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

　Chapter 118 Wendy: We're a match made in heaven!

　"This this……"

　Wendy looked back at Lingmo, who had an innocent look on her face, and then stared blankly at the frame in her field of vision. She was unsure whether to open the dead spot in her hand or not.

　"how did you do that?"

　"It's just quickly filtering through the data you sent me..."

　Lingmo looked away somewhat guiltily: "This doesn't seem that difficult. I happen to know a little about this kind of ability... As for why I can directly transmit images into your field of vision through sensors, didn't I say before that I have some mental abilities?"

　"You call this a little bit...?"

　Wendy shook her head in disbelief, and the frame in her vision swayed along with her movement. It was as if she had been given a cheat code. No matter how the target dodged, as long as Wendy could continuously output sensory information to Lingmo, Lingmo could return the tracking mark to her with almost no delay.

　"Fine, I'll fire one shot and see..."

　Wendy picked up the dead spot in her hand, aimed it at the farthest target in her field of vision, and then gently pulled the trigger.

　As we all know, the reason why the Rush-class Honkai Beasts are called this is because they are like people with ADHD. Despite their small size, they move extremely fast. If it weren't for their low attack power and the fact that they can be easily countered during the recovery animation of their attacks, these Honkai Beasts would definitely not be ranked as the worst.

　However, hitting a Charge-class Honkai Beast with a ranged attack while it's flailing around requires a certain level of skill; at least in St. Freya's sniping training classes, the students' results are usually abysmal.

　However... Wendy's situation is different.

　Although Wendy was at least several kilometers away from that rush-class Honkai Beast, although the town's environment was extremely complex, with countless buildings in between, and although Wendy's shot was extremely casual, completely aiming at the frame and ignoring the long wall just a dozen meters in front of her...

　However, after a very subtle gunshot... the trace of this Honkai Beast disappeared from the perception map.

　Now it was Lingmo's turn to look at Wendy with a completely bewildered expression.

　Six hundred and sixty-six. Without any acting, this person fired a shot at the wall, and the bullet seemed to have an automatic pathfinding function on Lingmo's map, taking the shortest path and turning four or five corners before shooting that poor Honkai Beast into Honkai energy fragments.

　"Ahem, actually, this is all thanks to you..."

　Wendy said somewhat embarrassedly, "Because your markings were so detailed, it saved me the calculations I needed to perform for positioning, so I could control the force of the bullets more precisely..."

　"Then how about..."

　Lingmo asked tentatively, "You canceled the first screening and just sent me the initial airflow perception map?"

　"Huh? But that thing is really abstract..."

　"Don't rush, I have a little confidence in my analytical skills and computing power."

　Lingmo is also eager to see what Wendy's potential is after combining her abilities: "So, send it!"

　"All right……"

　Wendy swallowed silently. Even she, who was usually so bold, was hesitant to think about it: "Then come closer to me. After all, the perception radius is almost ten times larger than the analysis radius, and the amount of information transmitted to you is quite large... If you are too far away, there may be a delay."

　"Oh……"

　Lingmo glanced at the wearable sensor hanging near Wendy's ear, thought for a moment, then decisively walked behind Wendy and gently wrapped her arms around her from behind, while bringing her face close to Wendy's ear: "Is this okay?"

　"Wait, it's too, too close..."

　The pink-haired girl suddenly pressed against her without warning, her warm breath and pink hair gently brushing against her sensitive ear. Wendy, who had never been so intimate with anyone before, couldn't help but tremble. She never expected that Lingmo, who had seemed a little shy before, would suddenly become so bold.

　However, seeing the girl staring blankly at her sniper rifle, Wendy probably realized something: was she completely unaware that her social distance was a little too close?

　Suzuma seems to have a bit of an airhead vibe...?

　"Never mind... let's leave it at that for now."

　Considering that Suzuma might indeed be a bit airheaded, and that she might suddenly become shy after she realizes what's going on, and also because Wendy doesn't seem to dislike this guy who exudes a strange sense of familiarity, the understanding Miss Wendy decided to ignore the ambiguous position the two were in, which was like they were sticking together, and instead forcefully focus her attention on probing the range of perception.

