Star Rail: Can't I Just Peacefully Do Commissions? Chapter 31

Crossing the Aurora Curtain, they arrived in a completely unfamiliar area. The old Clan Head of the Uzumaki immediately understood that they had encountered Space-Time Ninjutsu, and his assessment of the opponent's strength grew even more certain.

When Shirou Emiya commanded the four Creation Engines in the distance to rise, and looked at the super-giant mechs that seemed to pierce straight into the clouds, the old Uzumaki Clan Head had only one thought in his mind...

"The era of ninjas is over... Next, it's the era of giant gods!"

Chapter 064: I need to find a way to take a beautiful "ahoge" picture for Lady Sparkle. (1/5)

The emotional value had accumulated to around 5000 points.

The point earnings during this period had also reached about 1300.

Five draws from the friendship banner and one ten-pull from the rate-up banner.

"That's about enough, no need to hoard forever."

The points could be saved, but the emotional value could be used for a round of exciting draws. After getting some mystical good luck assistance from March 7th, Shirou Emiya also remembered that Elysia seemed to be a character with quite good luck.

Thus, he went to Elysia and Eden to get some blessings, and then...

He went all out with the draws.

Five ten-pulls without any hesitation, choosing to draw continuously. In the end, what appeared before Mr. Emiya was a pile of blue and white miscellaneous items, mixed with about seven purple rewards.

Among the white rewards were some firearms, hand cannons, and swords. There were also a few blueprints. A quick glance revealed that they were mostly weapons and blueprints for certain equipment, and even two recipe cards.

"Rising Dragon Dumplings," "Flame Dumplings."

"Recipes from Chūka Ichiban!, nice."

There were about twelve blue rewards. Among them, he even saw a Pom-Pom from Mei's original world, along with two Pokémon and two Pals...

"A pet section?"

He had also drawn a Pokémon before, an Eevee, which he left at his old home in Fuyuki with Miyu.

The two he drew now were a Meowstic and a Dedenne.

These two wouldn't be necessary as attackers, they could just be used as cute companions.

Of course, the Cat and Mouse team was a mystical thing, not to be underestimated.

The remaining blue rewards included some card rewards and three blueprint rewards.

As for the blueprints, they were the λ-driver system and the Drift System, respectively from Full Metal Panic! and Pacific Rim.

The former could convert thoughts into actual physical impact energy, while the latter could establish a multi-person neural bridge, allowing two or more people to synchronize their nerves and achieve unity of intent.

Both of these were quite interesting. Mr. Emiya even wanted to install one directly into the Creation Engine, Alahato, and the Titan Mech.

The last blueprint was another recipe card from the Chūka Ichiban! world. This time, however, he wasn't just taking from Liu Maoxing, but from Master Chef Logan's masterpiece, "Four Gods Seafood Eight Treasures Soul-镇魂 Buns."

"First dumplings, then buns... a collection of pastries."

However, after inheriting Shirou Emiya's cooking memories, Shirou himself had developed a greater interest in cooking. He also had the idea of personally making these dishes.

Excluding the blueprint rewards and living creature rewards, there were three skill point cards and two weapons left.

"Three proficiency cards, I'll put them directly into 'Nen'."

"Wind Spear and Ritual Bow... a bit of a waste, but better than nothing."

The blue and white rewards weren't particularly disappointing; in fact, there were some pleasant surprises. The main focus should be on the SR purple rewards.

"Knights of Valour, Zhang Jue's Headband... this counts as a purple reward?"

"Devil Fruit, Paramecia - Age-Age Fruit? This seems pretty good?"

"Hulkbuster Armor, nanite version... useless, I'm not fighting Hulk."

"Desperate Potion, give it to Mei for research."

Super Strength Eruption [Balzac], even trash like Teigu is included? Fine, this is barely a usable item.

Seeing the string of trash items produced, Shirou's face couldn't help but darken. The downside of mixed gacha pools was that items of different worldviews and power levels were mixed together, which was simply outrageous.

Teigu, when he was still at his old home in Fuyuki, had some value. Now that he was in the Star Rail setting, it basically only served the purpose of filling projection samples.

"However, this thing seems to be able to trigger 100% of a person's potential? Creating more of them might be somewhat useful."

Thinking of this, Shirou's expression slightly eased. Other items, if they could be analyzed, also seemed to have some use. For example, the Desperate Potion not only gave the user a high-temperature physique and the ability to breathe fire, but more importantly, it also granted high-intensity recovery abilities and even immortality.

"Three left, I've got to get some good stuff for my brother."

His gaze fell upon the last three draw rewards. After scanning them, his eyes finally lit up.

