Xingtie: Can’t you just let me focus on completing the commissions?

"If the Emperor's Bow had arrived earlier, the villains and ghosts would have scattered and fled. However, after the Emperor's Bow departs, those villains may return with renewed force."

"Now that Generals Ji and Zhuyuan have personally come to Luofu, and with this surprise force arriving, we might consider capturing a certain Extinction Lord alive."

"The Great Lord of Annihilation? Jing Yuan, just how many things are you hiding from me?!"

“Fu Qing, I only just found out myself. The source of the information is that nameless guest you met earlier.”

Fu Taibu's expression instantly became extremely solemn.

"This person has never set foot on the Immortal Ship, yet knows all sorts of inside details. Could it be that he possesses a divination method far superior to mine?"

"It doesn't seem like divination. In my opinion, it's more like he's memorized intelligence. Although I don't know the source of this intelligence, my brother here doesn't seem to have any ill intentions towards Luofu at the moment."

“Jingyuan, when did you become so naive? Even if we obtain that method, we must not underestimate that nameless guest. We must find a way to get information from him about the secrets of Luofu.”

"...Fu Qing, Fu Qing, when will you improve your intolerant nature? When governing a region and mediating between the parties, you must not act on your own impulses like this. If you offend him, and he abandons the alliance with Luofu and sides with others, what will we do then?"

“Jingyuan, I can’t learn your ways, nor do I want to. You’ve ruled Luofu for seven hundred years, making great contributions. People call you the Divine Strategy General, and some call you the ‘Blind General.’ Do you really think I don’t know the other meaning behind ‘Blind General’? You also have an attitude of letting certain things happen before dealing with them…”

"That's what happened with the Dan Ding Si back then. You knew there was more to Yun Hua's story than met the eye, yet you forced Yun Hua and Dan Zhu to leave Luo Fu."

“I do not wish to mention the matter of Yunhua now, but Fu Qing... as the governor of a region, the heavy burden of hundreds of billions of people rests on your shoulders. I, Jing Yuan, am not afraid of death, nor am I afraid of being condemned by thousands of people after my death.”

...... ...... ....

"In my youth, I was a Cloud Cavalry Guard. During a martial arts ceremony, a boxer from a remote planet, driven by sheer courage, came to the Celestial Ship. He was seeking help for his homeland. I became close friends with him and reported his homeland's situation to General Teng Xiao. But alas, at that time..."

Jing Yuan closed his eyes, a helpless, bitter smile etched on his face.

"In my life, I was powerless to help my dear friend save our homeland, and powerless to stop my master from falling into demonic ways... In the past, the Five Valiant Warriors of the Clouds were Dragon Lord Danfeng, Sword Master Jingliu, Hundred-Healing Yingxing, and Heavenly Skill Baiheng... I, Jingyuan, was just a lucky one who joined them. I never thought that one day, all four of them would suddenly vanish into thin air, leaving me, a Cloud Cavalry Valiant Guard who was not skilled in martial arts and only good at some strategy."

“Fu Qing, I never imagined I would become this so-called Divine Strategy General when I was young. It was only because my master taught me that I joined the Cloud Cavalry to repay his kindness. I once thought that after leaving the Cloud Cavalry, I would become a patrolling knight-errant, which would be a way to make the most of my swordsmanship… Unfortunately, things don’t always go as planned. Now, what I long for is to never wield my sword again… because I know that if I were to wield my sword again, Luo Fu… would probably have no other choice.”

"If one day you were to sit in my position, I truly hope you could sweep away all the deep-seated problems left behind by my incompetence and create a more prosperous and thriving Luofu. At that time... even if I, Jing Yuan, am only a subordinate of the Ten Kings..."

"Jing Yuan!"

"Ok?"

"After you practice that method, based on the age at which you were possessed by demonic spirits, you should be able to live for at least another two or three hundred years. When are you talking about 'one day'?"

"...We'll wait until Fu Qing is a bit more mature."

"You used the same excuse two hundred years ago! Jingyuan, you scoundrel, are you planning to wait until I too am afflicted by demonic possession before abdicating?!" (Seven)

Chapter 096: What a coincidence, my wife's name is also Alicia. (3/5)

"My emotional value has accumulated to almost 1000 points again."

"I have about 18 draws left... I still don't have enough commissions."

"I need to do something, earn some points, and get some featured banners to play around with."

After settling in on the fairy ship, the group contacted Himeko. The navigator, naturally, didn't intend to stay on the train either, so she also came to the hotel to join the group.

As for Danheng

It seems I still can't get over that psychological hurdle.

