Sister Rescue Plan

"Ok?"

"Want to play a game later? Theresa told me you're a gaming expert."

"Okay."

Do you know why I'm writing this early today? Yesterday, I started writing the second chapter at 3 AM, but my heart wasn't feeling well. I didn't finish until after 5 AM before going to bed. Then, when I woke up today, I saw that my editor, Nancy, said that Shuke has lost another author...

I haven't finished writing my novel yet, how can I die!

Survival is the most important thing

Chapter Seventeen: I Want to Wipe Your Body

When the character controlled by Yushou Mirai was knocked out and fell to the ground, he put down the controller with a sense of exhaustion. It was the thirty-sixth time. Yushou Mirai had not won once, and Fu Hua's character had only lost less than 10% of its health.

However, compared to being completely crushed at the beginning, the situation is much better now.

This is a very popular game on the market. The character models are quite exquisite, and the combat feels strong. It is divided into two modes: clearing maps to progress through the story and online battles. In battles, the character's level and equipment will be suppressed to the same level.

In other words, even though Fu Hua had maxed out her character level and equipment, the two characters were on the same level when they fought each other.

Izayoi Mirai lost because of her own abilities.

Fu Hua pushed up his red-rimmed glasses: "Victory and defeat are common occurrences in war. You don't need to worry about the future. I also went through a long period of hard training to get to my current level. You are improving very quickly. As long as you persevere, you will be able to defeat me sooner or later."

Yushou Mirai felt a little embarrassed. He didn't intend to treat the game as seriously as Fu Hua did, and in fact, his training wasn't that rigorous either.

He checked the time; it was already 3 PM. Time really flies when you're playing games.

"Well then, Fu Hua, I'll be going now."

Izayoi Mirai stood up. "I have some things to do. I'll work hard on the game."

"Goodbye."

Fu Hua escorted Youxiao Mirai to the door and watched her figure disappear from sight.

Yuuyo plans to ask Theresa for an advance on her salary for this month, at least to have enough money for food.

This time, he obediently took out his phone for navigation. What if he got lost again and it dragged on until Theresa got off work? He really wouldn't be able to find her then. He couldn't very well go to Fu Hua's place for another free meal, could he?

As she approached Theresa's office, Izayoi Mirai slowed her pace. If she suddenly pushed open the door and caught Theresa reading comics, could she blackmail her into giving her a raise? For Izayoi Mirai, who was used to spending money lavishly, this amount of money wasn't enough.

Yoruichi landed silently, her hand lightly resting on the doorknob, then she flung the door open!

The place was empty; there wasn't a single person there. Did she skip work or go to another job?

Izayoi Mirai couldn't tell, after all, St. Freya Academy was different in nature. This wasn't an office job. Theresa, as the highest-ranking person in charge of the Far East branch, would definitely have other responsibilities besides being cute.

What are you doing here?

Himeko's voice came from behind her. She walked over and asked, "Is there something you need from Theresa?"

"I've run out of money, so I'm planning to get an advance on a month's salary."

Himeko was taken aback; she hadn't expected Izayoi to be short of money. "I'll lend it to you later. Theresa is away on a mission."

"Task?"

“You know about Herrschers, right?” Himeko said. “Not only did Raiden Mei become a Herrscher in Changkong City, but after we took Mei away, the remaining Honkai energy condensed together and gave birth to a pseudo-Herrscher, similar to a Herrscher but without a Honkai core.”

Izayoi Mirai suddenly remembered that this was the same plot where Theresa's car crashed, and she was then rescued by her mother's sweetheart.

"Won't she mess up?" Izayoi Mirai reminded her, "Last time she was completely dominated by Mei."

"Don't worry. Although Theresa seems unreliable, she is still an S-class Valkyrie. She may not be able to beat a real Herrscher, but she can handle a fake Herrscher like the pseudo-Herrscher. Don't underestimate her."

彳亍口巴.

Yosuke Mirai didn't intend to interfere. Anyway, it wasn't like there was no one to save the day. She had Kallen's aura on her, and Yae Sakura couldn't bear to see her die.

Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Just as Izayoi Mirai had predicted, Theresa did indeed fall victim to that pseudo-Herrscher. Because she had completely underestimated this newly formed pseudo-Herrscher, Theresa was impaled in the abdomen by vines, and the Honkai toxins rapidly destroyed her bodily functions.

Theresa's consciousness began to fade; she felt she was probably going to die there.

scoff-

Several flashes of light appeared, the vines were severed, and a shrine maiden dressed in a pink, open-armpit shrine maiden outfit walked in, sword in hand, with two long donkey ears on her head.

"Karen's aura..."

She picked up Theresa, ignoring the noisy pseudo-Herrscher, but she cut down all the vines that were shot at her.

The priestess glanced at her sideways, sword in hand, and said, "If you make another move, I'll kill you."

They led Theresa into a room, where the intense Honkai energy emanating from her caused the zombies and Honkai beasts to obediently avoid her.

She picked up some of the collected medicines.

As a shrine maiden in a small mountain village, her swordsmanship is a personal style developed through constant battles with Honkai Beasts, while her medical skills are based on the medicinal properties of herbs that she has tested over a long period of time in the village to treat people.

