Honkai Impact 3rd, Paradise Typewriter isn't for making this kind of game.

[Level A Investigation Request]

According to the person who reported the incident, they witnessed a fleeting, extremely fast-moving, deep blue figure at a street intersection...

[Request: Investigate the true identity of that figure. According to system detection, the afterimage that disappeared at the crossroads seems to possess a faint but unique Honkai energy reaction. Please upload the record to Schicksal Headquarters as soon as possible after ascertaining the situation.]

"Wow, I didn't expect that I would receive an A-rank request so soon after becoming an A-rank Valkyrie."

Susana jumped up and down on the bed with joy.

The girl seemed to have forgotten about the white-haired vampire girl in the comic book. Excitedly, she tossed the teddy bear in her arms into the air, then quickly took off her bear pajamas and put on the uniform she had been longing for as a member of the "Immortal Squad".

"Susana, attack!"

This is her first time undertaking an A-rank mission, and she will definitely not let her seniors Durandal and Rita down. Having finally survived the special training, she is now a Valkyrie who can stand on her own.

Silently cheering herself on, Susana rubbed her hands together and gently touched the virtual terminal in front of her, accepting the A-level commission with excitement.

"Hmm, let me check the coordinates first... The location that the commissioned investigation needs to investigate doesn't seem too far from me, only about two or three kilometers away. Speaking of which, there are a few houses there that I don't live in much. I should have just moved there before, maybe I could have run into that afterimage at the crossroads."

Susana muttered to herself, completely oblivious to the fact that she was a wealthy young woman.

"Yes, let's set off immediately! This is my first time undertaking an A-level mission, I must complete it perfectly!"

The girl's eyes revealed determination. She patted her cheeks and quickly ran towards the intersection two or three kilometers away.

Thanks to the training of her senior, Durandal, her physical strength has long surpassed that of her former self. A few kilometers is just a warm-up for her now.

Chapter 393 I didn't mean to interrupt your date!

At the crossroads, Susana held a notebook in her hand and questioned several witnesses who were still nearby.

Rather, the sudden disappearance of that azure figure caused the crowd at the crossroads to grow larger and larger, with various rumors circulating. Some said it was the appearance of Honkai Beasts, others said it was a human infected with Honkai energy, and still others even said it was a ghost.

However, based on information provided by eyewitnesses...

As that azure figure flashed by, several strange phenomena occurred.

1. At the intersection, someone heard a strange humming sound. The humming sound occurred more than once, and judging from the sound, it was roughly the voice of an adult woman. (Witnesses unanimously agreed that the sound came from a woman.)

2. A scratch mark, resembling a vehicle tire, was found on the road near the intersection. (It smelled somewhat burnt...)

Third, while waiting at a traffic light, a suspicious motorcyclist appeared, with a curly-haired man in a hospital gown riding on the back of him. However, after the light turned green, the two of them suddenly and mysteriously disappeared.

(The rider was wearing a helmet, so his face was not clearly visible, and the man behind him was too close to the motorcyclist to be accurately identified.)

Susana's little hand, which was taking notes, suddenly stopped.

She suddenly recalled what she had read in that comic book, a long-standing urban legend about a vampire girl hiding on the fringes of society.

Legend has it that every full moon, the buzzing of chainsaws echoes from the quiet, secluded alleys deep within the city. It's the sound of a white-haired, red-eyed vampire girl hunting humans; she needs to feed to regain her strength...

The children's playground is her paradise, the moonlight is her veil, and adult men are her sustenance.

"Hmm, does that mean the man in the hospital gown is about to become their food? No, I have to stop this from happening!"

With the help of the special search device that Destiny paired with the Valkyrie, Susana followed the charred marks shown in the display and tracked them all the way to the green belt not far from the intersection.

"Strange... the tire tracks disappear here, as if they vanished into thin air."

"Based on the eyewitness's description, the azure afterimage was most likely created by the other party while driving at high speed. Let's search the area; we might find something new."

Susana pushed aside the bushes on one side of the green belt, took out her ring blade, and carefully moved forward.

wow-

Suddenly, she vaguely heard a very suspicious sound coming from the bushes ahead. Susana crouched down slightly and slowly approached the source of the sound.

"Duck, can you be a little gentler? Don't be so rough... If you keep going like this, my body won't be able to take it."

"You stupid subordinate, you're already exhausted after just a few moves. I've told you to exercise regularly so you won't collapse so easily in a critical moment."

Hearing the conversation between the two, Susana instinctively stopped her small hand that was about to part the bushes.

The girl's face instantly turned burning hot.

