"no problem!"
After hearing Lilith's voice through his earpiece, Luo Chen looked toward the designated location and saw that the number of Honkai Beasts and zombies was decreasing under Lilith's gunfire, which put his mind at ease.
"Alright everyone, let's do our best."
……
"These little guys work together really well."
Himeko gave her evaluation of the group, then zoomed in on Luo Chen's image.
"This key of the gods is incredibly powerful."
"This is just a preliminary test. I will have Luo Chen conduct further tests after we return to St. Freya."
Theresa looked at the screen, picked up Judas who was lying to the side, and looked at Himeko.
"I'm going out for a bit. You stay here and watch over them."
"Okay," Himeko agreed, then looked at Theresa curiously and asked, "But where are you going?"
"Go to the cherry blossom tree we used to visit, and bring them back."
Chapter 25 Return
樱花树下
Yae Sakura looked up at the cherry blossoms falling one by one, a faint smile appearing on her face.
"Ms. Theresa, you've arrived."
As Yae Sakura spoke, she turned to Theresa, who was standing behind her, and said softly, "Where is Mr. Luo Chen?"
"Xiao Chen is a student, and he is currently undergoing a live-fire exercise."
“I understand.” Yae Sakura nodded, her eyes momentarily glazing at Judas on Theresa’s back. Then, her voice trembling, she asked Theresa, “Ms. Theresa, is that Kallen’s weapon on your back?”
Theresa was somewhat surprised and nodded, "That's right, but how did you know?"
“She’s my friend,” Yae Sakura said. “How is Kallen?”
Theresa remained silent for a long while before finally speaking: "Karen... she's dead."
"Is that so?" Yae Sakura swayed, hugging herself tightly, tears streaming down her face. "That's true, after all, five hundred years have passed."
Theresa stood quietly, watching Yae Sakura squat on the ground and cry. After a long time, she stopped crying, stood up, and looked at Theresa.
"Sorry, I made you laugh."
Yae Sakura wiped away her tears and said to Theresa, "So, Ms. Theresa, what do we do next?"
"You stay close to me for now. I'm going to pick up a bunch of little ones, and then you'll come with me."
"I understand."
……
"Finally finished."
Luo Chen retrieved the Jizo Soul, wiped away imaginary sweat from his brow, and said with a sigh of relief.
"Luo Chen, isn't this a bit too cruel?"
Yuno looked at the still-burning Honkai Beast's body and tried to get closer to take a look, but Luo Chen grabbed her clothes and dragged her back.
"Are you an idiot? Getting so close, do you want to get burned?"
"hey-hey."
Yuno scratched her head awkwardly, then ran off to find Lilith, who was walking over.
"Luo Chen, what's wrong with that knife you just used? Why was it on fire?!"
Kiana appeared beside Luo Chen at some point, reaching out to rest her hand on his shoulder with a beaming smile.
"What? Want to play?"
Luo Chen saw through Kiana's thoughts, stretched out his right hand and flicked it outward, and Jizo Mitama reappeared in his hand.
"Ok!"
Kiana stared at the knife in Luo Chen's hand, her eyes sparkling.
"Okay."
Luo Chen smiled and handed the long sword to Kiana. Kiana happily reached out to take it, but as soon as Luo Chen let go, the long sword fell to the ground.
"what's the situation?"
Kiana was puzzled. She bent down to pick up the long sword, but after several attempts, she couldn't grip the hilt, which made her stomp her feet in frustration.
"Damn it! I just can't lift this knife!"
Is it possible that this knife recognizes its user?
As Luo Chen spoke, he bent down and touched the blade of the Jizo Soul, turning it back into a bracelet. Then he stood up and smiled at Kiana.
"That's it."
Kiana was somewhat disappointed, but then suddenly seemed to understand something, and looked at Luo Chen with her hands on her hips.
"So you knew from the beginning?"
"Ah this..."
"Damn it! You idiot Luo Chen, you actually lied to me!"
"I'm sorry!" Luo Chen clasped his hands together and apologized to Kiana: "I'll treat you to a meal when we get back to the academy, so please don't be angry."
"Really? Then I'll forgive you."
Upon hearing that there was food, Kiana instantly perked up and skipped off to find Mei.
"Luo Chen!"
Hearing someone call his name, Luo Chen turned around and saw Theresa standing in the distance waving in his direction, so he called everyone over.
"Auntie! What brings you here?"
Kiana, holding Mei's hand, waved happily to Theresa in front of her.
"I just came to check if you guys were alright. And remember, you have to call me Dean outside!"
Theresa looked at Kiana's smiling face and shook her head helplessly.
"Know it."
"Alright, we can talk about this at the camp later. Let's go."
……
"Yae Sakura has come back with me and I've settled her here."
On the Hyperion, Theresa led Himeko and Luo Chen to a room and spoke to them.
"I must say, you two are quite something, managing to bring back a pseudo-Herrscher."
Himeko stood beside Luo Chen, looking at Theresa with some curiosity: "So how exactly did you manage to convince Miss Yae Sakura?"
"You'll find out later."
Theresa, feigning mystery, knocked on the door.
"Yae Sakura, that's me."
"Ms. Theresa? Please come in."
Yae Sakura's voice came from inside the room, and Theresa then led the two of them in.
As soon as he entered, Luo Chen saw Yae Sakura sharpening a knife and looked at her with some curiosity.
"Yae Sakura, why are you sharpening your sword?"
"A knife will become dull if it is not used for too long."
After sharpening the Cherry Blossom Blizzard in her hand, Yae Sakura put it back in its sheath before looking up at the three of them.
"You three, please take a seat."
Before Luo Chen could even sit down, the necklace on his chest glowed, and Yae Rin floated out from it, rushing towards Yae Sakura.
"elder sister!"
Yae Rin hugged Yae Sakura, and after trying once, Yae Sakura realized that she still couldn't touch Yae Rin, so she kept holding her with both hands.
"Alright, Xiaolin, your older sister is here."
"So, this is why you were able to keep Miss Yae Sakura here?"
Looking at the situation before her, Himeko finally understood the reason and asked Luo Chen.
"The one who jumped out of your necklace, is it Yae Sakura's sister?"
"Hmm." Luo Chen nodded, picked up the necklace and shook it: "This thing is a bit magical, it seems to be able to collect a person's soul."
Do you really believe in the soul?
Himeko looked at the necklace, skeptical of Luo Chen's words.
