Chapter 239: two Sisters run from the pursuit of a giant sword
"Uh..." Kevin shot a quick glance at Elysia. He wanted to protest, to say he was innocent, but something told him Elysia wasn't about to let this go.
She is always like this, full of unnecessary energy and curiosity about some less important things
——In other words, there was no way she was going to miss out on a chance like this.
So, after a moment's hesitation, he decided the best response was no response.
Silence speaks volumes, right?
" Oh ~, you and Kosma are really looking more and more like each other. "
Elysia touched her smooth chin and complained softly.
She mused to herself for a moment. 'Seriously though, why is it so hard to find a guy around here who's a little more... talkative? Either they clam up or they go on rants that won't quit. Ah well, at least there are plenty of cute girls to keep me entertained! ♪ '
She winked with exaggerated emphasis. "No big deal, no big deal..."
Between Kevin's brooding silence and…whatever was going on with Su, she'd be bored out of her mind.
Speaking of Su, he closed his eyes with a dramatic sigh that would've been funny if he wasn't so clearly annoyed.
The poor guy was still trying to figure out why on Earth they'd left him behind on the last rescue mission.
Seriously, he was the team doctor! Did they forget?
Or was he right to wonder? Could it be that... is it really like Elysia said that it is inconvenient because the patient is a woman? Or...was he just that forgettable? Ouch.
...
In the dubbing room, there was another Seele who did not forget to bewitch her and tried to overthrow Bronya's status.
[Hmph, that so-called big sis only cares about her roaring metal monster of a motorcycle!]
[Seele, only I will always be here for you, always.]
The anxiety bubbled beneath the surface. It wasn't hard to guess why, was it?
Seele and Bronya were thicker than thieves lately, their late-night study sessions practically a daily ritual now.
And she, she, could only watch!
It's so abominable!
The two of them were actually like this, even Seele was saying,
'Study is important, so don't make things worse other me'
'other me, even if you say so, I have to hand it in tomorrow, so there's really nothing I can do about it.'
And THEN... then they had to get all cozy, right in front of me!
Did you pretend 'I' were blind and didn't see it? Like I'm some potted plant in the corner or something?
Bronya's hands all over Seele's chest, their legs practically intertwined… I mean, why the body contact? You're just studying, right?
And what's with this sudden blushing in a perfectly air-conditioned room? It's like 20 degrees Celsius in here; shouldn't you be freezing?
" Uh--, that's just the boss's prank, Bronya onee-chan… wouldn't be obsessed with a vehicle like that," Seele tried to convince herself, more than anyone else.
[Haha, that's not necessarily the case, Seele, looking at Bronya 's expression, she obviously cares about it]
[And hey, watch your back when you're out and about with those classmates of yours. Trust me, some of those people are total wolves in sheep's clothing… Bad woman]
" But, everyone is a very good person... Obviously you told me to have more contact with other people last time, so I made a lot of friends in the class ~"
Seele folded her hands on her chest and said with a smile, her beautiful big eyes filled with trust and expectation.
Well——, her life has been very happy recently, much happier than in the past,
except for that other part of her who keeps grumbling, and the mind-numbing advanced math homework...
[Ugh, idiot...what I meant was spend more time talking to ME. What does hanging out with Elysia and Mei have to do with anything?] Veliona muttered under her breath in their shared mental space.
"Sister Bronya does seem a bit obsessed with that motorcycle," Seele sighed, glancing worriedly at Bronya who stared intently at the picture.
Her fingers curled nervously, a touch of distress in her voice.
" However, it's obvious that she always fails the driver's license test. She speeds when she gets to key places. It's really nerve-wracking. "
[ That's right, you don't need a driver's license, so don't bother pestering Seele! ] the voice in the darkness agreed, a hint of satisfaction in her tone.
Veliona thought persuasion was hopeless, but unexpectedly it turned out to be a turnaround.
// Really, I have the nerve to say that I am smart, even though I have a driver's license, I can't bear the motorcycle in front of me driving at such a slow speed that I overtake it with a single slip of my hand. Hum hum, one man are defeated. //
This time, it's Police Officer KEVIN in action! ----
" It really doesn't work... Seele can only get a driver's license to drive Sister Bronya. There is nothing we can do about it. "
Seele said so.
[ah? Um? —— ]
[What, I don't agree, Seele, I can give you a lift! ]
---
Scene continues, and this time the scene of Kiana [meteoric salvation] appears.
Otto still said his monolog in background.
"Some people spend their lives saving others just to fulfill their own promises."
"The light of the shooting star is so dazzling that everyone rushes to chase it."
"Either they covet the dazzling starlight, or they just want to save this meteor."
"Since there is competition, there will always be a loser."
Suddenly, a meteor plummets to earth! A Durandal look-alike (mini-sized, of course) sprints toward the meteor path and snatches it up.
Turns out, that meteor is actually Kiana, all curled up like a little rice dumpling in her floor mattress. Durandal skips down the road, humming cheerfully, her eyes twinkling like a pair of happy little moons.
