Honkai, why do you only play high-end games?

She wanted to be patient, but she couldn't help it in the end. She put down her bowl and chopsticks, threw herself into her mother's arms and burst into tears.

"But... I miss you guys so much..."

Jie'er burst into tears, no longer possessing her former strength and composure. She was like a child who had wandered for a long time, wounded and exhausted, and now had finally returned home. In front of the adults, she shed all her burdens and disguises and became a child again...

Mom and Dad comforted her gently, allowing her to vent all the grievances and sorrows she had suffered over the years, and this lasted for a long, long time.

Later, when Jier was tired of crying and had cried enough, she sat up reluctantly.

Dad poured her a large cup of hot water, and Mom went back to her room to change her clothes that were soaked with her tears, and then the little family enjoyed this warm dinner to their heart's content again.

"I can't eat anymore..."

Jier touched her bloated stomach and looked at the huge table of leftover food with some heartache.

How long will this take?

Then, mom and dad smiled and refused their daughter's request to help, and busied themselves putting the dishes into the kitchen.

"Ding dong..."

Doorbell rang.

How come there are still customers at this time?

Although Jier felt a little strange, he still opened the door on his own initiative to see who the guest was.

As soon as she opened the door, Jie Er couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

"team leader?"

"Why, don't you invite me in to sit down?"

A heroic, tall and sexy woman stood outside the door in a somewhat lazy and casual manner. She stretched out her hand and pointed behind Jier, smiling gently.

Jier quickly made way.

“What a beautiful house.”

The woman was not polite and walked in boldly, looking around and said with a smile,

"It's a pity that this place was no longer like this when I came here last time."

After the collapse, only ruins remained here, and she only had time to rescue a little girl who was hiding in the closet and struggling to survive.

"team leader……"

Jier's smile was somewhat helpless. It always felt weird to say such words at this time.

"My daughter has a friend coming over, let's hide for now."

When mom and dad saw a guest coming, they greeted her with a smile, then went into the kitchen together and closed the door.

The house was quiet again for a while.

"Captain, long time no see..."

Looking at the woman in front of her whom she once admired immensely, Jier was the first to break the silence with emotion.

"Haha, you're the captain now too."

The beautiful woman smiled and corrected herself; then she asked curiously,

"Jier, how does it feel to be the captain?"

"not so good."

Jier complained,

"I'm exhausted. None of those guys are worry-free..."

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

The woman burst into laughter, her body shaking with laughter, and her graceful figure trembled, making Jie'er feel embarrassed.

Of course she knew why her captain was laughing.

Sure enough, after the woman had laughed enough, she rubbed her cheeks which were a little stiff from laughing, and still said with a smile,

"Now you know how I felt when I first took care of you, little one?"

"Uh……"

Jie Er blushed, and then grumbled a little unconvinced.

"Old women love to show off their experience. I'm doing just as well as you are now!"

"What did you say?"

The woman glared at Jie Er fiercely, making her feel embarrassed. Then she sighed, looked Jie Er up and down, and said seriously with a satisfied and relieved smile,

"Well done, Captain Jer Mist."

“…Yes, Captain!”

Jier felt a surge of warmth in her heart, and she couldn't help but raise her head and chest, as if she was back to the time when she had just become a new Valkyrie recruit.

"Okay, time is limited, let's go meet other people."

The woman patted her shoulder encouragingly, her tone gentle.

"They are all waiting for you..."

"……Um!"

Jier nodded heavily, took one last look back at her home, and then without hesitation, she pushed the door open and walked out resolutely; her captain looked at her back with a smile on his face and watched her leave.

As soon as she opened the door, the world changed suddenly. Jier returned to the church orphanage that she had always dreamed of. This was her other home, the place where she could start a new life.

"Jier, are you back?"

A kind voice woke up the dazed Jier.

"Dean..."

Jier came back to his senses, looked at the white-haired nun in front of him, and knelt down in front of her with apologetic feelings, confessing,

"I'm sorry, I didn't protect you..."

Jier felt like he had messed up everything and didn't have the face to come back here.

"Good boy, how could that be? Get up quickly."

The old man quickly helped her up.

"You are all my children, my pride; I am the one who is sorry for you..."

"Dean..."

Jier felt more and more sad and ashamed.

"Stop talking, kid. Go home. It's all over. You've done well. This will always be your home."

The old man patted her hands gently and comforted her,

"Come in quickly, they are all waiting for you."

"Ok!"

Jier wiped her tears, stood up and strode in.

"Hey, you're finally here? I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

A young girl came towards her and waved to her.

"Andre..."

Jier looked at the familiar figure, feeling a little emotional, and then looked behind her.

"Where are the others? Why are you the only one here?"

"The five of them are busy preparing for the welcoming banquet, so let me come out to greet you!"

Ander smiled and handed the small box in his arms to Jier.

"Hey, these are freshly baked cookies, try them!"

"do not want!"

Jie Er looked disgusted.

"Whose cookies don't have sugar in them?"

She guessed somewhat maliciously that Ander was kicked out for this reason.

"But eating too much sugar will make you fat!"

Ender argued.

"Whose Valkyrie is afraid of being fat?"

Jier refuted bluntly, just like the bickering they often had in the past.

"Hey, I don't care!"

Ander took out a biscuit from the box, slapped it on Jill's face without saying a word, and smiled.

"No, I have to let you know that sugar-free cookies are the best!"

"you!"

Jie'er was unable to react in time and was smeared in the face.

Unexpectedly, the cookie didn't feel warm as expected, but rather icy cold...

………………

"Well……"

Jier struggled to wake up, feeling severe pain all over his body.

There were still ruins all around, and in the distance, the Honkai beasts were still slowly approaching her.

In the end, he didn't get anywhere and ended up in that hell called "Manila".

"It's a dream..."

She thought with some disappointment, feeling extremely lost. She wished that everything that had just happened was real...

The cool touch on my cheek was still there, exactly the same as I had felt at the end of the dream.

She struggled to raise one hand and took the object that gave her a cold touch from her face, wanting to see what it was.

"This is?"

As soon as she saw it, she was stunned.

It was a photo frame, the mirror was miraculously still intact, and inside was a photo of a young girl, who was looking at Jier with a bright smile, as if asking her if she was satisfied with this "prank".

"Could it be that……"

Jier struggled to sit up and looked around.

This place has been razed to the ground, but the old bricks and tiles, and the bell tower with a spire remaining and collapsed to the ground, all give her a familiar feeling.

"Ah……"

Jie Er was silent for a while, then laughed softly. The more he laughed, the more relaxed he felt, and the louder he laughed.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha……"

"So, I really went home..."

Jie Er smiled very happily.

"You all came to pick me up, right?"

"Ow!"

In the distance, the knight-level Honkai beast sensed the unusual noise here and rushed over here again with its spear held high.

Jier couldn't help but get furious.

"My home... is it something a scum like you can act so recklessly?!"

She fumbled for her weapon and struggled to her feet, ready to fight one last battle to protect her home.

As soon as his left hand touched a piece of stone, his right hand touched the familiar handle of a knife.
