Chapter 3

【Himeko: That's just speculation.】

【Amako: Even the Administrator lady isn't sure?】

【Himeko: I'm just the first to enter, so I became the group owner. (bitter smile)】

【Hydro Archon Furina: You, what nation's subject are you? @'Teyvat's Most Handsome Reader Dad'】

It's Fu-Fu!

The real Fu-Fu.

(>n<)

【'Teyvat's Most Handsome Reader Dad' renamed to Lu Shu.】

【Hydro Archon Furina: Oh, a Liyue person.】

This format is clearly Liyue's.

【Lu Shu: Here I am, here I am. I'm a level-eight newbie with two and a half years of game time.】

【Itsuki: Newbie, you've slipped up! By the way, how do you know this meme? Did you travel from the Miku world?】

【The Quintessential Quintuplets: You and Fu-Fu are both from Teyvat, so you shouldn't know this meme unless you're a transmigrator!】

Those years.

Brother Ji is still very active and highly sought after by fans over there.

Miku comes from an ordinary world; she played Honkai Impact 3rd and has only heard of Genshin Impact.

After all, in her world, Genshin Impact hasn't even entered open beta.

That's why Miku found it strange.

Everyone has known each other for a while and understands each other's world backgrounds clearly.

A native Teyvat resident simply couldn't know the Brother Ji meme.

Unless they're a transmigrator.

Furina told them this too: there are many transmigrators in Teyvat.

Transmigrators, not 'Descenders'.

'Descenders' refer to those possessing great power capable of shaping the fate of entire regions.

Besides Lumine and Aether, many enter as ordinary people.

Unable to obtain a Vision, they switch worlds to move bricks.

【Sinnoh Region Cabbage Sister: The newbie is a transmigrator? Oh no, looks like this deal is off!】

She had originally planned to scam some credits from the newbie.

Pity.

No chance now.

【Little Thief Cat Nami: @Lu Shu, newbie, are you really a transmigrator?】

……

Orz.

005: Moved by Fu-Fu, no system but a Pathstrider, seven Paths (flowers requested)

【Lu Shu: I originally planned to interact with you as an ordinary person. No more pretending; I'm a transmigrator, I've laid my cards on the table.】

Lu Shu was quick.

With a 'snap', he admitted it.

'Transmigrator' isn't exactly a secret, especially since Fu-Fu is in the group.

There's even less reason to hide it.

【'The Quintessential Quintuplets' renamed to Nakano Miku.】

【Nakano Miku: As expected, it's that familiar chatting tone. And the 'Teng Ge meme'; I really like his movies.】

【Itsuki: Seems so.】

For this chatting tone, the two living in the modern era are far too familiar with it.

Of course, Himeko, Cynthia, and Amako aren't unfamiliar with it either.

Familiar as it is, they're still utterly confused.

【Hydro Archon Furina: Uh.】

【'Sinnoh Region Cabbage Sister': That admission was way too straightforward.】

【Little Thief Cat Nami: He actually admitted it?】

And so straightforwardly?

Is that reasonable?

That's not reasonable!

【Amako: Why don't you follow the usual script? Transmigrators and such usually keep their identities tightly hidden, don't they?】

Why did you, young man, just admit it outright?

Even though in her world, 'transmigrators' and such aren't strange at all.

Take old friend Mikagami Mirei, for example.

She has deep expertise in parallel worlds.

Of course.

To them, the 'Digital World' itself counts as a 'parallel world', and everyone is a 'transmigrator' in another sense.

But the novel Sanku uploaded to the group didn't unfold like that.

Everyone was stunned by Lu Shu's unorthodox moves.

[Lu Shu: Is there a problem? (Confused)]

[Itsuki Mutsuki: A huge problem!]

[Thief Cat Nami: Indeed! According to the usual tropes in novels, transmigrators usually keep their identities hidden. But I understand, especially since there's Sister Himeko.]

Since joining this chat group, she had learned about the diverse wonders of other worlds from the group members.

Lady Furina comes from a world called Teyvat, where there are Seven Elemental Archons and a Dragon Lord.

There exists something there that sounds very much like a Devil Fruit of the Logia type: the Vision.

It just can't turn one into an element.

Cynthia and Anzu Mihomi's worlds are somewhat similar; both can be called "Beast Tamer Worlds."

One is Pokémon, the other is Digimon.

In the videos uploaded to the group files, one could clearly see the terrifying abilities of those small creatures, capable of easily sinking an entire island with a single strike.

Of course, Nami believed what the two of them said about "world-ending levels."

Itsuki Mutsuki and Nakano Miku, these two, come from an ordinary world.

There are no strange superpowers.

And the world where the administrator Himeko resides is even more the place her heart longs for.

Roaming the space beyond the stars aboard the Astral Express, every journey is a brand new unknown.

Sister Himeko is a scientist full of adventurous spirit.

The two can be said to be very similar!

Not to mention the strange, powerful, and longing-inspiring power of the Paths.

One day, after she finishes drawing the map of the entire world and saves up enough Credits, she must board that magical Starry Express.

[Himeko: For me, every time I go to a planet, it is a brand new "Transmigrator's Journey."]

[Lu Shu: Indeed!]

[Lu Shu: Perhaps others need to hide, but for us who have joined the chat group, what is there to conceal?]

[Lu Shu: Aren't we all "transmigrators" on another level?]