Mei trails behind, a picture of pure desperation. Those tiny hands flail, trying to snatch at Durandal who's whisking 'dumpling Kiana' away.
Poor Mei can't even grab the edge of Durandal's BattleSuit, left trailing in the dust.
She's still clutching Kiana's jacket, and let me tell you, it's the most heart-breaking thing you've ever seen.
Mei's face screws up, getting ready to unleash a full-blown cry-fest – the works, full-on waterworks, the whole shebang.
---
" Ah this..."
Mei, who was watching from the sidelines, scratched her cheek with her fingers at the right time. She felt a little helpless, but she didn't know how to describe her mood at this time.
In short, it is very complicated.
Moreover, it cannot be stated clearly.
"Boss, it's not good for you ~"
Kiana chimes in, giving Luo Mo a side-eye. She leans over to Mei, squeezing her arm in a silent "there, there" kind of way.
Then she put her hands on her hips and looked at Luo Mo dissatisfied.
"What's gotten into you? Ruining everything for my Mei!" Kiana cries, staring at the screen where Mei's about to lose it.
"Whoa there, tiger," Luo Mo says, a teasing glint in his eye. "She's your family already? Ready to change her last name to Kaslana, huh?"
Kiana's face flushes bright red, but she seizes the moment. "You bet!" she declares, anger fueling her bold confession. This is her chance to get Mei on board with their totally-not-a-date!
"Wait, Kiana – don't go making promises for me!" Mei protests.
[The official version strikes first! Looks like Durandal's the real MVP here]
[Cue the baby duckling! Mei's hot on her heels, this is hilarious.]
[Am I the only one who feels that Kiana can indeed be called Salted tuna now? wrapped in quilt and jumping up and down, so cute]
---
"But the desire for important people to return to the light seems to be stronger."
" For this reason, she did not hesitate to throw herself into the darkness."
"Even if you become a sinner, you must cut off the shackles of fate."
Mei trips over a rock, a clumsy moment that kinda mirrors her own rough path forward. Just then, the other figure vanishes from the screen.
Durandal, still clutching dumpling-Kiana, spins around– even the sleepy Kiana wakes up with a jolt. One look behind them, and Kiana's face does a complete 180 from sleepy confusion to wide-eyed terror.
Why the panic? Well, here comes Mei again, sword held high, looking like she's finally had enough of this nonsense.
Her eyes burn a furious crimson, and those horns on her head? Definitely not for decoration today. The sword flashes wildly, and wouldn't you know it, Kiana and Durandal pull off the most perfectly mirrored expressions – wide-eyed, terrified, the whole shebang.
Durandal, in a moment of self-preservation, throws Kiana sky-high like a hot potato.
Cue the most ridiculous image: the chibi art style melts away, replaced with stick figures. Underneath that blazing sunset, you see a tiny Durandal sprinting for dear life.
But here's the best part: Kiana, bless her heart, is left flailing on the ground. Picture a dumpling trying to do the worm. That's Kiana, desperately trying to inch forward that make everyone laugh.
Meanwhile, Mei charges in the back is holding a 40- meter -long sword. The sword is a bit too tall and exceeds the scope of the screen.
As the sword slashed down, the tip of the sword just hit Kiana.
Suddenly, the scene shifts – time for the dramatic finale! Kiana tumbles amidst the ruins, striking a pose straight out of "Lament of the Fallen."
---
" puff-- "
A giggle breaks the silence, then another...soon the whole room is roaring with laughter.
As for those who dare to be the first, of course...
" Boss " Mei's eyes were full of resentment, she took her right hand to hold her flying hair behind her ear, and asked calmly, " Why are you still smiling in the video you made ? "
Mei thought to herself, she is not that cruel, right? Why did Kiana see the same expression on her as Durandal?
There is also a 40- meter -long sword... No matter how you think about it, it doesn't match her temperament, right?
"Oops, sorry! Couldn't help it – something hilarious just popped into my head." Luo Mo lowers his hand, stifling a last giggle from his earlier laughing fit.
"Speaking of hilarious," Mei shoots a look at Bronya, who's regained her usual poker face. "Care to share what you find so amusing, Bronya?"
" No, no, Sister Mei, because... I haven't seen Sister Mei with such a troubled expression for a long time, and I find it very interesting. " Bronya told the truth, from the bottom of her heart,
Bronya has this theory: a good game really gets your emotions going.
She's still working on that whole "empathy" thing, but hey, maybe someday she'll design a game so infuriating she can make this boss cry! That'll teach him a lesson about messing with people.
8 year revenge promise!
"Alright, alright, I get it," Mei sighs, feeling the beginnings of a stress headache. At least there's one person in this mess she might be able to reason with.
Then she said in a light voice, the only person she could control, "So, Kiana, what about you ~"
"No way, Mei, your face was priceless!" Kiana flashes her a mischievous grin, eyes sparkling. "You totally looked ready to chase me to the ends of the earth. Honestly, you should see yourself!"
...
