"Since becoming a Stellaron Hunter, Silver Wolf had never seen anyone who could break Kafka's Spirit Whisper. Let alone seen it, she hadn't even heard of anyone breaking free from Kafka's Spirit Whisper. How could the situation unfolding before her eyes not surprise Silver Wolf?
"It seems a certain invisible man doesn't want us to know more information." A hint of surprise also flashed in Kafka's eyes. She looked vigilantly towards the position where Nahida and the four were standing. She couldn't help but be surprised, as she hadn't even seen how Takagi had acted to break the restraints on Nahida and the other four.
"This is normal. I don't think anyone would want their secrets to be discovered by others. Furthermore, I temporarily don't want too many people to know the hometowns of my tourists." As Takagi's voice appeared, Kafka and Silver Wolf both felt a hand climb onto their shoulders. A sharp light flashed in their eyes, and they instantly attacked behind them. However, their attacks ultimately landed only on the air.
When the two turned around again, they happened to find Takagi's figure in front of Lisa, Nahida, and Cloud Retainer. Dottore narrowed his eyes and proactively chose to approach Cloud Retainer and the other two.
(Furina: Phew, couldn't this Takagi have appeared a little earlier?)
(Navia: My heart was about to jump out. I thought Teyvat's information was going to be known by dangerous individuals like the Stellaron Hunters.)
(Rosaria: Dottore of the Fatui is truly embarrassing. Seeing that Takagi wasn't blocking him, he actually proactively approached Lisa and the other two.)
(La Signora: He's really disgracing our Fatui.)
(Yae Miko: It seems now, Lord Takagi is planning to personally take action to punish these Stellaron Hunters.)
(Lumine: Going to punish them? What a pity, if I were by Takagi's side, I could help Takagi strip off Kafka's purple stockings.)
(Paimon: Hey, Lumine, don't say such dangerous things in the forum!)
(Lumine: Ehe!)
(Paimon: ...)
"Silver Wolf, be careful, this man is very troublesome." Kafka instantly drew the twin pistols from her waist and aimed them at Takagi. She had originally thought that although Takagi could be invisible, at least when he reached her side, or when he attacked, she would be able to sense his location. However, the truth was, whether Takagi took action to help Lisa and the others break free, or when Takagi arrived by their side, she did not detect Takagi's presence. This unexpected event instantly made Kafka extremely vigilant.
Silver Wolf also lowered her stance, watching Takagi warily, clearly realizing that Takagi could not be treated the same way as Nahida and the others.
"I told you, I have no intention of fighting with the two of you. I just want to witness what you are doing with my own eyes. Why resort to weapons? Come on, put down your weapons, let's talk properly." Takagi pressed his hands down towards Silver Wolf and Kafka, smiling.
"Sorry, we have important matters to attend to right now. If we're going to talk properly, let's wait until the next time we meet." Kafka said with a soft laugh.
As she finished speaking, Silver Wolf, standing beside her, immediately and forcefully channeled the power of Aether Editing without explanation, intending to create a spatial rift beneath Takagi and the space below him, in order to forcibly teleport Takagi and the others away.
"Why is this necessary? I said I have no ill intentions towards you. Besides, if we were to fight, you wouldn't be my opponents." Takagi said.
"You seem very confident. I just wonder if this confidence is arrogance." Kafka laughed softly, the red light in her eyes shining even brighter.
"I also think you'd better not underestimate us. Earlier, I was just testing the waters. Now I'm serious." Silver Wolf said, her Path Power rising another level.
In an instant, the space beneath Takagi's feet began to show signs of loosening. Takagi shook his head, raising his toe and tapping the ground. In an instant, the spatial teleportation zone that had just begun to open instantly vanished without a trace.
"How could this be!" Silver Wolf's eyes widened in surprise. Unlike last time, this time she had used all her strength.
"Lady Silver Wolf, I suggest you stop thinking about teleporting me away. If you continue like this, I might have to give you a little punishment. You wouldn't want your game accounts to be completely banned, would you?"
Takagi raised a hand, and a virtual technological control panel appeared in front of him. Using the power of Aether Editing from the Silver Wolf template, Takagi effortlessly found Silver Wolf's 76 virtual accounts. After speaking, Takagi even deliberately displayed the panel in front of Silver Wolf, allowing her to clearly see her account panel.
"You also know Aether Editing? Wait... how did you find my account? Hey, what are you doing, stop it!" Silver Wolf saw Takagi actually open a gacha game under one of her virtual accounts right in front of her, and quickly ran over, wanting to stop Takagi.
Who knew, as soon as she ran two steps, her foot suddenly stepped into empty space and she fell directly into the spatial channel Takagi had set up using Aether Editing.
