I'm going to kill everyone who calls me Hill.

Chapter 5 Mysterious Contact

Xier, who had been sobbing for a long time, finally adjusted her mood. She opened the door and walked out of her room. Because Uncle Songyuan's house was quite big, several people chose a room as a temporary resting place.

Pushing open the door, Xier saw the Shui Xiao boy gathered in the living room, shyly turning his face away, while on the other side was Celia who stood up with her arms spread out, and a woman who was looking left and right beside Celia.

"Amazing! Is this how it's sewn?"

The woman who spoke was the illustrator of "Fergal Knight" - Marie Ne. Out of curiosity about Celia's clothes, she asked to observe Celia's clothes. Although Celia's clothes were drawn by her, she only had a general idea of ​​many places, so she didn't know how to make them specifically. But she believed that through this observation, her clothing drawing skills could be improved to a higher level!

But what was originally a normal scene became orange in the eyes of Seele, who had just experienced the baptism of pink memories. So much so that when Seele saw Mari adjusting Celie's collar, she unconsciously brought the two into the picture as herself and Bronya.

"Ah~ So shy..."

Xier felt her face turn red in an instant, and she shyly covered her face. Although she knew that this scene was normal, she couldn't stop the girl's passion.

"Eh? Miss Xi'er?"

Seeing Xier's strange behavior, Celia asked softly.

"Hey! Xier didn't see anything, sorry! Sorry for disturbing you!"

After saying this with a blushing face, Xier quickly turned around and went back to her room.

(What happened?) by Celia

(I don’t know…) by the equally deceived Shui Xiao boy

(Lovely little girl!) by Mary

--------------------------

The door was shut with a bang. Xier recalled her embarrassing behavior in front of the others and felt embarrassed. Why did she imagine such a thing out of nowhere?

"toot"

Just as Xier took a deep breath to calm herself down, the cross star badge on her chest suddenly vibrated.

"Eh? This is it?"

Xier picked up the silver-gray cross star badge curiously. The surface of the badge slowly flowed with light blue energy. It was said that it was a product of secondary psionic energy. This was the badge given to her by No. 196424. It was said that it was the mark of the empire. Xier was able to enter the psionic field with it. Xier originally thought that the role of this badge was like something like an identity card, but the sound it suddenly made did it mean that it had other functions?

What Seele thought was not wrong. In addition to being an identity card, this thing also has the functions of a beacon and a communicator. Its general function is similar to the detective badge of the Young Suicide Gang in Detective Conan. However, Seele naturally could not associate it with this because she had never watched Conan. However, the smart girl still roughly guessed the function of this thing.

"Whose communication is this?"

Xier did not answer the call rashly. Although No. 196424 had temporarily handed it to her, Xier did not forget that this thing was a product of a huge cross-world empire. Who knows if they have any strange inspection devices? Xier did not forget the two crystals that were enough to destroy the entire neon.

"Could it be number 196424?"

The only candidate Xier could think of at the moment was No. 19644. As a member of the Trans-World Empire, it was normal for him to have the ability to communicate across the world.

The badge kept making sounds, and the energy mark on it kept flowing as if urging Xier to answer the call.

Finally, after the sound had been ringing for about ten minutes, Xier finally pressed the protruding part of the badge. Although she didn't know how to use this beautiful scenery badge, but when the sound was ringing, the protrusion there should be the function of answering the call.

As Xier expected, after she pressed the protrusion, the sound of the badge stopped, and was replaced by a pleasant female voice coming from the badge. However, because Xier placed the badge on the bed, she was unable to hear clearly what the other party was saying at first.

Xier picked up the badge carefully, fearing that she might touch something that shouldn't be touched. She carefully put it to her ear, and heard a language that Xier couldn't understand.

But after just one second, the words turned into a language that Seele was familiar with, and what came from the badge was...

"Sorry, the number you have dialed is not available at the moment..."

"what!"

Xier was stunned for a moment. What was going on? It turned out that the call was not coming from me, but from me!

"All right……"

Xier was disappointed and ready to put down the badge. It turned out that it was not so easy to contact her.

"Wait! Wait! Don't hang up!"

Suddenly, the female voice from before came from the badge.

"0v0?"

Xier picked up the badge suspiciously. What was going on?

"Sorry, I saw you didn't answer the phone just now, so I made a little joke. After all, no one has ever ignored my call for such a long time, but I didn't expect it to be a bit too much, hehe!"

In the badge, a pleasant voice with a hint of electronic sound spoke to Xier. The voice was very pleasant to the ears, and every word sounded like singing, but at the same time there was a hissing sound of electricity, and it was not known whether it was just the other person's voice or a problem with the call.

"Ah! Oh, yes, is this Miss Xi'er over there? Since the world you are currently in is outside the territory of the empire, there are some problems with the signal, but I have tried my best to keep the communication open."

"I'm sorry, it's my fault. I didn't answer the call right away."

Xier was stunned when she heard the other party's name, and then she confirmed that the other party was indeed looking for her, but why would a stranger suddenly look for her, could it be?

"Oh, by the way, Miss 196424 asked me to apologize to you because her request made you run to another world."

The other party conveyed the apology from No. 196424 to Xier, and Xier thought to herself, as expected.

"Ah, by the way, please Miss Xi'er keep the beacon open. The Empire will send someone to pick you up soon."

"Eh? Empire?"

Xier was stunned. Hasn't the empire been silent for more than 50,000 years?

