Honkai Impact: The Dream Keeper

(P.S.: Two days have passed by now, and Takumi has fully recovered thanks to the Orphnoch's healing abilities. You can choose to read this chapter or not, as it's just a transitional piece. Its purpose is to let you know about the increased combat power of the three main characters. Thank you for your support. Although this chapter isn't very well written, you can at least skip it. I'll try to write better in the future.)

St. Freya Academy —

9 a.m.

"Ugh...uh...ah!!"

Menmo, who had just gotten out of bed, stretched.

"Hey! Xiaoqing, wake up! It's a coincidence, wake up!"

"Understood, Brother Mo."

But Menmo only heard one response; there was no response from Long Qiao.

"Hmm? What a coincidence!"

Having finished washing up, Menmo walked from the sink to the bedside and looked around. He found that only Zhang Qing, a loser, was changing clothes on the bed; Long Qiao was indeed not there.

"Holy crap! Where's my Qiao? She's gone again? Xiao Qing, you went to bed late last night, did you see where Qiao went?"

"It's true I stay up late, but I don't stay up all night. Who the hell would know that?"

"Shall we go out and look for Qiaozi?"

"Let's go!"

Just then, the two brothers, who had just finished dressing, ran into Theresa, Kiana, Himeko, and the other three as they were moving things. Menmo asked in confusion...

"Dean Theresa, what are you moving?"

Theresa and the others turned around when they heard the noise and saw Menmo pointing at the contents of the box and tilting his head to ask a question.

"Oh, these? These are some things Qiaoyao mentioned, something about motorcycle parts. He's currently in the motorcycle garage I provided for you."

"Oh? Then let's go and see what Qiao is up to since he disappeared so early in the morning?"

The two brothers then followed Theresa and the others to the motorcycle garage. Once inside, they noticed that Long Qiao's hairstyle seemed different; it was usually loose, but today it was tied up.

Inside the garage—Long Qiao said without turning her head.

"Oh, you're here? Did you bring my things? Just put them at my feet."

Kiana placed a whole box of parts at Long Qiao's feet, only to see a cloud of dust rise up.

"Cough cough cough... What on earth is in here? Why is it so heavy? It almost killed me!"

"These are all heavy motorcycle parts. I considered that the Motor Pegasus is fragile and easily blown up, so I added some protection."

"Qiao, why don't we help you too?" Men Mo said.

"By the way, what kind of motorcycle parts are in here?" Menmo asked.

"The CFMoto Pegasus is equipped with CFMoto 450SR parts, the Extender with Kawasaki H2 parts, and the Sakura Hurricane is planned to be converted into an Aprilia RSV4. The rest we'll discuss later."

"But the Cherry Blossom Hurricane was transformed from a Locked Seed! What are you going to do about this?"

"Honkai is omnipotent... well, actually it's the system helping out..."

"……I see……"

"We think we're in trouble..."

Long Qiao turned her head to look at Men Mo and said

Men Mo stared blankly at Long Qiao, who had turned her head away, for the image of Long Qiao with a cigarette in her mouth seemed to overlap with the image of an uncle from his memory.

“Narumi… Uncle?! He looks so much like him…” Menmo muttered softly.

"Huh? What are you talking about?"

"No...it's nothing. By the way, what did you say was that something was going to happen to us?"

"I connected the two wires incorrectly...it's going to explode!"

"I see... What?!"

zizi——

The two looked at the circuit in their hands, and realized the danger was imminent.

"Activate automatic owner protection"

"boom--"

The explosion not only echoed throughout the entire St. Freya Academy, but also kicked up a lot of smoke, attracting others to come and watch. Theresa and the others naturally came in to see what was happening.

Between them, Long Qiao and Men Mo had transformed into Faiz and Decade. They exchanged a glance and burst into laughter, because their front bodies were now completely blacked out, with only their two large "light bulbs" still lit.

"I didn't expect it to have an automatic owner protection function, that's great!"

Long Qiao then started working again.

"Hmm... Adjust the nitrous oxide function, and while you're at it, increase the speed limit to see if you can break 500 km/h. Also, adjust the starting speed..."

"OK, finally all set. The starting speed can immediately reach 60 km/h. Next, I just need to reassemble the transformation system, and then everything will be fine."

After Long Qiao finished assembling it, he gave the transformation command to the Motorized Pegasus, which transformed very smoothly. Not only that, Long Qiao also checked other motorcycles to confirm that the transformation was correct.

"I'm a fucking genius..."

Meanwhile, in another place—

Inside the Anti-Entropy Base—

A young man in a white robe looked at the prototype that was about to be completed and smiled slightly.

"Finally finished these two belts, Rider Build... Croz..."

The young man then walked to a nearby machine, removed three small bottles and a dragon-shaped bottle, and then, after speaking with a guard, went outside. Looking around to make sure no one was there, he shouted into the air.

"Xiao Jin, could you open a portal that connects to Qiao's side?"

Then, a portal suddenly opened in the air behind the youth, and a golden beetle emerged from it. The youth then threw the item he was holding into it.

"It's done, time to go back."

The young man, with his hands in his pockets, walked into the darkness.

Meanwhile, Menmo was separated from Long Qiao and the others. Menmo felt someone calling to him from the depths of his being. He then went to an open space and transformed into Kamen Rider Decade. After transforming, a dimensional wall suddenly appeared beside him and pulled him in. After landing, Menmo saw a young man looking at him arrogantly, holding a magenta camera in his hand...

(PS: I'd like to get some people to join the group (309459958). Anyone who can offer suggestions or advice is welcome. How am I supposed to survive with only five people?)