"Tiger Talisman, good stuff, even the Aeon of Balance would give it a thumbs-up."

"Black Barrel (Imitation), they even gave me a Black Gun Heavenly Longevity? Now I'm really not at a loss."

"Moody Blues... Abbacchio's Stand ability. With this, my brother can directly join the Memory of the Past, right?"

The Tiger Talisman, from Jackie Chan Adventures, possessed Yin and Yang energy, capable of balancing conflicting powers and even separating a person's dark and light sides into two independent personalities.

Black Barrel, Black Gun Heavenly Longevity, is from the Nasuverse. It is one of the world-destroying weapons created by Atlas Academy. Of course, this is merely an imitation. The conditions for using the genuine Black Gun are quite troublesome, limited to individuals who have absorbed sin. The more sin present in their bodies, the more terrifying the damage caused. Theoretically, it has the possibility of killing Uo in one shot.

However, this imitation was created by Garfiel. It does not target individuals who have absorbed sin, but rather targets their 'lifespan' limit. After determining their existence specifications, it produces targeted ammunition, and then drives 'Mana,' 'physical strength,' and 'Power of Destiny' to perform a conceptual judgment-based shooting action on the target.

The principle behind its operation is something that people outside Atlas Academy cannot fully comprehend. However, the 'lifespan' targeted by this weapon includes not only the lifespan limit of living beings but also the existence duration of inorganic matter. The fired ammunition points to the target's final moment of death, the "End of the World Bullet."

When Little Eggplant used this weapon, she even shot down multiple Machine Gods. Machine Gods like Demeter and Zeus were all brought down by this thing. The Olympus Lostbelt truly can't be played without Little Eggplant and Garfiel.

As for the final Moody Blues, it originates from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure and belongs to Leone Abbacchio. It possesses the ability to unconditionally rewind the actions of a specific person in the past. This rewind ability can even span time in units of "years." If placed in the setting of a famous detective, it's estimated that all those famous detectives would be out of a job.

Moreover, this ability to read and rewind past memories would be quite pleasing to those who remember...

Most importantly, once a general direction is determined, this rewind ability can also be used to simultaneously locate someone's current position.

Although its strength isn't much, its functionality isn't bad. And in a sense, it's also a Stand belonging to the time-type. If it could be evolved with another Insect Arrow.

It might even be able to develop abilities that interfere with past timelines or directly travel to the past.

"It's not a total loss, it's alright. There weren't any big prizes in the gacha pool anyway, so getting these is pretty good."

Besides, they were about to head to Xianzhou. With the Age-Age Fruit, the Tiger Talisman, and the Black Gun Heavenly Longevity... Mr. Emiya didn't know how he could possibly mess up there. If that little devil girl Sparkle caused trouble again...

Then this time, it wouldn't just be a startled photograph.

It would be... a fertilized Ahoge face.

Chapter 065: Welt: Damn it, there's still a traitor chasing me!

"I've found reinforcements."

"Really? Elder Brother!"

"Although there are only ten of them."

"...That's too few people, not very useful, Clan Head."

"But they have ninjas equivalent to Hashirama Senju."

"You did great, Elder Brother!"

"It's just that he doesn't plan to act personally."

"Clan Head, don't be embarrassed at a time like this. Fine, it's time for me to unleash my 'Fierce Tiger Descending the Mountain' style, which I've cultivated for many years~"

"But they sold us super-ninja tools that are four hundred meters tall and can block A-rank ninjutsu."

"I will lead the charge! Elder Brother!"

"Me too!"

After relocating the Creation Engine and the temporary base to the Land of Whirlpools, upon seeing the four Creation Engines, the Old Men of Whirlpools tearfully applied to the old Clan Head, saying that their lives were born into this world to become pilots of such ninja tools.

Men can never refuse such big, hard, cool, and somewhat anthropomorphic mechanical toys.

Old Man Welt couldn't refuse, and neither could the Old Men of Whirlpools.

Coincidentally, originally, they would have had to modify the drive for the ninja world to use these giant mechs. Shirou Emiya had a sudden idea and decided to add the λ-driver system and Drift System to the Creation Engines, allowing the Old Men of Whirlpools to achieve neural synchronization and become pilots, fulfilling their wish to pilot mechas.

Anyone who likes piloting mechas can't be a bad person!

Right, Char?

In addition, to distinguish the Creation Engines that were prepared for the Old Men, Shirou thoughtfully gave them new paint jobs. The Old Men named these two super-large mechas Indra and Asura. They didn't know these were the ancestors of the Uchiha and Senju clans; they just happened to find these names in ancient texts and thought they sounded cool.

"Kumogakure? Kirigakure? I see them as nothing more than men carrying stakes to their own graves."

