Miss Riddler just wants to level up in peace.

"Sister Ziyao...you are more amazing than I imagined. Bronya underestimated you. I'm so sorry."

Thinking back to how I had just offered to help, wasn't that completely unnecessary and even spoiled my sister's enjoyment?

Bronya blushed slightly, knowing that her actions had caused trouble.

Now that we've dealt with the Honkai Beasts, it's time to leave.

She could tell that Ziyao couldn't withstand the cold, but as a Valkyrie, she was fine.

Ding.

The communicator received a message from Tesla.

[I'm really sorry, but Chicken Head and I have something to do the day after tomorrow. We probably won't be able to attend the banquet. There's been a serious crisis in the Middle East...]

[Bronya: Understood. Please feel free to ask Bronya for help if needed.]

[Tesla: Thumbs up emoji]

Oh right, that super-strong woman from earlier must have been a fake...

Bronya ignored the subsequent messages; she couldn't possibly mistake her sister.

Putting away the communicator, the girl hugged Ziyao's hand from the side.

"Sister, let's go back. Mei should be having dinner ready soon. Don't keep her waiting too long."

However, Ziyao did not leave, but stood there stunned.

"Are you hurt?"

Bronya quickly checked and found that apart from a broken section of hair, there were no other visible wounds.

Or is it an internal injury?

"Neither... how should I put it..."

I feel a little embarrassed, but since it's Bronya, it should be fine.

As she spoke, Ziyao revealed the real reason.

"I used too much force just now, and my panties got torn."

The girl held a wad of white cloth in her hand, her tone filled with helplessness, as she was wearing casual clothes.

She failed the most basic B-rank Valkyrie exam and therefore does not have her own armor.

When fighting, if you use too much force, with a tearing sound, Pantyhose ends its mission.

The bottom of the skirt felt cool, and a breeze blew past from time to time, making the sensation quite noticeable.

In this situation, in this place, I feel a bit like... Lin Chong?

Honestly, trying to stay cool under my skirt while riding the motorcycle back to base was... a very embarrassing thing.

The girl could clearly feel the icy texture, so she had to press down on her skirt and tuck it inside as a divider.

After this small battle, Ziyao roughly understood the effect of [Instant Enhancement].

In summary, it consumes mana to increase various positive stats by a percentage.

Most importantly, it not only strengthens oneself but also brings benefits to others.

No wonder the skill has a colored rarity. Wait, does that mean I'm still a support character?

I thought I could be a henchman, but upon calming down, I realized that wasn't the case.

Her foundation was already weak, so increasing it by 20% or 30% wouldn't make much difference.

For powerful individuals, these enhancements are crucial.

"Bronya, did you throw away your sister's panties?"

Not long ago, she was about to throw away that useless piece of cloth, but was stopped by the rule that she shouldn't litter.

Bronya accepted it and said she would help her throw it away.

If it were anyone else, like Kiana or Mei, Ziyao would definitely suspect that there were ulterior motives.

But the simple-minded Bronya is different. She is true to herself and, apart from being a little too straightforward and stubborn, she is really a very good girl.

Ziyao dislikes looking at the favorability indicator because seeing it makes her unable to help but care, and caring about it will subconsciously lead her to make other decisions with impure motives. This makes her feel like she's playing with other people's feelings, and she feels like a bad woman.

If nothing unexpected happens, Bronya's favorability rating should be stuck at 80, which is a symbol of a close friend, so there's no need to worry.

If you want to avoid the troublesome Kiana or Mei and have some peace and quiet, hiding near Bronya is probably a good option.

"Rest assured, Bronya will dispose of it harmlessly."

Looking at Ziyao's pretty face through the rearview mirror, the girl thought to herself, "It's so wonderful that I can have such a close relationship with my sister."

I don't have any family now, so having a younger sister wouldn't be a burden at all; on the contrary, I would be very happy.

The girl's exact words were light and casual, yet they stirred her heart.

Unwavering trust and reliance—these were reflected in those clear eyes.

Bronya avoided looking in the rearview mirror, feeling ashamed of herself.

—Bronya is no good sister.

She thought to herself.

Even though her older sister is so gentle, she still wanted to do something inappropriate to her.

It's not a vague fantasy, but a clear understanding of what one is doing, with each step meticulously planned to achieve the best results, luring one into the abyss.

I want to make the relationship closer, until I reach the places where the sun can't shine.

Am I being stubborn?

Seeing how close her older sister and Mei were, and seeing that she really... only saw herself as a younger sister.

I'm both happy and feeling a bit down.

The thoughts that followed seemed to carry a vengeful emotion, yet were so tender.

What exactly is this? It's so complicated. There are countless similar descriptions in the database, but I can't find an answer that fits my own thoughts.

Back at the manor, Mei told them that the two doctors had left urgently at noon.

"The food smells so good! I love Mei the most!"

The paramecium followed the scent to the restaurant and hugged Mei from behind, saying happily.

“…”

Bronya keenly noticed that Kiana was acting strangely.

Why did you change your clothes?

Volume 1: Chapter 228 Bronya on the Boundary Line (Part 1)

The dolls are being retrieved, and Ziyao wakes up in Kiana's bed.

The phone screen was lit up, showing a new message from Mebius.

【？？？、？？】

It's all gibberish and characters; I can't understand what was sent at all.

Scrolling down, she found that, like Bronya, she had also received a message from Tesla saying that he could not attend the celebration party the day after tomorrow.

What will happen next?

Headache.

The events that occur after the individual character storylines become very vague, and all of them end in a bad ending.

Through Rita's elopement storyline, it is learned that a Herrscher capable of manipulating consciousness will appear, Otto's plan enters its final stage, and Schicksal is thrown into great chaos....

Having lost sight of the future, from now on, every step must be taken steadily and surely.

Upon arriving in the lobby, Seele was helping Mei clear away the dishes and brought up the issue of naming the base.

“One outpost after another, new branch bases, makes Seele always feel that we are just travelers passing through here, and we may leave at any time.”

Having spent far too long in this ethereal place, the girl longed for a fixed place that could be called home.

"How's the 'Chrysanthemum Explosion Squad'?"

Kiana put down the broom and suddenly made a suggestion.

"No way, we're not a guild."

Bronya caught the joke and shook her head in denial, while Theresa looked completely bewildered. What were these two talking about?

"Let me help you."

Taking the plate, Ziyao thought she couldn't be so idle.

I feel uncomfortable doing nothing; I feel like a useless person, and I feel embarrassed.

"Sister Ziyao, you should rest now. You've worked hard today."

Bronya turned off the tap, preventing Ziyao from washing the dishes.

"It's not actually that hard..."

It's likely that her delicate and gentle image is already etched in everyone's minds, making it difficult for her to deal with even a single assassin.

"Please ignore the influence of your idiot, what are your thoughts on the name, sister?"

"Sorry, I'm bad at naming things."

Ziyao felt that she was a bit oblivious and not like a girl, because she had never paid attention to the matter of naming.

In the game, the part that always takes the longest is naming the character and creating the character. When I want a refund, I find that the time has already passed, but I've only played a few minutes of the game.

"Where's Xi'er?"

"Since none of the older sisters have expressed their opinions, Seele should just listen obediently."

"Seele, are you an angel?"

Kiana holding Seele's hand, isn't that so cute?
