One soul, two twins, the other half is Bronya

"Is that... a vampire?"

Thinking about the vampires who were close to Himeragi Yukina, Kirasaka Sayaka quickly locked onto her target, "Akatsuki—Kojo—! Damn it, he got away with it!"

……

At the same time, two figures suddenly appeared in the sea some distance away from Genshin Island.

"It should be fine here."

As she spoke, Xiao Lingcai's feet were enchanted with magical power, and she stood steadily on the sea, ignoring the waves. "Alright, Watora, are you ready to face failure?"

"From your tone...if it's really what I think, then it means I've already lost in the future, right? Interesting, let me see how I lost!"

Even though he knew he would lose, Wattola showed no sign of retreating, his fighting spirit growing even stronger. He grinned fiercely, a burst of crimson magic erupting as he went all out!

"Upala, Sagara, and Bhananda!"

"Nanda, Manas..."

On the blue sea, giant snakes appeared, some ferocious, some elegant, or even in groups, with pairs of scarlet and ferocious eyes staring at Xiao Lingcai.

"The Eight Dragon Kings?"

Having fought with Watola in the future, Xiao Lingcai is of course very clear about the opponent's trump card.

Wattola has nine familiar beasts. Besides the eight dragon kings, the last one is himself! He merged with his own familiar beasts, becoming the "Ninth Familiar Beast," and this also gave him incredible power.

"But that's not enough."

A massive formation spread out from Xiao Lingcai's feet, leveraging the power of the ocean. The seemingly tranquil ocean was actually incredibly deep, far beyond the power of a single individual.

Then, several streams of water converged on the spear blade, and Xiao Lingcai's power continued to rise.

"This power..."

Wattola also felt the pressure coming from Xiao Lingcai—he would lose! But even so, he was still smiling, calling on his familiar to fuse, and giving it a try.

One giant snake after another intertwined together, and their respective magic powers began to blend, eventually becoming one.

"Roar--!"

The eight-in-one fused beast roared towards the sky. The impact of the roar alone shattered the clouds, revealing a clear sky.

On the sea, Wattola opened his arms wantonly, standing in front of the ferocious giant snake and laughing crazily: "Hahahaha! Come on, let's fight it out!"

"Still so crazy."

Xiao Lingcai wasn't surprised. After all, Wattola had always given her that feeling. She gripped the spear tightly, its golden glow gleaming. "But... I will win!"

Xiao Lingcai tensed her body, and magic patterns burst out from her body, greatly enhancing her strength, and then... the golden spear was thrown out fiercely!

"Defeat him, Gun Gold!"

At the same time, the formation under her feet flashed, and bright blue light shone, trying to stir up the overall situation of this sea area as much as possible and blend this power into it.

Huge columns of water rose into the sky, forming vortexes and following the golden spear, constantly interweaving and merging... transforming into vigorous water dragons, swooping down towards Watola with unstoppable momentum.

"Ha ha ha ha--!"

Seeing this, Wattola laughed like a madman, manipulating his beast to meet the enemy head-on, even if it was just a futile attempt. "That's right! That's the way it should be!"

"Boom boom boom——!"

Accompanied by a deafening roar, the deep sea erupted with its violent side, and towering tsunamis rushed and swept in all directions, as if the god of the sea was furious and wanted to destroy everything.

"We can't let this spread~"

On the turbulent sea, Xiao Lingcai ignored the surging waves and continued to stand firmly on it.

Behind Xiao Lingcai, a strange shadow slowly appeared. As the daughter of the True Ancestor, how could she possibly have so few familiars? It's just that they generally don't need them.

She slowly crouched down, reaching a hand into the sea, and the huge formation surrounding her shone with brilliance again. "Calm down, and everything will return to its original state."

"Om-"

These two simple sentences had the effect of a command, calming the rage of the sea and making everything calm again.

After doing all this, Xiao Lingcai stretched his muscles and bones, looking refreshed. "Hmm...refreshing! It's so good to be able to let go and fight. My mood has become much clearer."

