Volume 1: Chapter 82: The Fox, the miko, and the Swarm of Insects

　　The child in her arms was in a deep sleep.

　　The white-haired elder sister, whose body was covered only by a few pieces of cloth, lowered her head.

　　"!"

　　Bronya Zaychik's eyes widened.

　　A slightly ambiguous voice was uttered, which made people blush.

　　The gray-haired girl still remembered the experience she had with the little child under the dark bed.

　　Obviously she is...

　　"Stop it Heavy Bunny!"

　　So, the girl, who could no longer bear it, began to take action.

　　A huge robot appeared behind her and tried to grab the girl with white hair to stop her from taking the next step.

　　"Why... stop... me?"

　　Ishamara looked at her captured body and the Overmind being taken away by another mechanical claw.

　　She didn't understand.

　　Isn’t mating the most primitive behavior of living things?

　　Why stop her?

　　"you……"

　　Bronya Zaychik was speechless.

　　What exactly happened to Skadi?

　　She looked at the girl with white hair and red eyes.

　　The opponent's Honkai energy reading is very low.

　　This means that she is not like Mei Raiden and Kiana Kaslana who transformed into a Herrscher before, which led to a drastic change in her temperament.

　　So what is the reason?

　　Bronya Zaychik didn't understand.

　　“Ka-ka-ka.”

　　A shrill sound came.

　　Isamara stretched out her tender little white hand, grasped the mechanical claw, and then pried it open bit by bit.

　　The purpose of the Poseidon Girl was clear from beginning to end——

　　That is the essence of domination.

　　"?"

　　How can anyone compete with her heavily-armored bunny in terms of strength?

　　Bronya fell into silence.

　　"Give him back to me..."

　　The girl with white hair and red eyes focused her attention on the little child.

　　She broke free from the giant mechanical claw, and the tentacles extending from her body quickly wrapped around another giant mechanical claw.

　　“Crack!”

　　The giant claw made a harsh sound, obviously unable to bear the weight.

　　The Heavy-Armored Bunny was forced to enter a non-physical form at this moment in order to avoid the tentacles' strangulation attack, but this also caused the sleeping Zerg to escape from the giant claws.

　　Looking at the sleeping little child, the Poseidon girl tried to catch the little master that fell from the sky.

　　“Crash!”

　　More energy chains burst out from the cross.

　　“…”

　　Theresa, blushing, controlled Judas, trying to stop the white-haired girl's shocking behavior.

　　But this time, she deliberately strengthened the strength of the energy chain.

　　"Himeko, what are you still looking at? Bring that child here first!"

　　The white-haired nun turned to look at her friend.

　　"Okay, okay."

　　Murata Himeko shrugged.

　　Although Skadi's attitude of doing what she says is quite good at the moment, just like Himeko herself.

　　But a Valkyrie would never do such an...immoral thing.

　　Looking at the white-haired girl whose body was covered only by some tattered pieces of cloth, Murata Himeko couldn't bear to look at it.

　　What kind of Feng Shui treasure land is this small Nagazora City that gathers so many talented people?

　　“Gah!”

　　Suddenly, a purple shadow rushed out.

　　He bit his master's collar at a speed faster than anyone could react.

　　It looked back at the girls, then scurried into the ruins of Nagazora City.

　　“…”

　　The field fell into a brief silence at this moment.

　　Then the pot exploded instantly——

　　"Broken Tooth, where are you going?"

　　Bronya called out the little Zergling's name.

　　"Oh my, this is really..."

　　Murata Himeko shook her head.

　　"???"

　　Am I dazzled?

　　How can there be a creature that runs so fast?

　　She didn't even see it clearly just now.

　　Although she was caught off guard, Theresa believed that she was once an S-class Valkyrie with destiny!

　　"Master...give it to me..."

　　Ishamara once again used her tentacles to pry open the energy chains wrapped around her body.

　　She ignored the dwarf white-haired, red-haired, gray-haired, and the fainted black-haired and white-haired people on the field.

　　The Poseidon girl chased after him.

　　Under such circumstances, the pieces of cloth on his body still stubbornly guarded the last position.

　　"Mmmm."

　　"Guwa."

　　"Gah."

　　The creatures that had previously surrounded this place also began to leave one after another, as if they were going home.

　　Soon, the surroundings fell into silence.

　　"Himeko, go chase them first! I'll be there later!"

　　Theresa wanted to chase the little creature, but there were two people on the field who needed to be taken care of.

　　"Hyperion, activate the Valkyrie recovery device and prepare to recover me and the two wounded!"