There were few doctors in the small mountain village. As a witch who could communicate with the gods, it was only natural that she could cure diseases. As for those she couldn't cure, it could only be that their faith was not firm and they had been abandoned by the gods.

Therefore, it can be seen from this that the priestess's medical skills are actually quite worrying.

Because she valued Theresa highly, the priestess decided to heal her in the most cautious way possible, which meant—

Boil all these medicines together and feed them to Theresa; surely one of them will work.

She couldn't understand the medicine instructions, not to mention the limited literacy in the small mountain village. Five hundred years is enough time for the written language and grammar to change considerably, not to mention the various medical terms.

Behind the shrine maiden, a black substance condensed into the shape of a fox, with two scarlet dots around its eyes: "Yae Sakura, are you going to save her? I smell Kallen's scent on her; she is Kallen's descendant."

Karen betrayed you, yet you still want to save her child with another man. Your fetish is truly peculiar.

Yae Sakura's hands trembled as she brewed the medicine. The fox knew she was wavering and continued, "Kill her, Yae Sakura. Draw your sword, kill that traitor's child, and complete your revenge. She abandoned you for five hundred years!"

“I won’t do that, Hishigomaru.”

Yae Sakura clenched her fists tightly, took out the black broth made from the mixture of all the medicines, and presented it to Theresa.

Theresa, who was in a coma, obviously wouldn't eat the lump of food willingly, so Yae Sakura chose to feed her herself.

Just like when we gave Karen the medicine.

She scooped a spoonful of the bitter broth into her mouth, then leaned down and kissed Theresa. Her tongue deftly pried open Theresa's tongue and passed the medicine over. Theresa slowly swallowed the medicine that was fed to her.

She fed Theresa the medicine spoonful by spoonful. By the end, Theresa was covered in sweat, her body was writhing restlessly, and she was also experiencing slight spasms.

Yae Sakura took off her nun's habit.

Her delicate skin was as smooth as if it had been touched with honey, and cool to the touch. Bright red buds and asparagus blossoms adorned her skin. Yae Sakura took out the towel she had prepared and wiped her body from head to toe.

Yes, she did the same thing to Karen back then.

"Are you thinking about that traitor again?" Perhaps due to the influence of Honkai energy, Hiyomaru's voice was always filled with anger. "It's meaningless, Yae Sakura. Everyone will betray you, but I will always be by your side."

Her pointed lips parted as if in a smile: "Besides, the Honkai Toxin is incurable and cannot be neutralized. Give up, your actions are futile, she's doomed."

“I know, I’ve known about this from the beginning, Higokumaru.” Yae Sakura’s expression was calm. “I just want to relive my past with Kallen through Kallen’s descendants.”

"And now, that's about enough."

She stroked Theresa's burning forehead, leaned down and kissed her lips, the Honkai energy surging into her like a tide, making her body become ethereal.

"Yae Sakura, you're insane!" Hishikomaru's voice was unusually shrill. "You'll die like this, you stupid woman!"

"I know."

Yae Sakura's body became increasingly ethereal, while Theresa's body temperature began to drop, returning to normal. The toxins in her body began to be broken down by the excessive Honkai energy. Behind her, three huge cherry blossom marks were gradually taking shape. Yae Sakura's final figure, like a shadow, disappeared into those three cherry blossom marks.

Even until the moment she disappeared, Yae Sakura remained calm.

Ah, I changed the manga's plot. I still prefer the character who calmly faces death.

Chapter Eighteen: A Different Trading Approach

Theresa quietly returned to St. Freya, and no one knows about her mishap except for Izayoi Mirai.

However, Yosuke Mirai would never go out of her way to provoke Theresa, since she's the one who gets paid.

He was desperate too. Shouldn't this be the finance department's responsibility? Why was this short guy who didn't care about anything clinging to the financial power? Was it so he could embezzle public funds to buy comics?

However, Mirai Yosai easily received an advance on her salary from Theresa, which in a sense shows that she was quite easy to talk to.

Time passed slowly like this. Yuxiao Mirai went to and from get off work on time every day, and when no one was around, she would play games and slack off. She lived a very happy life and almost forgot that there was such a thing as system tasks.

I'll start preparing after two more days of testing!

Yoyo Mirai thought to herself.

It's the weekend, and Yuxiao Mirai, who isn't working, is at home organizing the items extracted by the system. Ever since he discovered the gauntlet that looks like the Remnant of the Flame, he's been paying attention to his items. Maybe those seemingly useless broken items are actually some good stuff.

After eliminating them one by one, he did find a few good things. The first was a stamina potion that could instantly restore stamina to full. It looked like an item in a game. Izayoi Mirai wasn't sure if she could use it, but it also had a note that it could be perfectly combined with potions of other attributes.

Perhaps it can be used for trading in the future.

He put the potion back into his personal space and took out a broken blade. The hilt had a red gem, the blade was shaped like a flame, the blade was wide and broken in the middle, and the spine was covered with carvings.

Youxiao Mirai gripped the sword, channeling her magic into it, and a pure and dazzling Buddhist light appeared, filling the room.

A compassionate Zen-like aura spread, yet within it lay a distinctly soaring killing intent, stirring the Asura intent within Yosuke Mirai's body.
