A journey of Shadowverse and Honkai Impact 3rd

Adhering to the traditional concept of friends who share hardships, Sera, with the Mud and Dust Colossus, used mana and space teleportation to immediately send them to the ground. After a few quick trips, she was caught on the spot by another good friend.

"Yodo."

A sharp gust of wind fell behind the orc, and his figure, like a show of skill, flipped over the head of the mud and dust colossus swiftly, causing the colossus to let out an angry "hmm".

"Sorry, this is the fastest route."

Latica, with her clean white curly hair reaching down to her waist and a smirk on her lips, made an OK gesture and then gave Sera a real tiger hug.

"Sera-chan, long time no see~"

After the tiger hug, she was happily lifted up high. Sera, with blushing cheeks, was a little flustered at first, but when she saw that it was Latika, the so-called panic immediately turned into annoyance.

"Latika, put me down!"

The blue eyes flashed with a different kind of brilliance because of anger, and although the bright color of the sun was stimulated by the loss of majesty, it was still very cute, which made Latika unable to let go of the cute thing held high in her hand.

"Ouch, sorry."

After putting the man down, Latika, with a grin on her face, scratched her head as if embarrassed. Her every move and gesture exuded a unique free and easy temperament.

Her feet returned to the ground, and Sera stared at the mischievous Latika for dozens of seconds. The anger in her heart naturally dissipated. Although she was only slightly frightened, she chose to forgive.

"Don't greet me like that next time, or you'll be in big trouble."

She tried to speak the threatening words in a cold voice as much as possible, but judging from Latica's reaction, Sera felt that she didn't seem to be intimidated, which made her feel that her petite appearance had no dignity at all.

You have to grow up quickly!

"Guozi, I do know some delicious kinds. Would you like some, Sera-chan?"

"..."

Speechless, looking at Latika's smile that was trying to please her, and glancing at the movement of the Mud and Dust Colossus that was trying to launch a sneak attack, Sera didn't know how many times she had sighed with sadness today.

"No, I have something else to do."

Sera spoke coldly, and then determined Arisa's location among the sounds of the forest. After a while, in addition to sensing a familiar person, the girl also received Latika's sincere gaze.

Seven parts apology and a surplus of three parts guilt, the fan-shaped structure can make people understand the intention at a glance, and directly touches the softest part of her heart.

"Latika, do you really want to apologize?"

"Hmm."

Latika nodded shyly, which made Sera feel a little strange.

"I forgive you, but you should be moderate in your jokes, okay?"

Sera began to teach by pointing and lecturing. After experiencing the treatment of a teacher, she seemed to understand Thrandal's feelings a little.

It is certainly refreshing to see students accepting things sincerely, but if they look like they are unable to refute something with a frown on their face, then the refreshing feeling will turn into a secret joy, which is quite wonderful.

The happy time was short-lived. However, when Sera was about to use the spell to teleport, Latika made a common request among friends.

"What's up with you guys? If possible, could you take me with you? Life in the forest has been a bit boring lately."

The flow of mana stopped temporarily. At first, Sera thought it was not going to work, but later she felt that it was not so bad. She looked up and down at Latika, and for the first time evaluated this vigorous friend from the perspective of combat effectiveness.

"...Okay! But no pranks allowed!"

She answered very seriously, her delicate face revealing the majesty that would take shape in the future, and Sera, like a little adult, evoked Latica's smile.

"OK~"

50. Arisa wakes up

The wooden house standing on the ground is entwined with vines and dotted with flowers blooming at this time of year, bringing a lot of natural charm.

However, what is more eye-catching is not the peaceful and beautiful house, but the small orchard found after walking in.

The delicate fruity fragrance comes slowly with a cool breath. The clear and beautiful water droplets flow down from the fruits on the trellis, reflecting colorful light, like a small rainbow, making people look forward to the taste of light green fruits.

