"At the Marine Headquarters, atop the execution platform.
Qiqi and Klee crouched at the edge of the high platform, gazing at the port below that had been restored to its former state. Behind them, Liyue, encouraged by Qiqi, Klee, and Zhongli, was attempting to host her first broadcast.
Klee extended her small hand to tap the air, then turned and waved enthusiastically at Liyue, who was working hard. She quickly snapped a few photos and opened the chat group, tagging Zhongli.
Chat Group Conversation:
Megumin: Ah~ Ah, I lost my fish again.
Megumin: Ugh, the fish in this world are unbelievably tricky!
Kuroneko: Heh, I just caught one.
Kuroneko: Come on, I'll send out a red packet. Don't worry, I've already prepared the fish.
Soma Yukihira: Oh ho~ Many thanks!
Soma Yukihira: I'm still amazed by the massive fish Klee and the others caught. I can't help but wonder what such monstrous seafood tastes like.
Mark: ...
Mark: Soma, shouldn't you be more surprised by their strength?!
Mark: Humans possessing such world-shattering power is beyond belief. But now I'm really glad I joined here. If I had power like the admins, things would never have turned out this way.
Klee: @Zhongli, Uncle Zhongli, I've taken the photos you asked for!
Zhongli: Thank you, Klee. I'll have the Liyue Qixing issue you a legal fishing permit as a reward.
Klee: Yay!!! (^▽^)
Klee: @Tokimoto Hifumi, Sister Hifumi, next time let's go fishing together! Uncle Zhongli's place has the best seafood, especially something called Haishan—it's my favorite.
Tokimoto Hifumi: Of course, Klee. I'll definitely join you next time. לu(ヽ´∀｀)ﾉ
Keqing: Emperor… I mean, Mr. Zhongli…
Zhongli: Ahem, Hiroshi suggested that it would be a good idea to document all of Liyue's experiences, to eventually compile into a parenting guide.
Keqing: ...Alright, if that's your wish, then so be it.
Klee: Huh?
Klee: Why is Sister Kuroneko and Sister Keqing here? Aren't you supposed to be guarding the Four Seas?
Xiaohei: That's exactly why everyone's here.
Xiaohei: [Fishing photo.jpg]
Xiaohei: The Navy officers have finally arrived to take over. Once they've settled in, we can head back.
Klee: Oh~
Kuroneko: By the way!
Kuroneko: @Mark, are you okay?
Kuroneko: I had a moment to check your destiny instance earlier. Are you at the Lighthouse or gathering supplies underground?
Mark: We're preparing to head underground for supplies.
Mark: The City Lord… has collapsed. I have to bring back medicine.
Soma Yukihira: ???
Soma Yukihira: I also looked into Mark's world. Are you sure it's okay?
Soma Yukihira: The underground is so dangerous, and there are so many monsters.
Mark: Someone has to do it. And I'm the only one at the Lighthouse who can.
Aqua: Want me to heal your City Lord? I can bring them back even if they're dead.
Mark: Really?!
Aqua: Of course! I am the great goddess of water, Aqua-sama! I've revived Kazuma countless times. Resurrection magic is my specialty.
Aqua: But I need to finish my task here before heading to your world.
Touma Kamijou: Aqua, do you still have that healing potion from last time? It could save the City Lord even if they're critically injured.
Aqua: About that potion, ahahaha…
Aqua: Oh! Time to head to the Holy Land! Gotta go, later!
Aqua: Mark, tell your City Lord to hang in there. I'll come heal them once I'm done. Don't worry, even if they die, I'll revive them.
Aqua: Bye~
Megumin: Aqua…
Megumin: Don't count on her healing potion.
Megumin: After we became demigods and her potions stopped working on us, she secretly replaced them with alcohol.
Shirou Emiya: ????
[Ding! Administrator Kazuma Satou has muted Aqua for 24 hours.]
Kazuma Satou: I'm so mad! Aqua kept all the alcohol for herself!
Megumin: Kazuma, care to rephrase that?
Kazuma Satou: ...Aqua kept it from us!
Megumin: Better.
Soma Yukihira: Back on topic, what about Mark?
Soma Yukihira: And why did he go silent?
Soma Yukihira: Kuroneko, can you share that giant sea monster meat you mentioned?
Kuroneko: Oh, sorry. I forgot.
[Ding! Administrator Kuroneko has sent a prepared Leviathan meat red packet.]
Soma Yukihira: Thanks! Time to experiment. I'll prepare something amazing for everyone.
Natsume Takashi: Kuroneko, may I have some too? Aunt Taki couldn't buy fish today, and Nyanko-sensei is upset.
Kuroneko: No need to be so formal, Natsume.
Kuroneko: Shared items are for everyone to enjoy. Please, help yourself.
[Ding! Mission Issued!]
Mission: Mark's world has succumbed to rapid technological advancement, leading to a mental breakdown among humans and ultimately an apocalyptic collapse. Humanity now survives in only two locations. With the City Lord of the Lighthouse collapsing from a heart attack, Mark embarks on a dangerous journey to procure medicine.
Objective: Assist Mark in retrieving the special medicine, revive the City Lord, and ensure Mark ascends as the new City Lord with most Hunters surviving.
Time Limit: 24 hours.
Restrictions: Only master-level members can accept this mission.
Reward: 50,000 points, 30,000 experience.
P.S.: If you're powerful enough, rewriting the apocalypse is also an option.
Hiroshi: ???!!!
Hiroshi: Another mission while we're already in one?
Hiroshi: This doesn't look too hard. Mark's sole focus is saving his City Lord, which probably triggered it.
Kazuma Satou: Agreed. First time seeing overlapping missions.
Kazuma Satou: What do we do? We're all still busy with Kizaru.
Tokimoto Hifumi: I… I can go, if no one minds. o(^-^)┛
Klee: Sister Hifumi, you're going?
Tokimoto Hifumi: Yes. Seeing everyone work so hard makes me want to help too. ヾ(?°?°?)??
Tokimoto Hifumi: I couldn't join previous missions, but I'd like to contribute this time.
Hiroshi: Are you sure, Hifumi?
Tokimoto Hifumi: (^▽^) I've been training with Klee and Megumin's help. I'm level 13 now, so I'm confident.
Mark: ??? A mission!
