Sister Rescue Plan

Izayoi Mirai glanced at Himeko's face, then looked away: "It doesn't need to be too big, just big enough."

Himeko failed to grasp the deeper meaning and thought that Izayoi Mirai was showing weakness, subtly praising her own older, dominant personality.

Her slender fingers gently tapped the armrest of the chair: "Don't you have anything you want to tell me? For example, the injury that suddenly disappeared. I was prepared to say goodbye to you, and I was a little sad."

"So that kiss was a goodbye kiss?" Izayoi Mirai joked, trying to change the subject.

However, Himeko remained unmoved, quietly watching Izayoi Mirai: "It seems my lovely junior is hiding quite a few secrets."

Izayoi Mirai made one last attempt to struggle: "Actually, I don't know either. I just woke up and my injuries were healed on their own."

Do you think I'm Theresa?

Even at this moment, they can't resist taking a jab at Delilah; you two really have a fake sisterhood.

"Okay, I'll confess."

Izayoi Mirai straightened her collar, trying to look serious: "But Himeko, you have to keep this a secret. I don't want to wake up and find myself lying on a lab table."

Himeko nodded.

Although I learned about Himeko's personality from the game, she doesn't seem like the kind of person who breaks her word. But it's impossible for Yosuke Mirai to entrust her safety to the kindness of others.

No matter how loyal Himeko is to Otto, it's not as real as her own life, because what Izayoi Mirai wants to reveal is not self-healing ability, but healing ability.

That was Himeko's hope for survival.

Chapter Thirteen: I'm Your Father

"I don't know when it started, but I discovered that I could sense a special energy in the air."

Yosuke Mirai extended a finger, drawing in wisps of Honkai energy. The flesh at her fingertip was rapidly eroded and dried out.

"But this force would erode my body, and just when I thought I was going to die, the wounds healed."

Yoruichi placed her other hand on top, curling her palm to cover the finger. The Purifying Flame burned away the Honkai energy and, together with the healing spell, regenerated his flesh and blood.

He opened his palm, pointing to his perfectly intact index finger: "This is not self-healing, but rather being healed by some kind of force."

Himeko's pupils contracted sharply, her fingers clenched involuntarily until her knuckles turned white. She had only wanted to explore new knowledge as a scholar, but unexpectedly, she found hope instead.

That's right, it's hope.

She was twenty-two years old when she received the artificial stigmata and became a Valkyrie. Her adaptability to Honkai energy was far inferior to that of teenage girls. As a result, her body was severely eroded and her lifespan was running out.

She had been searching for a way to prolong her life, but she never expected to see a glimmer of hope at this moment.

Himeko's voice was somewhat hoarse, lacking her previous mature and sophisticated demeanor: "Are you sure you can still heal others?"

"of course."

Izayoi Mirai nodded. "I've done many experiments, and I can heal both humans and pets after they've been injured."

Himeko immediately rubbed her arm against the heavy sword, creating a long, narrow wound that instantly stained her arm with blood.

She held out her hand to Izayoi Mirai, her eyes filled with anticipation: "Want to give it a try?"

Yoyo Mirai placed her hand on it, and white lines spread out, the bleeding stopped, and the wound immediately began to shrink.

As muscles grew and blood vessels reconnected, the somewhat frightening wound quickly disappeared, leaving a smooth, white arm without even a scar.

"It's amazing."

Himeko repeatedly stroked the spot where she had been injured. Although the phantom pain from before still lingered, the wound had already healed without leaving any trace.

"What about the internal damage?"

Himeko was speaking excitedly, but suddenly froze. Judging from the way Yushou would release it in the future, it would require physical contact. So, what would happen to her internal organs that were severely eroded by Honkai energy?

Are you suggesting we make an incision in his stomach so he can stick his hand in?

That's not impossible; abdominal surgery has existed for a long time, but—

"Are you skilled in surgery?"

Izayoi Mirai blinked: "I can crack open a skull."

