Genshin Impact: Teyvat Travel Log

But Gu Jing argued, "As a fan of Mai-senpai, of course I want to be more intimate in how I address her, but I also know that being too enthusiastic on the first meeting can be annoying. If you don't like it, then forget it."

These words made Sakurajima Mai feel guilty: "I didn't say I didn't like it... it's just... it's too sudden, I'm not used to it..."

"understand."

"But it's actually quite good this way."

"Because Ms. Sakurajima Mai's arrival was quite timely."

"I was just about to leave."

"If you had actually sat with me just now."

"On the contrary, I can't help but struggle with whether or not to go out."

Sakurajima Mai: "..." So, I didn't refuse just now, did I? How did I suddenly become Miss Sakurajima Mai?!

Feeling a little frantic inside, the girl's attempt to maintain composure crumbled. After all, although it was their first meeting in real life, she had seen him many, many times through live streams, so he wasn't a stranger.

Even though she was somewhat dissatisfied with someone's less-than-discreet private life, she actually wanted to be friends with him if possible.

Moreover... although she claimed to be seeking shelter from the rain, she did indeed come to the vicinity on her own initiative; otherwise, why would she have come looking for him at this time? But now... seeing Gu Jing standing up from his seat on the live stream, Mai Sakurajima truly felt like she had messed up, but the next second, the girl found Gu Jing standing next to her.

Subconsciously looking up, I met Gu's slightly amused gaze, and heard his voice in my ear:

"The school uniforms at your school are quite good. Putting aside everything else, even from this angle, I don't see any perks."

"But what impressed me even more than the school uniform was how you looked in a bunny girl outfit. If there's a chance in the future..."

"Please be sure to broaden my horizons."

Sakurajima Mai: "..." The girl's cheeks flushed red as her head buzzed.jpg

Looking down at Gu Jing with a wicked grin, Mai Sakurajima, overwhelmed with embarrassment, blushed instantly and was completely speechless.

What's even more outrageous is that there was a group of scoundrels in the live stream. When Gu Jing was making fun of her to her face, Yae Shinko and others, who didn't care about making things worse, also sent out comments with wicked smiles. They were all screenshots of her wearing a bunny girl outfit in the story!

However, what Mai Sakurajima didn't know was that when Gu Jing and the people in the live stream saw her arrive during class time, they also began to speculate about her true intentions.

*******

Once Mai Sakurajima had calmed down, Hachisho brought out the cappuccino and cake she had ordered. To be honest, although this Hachisho-sama was a weirdo, the cake she made was no worse than that of a human.

In the live stream, Gu Jing arrived at a high-tech hall.

Not only did the overall art style change from 2D to 3D, but he was also surrounded by beautiful and hot women.

What's particularly striking is the women's attire. Apart from the white-haired woman in the lead, who wore an exquisitely designed white dress, the rest of the women looked like special forces, dressed in pure black combat uniforms.

No one knew what he had just said, but the woman in the lead laughed, pressed her hand to her chest, and shouted a slogan: "Long live humanity!"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the hall started chanting slogans, with shouts of "Long live humanity!" rising and falling in waves.

Mai Sakurajima was confused when she saw this, but the comments in the live chat gradually made her understand what was going on.

[He Xi: The story of this world is somewhat cruel. Humanity on Earth has become extinct, and the YoRHa forces left behind by humanity have lost their reason for existence. However, this is also what makes it so poignant—it's like a set essay question: if we lose our purpose, should we live on or perish?]

[Black Tower: Is that what you're thinking? I feel like this story is about androids who, after gaining feelings, became different.]

[Yingmei: But no matter what, they're willing to go to the crossover anime world with Ajing, so at least they won't have to experience those tragedies from the original story.]

[Kurumi: Yeah! The YoRHa unit was created to help humanity reclaim Earth, but humanity went extinct many years ago. Now, the orders they receive are from other androids pretending that humanity still exists on the moon. At first, I thought these guys were the masterminds, but after watching, I realized they're doing this to force the YoRHa unit's androids to continue fighting for humanity's glory! ??]

[Keisha: Being able to understand what emotions are and cherish their existence means that even an android has the right to experience happiness!]

[White Demon: But I must say, these guys are truly androids, aren't they? They're beautiful girls in combat suits, and they also have long, flowing black stockings that hug their flesh! If you look closely, you can even see that their breasts are perfectly teardrop-shaped!!!]

[Xingbao: Oh? Is there any significance to this shape?]

