Chapter 43 (volume 2)
May 16, 2008. Suburbs of the Nagazora City.
Inside a bus there was that he had just entered the city Nagazora and was passing through the suburb of the city, there were two people sitting at the bottom of the bus, a man and a woman, these two people are Welt Yang and Lieserl Albert Einstein. The Anti-Entropy Sovereign and one of the two founders came to the city Nagazora on public transport.
Why did they go by public transport to here? Are they poor? Not...
They decided to go to the city Nagazora in a stealthy way. The two were disguised as civilians and they entered the city on the bus so as not to attract attention.
Schicksal must be desperately looking for any clue about the Serenity Gem theft, they must think Anti-Entropy is involved in this. So Welt suggested entering the city like that, so as not to attract any attention from Schicksal he and Einstein are entering the city as civilians. Meanwhile, Tesla is discreetly entering the city with the titan mechs from Anti-Entropy on a route out of reach of Schicksal's surveillance.
"Sovereign, we must get off at the next stop." Einstein spoke to Welt with a calm expression.
"I see, we must go down here and go to the meeting point to meet Ryoma at the meeting point." Welt spoke softly while he got up from his seat and they went to the bus door.
The two got off the bus and started walking down the sidewalk, Welt saw everyone living their peaceful lives and he smiled with satisfaction. Seeing this scenario, he felt his efforts to protect humanity against the destruction of Honkai were worth it.
While Welt had these thoughts he suddenly felt a huge sense of weakness in his body. He lost all his strength and he fell to the ground, he used his hands to avoid hitting his face on the floor. That feeling lasted only a second and then disappeared as if nothing had happened.
"Sovereign, are you okay? What happened to you?" Einstein asked worriedly. She bent down to lift Welt but he got up alone.
"It's okay, Einstein, I can get up alone." Welt spoke trying not to worry her. He managed to get up without any problems.
"Sovereign, why did you fall suddenly on the floor? When I saw you there it seemed like you lost all your strength, was it a problem with your body? It has only been three years since your body was rebuilt, even though your conscience managed to stay safe after the Second Honkai War, you are still in a very precarious state. So please don't try too hard." Einstein spoke in a concerned tone.
After the Second Honkai War, Welt's body was completely destroyed in the battle against Second Herrscher Sirin. The only one left of it was its Herrscher nucleus, which fortunately harbored Welt Yang's conscience. For 5 years after the Second Honkai War, Einstein and Tesla researched how to bring Welt back and she did it. With their help Welt was able to use his Herrscher powers of Reason to rebuild his body, but Welt was still in a precarious state with several internal injuries. He cannot even use his Herrscher powers normally or else he will vomit blood.
Because of this he had to stay hidden from everyone at Anti-Entropy, only a few trusted people know about his situation.
Unfortunately due to Welt's absence, Anti-Entropy has gone through some difficult times and now some people are managing to gain positions of great authority in the organization. These people have plans that go against Anti-Entropy's ideals and policies.
Einstein and Tesla are managing to prevent the situation from getting out of hand but it will not last forever.
"You don't have to worry, I'm fine it was just a small fall, it was no big deal." Welt spoke with a small embarrassed smile while he scratched the back of his head.
Einstein took a sigh.
"Joachim, Tesla and I have taken care of you since you were a child, we have seen you grow up to become the respectable leader you are now, you always put yourself to help others and that is something we are proud of, but that is also something that makes us very concerned. Please worry more about yourself." Einstein spoke in a tone of warning and care for him, she had a little frown of annoyance while she crossed her arms.
"I'm sorry Ein, I really worried you. But what happened now was not because of the state of my body, it was as if I had lost all my body strength. That was a very strange feeling." Welt spoke. He didn't know how to explain exactly what that was.
"It seems that I exaggerated my greeting a little, I apologize to you."
Welt and Einstein heard a childish voice behind them. They quickly turned to see who it was. There was a 10-year-old boy with short black hair and black eyes.
"I really apologize for my rude way of introducing myself, Welt-san. If I say that I am the candidate to become the eleventh, will you understand?" The boy asked with a friendly smile.
Einstein raised his eyebrow, she initially did not understand what the boy meant by his words.
But Welt understood what he meant.
'Is that boy a Herrscher?'
Welt was very surprised and shocked. He did not expect that the possible Herrscher they were looking for was a child.
Welt then observed his surroundings and he saw that there was nothing wrong with the people around him. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that no civilian was affected by the boy's ability.
"As you two just arrived in the city now, you must be a little tired, right? So which one do you go to my house that is only 2 minutes walk from here?" The boy invited them.
"If it is not too uncomfortable then we will accept your offer. By the way my name is Welt Yang and she is my friend..." Welt spoke in a friendly and somewhat respectful manner.
"I am Lieserl Albert Einstein, it is a pleasure to meet you." Einstein spoke in his calm way, she already realized what Welt did.
"My name Aikawa Ryusuke, I am very pleased that you have responded to my invitation." Ryusuke spoke with a friendly and satisfied smile.
