Honkai Impact

While Ling Feng didn't know much about Rita, he was aware that she was an S-rank Valkyrie. An S-rank Valkyrie! If she were by his side, he could definitely walk sideways, and he wouldn't even fear Anti-Entropy!

Even though Ling Feng remained suspicious of Rita's motives, they were both part of Schicksal, and this girl was an S-rank Valkyrie. If she wanted to harm him, she wouldn't need any complex schemes; she could just attack directly!

Besides, his true identity was currently only known to Theresa and the other two. Apart from them, he was just an ordinary assistant and cleaner. He shouldn't be worth an S-rank Valkyrie from Schicksal being dispatched to deal with him!

"Thank you, Captain. Please tell me if you need anything..."

Rita maintained her initial smile, her movements barely changing. It was clear that it would be very difficult to discern her thoughts from her outward appearance, unlike Kiana, who could be read at a glance! Mei didn't object either, as the other party was a Valkyrie from Schicksal. Moreover, she was more concerned about Anti-Entropy!

After that, the original team of four became a team of five. Ling Feng felt that Rita was very obedient, not noisy or disruptive, always following him. This was a stark contrast to Kiana, who was like a wild horse that had broken its reins. Ling Feng couldn't help but sigh, wishing he had a maid like that in his own squad. Her strength didn't matter; what was important was obedience and being pleasing to the eye...

Of course, such thoughts were just wishful thinking. An S-rank Valkyrie would never join a team of sluggards like his...

"Captain, Captain, buy this for me!"

Suddenly, Kiana exclaimed again, handing Ling Feng a mask. Ling Feng didn't recognize the mask at all...

"A mask? What are you buying this for? And... this mask is a bit ugly..." Looking at the half-blue, half-red mask in his hand, Ling Feng felt he couldn't understand Kiana's taste...

(Guest appearance, no Kamen Rider characters or main plot involved!)

"It's not ugly at all! This is a Kamen Rider Build mask! It's from the hottest new tokusatsu drama! You don't even know about it!"

Kiana was looking at another mask and had already put it on. She laughed, "Captain, why don't you try saying this to me?"

Kiana knelt on one knee and said, "I pledge my loyalty to you!"

"I refuse!"

Ling Feng: "..." I absolutely won't say it! What kind of embarrassing line is this? I'd rather starve than say it...

"Captain, why don't you try it?"

Mei also quietly stood in front of Ling Feng and smiled, "Of course, Captain can say it to me!"

Without a second's hesitation, Ling Feng immediately put on the mask and knelt down, repeating it in an extremely serious voice, "Mei, since it's you, there's only one answer: I pledge my loyalty to you!"

I pledge my loyalty to you...

Looking at Ling Feng wearing the mask, Rita's memories went back twelve years. She remembered it was winter, in a room, when someone wearing a red and blue mask had said the same words, tone, lines, and even gestures to her... it was all identical...

Moreover, Kamen Rider Build was a tokusatsu drama that only appeared this year, but... the time in her memory was twelve years ago...

"As expected... is this the truth?"

Rita suddenly understood something in her heart, a smile appearing on her face. It seemed she had finally found him, her knight...

Chapter 60: Chain, Void Slash (Rub)!

The mask was eventually bought. However, remembering Tesla's words, she needed to bring her some local specialties. She wondered what the specialties of Japan were. Oh well, she'd find out for a couple of days and then decide when she left!

Afterward, the five of them went to a ramen shop for lunch. As for why they came here, Mei recommended it. Although this kind of food originated from Shenzhou, Mei still preferred her country's ramen; it was super delicious!

Unfortunately, there weren't many festival activities recently, so after eating their fill, they returned to the hot spring inn...

And then, it was time for the much-anticipated hot spring bath. Mixed bathing... that was impossible!

Scythe, katana, dual guns, Project Bunny. Pick one...

Sitting in the living room, Ling Feng watched the four of them enter the hot springs. Only Project Bunny accompanied him...

"Captain, are you lonely? Do you want to..."

Rita walked last. Before entering, she looked at Ling Feng with a smile, as if she still had something to say...

"Hmph, small scene. My heart is completely unmoved!"

Ling Feng crossed his arms, as calm as an old monk in meditation. He had lived for fifty thousand years; he had seen all sorts of scenes...

"Oh... I wanted to invite the Captain to join us, but since the Captain doesn't seem interested, let's forget it..."

Rita feigned regret, sighed slightly, and turned to enter the changing room...

"Wuwuwu..."

Ling Feng's eyes immediately welled up with tears. Although he knew he couldn't go even if Rita invited him, the more he thought about it, the more he felt he was missing out...

"Oh, right, Captain!"

At this moment, Rita poked her head out again and whispered with a smile, "You can listen to our voices and do strange things..."

After saying that, Rita went in again...

Ling Feng: "..." I must have misjudged this maid before. I thought she was a relatively normal maid, but I didn't expect her to be a lewd maid. A maid like this is clearly not a proper maid...

Finally, the four girls enjoyed the hot springs inside, while Ling Feng played Hohom Adventure with Project Bunny in the living room. What do you call being ripped off? This is being ripped off! He spent money, got no benefits, and even had to soak in secondhand hot springs... secondhand... wait...

On second thought, secondhand hot springs seemed like a huge profit! Not only did they have the original fragrance of the hot springs, but they also had the added scent of beautiful girls... Rest assured, one spoonful per person, everyone gets a share. Kuafu, get lost!

