and bury it into Remia's chest and walk by her side, Yue and the other girls, as well as the sea men in the surroundings, sent Eleonora a sharp glance. For a moment, Eleonora just sighing in defeat and thinking the situation she have is escalated very quickly.

But it's already too late since she already involving Myuu and Remia on this.

"Alright everyone, let's get back first to Ankaji first to deliver the [Seiyou Stone]."

------

Pudding Lover: "Good morning world! Ah crap, I did a reference to a certain science-stone anime. How's your day going, everyone? I hope none of you have a bad day or such since it will be suck!"

Golden Fox of Kyoto: "Good morning or evening to you, @Pudding Lover-san. My condition is fine and nothing to be worried of. It's peaceful yet not that peaceful. My world seems undergo some drastic change since they lose one of its important figure."

Titania The Fairy Queen: "Good afternoon and is that so, @Golden Fox of Kyoto? I really understand that, sometimes the lose of important figure is affect the world greatly. Also it will impact so big the person that's close or dear to them, in emotional way."

The Florist Succubus: "Good lunch! Ah sorry, I mean good afternoon! Awww, english is so hard for me to understand, but hey I'll learn more about it. This is a good day for me, @Pudding-san! Although it's still your every day life and I still taking care my plant with a lot of love!"

Bloodsucker Black Serpent: "Good evening. We Chaldea team currently fine and had done another training with each Servants. It's another peaceful and great day. Right, @King of Knight, @Demon Mommy?"

Demon Mommy: "Ufufu~. That's right, although I am eager to check on the chat group as soon as I done with the training. Today's schedule we don't do rayshift or anything. But even if do that, I doubt Master will take some of us with him in the battle. Somehow it's kind of frustrating."

King of Knight: "Indeed. Moreover I had to deal with that annoying and irritating golden guy who kept approach me and do something foolish. Luckily EMIYA had to take care of him and they engage in a 'friendly spar' so they said. Not only the golden guy, but Mordred also always want to get closer to me no matter what, she even trying to get in my way when I'm using the chat group."

Demon Sword Muramasa: "I know what you feel about someone who annoy yourself, @King of Knight. People like that are awful and cannot be forgiven as we are trying to enjoy our quality time alone. Moreover if they did some unforgivable act to our food."

King of Knight: "I cannot agree more with you, @Demon Sword Muramasa. Those people who do that to our food are heresy! Even if they are apologize to us, we can't forgive them that easily. Food is something we must cheerish and we also must praise the one who made the food. Food also play an important factor in war, they can change the tide of war easily if it used right. People can won a war if they have a good amount of food."

Demon Sword Muramasa: "Huhum."

The Strongest Ice Queen: "You always glutton, @Demon Sword Muramasa. Also, @Pudding Lover, how's your doing on the other side? How is Kurumi and Sword Princess doing in there? Are they fine?"

Pudding Lover: "We are perfectly safe, nepu! We currently brainstorming about the new project we held, which is turn the dimensional traveling machine into a bracelet that anyone in the chat group can use whenever they want it!"

Golden Fox of Kyoto: "That's wonderful news! If that completed and possible, then we don't have to use the current traveling machine. But since I don't know how bad or good the current one, I can't make any further comment on it."

Pudding Lover: "The current one definitely have some flaws but it's not something we can't fix. With Nep.Jr and everyone around, also with the power of friendship, I'm sure we can easily fix that, nepu! So don't worry too much about that. It's gives good benefits for the people in chat group after all."

Titania The Fairy Queen: "It's good to hear that. I pray that you success doing that and if only I had understand some of craftmanship, I'd definitely like to help you about that, but unfortunately I can't. Maybe I should study about craftmanship later to let me at very least know the basic of it."

The Florist Succubus: "Ooooh! That's good news, @Pudding-san! Oh right, can you share the details about it and maybe the picture of where is the flaws located? Or better yet, you can just record and made it video, so maybe I can ask my older sister about it. She's an expert at making something after all."

Pudding Lover: "That's wonderful, @The Florist Succubus! I'll record it to video and send it to the chat group later! Oh right, it seems The Nightmare aka Kurumin and Sword Princess aka Aisu isn't able to online for the time being since they are immersed to the beautiful and gorgeous Planeptune of mine! Ahahaha, sorry about that but I definitely tell them to sometimes check the chat group, so don't worry too much about it, okay?!"

The Strongest Ice Queen: "So that's the reason… I'm okay with it and a bit lonely since Kurumi, one of the friend that I can considered best and has mutual understanding, gone for a while. I just hope that she's okay and please take good care of Kurumi while she's in there. Okay, @Pudding Lover?"

Pudding Lover: "Of course! Who the heck do you think I am? They are my guests and friends, so it's natural to taking good care of them. Alright, I'll be off for a while and continue to shows the gorgeousness of Planeptune to Kurumin and Aisu, nepu! So ciayo!"

Demon Sword Muramasa: "Bye-bye. I'm waiting the video."

Demon Mommy: "Me too. Ufufu, I cannot wait about it."

