Hearing Takagi's words, Nahida nodded heavily:
"This is indeed a gamble, but we can control the probability of winning."
"As long as we can establish a stable and comprehensive regulatory mechanism."
"In the future, there should be no passengers bringing back forbidden knowledge from Herta Space Station."
Hearing Nahida's words, Takagi's gaze towards her became even deeper.
"It seems you've really thought a lot."
"At least compared to the moment I came to pick you up, you've grown a lot."
Takagi said.
"After all, I've witnessed too many astonishing things at Herta Space Station."
"And learned about too many disasters from the Universe."
"I think I have to grow up."
Nahida said firmly.
Takagi closed the guide in his hand, and nodded at Nahida.
"Okay, I can consider discussing with Herta about setting up an Astral Express route between Teyvat and Herta Space Station."
"However, this route is only for tourism."
"As for wanting to gain knowledge or anything at Herta Space Station, you'd best not hold too many fantasies."
"Even if the route is established, I will also have Asta treat the Teyvat people who come here via this route as pure tourists."
"You have already toured here for a while, you should know that ordinary tourists can't even go deep into the Space Station."
Takagi said.
"Even so, it's already enough."
Hearing this, Nahida smiled sweetly.
[Faruzan: Nahida, my idol!]
[Kaveh: Nahida, my idol!]
[Alhaitham: Nahida, my idol!]
[Kaveh: Hmm?! That's not quite like you, Alhaitham!]
[Alhaitham: It's fine, as long as it gives me a chance to go see Herta Space Station, it's fine for me to say something like that.]
[Kaveh: True! That's Herta Space Station, a place that truly gathers various advanced technologies.]
[Albedo: Yes, even if we can't have a certain degree of freedom of movement in the Space Station like Lisa and Cloud Retainer,
even if Herta Space Station won't give us any academic help, even if we can only stay in the reception area,
as long as we can go to Herta Space Station and see it for ourselves, that would already be excellent.]
[Kaveh: Uh, that's true, but I still really hope to gain more space for activities at Herta Space Station.]
[Alhaitham: It's likely difficult, Lord Takagi also mentioned, that he would only help us become pure tourists of Herta Space Station.]
[Alice: Don't be too sad, Herta Space Station is so advanced,
as long as we stand there for a bit, maybe we can gain research inspiration.]
[Kaveh: That's true! However, if a tourist route from Teyvat to Herta Space Station is to be set up,
I wonder where in Teyvat Lord Takagi will set it up.]
[Rosaria: Indeed, this time is different from last time, last time Acting Grand Master Jean could represent Mondstadt.
But this time, the 5 passengers all seem unable to represent any one nation.
On the other hand, Nahida, being a clone of Irminsul, seems to be able to represent us Teyvat.]
[Dehya: Although the matter of setting up the route was brought up by Nahida,
where the Astral Express will be set up, it still truly depends on Lord Takagi's own thoughts, right?]
[Dori: Great, now is the time to bring out everything I have to fight for the chance to set up the route right at my doorstep.]
[Paimon: No matter how you think about it, that's impossible, right?]
Takagi stood up and stretched, and said to Nahida:
"Don't be happy too soon, Nahida."
"I only said I would discuss with Herta about setting up the Astral Express."
"It doesn't mean she will definitely agree."
"Herta Space Station is not like Belobog."
"Belobog lacks resources, so it is very willing to establish diplomatic relations with Mondstadt."
"But Herta Space Station does not lack things from Teyvat."
Takagi felt in his heart, that establishing a route between Teyvat and Herta Space Station
was as difficult as establishing a route between Liyue and the Xianzhou Alliance.
Relying solely on the efforts of Nahida and others, it's probably impossible to get Herta to agree.
"Nothing from Teyvat will work?"
Nahida frowned tightly.
"Let alone the Vision and Delusion that Lisa and Dottore once displayed."
"Even if you brought the Gnosis here, Herta might not even spare it a glance."
"She might even get angry."
"After all, the Gnosis from Teyvat... tsk tsk, is a bit unlucky."
Takagi looked at Nahida meaningfully and said.
Others didn't know, but Takagi knew how the Gnosis came about.
It was made from the remains of Teyvat's third Descender.
If someone brought something so unlucky and powerless to Herta, it would be strange if she was happy.
