Interesting reasoning about the Pirate Federation

Even with the three factions fighting for supremacy, it won't change the main storyline everyone knows! So everyone gets to enjoy the classic story while also conquering new territory.

Speaking of new, guess who's back when the game starts? Those two adorable fluffballs with the big, sleepy eyes! Pink fur, blue fur... they're as cute as ever.

But this time, things just got official: the dialog box straight up calls you "Captain"!

The three of them were constantly making these weird, random remarks that broke the fourth wall.

At first, the captain didn't want to get pulled into their nonsense. Faced with those two hopeful, pleading faces, they made a bold move: eyes shut tight.

"You can't wake someone who's playing dead!" they thought, followed quickly by,

"Running away isn't pretty, but it sure works!"

"Woah, this one's a pro at dodging the question!" the others remarked.

...

When asked how you knew they were sisters, your reply was simple: "Isn't it obvious? Pink fur is for the big sis, blue fur means she's the youngest!"

The Pink and Blue Sisters were a little bewildered when you didn't act surprised to be summoned.

"Hey, listen, I'm the kind of protagonist who never gets the spotlight in the main story," you explain.

"Instead, I have this weird condition where the second I open my eyes, bam!, I'm transported to another world and some beautiful girl is always there to wake me up."

"Woah, boss! You're here too? Hey, doesn't this remind you of something?" Kiana blurted out, startled and a bit flustered by Luo Mo's sudden appearance in the dubbing studio.

Time to be extra nice, just in case, That whole losing-her-temper thing last time? Total accident! Never to be mentioned again.

When he heard this, Luo Mo pulled Luna in and raised his eyebrows.

"Nah, I don't get that kind of special treatment. More like, I got caught red-handed by a certain maid, who, uh... held me at knifepoint." He shuddered slightly at the memory of that intense encounter.

Luo Mo almost forgot all about that novel with Otto Kallen Diary adventuring in Teyvat. By the time he wanted to write a sequel, it had already been removed from the web platform.

He figured getting Theresa on board was his best chance to convince the powers-that-be to let him write the sequel.

"Hey, is this your maid, Rita?" Kiana asked, her curiosity piqued.

This mysterious guy had to be someone important, She'd never even heard of this whole experience.

Even Bronya had obsessively searched the Schicksal database trying to dig up info on him, She'd clearly been working hard on this for her sister.

At the time, they were so desperate that they'd even gotten into a small argument about it.

After a while, Bronya went quiet, even urging Kiana and Mei to take over the dubbing work from his company.

Wait... she and Luo Mo didn't have some shady deal going on back then, right?

Kiana, in a rare moment of clarity, started thinking back on the whole situation. Finally, that brain of hers was starting to work!

"You're right," Luo Mo nodded, a flicker of amusement in his eyes as he glanced at Kiana, who was lost in thought.

It was scary, Doesn't it mean that Kiana started to use her brain?

"Seriously, how many times is this? One minute I'm enjoying a comfy lap pillow from a maid, then I'm getting a thrilling vampire hug, and next I'm taking down twin demons with a totally unhinged Hatter!"

Just when you think your luck's finally turning around, that you're finally going to beat the final boss and go home with your newfound harem... BAM! A sack drops out of nowhere.

"Rozaliya, you sure that sack's tied tight?"

"Don't worry, I'll do the work. I'm very good at this operation."

her confident answer made the players outside the screen twitch at the corners of their mouths.

[Are you guys even qualified for this job? Seriously, what were you doing before? Did these two cuties have other... umm... let's just say less family-friendly jobs?]

[What the heck, you didn't even ask what kind of sack I wanted before stuffing me in it! Unacceptable!]

[Element Detection: Vampire Hug - Eww, needs more garlic.]

[Maid's Lap Pillow: 10/10 would recommend]

"And, Ellie... how about it?" Eden turned, a playful glint in her eyes.

She was all ready to tease her friend a little, But Elysia beat her to the punch.

"Pink, pink all the way! Eden, if you were going to whisk me back to your room, I wouldn't put up a fight, you know~ ♪" Elysia leaned closer, rubbing against Eden's cheek.

"Seriously, how old are you even?" Mobius scoffed, her voice dripping with sarcasm.

Now that she had the stigmata, she was all confidence and snark.

"Ooh, is our Dr. Mobius feeling a little jealous?"

Elysia patted Mobius' shoulder with a knowing smile. "But dear Mobius, if you're into that whole sack thing, wouldn't green be more your style?"

She knew perfectly well that even with the stigmata, Mobius still couldn't beat her in a fight.

