Xingtie: Can’t you just let me focus on completing the commissions?

Looking at the Black Tower space station that had returned, Walter glanced helplessly at the young man whose face was beaming with undisguised joy, and then said softly,

"I hope there are no mistakes in your script, otherwise, your chances of joining the train crew are very slim."

“We care more about that child’s safety than you do. For example, do you think Himeko Murata would just stand by and watch Kiana die?”

"This is not a good example, Emiya."

"Is it possible that this is a topic I'm planning to bring up?"

Emiya smiled mysteriously and spoke softly.

"Did you know that inside the Black Tower Space Station, there are some 'cosmic artifacts' that can only serve as exhibits? And as far as I know, there's one cosmic artifact that, despite only having a few broken fragments left, can still naturally piece together the shape of a 'sword,' and sometimes a human voice can be heard emanating from it."

"She was reborn from the fire; she smiled in the fire."

Chapter 005: An old man like me can only fan of K-ON. (1/4)

"Uncle Yang, where did you go just now? You have no idea how dangerous the situation was. I almost died at the hands of that big monster."

"Thanks to Danheng and Sister Jizi for their help, otherwise, Uncle Yang, you wouldn't be able to see me."

"However, on the other hand, I actually showed off my skills quite a bit this time, don't you think, Xing?"

As soon as they returned to the space station platform, before even boarding the train, the pink-haired girl, who seemed to have just finished a great battle, eagerly came over to Walter, chattering incessantly. It was as if she wanted some comfort, but it seemed more like she wanted Old Deng to praise her.

The train crew knew this girl's personality inside and out. As a former teacher at St. Freya Academy, Ms. Yang was naturally very adept at dealing with such naive young women.

“You and Danheng have both grown. Little Sanyue, perhaps we can suggest that Himeko let you and the others do it on your own for the next expedition.”

"Yay! ————!"

After a burst of cheers and jubilation, the little pink-haired girl belatedly noticed a certain 'defense officer' following behind Old Yang, and immediately became tense.

“Uncle Yang, Estella told us that there is no staff member named Emiya in the space station's defense department. There is something wrong with his identity.”

"Yes, there is indeed a problem. I hope you can spot it sooner next time."

After saying that, Old Yang looked at Himeko and Hoshi, who had just come out of the train, and walked straight over. Before he could even speak, the little gray-haired girl next to Himeko had already subconsciously rushed in front of Emiya, her bright golden eyes staring straight at him.

"Do you remember me? Ah Xing."

"Pizza."

"Ok?"

"If there's pizza, I can remember."

"You brat, you're faking amnesia, aren't you? Did Kafka dilute the Meng Po soup you gave her?"

Ruffling the little gray hair's head, Emiya breathed a slight sigh of relief. If the little gray hair had really forgotten him completely, he would still be very sad. After all, he had been taking care of the child all this time. If he didn't raise her like a daughter, he would at least treat her like a younger sister. In fact, in terms of mental age, she was not as mature as the older sister in his hometown of Fuyuki City.

"It seems you are very close to this child."

With elegant steps, the train navigator, perfectly embodying the sophisticated and refined image of a mature woman, approached Emiya. Her beautiful eyes fell upon him, and after a brief moment of scrutiny, she spoke softly.

"Walter said you also want to join the train crew. Regardless of your past actions and stance, simply as a pilot for the Starry Sky Train, I want an answer: do you have a genuine 'reason' for wanting to join the train?"

"Naturally there is."

Emiya smiled. Putting aside the fact that these guys were the main characters, the most important thing was that the journey after boarding the Star Train would be more free, and the atmosphere on the train would be more relaxed. There were no unscrupulous capitalists like Alaya and Gaia, nor a workaholic boss like Eriol who would fill your schedule with work.

If we compare Type-Moon's home base to Mygo, then the atmosphere of Star Core Hunter is at least like Love Live!, but Train Station is different; the everyday atmosphere here drops directly to the level of K-ON!.

For an elderly person like him, after-school tea parties are more suitable. If given a choice, who wouldn't want to lie in the activity room every day eating cake and drinking black tea?

"Actually, I lied about something. I'm not from Mr. Welt's homeland. Although my homeland is also called 'Earth,' and although it hasn't experienced the so-called 'collapse' like Mr. Welt's homeland, my planet is indeed facing its end."

"Mr. Walter's homeland also had a divine key called 'Thousand Worlds One Vehicle,' which can be used for 'parallel spacetime observation.' I also happened to observe some possibilities of 'the end' through similar means. I roughly speculate that it is 'planetary consciousness.' The planetary consciousness called 'Gaia' seems to be dying. After its death, planets outside of Earth will receive the planetary consciousness's dying message and descend upon the strongest life forms on each planet."

"Its name is UO, and its strength and scale may well reach the realm of 'Commanders'."

"Therefore, if we cannot solve the problem of the planet's dying consciousness, my planet will likely face invasions from at least three, or even seven, monsters that are infinitely close to the level of 'Commander'."

Steel Earth, Coral of the Moon, Starhunting Hunters, Mechanical Horde...

Although Type-Moon's territory isn't large, it has encountered quite a few troubles in its various parallel worlds. On Fate's side, besides the arsonist Guy, there's also a mad magician with a mind full of irrational views who doesn't seem like a ruler and could be replaced. It wouldn't be surprising if there were grand finales like Steel Earth or Coral of the Moon.

"Strictly speaking, even if the planet is destroyed, I can still leave my original planet and wander in the universe, just like I am now."

"But... everything is not completely settled yet, and I still have some chance to save my hometown, so I guess I want to struggle a bit."

"Traveling with the train allows me to fully utilize my talents and become stronger faster."

"On the other hand, I also hope to spend more time with this little gray-haired boy."

Smoothing down the little gray-haired boy's fluffy hair, Mr. Emiya chuckled and continued speaking.

“I’m the older brother, and this little gray-haired girl is actually my second adopted sister. Kafka erased a lot of her memories and sent her to the train. Although I can understand their reasons for doing so, in a new environment where she doesn’t know anyone, having someone she knows by her side will make her feel a little more at ease.”

When Emiya uttered those last words, the navigator smiled with approval.

"Welcome aboard the train, Emiya."

"Honored."

Chapter 006: Rich in Rheinmetall, Poor in Laiyang Steel Pipe! (2/4)

Emiya Shirou is a time traveler.

Of course, what I'm trying to say here is not that they ran away from the small world of Type-Moon to this vast universe.

Moreover, these two worlds were originally planned to be linked, and they might have been able to be mixed up in the same worldview in the first place.

However, for Shirou Emiya now, neither Type-Moon nor Star Iron is actually his original world. He is too lazy to think too much about topics such as higher-dimensional worlds and the real world. Being able to break free from his endless and passionless mechanical life, nothing else matters to him.

As a transmigrator, Mr. Emiya was also thoughtfully given a very thoughtful "gift," which, to use a simpler term, is a "cheat code."

A system with an extremely simple framework.

Currently, there are only two functions.

Firstly, task delegation.

Secondly, the lottery card pool.

Although the framework is extremely simple and straightforward, its functionality should not be underestimated. The prize pool that can be drawn can include games from the original Megapixel universe, as well as other games, anime, and even tokusatsu works.

While Mr. Emiya hasn't figured out the maximum level for mission requests yet, starting with the gacha pool unlocked by three-star missions, there's a chance to draw from a "gacha pool" outside the current world view.

From character traits and skills to local specialties from that world.

From M1917 Smith & Wesson to Thomson Ripple Run, and even Love Train and Beyond Heaven, the collaboration gacha pools always seem to unexpectedly produce some incredibly overpowered items.

However, what's rather sad is that the reward points for commissions are not many. Usually, a ten-pull requires ten one-star commissions, and two-star and three-star commissions are sometimes hard to come by even after a month or two.