　　The little nun ordered.

　　"Himeko, I'll lend Judah to you to go after Zerg."

　　She handed the shrunken cross to Himeko Murata.

　　Judas has many uses, and the hunting mode for tracking targets comes in handy at this moment.

　　"We must bring that child back and never let anyone else get the child!"

　　Theresa assigned the tasks very seriously.

　　“…”

　　A dignified A-rank Valkyrie of destiny now had to race against a woman who was close to a naked body in order to prevent the little child from falling into her clutches.

　　Murata Himeko's expression was very subtle.

　　She never thought that one day she would receive such a task.

　　"I'm leaving now, Himeko."

　　The Hyperion has appeared on the horizon.

　　Theresa held the collar of the white-haired girl in one hand and the collar of Raiden Mei in the other.

　　"I understand, Theresa. I will definitely bring Zerg back!"

　　Himeko saluted and then began this... mission that was hard to comment on.

　　She will play the role of a righteous Valkyrie of destiny. In the Nagazora City that has suffered a great collapse, she will overcome numerous obstacles, defeat the Honkai beasts and assassins that block the way, and look for the little child who was taken away - at the same time, gradually unearth the reasons for Skadi's drastic change in temperament.

　　Theresa watched solemnly as the red-haired Valkyrie disappeared into the ruins.

　　"You must catch up, Himeko!"

　　She prayed devoutly.

　　…………

　　In the dim underground lair.

　　The little master's breathing was steady.

　　But with every breath, the space seemed to vibrate slightly.

　　"Gah."

　　The small purple creature dug a few times on the ground and dug out something that it had previously buried underground -

　　A black box.

　　Then it ran to the Overlord with the box in its mouth and placed it on his chest.

　　The Honkai energy that emanated from the black box merged into the body of the little child.

　　As the energy was replenished, powerful spiritual energy unconsciously spread into the air along with the rhythm of breathing, and then vaguely aroused the consciousness of a certain existence.

　　“…”

　　The girl dressed as a shrine maiden opened her eyes.

　　What comes into view is a completely different world——

　　A huge purple building, numerous small purple creatures, and the little child lying on her lap.

　　“…”

　　He is a very cute child, just like my own sister.

　　The miko lowered her head and looked at the child's face.

　　"Gah."

　　A small purple creature squatted in front of him, flapping its tiny wings on its back.

　　It tilted its head slightly, as if wondering why the box was gone.

　　How long did I sleep?

　　The miko was a little confused.

　　How come the outside world has changed so much?

　　She doesn't understand.

　　After all, these little purple creatures were beyond her understanding.

　　But it doesn’t matter.

　　The miko gently adjusted the little child's position to ensure that he could sleep more peacefully.

　　Then--

　　A huge fox gathered around her.

　　As soon as it appeared, it entered combat mode.

　　What caught its eye was——

　　There were so many hideous and terrifying insects, and their eyes lit up from the darkness that it made it feel a little numb.

　　And lying in the woman's arms was a creature whose shape was completely unclear.

　　It was clearly there, but it couldn't see what it looked like no matter what.

　　It was just the sense of crisis from the deepest part of the body and soul that told it——

　　The being lying on Yae Sakura's legs is a pure monster.

　　"Yae Sakura, have you been sleeping for too long and become delirious? You saw so many bugs, but you didn't even run away!"

　　The giant fox said with a grin.

　　"Why are you running away?"

　　The miko was very confused.

　　She glanced at the little ones around her.

　　There are little guys with cute looks, big guys with shells, and thin guys with long and slender bodies.

　　Well, there's also that weird guy with a sausage-like head.

　　"puff!"

　　There was a sound like something breaking out of an egg.

　　A creature whose eyes were completely two white circles flapped its wings and flew up.

　　The miko didn't feel threatened at all.

　　This was true even though she was surrounded.

　　“…”

　　Crazy!

　　This woman must be crazy!

　　I had just woken up from a long sleep, and when I met them, I ran into a group of hideous and terrifying insects.

　　The giant fox had no idea what was happening in the outside world.

　　Could it be that during the period of slumber, humans have been wiped out by these insects?

　　It speculated.

　　“…”

　　The worm with a broken tooth stared at it.

　　There was no emotion in the golden animal eyes, only bloodthirstiness and desire for killing.

　　"roar!"

　　The giant fox roared.

　　No, it has to leave here quickly!

　　At the same time, we have to bring Yae Sakura, this crazy woman, along!

　　"call out!"

　　The ferocious insect disappeared, and when it reappeared, it had already bitten the fox's neck.