[Tartaglia: Hmm?! Unlucky? The Gnosis is unlucky?]
[Neuvillette: That is truly a shocking statement.]
[Albert: I've only heard of the Vision, what is this Gnosis?]
[Rosaria: Don't ask about things you shouldn't know.]
[Yae Miko: Lord Takagi, why would you say such a thing? Is there some hidden secret within the Gnosis?]
[Scaramouche: I don't think there's any hidden secret, he just simply looks down on the Gnosis.
However, if any of you truly think the Gnosis is unlucky, you can hand it over to me, heh heh.]
[Yae Miko: If you address me respectfully, I might consider saying something to that person.]
[Scaramouche: Hmph, don't try to trick me.]
...
"Unlucky?"
"Lord Takagi, what do you mean by unlucky?"
Nahida looked up in surprise and asked Takagi.
If someone else said the Gnosis was unlucky, Nahida wouldn't care.
But since the person who said it was Takagi himself, Nahida had no choice but to continue asking.
Unfortunately, Takagi had no intention of continuing the discussion about the Gnosis.
"Don't worry about it, you just need to remember that people like Herta might be unhappy with someone who gives them a Gnosis."
"As for the rest, don't bother with it."
"As for the Gnosis and such, you can continue to use it if you need to."
"After all, this thing still holds some power for some people in Teyvat."
"Also, don't keep racking your brain trying to figure out what from Teyvat Herta might be interested in."
"Unless you can make up your mind to offer yourself to Herta."
"I think she would be interested in your identity as an Irminsul clone."
Takagi waved his hand and said.
Hearing this, Nahida fell silent.
Although Takagi glossed over the matter of the Gnosis, it made her even more concerned.
As for Takagi's suggestion of offering herself for Herta to research, she didn't think too much about it.
"Also, there's another point you need to seriously consider."
"If Herta agrees to set up a route between Teyvat and Herta Space Station."
"You'll need to think carefully about where the station in Teyvat should be located."
Takagi said, looking at Lisa, Cloud Retainer, and Nahida in front of him.
"For example, if the three of you want me to set up the Astral Express where you are."
"Not only do you need to be someone I admire, but you also need to be someone with influence in the local area."
"After all, if you don't have influence in the local area, how can you become the guarantor for the route I'm building and let me feel confident setting up the Astral Express there?"
"Of course, setting up the Astral Express requires some other conditions, but we won't discuss those for now."
Takagi squatted down, his eyes directly on Nahida.
"Your words indeed make me admire you."
"But you haven't met the second condition yet."
"Therefore, you cannot become the guarantor for the route I'm building."
Saying this, Takagi patted Nahida's shoulder meaningfully, then walked over to a nearby sofa and sat down.
[Kaveh: I see, a location is needed to set up the station. In that case, let's come to Sumeru.]
[Nilou: Yes, if Miss Nahida is willing to settle in Sumeru, I think the scholars of Sumeru would also welcome her.]
[Grand Sage Azar:...]
[Venti: Grand Sage, are you speechless? Don't you welcome Nahida? She's an Irminsul clone, you know.]
[Grand Sage Azar: Of... of course I welcome her.]
Azar clenched his fists, narrowly avoiding letting anger cloud his judgment.
"Calm down, calm down."
"I can't show disrespect towards Nahida, who is an Irminsul clone, right now."
"Calm down, calm down."
Azar took a deep breath and muttered to himself.
"You seem very worried that Takagi will let Nahida become the guarantor to establish an Astral Express route to Herta Space Station in Sumeru?"
Dottore asked with interest.
"Of course I'm worried."
"But I won't let Nahida succeed."
"Even if a route is to be established, I should be the one to become the guarantor."
"I believe Takagi will also be willing to accept me as the guarantor."
"When Takagi comes to Sumeru, I will personally give him a tour and introduce Sumeru."
Grand Sage Azar said with a determined expression.
"Heh heh, then I wish you good luck."
"I hope Takagi will like your way of giving tours."
Dottore shook his head and said casually.
Having observed Takagi for so long, he didn't think Takagi would like Azar's tour style.
On the contrary, the idea merchant Dori mentioned about using the dancer Nilou to give Takagi a tour might be more appealing to Takagi.
But seeing the Grand Sage's appearance, Dottore was too lazy to remind him now.
...