Although it was unexpected, this was indeed Arisa's home.

buckle -

Knocking on the door with her hard knuckles, Sera politely waited for Arisa to open the door, but Arisa's response also exceeded her expectations.

A minute passed.

Two minutes passed.

knock knock knock.

The wooden door didn't move. It just stood there in front of Sera, with a dull expression on its face, as if silently mocking the visitor who had knocked on the door obediently.

—Don't you know what kind of spirit Arisa is? You expect her to open the door just for a small sound?

"..."

Sera pursed her lips, feeling that her obedient behavior of knocking on the door was indeed inappropriate. Under the watchful eyes of two figures behind her, she chose a very effective way of intrusion.

The fluctuations in space dissipated, and the rigid wooden door could not stop the evil guest from forcing his way in. In just a breath of time, Sera, along with Latica and the Dust Colossus, invaded Arisa's house.

The clean hall is connected to the open kitchen. A workbench filled with longbows and arrows occupies a large area, giving people a sense of the homely atmosphere that balances work and life.

A spiral wooden staircase extended upward from the floor, dotted with some green leaves and full of life. As the footsteps hummed, Sera saw a familiar figure on the second floor.

The long, silky hair was unrestrained, shining brightly in the warm-toned room. The white sheets made the girl's skin look even fairer. Arisa, wearing only a soft nightgown, hugged a large pillow, and immersed herself in a beautiful dream with a peaceful look.

"He was sleeping so soundly, no wonder I couldn't wake him up."

Staring at her sleeping friend with hollow eyes, Sera gave a bad evaluation of the quiet and beautiful Arisa. Then, she walked to Arisa's bed and coldly poked Arisa's cheek with the Green Bud Wand, causing the elf girl to subconsciously grumble.

"Rosalia, I'm already a qualified forest ranger. Don't lecture me like this."

The feeling on her face continued, and the regular impact made her face painful. When Arisa opened her eyes in a daze, the smirking Latica, the expressionless Sera, and the mud and dust colossus that seemed to be about to make a move were reflected in her green pupils.

"Eh!!!!"

A sharp sound rushed into her ears, piercing her eardrums and causing discomfort. Like a cat with its fur standing on end, the elf girl jumped up quickly and, as expected, hit her own ceiling, becoming injured in an instant.

"It hurts..."

Arisa covered her head with both hands, but the pain was wiped away by the healing light the next moment. She blinked her eyes and looked carefully at Sera who had changed her clothes, then asked in a hehehe tone.

"Thanks, Sera, but why are you here at my house? Aren't you on holiday today?"

Her pupils trembled, and thinking of a certain possibility, Arisa performed a vivid eye show in front of Sera, and at the same time, there was a wailing from an office worker.

"No way, did I remember the holiday wrong!!!???"

The huge wailing seemed to shake the house. For a moment, the two men and the giant statue looked at each other in shock.

"What are you thinking about, Arisa? It's just a new mission. My teacher was kind enough to give us young people another opportunity to train."

"Isn't that just overtime?! This sounds even worse. Ugh, that's my hard-earned vacation time!"

Looking at Arisa rolling around on the bed, Sera felt that this was consistent with her impression of a silly girl. She didn't know how she could control her silly behavior during normal work hours.

"Just accept your fate. I was arrested right after I got back. But it doesn't sound like a difficult task. Just treat it as a vacation..."

"What mission... Is what you said credible, Sera?"

After trying hard to calm down, Arisa began to listen to Sera's detailed explanation. As she nodded repeatedly, as if she understood but not quite, a wise light suddenly appeared in Arisa's eyes.

"Going to interact with the four seasons spirits... Indeed, it seems like it can really be called a vacation..."

"Great! Even though I can't sleep well, it's nice to get to know the seniors!"

Your mood changes so quickly, is this the optimist's style...

Too tired to complain about Arisa's change of mood, Sera watched Arisa casually take off her nightgown and take out the archer's clothes from the large storage closet without any precautions.

