[Genshin Impact] The World Bank Loan Manual

Blurb:

The transfer System 0001 is the only special System in the entire headquarters. Its purpose is to work with the "worlds." It lends people to them and collects interest like a "World Bank," so both sides benefit. In plain language:

0001: Borrow a person.

World: Fine. Pay up.

Host: (pulls out wallet)

"My name is Chiyo Wataru. I used to be called Chiyo Shun. I'm seventeen this year, and I'm about to die of cancer. ...Or at least, I was, until an artificial intelligence calling itself Transfer System 0001 came looking for me."

It said, "I finally found an 'anchor.' I almost got kicked out by the absolute rule. I've taken a commission from the 'Detective Conan world,' and the contract's already drawn up."

I recognized every word, but put together, they made no sense at all. What was that saying Mom always used? "When things get strange, something's bound to be going on!"

It said, "Hello, little one. You have the weakest 'traces of control.' What I'm about to tell you may sound unbelievable, but don't rush to argue."

It told me that our world was controlled by an entity known as the "author." Because ours was the main world, the author had absolute control over it. Compared to derivative worlds, we had very little freedom. Our world had seen its own hopeless future, so it signed a contract with 0001 and asked it to help.

Okay, I get it. So how do we save the world? I think I might die first.

"It's very simple. You just need to pull cards."

A new funeral home opened in Beika, called Wangsheng Funeral Parlor. Why choose Beika? As the parlor's director put it: "Beika is truly a place blessed with outstanding people and good fortune. It would be a waste not to stay here."

Its guardian and guest consultant, Mr. Zhongli of Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, said, "That child Hu Tao... I can't handle her..."

A new star in the world of detective work rose in Tokyo. Criminals called him a "storm." The highly skilled Shikanoin Heizou spread his hands helplessly and said, "Why do criminals always try to resist? Can't they just let themselves be arrested?"

A new god of death appeared in the Black Organization. The name Abaron struck fear into its members, and he joined Gin on the list of people they least wanted to see. Gin would shoot you dead without a word. Abaron would smile and chat while stabbing you. He was the strangest oddball in the organization. Who goes onstage to perform when they have free time, anyway?

I'll do my best to keep them in character. These aren't secret identities being acted out, but real people, at least halfway.
