Hi. I sent Flandre and Meiling to Switzerland Helvetia and I completely forgot what they were going to do there.

Am I correct in assuming that it isn't load-bearing plot points, then? Nothing that needs to happen in order to support a later part of the story?

No worries; you'll figure something out.

They're going walkabout, embrace the chaos.

In the tradition of Asterix the Gaul, perhaps they'll wind up looking for a certain flower...

In Flandre's case, wonder how Sakuya got there so damn fast. In Meiling's case, Sakuya. I'm not even a little bit sorry.

But yeah, I totally get that. I've been working on a novel (yeah, you and every other nerdy trans woman in lockdown who couldn't be arsed to learn to code) and sometimes I just look at the design and worldbuilding document like

Which can be something of a problem considering that said novel is a pointed satire of post-Naro kei isekai fiction, with all the elaborate background that such a thing implies.

i have a spreadsheet for the names of the cross-classes for over 100 classes in the nonexistent video game upon which the isekai's setting is based i don't have a problem you have a problem shut up

I on the other hand, have the exact opposite problem- I went to mine my dead dying dormant fiction writing endeavor for RPG* material, only to find that past-me left current-me a noticeable lack of material to work with.


*Role-playing game, although there's some "distilled essence of lightning" juice floating around in the setting that would make a pretty good propellant and/or warhead for a man-portable weapon system, as long as you provide a man crazy enough to do portage with liquid lightning.

Why else does one go there? Chocolate, clocks, and (semi-)discreet long-term banking.

I assume the family has assets in one of Helvetia's banks.

This is more likely a tourism and unexpected encounters hike. Precisely what kind of encounters, I have no idea, but that's why I'm hoping Gryphon finds the thread again.

Perhaps they are going to purchase some things that will come in handy when they reach the front? CH has a long history of arms sales.

I'm actually kind of curious how they managed the Neuroi invasion.

Since officially the Swiss Confederation has 6 forms of their name (English, Latin, French, Romansh, German, and Italian) I think it is possible their names are unchanged from our timeline, just the one preferred is different.

As long as no one goes over the Reichenbach falls, it's all good.
