A Person in Honkai, This Narration Is Not Right / Honkai Scroll Dog Road Chapter 5

"Notify Bronya and have her investigate this brat's identity and address."

"Understood."

Upon hearing Cocolia's command, the staff member beside her immediately transmitted the order to Bronya, who was on standby.

A few minutes later, Bronya proactively contacted Cocolia.

"Mother, Bronya has located this man's residence. Furthermore, Bronya has also discovered that he is an exchange student at Chiba Academy."

"Very good. Go to his residence and search for anything we desire. Also, clean up the place after he returns."

Cocolia didn't explicitly state it, but Bronya already understood her adoptive mother's intentions.

This man was also a pawn placed by Schicksal in Changkong City, and even someone positioned near their target, Raiden Mei.

If he wasn't dealt with now, he could very well interfere with Cocolia's plans.

For Bronya, who desperately sought to find Seele again by harnessing the power of the Herrschers, this was something she absolutely could not tolerate.

The Silver Wolf of Uluru was not a soft-hearted person. In fact, having been trained as a child soldier for several years, she had already taken many lives.

If it was for Seele, Bronya wouldn't mind staining her hands with blood once more.

As for why Cocolia dispatched Bronya on this mission, the reason was quite simple.

Previously, when she had sent other subordinates to carry out cleanup tasks, some of them were nearly killed by Otto's lackeys due to insufficient strength.

If Cocolia hadn't been a bit more cautious this time and sent enough personnel, a few of those rats might have escaped and lingered in the outside world.

And this time, this young man hadn't even been detected as a Schicksal operative by Anti-Entropy members.

Under these circumstances, Cocolia felt it was best to maintain her previous caution and send her strongest soldier to execute this mission.

"Hmph, an S-rank Valkyrie... While she's indeed troublesome, she wouldn't dare to be too reckless in this place."

"After dealing with that rat, I'll think of a way to put some pressure on Raiden Mei."

Several minutes earlier, Bronya Zaychik, having arrived at Lin Yu's residence, immediately began searching the premises.

Unfortunately, perhaps due to the complete annihilation of other Schicksal members lurking in Changkong City, Bronya couldn't find any useful information in the man's residence.

"Hmm, there's no other way."

Connecting to the nearby surveillance system via her neural chip, Bronya suddenly detected that Lin Yu had returned to the lowest floor of the building.

In a few more minutes, Lin Yu would be back here.

Bronya understood her mother's intentions perfectly.

Investigating this guy wasn't the important mission.

The mission was to prevent this guy from hindering her mother's plans.

Quickly tidying up the scene, the young girl suppressed her aura and hid herself.

The moment the man stepped into the room, Bronya moved.

Already possessing powerful combat skills, the girl spotted the opponent's flaws the instant he entered her line of sight.

But honestly, there were too many flaws.

A special agent dispatched by Schicksal to Changkong City... Didn't Mother say they were all difficult to deal with?

This unguarded posture was simply... like an ordinary person.

Could it be that we were mistaken?

Or perhaps, the information Bronya found was just a decoy Schicksal planted in the database to mislead us, and he's really just a normal person?

Although doubts arose in her mind, Bronya didn't halt her actions.

In combat, hesitation usually meant defeat.

In past missions, many of Bronya's enemies had underestimated her due to her youthful appearance.

Those enemies who had underestimated Bronya were, naturally, no longer in this world.

Bronya would certainly not make such a foolish mistake. Even if this man were truly just an ordinary person, she had to go all out at this moment!

With that thought, Bronya, who was preparing to knock Lin Yu unconscious, in the next instant...

"Sigh."

With Lin Yu's sudden sigh, the girl's exoskeleton armor was directly grabbed by Lin Yu, who then slammed Bronya heavily onto the ground.

Chapter 8. Stop Faking It

Theoretically speaking, Lin Yu was undoubtedly a novice in combat.

Although he had the boost of a skill granted by the narrator for his fighting techniques, there was a difference between having a skill and completely mastering it.

He possessed the skill, but if his proficiency was zero, he could at best bully ordinary people with it.

To defeat Bronya, who had undergone life-or-death training and combat, using a combat-enhancement skill with zero proficiency... that was pure fantasy.

If he hadn't also drawn another skill, [Mirror Mind], beforehand, he would have chosen to turn and run the moment he detected her presence.

As soon as Lin Yu entered the room, he activated the Mirror Mind ability.

After activating this ability, he could clearly feel that his perception had been greatly enhanced.

Let alone the small, malicious figure behind him, he could even sense the subtle changes in the airflow caused by the opponent's movements.

It was precisely because his perception had been greatly enhanced and his state of mind had become incredibly calm that Lin Yu, without seeing the opponent, could determine Bronya's position based on the airflow and then grab her exoskeleton, slamming her heavily onto the ground.

Although the enemy's sudden counterattack caused the young girl some pain, this level of pain was not enough to make Bronya lose her fighting spirit or composure.

