I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

Finally, while playing games at Yuhaka's house, Sirin suddenly saw weapons like pistols and wondered what weapon she should use as her secondary weapon.

Unfortunately, Celine couldn't use her ability to transform imaginary numbers to conjure a pistol. After all, she knew very little about pistols, and even after searching online for information, she still couldn't conjure a suitable one.

This troubled Celine greatly until she met Rigota, the chief researcher at Biscotti's research institute.

In exchange for Sirin's phone being taken to Rigota for "research (disassembly)," Rigota granted Sirin's request.

......................

In the artillery training ground, Sirin took the weapon that Rigota had made for her and modified it with her Honkai energy. Instantly, countless electronic circuit-like things appeared on the flintlock-like weapon in her hand.

Then, the weapon in Sirin's hand completely changed to a different shape than before (the specific shape is similar to the Key of Emptiness). Rigota, who was standing next to her, was also very surprised to see that the weapon in Sirin's hand had completely changed.

When Sirin saw that the weapon in her hand had completely transformed into her own form from the void, she slightly curled the corners of her mouth. Then, Sirin pointed the weapon in her hand at the target in the distance in front of her and pulled the trigger.

As another surge of energy emanated from the weapon in Sirin's hand, the distant target instantly shattered into several fragments that flew away. Seeing the weapon's effect, Sirin nodded in satisfaction and said:

"Hmm, not bad, I'll call you [Key to Emptiness]."

Chapter 341 [A Gift from Heaven]

When Sirin returned to the Merlin Cat Restaurant, she saw Yuhaka and Jilin looking like they were about to leave. Sirin looked at Yuhaka and Jilin with a puzzled expression and asked:

"Hmm? Teacher Youyou, Senior Sister Ji Lin, where are you headed?"

Hearing what Xilin said, Ji Lin also said to Xilin:

"Hmm? Us? We're planning to hunt that creature that teleported through the void last time."

Upon hearing this, Sirin immediately understood that Yuhaka and Jilin were planning to return to their own world, so Sirin asked Yuhaka and the others to take her with them.

Yuhaka and Jilin exchanged a glance and then agreed to Sirin's request, telling her to be careful. After all, the creatures that teleport from the void might be of a type they had never encountered before, and they might be very powerful and also of a type they had never seen before.

..................................

After returning to the world of Honkai Impact 3rd through the entrance of the Mew Cat Restaurant, Yuhaka and the others looked at the snow-covered ground where a blizzard was raging and said:

"Yeah, it's still snowing heavily..."

"Mmm OwO......."

The blizzard-like weather around her gave Sirin a sense of familiarity. Of course, she had a purpose in coming back with Yuhaka and the others.

Sirin returned this time for the dense Honkai energy in the Honkai reactor. Although she was with Yuhaka and the others almost every day, the amount of Honkai energy she obtained varied daily, sometimes less, sometimes slightly more, but never nearly enough for Sirin to use her Imaginary Element ability...

Moreover, the Honkai energy in the Honkai energy crystal that the god gave her has been used up, which makes Sirin a little anxious. Although her recent dreams are all strange and bizarre, Sirin doesn't seem to want to have any of them.

After all, this matter was too hurtful to her, uh, it was really shameless!

Another problem is that Celine is afraid of pain... yes, she's afraid of pain...

If she could, she would rather absorb the Honkai energy reactor or not use the imaginary number ability.

But it's a lie to not use the imaginary number capability; how could it not be used?

Since most of Sirin's current techniques and weapons require Honkai energy to use, she has no choice but to find a way to return to the lower Honkai energy reactor of her Babylon Laboratory in Siberia with Yuhaka and the others to absorb Honkai energy. After absorbing that Honkai energy, she should be able to become the Herrscher that the gods spoke of...

Ji Lin looked at Youhaka and said:

"If it's still snowing heavily here, let's go to that tall building we visited last time to take shelter from the wind and snow."

Upon hearing Ji Lin's words, Xi Lin, who was standing to the side, looked pleasantly surprised. Xi Lin hadn't expected Ji Lin to suddenly provide such a big assist. Yuhaka also nodded in agreement with Ji Lin's words, since hunting in such weather was very inconvenient.

