Hands clasped in prayer.
[--The girl is praying--]
A multicolored shooting star streaked past Su Youzi.
An excited heart, trembling hands. The girl was so thrilled that she nearly bounced straight off the bed.
See—
What did I say?
What did I say!!!
I'm an incredibly lucky person, right?
The unlucky player's tears nearly spilled from the corners of her eyes.
She knew it. After transmigrating into Butter World, there was no way she could still be unlucky.
Ah, no...
"I'm an incredibly lucky person—"
"--I'm an incredibly lucky person."
That was right. It was exactly like this.
This time... there was absolutely no way she could crash!
Trembling, Su Youzi reached toward the multicolored shooting star before her.
The next second, she felt her consciousness spread out in an instant. It passed through the school buildings, and the entire Shiritsu Megumi Garden Academy... No, the buildings and terrain of almost the entire Guangzheng District appeared before her as dark-colored blocks.
Su Youzi had once heard a top-tier Mental Ability User say that, in their eyes, everything around them was exposed without exception.
At the same time... inside the Board of Directors office of Shiritsu Megumi Garden Academy, a girl who had been sunbathing with her legs propped high on the desk suddenly knitted her brows. She lowered her legs, sat upright, and turned her head to look at the sky outside the window.
Elsewhere in the school buildings.
The blonde girl whom Saotome Yukina called Mira also raised her head and looked toward the sky outside the window.
But none of that had anything to do with Su Youzi at the moment.
In her eyes, points of light suddenly lit up across the dark world.
Gray-white... green... blue... purple...
And then there was the most dazzling one, a splendid halo shining with multicolored radiance over the distant earth.
Although she really wanted to reach straight for that multicolored halo,
it was obvious that... the game did not allow it.
The gray-white radiance gradually took shape before Su Youzi.
[ Ding! ] [Weapon: Training Kodachi] [☆]
Seeing that one-star weapon, the corner of Su Youzi's eye twitched.
"Wait!"
"Wait!??"
"Why are weapons in the gacha pool?"
"Who did this polluted-pool mechanic learn from, anyway!!!"
Su Youzi could almost see the scene of her first six-star after transmigrating being a weapon or an outfit instead of a character operator.
But... it seemed not too bad?
If it was an outfit or weapon, it could indeed effectively improve her combat power in the short term.
The tendrils of her thoughts spread across the pitch-black surface of the buildings, and Su Youzi's consciousness instantly arrived at the next location.
[Ding ding ding ding!!!] [This time, it was a four-star operator or weapon.] [The window slowly opened.] [An alluring, beautiful mature woman in a black camisole dress appeared in Su Youzi's field of vision.] [The mature woman had a slender yet voluptuous figure, and her face carried the mature, gentle smile characteristic of an older big sister.] [Her brown hair had been tied into a rather dangerous braid, which hung over her chest from her neck.]
The woman raised her head to gaze at the sky, as though she were making eye contact with Su Youzi.
[Operator: Unohana Chiyo] [☆☆☆☆] [Level.22—Metal Manipulation Ability User] [Talent: Unrestrained Madness] [Talent: Death Warrior] [The physical education teacher of Shiritsu Megumi Garden Academy, seemingly hiding an unrestrained heart beneath her mature beauty.] [Initial Affection: 27 (Friendly)]
"U-Unohana-sensei!?" Su Youzi had never imagined that, apart from Saotome Yukina, the first operator she drew would actually be the school's physical education teacher.
However... Su Youzi looked at Unohana Chiyo's talents.
[Unrestrained Madness], [Death Warrior]. They sounded just like talents for a berserker.
They formed a stark contrast with the gentle older sister in Su Youzi's impression, the one with beautiful peach-blossom eyes who spoke slowly, always with a smile in her voice.
"That really is... hard to imagine."
The tendrils of her thoughts continued spreading through the dark world.
[Ding ding!!!] [Weapon: Fine Crowbar.] [☆☆] [...] [Ding ding ding!!!] [Weapon: Girl's Umbrella.] [☆☆☆] [...] [Ding!] [Operator: Yamabuki Nanako] [☆]
She looked like a primary school student from a nearby elementary school.
Watching the little girl standing at the street corner, waiting for the traffic light and gazing up at the sky with her tiny face, Su Youzi could only say... this was criminal.
This was truly criminal.
In the game, Su Youzi would not even spare a glance at one-, two-, three-, or four-star characters and operators.
Only characters with six stars or more were worth raising.
Among them, only the ones who were attractive or hit Su Youzi's XP system deserved special treatment.
She repeatedly criticized them again and again.
[Ding ding!] [Operator: POI] [☆☆]
A girl struck a dangerous pose, looking as though she might fall over the next second.
Aside from Unohana Chiyo, there were hardly any blue, three-star lights among the remaining clusters.
It could be said that this was extremely unlucky.
But... Su Youzi was not defeated by it.
On the contrary—
Watching the multicolored halo draw closer and closer, Su Youzi felt that she could even hear the accelerating thump, thump, thump, thump of her heart in her chest.
"Inside a building."
Based on her earlier experience with Unohana Chiyo,
there was a high probability... that it was an operator.
But... was it just her imagination?
Su Youzi felt that the exterior of that building looked somehow a little familiar.
[Ding ding ding ding ding ding!!!]
The multicolored radiance spread out.
On the second floor of the building, the sliding door to the balcony was slowly pulled open.
Abruptly—
An extremely ominous feeling suddenly rose in Su Youzi's heart.
"Wait!!!"
"Wait a second, hey!!!"
A pair of cold, almost inorganic crimson eyes opened. The girl gazed up at the sky, as if she were making eye contact with Su Youzi.
The character illustration froze.
The delicate girl in a dark red evening gown gazed up at the sky, her expression cold and her features exquisite.
A head of black hair fell loosely down her back to her waist.
Because of the angle at which she raised her head,
the girl's fair, slender neck revealed an exceptionally graceful and alluring curve.
The only flaw was probably the girl's figure.
It was probably... not fundamentally different from Yamabuki Nanako's. Once she lowered her head, one could see straight to the end.
[Ding ding ding ding ding ding!!!] [Operator: Soga Toyura] [☆☆☆☆☆☆] [Level.39—Mind Control Ability User] [Talent: ▇▇▇] [Talent: ▇▇▇] [Innate Ability: ▇▇▇] [Affection: 99 (Adoring)]
The girl gazed up at the sky, the jelly-like, crystalline, plump corners of her lips curling upward.
"Good afternoon—"
"My dear..."
"Youzi."
[Ding—] [Congratulations! You have unlocked the achievement: First Top-Tier Operator.]