　"Since the map data changes dynamically based on airflow, I might be dealing with a lot of information, so Suzumo, be prepared!"

　Out of concern, Wendy even gave a special reminder.

　After all, Wendy is still unaware that Suzuma's true nature is the Herrscher of Corruption. Forcibly implanting such a large amount of data into a normal person using a brain-computer interface would indeed pose a risk of brain shutdown in a short period of time.

　"Don't worry... I'm still somewhat confident in my computing power."

　Lingmo, on the contrary, became somewhat impatient.

　Since Lingmo seemed very confident, Wendy didn't try to persuade her anymore. Instead, she silently closed her eyes, and a large amount of data began to flood into Lingmo's mind like a floodgate being opened, as the girl's detection range continued to expand.

　"There are indeed a lot..."

　"Eh? Do you need me...?"

　Hearing Lingmo's mutterings, Wendy, who had been on edge, quickly asked with concern. She didn't want her perfect partner to be sent to the hospital on her first day on the job because of her mistake.

　"No... I mean..."

　A mischievous smile appeared on Lingmo's lips.

　"Are you mentally prepared?"

　The next second, Wendy's view changed completely.

　Wendy wasn't sure what this feeling was like, but right now, the whole world seemed completely transparent to her. It was as if she had a god's-eye view. Within a range of hundreds of kilometers, everything was detected by the airflow and, through Lingmo's transformation, was turned into a scene that was most suitable for her to accept.

　She could even "see" that at that moment, in the Oceania branch's base, Ragnar was putting down the documents in his hand, preparing to secretly take out a bottle of hidden liquor and have a few sips.

　Wendy silently changed to the smallest bullet she had, and then raised her gun.

　A few seconds later...

　"boom!"

　"?!"

　Seeing the bullet that seemed to fly out of nowhere and instantly "opened" his bottle, Ragnar was so startled that he instinctively pulled out a dagger from the holster under the maid's skirt.

　Then, a message popped up in her communications from Wendy.

　"Professor Ragnar, you haven't had much alcohol left this week, have you?"

　Ragnar: "OO?"

　On the other side, Wendy, who had put down her gun, suddenly turned around and hugged Lingmo, her face full of undisguised excitement.

　"Rinma, Rinma, we're a match made in heaven!"

　……

　"Ah!"

　Kiana, who was studying hard in St. Freya, suddenly sneezed.

　"Something feels off... Is Suzumo thinking about me?"

　Chapter 119 Ragnar: The guy who's been feeding me dog food these past few days is bound to end up with me sooner or later.

　With their pleasant first meeting as a foundation, Lingmo and Wendy's relationship naturally and quickly developed into a friendship. In Wendy's view, Lingmo had even unilaterally risen to the level of a close friend.

　Of course, besides Suzuma's special attraction to Herrschers, there is another very important reason why their relationship developed so quickly.

　That is... Suzumo, it's just too good to use.

　It's the same in every respect.

　In combat, Wendy's fighting power increases exponentially with the help of Suzumo. Although Suzumo doesn't significantly improve the power of her bullets, with Suzumo's assistance, Wendy's effective attack range is effectively increased by zero, and even her rate of fire is much faster due to the release of Wendy's own calculation ability. Ragnar often teases her, saying that Wendy is carrying a submachine gun.

　Moreover, the various large-caliber special bullets provided by Changguang were originally comparable to the S-class Valkyrie Zeta in terms of destructive power, and apart from being a bit expensive, they had virtually no drawbacks.

　With such extreme reach, Wendy's own glass cannon's weaknesses are almost completely concealed. With an interception and detection range of hundreds of kilometers, even the silver bullets of anti-entropy might not be able to successfully penetrate Wendy's detection network. Except for those who specialize in stealth like Rita, or those who can withstand attacks and advance hundreds of kilometers, it is basically foolproof.

　Outside of the battle... Wendy finally discovered Suzuma's endearing qualities.

　That is, this guy is a naturally seductive bottom!