"Silver Wolf?" Kafka was startled, and immediately activated the power of Spirit Whisper on Takagi. "Listen to me, make Silver Wolf come back!"
Takagi's mouth curved up, and he casually opened another spatial channel in the ceiling corresponding to the channel Silver Wolf had fallen into, using the power of Aether Editing. The next moment, Silver Wolf fell down from the spatial channel above. Fortunately, Takagi had already closed the spatial channel on the ground, otherwise Silver Wolf would probably have fallen into an endless loop of falling.
Kafka glanced at the safe and sound Silver Wolf, and her eyes, glowing with purple light, looked at Takagi again: "Listen to me..."
Takagi: "No, it's my turn now! Listen to me, Kafka and Silver Wolf, you two stay where you are and don't move!"
Buzz!
Kafka and Silver Wolf only felt their bodies shake. In an instant, their bodies and the energy within them immediately fell into a state of stagnation. No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't move an inch or mobilize even a bit of power.
"Are you, are you kidding? Let's not even mention using Aether Editing. Why can this guy still use the power of your Spirit Whisper, Kafka?" Silver Wolf asked in extreme surprise. She wanted to look at Kafka, but was helplessly fixed by Takagi and couldn't turn her head at all.
"You're asking me, I don't know either. But it looks like we've completely lost the ability to move now." Kafka sighed deeply. She tried her best to turn her eyes towards Takagi, and said faintly: "You're absolutely right, we are indeed no match for you. I'm very sorry for ignoring your warning earlier. I wonder if it's still not too late to apologize now."
Takagi: "If apologizing worked, what would we need the police for?"
(Lumine: That's right, if apologizing worked, what would we need the police for! At this time, they should be properly punished. Alas, it's a pity, it seems like he's present at this time.)
(Arlecchino: Do you really want to get your hands on Kafka's stockings?)
(Lumine: Of course, didn't you see Kafka's beautiful legs? Speaking of which, who are you? Isn't it too deliberate to use an account name like Arlecchino?)
(Arlecchino: ...)
Kafka: "So, are you planning to send us to the IPC in exchange for credit points?"
Takagi: "No need for that. Although the two of you are very valuable, personally, I'm not short on money."
Just kidding, with a rich woman like Asta around, Takagi could completely find her from time to time for a perfect transaction. How could he still be short on credit points?
"Then what are you planning to do to us? Or rather, what do we need to do for you to let us go?" Kafka smiled gently, as if the people who were fixed weren't them.
"Don't rush. After I punish Miss Silver Wolf, who attacked me earlier, then I'll discuss what you should do with you." Takagi said this while adjusting the game under Silver Wolf's account to the gacha interface right in front of her.
"Hey, what are you going to do?" Seeing this, Silver Wolf was greatly alarmed.
"I see you've saved quite a few Stellar Jades in this game. Why aren't you pulling for characters? Is it that there hasn't been a character you like on a rate-up recently?" Takagi adjusted the gacha interface to the "current rate-up character" screen and asked Silver Wolf with confusion.
Silver Wolf: "Mind your own business! Stop it quickly, don't touch my game!"
Takagi: "Let me try my luck." Saying this, Takagi directly clicked the ten-pull button.
Silver Wolf: "No... my resources! Huh, wait, golden legend?" Silver Wolf looked at the golden light bursting from the gacha interface, and her eyes instantly widened. "Got a gold on the first ten-pull? What kind of luck is this? Please, don't be off-banner, give me the current rate-up character!"
Silver Wolf said excitedly. Takagi even felt that under such an excited mood, the Spirit Whisper trapping Silver Wolf seemed to be loosening. On the game interface, the golden light quickly faded, and the character within also appeared.
"Looks like my luck isn't bad, it wasn't off-banner. Speaking of which, you seem to like this character quite a bit. Then why are you saving so many Jades and not using them?" Takagi asked Silver Wolf with confusion.
"What do you know? Gacha pulls require the right timing, location, and people. Even if I like the rate-up character, I only pull when the feeling is right. Wait, your luck seems pretty good, how about you help me pull from the Light Cone banner too?" Silver Wolf asked.
It seemed that seeing Takagi indeed had no intention of using force, plus Takagi even helped her get a gold with one pull, Silver Wolf's attitude improved quite a bit.
"Light Cone banner, is it this one?" Saying this, Takagi clicked the ten-pull button for the Light Cone banner once again. Then, the familiar golden light.