"Oh, by the way, Miss Xi'er doesn't know that the Empire has revived. Now the two emperors have jointly notified me that I am an examiner affiliated with the Space-Time Administration, responsible for handling time travel incidents. It happened that Miss 196424 reconnected to the Empire network, and we learned that you were taken to another world. Because of Miss 196424's request, we will give priority to Miss Xi'er's affairs. Your feat against the abyss will be recorded in the Empire."

The other party seemed to be full of respect for Xier's behavior of standing up against the abyss.

"Eh? Not that great anymore..."

Xier scratched her head embarrassedly. She didn't expect that her throwing of two crystals would cause such a big response.

"Oh, sorry, I forgot to tell you how to use the beacon. Wait a minute."

The other party seemed to be looking for something. There was a loud rummaging sound coming from the badge, accompanied by some noise from time to time. "My Lord Bishop, where did you put the user manual I sorted out? Hey! The mistress took it away! It was Mistress Sandra!!!"

"Ah... this doesn't seem to be going smoothly..."

Xier listened curiously to the noise coming from the other side, it seemed that something went wrong.

"Sorry, sorry."

Finally, after two minutes, the other party returned to the communication, but he sounded breathless and it seemed that things were not going well.

"Well... due to some uncontrollable circumstances, the manual is gone, but it doesn't matter! I have memorized the instructions... probably..."

The other party's voice became weaker and weaker, until it was barely audible.

(hiss!)

Xier felt her scalp go numb. Oh my god, I hope she won’t be blown to death…

"Well, you do this first... and then... this."

The other party recalled the operating procedures in his mind and directed Xier to activate the beacon.

"Yes, yes, that's it. Then wait for ten seconds. If it doesn't explode, then it's successful!"

After hearing these words, Xier, who had just completed the previous step according to the other party's instructions, felt that her expression must be very interesting.

(Can I ask for compensation for mental damages...)

Of course, this is just a complaint in my heart. Who knows if the Empire has such a thing as mental damage compensation.

After waiting cautiously for ten seconds, Xier took off the pillow that was protecting her head and looked at the badge in the distance.

Well, good, it didn't explode, it worked! What the hell! Whose beacon is in danger of exploding!!!

Xier felt that it was a good thing that she did not move this thing without permission, otherwise she would not know how she died.

"Okay! The signal is connected! Ms. Xier, the Empire will be here to pick you up soon!"

The other party also breathed a sigh of relief, but suddenly realized that it was not a good idea, so he quickly returned to his original tone and spoke to Xier.

"okay……"

"That's it then, see you next time Miss Xier!"

The other party hung up the call in a hurry.

Until the call was disconnected, Xier looked at the badge in her hand with a confused look on her face. What the hell was going on… Just with such a simple sentence, someone from the Empire came? Xier felt as if she was in another world.

——————In an unknown area————————

"The plan has begun... Finally, Creator! Feel my wrath!"

The girl in military uniform used her gun as a string and danced gracefully in an empty area.

Chapter 6 Setting

Putting down the badge, Xier breathed a sigh of relief. What happened just now was too fantastical, causing Xier's brain to crash for a few minutes. Finally, after several restarts, Xier regained her sanity.

"In other words, has the huge empire mentioned by No. 196424 finally been restored?"

Xi'er thought with a serious look on her face, what exactly does the revival of the huge empire mean? Is it the beginning of a new round of war against the abyss?

"Forget it, what does this have to do with me? I'm just a poor, weak little butterfly..."

Xier spread her hands and said self-deprecatingly.

"clang clang"

There were several knocks on the door.

"Ms. Xi'er?"

The one who opened the door was the white-haired sage Meteora. She still kept a calm face and said, "Ms. Xier, our experiment has produced results."

"Oh?"

Xier looked at Meteora in surprise. So fast?

The so-called experiment was decided by Meteora, Celica and others based on the theory said by Seele. Specifically, it was to let Celica's creator, Matsubara Takashi, try to change Celica's original [settings] in order to verify whether what Junji said was true.

Because the world that Celica comes from is an animation, it is not known whether the light novel as the original work has the same ability to change the [setting]. In order to increase the success rate, Uncle Matsubara specially invited the illustrator Mari to come over.

Now is the final moment to verify whether this method can succeed.

In the living room.

Several people sat around the table in silence, and the atmosphere was a little heavy for a moment.

"Are you ready?"

Uncle Matsubara looked at Celia with a heavy look like Commander Ikari. Perhaps this was the moment when Uncle Matsubara looked the most creative.

"Why are you so serious? You are the one who wrote such a shameful line!!"

However, Celia did not appreciate this atmosphere. Instead, she punched the table, scaring Songyuan so much that he almost jumped up.

The reason why Celia was so angry was because of the plot that Uncle Matsubara created to add new settings for Celia.

"Okay, okay, Celica-chan is cute like that, isn't she?"

Illustrator Mary stood by and comforted the angry Celica.

"Humph!"

Celia turned her head away and ignored Uncle Matsubara.

She picked up a small piece of paper on the table, took a deep breath, closed her eyes and shouted to the air: "Agara... Moku... Lianmo Laisa..."

……

"Ok?"

Celia opened one eye with all her shame and looked at her raised hands. Nothing happened.

"Um...is it because you spoke too quietly?"

Uncle Songyuan said, "Look, the scene I designed is the spell that Celia casts when she rescues the children. She shouldn't be so embarrassed at that time..."

"Who do you think did this to me?"

When Celia heard what Uncle Songyuan said, she immediately became angry.

"Then do it again."

Meteora still had a blank expression on his face and was always ready to put out the fire. But why did Xier see a slight smile at the corner of her mouth?

"call……"
