I was transported to a broken world, yet my dreams are connected to Star Iron?

　Just thinking about what would happen next made Lingmo's lips curl into a smile.

　"Hi, Suzumo, long time no see?"

　While chewing on the bubble gum she had just bought to cosplay Ginrou, Liuying recalled what Ginrou looked like and greeted Lingmo.

　"Judging from your attire... are you also here for the final celebration?"

　"Wow, you're quite well-prepared..." A thought flashed through Lingmo's mind, and then she immediately smiled and said, "Yeah, wanna play a game? I just collected a badge from the Wonderland today, you know?"

　"No, that won't do... As you can see, I didn't bring any Ethereum with me today."

　Liu Ying helplessly shrugged: "How about I treat you to something to eat?"

　"No no no..."

　Lingmo shook her head repeatedly. How could she dare to eat anything from Hanabi? Based on all the "playing" she did with Hanabi yesterday, if she dared to eat it, she would probably wake up one morning to find herself turned into a fountain machine.

　"I just ate, and I can't eat anything right now..."

　Lingmo's eyes lit up, and she said, "By the way, I heard that someone recently discovered a cute creature called the Icefield Bear in the outskirts of Belloberg. Why don't we go and try to find it?"

　"Sure, I've got nothing else to do anyway..."

　Firefly nodded happily. After all, her main purpose in coming to see Lingmo was to chat with the girl. On the one hand, after reading the story of Honkai Impact 3, she was indeed very interested in this strong girl. On the other hand, she also needed to investigate whether Xingxin's new "good friend" was reliable.

　So, amidst their "harmonious" conversation along the way, the two gradually arrived at the snowfields outside Beloborg.

　There should be no one here anymore...

　Lingmo looked around, her spiritual energy spreading outwards.

　This was also the main reason she wanted to lure Hanabi out. If a fight broke out in the city center, the commotion would be considerable, and she couldn't expect Hanabi to disperse the unrelated people. However, she felt a little embarrassed to ask Bronya to clean up the mess because of this.

　Therefore, taking the fireworks to a secluded place before starting them is naturally the best option.

　I don't know why, but this firework, who seemed a bit silly, just followed her all the way out...

　Lingmo glanced thoughtfully at "Silver Wolf".

　"Silver Wolf, look here!"

　Before long, Lingmo quickly found the trail of an ice bear and immediately called out to it.

　"Huh? Did you find the ice bear cub? Let me see..."

　As Lingmo watched the "Silver Wolf" walk towards her without any suspicion, she smiled slightly.

　Then, she quickly reached out and grabbed at the silver wolf's head.

　As we all know, masks are a very important source of power for the Masked Fool. After Suzuma's sensitivity test on Hanabi that day, it was found that this was especially true for Hanabi, as many of her abilities were activated by the mask on her head.

　This time, Hanabi's transformation target, Ginrou, has a body proportion that is almost identical to Hanabi's own. Therefore, under Hanabi's illusion, the mask she wears is likely to be similar, usually placed on one side of her head.

　and so……

　"Caught!"

　Because it happened so suddenly, Firefly was completely caught off guard by Suzuma's sudden attack, and Suzuma successfully grabbed something soft that looked like a mask from the "Silver Wolf's" head.

　"Hmph, you fireworks, I knew you were lying to me?"

　Bounty (9/9) ~

　Is this the end of the bounty?

　Chapter 226 Fireworks: Well, since things have come to this, let's start with some jokes about Xiao Wei.

　Suzumo was very happy when she first touched that round object.

　After all, having control over Hanabi's mask is like having control over Hanabi's magical little switch. Considering that she was bullied by Black Tower in the morning and might be bullied by Hoshi in the evening, this little Hanabi who came to her door was undoubtedly the best way to spice up Suzumo's life after a long day.

　However, less than half a second later, Lingmo's expression changed.

　Because she had just squeezed the mask.

　Soft.

　To be precise, it's soft and plump, with a slight undulation.

　Having seen countless thunderbolts, Lingmo realized almost instantly that she had grasped something.

　Buho!

