A person in Honkai Impact, just became a Decade Knight

"Miss Himeko, there's no need to be so embarrassed. I'm already aware of your generosity."

Hearing Yae Sakura's words, Himeko felt even more embarrassed.

It's one thing to not care about one's image normally, but now someone is seriously telling me, "Oh, don't worry about it, I already knew you were this kind of awful person anyway"...

Damn, this is even more embarrassing!

"Miss Himeko, actually, I have a favor to ask of you."

"If possible, I would like to ask you to organize an event in your own name that allows everyone to relax and unwind."

"Oh, I see."

Seemingly because Yae Sakura brought up serious matters, Himeko also put aside other irrelevant thoughts and turned her head to agree readily.

"Great, I've been thinking about that too."

Once this was mentioned, Himeko started complaining to Yae Sakura as if she had opened a floodgate.

"Seriously, apart from Sakura, who's doing a little better, the other girls are all acting strangely."

"Bronya is preoccupied, Yuno thinks about training her body and combat skills all day long, Mei says she'll work hard, but it's obvious she's not really focused all day, and as for Kiana..."

"This silly girl has been pretending to be nonchalant, but I know she's been working harder than anyone else to negotiate with Theresa. It's just a pity that she's been too hard on herself, which isn't a good thing."

"And most importantly..."

After glancing at Gu Yu's room, Himeko sighed softly.

"I wonder if it's because Gu Yu lost both his parents, but he's always kept his distance from others. This won't do, this really won't do."

"Even if you hadn't said anything, I would have tried to organize a party. But since you brought it up..."

Seeing the mischievous smile gradually appear on Himeko's face, Yae Sakura smiled and nodded.

"I understand, Miss Himeko."

"I will do my utmost to assist you in completing this 'plan'."

----------

PS1: I'm really sorry tonight. I should have finished updating much earlier, but this incident has made me feel terrible and my condition is extremely poor...

This chapter feels a bit strange; I hope it wasn't poisoned...

PS2: I have to refute some of the comments from the readers. There are many things that can't be included in this book, even if they are just mentioned in the comments. I hope you can understand.

PS3: Go to sleep early... I... damn it, it's already 1:30.

This is truly a time of despair.

Chapter 77. Can I trust you?

After discussing the details of the plan with Yae Sakura, Himeko lay down on her bed, completely satisfied, and began to sleep soundly.

The next day, with all the members in the dormitory present, Himeko announced something in front of everyone.

"To be precise, we haven't held a single welcome ceremony for everyone since they enrolled."

Looking at the group of students with strange expressions in front of her, Himeko coughed twice and then spoke.

"Two days later is everyone's day off, so Theresa and I decided to have a welcome party on that day."

"This……"

After hearing Himeko finish speaking, Yuno was the first to ask a question.

"Teacher, can I ask for leave?"

"If possible, I'd like to continue my training at the academy. I want to become an A-rank Valkyrie as soon as possible."

The culprit behind the Third Honkai Impact is still under investigation by the Destiny Database. If I can become an A-rank Valkyrie, I might be able to access related missions.

Right now, I simply don't have time to waste...

"Yuno, I don't know what you're thinking. But you have to come this time."

Seeing the impatience on Yuno's face, Himeko said helplessly.

"Having ambition is a good thing, but if you stretch a string too tight, it will break sooner or later. To achieve your goals, a necessary relaxation is indispensable."

"……I see."

After receiving Yuno's satisfactory answer, Himeko glanced at the others and asked again.

"Does anyone else have any questions? If not, then it's settled."

"Yes!"

After Himeko announced the party time, Theresa silently watched everyone walk into the living room, then quietly walked to Himeko's side and nudged her waist.

"Hey, when did you discuss this with me? I've been really busy lately with a ton of things going on at headquarters."

"Come on, no matter how busy you are, you still hide in the office reading Houmu comics."

In response to Theresa's question, Himeko immediately put on a smug look, as if to say, "No one understands you better than me, Theresa."

