(MC POV)
"Where are we?" Tsuki asked, looking up at the mansion in front of us.
I grinned, "The personal mansion of the Prime Minister."
"Oh? Is she the acquaintance Aniue was talking about?"
"That is correct. I met her by chance while I was travelling here and she helped me gain entry to the city."
Tsuki clapped her hands together while looking at me with a gaze filled with admiration, "As expected of Aniue! You easily got to know people of power in this Plane just like in our world!"
I raised an eyebrow at her, "Err… I'm not sure if that's supposed to be a good thing?"
"Of course it is, Aniue! It is a testament of your great charisma! I remember how you brought me along with some of your meetings in our other world and watching you work was always a joy for me!"
Huh… I'm really curious about what I was actually like in that other world. I'll probably find out after that potion is completed I suppose.
Also, I'm pretty sure my meeting with Muon and even Luna was purely luck and had nothing to do with my charisma, but I didn't have the heart to refute her considering the way Tsuki was currently staring at me.
"Alright, shall we go in and--"
Before I could finish my words, several women wearing black clothing that covered their faces appeared around us with their weapons drawn.
"Who are you and what are you doing in front of the Prime Minister's House?" One of the cloaked figures demanded.
I raised my hand in greeting, "Hi, we're just normal visitors here to--"
"Normal visitors don't just teleport here, especially when there's a teleportation inhibitor inscription laid out. Now speak, who are you?!"
Eh? There's a teleportation inhibitor? Then how have I been teleporting into Muon's room for the past few days?
Tsuki's body started to glow, "How dare you talk to Aniue like that?! Who do you think you are?!"
I smacked Tsuki's head to keep her quiet before turning back to the cloaked figures.
"I apologize for my little sister. We're here to see Muon. She… Allowed me specifically to teleport here. You can tell her that her… Err… Her Senpai is here to see her."
Tsuki looked up at me with a bewildered look on her face, "Sen… Pai?"
I shrugged, "That's what she calls me."
The cloaked women seemed to hesitate for a moment before one of them disappeared, presumably to deliver the news.
I almost thought they wouldn't let me in or something and result in some kind of misunderstanding where I'll have to fight my way in. I guess Muon must have made sure to hire the smarter ones.
She returned a minute later at the same spot she had been standing on.
"Lady Muon bids you to enter, please follow me."
The other cloaked figures immediately dispersed when they heard those words, leaving us to be guided by the last one.
It felt so easy I almost didn't believe it.
We followed the woman into the mansion grounds and through the main entrance.
"So… Are you her personal guards or something?" I asked.
"That is incorrect," The woman replied without turning back. "We are only in charge of guarding Lady Muon's properties. There is another team that is in charge of Lady Muon's personal safety."
I raised an eyebrow, "Really? Hmm… I don't remember sensing anyone near her when we met at Alria town though? Other than those manservants she had brought with her of course."
"I apologize, but I am not at liberty to say anything related to Lady Muon's security to outsiders."
"That's fair."
I felt Tsuki tugging on my sleeve, "Aniue… I think she's being quite rude. Can I eradicate her from existence?"
"No."
"Gunununu… If Aniue says so…"
I'm not sure if she chose to ignore it or she just didn't hear us, but the guard did not react to Tsuki's words at all.
We soon arrived at the office and the guard rapped her knuckles on the door, "Lady Muon, your guests are here."
"You may enter," Muon's voice came from behind the door.
The guard opened the door and ushered me in.
I stepped through the open door with Tsuki following behind me, finding myself Muon's office once again. She seemed to be in the middle of clearing some documents as she set them aside to make space on her table.
She waved to me, "Ah, Senpai! Welcome! Would you like anything to drink?"
I shook my head, "It's fine, I'd hate to impose on you, I'm just here to ask some things, if you're ok with that?"
"Senpai is always welcome here, you don't need to… Erm… Senpai? Who is that behind you?"
I stepped aside to reveal Tsuki, "Muon, this is Tsuki, my little sister from… Err… I guess you can say she's from one of my reincarnations. She also died in that world and somehow got transmigrated here. Tsuki, this is Muon, she's a…Ermm… I guess you can say she's a fellow reincarnator?"
OK… I probably should have thought this through before saying it… That was one of the weirdest introductions I had done, not gonna lie.
I mean, both Muon and Tsuki are just looking at me as though they're still trying to comprehend what I just said, you know?
"Ummm… Would you two like to sit down first?" Muon suggested, gesturing to the chairs in front of her desk.
"I hope we're not disturbing you?"
"Oh not at all. With her Majesty away for the day, there's not much for me to do until she returns anyway. Does Senpai require me for anything?"
I sat down in the chair and sighed, "Right… It has something to do with Origin again… Just this morning I tried to do a quick inspection of Tsuki's Cultivation Point and I found what might be traces of Origin within her. I thought of coming here to ask your advice on that…"
Muon moved her gaze to Tsuki who was switching her gaze between me and Muon, not understanding what was going on.
"Senpai suspects that she might be an Origin Wielder who lost her memories as well?"
I scratched my head, "Umu… More or less. Since I'm not sure how exactly an Origin Wielder's Cultivation Point would look like, I'd thought consulting you would be a better option."
Muon pinched her chin, "I see… Out of curiosity… What exactly did Senpai see?"
"Well, it's roughly the same as mine. There were stars all around the space but while mine was blue and red in colour and just more calming in terms of emotions, hers was white and black and more… Well… Dead?"
Muon stared at me silently for a few seconds.
Oh no, I know that face, that face meant I just said something unbelievable again.
"Senpai… Saw… Stars?"
"... Yes? Did I do something out of the norm again?"
"Umm… Yes… I erm… I don't even… How about Senpai take a look at my Cultivation Point first? I think you will understand better…"
"Ok?"
She stretched out her hands and I grasped them in mine, extending my consciousness through her Quark Veins and into her Cultivation Point that was located near her navel.
I was hoping to see a space full of stars as well but unfortunately it was just like any other Cultivation Point that I've seen in the others. The only difference was there were some traces of that Star Power floating around within her and even those were miniscule at best.
Miniscule when compared to the amount I found in myself and Tsuki, that is.
And yep, no stars at all.
I brought my consciousness back into myself and sighed again, "So… What does this even mean?"
Muon smiled wryly at me, "That means I don't think I'm of any help to you, Senpai… I believe the two of you are a special case even amongst the Origin Wielders…"
Tsuki raised her hand, "Ok… I've been listening quietly for awhile now, but what exactly is this 'origin wielder' Aniue and you are talking about?"
Muon and I shared a look before I gestured a go ahead to her.
She made a face at me before turning to Tsuki, starting her explanation about the thing that is Origin that she had told me before.
This would take a while...