Himeko sighed. She didn't want to bleed to death on the operating table. Although with Yoshou Mirai there, she was unlikely to bleed to death, but if her hand was covered in blood as soon as her abdomen was cut open, there was no way to start treatment.

"Should we really not let anyone else know?"

“Of course not.” Izayoi Mirai shook her head firmly. “If my ability can be copied, I myself will not be that important. It’s not impossible that I could be subjected to destructive research in the end, right? I might as well end it in the first place.”

Himeko understood what Izayoi Mirai meant; even if it meant mutual destruction, she wouldn't accept becoming a test subject: "I understand. I won't tell anyone, but why are you willing to tell me?"

"Because you need something from me."

Izayoi Mirai smiled with narrowed eyes, "I can sense that your physical condition is very poor. You've been severely eroded by Honkai energy, haven't you? Only I can cure you."

How could a patient bear to let a doctor have an accident before the illness is cured? And as a Valkyrie, even if Himeko's internal organs are healed, as long as she does not stop fighting, Honkai energy will still erode her body again.

"So, I might be your savior." Izayoi Mirai waved her hand in front of Himeko. "The one who will give you a second life, or even an nth life, you can affectionately call me Dad."

Snapped!

Himeko slapped Izayoi Mirai on the head: "I don't like this joke."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Izayoi Mirai had overlooked something. Although she didn't know Himeko's family situation, in this world, it was all too common for regrettable things to happen.

“I accept your apology.” Himeko stood up. “As compensation, you will have to learn how to perform abdominal surgery.”

"no problem."

Yosuke Mirai got up and saw Himeko to the door, saying, "I learn things very quickly."

When Himeko opened the door, she saw her adjutant standing there, looking like he was listening intently.

She looked at her adjutant: "Don't tell me you're just passing by?"

"Of course I'm not just passing by, I came here specifically to see you, Major Himeko! There are still many things on the Hyperion that require your attention, Major."

The adjutant clenched his fist and waved it in the air. "I was just about to knock on the door."

Himeko, of course, did not believe her adjutant's nonsense: "You know the materials we have here, they're soundproof, you can't hear anything even if you're pressed tightly against them."

That's such a pity.

The adjutant pushed up her glasses; she was still very concerned about her superior's marriage.

Goodnight—

"Good night."

Izayoi waved her hand, and Himeko nudged the adjutant, "Let's go, don't we still have some business to attend to?"

"Eh? Major, we can actually wait a bit..."

Meanwhile, at the headquarters of Destiny, in Otto's office.

Otto had just finished writing an experiment record and closed the window. On the desktop was a beautiful girl laughing in the grass.

Otto has seen this photo countless times, but he never tires of it, because the girl's name is Karen.

Ding-dong-

He received an email.

"K423 and Raiden Mei have entered the Hyperion, as planned. In addition, Himeko Murata brought back a male survivor from Changkong City. He graduated from the same university as her and seems to have good Honkai energy adaptability."

"A rare male candidate?"

Otto didn't care much. Just like there are a few men among the suicide squads, even if the number of men with Honkai resistance is extremely small, multiplied by the overall population, it is still a considerable number.

Since it didn't exhibit any other characteristics, there's no need to worry about it; there are almost no cases like Siegfried's.

Moreover, wouldn't this add another layer of connection to K423?

Otto immediately decided on the man's purpose: to help the Paramecium defeat Sirin.

When the protagonist is in danger and wants to unleash his full power, of course, he has to sacrifice his friends and his harem. This male character can also act as friend A.

"Continue to monitor the situation of K423 and Raiden Mei. As for the man, just leave him there. Report back to me if anything unexpected happens."

Chapter Fourteen: Become a Firearm, Mei

The next day, Hyperion returned to St. Freya Academy. Himeko brought Izayoi Mirai to the headmaster's office to process his onboarding.

Without knocking, Himeko pushed open the office door. As soon as she entered, Izayoi Mirai seemed to hear the sound of paper being torn. Theresa sat behind her desk, looking as if she knew nothing, her voice tinged with panic.
