Holy crap! How did Black General manage to dodge that?

Black Tower Space Station

Inside the Black Tower's laboratory.

"Done!"

Xi Yao clapped her hands and nodded in satisfaction.

"Now, all the key props needed for the performance are ready."

There were two things floating in the air in front of Xi Yao.

On the left is a large red sword with a deep red blade and an orange-colored tip.

The gauntlets feature an asymmetrical, flame-wing-like design, spreading outwards like the wings of a phoenix rising from the ashes, with an energy core embedded in the center.

Godfall Sword - Surtr (Joyful Version)

On the right is a pale blue crystal, emitting a faint glow.

The Core of Reason (Enjoyment Version)

These two items are the "key props" that Xi Yao made using materials from the Black Tower Space Station.

Of course, besides these, Xi Yao also made some small toys.

"With these, the rest of the script is sure to be fantastic!"

"I'm really looking forward to it!"

"Hehe~"

Ciallo～(∠・ω＜)⌒★

Star Train

Observation carriage.

Xing and March 7th were chatting on the sofa.

Himeko walked over carrying two cups of coffee.

"Xing, would you like to try my coffee? It's my specialty."

A gentle smile graced her face, and a hint of hope even flickered in her eyes.

"Wow!"

"It smells so good!"

Xing seemed to transform into a little raccoon, her eyes shining brightly.

Seeing her eager expression, March 7th couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"Um...that."

"Xing, why don't you reconsider?"

"This coffee might not taste as good as you think."

"I need a coffee to cleanse my teeth right now!"

The Star Core Spirit stood on all fours, sticking out its tongue, its face full of anticipation.jpg

……

Well, you didn't listen to a word I said!

March 7th looked helpless.

What was that saying again?

It's hard to reason with a damned devil.

Himeko happily placed two cups of "poisonous craftsmanship" coffee on the table.

Xing picked up a cup of coffee and downed it in one gulp.

"Duang!"

as predicted.

Xing instantly stood at attention, then fell straight down.

Being young is great!

I fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow!

Walter sighed silently.

Himeko's coffee isn't for everyone.

He had only taken a small sip when it damaged his esophagus.

We still don't understand what kind of coffee could damage the esophagus of a lychee-loving person.

That shouldn't be happening!

I thought it tasted really good, so why is it like this?

With a silent sigh, Himeko helped Hoshi, who had fallen into a baby-like sleep, onto the sofa.

Time is like a holiday; it always seems to disappear in the blink of an eye.

After feeling herself circle around Black General's face, Xingyou slowly woke up.

Only then did she realize that her head was lying on Himeko's lap.

"Little guy, you woke up just in time. The jump is about to begin."

Himeko patted Hoshi's head and smiled gently.

Hoshi stared blankly at the gentle and beautiful Himeko in front of him. For some reason, lying on her lap gave him a very safe feeling.

It's like... lying in your mother's arms.

For some reason, Xing sat up and involuntarily shouted:

"mom!"

"?"

Oh my God!

What did I hear?

What did Hoshi just call Himeko?

The person next to him, March 7th, held his head in his hands, looking utterly shocked.

Ouch I'm going!

I'd better sit up and take a good look!

Walter, who was watching videos, slowly sat up straight, his eyes involuntarily glancing over.

Himeko paused for a moment when she heard Hoshi address her, then smiled even more gently.

She gently tapped Xing's head and said softly:

"Little one, I'm glad you trust and rely on me so much."

"But it's not right to call someone 'Mom' casually!"

"Oh, okay."

Just then, a voice rang in everyone's ears.

"Hi? Did you miss me?♪"

"?"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and found that Xi Yao had appeared in the carriage at some point!

"Hello everyone, Sister Himeko, Uncle Yang, Sister March 7th, Wang Dahe~"

"Xi Yao is here to travel with everyone~"

"OK!"

"You dare come to Pattaya!"

Pam shuffled around, glaring angrily at Xi Yao in front of her.