"You have to come that day too, is that alright?"

"No problem, no problem, but there are big problems at headquarters."

Recalling the rumors she had recently received, Theresa felt a little gloomy.

Chief Scientist Dr. Machi had a dispute with Bishop Otto yesterday.

Dr. Maki believes that the numerous failed experiments to fuse the Herrscher cores are enough to prove that the possibility of creating an artificial Herrscher is extremely low and should be terminated immediately.

Bishop Otto, however, believed that the existence of Raiden Mei's successful case proved that their research had not gone astray.

Ultimately, this dispute led to the cancellation of the fusion experiment between Lynn Maki and the [Tranquil Gem] that day.

Bishop Otto left with a displeased expression, and finally ordered Dr. Machi to resume the fusion experiment a week later.

Although there was nothing seriously wrong with the information overall, as Otto's granddaughter, Theresa knew very well her grandfather's bad temper.

Her grandfather, Otto, could treat those he respected with great courtesy in ordinary times, but this had to be based on one premise.

These people he respected did not become obstacles for him.

If it were the usual Otto, he would never have allowed the experiment to be interrupted. He would have used strong pressure to force Dr. Mackey to continue the experiment with his granddaughter.

But this time, her grandfather simply turned and left without taking any more drastic measures.

Something just doesn't look right.

Theresa wanted to analyze the current situation further based on the intelligence, but given her intelligence network, obtaining this information was already extremely difficult.

The Destiny Headquarters is still the headquarters. Even if she is the granddaughter of the headquarters bishop, in official terms she is still just the head of a branch. How could she possibly extend her reach to the main headquarters?

"Well, let's take it one step at a time. After all, these kids do need to relax."

After saying this, Theresa opened the lobby door and decided to go to her office to continue working overtime.

Just then, she saw what was happening in the living room and suddenly stopped what she was doing.

……

After the meeting, everyone returned to the living room to discuss what to buy for the party the next day.

After all, Himeko only put forward an idea, without specifying what kind of party she wanted to hold.

However, just as everyone was about to start discussing, Gu Yu said, "You can discuss the details yourselves, and tell me later. I will cooperate with you," and then sat down and went back to his room.

The girls could tell that Gu Yu wasn't in a good mood, so even though they wanted her to stay, they didn't say anything in the end.

Except for Bronya.

She watched Gu Yu's figure, then immediately went to the sofa and picked up the things she had bought earlier that day.

"Brother Gu Yu, wait!"

"Is there a problem?"

Seeing Gu Yu stop and turn around, Bronya immediately came to Gu Yu and handed her the gift.

"Brother Gu Yu, is your phone broken? Bronya bought you a new one when she went out today."

"Oh, thank you so much."

After opening the box, Gu Yu glanced at the brand of the phone.

Yes, Nokia is my preferred model.

??? !!! !!!

Upon witnessing this scene, everyone present except the two individuals involved was stunned.

Bronya has always maintained a cold expression when facing everyone.

Although after spending a few days with the girl, Mei and Kiana realized that the girl was just not good at expressing her feelings, and was not a cold person.

But if they remember correctly...

—Wasn't Bronya on bad terms with Gu Yu just a few days ago?

Why have the two people gotten so close that they can exchange gifts?

Furthermore, when exactly did Bronya start calling Gu Yu a different name, changing from the slightly malicious "perverted older brother" to the more affectionate "Brother Gu Yu"?

Did they miss reading hundreds of thousands of words of the plot? They always felt that Bronya had fast-forwarded the plot to a terrifying degree!

"Mei-neechan, Kiana, please stop staring at me like that."

Seemingly noticing the gazes of her companions, Bronya spoke very calmly.

"Brother Gu Yu brought me back from that terrible place, Changkong City, and saved Bronya again yesterday. This is just a gift to repay Brother Gu Yu for saving my life."

"Mei-neechan and Kiana, please don't misunderstand."

"Hahaha...yes...that's normal after all..."
