Collapse Iron Live Broadcast Connects All Worlds, Scares Away Wuzhan at the Beginning

"Huh? There are such big feathers stuck in the statue, can't Liuying see them?" Denci frowned in confusion.

Pava, munching on an apple, snorted in disdain. "Denci, you're too stupid, aren't you? You need to learn more from a genius like me... Firefly can't see feathers because it lacks a star core!"

"Also, Denci..." Pava pointed at the firefly taking pictures of the stars in the sky, "...do you like this?"

Hayakawa Aki was drinking coffee beside him without looking up: "Why don't you ask him which one he doesn't like?"

"Tsk... What's so good about a weak woman like this? I can make her cry for three days with just one punch, okay?"

"No to fighting! Girlfriendship is very important!" Denci raised his head, a look of envy and jealousy on his face, "Of course a devil like you, Pava, doesn't understand. A girl like Liuying is definitely the number one on the list of 'most suitable to be a girlfriend' among so many cute girls in Tianmu!"

"Huh? But didn't you say last time that Sanyueqi was first?"

“…She, they’re tied for first place!”

"Xing jumped up and pulled, and unexpectedly pulled out a little paper bird from the statue. The bird excitedly expressed its gratitude and promised to give her a good show if she went to the big tree!"

"After uttering a lovely yet quirky cry, the angular bird flew away."

"Xing was still pondering the tree that Xiaoniao had mentioned, while Liuying, who was standing beside her, was curious about why she had suddenly jumped up. Xing realized that she seemed to be the only one who could see Xiaoniao, so she made up an excuse to fool her."

"Side by side, they walked to the street railing. Liuying gently placed her hand on it. The midnight breeze gently lifted her hair and brushed it gently across Xing's cheek. A faint fragrance seemed to linger on it, like a white rose covered in dew in a garden after rain, pure and beautiful."

"See that building in the distance?" Liuying pointed to the edge of the distant dream. A magnificent building was floating in the night sky. The dome glowed with various colors under the neon lights, like an enchanted castle in a fairy tale.

"That's the famous Grand Theatre—another key landmark of Pinoconte! Don't you think its silhouette is unique? It was once the central prison of Asdena, and it was renovated by a family in their dream, transforming it into the dazzling Pinoconte Theatre it is today."

“And at the Harmonious Music Ceremony, held once a century, family members gather in the theater to welcome the arrival of the Unison Choir (the embodiment of harmony), bringing lasting peace and happiness to Pinocchio.”

Attack on Titan.

The candlelight in the Survey Corps' office flickered, casting their shadows on the walls piled high with documents. Levi sat in a chair, his arms folded, staring intently at the opera house on the skylight, his brow furrowed.

"Could the choir's effect be similar to that of the robin? If it can soothe people's hearts... I don't think there's any need to be particularly wary," Levi said. "At least so far, what Harmony has shown is generally positive."

"Hmm..." Erwin looked away from the sky, his blue eyes appearing particularly deep in the candlelight. "It's hard to say what the effect of [Unison Choir] is, but I'm curious about one thing."

"what?"

"What is clear is that the resonance of [Harmony] can affect a person's emotions and inner heart. The [Unison Choir] can bring lasting peace and happiness to Pinocchio. So, can this be understood as... the choir creating a centuries-long resonance of harmony for the entire Pinocchio? It is precisely through this resonance that Pinocchio can maintain its enduring harmony."

"If that's the case, then why are they bringing other factions to Pinocchio? Wouldn't that interfere with their plans?" Levi took a sip of his now-cold tea, his brow furrowing even more. "...That doesn't make sense."

Erwin shook his head slightly. "I'm more inclined to believe that there's a discordant 'noise' building up inside the Pinocchio, and that this noise needs to be regularly cleared by the [Unison Choir]... just like a loose table leg needs to be regularly reinforced with nails and hammers."

"But if we expand the scope to encompass the entire galaxy... then can the other Star God factions be classified as 'noise'? Do they need a 'chorus of unison' to help them resonate and be included in the chorus of 'harmony'? I suspect... this is why the family invited the different factions here."

-

"The two of them arrived at Aideen Park, which is the theme park of Suleda and is bustling with people."

"Liuying enthusiastically introduced Suleda's 'Syrupism' to Xing, but she suddenly paused. Xing noticed that at a certain moment, Liuying's gaze became cautious, piercing her eyebrows, or perhaps somewhere behind her..."

Chapter 330: Pinocchio (XIX)

"What are you looking at?" Xing asked suddenly.

"The next moment, the girl's gentle face returned to normal. She gave Xing a perfectly composed smile."

She said stiffly, "...Without further ado, shall I show you around?"

"There was an amusement park up ahead. Liuying gave Xing a brief introduction and then helped her exchange some Aideen tokens for some fun. However, Liuying said she needed to get a couple of drinks, so Xing used up all her tokens before she returned."