"Then I'll go back first, Watora. I believe you can get up by yourself."

Saying this, Xiao Lingcai waved her hand behind her and took a step into a space magic circle... The magic circle flickered and teleported Xiao Lingcai back to Caihai Academy.

. . .

There are seagulls flying in the sky and waves on the sea. Everything is so quiet and peaceful.

However, a figure slowly floated up from the sea—it was Wattola! His hair was disheveled, and his white suit was tattered, making him look extremely disheveled.

Defeated in the ultimate duel, he almost lost all his strength and could only go with the flow, floating among the waves.

“…, I lost.”

Watola looked up at the sky, the dazzling sunlight made him squint unconsciously, and then... thinking back to the battle just now, the feeling of trying his best and burning everything - this is what it feels like to be alive!

“Haha, hahaha! Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!”

Crazy laughter echoed above the sea.

374. Parting is approaching

After the battle between Akatsuki Reina and Watora, Genkami Island immediately imposed martial law to investigate what happened in that sea area.

Such a huge wave, and then calmed down in an instant, this is no small matter. Of course, this matter was carried out in secret and was not known to ordinary people.

"Hey Lingcaijiang, you really made quite a scene this time~"

Although it caused quite a stir, Bronya only commented lightly, without any intention of blaming him.

Generally speaking, Bronya was the type who would not help her family when it came to "small matters," and besides, nothing had happened here. As for Wattora... did this have anything to do with her?

She took Xiao Lingcai to eat and drink, and nothing major happened in the following days. It can be said that they had a lot of fun.

……

A few days later, Xiao Mengcong from the future anchored Lingcai's time period and sent a message using her as the anchor point, "Lingcai, are you still not done over there?"

"Ah? This... it's almost done. We'll be back soon."

The dragon beast had been captured, the danger averted, and strictly speaking, Xiao Lingcai was no longer involved. She was simply hanging out there for fun, so her answer felt a bit guilty.

→_→

"Will it take so long? According to my calculations, with Byakuya and Sister Bronya here, it shouldn't take this long. Are you having so much fun that you don't want to come back?"

Σ(っ°Д °;)っ

I've been caught slacking off! Xiao Lingcai suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, rolling his eyes as he thought about how to get away with it. "Well, well... I should say goodbye properly, right?"

"Wait a little longer. Xuecai recently returned to the Lion King Agency to report. Let's talk after she comes back."

"You……"

In the projection, Xiao Mengcong sighed, "You're still like this~ You don't even want to call her mom."

"Who told her to be so strict all the time! And it's been so long... I'm almost used to it, and I can't change it all of a sudden." Xiao Lingcai said as she turned her eyes away, with a hint of arrogance.

"You say one thing and mean another~"

Seeing this, Xiao Mengcong secretly shook her head and did not expose her, "Forget it, you can handle this matter yourself. Also, we are not from that era after all, so remember to be restrained in what you do."

"Okay, okay, I get it, Mengcong. That's it, I'll hang up first." After a few excuses, Xiao Lingcai hung up the phone, and the image of Mengcong in front of him disappeared.

"Boom boom boom——"

There was a knock on the door, followed by Bronya's unique voice, "Zero-chan, what happened in your room? If you don't mind, I'll come in~"

"Here I come, Sister Bronya."

As questions were being asked outside, Xiao Lingcai put on her small slippers and ran to open the door. "I'm fine, it's just that Mengcong is rushing me. Um... Sister Bronya should know Mengcong, right?"

"I know. Asagi's child~ She's here to urge you to go back, right?"

"Yeah, this isn't my time after all."

As she said this, Xiao Lingcai looked at Bronya carefully and said, "I say... Sister Bronya, don't you feel anything at all? I'm leaving soon!"

"It's not like I can't see you anymore."

In her big duck pose, Bronya was taller than Akatsuki Reina. She raised her hand and gently rubbed her little head, looking very harmonious. "Speaking of which, Reina-chan, we're leaving soon, aren't you going to see them?"