Besides, Elysia could always just slip away, that's part of her charm! Now, why weren't they giving her control of the stigmata? That seemed like the obvious move...

"Speaking of sacks, wouldn't you rather see Luo Mo in one?" Mobius smoothly changed the subject, sensing Elysia might try some scheme.

No, she doesn't want to be put in a sack!

"Uh-huh?" sure enough, Elysia successfully deviated from the target. Sure enough, she cared more about her best friend.

"Didn't that guy like white? Just in time, I'll give him a pink one when the time comes!"

Mobius still gritted her teeth when she mentioned it. Damn it, does she actually dislike pink? heresy!

you open your eyes, the world a swirling darkness... and then the salty tang of the sea hits you, along with the cries of gulls overhead.

A figure with fiery red hair blocks your view, the face eerily familiar.

"Himeko...?", the name escapes your lips. This feels like a dream, but the damp sea air is too real.

That can't be Himeko!

You've been through this kind of journey enough that the feeling of displacement is familiar.

The figure has an eyepatch over one eye, and there's an arrogance in her posture that reminds you of Himeko when she's had too much to drink, A high heel dangles provocatively from one hand...

Even the attendants look like budget Bronyas – doesn't this company have the money for different character models? So it looks like our fiery teacher is actually the fearsome Pirate King!

And me? Guess I'm the hostage...

---

[Teacher Himeko! This world proves that Himeko-sensei is awesome, no matter where she is. Though, I still miss the one I know...]

[Pirate Himeko is surprisingly hot! Himeko's awesome, no matter the world!]

"Ugh..." Himeko groaned, massaging the back of her head. She never had headaches like this before! And pirates?

She is a glorious Herrscher teacher... NO, Valkyrie teacher, how could she be a pirate?

Worse yet, the scenes she'd been pulled into were just terrible.

"Himeko... are you okay?" Theresa asked, playfully prodding her friend in the side.

"It's this stupid dubbing work. They keep dragging me into it!" Himeko grumbled.

...

"Bronya, are you here to make fun of me? Just show up and be a pawn in the back." Kiana couldn't help but laugh out loud.

She had always wanted to find an opportunity to mock the other party, and now she finally had a good opportunity.

"I don't know what idiot Kiana is talking about. Your character hasn't appeared yet. Bronya really can't think of any suitable career for you."

Bronya's eyes were slightly cold, and she naturally wanted to fight back.

"Think about it carefully. What profession can afford Kiana with such a huge appetite?"

"Hey, don't tell me; it seems like I can only eat! If Mei is by my side, I definitely don't have to worry about such a problem!"

Although she is a beautiful pirate, it is not difficult to tell from the conversation that follows.

The Pirate Federation has only been established for three years, but it has grown rapidly by virtue of its unique advantages.

Now it is more like a country, and the influence of the title Pirate King cannot be underestimated.

You were threatened by Himeko being thrown off the ship; your brain turned quickly. Through micro-expressions and psychological analysis, you came to the conclusion that Himeko was not the pirate king.

"Because Miss Pirate, you initially called yourself "I'm here," and you unconsciously poked your brow bone with your finger."

"The most important thing is that a king will not allow anyone to eavesdrop on the conversation as if nothing happened."

Behind the scenes, Dr. Tesla and Dr. Einstein, who also made their debut with the pink and blue group, who appeared on the ship, directly confirming this.

Congratulations to you for your excellent logical reasoning skills; you no longer have to be thrown off the boat.

...

"Seriously, what's with this pirate obsession? Cocolia, Yang, now even myself and Mophead. Next thing you know, all of Anti-Entropy will be walking the plank!" Tesla grumbled, watching the scene unfold.

It's not that there is any discrimination against the pirate profession. Why do all the cadres of such a large anti-entropy group become pirates?

Is it because of bankruptcy?

No, no, this is in a different world; please be more open-minded...

Okay, I still don't like the pirate profession.

Thinking of something, she looked at Einstein teasingly and said, "Hey, Mophead, according to the saying that pink fur is the elder sister and blue fur is the younger sister, shouldn't you also be considered my sister?"

"First of all, Dr. Lobster Head, you may have misjudged your hair color because of color blindness. You are red; secondly, it is just a joke and can be understood as an unspoken rule in animation." Einstein said calmly.

But judging by what she called Tesla, it was clear she was unhappy about the issue.

"Well, probably like many anime and games now, the protagonist's teacher must die."

Yang pushed up his glasses and gave his own rigorous opinion.

