Please Bully Me, Miss Villainess!

Chapter 189 : The First Teleportation

"—That concludes the key points of this mission's operation."

On the ritual square of the Pelo tribe's gathering place, the Knight Order's new recruits were conducting a friendly Q&A session.

Standing on the viewing platform was a familiar figure,

"I am Garth Leinster, Captain of the 11th Knight Squad, —and also the assistant commander for this 'Teleportation Gate' project."

Noble families have always emphasized cultivating comprehensive qualities in their heirs, especially for males who need to temper their warrior spirit. They would send their children to the Knight Order for training after coming of age, and Garth was no exception.

"Those present here are undoubtedly talented individuals who have received magical education, your expertise is unquestionable. However, the teleportation gate is an expensive and precision equipment. So if there's anything you don't understand or are unclear about during the mission execution, you can ask us! Our elite knights will kindly inform you!"

"Additionally, to ensure everyone is clear about the objectives of this project, I will now call names. When called, the new knights please recite our squad's guidelines in order!!"

Garth raised his arm, pointing directly at a rather short new recruit in the first row:

"Starting with you!"

Garth's appearance was already not very friendly, and being pointed at like this made the recruit at the front of the line tremble nervously. But he reacted quickly, immediately standing at attention and saluting before speaking:

"Guideline one, ...... never disturb Lady Elsa and Lady Yvonne when they're alone...!!"

"No energy!" "No vigor!" "Can't hear at all!" "Do it again!"

The elite knights behind Garth shouted reprimands,

"With such a small voice, you want to be a Fusion Knight?!"

"In the 11th Knight Squad, when the Knight Captain says he can't hear, it means he can't hear!!"

"Again!!"

"...Yes!!!"

Under the seniors' scolding, this recruit finally puffed out his chest and spoke in a resounding voice:

"Fusion Knight Code—Never interrupt when the two are in a good mood! Absolutely no interference! Absolutely no meddling!"

"Good, next!!!"

"Fusion Knight Code Two! I am for fusion, all for fusion!!"

"Good!! Much---more---spirited!!!"

......

What on earth are these people doing?

Yvonne, who was adjusting the magic array on the side, was somewhat speechless, but leaving it to her brother should be fine.

The teleportation array was already set up, and in front of her, a pure, transparent magic crystal was floating above the ground.

This was a teleportation crystal Yvonne had made using a large amount of magic stones, based on her memory of the "Final Fantasy" style.

Now, just by placing a hand on this and activating the teleportation array, one could reach the desired destination.

The concept of 'teleportation gates' is not uncommon in many games and fantasy works, with the most classic probably being Doraemon's "Anywhere Door". However, before she proposed this idea, there was no corresponding concept in this world.

Although the concept of 'gates' didn't exist, 'transferring living beings across distances in a short time ignoring space' was possible in this magic-filled world—it was known as teleportation magic, a high-level magic.

Magic theory believes that this world itself is a complete living entity, and the world's magic is the force that keeps the world running.

Like humans, animals, plants... all life in this world contains magic as life energy, allowing life to continue.

Although powerful magic users could expend large amounts of magic to perform teleportation, the idea of allowing people with no magical aptitude to use 'teleportation spells' was previously unthinkable.

The 'Silver Shoes' gave her inspiration: if there was a way to link teleportation users with ley lines, then transfer could be achieved.

However, for transfer magic to be safely used, magical devices must be set up at ley line nodes, places where magic concentrates.

The teleportation gate essentially provides a small boat, allowing the transferred individual to be carried along the earth's magic flow to the next node. The principle is to temporarily particalize the user during teleportation magic use, transfer along ley lines, and rematerialize at the destination, achieving 'instantaneous transfer'.

For magic users who can use magic, this is not an issue, but for ordinary people who can't use magic, without special conditions like teleportation gates, it would be like a ship trying to dock without a lighthouse's guidance. Without the teleportation gate providing guidance to the destination, the intricate ley lines would be like rapid rivers, causing teleportation users who can't steer to lose direction.

Therefore, there are many limitations, such as personal luggage not exceeding 2KG.