After sensing the Earth's magnetic field, Yuhaka led Jilin and Xilin to the Babylon Laboratory. Soon, Yuhaka and the others saw the familiar tower again...

...................................

After Yuhaka and her group entered the tower, the temperature inside made Ji Lin frown slightly, but Ji Lin didn't react much and didn't pay attention to why the temperature inside the Babylon Laboratory was lower. After Yuhaka and her group went inside, they arrived at the dining hall of the Babylon Tower.

Although there weren't many usable kitchen utensils in the cafeteria, Yuhaka and the others weren't going there to cook or anything, but rather...

Yuhaka, Jilin, and Sirin were sitting at a table playing Monster Hunter on a handheld console. When Sirin first encountered the game, she was quite surprised; she never imagined she could experience her daily hunting adventures within a game...

To be honest, this made Sirin feel a little strange, even though Monster Hunter is a pretty fun game!

While playing Monster Hunter, Sirin learned a lot about the monsters and their moves, which made her quite happy.

Half an hour later, Xilin felt the urge to urinate, so she told Yuhaka and Jilin and left to go to the toilet.

After Sirin finished urinating, she suddenly remembered that she was supposed to go to the Honkai energy reactor at the Babylon Laboratory to absorb Honkai energy. Wasn't this the perfect opportunity?!

As she spoke, Sirin used the power of the Imaginary Gate to arrive at the location of the Honkai Energy Reactor.

"Huh? Huh??? Where's my Honkai energy?"

A bewildered Sirin stared at the "empty" Honkai energy reactor, seemingly unable to comprehend what was happening. "Where did all this Honkai energy go?"

What happened?!

.....................................

On a snowy plain somewhere in Siberia, "Sirin," with a large bump on her head, stared silently at the enormous Honkai energy crystal in her hand. Just as "Sirin" was wondering why she had come to this place, this thing fell from the sky and hit her on the head. If she hadn't been so hard-headed, "Sirin" wondered if she would have been bleeding from her head.

Although I don't know what happened, it just so happens that most of the Honkai energy in my body has mysteriously disappeared for some reason. This huge Honkai energy crystal can restore my Honkai energy, right?

However… “Cirin” subconsciously called out to Bella, but “Cirin” did not hear Bella’s response or feel Bella’s presence. This made “Cirin” very strange. If Bella were dead, she would be able to feel it very clearly, but now there was no reaction at all, as if Bella did not exist. This made “Cirin” a little confused and very worried.

Soon, "Sirin" suddenly realized that she had gained knowledge similar to that of a parallel world within the core of that "traitor," which made her wonder if she had been transported to a parallel world...

Where "Cirin" couldn't see, Lorraine looked at "Cirin" with a large bump on her head and said:

"The actors are all ready, all that's left is the opening ceremony..."

Chapter 342 [Opening Soon...]

Inside the Babylonian laboratory, Sirin stared blankly at the Honkai energy reactor where the Honkai energy had vanished. Although she didn't know what had happened, Sirin remembered that there was a large amount of Honkai energy here the last time she was here, but now…

"What's going on with this arrival...?"

After returning from the restroom, a puzzled Sirin went back to the cafeteria. Neither Yuhaka nor Jilin noticed that Sirin had gone to the Honkai energy reactor.

.................................

Two hours later, Yuhaka and her friends discovered that the blizzard outside the Babylon Laboratory was still raging, which troubled them because their handheld consoles were running out of battery.

"My game console is almost out of battery, and the blizzard outside still hasn't stopped?"

Hearing Xilin's words, Ji Lin nodded and said:

"Yes... It's been several hours, and the blizzard outside is still going on. Does a blizzard last this long in your hometown, Sirin?"

Upon hearing Ji Lin's question, Xi Lin also looked puzzled and scratched her long purple hair, saying:

"It's quite rare for it to rain for this long, but this time it's definitely bigger and more spectacular..."

Meanwhile, Yuhaka took out a tatami mat and a quilt from the dimensional cave and placed them on the ground as if he was going to sleep. After placing the quilt and tatami mat, Yuhaka crawled into the quilt and then popped his head out to look at Ji Lin and the others, patting his big tail as if inviting them to come and take a nap together.

After seeing Yuhaka's invitation, Ji Lin yawned and said to Xilin:

"Cirin, do you want to take a nap together or something?"

Hearing Ji Lin's words, Xi Lin thought about it for a moment. It was still snowing heavily outside, and with such poor visibility, Xi Lin felt that she wouldn't be able to find anything outside. Moreover, Xi Lin didn't know what the void transfer creatures that Yuhaka and the others were talking about looked like.

Finally, after getting into bed and preparing to sleep, Ji Lin hugged the warm body of Yuhaka and chuckled, saying:

"Ah~ it's definitely most comfortable to hug Master Youyou in a cold place~"

"OwO?"

Yuhaka, whose cheek was being rubbed against by Ji Lin, looked puzzled, as if she didn't understand what Ji Lin was saying. Xilin, who was standing next to her, also looked puzzled, as if she was wondering if what Ji Lin said was true.

Seeing Xilin's puzzled look, Ji Lin handed the Yuhaka he was holding to Xilin and said:

"If you don't believe me, Sirin can try hugging Master Youyou and you'll see!"

"Eh??"

Sirin was surprised to see Yuhaka being placed in her arms. Looking at Yuhaka who was looking up at her with an OwO emoji, Sirin was slightly puzzled. She then looked at Ji Lin and said:

"Um... is there no problem?"

Using your own teacher as a body pillow... isn't that a bit inappropriate?!

Regarding Xilin's question, Ji Lin waved his hand and said:

"Don't worry, Celine, Master Youyou won't bite!"

Upon hearing Ji Lin's words, Xi Lin said with a speechless expression:

"No, I meant it wasn't these..."

Although that's what Sirin said, she still shifted her attention to the cat ears on Yuhaka's head. To be honest, Sirin had absolutely no resistance to cats. The stray cats that came to freeload behind Yuhaka's Meru Cat Restaurant and the Meru Cats that Yuhaka's Meru Cats lived in all suffered at Sirin's hands... uh, I mean they were all petted by Sirin.

To be honest, this time Sirin was a little tempted by Yuhaka's body, uh, I mean Yuhaka's cat ears and big tail.

"Then... just for a little while, okay? Teacher Youyou?"

Hearing Sirin's words, Yuhaka nodded with an "OwO" expression, indicating that there was no problem. Then, Sirin hugged Yuhaka's petite body, feeling the warmth emanating from her, and said with a surprised expression:

"Ah, it really is! Teacher Youyou is so warm when I hug her!"

Ji Lin, who was standing to the side, clapped his hands and said:

"Right? Master Youyou's hugs are so comfortable!"

Although Yuhaka seemed very comfortable to hold, Xilin was more concerned about how Yuhaka's cat ears felt to the touch. So Xilin reached out her little hand to Yuhaka's cat ears. Yuhaka looked at Xilin with a puzzled expression, as if to say, "Why are you touching my ears?"

Seeing that Yuhaka was looking at her, Sirin paused for a moment, then gave Yuhaka an awkward smile and said:

"Um... um, can't Teacher Youyou touch my ears?"

Yuhaka tilted her head, then shook her cat ears and looked at Sirin, saying:

"It tickles, but I don't dislike it..."

Hearing Yuhaka's words, Sirin breathed a sigh of relief. After all, when she petted the cats before, Sirin would touch their ears, but the cats didn't like her touching their ears.

After Xilin touched Yuhaka for a while, Jilin, who was standing to the side, was also very curious about what Yuhaka's ears felt like. So she joined Xilin and Yuhaka to try out the feel of Yuhaka's cat ears. In the end, the two of them went too far and were each given a couple of bites by Yuhaka, after which Xilin and Jilin behaved themselves.

After a while, Xilin and Jilin fell asleep holding the warm and cozy Yuhaka.

...................................

Bronya, inside the imaginary space, looked at the sleeping Yuhaka and the others with a somewhat nostalgic expression. Just then, Lorraine walked in from the imaginary portal and said:

"Phew, Bronya, my [Sirin] is hiding in the imaginary space, slowly absorbing the Honkai energy from the Honkai energy reactor in the Babylon Laboratory and turning it into Honkai energy crystals."

Hearing Lorraine's words, Bronya turned around and said to Lorraine:
