Rebirth: Traversing The Myriad Planes - Chapter 329

“So Nazarick found its way to its same location, while we were transported into the clouds, huh? How ironic.”

“Lord Nao?”, Brynhildr asked, tilting her head in confusion.

“Ahhh, it’s nothing. Were you able to pinpoint our location too?”

Even though Nao did a quick scan already of their current position, he wanted to see if Brynhildr and the Valkyries could do what they’re designed to do, besides having all eyes on the White Palace, he programmed them to be excellent scouts. Especially so with their shared eyes.

Brynhildr’s confusion only lasted for a moment before nodding at Nao.

And at present, it was just her, Nao, Elsa, Tights, Brynhildr and Eydis in the room. Everyone else left and went about their day. Nao decided to assign Tights to Eydis’s care for now too, up until she gets adjusted to the Palace.

“Yes. We are not too far from Nazarick either, situated a few miles south of that Fortress City those humans call E-Rantel.”

“Situated outside of Re-estize’s former capital…got it. Is our cloaking still active?”

It was Elsa’s turn to nod.

“Yes. We stored our Godly Satellite since we moved our Palace into Yggdrasil. We re-activated during the transfer. Unless for some reason someone down below has power rivaling Sister Vados, we won’t appear on any map.”

“Excellent.”

As for Eydis, she became confused hearing Elsa say that.

“The heck is a Godly Satellite? That name sounds too funny!”, Eydis retorted with a giggle.

“It’s a device a few of us Sisters created recently to block any and all sorts of receiving signals. It can also cloak our home to make it appear as if we were the sky itself, among other things it can do. If we really wanted to we could use it to eavesdrop literally anyone at anywhere, without being spotted back, unless their strength rivals Sister Vados, fufu.”, Elsa replied with a giggle of her own, answering Eydis. This caused Eydis’s eyes to turn wide.

“Isn’t that, like cheating!?”

“That’s one way to put it, yes. We don’t really use the latter here, unless someone provokes us into doing so. That’s why I created Brynhildr and the Valkyries. That way we can still scan our surroundings if one of us is preoccupied.”

“I see. But since we’re on the topic of signals, it feels like I’m forgetting something important…”, Eydis replied, rubbing her forehead.

“Could it be you have your own method of contacting? If so maybe we can use it to contact those where you came from.”, Nao suggested as he saw Eydis behave like this. “I would have let Vados try and search where that portal came from, but we’ve no idea where the other end of it came from in terms of coordinates. If we can contact those on the other end, we could progress with this…”, Nao continued to say.

It was then a light bulb lit up in Eydis’s head, before yelling out.

“Ahhh! That’s right! Us Knights were given communicators recently!”, Eydis yelled out. She then reached into her white b.r.e.a.s.tplate, only to bring out a small high tech device, one that seemed to come out of 21st or 22nd century Earth. It was designed in the shape of a webcam too, except this one was much more advanced.

“That looks like a camera…”, Nao retorted.

“You know what this thingy is? I’m not too familiar this thing myself. Kirito said he made it and refined it to what is now. Said it carries internal internet connection and can connect to virtual spaces. Or allows someone to show themselves when they’re super far away.”

“Can’t say I’m not familiar with this device. Speaking of which where were you guys before getting s.u.c.k.e.d into that portal?”

Hearing that, Eydis blushed lightly and scratched her head.

“Haha, about that…I’m sorry for calling you the Dark Emperor earlier. Almost forgot he was dead! We Knights are currently trying to reform the Human Empire under Kirito’s leadership right now. Or was, at least. Man I sure hope this thing works…”, Eydis, looking at the device she brought out.

“Can we use this to connect to our satellite, Elsa? With Vados’s help I’m sure we can extend our range in the Multiverse.”

“That’s definitely a possibility.” Elsa said, nodding her head. “Since we are still planning our venture downward, do you want me to take this to her?”

“Let’s do that later. Thank you for showing this, Eydis. And with that said, what do you want to do next, Eydis? You’re kind of stuck here for now. Would you like to explore our home, or come with us to the land below?”

“You said this place was new to you too right? Are you sure we are in the Real World?”

“Heh, sure are. Though we are in a very different place. Just this place, yours and Kirito’s world are just little drops of water in a vast ocean. The Real World is much larger than you can imagine.”

