Honkai Impact: The Dream Keeper

"Tsk... There are still so many Honkai Beasts... Damn it!" Long Qiao held a sharp blade, a cold glint in his eyes.

"Wait, wait, wait! Long Qiao, don't rush!" Qing Mo shouted to Long Qiao after seeing that she was getting impatient.

Back in the Future Arc, Long Qiao's emotions and fighting spirit surged to their peak and he went berserk because he saw too many Honkai Beasts. This time, without the help of a strong person, Qing Mo was afraid.

“Cho... calm down…” Bronya said.

"...Never mind...Let's just solve it once and for all."

Just as Long Qiao was about to transform into his Burst form to deal area-of-effect damage to the Honkai Beasts, several flashes of white light appeared, and the Honkai Beasts suffered heavy casualties. Upon closer inspection, the group was surprised to find that the newcomers were two girls. One girl had pink hair, and the other had blue hair. Each of them had a horn and a tail.

“These Honkai Beasts are nothing special. This is the 20th one. I won! Lilia, according to our bet, you have to give me the cake for dinner!” The pink-haired girl said to the blue-haired girl.

"As expected of Rosalia, she managed to eliminate 20 Honkai Beasts in such a short time. I'm completely convinced," Lilia said.

“However—I knew I would lose, so I ate the cake before I left,” Lilia continued.

“Oh? You’re so cunning!” Rosalia said.

"...Two children? Why are they here?" Theresa asked, puzzled.

"They must have been drawn here by the commotion just now," Qingmo said.

"Who cares about them? I almost lost half my life." Long Qiao said with dead fish eyes.

"...Is it...is it Rosalia and Lilia?" Bronya suddenly asked.

"……Um?"

Bronya's words caught their attention, and the two girls then realized that there were other people present, except that there was a white-haired boy painfully rubbing his chest.

"Lilia, am I seeing things? This person is..." Rosalia suddenly became incoherent the moment she saw Bronya.

“…Rosalia, without a doubt, these iconic ‘drills’…” Lilia said in shock.

"Pfft...pfft...hahahahaha...drill...drill bit...hahahahaha..." Long Qiao covered her chest and laughed loudly, even laughing until tears streamed down her face.

“…Qiao…” Bronya sighed and then “gently” touched Long Qiao’s chest with her right hand.

"Ah!!!" Long Qiao clutched her chest and collapsed to the ground.

"Don't seek death, and you won't die!"

“Bronya! It really is Bronya!” Rosalia exclaimed happily.

Rosalia immediately ran to Bronya and pounced on her, her tail wagging behind her bouncing with joy.

"Long time no see, Rosalia, Lilia, you've both grown up," Bronya said happily.

“Bronya is still the same as before, she hasn’t changed at all,” Lilia said.

“Yes, nothing has changed,” Rosalia added.

“Yeah, I’ve been this tall for a year or two. Hello! My name is Long Qiao! The people behind me are Qing Mo and Theresa.” Long Qiao said, grimacing as she covered her chest with one hand.

"Hello, my name is Rosalia Arlene, and the person next to me is Lilia Arlene. I am also Lilia's older sister," Rosalia said with a smile.

“By the way, why are you here? I almost… didn’t recognize you,” Bronya said, her gaze also falling on the tails behind the two girls.

Seemingly sensing Bronya's gaze, Rosalia also revealed her tail.

"This is..." Qingmo walked over and asked.

“Hehe, what do you think? I love this tail. It’s a gift from Mom to me and Lilia,” Rosalia said.

“It really is Cocolia…” Long Qiao muttered with a strange expression.

“Alright, let’s get down to business. Sister Bronya and Brother Longqiao, you came with Dr. Einstein, right? Rosalia and I were sent by Mom to welcome you,” Lilia said.

"Did you encounter any of these creatures that died from exhaustion when you came here?" Long Qiao pulled out a stack of photos of Orphnoch and other strange creatures from his pocket and showed them to the two girls.

“These? No, I don’t,” Rosalia said.

"No... As expected, they came to find me..." Long Qiao muttered.

"What's wrong?"

"It's alright, you can take us to find Cocolia now," Long Qiao said.

Bronya then told the two girls to wait where they were, while the three of them went to find Theresa. Bronya also told everyone about Rosalia and Lilia. During this time, Einstein also arrived. Bronya led everyone to Rosalia, and Rosalia introduced herself and Lilia.

"By the way, are you two the only ones who came out with the Honkai Beasts?" Theresa said.

"Hmm? Little friend, who are you calling a child?" Rosalia asked.

“We’re adults now. If you keep treating us like children, we’ll suffer,” Lilia said.

"Exactly, exactly! You'll be shocked when I tell you, Lilia and I each have a Honkai Beast inside us, we're super powerful!" Rosalia said.

"Honkai Beast!" Long Qiao and Qing Mo exclaimed in shock.

"I'm sorry, this is our secret. Please don't ask. That concludes our introductions. Let's get going," Lilia said.

"Alright then," Long Qiao said expressionlessly.

Einstein and Lilia were communicating on the side, while Qingmo whispered to Long Qiao.

"Third brother, what do you mean?" Qingmo asked.

"What do you mean? Hmph... Let's see what Cocolia is up to first. She's really insane." Long Qiao said with a sneer.

"I will slaughter all the Honkai, annihilate all the Orphnochs and other monsters, including myself."
