Honkai Impact, please stop imagining it.

"..."

Lin Yu was taken aback by the unexpected kiss.

"Big brother, you are such a kind person. When I grow up, I will definitely marry someone like you."

The little girl looked at Lin Yu intently, her chubby cheeks full of smiles.

"That's great. I hope you'll meet someone like me in the future."

Lin Yu smiled slightly and gently pinched the little girl's cheek.

"By the way, where are your parents?"

He glanced around and realized that no one was looking for the little girl.

"My mother died in a Honkai attack a while ago..."

The little girl lowered her head and said in a slightly tearful voice.

Hearing this, Lin Yu felt a pang of sadness, but in this world where collapse was rampant, such things happened almost every day.

"What about your dad?"

he continued to ask.

"Dad's there!"

The little girl raised her head, tears welling in her eyes, and pointed to a busy middle-aged man at the stall.

That's the stall where Himeko and Mebius were, and the little girl's father is the owner of that stall.

"Big brother, there's one more thing I'd like to ask you..."

Just as Lin Yu was about to take the little girl back, she hesitated for a moment and said...

"Why? Is your dad very fierce?"

Lin Yu asked.

"Um……"

The little girl lowered her head and nodded.

"I can promise you, but you must remember your promise to your brother."

Lin Yu said with a smile.

"Okay~ I will definitely not forget."

Seeing that Lin Yu had agreed, the little girl smiled brightly again.

"Big brother, if you're worried, we can pinky swear. Mom said that if the person who pinky swears doesn't keep their promise, they'll be severely punished!"

She looked at Lin Yu earnestly and explained.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yu was speechless. He remembered that this seemed to be a custom in China.

Is the little girl's mother from China?

"Okay~ let's pinky swear."

Lin Yu extended his little finger, and the two made a pinky promise.

"Pinky promise, for a hundred years, no lying, whoever lies is... is a dog!"

The little girl looked very happy.

Lin Yu brought the little girl back to the stall. The busy owner saw that Lin Yu had brought the little girl back and immediately ran over.

His face was filled with worry and a hint of anger.

"You silly child, I couldn't find you anywhere! Why are you running around like that? I told you not to leave the stall!"

He grabbed the little girl's arm, very angry.

"I'm sorry, Dad..."

The little girl lowered her head, knowing that she had made a mistake.

"Hey buddy, aren't you that guy who went to the restroom? Anyway, thanks a lot, my daughter must have caused you a lot of trouble, right?"

The boss's face was full of smiles, and his eyes were almost squinted into slits.

"It's nothing, she just got lost and I brought her back."

As agreed with the little girl, Lin Yu did not tell the shop owner about the lost teddy bear. If he did, the little girl would probably get a beating.

"Thank you so much, young man. I'll give you a free meal today, I won't charge you."

The boss gratefully shook Lin Yu's hands, his greasy hands sticking to Lin Yu's.

"..."

Lin Yu was speechless.

"No need, no need. It's not easy for you to earn money. I didn't really do anything."

"Oh, that won't do. You've helped me, and I'll feel bad if I don't repay you. How about this, I'll bring you some of my specialty dishes. That should be acceptable to you, right?"

Under the boss's repeated insistence, Lin Yu had no choice but to agree.

"Where did you go? Why did it take you so long to come back? Anyone who didn't know better would have thought you'd passed out in the bathroom!"

himeko teased when he saw Lin Yu finally return.

"Uh... something went wrong."

Lin Yu did not tell Himeko and Mebius about the little girl, but he did tell Himeko about seeing a Honkai Beast near the town.

Generally, if one Honkai Beast appears, other Honkai Beasts may gather nearby. However, Lin Yu did not intend to continue investigating at that time, since there was a little girl waiting there.

"Honkai Beasts? Isn't that normal?"

himeko didn't take it seriously; it was just a Breakthrough-class Honkai Beast, nothing to worry about.

Despite saying that, Himeko's eyes flickered imperceptibly when she heard the word "Honkai Beast".

Lin Yu merely offered a reminder and didn't take it to heart.

Looking at the table full of food, Lin Yu felt like he was starving.

He wolfed down his food at the dinner table and felt resurrected.

The fatigue and hunger were immediately relieved.

Lin Yu patted his belly with satisfaction.

"You rascal, I never knew you could eat so much?"

Mebius stared at Lin Yu, whose face was covered in grease.

"Isn't it because of you?"

Lin Yu retorted.

"Haha, you two."

himeko shook his head, watching the two with great interest.

It was already dark, but the town was brightly lit, and the flow of people was endless, showing no signs of decreasing.

"Lin Yu, are you full?"

Mebius looked at Lin Yu, who was still stuffing food into his mouth, and asked.

She felt that Lin Yu's stomach was like a bottomless pit, as if it could eat up all the food on the table.

"Uh...wuwu..."

While eating, Lin Yu mumbled something incomprehensible.

"Alright, alright, stop talking. Just eat. This whole table is yours. Himeko and I are already full."

Mebius rolled his eyes at Lin Yu.

In fact, her thinking was too conservative.

Lin Yu quickly finished all the food on the table, and even ordered another pork chop rice, still wanting more.

"Lin Yu, what exactly is your stomach made of? I'm definitely going to investigate this thoroughly when we get back!"

Mebius stared in shock at Lin Yu wolfing down his food, as if he could never get enough.

Is this guy some kind of reincarnation of a glutton? He can eat so much.

It's hard to imagine that someone who can eat so much is still so thin.

"Isn't this normal? I've been hungry all afternoon."

Lin Yu complained, feeling that one serving of pork chop rice wasn't enough.

"Oh! I see. It's not because Himeko-sama treated you, so you're taking advantage of him, is it?"

Mebius said irritably.

"What? You actually dare to call Himeko a sheep?"

Lin Yu retorted without backing down.

"You... I didn't say that... Lord Himeko, don't listen to Lin Yu's nonsense!"

Mebius, worried that Himeko would be angry, quickly explained.

"Haha, it's alright, you guys keep arguing, don't mind me, this is interesting..."

himeko lit a cigarette and said nonchalantly.

Just then, a commotion broke out outside the town.

"what happened?"

Mebius was somewhat surprised.

On the town's roads, a group of military personnel surged out of the town.

The residents fled in panic toward the direction of the military district.

"Honkai Beasts are coming!"