Eriri: Well, strictly speaking, beauty only comes out through comparison. As everyone knows, those guys with larger breasts are fine when they're young, but as they get older, they usually sag and lose their beauty.

The beauty of a water droplet lies in its perfect balance: the upper part curves slightly downwards, while the lower part is rounded and full, with very smooth lines. The overall appearance is natural yet retains a sense of roundness and fullness, creating a truly artistic effect!

[Kasumigaoka Utaha: As expected of Eri Kashiwagi! I may be unworthy, but I perfectly meet all the conditions you described!]

Eriri: Tsk! Why don't you just die?

Seeing the comments from the crowd and learning about the YoRHa unit's situation, Mai Sakurajima didn't feel it was all real, but she agreed with Keisha's statement that she could understand what emotions were and cherish their existence, and that even androids had the right to find happiness!

But...where is her happiness? Thinking of this question, Mai Sakurajima subconsciously glanced down.

Discovering that her shape also met the conditions Eriri had mentioned, she blushed a little embarrassed, but she was also secretly delighted.

Looking at the live stream again, Gu Jing had pulled off a major feat, completely integrating the entire YoRHa force, along with the lunar base, into this world!

When Commander White asked him what to do next, Gu Jing's target was the giant whale swimming above the clouds!

His explanation was that it was perfect for testing the combat effectiveness of the YoRHa forces!

PS: The image is 2B.

Chapter 405 Xingbao: Don't understand? This is the real master engraver!!! (doge.jpg)

The rumbling of thunder reached my ears, and looking around, the sky was covered with dark clouds. The torrential rain that had been pouring down since noon seemed to shroud the whole world in a gloomy mist.

But above the clouds, which are difficult to see with the naked eye, hundreds of YoRHa's androids, equipped with individual flying vehicles, fired at the giant whale whose entire body was made of water.

The trails of clouds left in the sky created a cool visual effect, but the results were minimal. Tests revealed that the YoRHa forces' firepower was not ideal, and their individual combat capabilities were only comparable to those of ordinary Eye of God users.

However, the unique magical energy in the NieR world also allows them to deal effective damage to the giant whale covered in water.

Moreover, the most powerful weapon is the space-based kinetic energy weapon, the 'Rod of God' launched from a lunar base 38 kilometers away.

The entire structure is a metal rod made of rare metals, 50 centimeters in diameter, 10 meters long, and weighing 20 tons. It is launched using magic energy technology unique to the NieR world and can accurately hit the target within 10 minutes.

In terms of power, it is roughly comparable to a hydrogen bomb with a yield of tens of millions of kJ. If it were to hit Earth directly, its effective kill radius would be 30 kilometers.

However, the great whale, which had been attacked head-on by the 'Staff of God' and was badly injured, was still able to survive and even became ferocious. In the midst of the storm, the raindrops that were as big as beans became as heavy as a thousand pounds. With thunderous explosions and powerful lightning bolts that struck out from the clouds, golden shields also rose on the bodies of the combatants in the critical moment!

******

As captured by the live stream camera, Gu Jing took a step forward and appeared on the battlefield. He held A2 and 2B, who were his main focus, in his arms, while the other combatants, protected by shields, floated behind him.

Although Silver Wolf and the others in front of the screen knew that someone was about to start showing off, the anticipation rising in their hearts made them subconsciously hold their breath as they watched the wind whip his robes around and the lightning strikes relentlessly without causing any ripples on his shield.

Gu, who was holding a girl in his arms, met the gaze of the ferocious whale, gave it a disdainful smile, and unleashed the domain of [Extreme Demon Sword Technique: Storm Style]—

The Nameless Realm: The Origin of All Things; The Realm of Clarity and Condensation: The Pure Oneness of Self-Nature; The Realm of Ascension and Eternity: The Continuation of Reason and Principle; The Realm of the True Self: Flawless Return; The Eternal Torch: Blazing Flame; Surtr; The Oath of Judah; When the Pine Trees Sing; Pacifying Disaster; Dreams of One Mind; A Thousand Nights of Floating Dreams; The Radiance of Still Waters Flowing.

Red, orange, purple, green, blue... weapons emitting various lights pierced the gloomy sky like shooting stars!

The sword formation that unfolded from this point centered on the entire giant whale, covering an area of ​​ten kilometers in radius in the sky!

Thousands of cards printed with everyone's portraits were also forming circles in front of Gu Jing and rotating continuously, just like shuffling cards. They were flipped over and converged into a straight line. Gu Jing, who had put down A2 and 2B, drew 3 cards from them!