After all, he was a heinous criminal who had committed the ten heinous crimes and was personally expelled from Luofu.

Furthermore, haunted by Danfeng's memories, he always felt guilty towards Luofu and ashamed to board the immortal ship.

So, he simply buried his head in the sand like an ostrich.

Emiya couldn't comment on his mentality, but he figured he could probably get a quest by helping the cold-faced little blue dragon reconcile with Luo Fu. Based on Emiya's understanding of the character, a limited-time character pool would likely be released along with it.

“The pools for characters like Uchiha Madara, Mebius, Dan Heng, Jing Yuan, and Fu Xuan are the most likely to trigger.”

"I'll accumulate some more points and then go and motivate these guys to complete their missions. These silent types, can't they see that I really need your help? Do you think I, the chivalrous and public-spirited Emiya, am not worth your pleas for help?"

Mr. Emiya felt a little uneasy. Hadn't he made it obvious enough usually? I was almost ready to just say, "You fucking hand over all the requests!"

"Does this mean I have to go through several periods of unconsciousness like the blond-haired cameraman?"

The blond guy in Teyvat has almost endless quests to complete. If quests like the Forest Book or Desert Book also rewarded him, he would definitely kick the blond guy aside.

"Speaking of which, Genshin Impact and Fullmetal Alchemist are almost finished solidifying as well."

He raised his hand and summoned the Aurora Veil. Currently, the analysis progress of this thing is only about 1.5%. It's unknown when the analysis will be properly completed and the replica will be ready. However, there are quite a few coordinates stored in the Aurora Veil.

Mr. Emiya simply passed over those high school students on the spring set who were enjoying their youth and romance.

When people's levels of existence are not on the same level, he is afraid that he will become the locomotive and smash them to pieces.

"Type-Moon, Prisma Illya world".

"Honkai Impact, Star Iron World".

"Honkai Impact 3, Pre-Civilization Timeline".

"Hokage..."

"Fullmetal Alchemist, the coordinates have been solidified. Those two little brothers seem to be very wary of me."

Mr. Emiya couldn't help but rub his nose. How could a public-spirited and righteous young man from Fuyuki City be rejected by the Elric brothers, a pair of pure good-natured people? Shouldn't he be like Jing Yuanyuan, wanting to become sworn brothers with him the moment he saw him?

"I don't know how far the plot has progressed, let's go and take a look first."

Having already decided to form an alliance with Jingyuan, Emiya naturally had no intention of making any rash moves. The disguised Huanlong, now acting as Tingyun, wouldn't easily attack Sanyueqi and Axing, as that wouldn't align with her destructive aesthetics. She would continue to stall until Jingyuan responded…

"Walter, there's a new map. Want to go check it out?"

"Never mind, you go ahead. I'm planning to go out and take a look around too."

"What are you looking at? Checking if there are any new blonde cosmic merchants, right?"

Upon hearing this, Walter sneered and said nothing more. Otto was Walter's half-brother, and he actually had the opportunity to meet his "parallel" in another dimension. If he didn't prepare a few black holes to test its character, how could he feel at ease breathing the same air under the same blue sky as this thing that seemed to be an Otto beast?

"Alright, then I'll go by myself."

Drawing back the aurora curtain, Emiya slipped inside and immediately landed in an office. He even instantly changed his attire, donning what appeared to be a military uniform.

"An officer?"

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the table and saw his identification and even his resume laid out there. The language proficiency feature included with the landing benefits allowed him to confirm his current information.

"Amestoris, a second lieutenant in the Central Military Command, is not bad. He's at least much better than the average ninja in the world."

Such a dream start as landing in the Star Iron World and joining the Star Core Hunters is ultimately rare. He pushed open the office door and officially entered the building. Some people looked at him, this unfamiliar lieutenant, with slight curiosity, but seemingly limited by their rank, they did not take the initiative to come forward and talk to him.

After wandering around the building for a while, Emiya finally gained a clearer understanding of his own identity.

"The intelligence department?"

"Seems pretty good? I just wonder what time of day it is..."

After wandering around for a while, a pretty girl with freckles and short, flaxen hair approached him.

"Lieutenant Shirou Emiya, Lieutenant Colonel Hughes wants you to go to his office."

Hughes?

This name sounds familiar.

"That show-off who's obsessed with his daughter, right? The incompetent colonel's best friend?"

I do have some impression of them. Tragic supporting characters often leave a deeper impression, such as Lieutenant Colonel Hughes, Nina the little girl who was turned into a chimera, Nanachi and Mitty from the Abyss, and Borus and Chelsea from Akame ga Kill!