　Without a doubt, it's impossible for Hanabi to first transform herself into an older sister and then disguise herself as Ginrou. Moreover, based on Suzuma's personal experience, Hanabi's transformation is more like a complete change in physical form, rather than this kind of visual deception disguise.

　So, who is this?

　Lingmo turned her head with a creaking sound, but what she saw was still the appearance of the silver wolf—however, this "silver wolf" seemed to be holding something strange in its hand.

　The object was neither too big nor too small, just the right size for a girl's small hand to hold. It was a shimmering, fluorescent blue color, and had a wing-shaped decoration on it...

　Lingmo felt herself drenched in sweat.

　The background music for the Sam boss fight seemed to be playing in her ears—no, to be precise, she should remove the "seemed" part.

　"That, that..."

　After removing her disguise, Firefly covered her chest with a flushed face, while her other hand gripped Sam's transformation device.

　"Please, please let go... or I'll summon Sam."

　"Yes, I'm sorry! I mistook you for someone else!"

　Lingmo bounced backward as if she had been electrocuted, and then immediately bowed deeply at a 90-degree angle, revealing her chest, as a sincere apology.

　As Lingmo let go, the girl, who had already returned to normal, also took a few steps back almost instantly. It seemed that Liuying was also somewhat at a loss for what to do.

　After all, this kind of thing... to put it seriously, we're all girls, and touching each other isn't a big deal, but to put it mildly... Lingmo took her to the middle of nowhere and then groped her breasts, which clearly doesn't seem like something that's harmless.

　"I need an explanation."

　After some hesitation and a little thought, Firefly finally decided to put away the Sam transformation device.

　One reason is that Suzuma is Xing's friend and also Silver Wolf's friend, so she believes Suzuma has no malicious intent. The other reason is... Eriol didn't mention this in the script he gave her, which means this matter might not be a significant point.

　"Well... actually, it's because I was tricked by a masked fool named Hanabi a couple of days ago."

　Lingmo quickly projected Hanabi's image and explained, "One of her abilities is this kind of illusionary disguise. Last time, it took me a lot of effort to catch her, and after giving her a good beating, I let her go."

　"This morning, I saw Silver Wolf at the Black Tower Space Station, so when I saw you, my first thought was that the Masked Fool had come back to take revenge on me, and then... it turned out like this."

　Looking at Lingmo's embarrassed expression, Liuying felt that the other party didn't seem to be lying. However, she still asked with some doubt, "Give her a good lesson? That's too inefficient... cough cough, I mean, why let her go?"

　"Because her relationship with me is somewhat unusual..."

　Lingmo guiltily looked away: "In short... we can't really call them enemies."

　Liu Ying's gaze suddenly sharpened.

　Almost instantly, she thought of a very special trait that Suzuma exhibited in the Honkai Impact 3 game.

　That is, this guy easily attracts girls, and there's absolutely no option for him to refuse them!

　Could this firework also be part of Suzuma's "harem"?

　Liu Ying silently memorized the name, planning to investigate it further when she arrived in Pinocchio.

　"Hmm... I'll verify the specifics with Silver Wolf, but personally, I'll probably believe you."

　With a hint of helplessness, Liu Ying took out the small transformation button: "Because Silver Wolf said that this button was indeed given to her by a Masked Fool..."

　"That……"

　Lingmo asked tentatively.

　"Let's...let's get out of here first..."

　Liu Ying tossed the small button to Ling Mo: "You handle this yourself. My time outside the capsule is limited... I wasted so much time just now and almost summoned Sam. I need to get back quickly."

　"Also, please, please don't get so close to me... And, you mustn't tell Xing about what happened today!"

　"Good good..."

　……

　"Wait—this, this isn't right, is it?"

　Not far away, Hanabi glared angrily at the two guys who claimed to keep their distance, but in reality, there was no distance at all, and let out a miserable howl like a defeated dog.

　"Why didn't they fight? This Firefly is too good-natured, isn't he? Wasn't Star Core Hunter Sam supposed to be a ruthless killer who creates hell everywhere?"

　"Tsk tsk tsk..."

