Valkyrie Flavor Tasting Guide

The one in the lead was, of course, Susana, a member of the publicity department who, although she usually seemed a bit clumsy and impulsive, was still quite diligent in her work.

Upon seeing Lu Mo's arrival, she was the first to stand up from her seat with an excited expression and wave vigorously at him.

"Lord Lu Mo, no, Your Excellency Lu Mo, please give me your orders!"

Due to work commitments, Susana participates in harem interactions much less frequently.

But that doesn't mean she was useless.

In fact, while Susana may not excel in other areas, her talent for photography is so extraordinary that it's almost unbelievable.

After her processing, many images that only circulated within the harem were filmed and looked quite convincing.

And the table of harem members led by her.

They are all juniors who have grown up enough to become close to Lu Mo, many years after the main storyline ended.

Carol Pepper, Timidochute, and the void.

Xiao Kong might not have been able to sneak in originally.

The ravens had groomed her to be their successor.

Yes, a successor in every sense of the word.

I don't know if the outcome will be good or bad.

"Do you need me to give you orders? Not really..." Su Shana was the type of person Lu Mo didn't have a deep emotional connection with, but whose rating was quite high.

Because of Su Shana's idol bias, after learning of Lu Mo's existence, even "giving away for free" couldn't describe Su Shana's efficiency.

The people behind them were in a similar mindset.

They all fell for Lu Mo naturally after spending time with him, driven by their admiration for him.

"Commander-in-Chief, Commander-in-Chief, you'd better keep a close eye on my performance!"

"Timido, I'll do my best."

Please believe in my efforts.

After everyone had presented their wonderful performances, Lu Mo arrived at the "grand finale" of the wedding banquet.

Sitting there were three people who, from any angle, seemed completely out of place in the entire "Honkai" world—"extraterrestrial visitors" from a "parallel world".

"Feathered Rabbit", Mistelin.

She's a local, and the reason she's here is because these three were able to come to this world.

These three are the tsundere representatives found in the Sea of ​​Quanta, including Asuka.

Although she is more arrogant than charming, she is still much better than many in the industry who are only arrogant and lack charm.

There is also the legendary "Three-No Progenitor", Rei Ayanami.

And then there's Misato Katsuragi, this incredibly classic older sister character.

Just as Lu Mo was wondering curiously what they would do next...

A loud bell rang, interrupting Lu Mo's actions.

It's Kiana.

She walked back onto the stage and gave a flawless, sweet smile to the group of "sisters" below, who were already slumped over, as if they had prepared too much alcohol for the day.

"My dear sisters"

"—It's time for us to move on to the next segment."

Upon hearing this "verdict," all the stunning beauties present, who had been in a state of "chaos," lazily picked up the snacks on the table to replenish their energy.

He immediately stood up, looking at Kiana with renewed energy.

In the hands of Mei, the nominal "bride," was a bridal bouquet, composed of the most vibrant red roses and the purest white lilies, full of "ceremony."

Even if the wedding is abnormal, this part cannot be omitted.

After all, this bouquet has a special meaning today—it's as important in the harem as the Holy Grail in a regular Holy Grail War—because it's not so desirable in Chaldea.

I closed my eyes and silently counted to three.

"--three."

"--two."

"--one."

"--start!"

As she finished speaking, the bouquet, which originally represented and symbolized "the next happiness"—now serving as a symbol of who would choose the next themed event—traced a beautiful, fateful parabola in the air.

—Slowly, it fell into that "sea of ​​people," which had long since transformed into the most brutal battlefield of carnage, filled with murderous intent.

A brutal and inhumane bouquet-grabbing battle, rife with "fake sisterhood," officially began at this moment. Several people even leaped into the air, some even pinning those around them over their heads.

Everyone has a theme or activity they want to achieve.

The bouquet traced a magnificent parabola in the air, like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, instantly creating towering waves.

In an instant, the entire banquet hall transformed into a brutal battlefield.

As for who will ultimately emerge victorious in this blood-and-fire "Holy Grail War," we'll leave that aside for now.

……

When this fierce "war," in which everyone temporarily set aside their personal feelings, finally came to an unexpected end, it was a truly brutal battle.

This grand yet absurd wedding ceremony has finally reached its final and most anticipated moment—

—The wedding night.

Lu Mo led Kiana and Mei, both beaming with happiness, into their bridal chamber for the night.

But this doesn't mean the end for others outside.

After all, they had specifically promised not to participate in the "bridal chamber pranks," otherwise the two people inside would have a lot of trouble.

As Velvi pressed the mechanism, a huge light screen silently condensed and took shape above their heads.

The emcee, Ai Hyperion, stepped onto the stage once more. A wicked, malicious smile played on her lips.

"My dear sisters," her voice echoed through the banquet hall through the loudspeaker, "although the wedding night belongs to our bride and groom..."

"but!"

Her voice, deliberately drawn out here, was filled with a bewitching magic.

"Our master is very generous, you know."

