My outrageous life in Honkai Impact 3

Kiana raised her hand to ask a question, and then Luo Chen flicked her forehead.

"What are you doing!"

Kiana rubbed her head and glared at Luo Chen, her teeth bared. If Mei hadn't stopped her, she would have loved to bounce back right now.

"I didn't do anything, I just wanted to flick you."

Luo Chen withdrew his hand and grinned, secretly pleased with Kiana's discomfiture: "Even if there's something I can't handle, I can just turn around and run. As the saying goes, of the thirty-six stratagems, running away is the best! If I can't beat them, I won't use Rune."

Everyone present was stunned by Luo Chen's words. Although there was nothing wrong with what he said, it just felt a little inappropriate coming from Luo Chen.

"Alright, I won't waste any more time on small talk. Remember one thing: protect yourselves. If I find out you've gotten hurt because of carelessness, hmph."

Upon arrival at their destination, Luo Chen had Mei and the others board the pre-prepared helicopter for landing, while he observed their every move from the command center via a drone.

"Was it really necessary to deploy the Hyperion for this mission?"

Luo Chen watched as everyone on the screen successfully entered the mission area and raised objections to the difficulty of this mission.

"I just wanted to give you some training."

A screen appeared to Luo Chen's left, showing Theresa again. She was sipping a cup of bitter melon juice and answering Luo Chen, "This mission itself isn't difficult; it's just about rescuing refugees. But considering your status as a prospective captain, Himeko and I decided to bring you along for some training."

"Good guy."

Luo Chen felt that using the Hyperion, a behemoth, for this mission to train himself was like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.

"Alright, focus on completing your task. We'll have a celebration banquet when you get back tonight."

"So Mei and I will cook the meals, right?"

Theresa gave an awkward laugh, then waved her hands dismissively, saying, "Only you and Mei know how to cook. If you don't cook, who will? And what's wrong with you two cooking together?"

"Alright, let's talk about it when we get back."

Luo Chen waved his hand to turn off the screen, then turned around to carefully monitor the five people on the ground to prevent any accidents.

"Lilith, why did you switch guns?"

On the ground, Kiana saw the shotgun in Lilith's hand and was somewhat puzzled. Didn't Lilith used to use a sniper rifle?

"This."

Lilith rested the shotgun on her shoulder and took another one out of the box on her back, leaving the others bewildered.

"I found sniper rifles a bit too cumbersome, and they might hold me back in this mission. So I decided to switch to a different gun."

"Can you adapt in such a short time?"

Yuno felt that something was amiss. It wasn't that she didn't trust her, but she wondered if Lilith could adapt to the sudden change in fighting style.

"Don't worry about that. I'm an expert with firearms. Besides, I practiced beforehand, so there's nothing to worry about."

Lilith was smug. As the only person in the class who had been praised by the headmaster for his expertise in firearms, changing guns was no problem for her.

"Alright, let's go in."

Mei, as the team leader, had just informed the local troops stationed there and led everyone into the disaster area to begin rescue operations.

It's called a rescue operation, but it's really just about locating the refugees, marking them on an electronic screen, and then handing them over to others to handle.

In this remote region, the Valkyries stationed there are generally C-rank or D-rank, with only the highest-ranking officer barely reaching B-rank. Sending them to fight monsters is unreliable, so they're only good for rescuing people.

Whenever they encountered Honkai Beasts along the way, Mei's team would stop and eliminate them to make it easier for the rescue teams that followed.

During this extermination campaign, Lilith was the happiest of all, wielding dual pistols and killing everything in her path, truly experiencing what happiness meant.

"Wuhu!"

The shotgun blasts once again filled the air, hitting one of the undead. Looking at the lifeless creature, Lilith finally understood why Luo Chen preferred to kill Honkai Beasts one by one with a single strike. The feeling of killing them with a single shot was incredibly satisfying!

Inside the command room, Luo Chen watched Lilith chase after the assassins with a shotgun, his lips twitching. He felt that this girl's style was a bit off, and the scene was too outrageous!

"Lilith, slow down!"

Yuno swung her sword and sliced ​​off the head of the Honkai Beast. Seeing Lilith getting more and more engrossed in the fight, she shouted for her to come back.

Hearing Yuno call her name, Lilith realized she had run far away. She scurried back to the group and tilted her head to apologize to Yuno.

"Now that this area is cleaned up, let's go to the last place."

Mei looked at the map and called everyone to set off. The sooner they finished the mission, the sooner they could go back, and she could spend more time with Luo Chen.

Thinking about this, Mei felt incredibly motivated and started planning when to find Luo Chen after she got back. What about Yuno? I shouldn't interfere too much in her own affairs!