　Vita shook her head with schadenfreude: "I don't know why Firefly didn't attack Lingmo. It seems that she is not completely ignorant of Lingmo. On the contrary, she seems to know Lingmo quite well. She believed Lingmo's explanation without hesitation."

　"However... if Suzuma is alright, then poor Hanabi is doomed~ Being targeted by both Suzuma and the Star Core Hunter, hmph... Just so you know, I can't go to Pinocone. If you get tied to that thing next time, I won't be able to save you, okay?"

　"Who needs your help!"

　Hanabi said somewhat embarrassed and annoyed, "Besides, does it make any difference whether you save me or not? That kind of thing, that kind of thing, is completely unfeeling to Lady Hanabi!"

　"Pfft-"

　Seeing Hanabi's stubborn expression, Vita couldn't help but lose her composure. After all, when she was helping that brat remove the plug, Hanabi's expression when she almost turned into an ahegao was quite different from her current nonchalant attitude.

　"dare you laugh!"

　Hanabi was so angry she felt a little itchy, but soon, as if she had thought of something, she changed her expression.

　"Hmph, whatever... Even if I'm the one who gets dealt with by Suzumo, at least I can still show up in front of Suzumo whenever I want, right? It'll just come at a price, unlike some people..."

　"Hello..."

　Upon hearing Hanabi's words, Vita's face immediately fell: "So you resort to this when you can't win an argument... Be careful, or I might side with Suzuma and gang up on you later!"

　"Hehe, that's a matter for the future."

　Hanabi stuck out her little tongue: "At least for now, it's more enjoyable to see Vita-neechan's defeated expression~"

　Chapter 227 Lingmo: Stop trying to force all sorts of weird destinies onto me!

　After dealing with the mess that Hanabi had caused, a sullen Suzuma began searching all over Beloborg for the little devil Fool. Unfortunately, it seemed that Hanabi had already left Beloborg, as she already knew that Suzuma was going to cause her trouble, so Suzuma missed her several times.

　Fortunately, without Hanabi's interference, the Etherfront tournament came to a smooth end. Although Giovanni put the Ether Spirit she created into the banned list because it was too overpowered, Suzuma wasn't too disappointed. After all, she had gained one, no, two, electronic pets this time.

　These two electronic pets seem to need some minor adjustments. At least next time, they shouldn't mistake their owners for fighting when they're stacked together and rush in to stop them.

　In short, after resting in Belleburg for a few days, the three bid farewell to Belleburg and returned to the train.

　According to the itinerary previously planned by Pam, the train needs to go to Car Wash Planet for a thorough cleaning before heading to Black Tower Space Station.

　Of course, Pam also thoughtfully gave Suzumo other options—if it was inconvenient for her to leave for so long, she could ask the train conductor for a temporary rest.

　However, Suzuma had no intention of slacking off. Putting aside the fact that she would see the famous parachuted character from the Collapsed Iron Empire (referring to the random appearance of characters throughout the universe) Silver Branch in the Car Wash Star storyline, Suzuma was still very interested in seeing the "Long Night Moon" hidden in Little Three Moon's body.

　"I said……"

　Looking at Hoshino and Suzumo, who were sitting excitedly in the observation car of the train, March Seven said with a hint of helplessness.

　"It's just a trip to Car Wash Star, you two don't need to be so excited, do you?"

　"Incorrect."

　Xing made a big X with both hands: "Anything that involves going to unknown areas can be considered a form of pioneering, and I haven't been to Car Wash Star yet, so this is part of pioneering!"

　"Oh, I didn't know you had this kind of awareness."

　March 7th grinned and shoved a cleaning tool into Xing's hand: "Then you'll be in charge of mopping the floor and ceiling later, right?"

　"Okay, I know this well, I wipe it in my room every day... Hmm?"

　Xingbao looked at Lingmo, who suddenly covered her mouth, with a puzzled expression.

　"Alright, March, let's not let Xing steal the train conductor's job."

　Lingmo forcefully pressed the still struggling Xing into her chest to prevent her from saying anything inappropriate: "As for mopping the floor... maybe we can ask Danheng for help?"

　"call……"