At this moment, Bronya, who had sprung up from the ground with a swift recovery move, created some distance between herself and Lin Yu and began to watch him with extreme vigilance.

As expected, Bronya had just been overthinking things.

Not only was he not an ordinary person, but his skills... he was definitely one of the most troublesome types among Schicksal agents.

Even his seemingly unguarded state when he first entered the room was an act.

He appeared to be defenseless against everything around him, luring Bronya into a hasty first strike. In such a rush, Bronya was more likely to overlook details, and it would be easier for him to exploit her flaws.

This was troublesome.

This was not an opponent Bronya could quickly and stably take down.

Should she summon the Heavy Cannon here?

After glancing around, Bronya immediately abandoned the thought.

The Heavy Cannon was undoubtedly her trump card, but now...

If she revealed her trump card in this place, she was confident she could defeat her opponent.

However, this apartment was very close to Chiba Academy, and Raiden Mei's apartment was also in this area.

He probably chose this location to easily monitor Raiden Mei.

And if Bronya acted rashly, it might disrupt her mother's plan.

It wasn't time yet, she would wait...

!!!

Before Bronya could think for too long, Lin Yu had already made his move.

Bronya thought she had an unknown trump card up her sleeve, but in front of Lin Yu, a transmigrator, this trump card had long been exposed.

Lin Yu didn't dare to claim he understood Honkai Impact 3 that well; after all, he was only a casual player and hadn't fully grasped the plot or all the settings.

But the problem was, he wasn't completely ignorant of the initial setup of The Trio before they entered St. Freya Academy.

Now he understood why the system had judged the person invading his apartment as a life-or-death crisis.

Bronya was strong, but Lin Yu, with his enhanced skills, wouldn't die at the hands of this little girl.

But the problem was—she still had her quantum mech.

Once Bronya was pushed to her limit and summoned her mech, Lin Yu himself would be the one to die.

In fact, if Lin Yu had chosen to retreat at that moment, leaving his back to the enemy, Bronya might have directly summoned her mech and shot him full of holes.

His only chance of winning now was to knock her out before this little girl realized something was wrong.

After all, Bronya at this stage was a summoner; her destructive power lay entirely in her summons, and her own body was a weakness.

After making his decision, Lin Yu unhesitatingly began to attack.

And after he made his move, Bronya was completely convinced that Lin Yu had been pretending to be a novice just now.

Lin Yu's moves weren't complicated, but as a child soldier, Bronya knew that killing techniques didn't need to be overly complex.

The speed and accuracy of this man's attacks were too high. After he charged forward, they exchanged less than ten blows before Bronya was at a disadvantage.

And that wasn't the most troublesome part for her.

Bronya could feel that Lin Yu's moves were becoming more skilled, and his attack angles were becoming more cunning.

If Lin Yu had been like a beginner with extremely fast reflexes but unrefined moves just now, then the current Lin Yu was definitely growing rapidly.

Of course, no matter how much he grew in less than thirty seconds, he couldn't instantly become a martial arts master.

But combined with his current terrifying state, the grown Lin Yu was definitely enough to beat her.

Just because she had these thoughts, Bronya, who had been slightly distracted for a moment, was hit in the head by Lin Yu's punch.

Feeling her vision go black, the young girl immediately felt a violent impact in her abdomen.

Before she could even react, after being hit repeatedly, Lin Yu had already thrown her away.

At this moment, feeling her body completely out of control, Bronya slammed heavily against the apartment door and slowly slid to the ground from it.

"Ah, I won already?"

Looking at the seemingly unconscious Bronya, Lin Yu felt that something was not quite right.

Based on their exchange just now, if Lin Yu had just refined his fighting skills a little more, defeating Bronya wouldn't have been a problem.

But she was knocked out after just a few moves...

[The frail girl before you appears to be unconscious. If it were usual, you would definitely have her... hehehe.]

[But the wise and mighty you know very well that she's faking sleep. At times like this, you should teach this little girl a lesson with a righteous iron fist, so she knows that lying is wrong!]

Just as I thought.

Speaking of wise and mighty... isn't that making me sound really full of myself?

"Mmm, looks like the problem's been solved. So then..."

Excellent, this girl has fallen for it. As soon as she shows an opening, Bronya will...

"Stop faking it."

Before Bronya could make a move, Lin Yu dashed forward, reaching Bronya's side and lifting her off the ground.

"Think about it. We have no prior grievances, yet you attacked so fiercely. It seems I don't need to hold back at this moment either."

"Furthermore, you're an accomplice assisting a villain in preparing to awaken a Herrscher. Truly..."

"—It's better if you just die here, Bronya Zaychik."

Chapter 9: Absolutely Brilliant, Utterly Terrible

"It's better if you just die here, Bronya Zaychik."

Although Lin Yu uttered these words at this moment, it didn't mean he harbored any killing intent towards Bronya in his heart.

On the contrary, Lin Yu, who was in the Mirror Mind state, wouldn't possibly have such emotions.

In his current view, defeating the enemy who might threaten his life was what he needed to do right now.