Chapter 81 What am I to you?

After the last location was cleared out, Mei and the others returned to the camp. After submitting the mission to the staff at the camp, they quickly returned to the Hyperion and headed towards St. Freya.

As evening fell, the spacious living room in Mei's dormitory was filled with people. Theresa, Himeko, and Yae Sakura were chatting about work, Bronya and Kiana were playing games, and Yae Rin was cheering them on. Meanwhile, four people were crammed into the kitchen, preparing dinner.

"Mei, keep an eye on the heat, I'm going to get something from the refrigerator."

"Okay, Chen, you can go now."

"Squad leader, come and help me!"

"understood."

The four of them worked together, and soon the table was filled with delicious dishes.

Luo Chen took out some pre-chilled drinks and wine from the refrigerator and placed them on the table, indicating that everyone could start eating.

Everyone took their seats and looked at Luo Chen, who had just sat down. Even Kiana, who usually liked to sneak food, restrained herself and looked at Luo Chen without saying a word.

"What are you looking at me for?"

"Why don't you say a few words?"

"why?"

Luo Chen didn't understand. Why did he have to speak before eating? He wasn't a leader, so why all this formality?

"This is a party to celebrate your promotion to A-rank knight, and also a victory celebration for this mission. As a key member, aren't you going to say a few words?"

Theresa insisted, so Luo Chen had no choice but to go along with her. He stood up, raised his glass to everyone, and said, "Then I'll say a few words. Cheers to our friendship!"

"That's actually a couple of sentences!"

Luo Chen raised his glass, and the others stood up to clink glasses with him before starting to eat.

"Kiana, why are you stealing my jerky?!"

"Luo Chen, you're too slow! This piece of meat is mine!"

Hey! That's my chicken leg!

"dream!"

At the dinner table, Luo Chen and Kiana kept snatching each other's food, making everyone laugh. The two of them buried their heads in their food, looking at each other with dislike.

"Luo Chen, eat your food."

Yuno unhesitatingly put food into Luo Chen's bowl. When the others saw this, they thought that another chaotic scene was about to unfold. However, Mei calmly put food into Luo Chen's bowl while smiling at Yuno.

Everyone present was taken aback, except for a certain paramecium, who kept asking Mei to serve her food as soon as she saw her actions, seemingly oblivious to everything else.

After dinner, Yae Rin and Bronya huddled together to discuss what had just happened. After some analysis, Bronya concluded that there must be some secret between Mei and Yuno.

"That's it!"

Yae Rin's mouth agape, her face full of curiosity as she pestered Bronya, "Bronya-neechan, how did you figure that out?"

Bronya remained silent, only glancing at Mei, whose arm Kiana was holding, and noticing that Mei seemed to be giving someone a meaningful look. Turning her gaze over, Bronya saw that the recipient was Yuno, further confirming her suspicions.

Yuno received a hint from Mei and invited Luo Chen to the balcony for some fresh air.

Stepping onto the balcony, Luo Chen leaned against the railing, a gentle breeze caressing his face and ruffling his hair, making him feel refreshed.

"Yuno, what do you want from me?"

Luo Chen asked, already having a general idea of ​​what Mei had said that morning.

Yuna was taken aback, not expecting Luo Chen to ask so quickly; she hadn't been prepared at all.

Looking at the bright moon, Yuno made up her mind, turned to look at Luo Chen who had just combed his slightly messy hair, and asked in a low voice, "Um, Luo Chen, what am I to you?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Chen became wary for some reason, and the image of that free man appeared in his mind, while the Earth's Roar automatically played in his head.

Luo Chen wondered if Yuno would unleash the Rumbling like Eren if he said "You're family." He couldn't help but laugh at the thought.

Luo Chen smiled, but Yuna panicked, putting her hands in her pockets and clutching them, looking down and unable to meet Luo Chen's gaze.

"So, what do you want me to be to you? Family?"

Luo Chen couldn't help but utter the famous words. Upon hearing the word "family," Yuno seemed deflated, leaning against the railing in silence, her eyes devoid of light.

"Okay, I was just kidding."

Luo Chen stepped forward and hugged Yuno, patting her back to comfort her: "Now I know why Mei accepted Bianca. It was you."

Yuno couldn't hold back anymore, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably, which startled Luo Chen, who wiped away the tears from Yuno's face with his hand.

"My dear little aunt, why are you crying? Anyone who didn't know better would think I've been bullying you."

"You're just bullying me."

Yuna punched Luo Chen in the arm. Although it didn't cause any serious injury, it stopped her tears.