In his free time, he is still very concerned about the current entertainment market.

"Wait a minute, what kind of culture is this? Has teaching really become a high-risk profession?"

Tesla originally wanted to refute Einstein's words, but what Yang said was even more shocking.

This is a bit strange, right? Is this how you follow the trend?

---

And ultimately, the reason for their request turned out to be... The corpse of the messenger Gray Snake?

It was rumored to be the messenger of the unknown pirate king hiding in the shadows - the way he'd been guiding Himeko's next move...

But the problem now is that Gray Snake died on the ship.

So who is the real culprit?

On your quest, you replicate the route taken.

"Hmmmmm, I see, a body as barren as Dr. Tesla's would make strange noises stepping on a wooden floor like this, taking notes taking notes."

You record this rare piece of data in a serious manner...

while the person on the other side of the room has long since become so annoyed that he can't speak properly.

"Body body body body body body body body body barren? And what the hell is that weird sound?!"

"Oh oh oh, this textbook standard of annoyance, take notes take notes, very informative."

"Hey!"

You happily take notes, even for you, this is uncharted.

And the clues reveal the mystery step by step.

---

[As expected of Tesla, it can always provide a little joy when we are nervous! ]

[Textbook Tsundere? Someone said the same thing to me IRL. Is that what Tsundere means?]

[Are we even investigating anymore? This is getting weird... and kinda funny.]

Meanwhile, Gray Snake's mind is reeling. Why is he dead? More importantly, why does he even exist? Did they seriously have enough extra money to bring him in just for this??

At least they changed his name, right?

"Natasha... why are you laughing?" Gray Snake eyed the Raven, who was trying to hide her amusement.

"I... I was just thinking how happy the children will be to leave that place," the Raven replied, her lips twitching.

Okay, the game itself isn't that funny, but there's something hilarious about seeing Gray Snake look so down... He can't be the only miserable snake in this world, right? What's even the point of him?

Seriously, the way he goes on with all those dramatic speeches at the start of every stage… it's like he thinks he's some deep philosopher!

"... better be this way," Gray Snake sighs. Guess he's just as eager to see how he died.

---

Let's review the report.

Einstein had a clear view from downstairs and saw only Cocolia and Gray Snake in the room. When she left, Gray Snake was dead. Seems like an open-and-shut case, with Cocolia as the prime suspect.

She's in custody now but insists Gray Snake was already dead when she arrived. Odd that she didn't say anything earlier...

Now, the clues: a door that won't close on its own, a third person present...

"To avoid Einstein's view, the killer has to be short, stealthy, and someone that Dr. Tesla wouldn't pick up on," you reason aloud. "Someone so unassuming they'd go unnoticed."

A lightbulb goes off. Everyone knows who fits that description: Himeko's ever-present attendants, Bronya.

...

" Uh... killer? "

Kiana tilted her head and looked at the reasoning process in the game.

" uh-huh? "

Bronya puffed out her non-existent breasts. Regardless of what was said at the beginning, the identity of the killer still suited her well!

"Sooo, their whole logic is basically that you're short and less... uh... noticeable than Dr. Tesla?" Kiana asked the question with a bad intention, pretending not to understand.

"... Idiot Kiana, you are the only one who talks too much! "

Bronya curled her lips unhappily, but she didn't expect that she would become a villain.

Also, how old is Dr. Tesla? I am still young and have a lot of room for growth!

...

And the final ending is equally dramatic,

The history of the Pirate's Alliance is one of countless profits made through the great popularity of Howlm and its periphery.

But in recent years, as Howlm became more popular, a large number of counterfeits appeared.

And why did everyone want a piece of Gray Snake? Because he held the secret treasure map left by the OG Pirate King himself! This gave him leverage over the other two leaders.

And what did they find in that treasure chest? A single, dusty Homu M.

---

" Pfft, it's very Bronya style! "

Kiana smiled, hit the palm of her right hand with her left hand, and solved the case!

If it is for Homu, everything seems to make sense.

"Hey! Bronya wouldn't ever kill for a Homu! That's slander!" Bronya protested, clutching her Homu doll a little too tightly...

"It's just a game, chill," Luo Mo said, waving dismissively.

[Wait, so the whole Pirate Federation was powered by Homu sales? Homu is indeed my favorite toy! ]

[ Meh, who cares about the game! Who's gonna take on this pathetic pirate crew? Himeko alone could wipe 'em out!]

[ What do you mean bad pirate? You're the worst! Attack the Huang Empire! Crush the Schicksal Theocracy!]