"You don't see Lady Durandal let her guard down like that often. All that seriousness melts away, and she's surprisingly adorable," Rita remarks. She gives Durandal a sidelong glance, a hint of amusement in her eyes.
Of course, Rita's mind is ticking over. Her access to Durandal's vitals is top-notch. She knows exactly what hasn't changed – no sudden growth spurt, no extra pounds. So, what's got Durandal acting out of character?
" Uh, hehe, "
Durandal scratched her head, completely unaware that Rita had scanned her body, " In game terms, I went a little too far with Mei."
" But maybe you are also sisters in the game, so wouldn't it mean that the older sister takes care of the younger sister? So, don't worry ~ Lord Durandal. "
The corners of Rita's eyes were crooked, and a teardrop under her eyes added to her softness.
Durandal frowned, seeming to be thinking about that possibility, and then returned to the topic,
" Compared to this, Rita... do you feel that the Kongming seems to have unclear feelings for you? "
" Oh? Are you starting to worry about me? Don't worry, Rita will always be by your side..."
Rita was stunned for a moment, then smiled. She didn't expect that she would be careful sometimes, and she would still use it on her.
Rita dips into a graceful bow, her form a perfect curve. Leaning in, her lips ghost Durandal's ear, the warmth of her breath sending a shiver down Durandal's spine. "Don't you worry, I'll handle it," she purrs.
"U-uh, Rita," Durandal stammers, ears turning a subtle shade of pink. "Speaking of which, that World Serpent contact is due soon. Might want to, uh, prepare for that."
" The traces of changing the topic are somewhat obvious, Lord Durandal. "

And the sound ends here. Although it has a lingering flavor, the story does come to an end for the time being, and the main plot that has been broadcast in the past just ends here.
" Their story has not yet come to an end."
"The story of Honkai continues as well."
" Let us wait and see where the future road will extend. "
---
" Hmm ~, although I don't quite understand it, the master said that this is the general development of the world, and it can be used as a reference..."
Cheng Lixue touched her chin and said,
In the video, many people she is familiar with have left the World, including Lady Cecilia, the Second Herrscher, etc., and it seems that the Herrscher of the Void has recovered in the later period?
But she didn't expect that the person who brought the most incredible feeling was the person she was most familiar with.
"In other words, if the video is correct, is the master actually the kind of person who lived 50,000 years ago? "
"It's... unimaginable."
across Cheng Lixue's eyes. Although her legs were still difficult to get off the ground, she was in a surprisingly good mood.
If you have this status, no one can hurt Master, right?
" By the way, I don't know how Shigure, and the others are doing?"
There was a hint of sadness in her eyes,
However, it is already a miracle that she can survive, so what qualifications do he have to ask for anything else?
...
" Speaking of which, I haven't been able to visit Cheng Lixue for so long. I wonder how she is doing? I hope she won't blame me ~"
Cecilia slipped on a white windbreaker and picked a pair of comfy trousers. As she hummed a little tune, she debated which hat to wear.
Her dressing room was practically a wardrobe wonderland – a girl's gotta have options, right? Especially since becoming neighbors with Elysia, her closet had exploded with a riot of pink.
Although... I always feel that it is weird to pass it on, that kind of clothes... is it suitable for my daughter to wear?
But the other party always looked enthusiastic, and it was hard for me to refuse.
" She is such a passionate girl. She also knows how to measure her words. It is always hard to refuse what she says at the right time. "
She smiled helplessly. If only her daughters could be as mature as each other, she would be relieved.
Cecilia gave a playful sigh and picked out a wide-brimmed sun hat. "Well, Sirin, what do you think? Does this make me look like a glamorous movie star? ♪ " A girlish grin spread across her face.
"... Oh, mom looks good in anything she wears. " Sirin sighed as she stood on the door.
"Then, why do you look disappointed? Is there something unhappy you want to share with me? "
"Mom ~, don't imitate that woman's speech. It's weird. I always feel that the other person has bad intentions. "
Sirin took a big bite of her apple, staring at the plain ceiling. Ugh, there was just no way to avoid this whole Second Honkai mess, was there?
"What do you mean, impossible? Are you telling me Magical Girl Sirin-chan doesn't dream of dazzling those Honkai Beasts with a killer concert? Remember when you obsessed over Shigure...?" Cecilia teased with a playful Smile.
"Mom! Don't bring up my embarrassing idol phase," Sirin groaned, a blush creeping onto her cheeks.
Who knew there were so many scandals during her pursuit of stars stage? If I had known... If I had known, I would have pursued Teriri earlier.
As a result, the other party gave up within a few years, and I could only hold on to my own collector's edition to reflect on it from time to time.
even inexplicable phone calls offering a sky-high price to take back the items in my hands, but how could I agree to it!
" Well, since you insist on not going this time, let me go visit Cheng Lixue ~"
Cecilia put on her beige boots and smiled behind the door.
"Well then, Sirin darling, I'm off! Don't miss me too much."
"Mmm-hmm," Sirin grunted, a masterclass in teenage indifference, her eyes still glued to whatever was on her screen.