Items cannot be transferred without special magic stones installed for resonance.

Moreover, the larger the item's volume, the more additional magic stones are needed, increasing the cost. Adding the magic power cost for the transfer itself, for merchants carrying goods, it's definitely not a profitable affair.

However, for travelers and adventurers in urgent need of quick travel, teleportation gates are definitely the best method to quickly reach destinations.

This is also of great significance for Oz Kingdom itself.

The opening of teleportation gates—means that elite knight squads and magic users can appear in any corner within the national borders at any time. If teleportation gates can be widely established on this land, those shadowless demons would no longer be feared.

And now, it was finally completed.

"This is, teleportation—"

Stepping onto the stone stairs, Yvonne excitedly looked at the completed teleportation array before her,

Today was the day this epoch-making invention would be realized.

"Lady Yvonne, the royal palace has sent word that they are ready."

During the testing phase, the chosen teleportation endpoint was set to the royal palace, which already had a teleportation array.

Distance wasn't an issue, 10 kilometers or 100 kilometers made no difference to the massive magical power of ley lines. What mattered was the feasibility of the teleportation device.

At her own insistence, Yvonne took on the task of being the test subject.

Huff...

Now, standing in the teleportation area, Yvonne took a deep breath and placed her hand on the surface of the teleportation stone.

"Alright, then we'll start the activation immediately."

She instructed the magic user responsible for adjustments to activate the magic runes.

"We can begin now."

At the moment of activation,

The magical patterns under her feet began to glow in sequence as if electrified, layer upon layer of magic runes floated up, slowly rotating and enveloping her body.

Her body began to feel a sense of lightness, as if losing gravity.

Everything before her eyes became bright, and her heartbeat quickened accordingly.

Yvonne held her breath.

It's about to begin—

The first teleportation was about to start!

......

It's too slow,

Hasn't Evie's side started yet?

Elsa waited anxiously in the palace,

Before the teleportation began, for safety, she had used her skill to teleport to the royal palace in advance to receive Yvonne,

As the holder of the 'Silver Shoes', although she could also activate teleportation, there were still many limitations.

For example, it had to be a place she had been to before and had an impression of, and with her magical power, twice a day, once there and back, would nearly exhaust her.

Moreover, apart from Yvonne, she couldn't teleport with anyone else. So if she wanted to travel with others... for instance, bringing Bebe who was crying and unwilling to stay home alone, the Silver Shoes weren't very useful.

"Lady Elsa, there's no need to worry! Yvonne will definitely complete the task successfully!"

A loud voice sounded from behind, startling Elsa.

She turned around and realized it was Arnold, the current Knight Commander.

"...Thank you for your kind words, Lord Arnold."

She bowed to Arnold as a gesture of courtesy,

The First Knight Squad, led personally by Knight Commander Arnold, was responsible for adjusting the royal palace's teleportation gate.

Arnold was Michel's close friend and also one of the capturable characters in this game,

For these capturable characters, Elsa, as the female protagonist, had a mysterious attraction.

Faced with this young lady as cute as a young rabbit, Arnold's tanned skin flushed red with sunburn.

"It might be sudden... Lady Elsa! If the teleportation is successful, would you mind having a cup of tea with me later..."

"Hmm?"

Still smiling, Elsa deliberately interrupted him, while making a surprised expression.

"Oh my~ I'm sorry, I didn't hear what you said, but I see there's some movement in the teleportation room... Excuse me, I'll go check—!"

She jogged to the teleportation room set up in the basement of the royal palace.

At that moment, a sky-blue light leaked from the door cracks.

However, from the closed teleportation room, no one came out for a long time.

An ominous feeling spread in Elsa's heart

"...Evie, are you in there?"

She tried knocking and asking, but there was no response from inside, instead, strange noises came out

"Evie, are you alright!? I'm coming in—!!"

Out of concern, she hurriedly pushed the door open and went in, but the scene before her eyes greatly surprised her.

"...?!?"

