New Eridu, by the streets of Lumina Square.
A gray-haired young man(?)—no, young woman—stood there with a somewhat blank expression.
The bustling crowd around her gradually brought her back to her senses.
She looked around, and the familiar streetscape left her stunned.
"Did I transmigrate? And into the world of Zenless Zone Zero!?"
As soon as she said that, the strange looks from the people around her made the girl feel a little embarrassed.
She hurried into an alley.
Only after sorting through all the information in her mind did the girl reveal a bewildered expression.
She lowered her head and glanced at the clothes she was wearing.
A blue training uniform, along with a pair of rather useless glasses.
"Memory integration commencing~"
Suddenly, a sentence popped into the girl's mind before she could react.
A flood of memories began pouring into her head.
If not for some mysterious force protecting her, she probably would have been overwhelmed into idiocy like a certain Herrscher of Reason.
Even so, the swelling pain that felt as though her head were about to explode still made the girl clutch her head and howl.
Seemingly unable to bear it any longer, she directly chose to fall unconscious.
Who knew how much time passed.
Only then did she wake up in a hospital bed.
She looked around, covered her forehead, and sat up from the bed.
Beside her, a blue-haired girl spoke.
"Oh, you're awake?"
Turning her head, she saw Qing Yi with her blue twin-tails, delicately sipping tea.
"...Why am I here?"
"So you don't remember. No matter. You fainted in an alley. While on patrol, I heard your mournful cries.
So I rushed over and brought you to the hospital."
Qing Yi's tone was exceptionally unhurried.
"Thank you."
"It was nothing~ Seeing that you're unharmed puts my mind at ease."
At this point, the girl had also sorted through the information that had been unlocked in her mind.
"May I ask your name?"
"...Fu Hua."
"Oh~ Peacekeeper Qing Yi."
Nodding, the girl now known as Fu Hua pondered.
"I have already settled the related expenses for you. If your body has recovered, you may leave on your own. I still have work to do, so I cannot remain long."
After finishing the tea in her hand, Qing Yi stood and prepared to leave.
At that moment, Fu Hua stopped her.
"Um, I'll pay you back for the expenses. Please leave me your contact information."
"Mm... Just come to the Public Security Bureau."
With that, Qing Yi turned and left.
Only Fu Hua remained in the hospital room.
She looked down at her fair, clean hands, still deeply shaken inside.
"I became Fu Hua... and what was that voice just now?"
Just as Fu Hua was feeling puzzled.
A panel suddenly appeared before her.
[Hello, Host. Welcome to Zenless Zone Zero.]
"Y-you, hello. May I ask, I..."
[Correct. You have been granted Fu Hua's body, as well as part of her memories and strength.]
"Then what do I need to do? Or is there some mission?"
[No. Please explore on your own. The system shop contains all of Fu Hua's forms, as well as a roulette wheel.
All may be converted into the required currency through Deni.]
"Is that so? Then where does my power come from?"
[Your power comes from the Imaginary Tree.]
Fu Hua froze in shock.
That was no small matter.
"Understood."
[Additionally, your current form is Valkyrie—Swift Phoenix.]
"Got it."
[Then, I wish you a pleasant time.]
After saying that, the voice known as the system completely vanished from Fu Hua's mind.
Yet the panel remained.
After getting out of bed, she lowered her head and looked at the blue training uniform she wore.
She put on the red round-framed glasses from the bedside table.
Then she slowly walked to the window.
Gazing at the bustling cityscape, Fu Hua felt slightly calmer inside.
"Since that's the case, I'll take things one step at a time. First, I need to deal with Deni."
Thinking that, Fu Hua opened the System Backpack.
She unexpectedly found two items.
"What are these..."
When she opened them, they turned out to be a bag of Deni and a key card.
The amount of Deni looked like it could support her for roughly a month.
"I'll buy a phone first, then pay Qing Yi back. The rest should last another half month.
Then I'll go take a look at this home first."
After straightening her clothes, Fu Hua stepped out of the hospital.
She bought a phone, then followed the information on the key to find the place where she lived.
Fu Hua's eyes widened slightly.
"I never expected it to be a place in the city center. This... this can't be cheap.
If I sold it, I could probably make a fortune."
"Still, I'm unfamiliar with this place for now, so I should stay here first.
I can think about that when I can't afford to eat."
As she thought, Fu Hua had already entered the building.
She arrived at the door to Unit 603 on the sixth floor and stopped.
A full-floor apartment with one unit per level was quite nice.
At the very least, it would be quiet.
After swiping the card, she pushed open the front door.
The interior layout was simple and entirely devoid of life, but Fu Hua did not mind.
"I'll buy some furniture first, then get something to eat."
With that, she went to a nearby supermarket and bought a light-blue bed and bedding.
Then, as if possessed, she also bought a jar.
After returning home, she looked at the steamed buns and pickles she had unconsciously picked up, as well as the vegetables she planned to preserve.
Fu Hua was a little dumbfounded.
"Strange. Why did I instinctively want to pickle Spring Never Ages?"
"Tch, I even want something better to eat... Well, I bought it already, so I'll just make do."
Shaking her head, Fu Hua made the bed in the master bedroom before sitting at the dining table.
With a calm expression, she began eating, taking a bite of steamed bun followed by a bite of pickle.
"Maybe I should find a job. Take on some commissions from the Inter-Knot."
As for entering Hollows, Fu Hua felt that this little erosion was as good as nothing to her.
Even living in a Hollow would not be a problem for her.
"Mm, I'll sleep first, then go to the Public Security Bureau and pay her back."
Thinking that, Fu Hua entered the bedroom and looked at herself in the wardrobe mirror.
She frowned and examined herself.
"Logically speaking, the world I'm in is one favored by the Great Thunderclap Temple.
From what I played in my previous life, I know that the women here are all quite powerful."
"Then could I also..."
She picked up a measuring tape and eagerly took some measurements.
The scene shifted.
Inside the bedroom.
A gray-haired girl knelt on the floor.
Her face was livid.
Her body trembled.
"W-why... With my height and figure, even if I didn't have a D, I should at least have a C."
"Why am I still flat?"
"Haha, hahaha... Since things have come to this, I should sleep."
Utterly dejected, Fu Hua flopped onto the bed and sorrowfully entered dreamland.
The next morning.
As sunlight spilled onto the bed in the bedroom.
Fu Hua slowly opened her eyes.
The light, refreshed feeling made her very comfortable.
After sufficient rest, her condition had returned to its best.
Her aura also settled.
She changed into her blue training uniform and put on her wrist guards.
After rolling her shoulders, she went to wash up.
Putting on her unfashionable red round glasses, Fu Hua followed the navigation on her phone.
She headed for the Public Security Bureau.
The moment she entered the Public Security Bureau's front doors.
Fu Hua saw a figure with blue twin-tails, along with Zhu Yuan beside her, whose figure was rather impressive.
The two were standing before the notice board, apparently talking.
After hesitating for a moment, Fu Hua walked over.
"Excuse me, do you two have time right now?"
Her indifferent words made Qing Yi and Zhu Yuan turn around.
"Oh~ It's you. How are you feeling? Is your body all right?"
"Passable."
"Senior, who is this?"
"She is the little girl I rescued yesterday. I saw her crying out in an alley, so she likely had some sudden illness."
"No, my cultivation was merely obstructed, and for a moment, my inner demon got the better of me."
"I see. Then you came here to?"
Seeing that the two little adults spoke so maturely, Zhu Yuan was momentarily at a loss.
"To repay the money..."
