Mi Home Chat Group: Let's start with a roundup and have some fun!

Caesar continued drinking from his half-finished glass, sighing as he looked at Bernice's miserable state:

"This is the first time I've seen Bernice like this, so I'd better not tell anyone!"

One of the Three Little Pigs: "Drink in moderation, including Bernice's Special Drinks. Minors are prohibited from drinking alcohol!"

[Sino: Bernice looks exactly like that old advertisement!]

[Hook: Wow, this Bernice can actually spit out rainbows! That's amazing! Can I learn how to do it? (???)]

Bernice: No, why is it that even though I've thrown up from drinking, Boss Caesar still doesn't seem to have any reaction? This doesn't make sense!

[Caesar: I can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. You think you can get me drunk? Try again (?????)]

Kiana: Which little pig is the last one? Amum, Grass, or Brick?

[Lucy: I don't know. In fan-made content, all three of them look exactly the same, and I can't tell them apart. ╮( oωo )╭]

"System: Everyone, you can start the lottery now."

[Wright: One-time skill - House Building (Beginner)...Useful when rebuilding a house for the little boar]

Bernice: My body's alcohol metabolism speed has doubled... I'll have to challenge Boss Caesar to a contest sometime.

[Paipai: A bear hair pillow... It's so soft, this feels so comfortable, I want to take a nap... Hmph~ Whoosh~ Hmph~ Whoosh~...]

"System: I have a mysterious case related to Honkai Impact 3rd that I believe you will find interesting."

"A mystery that has stood the test of time! The death of Otto!"

(The material is selected from a segment in the text)

[Uncle Yang: What? Otto is dead! That's great, that truly is a mystery that has stood the test of time.]

Theresa: No! Grandpa died again? Who's going to help me with my work all this time?!

[Empty: Seriously, what do you mean, "You're used to dying, aren't you? And as his own granddaughter, you didn't let him off the hook either (；￢_￢)]

[Ring: It feels like Otto is dying so frequently.]

[Sambo: It's all miHoYo's fault ╮( oωo )╭]

After Kiana entered the portal opened by the retraction, she found herself in an unfamiliar room. It was pitch black and completely devoid of furniture.

"Huh? Where am I again?... Ah!?...∑(??д??lll)"

Kiana felt like she had stepped on something and was startled. When she turned around, she noticed a sign on the ground that read something.

Kiana: Where have I been taken?

[Diluc: It's pitch black here, you can't see your hand in front of your face, it feels like some dark little attic]

[Ring: Or perhaps some abandoned storage rooms]

[March 7th: By the way, what's the point of that heavy object catapult? Who would install one of those in their house? To launch corpses for fun? (-_-)ゞ]

Kiana, however, paid no attention to any of this. After making a comment, she simply turned the doorknob at the far end of the room and headed to another room.

"A strange room..."

As soon as the door opened, Kiana saw Mei walking past with a plate of delicious food. Rita, Durandal, Raven, Fu Hua, and Theresa were also there.

Mei: "Kiana, you received an invitation too? (∩▽∩)"

[Rin: With so many Valkyries gathered here at the same time, things are definitely not simple.]

[Marani: I saw the sea outside the window for a moment just now, so this isn't an island, is it?]

[March 7: Raven is among these seven people. If the island is under her name, the possibility of an accident would jump from 50% to 100%. (?????)]

[Treasure Hunter: Has the old antique been strengthened? You can see obvious undulations in her front now, unlike before when they were almost invisible (⊙o⊙)]

Upon hearing Mei's invitation, Kiana pointed at herself in confusion, then suddenly felt something extra in her pocket: "Eh? An invitation? ('⊙ω⊙`)"

Kiana took the thing out and saw that it was a letter, but the picture on the surface looked very awkward. It was Otto pouting as if he wanted to kiss her, and there was a pink lip print on it.

[Uncle Yang: The design on this envelope is disgusting ('-ι_-｀)]

Theresa: How did Grandpa suddenly become so weird? He's wearing pink lipstick and even poking lip prints on his lips (ΩДΩ)

Kiana glanced at the problematic text that had suddenly appeared on the envelope, then threw it away without hesitation.

"It was written by Otto... (?o?)"

[Ningguang: Pfft~, Kiana immediately threw it away as soon as she saw the name Otto]

[Ring: As expected of Kiana, her hand speed is really fast.]

[Himeko Murata: Don't litter, Kiana!]

Mei extended an invitation to Kiana: "Let's come together~ (∩△∩)"

Kiana stared intently at Mei, pointed to the raven in the corner, and asked:

"Then why is she here?"

Chapter 247 Fu Hua: Let's forget our usual troubles and have some fun today! (Second Update)

Raven smiled at Kiana and explained, "This is my villa. No, I should say it belongs to me now. (=^▽^=)"

Mei walked up to Kiana and whispered in her ear:

"Otto seems to lack the funds to host a banquet, so he sold the island of Destiny to World Serpent in exchange for money."