Gossip and romance are the most popular topics among girls of this age, and Susana is no exception. Wasn't she here to investigate the case and find out if the vampire girl really existed?

Doing that kind of thing in a bush...

Hmm... how did I end up here by accident? There must be a couple deeply in love showing off their affection inside. In this situation, I'd better leave as soon as possible before I mess things up.

Whoops-

In order not to disturb the two people in the bushes, Susana wanted to leave quietly, but the branch she accidentally touched caught the attention of Xia Yuan and Bronya.

"Who's there?!"

Noticing the sudden noise from the bushes, Bronya pulled out her Heavy Bunny 0019 and pointed it in that direction, then protected Xia Yuan, who was already tied up, behind her. She had sensed an unusual aura near the bushes, but she couldn't pinpoint its source.

Realizing she had been discovered, the flustered girl quickly stood up from the bushes. When she saw that the other person was holding a weapon and pointing it at her, Susana quickly threw away the ring blade in her hand and raised her hands high.

"Yes, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to disturb your date here!"

"I, my name is Susana... I am a newly promoted A-rank Valkyrie from Schicksal, and a member of the Undying Blade squad. I came here to investigate the Crossroads's request. I am truly sorry for the trouble and inconvenience caused to you two. I will leave here immediately!"

However, when Susana calmed down and saw the person in front of her clearly, she was stunned and stood there, "You, you are Senior Bronya?!"

When the girl hiding furtively in the bushes revealed her identity, Bronya put down her weapon. But before she could even speak, Susana had already run to Bronya's side and handed her the notebook.

"Bronya-senpai, could I get your autograph? I really love that Alahato game you released!"

Looking into Susana's sparkling eyes, Bronya naturally couldn't refuse the lively and lovely girl in front of her.

"Of course, Bronya will fulfill every fan's request, but I'm not dating that idiot subordinate. He was just injured and I was bandaging his wound."

After saying that, Bronya signed her name in the notebook the girl was carrying.

He also cast a proud glance at Xia Yuan, as if to say... Look, this is a true game producer. He'll be welcomed wherever he goes. You stupid subordinate, you still have a lot to learn.

"Even though Alahato's sales are plummeting, why are you looking at me with such a smug look? No matter how much you stare at me, I won't praise you. You'd be better off getting a raise."

stare--

Bronya naturally overheard Xia Yuan's ramblings, and she was determined to teach her foolish subordinate a lesson that night.

at the same time--

Susana happily accepted the note with Bronya's signature. It was truly fate to meet Bronya here. But besides Bronya's signature, there was another signature on the note.

Chapter 394 Human, may I take a bite?

"Xia Yuan? He looks so familiar..."

Susana's name seems to have appeared in the credits after the end of the game "Arahato". Could it be that she is also a member of the Principle Studio, just like Bronya?

With these questions in mind, the lovely girl asked:

"Senior Bronya, is the person listed as 'Senior Xia Yuan' even more experienced than you?"

"Hmm~ Of course, she's more experienced than Bronya. Her game development skills are at a level that could make you lose all your hair. Bronya can't compare at all, right... my dear silly subordinate?"

Perhaps it was in response to the girl in front of him, or perhaps it was to tease his foolish subordinate.

Bronya looked at Xia Yuan, who was sitting on the bushes next to her, with a meaningful gaze. She covered her mouth and chuckled unconsciously, as if she could already imagine her silly subordinate wearing a hat to hide his receding hairline.

"Duck, don't talk bad about me in front of outsiders. Besides, I'm not at the point where I've lost all my hair!"

Xia Yuan, clutching his already bandaged arm, took the initiative to approach the girl. He wasn't going to argue with his superior, so he raised his uninjured arm to greet the adorable, bear-like girl he had just met.

"Hello, Susana, I'm Xia Yuan, or Bronya's game assistant for now. It's nice to meet you."

"Hmm... It's a pleasure to meet you too, Senior Xia Yuan, who is about to become a veteran game producer~"

However, Xia Yuan always felt that the girl in front of him kept looking at the area around his curly hair, and even the tone of her greeting had a slightly mischievous meaning.

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to observe your hairline, Senior Xia Yuan. Could you please forgive me this time? Please~"

Susana confessed without being asked.

But at this moment, the girl was like a spoiled little teddy bear, constantly shaking Xia Yuan's arm, trying to get away with it.

"Okay, okay, stop shaking me... If you keep shaking me, your arm will really break. I've already forgiven you. By the way, Susana, why do you also call me 'senpai'?"

