He was a middle-aged man with a refined appearance. Although he looked slightly haggard, his eyes were unusually firm.
"father!"
Raiden Mei froze the moment she saw the man.
The next second, she let out a cry of surprise, completely disregarding who else was present, and rushed over without hesitation, like a fledgling bird returning to its nest, burying itself in the man's arms.
“Mei…” Raiden Ryoma hugged his daughter tightly, the man who had been lost and found again. His eyes reddened as he spoke. “My good daughter, I’m so glad to see you again.”
"Dad, are you alright? Did they do anything to you?" Mei looked up, her tearful eyes anxiously scanning her father from head to toe, her hands groping over him as if trying to make sure he was okay.
“Father, you’ve lost weight…” Looking at her father’s gaunt face and the wrinkles around his eyes, she could no longer hold back her tears, which streamed down her face.
"Silly child, as long as I can see you again, it's all worth it for your father to suffer any hardship." Raiden Ryoma gently wiped away his daughter's tears with his rough hands, a relieved smile appearing on his face.
Walter watched the touching scene of the father and daughter's reunion quietly without making a sound to disturb them.
After a moment, he turned his gaze back to Gu Ye.
“I just brought innocent people back.” His voice was steady and strong, revealing little emotion. “Now that my mission is complete, it’s time for me to leave.”
After saying that, he didn't even glance at Durandal and Rita again. He nodded slightly to Gu Ye, turned around and left. His figure quickly disappeared from sight without the slightest hesitation.
Chapter 34 Mission Completed, Return
Walter's departure made the atmosphere at the scene delicate once again.
Mei was immersed in the joy of reuniting with her father, while Kiana watched enviously from the side, and Durandal and Rita turned their attention back to Gu Ye.
“Mr. Gu Ye.” Rita approached with an impeccable smile and graceful steps. “You mentioned the ‘sisters’ matter earlier, which really piqued my curiosity. You seem to know… many secrets that we don’t?”

Her tone was as gentle as if she were chatting casually, but her eyes were fixed on Gu Ye, as if trying to decipher information from every subtle expression on his face.
Before Gu Ye could answer, a heavy rumble slowly grew louder in his ears, breaking the silence.
Everyone looked up and saw a heavy transport plane painted with the emblem of destiny hovering above the courtyard. Its huge rotors created strong air currents, scattering gravel and dust all over the ground.
The hatch slowly opened, and several staff members dressed in Destiny Logistics uniforms began using anti-gravity devices to transport one huge metal box after another.
Otto's efficiency was astonishing.
"Looks like our 'spoils' have arrived." Gu Ye smiled at Rita, successfully changing the subject.
Rin Tohsaka's eyes lit up instantly. She was the first to rush out and lay down in front of a box that had just landed. Through the box's transparent window, there were piles of unpolished gemstones that shimmered with various colors.
W whistled and followed them out, his eyes scanning over a box marked with an explosive symbol.
Bronya silently walked up to a box bearing the logo of the latest game console manufacturer, a hint of anticipation flashing in her eyes.
“Hey, I said…” her voice broke the silence, “How are we going to get all this stuff back? Am I supposed to carry it all the way back to Fuyuki City myself?”
Gu Ye found it somewhat amusing to look at her greedy and greedy appearance.
Instead of answering directly, he seemed to remember something and made a few gestures in the air, bringing up a chat group interface that only they could see.
He searched around and, sure enough, found the familiar yet unfamiliar icon in an inconspicuous corner.
Ba Yisi stable Ling Xie Qi Ni Ba
"It's very simple." Gu Ye raised his head and said to everyone, "I'll treat these spoils as red envelopes and send them to you one by one. After you return to your respective worlds, you can click to receive them, isn't that easy?"
"Ah!" Rin Tohsaka's eyes widened instantly, and she slapped her forehead. "That's right! The red envelope! How could I forget such an important function!"
She scratched her pigtails in frustration, "Damn it, I've always only used this group as a regular chat tool!"
Gu Ye smiled and said no more.
He walked up to the mountain of spoils, reached out his hand, and began his "packing" work.
The weather forecast sent a special red envelope to the devilish muscle-bound Rin.