Within a worldview that inherently possesses a dark undertone, the experiences of these characters often appear more extreme and tragic.

He was forcibly shot and killed by the android disguised as his wife.

Unaware and ignorant children are used as sacrifices by their beastly fathers to maintain their position.

A loyal minister like Borus, who sacrificed himself for his country, had his wife and daughters violated by a scoundrel...

"Therefore, this kind of serious, dark and cruel worldview always has too many plots that make people unhappy."

He was only occasionally relieved that he hadn't ended up in a world like the Black Bomb that would make him feel physically uncomfortable; otherwise, he probably wouldn't have been able to resist going on a killing spree.

Following behind the freckled girl, they arrived at Lieutenant Colonel Hughes's office. There was no one else in the office except for Lieutenant Colonel Hughes. After Emiya entered the room, the lieutenant colonel gestured for the freckled girl to leave.

After the freckled girl left, leaving only Emiya and the lieutenant colonel in the room, the lieutenant colonel stared intently at him for a long time, then suddenly his expression hardened, and he said in a deep voice,

"Lieutenant Shirou Emiya, on behalf of the Central Military Headquarters, I welcome you to the Third Intelligence Division. From today onwards, you will be an intelligence officer directly under my command. Today is your first day officially joining the Third Division, and as per protocol, there are some things I must inform you in advance."

"The most forbidden taboo in the Third Intelligence Division..."

"That is... absolutely not..."

"Try to steal the world's cutest Alicia from me."

"...Lieutenant Colonel, actually my wife's name is also Alicia."

"It's decided. You can go to another department. I'll personally write a letter of recommendation for you."

"But I do think Alicia is the cutest girl."

"Very good. From today onwards, you will be my most trusted confidant."

Chapter 097: I'm in a difficult position because you won't cooperate with me properly.

Mas Hughes.

Although he is a very ordinary supporting character in Fullmetal Alchemist, he is the first person to uncover the deep darkness of this country, possessing a remarkably keen ability to capture information and make connections.

At just over thirty years old, he was neither a state alchemist nor from a noble family. The fact that he, a commoner, could reach his current position shows that he was exceptionally capable.

and so……

“Lieutenant Colonel Mas Hughes, I am not from your country.”

"Judging from the name, it sounds like a minority group from Singapore?"

"Strictly speaking, I'm not even a native of the new country, but a person from another world."

Different world?

The lieutenant colonel's expression stiffened for a moment, then he looked up in astonishment at the young man with short, orange-red hair before him.

"...That's it, right? Adding some settings for yourself, the otherworldly setting seems a bit outdated, Lieutenant Emiya."

"Forget it, it's better to let you see some things more intuitively."

As he spoke, he suddenly stretched out his hand to the right, and dozens of golden chains appeared without warning, bursting out of the window. Immediately afterwards, a gloomy curse came from outside the window.

"Damn it, this kid's serious!"

"if not?"

Emiya chuckled, and then golden chains swiftly locked the body of someone outside the window, dragging them back into the office. Hughes, witnessing this sudden series of events, became extremely wary, his gaze darting between Emiya and the bound black-haired youth.

“Homunculus, Envy (jealousy), it seems like a good idea to take you back to Möbius as material.”

"You bastard... how dare you treat me like this!"

The black-haired youth let out a ferocious growl, his emotions appearing unusually unstable.

“Lieutenant Colonel Mas, if you want to understand the true darkness of this country, take this thing.”

He retrieved a cell phone from the warehouse and handed it to the lieutenant colonel. Since the Elric brothers weren't cooperating, he had no intention of lingering with them. In this world, choosing other, more rational collaborators was more in line with his character.

“I am very interested in your country’s alchemy. Call Roy Mustang over to talk to me. I originally planned to cooperate with the Elric brothers, but unfortunately, they are very wary of me.”

...I think they did the right thing.

Although Hughes didn't speak, his eyes conveyed the same meaning. Emiya chuckled, stepping on Envy's head and repeatedly grinding his foot against it.

"This thing is one of the seven emotions that were separated from a certain monster. Do you know why they, who shouldn't have had a physical form, possess physiological characteristics that are no different from humans?"

"What do you want to say?"

"A panacea, the fifth element that can replace all costs—are you familiar with this gem that is highly revered in many alchemical philosophies?"

"The Philosopher's Stone."

"Indeed, this guy must have at least dozens or even hundreds of them inside him, which makes him an artificial human. Any other creature would probably swell up and die."