"Vilvie and I have secured the exclusive live stream rights for Master and Kiana Mei tonight. Do you want to see what sweet nothings they'll say tonight?"

"Yes!" Alicia shouted, taking the lead.

Of course, she wasn't the only one looking forward to it—

How could anyone not be interested in something this good!

"So, now—"

Let us witness this together—

"This is full of miracles and hope—"

"Beautiful night."

Chapter 1 Living with Kiana

"yawn"

Night descended hastily from the west, swallowing the last rays of the setting sun. Suddenly, ink spread from the other side of the earth, like an overturned inkstone spreading on rice paper, and a few unburnt crimson embers rustled off the treetops.

Lu Mo sat at his desk, looking at the materials he had finally rushed to finish before nine o'clock, and a look of helplessness appeared on his face.

"No... this still needs to be modified to avoid being criticized again."

This wasn't originally his job, but because he had the best copywriting skills in the group, the team leader naturally assigned him to be responsible for the materials to be submitted to the higher-ups.

"They still won't pay me more."

Lu Mo sighed. After confirming that the report wouldn't require major revisions by tomorrow, he finally shut down his computer with peace of mind—as it was impossible not to revise it at all.

Only then did Kiana appear behind him unhurriedly, her hands gently and skillfully pressing on his furrowed brows, her voice gentle yet sweet, instantly soothing Lu Mo's troubled mind, which had been agitated by the day's work.

Without needing to make any extra movements, Lu Mo naturally tilted his head back to receive the awkward massage techniques from her fingers, which were usually used to pulling the trigger.

With her around, I can calm my restless mind naturally within a few breaths, no matter when.

"Would you like to rest for a while? Hot water is ready."

A month has passed since she moved into his house, and during this month, she has gradually gotten used to this idle life.

Although it sounds absurd, this kind of life has become very, very far away for her.

Although she no longer needed to participate in battles after the final battle more than five years ago, it didn't mean she could finally enjoy her long-lost daily life—after all, living on the moon was anything but ordinary in itself.

"Thank you!" Lu Mo took the towel, which was still warm, and covered his slightly dry skin with it, feeling the warmth of the hot water gradually relax his skin.

Although expressing gratitude in words was unnecessary between the two, they both enjoyed the feeling.

After those two brief words came a silence that made everything noisy.

In the silence, one could almost hear the electronic sounds of a computer's internal database operating, or perhaps it was repeatedly confirming whether the current temperature was accurate.

In the instant the moonlight streamed through the window and was cut by the wind and leaves, Kiana finally spoke.

"Maybe I should start looking for a suitable job from tomorrow." It's not sustainable to keep relying on the other person like this all the time.

After Kiana traveled back in time to the real world, she has been living a life of leisure.

This made her feel somewhat embarrassed.

"It's not time yet. Let's talk about it when you've completely gotten used to life here."

Seeing Kiana's unusually embarrassed expression after a month of eating for free, Lu Mo simply continued to wear a friendly smile.

Although we've known each other for a long time, or rather, it would be more accurate to say we've known each other in spirit for a long time, we only officially met in person a month ago.

He wanted to enjoy this feeling more, the feeling of being able to communicate his emotions with the other person without reservation, without having to be separated by a screen.

"Okay... but now, I'm really just a freeloader at home."

Kiana's smile also carried a hint of helplessness as she carefully wrung out the towel that Lu Mo had handed back to her.

Reading books, looking at mobile phones, and learning about things about oneself that one didn't know before through video websites.

It also helps with grinding in the game and completing daily tasks.

When the other person is free, the two of them squeeze their heads together to play through the game's storyline.

Because her cooking skills weren't as good as Lu Mo's, she had to wait for Lu Mo to come home from get off work every day to cook dinner.

He felt somewhat annoyed that he was capable of everything but could do very little to help him.

Would you like me to heat up a glass of milk for you?

She couldn't get involved in Lu Mo's work either; the saying "a trade is like a mountain" was perfectly illustrated at this time.

In order to allow Lu Mo to fully concentrate on his work, she didn't enter his room until she was sure that Lu Mo's unnecessary overtime work was completely over.

"Forget it... I'm afraid I'll sleep too soundly and won't be able to get up tomorrow."

While bedtime milk can help you sleep well, it can also sometimes make you sleep so soundly that you don't hear your alarm clock in the morning. And the person next to me has clearly been unable to get up on time lately.

"Okay... then, how about an encouraging hug?"

Kiana's voice, when learning lines that weren't her own, revealed a unique kind of charm.

The originally mature and flirtatious words became soft and mellow in her voice, intertwining with the moonlight coming in through the French windows and gauze curtains, making the already quiet night even more tranquil.

A silent embrace carries the warmth of mutual exchange.

Her embrace, though always burning with passion, still carried a touch of the refreshing coolness of the northern landscape, much like the soothing feeling that night air brings to the brain.

Lu Mo subconsciously looked at the moonlight.

The moon shines through the west window, people stand under the eaves, and the moonlight in the courtyard is as white as snow.

His breathing sounded like the soft rustling of snowflakes.