"You're amazing! You actually got a pull on another ten-pull? And the Light Cone wasn't off-banner either! Wait, why is there still gold? Huh! This, this, this... how are there six golden cards? And they're all from the current rate-up Light Cone banner? You, you actually pulled the rate-up character's Light Cone to max?" Silver Wolf widened her eyes, looking at Takagi in disbelief.
"Tsk tsk, looks like my luck here isn't bad." Takagi clicked his tongue in wonder, sighing inwardly that if his gacha luck when playing games before transmigrating had been this good, it would have been great. Back then, when he played games and did gacha pulls, he was off-banner quite a bit.
"Hey, you didn't use Aether Editing to change the game company's backend, did you?" After calming down slightly, Silver Wolf asked Takagi with confusion.
Takagi: "Did you see me use the power of Aether Editing?"
Silver Wolf: "That's true. Hey, don't just stand there, help me pull for the rate-up character again, I'm still missing 5 more rate-up characters."
Takagi glanced at Silver Wolf, then raised his hand to exit the gacha interface and went to the game store.
Silver Wolf: "Why are you exiting the gacha... Wait, what are you doing? You demon, stop it!"
Takagi ignored Silver Wolf, raised his hand and clicked on the Star Rail Passes for the Standard Warp, immediately exchanging all the Stellar Jades for passes.
"Damn it, what did you do? Those were the Jades I saved up for several months. Why did you do this!" Silver Wolf cried and fussed, looking at Takagi with red eyes.
"Sorry, my purpose is to punish you for ignoring my advice and attacking me earlier. Not to waste my good luck helping you pull from the gacha. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for attacking me earlier." Takagi showed Silver Wolf a smile like an angel's. That's right, Takagi felt he was already very angelic. If Herta and Screwllum were here instead, it would be strange if they didn't ban Silver Wolf's 76 virtual accounts.
(Ningguang: When being punished by Lord Takagi, this Silver Wolf really seems like an ordinary little girl.)
(Dehya: Indeed, but I don't understand. Didn't Takagi just help with some games and things? Why is that little girl so anxious?)
(Lumine: You wouldn't know how terrible what Takagi did is to a gacha game enthusiast.)
(Alice: Yeah, if the game I played was treated like that, I'd go crazy.)
(Yelan: Even Traveler and Miss Alice say this. It seems Lord Takagi's punishment of Silver Wolf was effective. Next, it should be Miss Kafka's turn. I wonder what Lord Takagi will do to her.)
(Lumine: Needless to say, it was Barbatos!)
(Venti: ???)
(Barbara: Traveler, even if the Anemo Archon is unconventional, please don't be like this.)
(Lumine: It's fine, he probably won't mind, right, Anemo Archon.)
(Venti: I think if Traveler could offer the Anemo Archon a few glasses of delicious Dandelion Wine, the Anemo Archon wouldn't mind.)
(Barbara: ...)
(Lumine: ...)
......
Herta Space Station.
"This game console of yours is pretty good. Where did you buy it? Let me have a look." After Takagi closed Silver Wolf's virtual account interface, he reached out and touched the handheld console attached to Silver Wolf's thigh.
"Hey, what else do you want to do? Give me back my game console." Silver Wolf shouted anxiously.
"This game console belongs to me, consider it your punishment. Don't worry, I'll log out of your account and register a new handheld account for myself." Takagi casually threw the game console into his imaginary space and said with a smile. He was quite curious about what game Silver Wolf was playing.
"Didn't you already change my Stellar Jades into standard passes? Why is there a new punishment?" Silver Wolf said.
"But I helped you pull one limited 5-star character and 6 limited 5-star Light Cones. I think changing your remaining Jades into standard passes doesn't even offset the help I gave you. Or are you saying you think all your Jade resources are enough to pull the gold cards I helped you pull?" Takagi asked.
Hearing this, Silver Wolf couldn't help but fall silent.
"See? Even when you're at your luckiest, you might not be able to pull the cards I pulled earlier. So I think I should still take something else from you as the price." Takagi said with a smile.
"But... but damn it, I don't care, give me back my game console." Silver Wolf struggled again.
"It's just a game console, it's okay, Silver Wolf. Stop crying and making a fuss. At worst, I'll buy you another game console later." At this moment, Kafka took the initiative to speak.
Silver Wolf: "You're not the one being punished, so of course you're not anxious! Also, I'm not crying and making a fuss."
"I think I can't escape punishment either." Kafka smiled and looked at Takagi: "You're right, Takagi."
Takagi nodded slightly: "Naturally, I can't show favoritism towards you two Stellaron Hunters."
Hearing this, Kafka smiled. Takagi only mentioned a small punishment, which made her feel a little relieved. "So, what do you want to take from me?" Kafka asked.