Bloodsucker Black Serpent: "That's right, it's excited me when I'm thinking about it."

------

After teleporting, they set foot in the world of brown once again.

The eight drove through the dust storm toward Ankaji Dukedom. Eleonora rode her new vehicle since there's Remia and Myuu who joined their group, so she made an off-road vehicle similar to Hajime's Brise but more advanced and not military-like.

Their original destination was Royal Palace but Kaori suggested they try to purify the oasis with [Restoration] spell or magic that Eleonora had after she explained some of her spells, so they decided to go back to Ankaji Dukedom. Kaori wanted to use it as a trial of sorts. [Restoration], literally, had affect of "returning" something to a prior state. It might be able to restore the polluted oasis which could not be purified with Recovery Magic.

Also, they did not have the time to eat the specialty products before, so there was no reason for Eleonora to refuse her proposal. Though Hajime grew annoyed even more when isn't him who's in charge of being the leader of his group now, since the group seemed been taken by Eleonora even if she did it unintentionally.

They saw the entrance gate to Ankaji, but, unlike last time, there was a line of carriages waiting to enter. It was like a large procession of merchants. Seeing the line of carriages, the group muttering on it as they waiting for the line.

"It's quite a large caravan…"

"…Mm, it will take time to enter."

"Maybe they're not carrying supplies?"

Based on Kaori's guess, the long line entering Ankaji Dukedom was likely due to the rescue request they sent to Hairihi Kingdom. The merchants were taking advantage of this and also lined up. Naturally, the Kingdom's rescue forces passed first, but Ankaji was clearly accepting business from all directions.

After all, with the river ruined, it was necessary to safely dispose of the crops. They needed large amounts of food other than water, so they could not be picky in who entered.

Hajime was disgusted by the heat and the raging sand and peered over the caravan before heading to the gate in Brise. Naturally, he had zero intent to wait in line. But luckily Eleonora had to calm him with water magic that covers him and the girls so they won't stayed dehydrated.

People were startled as a large black and red object ran beside them. They shrunk back and screamed in fear as they seen the objects they was never seen. The gate keepers readied their arms as the black object approached with a cloud of dust behind it.

However, as soon as some saw the Brise, their eyes were opened in wide surprise. The leader admonished his colleagues and ordered them to run ahead and meet the incomer.

The Hajime, Yue, Shea, Tio, Kaori, and Shizuku left Brise and Eleonora, Remia, and Myuu left her newly vehicle—which is named Lumine—while ignoring the attention they received as they reached the gate. Everyone, as always, had their gazes stolen by Eleonora and the girls' beauty. Hajime then stored Brise in "Treasure Warehouse" while Eleonora stored Lumine in [Inventory].

"Ahh, so you were the Apostle from before. So you came back."

The soldier was relieved when he saw Kaori. Perhaps he saw them when the four brought Biz back and when Hajime went to gather [Seiyou Stone] in Grand Gruen Volcano.

He recognized the vehicle as one that carried "God's Apostle." Although he was never seen the other vehicle but he decided to ignore since all the matters is that the "God's Apostle" is there with them.

Since he was not particularly wrong, Hajime did not correct him. Since Kaori was the most well known here, she stepped forward to represent them.

"Yes, actually, we came to experiment, since we have a skill that might be able to purify the oasis. I'd like to talk to the Lord about this..."

"The oasis!? Is that true!?"

"Y-Yes, though it is only a possibility right now..."

"As expected of the Apostle. I'm sorry, I will have someone sent off to the Lord immediately. We can't have you waiting here, we will guide you to a waiting room and alert him of your arrival. The Lord will come immediately."

The soldiers looked at them with respect, knowing they might have a way to save their country. The merchants gazed curiously at the group who was being treated like VIPs. Once again, they set foot inside Ankaji Dukedom.

Lord Lanzwi arrived, panting, 15 minutes after the group arrived at the waiting room. He had indeed come quite quickly. Their existence was that important to him.

"It has been a... I suppose that is not necessary, is it? Above all else, you are safe, Hajime-dono. I was worried when you entrusted the [Seiyou Stone] to Tio and did not return. It would be greatly troubling if the savior of my Dukedom died before I could show him my gratitude."

"I'm just a mere adventurer. Well, the streets are looking better. It seems all of you have managed somehow."

"Yes. We were able to buy time with the reservoir Yue-dono built, and we now have aide from the Kingdom and merchants, so our people are not starving."

He calmly smiled as he said this. He had been busy doing his best to save Ankaji every day, so he was clearly exhausted. It was a result of his hard work.

"Lord, about the purification of the oasis..."

"Apostle... no, Kaori-dono. The oasis is still the same. Though fresh water is springing from underground, and the oasis is becoming clean little by little... it will take a long time. It will be at least half a year until it is completely cleared out, and likely 1 year before the tainted soil is usable."

Lanzwi spoke in a depressed tone, hoping Kaori had a means to purify the oasis immediately.