"Well, let's wait for Setsuna to come back from the Lion King Agency. Then we can say hello before leaving."

"Is that what you think?"

Bronya gave Xiao Lingcai a meaningful look, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly. "I forgot to tell you, from what I know, Xuecai-chan will be back tomorrow."

???

Upon hearing this news, Xiao Lingcai's body stiffened slightly. Taking this opportunity, Bronya raised her other hand and pressed it against Lingcai's head, rubbing it hard.

"Sister Bronya!"

"Okay, okay, just stay if you want to. We don't mind anyway." After satisfying herself a little, Bronya also started to take care of Xiao Lingcai's hair, her tone full of tolerance.

……

The next day, Himeragi Yukina returned from her routine checkup with something on her mind. She mentioned the Snow Wolf to her teacher, as Bronya had mentioned. And the result...

"Yukina, you've made great progress. Perhaps it's been too long? The core module of the Snow Wolf is somewhat damaged. How should I put it? Well, it needs some technical adjustments."

These were the exact words of her master Yuantang Yuan. Xuexia Wolf really couldn't keep up with her!

It was also for this reason that Himeragi Setsuna was preoccupied with her worries along the way, and her troubles were almost written on her face: Without Xuexia Wolf, could she really still be considered a qualified "observer"?

"Himehiru, what are you doing...?"

Originally, Akatsuki Kojou was just greeting Himeragi Setsuna normally, but when he saw her face, his tone became hesitant, "Did something happen?"

"No, it's nothing, Senior."

In response, Himeragi Setsuna simply shook her head, trying to dissuade Akatsuki Kojou from asking further questions. Unfortunately... she didn't see how forced her smile looked.

Akatsuki Kojou was anxious. He put his hand on Himeragi Yukina's shoulder, leaned down slightly, and stared at her with his eyes. "Himegi, is there anything you can't say? Tell me!"

"It's just that her Xuexia Wolf is almost worn out. It's really not a big deal."

At this moment, a space spell was performed nearby, and Xiao Lingcai, dressed in a blue and white school uniform, walked out. "Come with me, Sister Bronya wants to see you two."

"Speaking of that guy, you should have told your superiors, right? They didn't provide you with any solutions?"

Xiao Lingcai was walking ahead, seemingly casually mentioning the topic. Clearly, she wasn't completely unconcerned. However, her back was always turned to Xiao Kojou and the others, so her expression was undetectable.

"..."

Regarding this, Himeragi Setsuna did not answer, but sometimes silence itself is an answer.

"Really... I'm not used to you suddenly being so quiet. Never mind, I'll just give you a heads up. You can go ask Sister Bronya, I think she should be able to help you."

"Really!"

With just one sentence, Himeraira Setsuna immediately perked up, and the low pressure on her body dissipated a lot.

"Of course, otherwise why would she remind you? Of course, she has the corresponding means. I just didn't expect that the Lion King's mechanism would be so weak and there's nothing we can do about it."

"You are not allowed to say that about the Lion King Agency! Master and the others are just... yes, time is just too tight, there must be a way!" Having grown up in the Lion King Agency, Himeragi Yukina will not allow Akatsuki Reina to belittle her own home.

"Okay, okay, everything you said is right."

Xiao Lingcai said a few perfunctory words, not wanting to say anything more. She led the two to the office door and said, "Okay, we're here."

As she spoke, she silently added in her heart: Yes, it's time to say goodbye.

375. Dragon Beast's Explosion

"You are here."

In the office, Bronya slowly turned her swivel chair and faced Akatsuki, Reina and the other two who came in from the door.

"Teacher Bronya, you reminded me about the Snow Wolf last time. Do you have any solution for this?" Without waiting for Bronya to say anything, Himeragi Yukina stepped forward and asked anxiously.

"Oh, the Lion King Agency can't do anything about it? I thought they would give you a new one."

As she spoke, Bronya elegantly crossed her legs, the semi-transparent silk stockings reflecting a slight luster, charming and attractive. "Alright, I know what you're talking about. I'll prepare it for you."
