Wanjie plays Collapse Iron: It is very simple to fill it in next time

After dodging a patrol of Silvermane Guards, Xier asked, "There are so many patrolling Guards. Is this always the case?"

Dan Heng replied, "No, I remember the city wasn't so heavily guarded before... If this isn't normal, it might have something to do with us."

[“The Great Guardian should have known of our arrival.”]

Xing frowned upon hearing this. It was obvious that Bronya had failed to convince Cocolia. She wondered how she was doing now.

As they reached the door of the machinery room, they heard Shiluwa's voice from inside:

"Who is this? We're closed today. Come back tomorrow!"

…………

Academy City,

Misaka Mikoto was surprised:

"Has Xiluwa also developed the same skills as Danheng?"

Misaka Mikoto frowned and thought carefully:

"Is there anyone like March Seven who always breaks into the house without knocking?"

Without having the door pushed open thousands of times without saying hello, it is impossible to develop the keen sense of sensing someone behind the door.

At least she and Shirai Kuroko couldn't sense each other's presence before the dorm supervisor knocked on the door.

"...The mechanical house has windows." Hatsuharu Shiori reminded.

Following Hatsuharu Shiori's finger, Misaka Mikoto discovered that this was indeed the case.

Although I couldn't see the person at the door due to the angle, I could see someone approaching the door through the glass.

"Uh……"

Misaka Mikoto touched her nose awkwardly and quickly pointed to a dessert shop not far away:

"Didn't Saten-san just say she wanted crepes? Let's get in line!"

…………

[Xing raised her voice slightly: "It's us. We helped you fix things before."]

【"ha--"】

[A surprised cry from Shiluwa was heard from the door, and then the door of the mechanical room was pushed open from the inside.]

[Shilva's delicate face was full of surprise:]

"Ah, I remember now! The three from outside Beloberg! Hey, why are you still running around in the city? Don't you know that the Iron Guards are looking for you all over the streets?"

"Come in quickly! Move naturally, don't let anyone notice you!"

After welcoming them into the machinery room, Xiluwa breathed a sigh of relief.

"Alright, you'll be safe here. My machinery room is pretty soundproof, and usually no one comes here."

[Shiluwa looked at them curiously, her gaze lingering on Xier's face for a moment:]

"What have you done wrong? The Iron Guards have been brought back from the front lines for the first time ever, patrolling the city to hunt you down. The entire upper class district is in a state of panic."

Sanyueqi opens his mouth without hesitation: "We..."

"Wait a moment, March."

Dan Heng interrupted March Seven's speech and looked at Xiluwa with a scrutinizing gaze.

[“Bronya said we can trust you completely.”]

[Silva understood immediately: "You have a hidden meaning. You emphasized that Bronya trusts me, but does that mean you don't trust me yet?"]

Dan Heng nodded.

…………

Terra Continent (Arknights), Longmen Street,

Ansuo looked at Chen in front of him in confusion:

“Is it necessary to be so vigilant?”

"If she's from Cocolia, she should already know everything she needs to know."

After all, the train crew revealed their purpose to Cocolia from the beginning, and as for the secret of the star core... Cocolia obviously knew more than the train crew.

"The important things will come later."

Chen replied calmly.

What the Train Group needs is a reliable companion to fight against Cocolia together.

…………

[Shiluwa casts an admiring glance:]

"Not bad, quite alert! Don't worry, I have no say with Cocolia. She was the one who kicked me out of the City Builders back then. I don't need to side with her."

[Shiluwa speaks with the tone of someone who has experienced it]

"Unless the City Builders release irrefutable evidence proving your crimes—I don't think you'll do anything bad. And from what I know about the City Builders, if they had evidence, they would have released it long ago."

"I'm familiar with this... Cocolia, that's just her way of doing things. Let's get everyone busy first."

[“—After all, when things get busy, not many people have the energy to think about the details.”]

"Are you familiar with Cocolia?" Xing asked curiously.

[After all, her words revealed a sense of familiarity with Cocolia.]

"More than familiar, haha..." Shiluwa laughed self-deprecatingly, "We used to be inseparable sisters. Of course, that was before she became the Great Guardian..."

Shiluwa looked around. "Now, I just stay in this mechanic's room, fixing things and playing music. I'm pretty comfortable."

…………

The world of the Quintessential Quintuplets,

At the Nakano family, the five sisters sat around the table.

"As expected of someone who can connect with Bronya, Silva is quite the hidden talent."

Nakano Ichika thought of a female boss in a script she had read before.

"...Well, she's indeed a woman that even Sambo finds scary."

Nakano Nino hugged her arms tightly in fear.

"Like a legendary strategist who lived in seclusion in the mountains, coming out at the protagonist's invitation?"

Nakano Miku thought of the plot in the historical game and her eyes lit up.

"Great, plus one for my companion."

Nakano Yotsuba waved her arms happily.

"I feel...she should also know something about the star core."

Nakano Satsuki had put on glasses at some point and adjusted his nose pad like a famous detective.

…………

"Ah, I don't intend to talk about the past with you. Let's get back to you. Bronya, who disappeared for a long time, asked you to come to me. It must be something important, right?"

Shiluwa patted her chest like an older sister. "You can trust me. Although we've only met once, my intuition tells me you're not bad people. Ha, my intuition is pretty accurate."

[To be honest, Xing’s intuition is also very accurate]

[And this very accurate intuition told her that Shiluwa could be trusted]

…………

The world of Akame ga Slash,

"When Xiluwa placed the Star and the others in the mechanical room and did not report it to the Silver Mane Iron Guard, they were already trustworthy, right?"

Leone spread his hands out in confusion.

Silva's character has been certified by Bronya. As long as she is willing to listen to the train crew's explanation, she will most likely become a partner of the train crew.

Najeta glanced at Leone upon hearing this and warned solemnly:

“Better safe than sorry. Before making any important decision, you need to double-check.”

…………

"Let's cut to the chase. Tell it briefly and to the point." Xing looked at Dan Heng with trust.

Sanyueqi enthusiastically tries to snatch the task: "Storytelling is my specialty, I'll do it!"

Dan Heng quickly interrupted, "Let me do it. I'm afraid you'll have to talk until tomorrow."

Dan Heng was the main narrator, with Xing and Sanyueqi adding details from time to time. They quickly told Shiluwa about their experiences in the lower region and information about the star core.

[And handed the handwritten letter left by Bronya to Silva]

Chapter 136 Star Core Location

After quickly scanning the letter, Silva returned Bronya's handwritten letter.

"No wonder there's been no news about Bronya lately. Turns out there's such a story behind it. The lower level area has been closed off for years, and no one's been here for ages. I didn't expect this to be the case..."

【Shiluwa sighed and shook her head】

"I believe your experiences. They're so bizarre and twisted, I couldn't make them up on my own. And with Miss Seele here to testify, Star Core... Heh, I know why Bronya wants you to come to me."

…………

"Could it be that……"

At St. Freya Academy, Kiana crossed her arms, a hint of doubt in her sapphire eyes.

"...Shiluwa knows the information about the star core?"

If that's the case, then things are going too smoothly, aren't they?

The first person I talk to when I return to the Upper City will give me information about the star core...