[Ningguang: If you are to set up a station in Teyvat, please Lord Takagi consider Liyue.]
[Beidou: Indeed, I believe Rex Lapis would be willing to let Cloud Retainer become his representative.]
[Xiangling: If Lord Takagi intends to establish a route to Herta Space Station in Liyue,
when Lord Takagi returns to Teyvat, the Geo Archon might even personally appear before Lord Takagi to become the guarantor.]
[Rosaria: If that's the case, the Grand Master, Acting Grand Master Jean, and the Anemo Archon should also be willing to let Lisa represent Mondstadt, right?]
[Dori: Hey, you guys from Mondstadt already have an Astral Express, don't be so worried!]
[Albedo: But we don't have an Astral Express route to Herta Space Station here.]
[Kaveh: Isn't having one going to Belobog enough? What you've seen and heard there should have already brought you a lot of help.]
[Lyney: Everyone is vying for it, does Fontaine also need to try and vie for it?]
[Neuvillette: Among the 5 passengers in front of Takagi, there are no Fontaine people. Even if we want to vie for it, the probability of success will be very small.]
[Pantalone: In that case, I think Snezhnaya can also rely on Signora and Dottore to vie for a chance for the Astral Express to be stationed in Snezhnaya?]
[Arlecchino: Dottore won't work, but I think Signora can give it a try.]
[Sangonomiya Kokomi: Is there a chance for the Astral Express to be stationed in Inazuma?]
[Raiden Shogun: Not allowed!]
[Sangonomiya Kokomi:...]
[Dori: As expected, it's best to set up the Astral Express right in front of my house.
Lord Takagi, are you reading the forum?]
[As long as you're willing to set up the Astral Express at my doorstep, I'll wear either black or white stockings!]
[Takagi: I'm not interested in lolis.]
[Dori: Ah, this...]
"Lord Takagi doesn't like women with loli figures?"
Nahida looked up, watching Takagi curiously.
"If it is a daughter, then a loli is fine."
"But if she were a wife, I think it would be better for her to be fuller and more mature."
Takagi looked up from the book and at Nahida.
"Speaking of which, you wouldn't be thinking of using the method Dori mentioned, would you?"
"If you have such thoughts, it's best to nip them in the bud quickly."
"I prefer you the way you are now."
Takagi said.
"Is that so..."
Nahida muttered.
"It seems that for a loli, wearing either black or white stockings won't attract Lord Takagi."
"Since that's the case, what if I change into some clothes you like?"
"Will that allow Takagi to set up a second Astral Express in Mondstadt?"
Lisa said playfully.
"That depends on how much you can attract me."
Takagi chuckled.
Hearing this, Lisa was about to speak when Signora's voice came over.
"Lord Takagi, I've obtained the materials to enhance the Light Cone from the Messenger."
Everyone turned to look at Signora, who was running over excitedly, holding a crystal bottle filled with pure energy.
"Is that so? Congratulations."
Takagi smiled, then told Signora how to use the enhancement materials.
After successfully enhancing the Light Cone according to Takagi's method, Signora's smile became even brighter.
After she finally calmed down,
She noticed that Lisa, Cloud Retainer, and Nahida were looking at her with strange expressions.
"Your gazes seem a bit impolite?"
"Is there something on me?"
Signora asked, frowning.
"No, you misunderstood."
"It's just that your new outfit is a bit noteworthy."
Cloud Retainer pushed up her glasses and said.
"New outfit?"
Signora frowned.
"Yes, especially the white stockings."
"Signora, it seems you came prepared."
Lisa said to Signora with a meaningful look.
Nahida stood aside, nodding in agreement, and said:
"Are you trying to increase the chances of Lord Takagi setting up a tourist route to the Herta Space Station in Snezhnaya this way?"
Hearing everyone's words, the confusion on Signora's face grew.
"What are you talking about? Why don't I understand what you mean?"
Signora frowned.
"Check the forum. You'll know after you read it."
Takagi reminded her.
Hearing this, Signora quickly checked the forum records and soon found the whole story.
"No, I didn't change into this outfit to increase the chances of Lord Takagi setting up the Astral Express in Snezhnaya."
"These clothes were just given to me by Asta."
Signora quickly said to Nahida and the others.
"Really? Don't you have any thoughts about having Takagi set up the Astral Express in Snezhnaya?"
Lisa asked with interest.
