HSR- Multiversal Projection Chapter 18
🕑 Added 2025-04-28 03:00:14 +0000 UTCChapter 18: You’re not secretly some kind of heiress, are you?
【 Stelle saw Kafka, her body stretched and deformed, kneaded together with the umbrella in her hand, turning into water droplets falling at her feet.
She found herself a crying Yadryfine infant, embracing the placenta with the umbilical cord still uncut. Remembered a golden scar on her body, golden blood flowing on a dying planet. Discovered her skin was dark, her robe sweeping across the wasteland.
"Then, His voice suddenly came from a distant place—"
"The robe flutters and wraps around your dark skin, you laugh at exploration. The silk threads spin, overlap, and weave into oceanic words..."
Every word He spoke connected to each other, as if murmuring. Without waiting for Stelle to answer, He suddenly disappeared."
Stelle was holding her head when suddenly Herta's excited voice came from her ear: "Success! That's Fuli, He thought you were the fallen Akivili and took the initiative to talk to you—this is even better than I thought! Fuli is very helpful to my research because He has everyone's memory and knows things only second to Nous!" 】

~Genshin Impact World~
The speaker didn't mean much, but the listener did. Citlali put down her wine glass, the corners of her eyes drooping slightly, pondering to herself.
Possessing the memories of everyone, could this "everyone" include all the humans in the entire universe?
This is too...
As the Great Shaman of the Masters of the Night-Wind, Citlali had some understanding of the God of Death. Although this God presided over the power of death, its scope was limited to Teyvat.
If judged according to the worldview in the light screen, there must be many worlds similar to Teyvat in their universe, and the Memory Aeon Fuli presides over the memories of these countless worlds.
Compared to the power of the Archons, this is simply worlds apart...
Citlali secretly glanced at Mavuika.
Mavuika, who had been chatting and laughing just now, had a rare serious expression on her face after personally witnessing the power of the virtual Aeon.

【 "Come out, Stelle, I'm going to upgrade the 【 Simulated Universe 】. You'll be spending more time in it in the future."
As soon as Herta finished speaking, Stelle felt her navel being pulled by a hook, and she somersaulted. When she opened her eyes, she found herself in Herta's office.
Herta was still immersed in joy, manipulating the Simulated Universe's dial while muttering: "I have to tell Stephen this result quickly... Oh right, Stelle, don't just stand there, go in and wander around again, see if you can say a word or two or something..."
Herta's attitude of completely disregarding others made Stelle slightly dissatisfied: "You should give me some respect."
"Indeed, you're right."
Herta was still adjusting the machine without looking back, not angry at all because Stelle contradicted her, and followed her advice: "I was carried away, sorry, Stelle, you did a great job! If it's convenient, please go in and test it again."
"I've upgraded the Simulated Universe now, it has more memory and a longer process. I guess the last game must have been boring, so I'll have Stephen add some interesting things." 】

~Frieren: Beyond Journey's End World~
"Uh, this Ms. Herta's personality..."
Frieren hesitated.
"People with this kind of personality are rare in life, but they are quite common in some research fields."
Frieren recalled what it was like to meet those court mages decades ago.
They were all freaks, but their skills were indeed profound. They unreservedly dedicated their limited and short lives to magic research and cracking, and were even willing to sacrifice humanity in order to obtain insignificant progress.
In comparison, Ms. Herta is already quite mild.

【 "It would be more practical to give me more rewards." Stelle spread out her hands.
"Oh, that's for sure, after all, you're going to spend more time on this project. I'll arrange the rewards later, you don't have to worry." After saying that, Herta continued to operate the Simulated Universe, obviously stating to be upgraded.
"Seeing Herta busy, Stelle tiptoed out of the office."
"Ding ding—"
As soon as she left the office, Stelle heard her phone vibrate.
Asta: Stelle, thank you very much for helping Ms. Herta test the Simulated Universe.
Asta: The test must have been difficult, right? You've worked hard, this is your reward. Credit Points 30,000,000. Please accept.
Asta: Sorry, I don't know what a suitable reward to give you for a while. I'll give you other rewards when you visit the space station another day.
Asta: Forgive me.jpg
Seeing the cute emoticon sent by Asta, Stelle felt the core of her body warm.
But when she moved her eyes up and saw the long string of 0s after the Credit Points, she immediately gasped. 】

『Viewers of Countless World』
At the same time, the people outside the light screen also felt a sour feeling.
So this is financial freedom?
~Zenless Zone Zero World~
"Top student, young and beautiful, gentle and considerate, pink hair, butler..."
After scrutinizing Asta on the light screen, Asaba Harumasa’s gaze drifted toward Tsukishiro Yanagi beside him—currently occupied with nibbling on a red bean bun.
Aside from one glaring difference in proportions, the resemblance was uncanny.
Could it be...
Asaba Harumasa smiled and said,
"Vice-Section Chief Yanagi… you’re not secretly some kind of heiress, are you?"
"Hah? What absurdity are you spouting now?"
Before Yanagi could retaliate, Harumasa leaned across her desk, adopting a theatrically pitiful expression:
"Vice-Section Chief, you know how frail I’ve been since childhood—especially my teeth. Hard rice is practically torture..."
"Oh? Is that so?"
Yanagi adjusted her glasses, her smile never wavering—but her fingers had already curled around the retractable knife at her hip.
Harumasa’s survival instincts kicked in. He recoiled instantly, a cold sweat breaking down his back.
Then—
Something sweet and pillowy was shoved into his mouth.
A red bean bun.
Soukaku had struck.
"Harumasa, if you can’t eat hard rice… here! You can have the bun Sister Yanagi gave me today!"
Soukaku leaned her little head over at the right time. The smile on her face was pure and lovely, making people involuntarily think of the budding flower trees by the river in the Light Reflection Plaza.
Harumasa was stunned for a full ten seconds. Just as he was about to hug Soukaku with tears in his eyes and exclaim what a good child she was, he found that Tsunokaku was secretly hiding an empty food box in her hand.
Asaba Harumasa's name was written crookedly on the food box.
The girl would inadvertently reveal two cute little tiger teeth when she smiled, but at this moment, Harumasa felt that these two tiger teeth were piercing him and making him gasp.
Soukaku raised the lunch box in one hand, puffed out her chest proudly, and said triumphantly:
"...Harumasa, you also said that you can't eat hard rice, right? But don't worry, look, Soukaku has eliminated it for you."