A completely naked Yvonne was half-kneeling on the ground, frustratedly examining the engraved magic symbols,

"Where exactly did it go wrong... the personal items didn't teleport over?"

She was calculating something with a charm paper on the side,

"Tch, it seems the efficiency is not enough, need to adjust it again."

"Lady Elsa, Lady Yvonne—how's the situation?"

Knight Commander Arnold, who had followed, was about to push the door open,

But his hand was firmly gripped by Elsa

"Lady Elsa??"

"I'm very sorry, Lord Arnold—you can't come in right now."

Elsa peeled Arnold's hand off the doorknob with a kind smile.

"The teleportation was somewhat successful, but there are some minor issues—Evie and I will resolve them—no one is allowed to enter before then—is that alright?"

Although it was a tone of seeking opinion, Elsa's terrifying gaze startled even the knights standing guard at the door.

It also scared Knight Commander Arnold, making his heart tremble.

Instinct told them that they absolutely must not take another step forward, otherwise they might die miserably.

"Evie!! Are you alright?"

"Not really... ouch... my head hurts."

Although she had heard that the actual physical sensation of teleportation wasn't pleasant, she hadn't heard it was this bad!

It was like being stuffed into a spinning small ball, constantly rotating and jumping with eyes closed, until one's stomach turned, unable to remain conscious.

Additionally, the teleportation had some side effects on the body,

"Is your body okay?"

"At first there was some ringing in my ears... so I didn't hear you calling me."

"Are you feeling better now?"

Hearing her voice was a bit hoarse, Elsa quickly took out a cup of water from her spatial storage and gave it to her,

This was a side effect of teleportation, there would be temporary sensory loss... simply put, ringing ears and blurred vision. The light in the ley line flow was too dazzling, and the whispers of elemental spirits were also fragmented enough to cause headaches.

Although it was only a few seconds, and within the tolerance of ordinary people, overall it was quite uncomfortable.

"It seems there are still many areas that need improvement."

"No..."

Yvonne struggled to stand up. Once it came to work, she seemed like a different person.

"We must carefully check where exactly the bug occurred..."

"Finding bugs is fine, but can you... can you put on some clothes first?!"

"Wait a moment, I see it, there's a stroke missing in this magic symbol... Quick, have the palace alchemist bring some ink, achoo—!!"

"See, you've caught a cold, haven't you?"

Although quite helpless, Elsa could only take off her own outer garment.

But she found it was difficult to even button up the chest when worn on Yvonne.

"...It seems a bit small."

"It's your... this part that's too... by the way, has it grown again?"

Elsa cast a resentful gaze.

"No way, I don't think I've eaten anything special recently?"

This remark made Yvonne nervous, as an increase in bust size wasn't a good thing for her.

"What exactly do you eat to grow so big... we eat the same things!!"

"Well... I think it's a matter of physique."

If possible, she wouldn't mind giving some of this to Elsa, but such a thing probably couldn't be done even with miraculous teleportation magic, right?

"Oh right, Kukur gave me some Pelo tribe clothing earlier... Evie, why don't you wear this for now."

Elsa opened her 'inventory' and took out a cloth package, from which she retrieved a knitted garment.

"...What kind of clothing is this?"

This type of garment wasn't the kind of clothing she was familiar with, made through cutting and sewing. Rather than saying it was a 'garment' made through cutting and sewing, it was more like a whole piece of fabric. There were tassels like rope knots on both sides as trim, with adjustable rope knots at the neck and waist,

"Hmm... I'm not quite sure, but it seems to be a style popular among the Pelo tribe, let's try it on."

Elsa unfolded the garment in her hands, somewhat inexpertly passing it over Yvonne's arms.

The fabric itself had a very good drape, and the contrasting colors and antique plaid woolen fabric worn on her body made her look like a goddess from an oil painting, with a kind of inexplicable inviolable sacredness.

"Hehe... with Evie's figure, you really look good in anything."

"...Please remove your hand from my chest when saying such things?"

"No! This is too dangerous!"

Because there was no underwear, the chest area was quite dangerous.

"I absolutely won't allow Evie to be taken advantage of!"

"You really are..."
