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

The captain carefully examined the petite Durandal and asked in confusion:

"They just finished collaborating with Star Railway, and now they're collaborating with Honkai Impact 2?"

Wearing a magical girl skin, A-Quan glanced shyly at the captain before quickly turning her head away:

"I thought you were going to say 'Beep—'. /(//o/ω/o//)/"

[Lingyi Niang: Collaboration with Honkai Impact 2! Is this a new event? (o'ω'o)?]

Mei: Probably not, Ai hasn't issued any announcements. ╮( oωo )╭

Kiana: Izumi looks just as energetic as ever today! ヾ(@^▽^@)ノ

[Ying: Although A-Quan's words were censored, I'm sure she was referring to "BA" just now.]

The captain turned to look at A-Quan with a helpless expression and explained, "Um... that's someone else's company's IP address. I'm afraid of getting a lawyer's letter. (；?_?)"

Floating in mid-air, A-Quan casually crossed his legs, his hands behind his head.

"Just kidding~ How boring~! <(︶__︶)>"

[Zhe: Captain, don't worry, we're not Sensei, right? (,,?ω?,,)]

[Rin: Ah Quan seems so carefree.]

[Yuuma: Sigh~, I wish I could be this relaxed too, but Section Chief Liu won't approve my leave (???‵‵)]

Chapter 316 Mei: No wonder I felt a weight on my back, it turns out the captain was blaming me!

The captain glanced down at A-Quan's flat stomach, hesitated briefly, then quickly understood the reason. He clicked his tongue in disdain and rolled his eyes at A-Quan.

"Hmm?... Stare... Tsk! (?_?)"

Sensing the captain's gaze, A-Quan sat up straight, embarrassed and annoyed, explaining that she had her reasons for doing so:

"What are you doing! Trying it out beforehand is the only way to be motivated to lose weight!!! o(*//o//皿//o//*)q"

Seeing that A-Quan was getting anxious, the captain didn't say whether he believed it or not, but turned around with the records and went to find Durandal to continue his work:

"Alright, I'm done arguing with you. I need to keep collecting data. ╮( oωo )╭"

[Paimon: All the belly fat is gone, did A-Quan successfully lose weight? (o'ω'o)?]

[Captain: Actually, it wasn't successful. She was just a model with a skin over it, but she's still just as fat. (*σ'?`)σ]

[Star: Hahaha, so it's a costumed character!]

[Qiong: She's getting anxious! She's getting anxious! A-Quan is getting impatient with the captain's gaze! (,,?ω?,,)]

[Billy: So, A-Quan hasn't started dieting yet, right? (?????)]

[Rin: It's okay, chubby A-Quan is cute too, I love him so much. (￣y▽￣)~*]

Durandal struck various simple poses, assisting the captain in recording the corresponding data:

"Speaking of which...wouldn't it be better to have more people test the data?"

Tesla: "That's what I said before."

The captain awkwardly scratched the back of his head and explained to the two of them:

"Everyone's pretty busy, so I think it's best not to bother them with this kind of thing. (；=ω=)"

[Zhe: He slightly turned his body, taut his right hand in a firing gesture, raised it to shoulder height, and finally aimed with his right eye! It was so classic! (≧ω≦)/]

[Sora: This pose! You're the Railgun! (???)]

Durandal: I don't want to disturb everyone's work, but disturbing me is fine, Captain? (；￢_￢)

[Captain: The main problem is that if there are too many people, things might get out of control, and then there's no point in issuing any announcements. ('-﹏-`；)]

[Rita: No problem, I'm not busy at all! Captain, look at me, I want to test with Lady Durandal (cuddle together)...ヾ(@^▽^@)ノ]

[A-Quan: Look, it hasn't even started yet, and it's already out of control. ╮( oωo )╭]

Hearing the captain's reason for this differ from what he had been told before, Tesla frowned and asked:

"Huh? Didn't you say before that you were afraid that someone wouldn't be able to control you...? (。ì _ í。)"

The captain and A-Quan both realized what Tesla was about to say, and they immediately broke out in a cold sweat, hurriedly stopping him:

"Ahhh, no...Σ(っ°Д °;)っ"

"Ahhh, I was just joking! Ahhhhh! (ΩДΩ)"

[Furina: You're worried that Rita won't be able to control herself after seeing the little goose, right? ('⊙ω⊙`)]

[Captain: There's no doubt she'll lose control and harass Durandal (；￢_￢)]

[Rita: What do you mean by harassment! This is just a subordinate showing meticulous care for their leader (。?`ω'?)]

[Zhe: Oh right, right, every time you see that silly goose, your pupils turn into pink hearts! Admit it, you're shameless, you just want her body (→_→)]

Durandal noticed that A-Quan and the captain's reactions were clearly abnormal, and looked at the two of them with suspicion:

"Is...is there a problem?"