　　"roar!"

　　Pain came from the bitten area.

　　The surrounding insects swarmed up and drowned the huge fox.

　　“…”

　　The miko raised her head slightly and glanced at the huge fox that was swallowed. There was no change in her eyes.

　　The little guys hung on the fox's body, and every time they opened their mouths, they would bite off a part of the fox's body, just like a colony of ants devouring huge prey.

　　However--

　　Yae Sakura didn't care.

　　She just gently took care of the sleeping child in her arms.

　　Anyway, the fox won't die so easily.

　　"Mm?"

　　A creature floating in the air descended and took out a cup of hot tea from behind.

　　“…Thank you.”

　　The miko was silent for a few seconds, then took the hot tea with both hands in a solemn manner.

　　Although I don't know where the hot tea came from, I guess it was the host's treat to the guests.

　　A shrine maiden who has received etiquette training since childhood would naturally not lose her manners.

　　"Mmmm."

　　The suspended creature waved its hand, then pulled out a newspaper.

　　Yae Sakura accidentally saw some pictures on the newspaper, followed by some large numbers.

　　"Guga."

　　The creature with the strange head seen earlier came over with a broom and dustpan.

　　Hmm, there seem to be some familiar-looking pieces of meat in the dustpan.

　　The miko took a glance and paid no more attention.

　　The giant fox was torn to pieces, with its body parts scattered everywhere.

　　The girl simply adjusted her position slightly to ensure that she and the little child would not be splashed.

　　The sausage-headed creature picked up a broom and put the scattered pieces of meat into a dustpan. Then it lifted the dustpan and poured everything in it into the huge purple building.

　　"Gulp."

　　The small purple creature seemed to have swallowed something. It squatted in front of the miko again, and its wings behind it fluttered slightly.

　　“…”

　　The huge fox appeared next to him again.

　　This area is overflowing with a large amount of Honkai energy, enough for it to reconstruct its body again.

　　"Yae Sakura!"

　　The fox roared.

　　There were too many bugs and it couldn't fight back.

　　These bugs are immune to the effects of Honkai energy and can even absorb Honkai energy in return.

　　Especially the bug in front of you with a broken tooth.

　　"Shut up."

　　Noticing the little child's slightly frowned brow,Yae Sakura said something calmly.

　　It disturbed the child in her arms.

　　"You're crazy!"

　　The giant fox was going mad.

　　It no longer understood Yae Sakura's thoughts.

　　Surrounded by so many insects, she showed no resistance at all.

　　Even holding that unspeakable monster!

　　Has she given up on herself and doesn't care about anything anymore?

　　"Gah."

　　Then the toothless bug bit the fox's neck again.

　　Bone spurs pierced its skull and strong acid corroded its body.

　　The bugs swarmed over again.

　　“…”

　　Yae Sakura turned a blind eye to the battle that was so close to her.

　　She just stretched out her hands and covered the little child's ears to prevent him from being woken up.

　　“Tatttatt.”

　　Footsteps were heard in the dark underground lair.

　　Yae Sakura looked up and saw——

　　A white-haired girl, almost naked, walked in.

　　Following the vague connection, Ishamara chased after him.

　　All she had eyes for was the little master.

　　Based on perception——

　　The little child seemed to be about to wake up.

　　But to Ishamara, it didn't matter whether Zerg was awake or asleep.

　　As long as you can obtain the essence of the master, that will be enough.

　　"Give him... to me..."

　　Walking in front of the pink-haired girl, Isamara stretched out her hands.

　　“…”

　　Yae Sakura looked at the face of the child in her arms, then she raised her head to look at the extremely exposed white-haired girl.

　　The world outside... has become such a place that the form of naked bodies doesn't matter?

　　The tips of the miko's ears were tinged with a faint blush.

　　Her ideas are still stuck in her time.

　　It was a very conservative era.

　　Even though she had experienced forbidden love, Yae Sakura still found it hard to accept the fact that the girl was so nonchalant.

　　She took off her clothes and tried to put them on the other person.

　　"dominate……"

　　Then Ishamara picked up the little master.

　　“Hmm…”

　　Zerg opened his eyes.

　　After receiving sufficient energy replenishment, some of the body's functions that were previously restricted due to supply problems were automatically unlocked.

　　This way, when you stand on the fungal mat, you don't have to worry about the insect nest being sucked dry by hunger instinct.

　　"Skadi?"

　　Looking at the deep-sea hunter who seemed to be different, the little master blinked.

　　Then——

　　The giant fox appeared out of nowhere and bit the white-haired girl's head directly.
