"Once again the choice of kingdoms is randomized. My creator has been given White Hind. Consciousness clear. Brain functions intact, Preparing for... Ouch!" The very instant consciousness mapping went through, my head was pushed down violently. "Drop your knees and kneel before Prince Kiana!" "Ah... Oh!" The timing couldn't be worse. I'll just put up with it for now. I found myself in a palace and in my sight was none other than Jackal. 'Why did it have to be Jackal? One of Kevin's servants? But like I said before, I have to put with it for now.' I said in my mind as I stood up.

"Huh? What's wrong with your knees? Where are your usually manners? Guards! Take him out and..." "Oh, that won't be necessary Jackie... nyam, so delicious... this one is the best we have for the mission after all."

I finally got a clear view. It was Kiana eating a lot of food and right now she was holding two pieces of meat by the bone and eating them while holding them like Goku, Luffy, and Natsu, and my other favorite Anime characters who are big eaters and hold meat by the bone while eating them. "I'm gonna lick my fingers now... Hmm, the mission is too important to hand it to someone else at this point. As for the details... Jackie will fill you in." Said Kiana. "Prince, I'm the Imperial Mentor, and my name is Jackal. Please stop calling me Jackie." Said Jackal. "Yeah, yeah, I know. Come on Jackie, just fill him in... Oh, my chop dropped..." "Alright..."

'So Kiana is called a prince instead of a princess. Why though? Even if I did ask out loud they'd answer don't ask why like in "South Park: The Stick of Truth" where Eric Cartman didn't want the new kid to ask why Kenny was a princess instead of a prince.' I turned to the advisor, whose dog-face mask blocked any inquiring eyes. I looked over myself and found myself dressed in an asian styled fighting skin battlesuit. I had the Herrscher Dragon symbol on me.

"The person in the portrait is the target. Maybe you knew her from your previous missions, but I need you to focus." She passed me this scroll. "It's... Princess Kongming?" On the scroll was a chibi version of Princess Kongming. "Huh?! She's no longer a princess. She's a usurper with a vile plan to steal the throne. She's fled Moon Embrya trying to escape justice. She colluded with Chancellor Rita and falsified the late emperor's decree. She will be held accountable for treason. "..." 'So in this world in the past, Rita is a ruler again of Moon Embrya like in last year's event. So that means I get to see her in that skin again. Not that I want to.' I said to myself in my mind.

"And your mission is to bring her back, dead or alive." "Dead or alive?" "Yes, her corpse will also do." "..." I looked at the scroll one more time. Didn't know her reputation had plunged to the bottom on this side. But... The portrait... gave me huge difficulties to connect her with an evil usurper... "Hah..." I couldn't help but snicker... 'I'd believe it if someone says it's a doodle from a three year old.' "What?! Do you have any problem with the prince's master portrait?" Asked Jackal. I wanted to draw one of my swords to shut her up with fear, but she would call guards in thinking that I'm threatening her. "Oh, no, of course not. I was simply marveled at the wonderful painting techniques. Simple but elegant strokes... bold and vibrant colors... lifelike facial expressions. An absolute masterpiece! It should go on a wanted poster with a bounty."

"Humph, can't say you're wrong." Said Jackal. I folded the scroll and gave the advisor my most serious face. "Well then... it will be done. I'll bring her back alive. Not dead." I took my leave and exited the door. I had only taken a few steps before the person who'd been lurking outside emerged to block my way. It was a chibi version of Dr. Tesla with a mecha suit. So we're gonna call her Tesla-Zero.

"Finally over?" Asked Tesla-Zero. "Oh, there's been a bit of delay, but it's over now." I answered. "How does it look?" "Not good. The dog-faced advisor is a mean character just like in the main storyline." "Well then, better get our "mission" started."

We exited outside of the palace to find Kongming. "Another adventure in another world in the past. I could never say no to this type of Isekai adventure. Isn't that right?" I said. Then Drago's illusion appeared. "Yes, that's right Patrick. You enjoy these types of adventures just like when Seele pulled us into her game world." Said Drago. "We're on a mission now. I've watched a lot of Isekai and fantasy Anime. So we know what to do."

I was going to enjoy this adventure indeed. Isekai is really popular. I've watched a lot of Kadokawa's Isekai Anime. Including their Isekai crossover Anime "Isekai Quartet." I've also lately watched this fantasy Anime "Lord Marksman and Vanadis."