"Hehe~ She's more senior than me, older than me, and a very reliable partner of Bronya, so of course I should call her senior."

Being praised like this for the first time made Xia Yuan feel a little embarrassed, and also accompanied by a strong sense of guilt.

Stare—(from Bronya's gaze)

He could clearly feel Bronya's gaze fixed on him.

"Oh, right... Senior Xia Yuan, could you please give me your contact information? I'll send you a whole set of all the shampoos, conditioners, and other hair products I use regularly. After you've used them... please let me know if you like the scent, and I'll send you a whole case. I guarantee you'll say goodbye to hair loss problems from now on."

"Cough cough..."

Seeing the girl in front of her pressing for her stupid subordinate's contact information, Bronya, who had been forgotten to the side, couldn't help but cough a few times.

"Oh dear, how could I forget Bronya-senpai? There should be a share for both of them!"

Susana patted her little head with her hand.

"Alright, Susana, thank you for your kindness. Let's talk about the task you're in charge of investigating. If it happens to be something I know, my stupid subordinate and I will do our best to help you."

"Bronya-senpai, would you be willing to help?! That would be wonderful! The investigation I received is..."

Susana briefly explained her investigation request to Xia Yuan and Bronya.

"Crossroads, rumors of a vampire girl, a vanished azure figure, charred tire tracks, a peculiar Honkai energy reaction, a strange and brief groan..."

Bronya suddenly realized something. Putting aside the vampire girl... wasn't the case that Susana was investigating about her and her idiot subordinate? Sure enough, the sound at the crossroads was noticed by passersby.

But how could such an unspeakable matter be explained to Susana, who came to investigate?

Damn it... It's all the fault of that stupid subordinate!

Thinking of this, Bronya's cheeks began to flush.

“Susana, I know what happened at the previous crossroads.” Although he wasn’t very clear about the rumors about the vampire girl, the strange murmurs, the special Honkai energy reaction, and the disappearing azure figure clearly referred to him and Bronya.

"Hey, Senior Xia Yuan... do you know what exactly happened at the crossroads?!"

Susana was like a little bear full of curiosity, looking at the man in front of her who seemed incredibly reliable at this moment with eager and expectant eyes.

vigilance--!!!

Was her foolish subordinate going to tell Susana what happened at the crossroads? Bronya would never allow that!

"Of course, um..."

Just as Xia Yuan was about to bring out the Herrscher of Corruption who had been in a car accident with Bronya and had fallen into the bushes in the nearby green belt, as well as the Herrscher of Corruption clinging to the typewriter, Bronya preemptively answered, "It was the vampire girl who did it!"

Bronya blamed all the troubles she encountered on a vampire girl whose existence was unknown.

Curled up in loose clothing... The white-haired girl, slowly awakening upon contact with Xia Yuan's blood, pouted slightly upon hearing the conversation outside the bushes, revealing a hint of unhappiness. She hadn't done anything yet.

"I'm so hungry..."

Just then, the white-haired girl seemed to smell a very fragrant scent. She noticed a blush still lingering on the edge of the grass, and she stuck out her cute little tongue to lick the edge of the grass as much as possible.

"Not enough... I want more."

The girl, still wanting more, parted the bushes in front of her and carefully observed the situation outside. When she saw the bandage wrapped around Xia Yuan's arm, she seemed to realize something.

"Human, did you save me?"

Xia Yuan's figure appeared deep within the white-haired girl's crimson pupils. She wanted to firmly engrave his appearance in her heart. Once she regained her strength, she would repay this kindness one day. However, he looked so delicious... She really wanted to take a bite.

Chapter 395 is about a moonlit embrace!

At that moment, the girl's crimson pupils became exceptionally eerie.

The girl's thirst for blood drove her to attack him. She had never tasted such sweet and mellow blood and longed to drink it. However, she managed to suppress her primal urges and remained motionless, lurking in the bushes.

Based on the current situation...

The two women beside the human who saved him did not look like ordinary people.

If I were to rush out... I wouldn't be able to defeat her in my current extremely weak state. The girl who came to investigate might also be a vampire hunter who came specifically to hunt me down.

The white-haired girl suppressed her thirst for blood, even slowing her heartbeat and breathing to a level they couldn't detect, and silently memorized the name of the human who saved her.

"Xia Yuan? That's a very nice name. I'll remember it..."

She needed to find an opportunity when the two of them were away to meet Xia Yuan privately and repay his kindness. Of course, if possible, it would be even better if she could take a small bite of him.

She didn't really want the other person's blood; she just wanted to be able to better protect them once she regained her strength.

The girl remained motionless...
