Chapter 49: If Klee could run away as well as Uncle Sambo, she wouldn't get caught by Master
「 "Stepping over the encamped vagrants, the group found a locked gate at the entrance to the Svarog Base."
"What a heavy gate... Alright, watch this!" March 7th suddenly got excited, putting her hands on her hips, "Open~ Sesame~"
Sambo, behind her, slightly raised the corner of his mouth, completely wearing a look of amusement, while Dan Heng shook his head helplessly, sighing with a look of not being able to bear to watch.
"What was that? A password?" Bronya actually had expected the gate to slowly open.
"A command from a fairy tale, it probably won't work here." Although his companion was embarrassing, Dan Heng still explained seriously. 」
「 .....」
~KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World~
"kushu, kushu, kushu, Kazuma, little March is so silly! There are actually people in this world who would use a fairy tale command to open a door, kushu, kushu, kushu!"
Aqua was laughing so hard she couldn't stand up straight.
"Shut up, you're bothering my eyes!"
Kazuma looked at the light screen with a lovesick expression,
"Although little March is silly, she's really cute. If I could adventure with her..."
Then he changed the subject, looking at a certain idiotic goddess spraying water with a fan in the tavern,
"She's obviously much more capable than Aqua, alright?!"
"Kazuma, you bastard! This goddess is clearly more amazing!"

「 Stelle turned to look at Sambo, "What about the clue you mentioned?"
Sambo explained in detail how to authenticate the gate. Although it was a little bit of a hassle, the group still managed to get the authentication after finding the trial robot, albeit with a bit of a scare.
Returning to the gate, they inserted the authentication card into the password lock.
March 7th, happily shouted again, "Open~ Sesame~"
This time, the gate opened in response, and little March happily walked in first.
Sambo followed at the end, unable to resist immediately claiming credit,
"See, old Sambo is still very useful—"
However, before he could finish speaking, he realized he had claimed credit too early—because there was another gate inside, and the structure of this gate was even more complex than the first one!
"Sambo, what's going on... Sambo? Where did he go?" Seele turned around and found that Sambo had already run away.
"Huh? Where did that guy run off to? He was just here a moment ago?"
March 7th was also puzzling. She knew Sambo would run, but she didn't expect him to be so stealthy that there wasn't even a footprint on the snowy ground.
"Getting used to it." Dan Heng had a look of not being surprised at all. 」
「 .....」
~Genshin Impact World~
"Sambo's escaping skills are top-notch,"
Kaeya exclaimed.
"Yeah, I still don't understand how he single-handedly carried four people to the lower district. In a way, he's definitely a genius at escaping."
Lisa simply imagined the scene, and the image in her mind was quite abstract.
Klee's eyes widened enviously,
"If Klee could run away as well as Uncle Sambo, she wouldn't get caught by Master Jean!"
Kaeya laughed heartily,
"Klee, you're only allowed to say things like that when Master Jean isn't around from now on."
"And, haven't you noticed?"
Eula suddenly spoke up from the side,
"That kid Sambo seems quite sharp. As soon as he encounters any danger, he runs away immediately."
"If someone like that were in Mondstadt, Grand Master Varka would definitely take him with him. If that kid Sambo were to try and sneak away halfway through, it would mean the expedition team was about to encounter danger!"
"Speaking of which, I still don't know where the Grand Master has gone on his expedition..."

「 Just then, a small robot walked over. After some inspection, it was confirmed that they did not have individual access permission, and only Clara could apply for permission at the moment.
"Clara? Ah, that's the little girl we met in the Great Mine. What's her background that we have to apply for permission from her?"
March 7th was confused.
"She is Svarog's master."
Stelle said without hesitation."
"Uh..."
Bronya was speechless.
"She's family, right? Did you really remember wrong, or are you doing it on purpose?"
"I was deliberately careless!" Stelle puffed out her chest, righteously indignant."
"Family... Uh, I don't quite understand." March 7th rubbed her forehead. 」
「 .....」
~Zenless Zone Zero World~
"Speaking of which, the people who have appeared in this light screen... seem to have quite tragic backgrounds, except for Dan Heng."
Tsukishiro Yanagi showed a look of pity.
March 7th has amnesia, Stelle also has amnesia, and Dan Heng's situation is still unknown, but judging by his young age and venturing out, his relationship with his family is probably not good.
Seele and Bronya were previously from an orphanage, and both their biological parents have passed away...
While Bronya's only adoptive mother is constantly putting pressure on her.
Sigh... It seems life in other worlds is also difficult.
They in the other world have to face the cold wave, while they in real life have to face the constantly expanding erosion of the void.
"You have to think differently, Deputy Chief."
Asaba Harumasa put his hands behind his back,
"In current fantasy novels, things like amnesia and losing parents are standard for protagonists. When they have amnesia, they can enjoy a life of being overpowered."
"Hmm? What kind of saying is that?"
Tsukishiro Yanagi tilted her head in confusion. Due to her work, she has always lacked knowledge about novels and movies.
Asaba Harumasa explained in detail:
"Look, Stelle has amnesia, and she gained the Stellaron, right? The Cancer of All Worlds! She can not only take a laser from a Doomsday Beast to the face without a scratch, but she can even kill a Doomsday Beast with one swing of her bat!"
"Also, although March 7th has amnesia, she gained the power of the Six-Phase Ice, which allows her to freeze and protect her teammates at will. Coupled with her archery, she's also very powerful, right?"
"It's unclear whether Dan Heng's parents are alive, but as of now, he's definitely not ordinary! He's so young and has such fluid spear skills. He must have been taught by a master one-on-one, and his family must be rich and noble!"
Asaba Harumasa spoke endlessly, and Tsukishiro Yanagi felt that it seemed to be the case. The three members of the Astral Express are indeed not simple.
So, she asked,
"What about Seele and Bronya? Both of their biological parents are gone, one grew up in the lower district suffering, and the other is constantly under pressure in the upper district, and it seems..."
"NONONO! Deputy Chief, you are completely wrong."
Asaba Harumasa wagged his flexible index finger back and forth, saying seriously,
"...They have love!"
Tsukishiro Yanagi: ???
But... it seems to make some sense!
Asaba Harumasa had a confident expression,
"Just tell me if they're a good ship? I remember not long ago when Seele and Bronya were walking and watching the stars together outside the orphanage... Deputy Chief, you were the one laughing the happiest in the office, weren't you?"