"Oh, don't be so angry~"

"I'm sorry, train conductor, Xi Yao already knows she was wrong."

"The train conductor is the cutest and kindest!"

"You definitely won't hold it against Xiao Xiyao, right?"

Xi Yao pouted and looked pitifully at Pam, seemingly realizing her mistake.

"Hmm, it seems that passenger Xiyao has realized her mistake."

"In that case, I, the train conductor, will forgive you."

Hearing Xi Yao's praise, Pam nodded in satisfaction.

"There absolutely mustn't be a next time!"

"Don't worry, conductor!"

Xi Yao solemnly assured him.

But after Pam left with small, quick steps, Xi Yao's lips curled up almost imperceptibly by a few pixels.

Knowing you're wrong doesn't mean you have to correct it.

Secondly, what does knowing I made a mistake have to do with my hands?

Little Pam is still too naive.

Take it easy~

Hehe~

"You said you wanted to travel with us?"

"May I?"

Xi Yao held Ji Zi's hand, gazing at her expectantly, trying to get away with being cute.

"It is possible."

"However, you're not allowed to cause trouble on the train."

The Star Train never turns away any passenger who wants to embark on a pioneering journey.

Moreover, Himeko felt that Xiyao was just a little mischievous, but not inherently bad.

So she agreed anyway.

"Don't worry, Himeko-neechan."

"How could Xiao Xiyao, who is so well-behaved and adorable, cause trouble?"

I agree that she's cute, but as for being well-behaved...

This is open to discussion.

Walter thought so.

"Wow!"

"Did Himeko-neechan make this coffee?"

Xi Yao looked at the other cup of fragrant coffee on the table, her eyes filled with curiosity.

Seeing that Xi Yao was interested in her coffee, Ji Zi's eyes lit up.

"If you like it, take it and drink it."

"Huh? Is that okay?"

"sure."

"Thank you, Himeko-neechan~"

Xi Yao picked up her coffee.

But I didn't drink it directly.

Instead, they began to observe.

This "unique craft" coffee doesn't look any different from ordinary coffee.

Although we had already foreseen Xing's fate.

But Xi Yao was still very curious.

Is Himeko's coffee really as terrible as rumored?

or?

Try?

It shouldn't be a problem to take a small sip, right?

Out of caution, she brought the coffee to her lips and took a small sip.

The coffee was very smooth on the palate.

Isn't this normal...?

Holy crap! How did Blackie manage to dodge that?!

An indescribable smell rushed straight to Xi Yao's head.

The poor girl rolled her eyes instantly.

He collapsed into Himeko's arms.

March 7th silently shook his head.

Sometimes people are like that; even knowing it's dangerous, they still want to try it out because of their strong curiosity.

He died as a result of trying it.

Looking at Xi Yao in her arms, Ji Zi sighed, her expression full of helplessness.

Even Xi Yao, who is the envoy, can't accept my coffee?

It’s weird.

I thought it tasted pretty good, so why did everyone else react so strongly?

Xi Yao fainted because she drank her coffee.

There was nothing else she could do but hold her in her arms and wait for her to wake up.

Suddenly, she felt Xi Yao in her arms convulse.

Her face was... being rubbed around a bit.

Himeko: ...

"How are you feeling?"

"Big and soft."

"?"

"Duang!"

"Ouch!"

...

P.S.: Dates are still in short supply!

Have a happy day today!

[Joyful Ideas Recruitment Office]: ...

Indeed, curiosity killed the cat.

Xiao Xiyao messed up for the first time!

By the way, if you cuties were transported to Honkai Impact 3rd, would you want to try Himeko's coffee?

In addition, I believe some observant cuties have already noticed something.

That's right, The Last Lesson and Yang Chaoyue are coming soon!

As for what else~

Can you guess?

Hehe~

Finally, thank you all for reading and for the gifts!

Are you all taking exams recently?

Wishing everyone the best of luck on the exam, and may you guess all the questions correctly!

Love you guys!