The weather forecast sent a special red envelope to the American scythe.
The weather forecast sent a special red envelope to the Herrscher of Food.
The weather forecast sent Bronya a special red envelope (cash gift).
……
A series of system notifications flooded the group chat. The supplies that had filled the courtyard vanished without a trace in just a few dozen seconds, leaving only an empty lawn.
“Well then, Mr. Gu Ye.” Rita walked over with elegant steps, her face still bearing a perfect smile, but her eyes held a hint of inquiry. “When can we set off regarding the search for the ‘Thousand Realms One Vehicle’?”
"No rush." Gu Ye closed the chat group interface and said to her, "Wait for my message. I'll let you know in advance."
Just then, Bronya quietly walked up to Gu Ye, gently tugged at his sleeve, and led him to a slightly secluded corner.
“Gu Ye.” She raised her head, her light gray eyes looking at him calmly. “Did you propose ‘Thousand-World One-Way’ for Bronya?”
“Of course it’s not for you.” Gu Ye’s answer was direct. “I just need a Divine Key. And you only need to use it once to rescue your Seele. After that, the ownership of this Divine Key will belong to me.”
“…Thank you.” Bronya was silent for a moment before finally uttering those two words.
Her voice was soft, but earnest.
"Helping you was just a small favor, don't worry about it." Gu Ye waved his hand. "Besides, you're Mei's friend, so you're my friend too. Between friends, helping with such a small thing is nothing."
After he finished speaking, he turned and walked towards Raiden Mei, who was talking to her father. "Mei, I just saw that the mission in the chat group has entered the settlement period. We should probably leave soon."
He pointed to the countdown in the void that only they could see, "Next time I have the chance, I'll come back and search for the 'Thousand Realms One Vehicle' with you."
"Mm." Mei nodded; she had also seen the countdown timer on the mission screen.
My father has returned safely, and that is more important than anything else.
She looked at Gu Ye, her eyes filled with sincere gratitude, "Gu Ye-jun, thank you so much this time."
[Mission: Raiden Mei's Redemption Has Been Completed!]
[Task settlement in progress...]
The system will award points based on each member's contribution to the task.
[All members, please return to your respective worlds within half an hour. The countdown has begun.]
"I'm leaving now. See you next time, everyone."
W is the most straightforward one.
She waved to the crowd as a greeting, then her figure transformed into a white light and disappeared from the spot.
"Well then, I'll take my leave too. Mei, Kiana, next time you have the chance, I'll treat you to my Mapo Tofu!" Rin Tohsaka smiled and said goodbye to everyone, her figure disappearing from sight.
Gu Ye chatted with Kiana and Mei for a few more minutes, gave them some instructions, and then chose to return.
"Goodbye, everyone." His figure also turned into light and disappeared.
The number of people in the courtyard dwindled until only Kitagawa Kaimu remained.
Instead of leaving immediately, she ran excitedly to Rita, her eyes sparkling with curiosity.
"Um! Miss Rita! Are you really a maid? You mean the kind of professional maid who says 'Welcome back, Master'?!" Her questions came flying at me like a machine gun. "Are there any rules about the details of a maid outfit? Are there strict regulations about how you walk and how you bow? Could you teach me? Please!"
Faced with Hai Meng's enthusiasm full of thirst for knowledge, even Rita was taken aback for a moment.
But she quickly regained her elegant and composed demeanor and patiently explained various professional etiquette rules to this hot girl who was full of fantasies about maid culture.
Just as the countdown to his return was about to end, Kitagawa Kaimu reluctantly bid farewell to Rita before disappearing in a ray of light, completely satisfied.
This is the last chapter. I don't even remember how many more chapters there have been. Time to sleep.
Please vote for me!
Chapter 35 Rin Tohsaka: Are you my Servant?
In the afternoon, the noisy courtyard finally returned to complete silence, with only the mournful sound of the wind blowing through the ruins remaining.
Durandal walked up to Rita, whose oversized black hoodie billowed slightly in the wind, a stark contrast to her usual serious and capable image.
She stopped and looked down at the completely leveled open space in the center of the courtyard.