""Firefly is so slow...why hasn't she come back yet?""

"Xing looked around and found Liuying at the nearest bar. She took the initiative to go over and chat with Liuying while they drank."

"…I'm truly grateful that you chose to help me. Because of this, I was able to introduce you to this paradise—a paradise that welcomed me, even though I don't belong here. I love it, too, so I want to… share it with others." Liuying looked at Xing sincerely.

"Could it be that... you really are a stowaway?"

Liuying clutched her chest nervously: "I... I have a legal identity... now..."

"After she finished speaking, her eyes glanced off into the distance again, then retracted cautiously. She unconsciously lowered her voice to let Xing get closer to her. She had a burning question to know."

"…Excuse me, are you coming to Pinocchio alone?"

-

Psychic 100%.

The air conditioner in the Linghuan Talk Room made a slight humming sound. Linghuan Xinlong crossed his legs and twirled a ballpoint pen in his hand. After seeing Liuying's question to Xing, he finally couldn't help but make a "tsk tsk tsk" sound of smacking his lips.

"So, extras." He pointed at the fireflies on the sky screen seriously, showing the expression of someone who has experienced it and is not surprised. "Such beautiful, pitiful, delicate women... are all scammers!"

"Uh...ah?" The extra didn't react for a moment and raised his head woodenly.

The dimple-faced girl floated beside him, a look of disdain on her face: "Hey, hey, Linghuan, please don't instill any dangerous and wrong ideas into the extras. Where did Liuying commit the scam? Have you ever seen a scammer who first lost 2 yuan before committing the scam?"

Ling Huan remained calm and gently waved his hand: "Haha, I've seen through her, every inch of her. This woman has been sending signals to her accomplices from the beginning - just like just now! She looked away again. She doesn't think this little trick can deceive others, right?"

"Are you suffering from paranoia? If you're sick, get treatment. Don't let it affect the extras." The dimple-faced girl rolled her eyes. "Then tell me what she's trying to trick you into doing."

"Of course it's a scam of both feelings and money." Linghuan spread his hands, looking at Xiao Jiudeng with disdain. "How could there be a beautiful girl who fell from the sky and liked you for no reason? Even in Pinocchio, such a daydream wouldn't happen. The 2 yuan was just bait, to make Xing feel guilty so that she would take the bait later!"

"Look, she's already asking if Xing came to Pinocchio alone. What does that mean? Huh?"

The extra looked down at the teacup, stunned, "Master...what do you mean?"

"That means she's already planning to cheat Xing out of her money and sex. What should she do if she finds her?" Linghuan said with a look of sorrow and regret. "Alas, Xing is still young, and she's actually falling in love with such a female con artist. She can't handle this illusory love... She should leave it to me. I'll talk to Miss Liuying and help Xing handle it!"

The girl with dimples raised her hand and slapped Linghuan on the head.

"You bastard! This is your real intention, right?!"

-

"I am. At least for now." Xing smiled slightly.

“I see… You may or may not have realized this, but I’ve been taking you on long detours to various places because…”

Liuying's eyes glared, "...because someone is following you."

"Xing was about to turn back, but Liuying stopped him immediately: "—Don't look back. I'm sure he's targeting you. He hasn't lost you since we said goodbye to Mr. Gallagher. I wondered if he was your friend, but my intuition told me he wasn't."

Liuying closed her eyes, recalling the other person's information. "He's about 1.8 meters tall, give or take two centimeters, with a sturdy physique and obvious training. His strides are long, but the sound is inaudible, and he walks very lightly. This kind of gait doesn't leave footprints..."

“… He seems to be good at fighting—the stealthy kind. He has broad hands, but his fingers are long and nimble. I imagine he’s used to using a knife. A short knife, a dagger…”

"Do you know this person? Burgundy coat, green eyes, dark blue hair..."

Liuying opened her eyes and looked behind Xing warily: "Ah...he's coming!"

"Xing turned around suddenly, just in time to see Sambo's signature profiteer smile and rubbing his hands with flies."

"Hey, isn't this my loyal customer, the Pioneer Sisters?" Sambo waved to Xing, "It's been a long time since we last met, dear!"

-

Fate.

"Wait, shouldn't this guy be in Beloberg?" Toosaka Rin's eyes widened. "Could it be that the Yarilo-VI can already perform interstellar warping and space travel?"

Saber gently put down her teacup: "Perhaps Beloberg has prospered again with the company's help? Or perhaps..." She frowned slightly, "It was the Masked Fool's colleagues who brought him to this dreamland."

Emiya Shirou scratched his head. "But, no matter what, it's quite nice to see an acquaintance here..."

Toosaka Rin suddenly noticed Archer's unusual silence. He folded his arms and said nothing, his sharp eyes always fixed on Liuying.

