New Path, New World [Book 1]

I guess meeting Jean isn't bad

We went out of the library to meet the Acting Grand Master Jean that was about next door. At that moment, as I said before, I was really excited to meet a five-star in real life, besides Aether.

I don't know if Tuonto would be jealous, but based on his type, I think he won't. But still, I would tell him if I were to use YouTube, find one of his vids and just say 'Hey, I met Jean irl. Not voice actor. The actual Jean' and just show a picture with me, Aether, Paimon and Jean. Hopefully he understands what the hec was going on. Haven't done that yet, though. Probably should've.

Anywaays...when we arrived at the door of the office, Aether gently but firmly knocked the door. "Come in," a voice inside said. I immediately recognised the voice: It was Jean's voice. Slowly, Aether, Paimon and me went inside.

Jean then noticed me going inside, and asked, "It seems like we have another friend of the Traveller here. I've heard about you from the guards." Welp, it seemed like the news came to her quickly. Probably 'cause the guards standing outside is very close to Jean's office.

"Please, take a seat," Jean said. There were a few chairs, so me and Aether sat on one of them. Since Paimon floats, though, there's no need to give her a seat.

Before anything started, though, I wanted to check on Jean's stats, since I had the power to do so. I checked it, and sure enough, it showed.

Name: Jean

Jean is already strong enough to be intimidating. Her Crit Rate and Damage is enough for the crits to actually happen, so if someone's messing with Jean, they would get painful crit hits. Her constellation, however, I don't wanna tell... Thankfully, I wasn't fighting her.

We started the conversation with Jean saying, "Your name is Kathlyne, correct?" which I nodded, replying with a yes. "The guards told me that you were unconscious before meeting the Traveller and Paimon. If so, have you remembered anything that happened before you became unconscious?"

I didn't want to lie, but if I say the truth, they might not believe me. But alas, I replied with, "I was in a different place before I went to Monstadt. If I remember correctly, I was in a different part of Monstadt before suddenly becoming unconscious. Then when I woke up, I was near this city, and that's when I met Aether and Paimon."

Some of those are untrue, obviously, as before I teleported into this world, I was having a normal life in my world. Doing classes, talking to friends, playing games, etc...And then the moment I took a nap, I was here. For the sake of no suspiscion, however, I cannot tell them.

"Kathlyne was unconscious for a while when we met her," Paimon added. "She also murmured some things, like sleeptalking." Really, huh? "Most of the words she mumbled were very unclear," Aether said. "But the only one we heard from her was 'Come on...just a few minutes...they're not yet...here...'."

"I see..." Jean said. "It seemed like she was talking to someone during her dreams." I wasn't sure what I meant at first, but then I remembered: Wasn't that me telling my parents to stay with me longer as a child? It was at a party...my birthday party. Or at least that's what I thought.

"Hmm...now that I thought about it..." Jean started. "You look like that one traveller from the history book at the library..." "Oh, I think I've read that book," I said, pretty sure that it was the book she was mentioning. "I think that chapter was...'The Universal Traveller', correct?"
