After clearing Type Moon, start fighting for a better world

After hearing this, Bronya also understood what Mei Raiden meant.

"So, Mei-nee wants us to check on your friend, right?"

"Yeah, that's about it." Raiden Mei nodded. "Wait, shouldn't we first determine the reward? Although I don't have much pocket money... Is 200,000 yen okay?"

Bang!

Suddenly, there was a sound of something falling to the ground in the kitchen. Lily and Nami, who were walking back and forth in the store, froze. Several other customers also looked over in surprise.

Two hundred thousand yen.

Strictly speaking, this was not a large sum, and was just a drop in the bucket for Mei Raiden. But it was not a small sum either, and was equivalent to the income of a cafe for almost three days.

(As expected of the eldest daughter of the Raiden family and ME Company, she is generous.)

This is what everyone in the store is thinking at this moment.

"...Too much, Mei-nee."

Unmoved by the money, Bronya calmly shook her head and said, "We won't charge that much, and the reward is only collected after the commission is completed. If the commission is not completed, we will not charge any reward. In addition, we don't accept every commission. If possible, please ask Mei to answer Bronya's questions below, and then the store manager will decide whether to accept it."

"Well, let's do as you ask."

"So--"

Bronya took out a notebook specially used for accepting commissions from behind the bar and asked a few questions about the content of Raiden Mei's commission, and Raiden Mei answered them one by one.

The classmate that Mei Raiden mentioned was named Yuno, and she was in the same class as him. She had asked for three days off a week ago. I should mention here that although it was summer vacation, Chiba Academy would not have a holiday until July 7. However, unlike normal study, since the final exams were completed at the end of June, the entire July was considered as extra tutoring.

After all, it's for further studies.

Back to the point, Yuno asked for leave because she was not feeling well, which was not suspicious. According to the teacher, Yuno's voice was indeed hoarse when she asked for leave. However, Yuno did not come to school three days later, and no one answered the phone when she called her home.

As for Yuno's situation in Senba Academy... in layman's terms, she is a nobody.

All the students in Chiba Academy are young ladies, but young ladies are divided into different levels. Mei Raiden is the highest level, while Yuno is the lowest level. She has average grades, average looks, and a family that can barely enroll in Chiba Academy. She doesn't seem to have anyone she can call a friend.

The main reason why Mei Raiden became friends with her was because she was the class monitor, but even so, Mei Raiden rarely spoke to Yuno.

The reason why I wanted to entrust the coffee shop to check on Yuno's condition this time was mainly because of my sense of responsibility as the class monitor.

......

"Hmmmm, I see."

Looking at the matters related to Mei Raiden's commission sorted out by Bronya, Lin, who came over with the "Everything Goes" parfait during the conversation, nodded with his chin in his hand.

"At first glance, there doesn't seem to be anything particularly wrong... But, Miss Mei, have you ever thought about confirming the situation of Miss Yuno yourself?"

"I....."

Mei Raiden's expression darkened. After a short silence, she said somewhat dejectedly, "I... don't have that kind of time."

"How to say?"

"My family has a curfew. Although my father lets me do whatever I want, he also has very strict requirements on me. I am not allowed to go out after 8 o'clock in the evening. Yuno's house is far away from mine. If I go to visit her after school, I will not be able to get home in time. On weekends, I will stay at the shrine all the time, so..."

(Ah~~~~ this is what happens in wealthy families.)

Lin showed a very understanding expression.

After all, Raiden Mei's identity is special, and there must be many people who are plotting against her. Raiden Ryoma made this arrangement to protect his daughter's safety, right? Otherwise, if the daughter of the ME company ran around casually, she would attract kidnappers in a minute.

"Okay, it's decided!"

After thinking for a while, Lin slammed the table and stood up: "Ms. Mei, we have accepted your commission. Bronya, you can take care of it after closing today."

"Bronya got it."

"As for the reward... let's talk about it tomorrow. We also need to see the results of Bronya's actions tonight before we can decide how much is appropriate - is this arrangement okay, Miss Mei?"

Mei Raiden nodded quickly: "Of course. Thank you for accepting my commission. Also, thank you for troubling you this time, Bronya. In addition to the reward, why don’t you come to the shrine this weekend? Just consider it as an additional..."