[Captain: Hiss~! This is an island. The villas on the island have been returned to the raven. I feel like I can already see the island's destiny.]

[March 7th: With the island and the ravens combined, this island is definitely doomed. It will most likely be blown up, and there's a small chance it will sink. ╮( oωo )╭]

[Ring: Since Otto is still in charge of the Destiny Organization, they shouldn't be this poor.]

[Ying: They actually had to sell the island to raise the money for the banquet. Destiny is really having a tough time this time (＠_＠;) ]

[Kevin: Hahaha, I never thought Otto would ever need my help (?????)]

[Uncle Yang: It's great, I love it, give me more! ╭?( O ▽O )╭?]

Even though Mei had lowered her voice, Durandal could still hear her clearly, and this matter had left her in a bad mood:

"Yes, Destiny is currently facing a severe cash shortage; they already owe Rita and me over a month's salary. (o`~'o)"

After Durandal finished speaking, Rita recalled the situation during everyone's collective protest and added her own explanation:

"Lady Durandal led a group of A-rank Valkyries to block the bishop's office, but no one was inside; they only left an invitation to come here."

[Captain: Speaking of salaries, I just remembered! Theresa, when are you going to settle my salary from last month? (?_?)]

[Theresa: Hahahaha... Captain, young people should be ambitious! Don't just talk about money. Talking about money hurts feelings ヾ('▽｀;)ゝ]

[Kong: Theresa, why are you so nervous? Did you use the captain's salary in advance to buy Houmu plushies and the latest comics again? (；!＿!)]

[Theresa: I didn't, I didn't do it, watch out or I'll sue you for defamation! ('⊙ω⊙` ；)]

[Nicole: Trading at least a month's salary of an A-rank Valkyrie for a mundane island trip doesn't seem like a good deal at all. No wonder Durandal is unhappy.]

After hearing Rita's explanation, Kiana stared in shock, then looked curiously at Mei beside her:

"So Mei, why did you guys come here?"

Mei recalled when Kevin handed the contract to her and Raven. Raven was so excited when she saw the island that Mei had no choice but to agree as well. She explained helplessly:

"Uh...it's because Kevin didn't have the money to pay salaries, so he mortgaged the island to us as wages. (￣ω￣;)"

[Charlotte: Shocking! Two of the Big Three can't even pay their salaries. Is this Kevin's twisted nature, or Otto's moral decline?]

[Star: Kevin and Otto are truly old rivals; even their methods of offsetting wages with their subordinates are almost identical (ー△ー；)]

[Ring: These two are a big smarty and a little rascal!]

[Hu Tao: Could the reason World Serpent is broke be because Kevin bought the island from Schicksal? (；O_O)]

[Vilvie: That's unlikely. I'm more inclined to believe he spent all the money on instant noodles (?_?)]

Alicia: Kevin could actually ask Eden for some financial assistance.

Theresa: There are only three organizations in total, and two of them are facing funding problems. We might as well just merge them into Walter's Entropy Reversal.

[Walter: You overestimate me. Having Anti-Entropy handle two things at once means I have to support three huge organizations all by myself. It's exhausting! (O?O‵‵)]

Because they hadn't received their wages, everyone was in a bad mood.

In this situation, Theresa stepped in, trying to ease the tension by changing the subject:

"Well~ don't worry about it, it's not easy for everyone to get together here, let's have a happy gathering! (=^▽^=)"

Fu Hua felt Theresa's words made sense, and had only just begun to agree when something suddenly fell from the sky in front of them, startling everyone:

"Indeed, let's forget about our usual troubles and just enjoy today... ('⊙ω⊙`)"

[Caesar: Holy crap, what just fell from the sky?! Σ( ° △ °|||)︴]

[Sambo: It's raining yellow fluff from the sky! Anyone with a daughter, please take her in!]

Kiana: Wow, class president! You just said "forget your troubles," and the source of your troubles was immediately solved! (?OдO)b

[Azure Horn: Can we start the meal right away? I'm feeling hungry (＾▽＾)]

[Paimon: Following Detective Conan's naming conventions, this case should be called! (???)]

After everyone saw Otto fall, they all retreated a distance to observe whether Otto was still alive.

It wasn't until Otto's blood stained the floor around him green that the crowd believed he was truly dead and began to sing in celebration.

Durandal & Rita: "The Flower of Hope"

Theresa, Mei, and Fu Hua: "The bond that connects us."

Kiana: "What kind of song are you guys singing?! (╬◣д◢)"

[Ahaha: Hahahaha, as expected of the man who charged through the World Tree, truly extraordinary (,,?ω?,,)]

Alice: This is the first time I've ever seen someone's blood be the same color as their hat. How amazing! (???)

[Ring: Wait a minute, shouldn't Kiana be the one singing the most enthusiastically?]

Kiana: Hehe, I still have to save the world from the Theresa virus! Time is of the essence. (￣▽￣)~*

Kiana looked at Otto's corpse on the ground and roughly analyzed her mission for this time:
