Oh, God of Fun! I'm truly impressed by you two old fools!

"This is the situation we are facing now."

"Everyone, do you understand?"

Walter shared his deductions with everyone.

"So this is what fate and the messenger are like!"

Oleg, Natasha, and Bronya all nodded.

Clearly, they have basically figured out what destiny and command mean.

Bronya glanced to the side casually.

Seele: zzzZZZ...

Bronya: ...

"Seele, wake up! (very quietly)"

Seele opened her eyes, looking completely bewildered, like a college student who had slept until the end of get out of class and was woken up by a friend.

"Huh? Is get out of class over?"

"Come on, Bronya, let's go eat."

"..."

"Be serious, Seele."

"In a meeting!"

"Oh dear, that so-called destiny, it's such a hassle."

"Anyway, all we need to do is defeat all the enemies in front of us, right?"

……

As expected of Seele?

That really suits her personality.

After explaining the current situation, Walter and Danheng also went over their current countermeasures.

After hearing that Xi Yao was also a Commander,

Bronya & Seele:!!!∑(ﾟДﾟノ)ノ

So Xi Yao is this strong?

Ultimately, under Walter's arrangement, everyone had a clear division of labor.

Earthfire is responsible for guarding against the Rift monsters roaming around Rocky Town and preventing the Rift from eroding at any time.

Seele and Bronya were tasked with finding Xiyao and asking for her help.

Walter contacted Himeko, asking her to bring weapons and come down to provide support.

Xi Yao wasn't originally planning to agree so quickly,

Unfortunately, Bronya and Seele launched a pincer attack from both sides.

It completely confused Xi Yaoxiang.

He almost suffocated in their warm embrace.

We can't hold on any longer!

Who can stand this!

then,

The helpful Xi Yao readily agreed to help.

Soon,

Himeko arrived as scheduled after receiving Welt's message.

"Himeko!"

March 7th waved excitedly.

Hoshino threw herself into Himeko's arms and shouted.

"mom!"

"Alright, Ah Xing, stop being so cute."

Despite saying that, Himeko didn't stop Hoshino; instead, she affectionately patted her head.

Xing was immediately pleased and even gave Xi Yao a provocative look.

It's as if it's saying: Look!

Himeko's mother loves me!

You can't take away her love for me.

Xi Yao smiled and didn't bother to argue with her.

You are mine!

Your mom is mine too!

They're all mine!

Hehehe~

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Walter adjusted his glasses and said:

"Now that Himeko has arrived, we should set off too!"

"Yay!"

"Finally, it's time for the boss battle!"

"A development without a boss battle is incomplete!"

Xing's eyes shone brightly, and she seemed very excited.

March 7: (¬_¬)ﾉ

"Are you playing a video game?"

"Still a boss battle?"

Just as everyone was preparing to leave, Xi Yao quickly came to Ji Zi's side and took her arm.

Himeko looked at her gently and said:

"What's wrong, little one?"

"The final battle is about to begin, and Yuyao has a gift for Himeko-neechan~"

A hint of surprise flashed across Himeko's face.

"What gift?"

"Clang! Clang!"

"This is it!"

As she spoke, Xi Yao slowly pulled out a large, orange-red sword from behind her back.

"Hey, this sword is called Godfall Sword - Surtr!"

"Himeko-neechan, you gave me so much coffee last time, so I'm giving it to you this time!"

Himeko took the greatsword from Xiyao's hand in a daze.

For some reason, she felt that the orange-red greatsword in her hand was somewhat familiar.

Although she was used to the small weapons in the toolbox, she didn't feel any discomfort holding the greatsword in her hand.

There's even a strange kind of liking for it.

She gently stroked the sword, and the Divine Fall Sword trembled slightly, as if in response to her.

Very cool!

It's just... I don't know why I suddenly have this urge to teach other people.

Unexpectedly, Xi Yao actually returned the gift to me.

What a good child!

Himeko didn't take that impulsive thought to heart. She sheathed the Godfall Sword and smiled gently, saying:

"Thank you, Xiyao."

"I... really like this greatsword."

"It's beautiful!"

"Of course!"

Xi Yao smiled smugly, revealing two sharp little tiger teeth, which looked very cute.

"This is a gift I picked out myself!"

"However, this greatsword is quite heavy to wield, so please handle it with care~"

"mom!"

Himeko: ?

What's wrong with me today?

Why do they all like to call me "Mom"?