“Rita.” Her voice was exceptionally clear in the excessive silence. “About me and Kiana, did you already know something?”
Rita turned around, her face still bearing that impeccable, perfect smile.
She reached out and gently straightened the slightly disheveled collar of Durandal's hoodie.
"Lady Durandal, I think it would be better if His Holiness the Bishop told you some things in person." Her fingertips seemed to casually brush against Durandal's neck, bringing a slightly cool touch.
She withdrew her hand, her gaze shifting to the open space, a deep meaning flickering in her wine-red eyes.
"But speaking of which, Mr. Gu Ye is becoming more and more unfathomable, don't you think?"
Rita was always like that, easily steer the conversation in another direction. Durandal didn't press further; she knew she wouldn't get the answers she wanted from Rita.
She lowered her head, her gaze falling on her clothes.
"I forgot to return this dress to Gu Ye."
"Hehe, I think this outfit suits you quite well, it gives off a unique vibe." Rita said, magically producing a neatly folded Destiny uniform from behind her. "Would you like to change into it now, sir?"
"Mm," Durandal responded, and began to take off her hoodie.
She handed the black garment, which still carried a strange scent, to Rita. "Keep this safe for me. Return it to him next time he comes."
Rita skillfully took the hoodie, carefully folded it, and then stuffed it into a hidden pocket of her maid dress. The outline of the dress remained unchanged, as if the dress had been swallowed up.
Durandal changed into her crisp uniform and transformed back into the strongest Valkyrie of Destiny.
She stared in the direction where Gu Ye and the others had disappeared, her eyes sharpening.
“His Holiness the bishop speculates that they may not be from this world,” she said, her tone stating rather than questioning.
“Yes, I think so too.” Rita smiled and agreed. “Judging from the combat data, the ‘stand’ used by that Mr. Gu Ye operates on a principle that completely exceeds our existing Honkai energy theory system. And the red-haired little girl who can create bombs out of thin air, and the other girl who can unleash huge explosion magic, their abilities also seem to come from a completely different rule system.”
“It seems that what we’ve encountered this time are truly ‘visitors from another world’,” Rita said with a hint of excited curiosity. “What a fascinating discovery.”
“Your Excellency is probably interested in more than just these things,” Durandal’s voice was cold. “Especially Gu Ye’s world. Since he can produce methods to repair bodies, I wouldn’t be surprised at all that there are methods to resurrect the dead in that world.”
“That is a matter that His Holiness the Bishop needs to consider personally.” Rita took half a step forward and stood side by side with Durandal. “For us, Lady Durandal, the primary task is to deal with the current mess and submit a detailed report to His Holiness the Bishop.”
She reached out her gloved hand and gently brushed away a speck of dust from Durandal's shoulder.
“There’s nothing left for us to linger here.” Rita’s smile remained gentle. “We should go back, Lady Durandal. The Bishop must have been waiting for a long time.”
“I know,” Durandal replied.
Before turning away, she took one last look at the empty ruins.
The sunlight cast long shadows there, and the wind whispered in my ear, as if still telling the story of the thrilling battle that had just taken place.
A complex light flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her usual calm and determination.
She didn't say anything more, and started walking to catch up with Rita.
The two women walked one after the other, their uniforms and black skirts standing out against the backdrop of ruins. Their figures passed through broken pillars and collapsed walls, gradually disappearing at the end of the courtyard.
……
Back at his home in Morioh, the first thing Gu Ye did was rush into the bathroom, letting the hot water wash away the fatigue and bloody smell left from another battle.
After changing into clean casual clothes, he felt like he had come back to life.
His stomach began to rumble with hunger, and without hesitation, he headed towards the familiar Italian restaurant, "Torrasadi".
The restaurant was as quiet as ever, with a faint aroma of spices in the air.
Gu Ye sat down in his usual spot by the window. The moment his fingertips touched the table, the cold, electronic notification sound of the chat group echoed in his mind.
[Task completed. You made a significant contribution to this task, earning a total of 1145 points.]
Before he could take a closer look, a gentle and familiar voice rang in his ears.
You look very tired today, did something happen?