“Really? Just from what Kirito explained to us it sounds like an amazing place. Alice was super lucky to be taken to his. I miss her already…”

‘So from her side, It sounds like Eydis was currently undergoing those two hundred years of time spent after the Dark Emperor perished…’, Nao realized, thinking to himself. ‘Guess I need to add a SAO section to the library. That place is really interesting, has a lot of cute girls too. Can’t wait to explore it.’, Nao mused to himself.

But he didn’t want to stop the current conversation going.

“It sure is. Why not for now, I’ll have Tights show you to your room? Will you do that, Tights?”

“With p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e.”

“Eh? I’m getting my own room?”

“Of course. Unless you’d want to live in the main bedroom with us, fufu.”, Elsa replied, with a grin. “We do have frequent nightly activities here.”

“Nightly…activities? With so many pretty girls to boot…”, Eydis replied. Her eyes started to shine just thinking of the thought. “I’d be swimming in a sea of b.o.o.b.s that I could fondle!” (A/N : If you guys haven’t guessed so yet, Eydis indeed likes girls. But she doesn’t shy away from guys either.)

Hearing Eydis yell that out with an excited voice, Nao almost spat out his saliva.

“Don’t blame us if you decide to enter then. It’d be of your own will as to how you spend your nights here, or down below if we find any good inns.”

“Understood. Tights, was it? Can you show me to my room?”

“Of course. If you’ll excuse us.”, Tights responded. With a light curtsy, she brought Eydis out of the throne room.

It was just Nao, Elsa and Brynhildr left. He looked at Brynhildr next, before issuing another command.

“Brynhildr, go bring Albedo, Shaltear, Aura, and Mare here. I’ve yet to question them personally, so I feel like checking up on them a bit. It’s time to see where their loyalty truly lies. I’ll check on Rubedo and Nigredo later. Iris did say she did something special to Mare too…”, Nao said.

“Understood. But what about me and the other Valkyries? We were created just like them.”

“That is true, but the one difference is I personally oversaw your creation, as your creator.”

“Lord Nao…thank you for placing your trust in us. We will serve you to the best of our ability!”

Brynhildr said that with a smile blooming on her face. She then bowed and dismissed herself, heading toward the other npcs.

Once she left, Nao finally slouched down into his throne, letting out a big sigh. Elsa couldn’t help but giggle seeing him react like this.

“Fufu, not so used to being a ruler now, are you, Nao? Welcome to my world. Well, before becoming a housewife.”

“Yeah, just maintaining that sort of demeanor is tiring. Ruling over an entire planet doesn’t sound easy.”

“It’s not, but my mother, and someone like Sister Eir did their roles wonderfully. Now they passed on their title of Queens and my title to our children. Nonetheless, it can be very tiring.”, Elsa said, approaching Nao. She then took him into her embrace.

“Mmm….”, Nao said, enjoying Elsa’s warmth.

“Still, after this loyalty check, I will have you bring Sayuri here, and Eydis back if she is up for it. Becoming adventurers is our best way to integrate into the New World if we are to find those people. Besides that, two of our main targets to explore will be the dwarven mountains in the north and the elf forest down south, hence why I’m bring you two with me.”

Elsa nodded her head as she enjoyed Nao’s warmth. After another moment she separated from him and spoke.

“Sister Sayuri was learning all those blacksmithing skills in the game. I see why since dwarves are known for that. And me for the elf forest, huh? As for Eydis, she sounds excited to explore the Real World for first time, as she called it. So we’ll be a party of four? Pretty classic setup if you ask me.”

“Right? I’ll be the mage. Sayuri will be the tank similar to how Belle played with my group in Yggdrasil, and Eydis can be a dps with her katana, and you can be the archer.”

“Do you think it’d be weird for me to use my ki weapon here?”

“Hmm…probably not.” Nao said, after pondering for a moment. Mana is rich here, I’m sure plenty of people have Mana weapons. You can definitely disguise yours as one. I’m looking forward to you using your family’s techniques again.”

“Fufu, so eager I see, Nao. Will our party have a name?”

“That…”, Nao started to say, only for him to go into his thoughts, trying to wrack his brain for a name for their soon to be party!