The graceful curves are fully revealed, and the toned body does not appear plump, but is particularly youthful and energetic. It can be regarded as an excellent figure for an archer. Behind her, wearing a bright red cloak, the heroic elf archer Arisa has returned.

"How is it? It looks good, right? This is the new equipment I bought from Sister Renee."

The shoulder armor and gauntlets containing magical fluctuations emitted unusual fluctuations, and the permanent enhancement stimulated by the equipment made Sera feel itchy.

However, she was not envious of the beauty and usability of Arisa's equipment, but was thinking about whether she could take it apart and study it carefully.

"It looks good, but we shouldn't encounter any danger on this trip, so Arisa, don't even think about showing off your skills."

"That's right. It wouldn't be good if we still worked so hard."

Arisa easily jumped down from the second floor and planned to turn around to catch Sera, but when she looked up, she saw a blank space with no one there.

"Recheck what you need to bring so you don't have to go back again."

Sera, who had transformed into a human-shaped self-propelled portal, gave Arisa a warning. It was just a routine statement, but she received a serious reply from Arisa.

A nimble figure opened the door of his house, picked the vine fruits that everyone was entitled to from the garden outside the house, and then returned with the expectation of praise.

"Although it's a little late, since everyone is here, why not try the vine fruit I planted? I really like it myself."

Feeling the elf girl's eyes on him and hearing the sound of gnawing beside him, the urge to try it rose in his heart, making the fruits in Sera's eyes even more green and juicy.

Click.

Chew, chew, chew...

It was like a fruit from a spring, and once you bit it, it would burst out with refreshing juice. The full juice that seemed to be about to explode wrapped around the sweet flesh was swallowed, and it felt like you had eaten a whole winter.

"I didn't realize you had a talent for this kind of thing, Arisa."

Sera glanced around the garden and felt that there were still many vine fruits. She decided to visit more often in the future...

Well, I should visit Arisa's house more often.

You are right, Latika.

After finishing her meal, Latika gave Sera a look, approving her idea.

51. Soongti

After leaving Arisa's hut, the next destination is the treeman settlement located southeast of "Yktra Hill", an area called "Soongti".

It is said that most of the residents there are tree people and mushroom people. The plants that have gained the ability to move have built a primitive settlement of their own.

“That’s where the seeds for the vine fruit I grow at home come from.”

Thinking of the sweet taste that had been filling her stomach, Arisa smiled with satisfaction. Her leisurely mood as if on vacation made Sera feel that she was getting into the role too quickly.

I haven't seen the Four Seasons Elves yet. Is it really okay for you to just use your past impressions as input?

"So, Alisa, have you been to Soongti?"

The Green Bud Staff and the soft mana summoned enough wind elves, and after chirping, the tiny lives took on this long-distance business.

The atmosphere becomes a driving force for movement. Without the help of any tools, groups of wind elves allow a person to soar into the sky, flying across the endless forest and keeping company with the birds in the sky.

“I haven’t been there.”

"..."

With an expression that said "I knew it", Sera, who was sitting on the dust colossus, looked at the happy Arisa and had a premonition that the next task would not be easy.

Is it that the task itself is difficult, or does it become difficult only with the involvement of someone else?

"The wind in the sky is much cooler."

Unlike Arisa who was flying freely, Latica chose to sit with Sera and chat with them on the fat back of the Dust Colossus.

"Really? I don't think it's particularly cool."

After carefully feeling the temperature of the wind for a while, Sera not only made her evaluation but also activated the magic of ice, using fine ice chips to slightly lower the temperature.

In this way, everyone can enjoy the joy of air conditioning.

"Yo yo yo~ This is very comfortable, Sera-chan is really great."

She picked up the girl in a familiar manner, ignoring her temporary struggle. Smiling, Latika was like an old mother protecting her cub, and "locked" the angry Sera in her arms.

"We agreed not to play pranks!"