The captain, quick-witted as ever, figured he could just shift the blame to someone who wasn't even there, and then, though his argument was weak, he said with a straight face:

"It's Mei! (；^▽^)"

Ah Quan nodded repeatedly, indicating that the captain was right:

"Mmm mmm mmm mmm! ('⊙ω⊙`)"

Durandal: "Why? (◎_◎;)"

Mei: No wonder I felt a weight on my back, it turns out the captain is blaming me! (「▼皿▼)

[Captain: Haha~, don't worry about the details, I won't do it again next time. ヾ('▽｀;)ゝ]

[Hanabi: Mei-nee, the Captain actually wants a next time? He doesn't respect you at all! (,,?ω?,,)]

[Floating Waves Pomelo Leaf: I can provide a sturdy washboard! (?????)]

Mei: "I already said there's no collaboration with Honkai Impact 2!!!"

[Paimon: Huh, when was this scene from? I don't think I've seen it before. (-_-)ゞ]

[Captain: If I remember correctly, it should be from the Honkai Impact 2 rebirth arc. This really is a timeless classic. (⊙o⊙)]

After collecting most of the static data and checking that everything was in order, Tesla reminded Durandal, "Now let's test the movement..."

"Want to do some exercise?" Upon hearing Tesla's request, Durandal, who was warming up, hesitated for a moment before quickly starting to run laps around the training room. "Do I need to run even faster? (=^▽^=)

Tesla: "Um... how about testing some more complex maneuvers? (＠_＠;)"

[Yanqing: Judging from the frequency of Yulandel's footsteps, she's already moving very fast, and she can even speed up! (⊙o⊙)]

[Zhu Yuan: Such a fast movement speed only slightly increased her breathing rate; it seems she's far from reaching her limit.]

[Kaeya: As expected of Schicksal's strongest S-rank Valkyrie, Durandal's physical abilities are truly terrifying!]

Upon hearing that he was about to perform a complex movement, Youlan stopped running, supported herself on one hand with the ground, and performed a handstand split for Tesla:

"Is this okay? (∩▽∩)"

Seeing Durandal perform such a difficult move right after finishing her run, Tesla couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.

"No need for... such a high level of difficulty... (；OдO)"

[Rita: Durandal is so cute! Great opportunity, I'll take her! (?ω?)]

[Ying: Damn system, move the camera up a little higher!!! I can only see half of her thighs, it's so frustrating! (「▼皿▼)]

"System: I freaking want to watch too, but the screen is only so big, what can I do! (?o皿o)?=3=3"

[Qiong: I'll find a big screen where I can see the whole thing clearly someday! (。ì _ í。)]

[Funinga: The value of a three-fold fold is still rising. ╮( oωo )╭]

After recording the data, Durandal stepped aside to rest, wiping away the sweat that had seeped out from the intense exercise with a towel.

Seeing that Durandal was terribly hot, A-Quan even took out two cold drinks from the Imaginary Space and handed them to her.

Durandal smiled and waved her hand: "Um, thank you! (⊙?⊙)"

Chapter 317 Rita: How to Shift Responsibility After Committing a Major Information Security Breach

After careful analysis, Dr. Tesla finally identified the problem with the model:

"The motion data does show that the model does have a minor issue... (。ì _ í。)"

Theresa didn't quite understand Tesla's meaning and asked in confusion:

"So what exactly is the problem that needs fixing?"

Seeing Theresa's bewildered expression, the captain rephrased Dr. Tesla's words in a way that Theresa could understand:

"After all, the new model is still a bit different from the current one. You know, motion capture is similar, right? It has to be fixed before the version is released, otherwise... (ー`_'ー)"

[Navia: Durandal's movements just now looked pretty smooth, I don't see anything wrong with the model (-_-)ゞ]

[Danheng: That's why we need to look at the data. Some subtle deviations are difficult to observe with the naked eye alone.]

[Ring: Simply put, Durandal's consciousness hasn't adapted to this model yet.]

[Captain: This is probably normal. After all, Durandal has grown up, and this model is based on her body when she was younger. Her stats have changed a lot, so it does take time to readjust. ╮( oωo )╭]

After listening to the captain's translation, Theresa roughly understood where the problem lay, but she was even more confused:

"If I can handle something like this, shouldn't it be a piece of cake for Durandal?"

The captain was about to refute Theresa's point of view, but upon closer reflection, it seemed to make sense:

"How can that be the same... um... (；OдO)"

Durandal also agreed that Theresa made sense, and then all three of them turned their gazes to A-Quan, wanting to hear her opinion.

Kiana: Auntie, even if you were 20 years younger, your body shape wouldn't change at all. It would be strange if you couldn't adapt! ╮(︶﹏︶)╭

Theresa: Kiana, let's not talk about such hurtful things again (?_?)

[Moon City Willow: Theresa is right. If it's just a minor issue, Durandal should be able to adapt quickly given her extensive combat experience.]