[Thief Cat Nami: That's true.]

[Itsuki Mutsuki: Indeed.]

After Lu Shu explained a bit,

he seriously began to check the group announcement.

[Group Announcement: Group members can check in once a day, receiving 0–1000 Credits and various strange treasures as rewards.]

[Group Announcement: Members may trade with each other.]

[Group Announcement: Members may upload any item to the Shop, including curios and personal abilities, etc. The Shop will evaluate the value of uploaded items and award corresponding Credit Points.]

Lu Shu immediately opened the [Shop].

A quick glance revealed no uploaded abilities, only small trinkets.

The most numerous were from Himeko, little trinkets found across various planets.

It seems everyone is still quite cautious.

[Nakano Miku: By the way, what is your System?]

[Little Thief Cat Nami: Yes, yes, the System, hurry up and say what System you have?!]

[Himeko: Is it a 'Trash Path System'? Or an Old Man's Golden Finger? Or perhaps a 'Wife Favorability System'?]

[Hydro Archon Furina: Is there really a System?]

At this moment, the Opera Epiclese!

Furina, seated in her VIP box and watching the trial play, suddenly began breathing heavily.

Her entire face flushed red with excitement.

A System!

The novel uploaded by Miku said the protagonist's System is omnipotent, even capable of surpassing the Creator.

What if Lu Shu also had a System?

Then would the prophecy of Fontaine have another solution?

Neuvillette felt somewhat strange; was it because he couldn't eat his macaron cake today?

[Lu Shu: System? What is that?]

Furina deflated like a balloon, slumping onto her VIP throne.

Neuvillette: ?

[Nakano Miku: None? Not even an Old Man's Ring?]

[Little Thief Cat Nami: Isn't a System essential for every transmigrator?]

[Moriya Kyoko: Without a System, how dare you call yourself a transmigrator? You can't even beat a 'Snowball Beast', right? (Contempt from Brother Ji)]

One breath of "Diamond Dust" and you'd be frozen into a popsicle.

[Sinnoh Region Cabbage Sister: Tsk, can't even beat a Caterpie.]

[Lu Shu: That's too much.]

A Snowball Beast is one thing.

But if sprayed thoroughly, it would indeed be quite unpleasant.

What combat power does a Caterpie even have?

[Hydro Archon Furina: Really no System?]

[Lu Shu: Really none.]

[Hydro Archon Furina: Where are you? Are there any landmarks nearby? I'll send someone to pick you up immediately. You're too dangerous as an ordinary person! Don't worry, we're all group members; cake is on me!]

On the VIP throne, she sighed.

Forget the Slimes that are everywhere.

Those flying insects hiding in the shadows could suck your blood dry in one bite.

[Lu Shu: I...]

[Hydro Archon Furina: Never mind, I'll go to the Shop and buy a 'Location Card'.]

"..."

(ノへ￣、)

Truly, my Furina, the Queen of Unceasing Solo Dance, of all waters, all lands, all peoples, and all laws.

She herself was still enduring five hundred years of torment.

Yet she still found time to care for him.

Fu-Fu!

Wait for me!

[Lu Shu: Fu-Fu, you must be happy.]

[Hydro Archon Furina: What's wrong? Also, my surname is already Fu!]

"..."

Where did this "Sai-Nina" come from?

(￣_￣)

[Lu Shu: And who said I'm just an ordinary person? I am a Traveler who has embarked on the Path, seven of them!]

On the Astral Express, Himeko had just taken a sip of coffee.

After seeing this message.

"Pfft!!"

She sprayed it all over Pom-Pom.

PS: New book seeking bookmarks, rating votes, flowers, and monthly tickets.

006: My Path is a Bit Off (Seeking Flowers)

Amidst the starry sky, a train moved steadily, wrapped in profound power.

The train's interior was exquisitely elegant, with a touch of vintage charm.

A youthful girl with short pink hair, like a walking "Entanglement of Fate," knelt on the sofa, gazing at the vast, boundless starry sky outside the train.

Beautiful!

Even though she had seen this scene thousands of times, the girl still wanted to take another photo.

The petite "Rabbit Plushie" walked around, the sound of bubble shoes echoing with each step.

Just as K approached Himeko...

[Pfft!]

A mouthful of hot coffee sprayed all over K.

"Whoa~ Himeko, what are you doing, Pam?!"

"Sorry, the coffee was too hot."

Himeko quickly pulled out several tissues and carefully began wiping Pam down.

Hot?

What a lie!

Haven't you been stirring that cup of coffee for quite a while now?

The Little Green Dragon sat expressionless on the opposite bench, glanced over, and offered no comment.

"What's wrong, Himeko?"

Welt asked.

"Hehe, I know!"

March 7th, with her lively personality, instantly spotted the key point.

(It must be that mysterious "Chat Group" has a new member joining again.)

(Hmph, how infuriating!)

(They didn't even invite me; do they look down on this young lady?!)

The more she thought about it, the angrier she got, placing her hands on her hips in fury.

Himeko shook her head.

She had chosen to keep it secret at first.

But since they were a family on the train who spent day and night together, her occasional "zoning out" eventually caught the attention of the mischievous March 7th.

Himeko, helpless, repeatedly warned her not to tell anyone else.

She was still somewhat worried that the Chat Group might bring about changes to the train!

Lu Shu possessed the power of seven Paths.
