HSR- Multiversal Projection Chapter 9
🕑 Added 2025-04-16 11:11:37 +0000 UTCChapter 9: Miss Herta, can you let me glance at your manuscript?
【 In the light curtain image, Himeko smiled gently as she saw the group arrive. "Honestly, you guys always make it so thrilling. But it's good to have you back. You've worked hard. March 7th, Dan Heng."
"Himeko, you should have come earlier." March 7th whined and acted spoiled as soon as she saw Himeko. That last batch of Antimatter Legion was like locusts, and I used arrows. It was so tiring to fight."
"Coming earlier wouldn't have helped. My orbital cannon can take out a whole area, but if Herta sees the space station like this, she'll definitely come after us."
Himeko noticed Stelle behind March 7th and introduced herself, "Hi, nice to meet you, I'm Himeko, the navigator of the Astral Express."
"Which means, the train does whatever she says." March 7th added with a smile.
Himeko smiled slightly, not denying it, "Has March 7th been giving you trouble along the way?"
"Think carefully before you answer~" March 7th frowned slightly, a hint of small threat in her eyes.
Stelle just shrugged, "Never seen such a reckless girl."
"That's just my personality!" March 7th raised her lips, quite proud, "I didn't cause any trouble this time... you'll get used to it, see, Dan Heng is used to it."
Dan Heng simply closed his eyes, "I have the right to remain silent."
"Hahaha, young people easily become friends, it seems you're already quite familiar." Himeko was happy to see them like this. "Let's go, we'll go see Asta."
When the group arrived, Asta had just finished issuing a series of orders.
"You're back? I'm so glad to see you safe, Arlan was just here, he told me about the Storage Zone, and his injuries... thanks to your help, thank you."
Seeing the members of the Express crew, Asta's originally tense nerves could finally relax a little.
"Let's go talk to the staff. At this time, no one wants any more accidents inside the space station. By the way, have you tried contacting Herta?" Himeko suddenly asked.
A trace of loneliness flashed in Asta's eyes, "I sent many emails, all without reply. Miss Himeko, you know her, the space station is just her warehouse for storing followers and curios, she doesn't care about it at all."
"I knew it." Himeko was also quite helpless, but still comforted her, "It's okay, I'll also send a message to Herta, saying we brought the curio she wanted, at least that will be a bit attractive to her."
"That would be a great help." Asta finally had a smile on her flower-like face, compared to the constant alarms ringing in the space station, this was rare good news.
"Ms. Herta is a genius, but how to manage the staff, how to politely responding to the various difficulties of the Genius Society is beyond her ability, and I happen to be able to handle these."
"No matter what the problem, just say it's Ms. Herta's intention, after all, Herta herself is the symbol of 'wisdom'." Remembering the help Herta had given her, Asta's eyes almost had little stars popping out. 】

~Frieren: Beyond Journey's End World~
Hearing Asta's every sentence mentioning "Herta," Frieren also became curious about Herta's identity.
"Frieren-sama, this 'Herta' seems very powerful, should be a figure who can influence the interworld situation, right?"
Seeing Asta's respectful appearance, Frieren inexplicably thought of Serie-sama.
When those First-Class mages mentioned Serie-sama, the respect and admiration on their faces were exactly the same as this Miss Asta.
"From what they're saying, this Ms. Herta is a terrible person."
Stark lay on the chair, frowning slightly,
"She's the owner of the space station, but she doesn't care about the staff who follow her, it seems their lives and deaths have nothing to do with her... what a cold person."
"Those who can be called 'genius' have more or less places that ordinary people can't understand."
Frieren looked at the dusty grimoires on the bookshelf, seeming to remember something, and said leisurely,
"You know, in the eyes of many big figures, ordinary humans may not even be as good as ants... Stark, when you walk in the forest, do you care about the ants under your feet?"
Stark opened his mouth and was stunned for a moment.
"People with this kind of personality are generally rushing towards the truth."
Frieren yawned,
"I've seen too many of these people."
Fern saw Sein in the corner hugging a wine bottle in a daze, and asked curiously,
"What is Sein-sama thinking about?"
"Well, I was thinking, if this Ms. Herta is a young and beautiful lady, this terrible personality doesn't seem to be a disadvantage."
"Uh..."
Fern had an expression of extreme disgust on her face.
"Those who are willing to dedicate their time to wisdom and truth will definitely not be young, maybe she's a wizened old hag~"
Frieren showed a sly smile.

~Runeterra World~
On the other side, seeing Miss Asta so admire "Ms. Herta," Jayce couldn't help but feel very curious.
In his and Viktor's view, the technology of that Silver Wolf to modify reality alone was enough for them to spend a long time studying, but from what they were saying, this Ms. Herta seemed even more powerful than Silver Wolf.
Mentioning "the symbol of wisdom," Jayce subconsciously thought of Professor Heimerdinger.
Although the professor was the founder of this city of progress, after hundreds of years, his thinking had gradually become conservative.
As the professor's student, Jayce still maintained respect and humility towards this teacher, but in his heart, he gradually no longer agreed with him.
"I wonder what achievements this Ms. Herta has made? Has she also created a progressive city... or a progressive country?"
Viktor also gradually couldn't restrain his curiosity. But just then, as if the pink-haired girl in the light curtain heard their thoughts, she actually began to introduce this famous genius.
—
【 "Ms. Herta?"
"She's a member of the 'Genius Society,' a favored child of the 'Erudition' Aeon. Since the birth of the Erudition, there have only been 84 such people in total."
"So, Ms. Herta is super willful... she only does what she's interested in, and leaves immediately when she loses interest. This space station is such a product..."
"Not long ago, I borrowed a copy of her manuscript as a reference, It should still be in the Main Control Zone; you can take a look if you're interested." 】
【 ..... 】
~Runeterra World~
"Erudition Aeon?!"
After listening to the explanation, both Jayce and Viktor captured this name.
When they were young, they had more or less heard the legends of Magic, what Tales of Past Catastrophes, what the fragmented, fear-inducing tales about the Void...
But listening to it, compared to this Erudition Aeon, the level was too different!
Across different worlds, Jayce and Viktor could more or less guess that Ms. Herta's achievements might not be helpful to their hextech research. It's just that scientists are the embodiment of curiosity, and it was too difficult for Jayce to resist wanting to know.
If there was no exaggeration in Asta's words, this Ms. Herta was one of the 84 most intelligent people in the universe; this title alone was probably comparable to the gods in their worlds, right?
And her research manuscript, the degree of preciousness was self-evident.
Unfortunately, Asta was talking to Stelle, not to them. At this moment, Jayce just wanted Stelle to quickly find Ms. Herta's manuscript so they could see it... even if it was just a glance!
Translator note: I don't know if the Author-san made a mistake by combining the Runeterra world and the Genshin Impact world, or if it was intentionally. When I first read the manuscript, it was a mess. A total mess. Translating and proofreading this took almost two and a half hours just for this Chapter alone... if there's still a grammar error, let me know.
