After I V-brother Zheng 50

Although it was just a minor scratch, I was still proud of it.

After all, the person she injured was a prodigy who could learn any move after seeing it only once.

all in all……

"You do have a history of recklessness."

Kaguya looked directly at [Ren], who was a whole head shorter than her, and said seriously, "Sigh, what can I do? Our idiot leader already told you... I allow you to explore the dungeon."

"This afternoon, I'll take you to familiarize yourself with the environment."

"And before that..."

Her face suddenly flashed that villainous young lady expression again, "Listen to me carefully, I don't have the patience of that 'Nine Demon Princess' from the Loki Familia. If you don't follow the team's instructions during the dungeon exploration..."

"Alright, alright, you don't need to play the bad cop anymore, Kaguya."

Leila approached from the side, turning her head to look at [Lotus], "It's useless anyway."

"..."

Seeing that the latter still had a blank expression, Kaguya knew.

Lyra...she's right.

Chapter Fifty-Two: It's as if I saw myself...

Since [Ren] was currently just a penniless rookie adventurer without a suitable weapon, Kaguya casually tossed her an old katana after the 'test' ended.

According to the person involved, it is:

"No matter how good your swordsmanship is, you won't be able to kill those tough monsters in the dungeon if you're using a wooden sword that crumbles to dust after one use."

"This weapon is no longer up to my level. It will just sit in the corner collecting dust and taking up a lot of space. I might as well give it to you as a temporary replacement."

Yes, that's a classic example of someone who's a bit arrogant and smug.

So much so that when Kaguya said those words, everyone around her covered their mouths and chuckled, their shoulders shaking.

And the beneficiaries themselves...

"Thank you!"

The Jin people and terracotta warriors, who were like martyrs, were straightforward in their thinking and never spoke in roundabout ways.

She didn't tell Kaguya that if someone from the ancient martial arts world of China had mastered it, they could kill without fear of wooden swords, or even by plucking flowers or flying leaves.

Moreover, in the future, the main weapon of a certain useless elf in their own righteous faction... Ryu will be a wooden sword made from the branches of the sacred tree in his hometown.

Is this... a slap in the face?

In short, let's not talk about the future for now, but right now, a classic case of a straightforward approach defeating a haughty person has occurred.

For a time...

"Tsk, why bother with all this nonsense?"

Kaguya, feigning a fierce glare at the others, waved her hand somewhat awkwardly, "If you really want to thank me, at least behave yourself from now on, and don't make me go through so much trouble..."

"That cannot be guaranteed."

The thirteen-year-old girl spoke her mind.

"..."

Kaguya slightly raised her eyelids.

Fortunately...

"Alright, going to the dungeon is not child's play. Although we won't go too deep today, it will still take time to go back and forth."

Leila pointed to the sky, "If we delay any longer, we might not be able to make it back for dinner tonight."

Hearing her say that...

"Then let's set off."

Kaguya casually leaned her beloved sword 'Higanbana' on her shoulder and looked at the others present, "Soon, Alicia and the others should be back from their patrol."

"Nize, Asta, Iska, you'll be changing shifts later. Remember to explain our situation to that idiot captain properly."

"Row!"

"no problem."

"I will handle it."

The three girls, one from the werewolf tribe, one from the dwarf tribe, and one from the Amazon tribe, all responded.

Kaguya then looked at the others...

"Laila, come with me and take Lian to familiarize herself with the dungeon."

"Noin, go to the orphanage in the slums and inform Lady Astrea of ​​our itinerary."

"If you really can't make it for dinner, don't wait for us. We'll take care of ourselves outside... at the [Abundant Mistress] Tavern."

Leila: "Understood."

Noin: "Understood!"

As the vice-leader of the righteous faction, Kaguya quickly arranged everything.

Immediately after all the members responded...

"Then let's do it now..."

We're back!

A cheerful and energetic voice interrupted Kaguya's subsequent words.

As she said before...

The leader, Alexie Rofer, has finished her patrol of the city with two members and returned to headquarters.

******

Honkai Impact 3rd, within the island of Tasmania.

"As a result, when she just came back, she was complaining that 'patrol is so tiring, I really want to take a bath and have a nice sleep,' but in the blink of an eye, she was full of energy and went into the dungeon with Kaguya and the others again?"

"This particularly annoying and overly self-centered behavior is exactly like someone else's."

"Huh? Who is it?"

"What do you say?"

……

The conversation between the pink fairy and the green snake spirit reached my ears.

Qin Yu smiled but remained silent.

Indeed, just as the two said, nowadays in the DanMachi world, the people who are going to go to the dungeon with [Ren] to familiarize themselves with the environment have changed from Kaguya and Lyra to a group of five led by the captain, Alisha, who are shouting 'GO~GO~'.

Among the three new additions, besides the energetic Alexie, there are also two elven girls who were forcibly dragged over by the former.

Liu Liang.

Celty Sloa.

Of the two, the blonde-haired, blue-eyed Ryu is fourteen years old. Although she is only one year older than the [Lotus] in Qin Yu's setting, her own grace level is the same as that of Alyssa and Kaguya, reaching Lv.3, and she is quite famous outside.

Celty, on the other hand, has a tomboyish, bespectacled, and frail appearance.

She is the same age as [Lotus], thirteen years old, and is another Lv.2 member of the faction besides Laila, who is of dwarf race origin.

Compared to Lyra, who makes good use of various explosive tools in battle, Celty awakened acquired lightning magic.

Her talent, within the elite-like Astrea Familia, might not be considered particularly outstanding, but if she went to another faction, she would definitely be a core member who would be given special attention and training.

at the moment……

"This exotic scenery is truly captivating."

Eden sat to the side, watching the crossover live stream while holding an electronic drawing tablet, sketching and writing like a quiet, literary young girl.

These days, she claims to have experienced a 'renewal of inspiration,' and she often does this: jotting down whatever comes to mind anytime, anywhere.

Then, when the night is quiet, I think about how to combine these scattered ideas into a new work.

Of course, a work that satisfies Eden himself cannot be quickly completed in a short period of time.

We still have to wait.

As for the exotic scenery Eden mentioned, it naturally comes from the street scenes of the labyrinth city of Orario displayed on the big screen.

Especially that towering Tower of Babel...

Judging by its height, it is much taller than the giant stone monuments in Black Bomb World that are over 1600 meters tall.

Below the tower, on the street, people come and go.

Humans, dwarves, orcs, elves, Palum, Amazons... they are everywhere.

Some of them were carrying weapons and protective gear, making them clearly adventurers.

Others open shops on the street, selling trinkets that can't be found anywhere else on Earth, or set up stalls to make unique foods.

This should have been a vibrant, bustling city scene.

however……

"The people here have somewhat gloomy expressions on their faces."

Eden, who has witnessed countless people lose their smiles due to the "collapse" over the past few years, sighed helplessly.

Recently, everyone present has learned that although the fantastical world they are currently observing is full of all sorts of fantasy elements, the overall environment there is actually not so wonderful.

Because there is also a 'world-destroying source' over there.

Its name is: The One-Eyed Black Dragon.