Before arriving in this cosmic space, Mr. Emiya's hometown of Type-Moon was a disaster zone for refreshing quests. He couldn't refresh the Tohno family in Misaki City, he couldn't refresh the Sajou family in Tokyo, and even the original three starter families in Fuyuki City were replaced by Ainsworth. It was also difficult for unorthodox magicians without connections to the Clock Tower to sneak in.

After a while, aside from a chance encounter with a pair of problematic sisters from the Aozaki family, he didn't manage to snag any commissions from Tsukihime, Sora no Kyoukai, or Souga no Gin. He even almost got his hands on by the True Ancestor. With his small arms and legs back then, if he really wanted to fight the True Ancestor, he could only bully a few of the others like Roya to make up the numbers. He really couldn't afford to mess with characters like Kurohime, Shirohime, or Shirohime.

It was thanks to that request from the Aozaki sisters that Mr. Emiya had an unusual stroke of luck and drew the ability "Aurora Veil". Although the Aurora Veil is a standard piece of equipment in the Dai-Shocker organization, the one he drew was a special version of "Aurora Veil" for "Tsukasa Kadoya". Not only was it bound to him and could not be taken away, but it also came with a one-click registration function for time travel, so he could get an initial identity in any new movie set.

That's the reason he was able to join the Star Core Hunters, so much so that Elio couldn't figure out why he had dragged this scoundrel into the organization.

"The banners for all characters, Welt, Silver Wolf, and Sam have just ended..."

Mr. Emiya first looked at the Nen abilities in the Hunter gacha pool, such as "Psychic Hundred Style Kannon", "Thief's Ultimate" and "Scarlet Eyes". Although they were all good abilities, the versatility of these Nen abilities was basically limited.

Even if he were given the Thief's Ultimate Skill, it wouldn't mean much. As for Chairman Nelot's Nen ability, it would have some special effects value, but for someone who has already obtained Silver Wolf's "Ether Editing" ability, it wouldn't be of much value. It wouldn't be difficult for him to modify a Susanoo set Buddha effect on himself right now.

The only decent "Scarlet Eyes" is a special version for Kurapika, which means it can unlock Special Nen abilities, allowing it to be used across all Nen types like Kurapika. However, its value to Emiya is quite limited.

Rather, it was some of the R cards in the gacha pool that gave him some ideas.

"Increase in Qi," "Four Great Elements," "Opening of Mind," "Enhancement-oriented Enhancement," "Transformation-oriented Enhancement"...

"The simplest and most unadorned things are the most valuable..."

As the saying goes, the rich become Rheinmetall, and the poor become Laiyang Steel Pipe.

It's not that Nero's Nen ability isn't cool enough, but rather that developing your own Nen ability is more cost-effective.

The ability to "edit the ether," which Silver Wolf excels at, is a unique talent possessed only by the people of this planet, and is unique in the entire universe.

The most basic reward, Constitution, is actually the most cost-effective item in many card pools.

In the Jujutsu Kaisen universe, very few people possess and develop their magical power, and those who can awaken spells based on their magical power are almost one in ten thousand.

Putting aside such rare cases, just talking about mainstream manga, the low-budget Saitama in One Piece, who has no limiters, trains without any limits, and his body's recovery ability after replenishing nutrition is almost like that of an immortal. Especially Koby, who claims to work 300 times harder, can directly catch up with the monsters in the main characters' group who have been cheating for hundreds of episodes.

Furthermore, regarding the ninjas in Naruto, setting aside chakra, just considering the average total number of cells of 130 trillion per person as a foundation, they already possess the basic aptitude to extract chakra. As for Sage Mode beings like the Uzumaki and Senju, the upper limit of chakra accumulation is even more difficult to estimate. Above that, there are the Otsutsuki and the true Otsutsuki clan. How can those people be called human anymore? They are basically cosmic monsters in human skin.

"Once you draw the 'Qi Boost' and 'Mind Opening' skills, you can stop. Other skill preferences can be directly modified using Silver Wolf's 'Ether Editor'."