When he confirmed she may have a means, he had said

"Seriously!?"and spat out saliva. Lanzwi cleared his throat to calm himself and immediately asked for their aide.

They had intended to from the start, so Lanzwi guided them to the oasis.

The oasis was completely empty at this time. Though it was usually filled with crowds of people as a rest area... recalling this, Lanzwi had a lonely expression.

Kaori used [Restoration] that Eleonora give to her as she stood at the edge of the oasis.

One of the reason why Eleonora give the [Restoration] to her is that Kaori had the highest aptitude with it followed by Tio then Yue. For Yue, as usual, she had the unique magic, "Automatic Regeneration," so she was not good with Recovery Magic.

On the other hand, Kaori, a "Healer," had a high aptitude for [Restoration] and could utilize it more efficiently. Still, since she needed a formation and an incantation, she could not use it in battle like Yue could. But nonetheless, if she trained little more and has efficient way of training, she may not need formation and incantation in the future and can spam the [Restoration] as she want or maybe come up with the variety ways of [Restoration] spell.

Kaori began chanting, it was a long aria. She had trained in Erisen and shortened her incantation by 3 minutes to a total of 7 minutes. Because she was a cheat, she had been able to achieve this amount in only a week. Yue and the others were already clear on her ability, so there was little surprise to them.

A serene silence engulfed the area, interrupted only by the solemn incantation. Lanzwi and his subordinates took a deep breath. They felt as if it were a sacred ceremony they should never interrupt. Kaori's [Restoration] finally activated.

"—[Absolute Symbol]."

She lifted her white cane artifact and thrust it down with her eyes closed as she muttered the name of the magic. The next moment, a light flew from before her and crashed into the center of the oasis. The entire oasis shined, and a watery light sprung forth, climbing to the heavens. It was as if the purified substance was ascending to Heaven.

Everyone forgot to breathe. After the light disappeared, everyone stood still, immersed in the spectacle.

Hajime supported Kaori who had become exhausted and urged Lanzwi. Lanzwi regained his thoughts and gave an order to have his subordinates check the water quality. The man practiced his magic in a panic. Once he finished, he turned around with an expression of disbelief.

"... It's back."

"... Please say it again."

Lanzwi confirmed what the man said. This time, the man reported it clearly.

"There are no abnormalities in the oasis! It's back to the old oasis! It's completely purified!"

At that moment, Lanzwi's subordinates all cheered. They threw all documents and baggage in hand into the air and held each other in their joy. They looked up to Lanzwi who was breathing deeply as he stared to the sky.

"Next is the soil... Lord, where are all the crops you needed to discard?"

"... They aren't all in one place. The people checking them are also in charge of their disposal... it can't be... that too?"

"Yue and Tio will go, too. How about it?"

"... Mm, no problem."

"Right. I will make every effort. It would be a pity to throw everything away. Leave this to us."

Lanzwi placed a hand to his chest hearing that the crops could be saved as well. He did not hesitate to bow deeply despite being in public. Though it was something the Lord should not do, he could do nothing else to show his appreciation. He had a deep love for his lands.

After receiving Lanzwi's bow, the group immediately began moving.

However, Eleonora felt a threat, unexpectedly. She looked around and saw an excitable group of people approaching. They were soldiers of Ankaji followed by members of the Saint Church and temple knights, which he confirmed with "Far Sight."

They immediately surrounded Hajime. A middle-aged man advanced forward, wearing luxurious white vestments.

Lanzwi stood between Hajime and the man sensing the dangerous atmosphere.

"Lord Zengen... Step aside. They are dangerous."

"Bishop Forbin, what on earth is this about? They are dangerous? Even though they are the heroes who have saved my lands twice over? This is an impoliteness to them I cannot overlook as Lord of Ankaji."

The middle-aged man was called Bishop Forbin. He smiled and snorted in derision.

"Hmm? Hero? Be careful with those words. They have already received recognition as heretics. Careless words will simply wring your own neck."

"Recognized as heretics...? Impossible, I heard nothing of this."

Lanzwi took a deep breath. He understood the weight of those words, which is why he felt Bishop Forbin must have made a mistake.

"That much is natural. The information just reached me this morning... Ku ku, isn't this timing quite strange? Surely this is God's will. I will destroy God's enemies... I, too, will come to power..."

Though his final words were quiet and difficult to hear, it was clear that Eleonora, Hajime and the girls were recognized as heretics. Although it's unclear as why Eleonora recognized as so since she wasn't in this world that long and that's puzzling her.

But she began to understand who trying to give her a false accusation despite they clearly didn't know anything about her that much. The one being that they referred as God and the one they worships, by the most people in this world and probably has the major followers and be referred as the true religions.

'So it's like that, huh… seem the God of this world find me and he/she think I'm on their way. Fine, I'll challenge the God itself if the worst thing might happened to us, even more to the girls since this may be my responsibility to made them ended up like this, but for Hajime-san… I don't think I can help him since he is the type that 'I can do everything on my own' and added up with how he hates me; the chance is no.'

Eleonora thought of that while get in her fighting stance.