"Ahead of us, there is no enemy!"

"These two ninja villages are doomed!"

"Ninjas? How dare they defy me, who possesses the power of Indra and Asura!"

"Susanoo? What kind of punk dares to claim the power of the third god? Dare to accept my Asura's Wrath?!"

"Powerful! Invincible! The Strongest! Who else in the ninja world can stop me! Damn it! What else can stop me!"

The Whirlpool clan seems to have a lot of strange things mixed into their genes: the madness of the Uchiha, the arrogance of the Senju, even some of the lunacy of the Kaguya clan and the inherent self-importance of the Hyuga family...

In short, after these two mechas were handed over to the Old Men of Whirlpools, the entire clan, which had previously been considering sending their bloodline members to Konoha for refuge, completely changed their pessimistic outlook. The entire clan was now striving to pass the neural synchronization test as quickly as possible.

Ninja in the ninja world deliberately cultivate their mental state. However, making them open up to each other for neural synchronization was still a bit difficult.

Especially for the younger generation, they were more prone to embarrassment and were wary of their teammates seeing their hidden inner dark histories.

But it was different for the Old Men. After decades of getting along, they knew exactly how long it had been since certain parts had been used. If they could openly discuss that, what else was there to be ashamed of?

The Old Men achieved neural synchronization at an astonishing speed. In just three days, the first team was formed, and the pilot of the Asura Giant God was determined to be the old Clan Head and his three younger brothers. As soon as this news broke, the other Old Men became even more competitive, accelerating their efforts to improve their neural synchronization rates. The younger generation, on the other hand, went red-eyed, forcibly discarding their shame, and finally, at the last moment, a group of young people completed their neural synchronization.

When switching to Chakra energy supply, the primary consideration for each team's piloting condition was whether their total Chakra volume met the requirements. If other ninja clans wanted to use these things, it might require ten or even a hundred people.

But the Whirlpool family's anomalies, if they didn't have much else, their Chakra was calculated by the ton. The total Chakra of the four Old Men in the older generation even exceeded the standard by a lot. However, since the four Old Men grew up together, they didn't intend to leave anyone out of the good opportunity to pilot mechas, so all four of them underwent neural synchronization together, and they actually succeeded.

The younger generation of Whirlpool ninjas outnumbered the Old Men, reaching seven people. They also grew up together and were the type of people who were open and honest with each other. Most importantly...

These seven people were all single and had no partners, which was hilarious... What privacy could they possibly have? They wouldn't even feel ashamed doing things like self-pleasure in front of each other.

The pilots for the two Creation Engines were selected and were now undergoing intense training. Shirou and the others had also completely settled down in the Land of Whirlpools. Due to time constraints, the people from the Honkai Impact setting were now taking turns coming over to play. Bronya from Belobog had also returned to hand over her current work.

The matters on the ninja world side have initially concluded, and Shirou Emiya felt it was time to call over the two old men on the train. The crucial thing was that he also had two commissions to deliver.

Thus, after returning to Belobog once more, Shirou Emiya flew his aircraft directly back to the train. Upon seeing Shirou Emiya return, Himeko greeted him enthusiastically, "The spatial stability readings have returned to normal, and Pomeranian is currently recalibrating the Star Rail. In a few more days, we'll be able to depart Jarilo-VI at any time. You've done a great job on this Trailblaze Journey."

... ...

"Dan Heng has already explained your actions on Jarilo-VI to us. Although the Astral Express, as travelers, shouldn't really have a stance... judging purely from a personal perspective, you did a beautiful job this time."

You flatter me, Himeko-nee. Your requested goods have been collected by your brother.

"Oh? Then why don't you show me the quality?"

Overhearing their conversation, the old man Welt couldn't help but twitch his brow. He knew these two were deliberately messing with him, "This photo is nice. Mmm, mmm, mmm, her pitiable, lovely appearance. This girl is truly endearing. Her name is Seele, right?"

"Pfft!!"

The old man had just taken a sip of his coffee. The moment he heard the name, he couldn't stay seated. Just as he stood up, preparing to walk towards Himeko to see what was happening, he then heard Himeko speak again, "This girl's appearance is also quite good. Grey curly hair in a ponytail, and a bit of a cool, cute vibe. Hmm, Bronya? Her name sounds lovely too. I'd like to meet her sometime."

Oh no!

The old man felt some past shadow rushing towards him fiercely. He was even hesitating whether to go forward and ask about the situation when another name, which made him want to conjure a Star of Eden on the spot, entered his ears, "Is this her mother? Hmm, she's also a great beauty. The Supreme Guardian, Cocolia..."