Ether editing is an extremely useful ability. While it's impossible to create things from nothing, it's a god-like skill to modify existing things.

Using Ether editing, Mr. Emiya could even modify his origin, changing it from "Origin of the Sword" to "Origin of the Complete Book of Cold Weapons," but that would significantly reduce the purity of Unlimited Blade Works.

"I have 6000 left. I'm going all in on the Welt gacha. If I can pull the 'Herrscher of Reason Core,' and with Projection Magic and Origin's mana cost reduction, I can even buy hundreds of Ea in bulk."

"But let's try to get some mystical buffs before drawing cards."

Emiya silently gazed at the Black Tower Space Station outside the train. To be precise, it should be the artifact exhibition room inside the space station. The other things didn't matter, but there was half of Himeko's Godfall Sword there, while the other half was in Kiana's hands.

Kiana has half of the Godfall Sword. If I also have half, then I am equal to Kiana!

As everyone knows, Paramecium has an incredible luck of winning gold or the grand prize in a single draw.

That being the case...

That's incredible luck; I might as well try and get a piece of it!

Chapter 007: Mature ship accomplices are adept at feeding themselves knives. (3/4)

"The rare artifacts collection room? That belongs to Lady Black Tower's private collection room, and it is generally forbidden to enter without Lady Black Tower's permission."

On the main pier of the space station, Estella gazed at the train crew members, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke again.

"However, the train crew can be considered benefactors of the space station. Since it was you who made the request, I can grant you the right to tour it."

"However, please be aware that the ownership of all those cosmic artifacts belongs to Lady Black Tower without exception. Even supervisory staff members who wish to study these artifacts need the stamp of a foundational staff member... Therefore, please refrain from engaging in any activities unrelated to browsing."

To be honest, as the stationmaster, Estelle was very grateful to the train crew members for helping the station in its time of crisis. However, when it came to matters involving the Black Tower, a member of the genius club, she really couldn't make decisions on her own. If that Black Tower lady became dissatisfied with her, all the previous investments in the space station could be lost in an instant.

She has walked on thin ice all these years, and she doesn't know when she will finally be recognized by that Black Tower lady.

"To be honest, we actually had a specific goal in mind when we went to the exhibition hall."

Walter spoke to Estelle in a deep voice,

"Among the collections, there should be a cosmic artifact that may be related to my hometown and my old friend. Back then, she used equipment that she couldn't handle, and eventually fell into the imaginary space. Later, some of us tried to find her, but in the end... only a broken sword was found. The other half of that broken sword seems to be inside the space station."

"The broken sword? Is it the one numbered 293?"

After a moment's thought, Estelle remembered the artifact Walter had mentioned. The artifacts in the Black Tower space station were not always fixed. Some of them came from other members of the Genius Club or even the Interstellar Peace Corporation, and were either stored or borrowed. In fact, no more than one hundred artifacts remained in the space station for a long time, and among these one hundred, only one matched the shape of the "Broken Sword".

“Since that’s your goal, I’ll take you there directly first. If you confirm that the strange object is indeed a relic of someone from your hometown, then… if you want to retrieve it, you will have to talk to Lady Black Tower directly.”

"grateful."

Valte nodded. Although he and Himeko Murata weren't exactly best friends, they had been colleagues. Moreover, if Himeko Murata hadn't stepped forward and saved Kiana during the Herrscher of the Void incident, things might not have turned out the way they did.

Without Kiana, the Herrscher of the End who stands on the side of humanity, they would be no match for Kevin the Demon. Once Kevin returns from the Sea of ​​Quanta, the Stigmata Project will officially begin, and human civilization will be completely destroyed in the unfolding of the Stigmata Project.

Therefore, whether it's retrieving Himeko Murata's belongings, or... based on someone's words, there's a very slight possibility that she could be awakened again, based on these two reasons, if the half of the Godfall Sword really exists in the Black Tower Space Station, he will definitely do everything in his power to retrieve it.