Those who had guessed about this watched with great anticipation as he turned over the first card, only to see the smiling face of the old lady Zi printed on it!

The card he threw out transformed into a phantom image of Yakumo Yukari holding a parasol in mid-air. She covered her mouth and chuckled, then suddenly closed her folding fan and pointed it at the giant whale. A huge gap also opened up in six directions: above, below, left, right, front, and back!

Countless blood-red eyes flickered in the gaps, and as the train approached, Yukari Yakumo's phantom chuckled softly:

"Oh dear~ Danger! Quickly retreat into the realm."

"Yes, yes, right there. Stand still and don't move!"

The next second, in the whale's terrified eyes, trains sped out from the gaps, crashing into its massive body from top to bottom, left to right, and front to back!

The sounds of thuds and crashes were incessant, and amidst the whale's painful roars, the speeding train also splashed water everywhere!

Before it could catch its breath, Gu Jing revealed the second card, which prominently featured Keqing's image. But what was even more surprising was that the live stream suddenly switched to a different scene, showing Keqing unleashing her ultimate attack.

The shot of him holding a long sword horizontally with his eyes open attracted people's attention, but what appeared next in the picture made people exclaim that it was impossible!

"Don't blink!"

"Swift as a sword!"

"Lightning-like me cuts through all clutter!"

The swift figure transformed into lightning, constantly weaving around the giant whale, with various sparks of electricity and sword energy crisscrossing everywhere.

With a series of slashes, Ah Qing, who kept swinging her sword energy, was like a sword immortal in the world. Each slash made the giant whale cry out and splash water everywhere. If the giant whale was about 50 meters long at the beginning, after eating Yakumo Yukari's 'Abandoned Station', it became about 40 meters long. Now it is getting smaller and smaller, even smaller, down to less than 30 meters!

Not only did Ningguang and others who were familiar with Keqing feel something was wrong, but even Keqing herself felt that Gu Jing had specifically strengthened her.

But to be honest, watching the monster arch its back and howl, and seeing herself in the scene performing a phantom sword dance as if she had cheated, Ah Qing was also thrilled, and felt that she should reward someone properly that night!

However, those who pay attention to details also noticed that the Keqing conjured by the card is holding a different weapon and does not have the Eye of God.

Perhaps... this is the reason for the difference in their performance?

Meanwhile, the third card was revealed by Gu Jing, and the live stream screen changed again, switching to the ultimate move of the Ironclad Princess.

Another difference is that Himeko, who was drinking coffee, was sitting in Gu Jing's lap, with a sweet look in her eyes. The laser beam launched from the near-Earth satellite was not finished in one go, but was continuously output to the giant whale.

Amidst its agonizing howls, as its massive body was relentlessly eroded by the laser beams, Himeko smiled and said, "I think you might not understand... humanity has never concealed its desire to control the stars... including me, of course."

As the giant whale's body was completely obliterated by the laser beam, the incessant rain stopped at that moment. Beams of sunlight pierced through the clouds like sharp arrows, and people's moods brightened as they looked at the clear sky.

[March 7th: I've realized that even when the older sisters are fighting, they don't forget about elegance!]

[Kaguya Houraisan: However, compared to Himeko, the gap between that certain old lady Murasaki is indeed... ddsfasfgs...]

[Silver Wolf: Pfft~ More dog food and special effects! The already dead whale is furious: What have I done to deserve this? (Funny.jpg)]

Paimon: But isn't Keqing's strength a bit off? Even if she's gotten stronger recently, I usually...

I've never seen her this good.

[Xingbao: Don't you understand? This is a real master engraver!!! (doge.jpg)]

[Danzhu: Budget maxed out! (doge.jpg)]

******

Back at the lunar base, the YoRHa forces are facing a serious problem. Considering that Gu Jing has to save the day in this operation, people including White, A2, and 2B are somewhat depressed. After all, sexiness and cuteness are worthless in the face of strength!

As for injuries? There's no need to worry too much. Even if you lose your body, you can just get a new prosthetic body.

At their core, these androids are still AI. As long as the core data is intact, they can always rise again. But if humans are disappointed in them... 2B and the others feel like the sky has fallen.

Fear, unease, tension, and dread... a variety of emotions spread through my mind.

2B and the others didn't quite understand what was going on, and even couldn't help but wonder if their prosthetic bodies had been infected with a virus.