"Bronya doesn't think it's a bother. However, Bronya has plans for the weekend and can't accept Mei's invitation."

"Is that so... Then there's nothing we can do."

25. Armed Girl Bronya

Night fell soon.

After hanging a "Preparing" sign outside the coffee shop, Lin locked the door and turned off the lights in the shop and came to the kitchen.

"Are you ready, Bronya?"

"Yes."

In the kitchen, after checking her equipment one last time, Bronya, who had already changed into her Valkyrie combat uniform, nodded: "Bronya is ready to attack at any time."

"...It's just a mission similar to an infiltration investigation, but you're really serious about it."

Lin smiled bitterly as he pulled out the twin water fairy guns that Bronya had pinned on her thighs. "Also, the use of Honkai energy weapons requires prior permission, but I will not approve it this time."

"why?"

"You're not going to fight Honkai beasts, so why bring Honkai weapons? Ordinary firearms will do, use bullets sparingly, and remember to install silencers—whoa! You even brought grenades for Honkai beasts? Are you going to be a terrorist?"

"Because Bronya thinks there's a chance of encountering Honkai beasts."

"If a Honkai beast appeared, the branch would have notified us long ago, and the Honkai alarm in our store would have been ringing non-stop... Okay, that's about it!"

After removing all the anti-Honkai weapons of all sizes from Bronya's body, Lin took out a one-meter-long modular long sword from a drawer nearby: "If you must bring a Honkai weapon, I can only allow you to bring this, a prototype Honkai long sword."

"You are too lightly armed. If you encounter a Honkai beast above the tank level, Bronya thinks you won't be able to protect yourself like this—"

Snapped!

A bullet to the forehead interrupted Bronya's words. Lin smiled and touched her head: "If that happens, we will rush over to support you as soon as possible. So don't think too much, just relax and carry out the mission. If you finish it early, you can come for a midnight snack."

"...Bronya received."

After confirming that Lin would not allow her to carry more equipment, Bronya could only sigh helplessly, put the sword on her waist and walked out of the kitchen.

As he watched Bronya leave, Lin put away the smile on his face only after she left the coffee shop: "Then Nami, I'll leave everything to you from now on."

"Copy that, Captain."

On the second floor of the coffee shop, Nami, wearing a maid-style combat uniform, walked down the stairs carrying a sniper rifle and nodded slightly: "I will protect Bronya - the captain and Lily must also be careful, ME Club is not simple."

"Of course I know, and I also hope that I am just overthinking it - what about Lily? Is she ready?"

"...She has a stomachache and is in the toilet."

Forest:"......."

--------------------------

The night in Changkong City is not quiet.

Thanks to the rapid development in recent years, the nightlife in Changkong City has been steadily enriched. Although it is almost nine o'clock in the evening, the streets are still brightly lit, vehicles are coming and going in an endless stream, and pedestrians on the roadside are talking and laughing, with no decrease at all compared to the daytime.

After all, everyone has work to do during the day, so naturally we have to enjoy ourselves at night.

From time to time, guests' shouts and cries of persuasion could be heard from the pubs on the roadside. High school girls dressed up in fancy clothes walked in groups of two or three, singing praises of youth. Boys also gathered together, sometimes laughing loudly while looking at their phones, and sometimes chatting about various things...

There was no sign of lights being turned off in the tall buildings all over the city, and the neon lights everywhere illuminated the night sky as if it were daytime.

This is a situation that you won't see in Siberia. There, as soon as it gets completely dark, there are few people on the streets. Only street lights are on the entire street, and most households turn off the lights and go to bed early.

But it has been almost a year since Bronya left Siberia. Now she is not surprised by the prosperous scene before her. She just concentrates on moving towards her mission destination.

Walk through the busy streets and leave the bustling city center.

As if ignoring all the prosperous and rich night scenes of Changkong City, Bronya, who set out from the city, gradually moved away from the crowd, turned her back to the neon lights and walked towards one of the few dimmed places in Changkong City - the ordinary residential area.

There are many high-end apartments in Changkong City, but there are also many ordinary single-family and even cheap apartments. After all, not everyone is rich enough to live in high-end apartments or villas. These ordinary residential areas are distributed in the middle and outer areas of Changkong City, a certain distance from the city center.

