"Yin-Yang… what?"
Collei, with an innocent look on her face, scratched her head, indicating she didn't understand from the very first step.
"The Yin-Yang Bureau is a strict academy for training in Onmyoudou. Classes are divided into four ranks: Jia, Yi, Bing, and Ding. Shikigami power is allocated based on test scores."
[This is the real Genshin, friends. Don't download the wrong one.] [Don't forget to do the Yin-Yang Bureau quests.] [Yeah, time to donate some Magatama.]
Idyia continued. "The young lady beside me is truly one of the rare talents in the academy's history." "She is the legendary figure who led a Ding-rank class to victory over a Jia-rank class in the graduation battle — known as the [Military Advisor]."
[Hahaha, what kind of Lu Ge is this.] [Classroom of the Elite or Idiot Test Summoned Beast?] [I am Kokomi. I'm probably digging into the floor with my toes right now.]
After finishing the introduction, Idyia even turned to Kokomi to claim credit. But she found Kokomi's head hanging very low. It looked like she wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.
"Uh… Military Advisor?"
Paimon delivered the final blow. "Hm? Academy history… leading a Ding-rank class… what does Ding-rank class mean, Kokomi?"
Lumine had roughly figured it out. Everything you just said is straight out of a light novel setting. Could this be Kokomi's public persona? Earlier she had even told Klee that she was the Divine Priestess. This was bad.
[Kokomi energy -114514]
Everyone's thoughts were different. Mu Yang fell into contemplation. 'The leader of Watatsumi Island. When I met her before, didn't she only like reading military books?' 'Why is she into light novels now?' 'Could she have been recommended by Yae Miko?'
[Feels like Mu Yang guessed right. Aren't those two pen pals?] [My god, the exquisite tofu.]
Collei was also frantically roasting in her heart. Was this the legendary on-the-spot exposure?! Or perhaps… using a pseudonym while traveling but running into an acquaintance… 'It feels both embarrassing and a bit cool… Sure enough, titles sound coolest when someone else announces them?'
Collei looked around. No one made a sound. 'Uuu… so awkward. To blend in with everyone, should I also make up a title for myself?'
[When did Collei become the tsukkomi character?] [She just likes staying under the blanket staying up late reading light novels. What did she do wrong?] [Dead laughing. Collei is even imitating big moves from light novels.]
In the end, Kokomi herself could no longer endure the silent atmosphere. "Ahem… Military Advisor is merely a title others gave me. My real name is Sangonomiya Kokomi."
Idyia realized belatedly. "Eh? Oh no, I was being presumptuous. Military Advisor, oh no no, I should call you Miss Sangonomiya now."
"It's fine. A name is just a label. Call me whatever Miss Idyia prefers…"
Only after hearing all this did Klee finally understand. Why Honorary Knight sister said she was a priestess, yet others called her Military Advisor. So it was just like in Mommy's stories — simply another identity. Some were called kings, some were called knights. And Sister Sangonomiya was the one in the stories who solved all the difficult problems…
"Uh… uh… what are smart people called?" "They might be called sages."
Kaeya helped little Klee remember. "A military advisor is probably someone like that." "Yay! Then Klee will just call her Military Advisor too. Military Advisor sister."
Kokomi was very happy that this child could help her out of the awkward situation. And she used such a cute way of saying it.
"Then, how should I address all of you? Each of you looks quite extraordinary. Please introduce yourselves to me."
Afterward, Klee began assigning identities to everyone. She herself was a witch, because witches could "whoosh whoosh whoosh" fly around. And Mu Yang, who had just made the witch float in the sky, naturally became the witch's [Mentor].
Hearing this, Mu Yang pretended to chant a spell and lightly snapped his fingers. Klee gained the ability to float. "If little Klee studies seriously, you can do it too."
Klee blinked her big eyes. "Is Mentor telling the truth?" "Of course it's true."
Little Klee floated over to Kaeya's side and assigned identities to the rest. Kaeya was a great thief. Lumine sister was a knight. Paimon was a sprite.
"Great thief? I often played as a pirate when I was little. Becoming a great thief on land now is pretty good too. Sounds really impressive."
Kaeya smiled and responded to Klee, fully playing along.
[I want to become the Mountain Bandit King ( )] [The desert is also a sea.] [Aren't these just bandits…]
Eula stepped forward to protest. "Wait! The knight role is already taken?"
Klee thought for a moment. "Eula sister is the magic swordswoman who can split everything apart, and she has a shiny, beautiful cloak." "Hmph. That's more like it."
Although Eula kept a cold face, she still played along with Klee's game.
"As for Collei sister… um, she's like a healer."
This actually troubled Collei. Lumine thought she simply didn't like the healer profession. But the most serious one was actually Collei. She felt she couldn't live up to the role of healer. That was a very important position in the team. She had only secretly given herself titles like adventurer or musician. She never expected to be chosen as the healer. It felt like she had suddenly become as amazing as Master Tighnari.
[Positioning is clear.] [Corrupted by the adventurer Cyno.] [Forest Ranger Collei, using a wooden bow. Let's call her the Stick Brave (dog head).] [You upstairs…]
Klee stepped forward and declared that her intuition would not be wrong. "Collei sister doesn't talk much, but she's very gentle. She's exactly like the healer in the stories."
Eula also planned to comfort her, but ended up showing her playgirl nature (???). "You can do it. At least you're really good at bandaging. It is bandaging, right?" "No, what I'm best at is clearly pitching tents… But I will definitely go all out. Today is the first day I inherit the master's duty."
[Tighnari: Child, I have no objections.] [Rebellious disciple attacking the master!]
Idyia muttered to herself on the side and recorded this idea. After everyone entered the mirage realm, they could reassign identities and add role-playing elements.
At this time, Klee came to her side. "There's also Idyia sister! Idyia sister… There are many characters in the stories, but there isn't one like Idyia sister…"
Idyia herself didn't mind at all. "That's fine. After all, I'm already the administrator."
Klee didn't give up. She racked her brains. In the end, she assigned Idyia the identity of [Mascot], which didn't exist in the stories.
Klee was too young. She probably didn't understand. Calling an adult a mascot was actually very rude. It meant the other person had no strengths in any aspect, only the advantage of being cute.
Kaeya stepped forward to correct her, but Idyia herself actually liked it very much. Mascot was great. A mascot was the kind of leisurely role that didn't need to do anything and could leave everything to others to solve, right? This was perfect. It suited her so well!