"Archer? What are you thinking about?" Toosaka Rin waved her hands in front of him, thinking he was in a daze.

Archer snorted softly and shook his head. "Compared to that profiteer, this little girl named Liuying is obviously more worthy of attention, isn't she?"

"She can judge a person's height, dominant hand, and even their weapon just by observing them from a distance, and her final conclusion is accurate. This kind of insight can only be possessed by someone who has crawled out of a sea of ​​blood and corpses."

"Indeed... Such precise intuition and judgment are definitely not something an ordinary person can easily achieve." Saber also nodded, agreeing with Archer's opinion, "...This girl is probably very strong... No, very strong."

-

“Um…who is this?”

"Seeing Xing act so familiar, Liuying finally let down her guard."

Upon hearing this, Sambo pouted in dissatisfaction: "Oh, Miss March, you don't remember me anymore? I helped you so much in Beloberg..."

Chapter 331: Pinocchio (Twenty)

"What are you looking at? Does March 7 look like this?" Xing said unhappily.

"…My name is Liuying, and I'm an artist from the Oriole family." Liuying briefly introduced herself.

"Oh! So that's how it is. I was wondering—it's only been a short time, but Miss March has changed so much." Sambo laughed. After introducing himself, he excitedly wanted to take the two of them to experience some "adult entertainment."

"…Adult entertainment?" Liuying was a little confused for a moment.

"I guess I was right? Come on, you two—let me, old Sambo, show you around the grown-up world!"

-

Konosuba: God's blessing on this wonderful world.

"Ohhh, is it finally coming——!"

The wooden table in the Adventurer's Guild was covered with beer foam. Kazuma suddenly slammed the table and stood up, staring at Sambo's slick smiling face in the sky.

"Adult entertainment!"

He trembled with each syllable, his fingers squeezing the wooden handle of the cup until it creaked. "This is what dreams are made of! As expected of Sambo, it's so full of life! And he even invited Xing to experience this kind of experience. He's indeed a good brother from Beloberg!"

"Ha~"

Aqua covered her mouth and suddenly let out a drawn-out sneer. Her gaze roamed over Kazuma with a hint of disdain. "You... you can only express yourself in your dreams."

"This... this is critical observation!" Kazuma wiped the beer foam from the corner of his mouth. "As the tour leader, of course I have to understand the current state of the Pinocchio entertainment industry..."

But before he could finish his words, Sangbo from Tianmu added, "Don't worry, Miss Liuying, these are definitely projects that comply with public order and good morals!"

"..."

The heated atmosphere that had just ignited in the guild instantly dropped to freezing point.

“—Damn it!” Feeling extremely sad, Kazuma slammed his fist on the table again and yelled, “Sambo, how could Xing have a friend as serious as you?! This is so disappointing!”

-

"The three of them arrived at the lower level of the Pinocchio business district, and Sambo told them their destination: 'Pippi Pippi's Salon.'"

"Sambo is a regular here. He wanted to take Xing and Liuying inside to play, but unfortunately, you need a VIP card to enter the salon. Unsurprisingly, Xing was blocked outside."

"What the hell?" Xing looked at Sambo in dissatisfaction.

"Don't panic, don't panic! Let me, old Sambo, think of a solution... Oh, I got it!" Sambo suddenly had an idea and asked the shrewd security guard to help him get a few items: "The Moment of Betrayal," "The Cloud of Doubt," and "The Enduring Hatred."

"What are these things? Sambo kept them in suspense for a while. After they brought the things back, Sambo led them to a TV and said he wanted to show them something fun."

Sambo smiled and turned his gaze towards Xing. "Say, sister, why don't you try touching it and see what happens?"

"Are you trying to hurt me?" Xing stared at him warily.

"Liuying also felt that something was fishy and was about to stop him, but Sangbo retorted, "This is a family property, what could be fishy? But it's okay if you don't want to try it. At worst, I can do it—"

"They both looked at Xing simultaneously—to be exact, three people—including the guy with the big nose and sunglasses on the screen who was shaking non-stop."

"Since there was no other choice, Xing had to touch the TV."

"In a flash of dazzling white light..."

"The star disappeared, and in its place, a cool guy wearing sunglasses appeared on the ground, only knee-high, and let out a cool "hum."

-

Game of Life.

"……what."

Inside the Elkia inn, Bai slightly opened his red eyes and let out a small exclamation.

In the sky, Q-version cartoon figures transformed from stars are pacing back and forth. They have short arms and legs and wear exaggerated sunglasses. Their movements are jerky, just like characters in an old-fashioned fighting game.

"Oh!" Sora's eyes widened in excitement. "This effect is incredible! This is completely beyond the scope of a motion-sensing game! Is he planning to transform into a character and fight? Or perhaps go on an adventure? This can't be an MMORPG, right?"