Well, although they're both a bit naughty, they're both good kids, so let them be called that.

Himeko affectionately patted Xiyao's head, letting her bury her head in her broad chest.

Well……

I can't breathe!

So boring!

The star at this moment: ᗜ‸ᗜ

"Xing, what kind of expression is that?"

"Pfft~ Hahahaha!"

Seeing Xing's aggrieved yet angry expression, March 7th couldn't help but laugh.

Xing directly cosplayed as a certain catgirl and performed a void parry:

"I didn't cry or make a scene!"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

"You didn't!"

"Pfft~"

March 7th was trying hard not to laugh.

Dan Heng crossed his arms, looking helpless.

I'm really fed up with these clowns.

Star: o(≧口≦)o

Meanwhile, on the other side, Walter shuddered upon hearing that name.

No?

wait?

What did she just say was the name of that sword?

Holy crap, the Godfall Sword Surtr!

A familiar red-haired figure wielding a familiar greatsword.

The scene gradually overlapped with the one Walter remembered.

First up are the familiar mother and daughter, Cocolia and Bronya!

Then it was Seele and Natasha!

Even Himeko has now taken up a familiar weapon.

Are you kidding me!

What exactly is going on with this planet?

Why do I see so many familiar faces everywhere?

The constructed memories always attack him in inexplicable ways!

Ah ah ah ah ah!

The damn Honkai is still chasing me!

Old Yang, eyes gleaming, a relieved smile, sweat on his face.jpg!

and many more!

How did Xi Yao know the name of this sword?

hiss~

Could she be... someone from the same hometown?

Let's test her!

Walter asked, feigning curiosity:

"Xi Yao, where did you get this greatsword?"

"this?"

Xi Yao waved her hand casually and explained:

"This was made by me and Sister Heita, imitating one of the rare items in her collection."

"How is it? Pretty, right?"

"Let me tell you, this greatsword looks incredibly cool when wielded!"

Upon hearing Xi Yao's words, March 7 seemed to remember something, tilting her head and stroking her chin as she recalled:

"Yes!"

"At the place where I met Xing, there was indeed a similar collectible, placed right next to Xing's baseball bat."

"However, it looks like just a few fragments."

Walter: ...

How to reconstruct an identical Godslayer Sword Surtr from several fragments?

Although it doesn't seem very plausible, considering Lady Black Tower's identity as an envoy of wisdom...

It's not impossible.

After thinking it over, Walter asked the second question that had been on his mind.

"So, is there a deeper meaning behind choosing this name?"

"name?"

Xi Yao pretended not to know anything and said:

"No!"

"The name is copied directly from Sister Black Tower's Record of Curious Things."

Of course, this is fake.

Xi Yao said it casually, just to fool Walter.

When you don't know how to explain something, you can always blame it on the Black Tower.

Black Tower: ?

How come I didn't know my collection was called that?

Xi Yao: Now you know.

Black Tower: 6!

"I see."

"I see."

Walter nodded.

"Let's go, the contact person from the Earth Fire is already waiting for us."

"Don't keep them waiting too long."

Ciallo～(∠・ω＜)⌒★

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Sambo hummed a little tune, his steps were very light, and he seemed to be very happy.

Sure enough, there are still more traitors in the upper class!

With just a casual remark, someone actually offered 200,000 Winter City Shields!

Just then, the Earth Fire side asked me to bring those outsiders back to the upper level.

I took this opportunity to legitimately bring the famous painting up for the transaction!

That's two hundred thousand Winter City Shields!

We're rich! We're rich!

Hahahahaha!

Sambo looked around and, after confirming that no one was around, turned left and right and came to an empty alley.

Sambo took out the key, opened the door, and entered the secret room.

very good!

The famous painting is still there!

Without hesitation, Sambo put the famous painting away.

I used up all my Winter City shields on this trip to the upper levels.

Let's take some more from our first little stash.

Sambo thought so.

So he opened the hidden compartment under the bed.

next second...

He was dumbfounded.

No?

Where is my secret stash of money?

Even the box is gone?

……

In just a moment, Sambo guessed who was behind it.

After all, only followers of the god of pleasure would be capable of doing such a thing.

no doubt!

This must have been done by Spark and Xi Yao!

Oh, God of Fun!

I'm truly impressed by you two old fools!

spark:?

What does this have to do with me?

I didn't take it!

Xi Yao: Hehe~

...