Yuno, who Mei Raiden asked Bronya to check on, lives here.

Following the address left by Mei Raiden and referring to the map, Bronya finally arrived at her destination after walking for nearly ten minutes.

"Is this right here?"

Looking at the ordinary two-story building in front of her, Bronya put away her phone, took two steps back and looked around.

(There was nothing strange from the outside, and most of the neighbors had turned off their lights... Was the problem really inside?)

Thinking this, Bronya walked up and rang the doorbell.

“Ding Dong~~~~”

The doorbell rang, breaking the silence in the neighborhood.

But no one came out to open the door.

(Sister Mei said that no one answered the phone after she called, and now no one came out after she rang the doorbell, so -)

"Hmm? Little sister, were you the one who rang the doorbell next door just now?"

Just then, a woman came out from the house next door.

Bronya nodded slightly: "Yes, because this family ordered takeout, Bronya is here to deliver the food."

As she spoke, Bronya turned her backpack around to show the woman, and the woman immediately laughed: "Oh, is it the coffee shop in front of the station? I've been there before, and your coffee tastes great. I didn't expect you can deliver it?"

"Yes, it's a delivery service that was just launched recently." Bronya nodded, "But no one has come out to open the door. Did they just not help themselves?"

"No, there were people living here a while ago, but it's been a little strange these past two days. I made too much stewed potatoes and meat yesterday and wanted to give them some, but no one came out to open the door - could they be traveling?"

"Is that so? Thank you, Auntie. Maybe Bronya made the wrong delivery address."

After bowing her head and thanking the woman, Bronya turned and left.

"What a polite child. But she's so young... Never mind. She probably just looks small, right?"

Without thinking too much about Bronya's behavior, the woman quickly returned to her home.

And the next moment——

"Click..."

Returning to Yuno's house, Bronya calmly put on gloves and pried open the door lock. Then she took out a gun from her backpack, turned on the safety and installed the silencer, and walked quietly to the entrance.

(Confirm that there is an abnormality.)

(Bronya is about to adopt armed work mode.)

26. Bronya, secret search

There are two types of Valkyrie courses in Destiny.

One is a course specifically for training general Valkyries. Valkyries who receive this training will generally be assigned to various branches and embark on the battlefield with Honkai beasts.

The other is a course specifically designed to train special Valkyries.

Due to the existence of artificial stigmata, there is actually no shortage of Valkyries fighting Honkai beasts. In addition, not everyone is suitable to fight Honkai beasts, so some Valkyries will be arranged with special courses and finally trained to be special Valkyries who operate in secret.

Public security coordination, logistics supply, intelligence investigation...even stealth assassination, these are all the training that Valkyries need to receive.

Of course, in Theresa's St. Freya Academy, this kind of skill required for "doing dirty work" could not be taught as a formal course. At best, it was taught appropriately as an elective course considering the possibility of human combat. Theresa did not want her students to become assassins.

But unfortunately, Bronya was very interested in these courses. She took them for two consecutive semesters and got full marks in both.

Therefore, Bronya has a lot of experience in stealth.

"Click..."

She opened the door with minimal movement and quickly pointed the gun into the house. After confirming that there was no one in the house and anything was wrong, Bronya walked into the entrance as quietly as possible and gently closed the door.

There was no light in the house, but Bronya could still see the surrounding situation clearly. The artificial stigma not only improved the Valkyrie's resistance to Honkai, but also enhanced her physical abilities. The dim space could not affect the Valkyrie's vision.

(It’s very quiet, no sound can be heard, is there really no one in the house?)

(There are three pairs of shoes placed at the entrance, but the floor is already covered with dust... Mei said that Yuno's family consists of three people, which means that the family has not left the house since the last time they returned home?)

However, judging from the dust on the ground, the entrance had not been stepped on by anyone for at least four or five days.

Bronya walked around her shoes and onto the floor, slowly approaching the nearest door with her gun in both hands.

(Is it a living room...also a dining room and kitchen?)

After observing the layout of the space behind the door, Bronya walked into the living room, took a quick look around, and then went into the kitchen.

(There are unwashed dishes in the sink, the faucet is not completely turned off, and the rag falls to the ground... Hmm? Is this blood?)