　Although Wendy often made suggestive remarks while taking care of her daily needs, even saying things like "Do you want me to help you take a bath?", after they had gotten to know each other for a few days, Wendy actually jokingly asked if she wanted to come in and bathe with her. Lingmo blushed and refused.

　From then on, Wendy enjoyed the feeling of teasing Suzumi.

　Although she only dared to talk about it, as a fellow verbal sparring player, Lingmo's defenses were obviously lower than hers. Therefore, their teasing each other always ended with Lingmo's defeat.

　"I just don't know, what if one of these two kids suddenly takes the plunge and goes along with the other's flirting? Will these two little ones end up rolling around in bed together... Honestly, I don't even have a boyfriend yet."

　Over the phone, Ragnar complained to Ritsuki.

　"Well……"

　Although Li Xue has more life experience than Ragnar, she has never been in a relationship and can only secretly yearn for her master. She fell into deep thought.

　She was seriously considering whether she should go to Lingmo to learn some skills for building relationships with people and figure out how to get closer to her master.

　After all, according to her memory, Lingmo had completely won over the Second Herrscher, Sirin, in just one month back in Babel, and even now, a large number of students at St. Freya still can't forget her. After coming to Oceania for a few weeks, she successfully became more than just friends with Wendy.

　Although at Schicksal headquarters, due to the Valkyries' lifespan and the possibility of their sacrifice at any time, it's not uncommon for teams that start as Valkyrie squads to end up as a chaotic lesbian harem due to a "live for the moment" mentality, it's still quite rare for someone like Suzuma to be able to quickly build relationships with others wherever she goes.

　"This might just be talent..."

　After thinking for a while, Li Xue decisively decided to skip this topic for now.

　"Oh, by the way, Ragnar, actually, the main reason I'm communicating with you this time is to tell you some news."

　"what?"

　"You'll understand once you look at this document."

　"..."

　Ragnar's expression immediately turned serious: "This intelligence is..."

　“Stolen from Bishop Otto.”

　Is this some kind of April Fool's joke?

　"Cough cough."

　Ritsuki looked a little embarrassed: "Actually, Rita found out from the bishop's casual conversation and then secretly told me."

　"In short, I've already packed up and sent you your armor and the heavy sword King Serpent from back in the Stormtroopers, just in case."

　"in addition……"

　Li Xue hesitated for a moment.

　“If the situation really becomes critical, Ragnar, you can try asking Suzumo for help.”

　"Oh?"

　Ragnar's gaze sharpened: "Teacher Lixue, what you're saying..."

　"If there's nothing else, just pretend I never said that."

　"I understand."

　Ragnar sighed, a little exasperated. "Don't worry, at least for now, her status with me is that of Wendy's good friend, and that's enough."

　……

　So, while undercurrents were swirling throughout Oceania, what was our Suzumo doing?

　The answer is... dig a tunnel (seriously).

　"Phew... It feels so good to take a shower at night..."

　Wrapped in a loose bath towel that revealed glimpses of her cleavage, Wendy opened the bathroom door without a care and reached out to Lingmo outside: "Lingmo, Lingmo, quickly carry me to bed, it's so cold outside."

　"You...you could easily sit in a wheelchair by yourself, couldn't you?"

　Lingmo, who was fiddling with the terminal outside, blushed, but her body betrayed her by picking up Wendy's soft body: "And you should put on your bath towel properly!"

　"whee……"

　Wendy chuckled and nuzzled against Lingmo's chest: "Then will you help me get dressed?"

　"Who would do something like that for you! I'm just wearing a maid outfit, not a real personal maid!"

　"Tch~ I gave you the chance, but you didn't dare..."

　Wendy tilted her head slightly and let out a cute nasal sound.

　"Damn it...you little rascal, if I really pin you down on the bed and spank you one day, you'll behave."

　"Hmph, we'll see who beats whom then~"

　Wendy was very satisfied with this kind of daily bickering that went beyond friendship. Or rather, having only experienced high-intensity training since childhood, she had never really experienced friendship with her peers.