Suddenly, Ling Feng felt he wasn't losing out at all; it was a huge profit!

"Hoo hoo... so comfortable..."

In the hot spring pool, Kiana was lying back against the edge of the pool. Her entire body could only be described as refreshed. The feeling of soaking in a hot spring was completely incomparable to taking a bath...

"Bronya, are you alright?"

Mei was also enjoying the hot spring and glanced at Bronya's situation...

"Mhm, no problem!"

Bronya was kicking her legs in the water, but maintained her poker face. She tilted her head slightly, "This time, I'm safe because of my waterproof prosthetic limbs. I was prepared!"

"Mmmph, this is so comfortable, much better than the artificial hot spring pools back at headquarters!" Rita was also lying down and enjoying herself. Due to the excessive buoyancy in certain areas, she didn't want to lie on her stomach, as it would be quite strenuous...

It seems that having large breasts isn't always a good thing. Of course, if I had a choice, I'd still choose to stay this way...

The hot spring pool wasn't large, just a circular pool less than four meters in diameter. In the center stood a large rock about a meter wide. While not huge, it could block quite a bit of the view!

"Click!"

Mei suddenly heard the sound of a camera and quickly looked at Kiana, "Kiana, what are you doing?"

"Taking a commemorative photo! It's my first time in a hot spring, of course, I have to take a photo!"

Kiana was holding her phone with her left hand, aiming it at herself, and raising her right hand slightly in a V-sign. She took another picture...

"Mei, do you want some too?"

As she said that, Kiana aimed her phone at Mei and started snapping photos rapidly. A triumphant, almost lewd smile spread across her face. Normally, Mei never gave her a chance to get close when she was bathing. But now, hehe, a naked Mei was right in front of her. If she didn't take a commemorative photo, it would be a betrayal of all her previous efforts!

"Kiana, no photographing!"

Mei was immediately startled and rushed towards Kiana, trying to stop her foolish (but brilliant!) actions!

"Delete the photos right now, or I won't let you off!"

How could such photos be taken casually? Although Kiana wouldn't intentionally leak them, Mei felt that with Kiana's intelligence, there were countless ways she could accidentally leak them. Dropping her phone, for example, was perfectly normal...

Therefore, no photos could be taken!

"Hey, Mei, don't..."

Kiana quickly ran to the other side, still holding her phone. These were precious photos she had finally managed to capture; how could she just delete them? Absolutely not...

"Yaaah..."

But moving around in the hot spring was extremely difficult. Kiana was instantly caught by Mei...

"Give me the phone, you have to delete them..."

Mei tried to snatch the phone from Kiana's hand. Beichen Iai Style, though without a sword, she had her hands. Mei delivered a chop towards the phone in Kiana's hand!

"Bang!"

Caslana Gun Fu, though without a gun, her hands were her guns. Kiana blocked Mei's chop with her right hand, while her left hand still held the phone high, protecting it securely...

The two began to wrestle in the hot spring. Mei also surprisingly discovered that she was actually struggling to defeat this girl. Both her speed and strength were on par with Mei's, and perhaps even slightly superior...

"Kiana, you're forcing my hand!"

Seeing that she couldn't subdue Kiana anytime soon, Mei immediately changed her strategy. Although she, who had always been meticulous and well-mannered, disdained using this move, now was the time!

Beichen Iai Style, Breast Massage Technique!

Mei hugged Kiana from behind, her hands reaching for the peaks. Then, a branching attack, a series of Void Slashes. Press the attack button, pause, and when the character flashes, press the attack button again to unleash a combo slash, reaching speeds of seventeen slashes in two seconds!

"Wuwu... Mei, I surrender, I surrender..."

Faced with Mei's rapid assault, Kiana immediately surrendered. Damn it, Mei actually used this move...

"Hmph!"

With Kiana surrendering, Mei felt embarrassed to continue. Fortunately, Ling Feng didn't see this scene, otherwise, her image would be completely ruined. She was a refined young lady, not some perverted woman who liked attacking chests!

Mei took the phone from the thoroughly "played with" Kiana and immediately deleted the photos Kiana had just taken...

This way, she was safe...

"Ding..."

The Strongest XX System has successfully bound... Cough cough!

Sorry, it wasn't a system, but a text message alert from Ling Feng's phone. It was from an unknown number, but the avatar was Rita's. Ling Feng clicked it directly, and the message content was...

[Captain, aren't you coming in to take a look?]

And it also came with a photo. In the photo were Kiana and Mei, yes, it was the scene of Mei attacking Kiana's chest...

ps:

By the way, can I take a day off tomorrow? Although I'm not sick, not experiencing writer's block, and have nothing else going on, I just remembered I have a free leave day that will expire next month. It feels like I'd be losing a hundred million if I don't use it!

Chapter 61: Rita, I Hate You!

"Pfft..."

Ling Feng quickly covered his nose. What was going on...

Although not much could be seen due to the mist, it was still quite stimulating...

Morals are declining, ethics are decaying. How dare you, a maid, send me such a photo? What is wrong with this society? What level have people's morals sunk to? I never realized you were this kind of person. You perverted maid, tell me honestly, are you...

Did you really only take this one picture?

Of course, Ling Feng didn't dare to type out that reply to Rita. If Mei or Kiana happened to see Rita's phone, he'd be completely exposed...

Ling Feng took a deep breath, calming himself. He thought about the vastness of the universe and humanity's insignificance. What was a mere photograph in comparison?

"Ding..."

Just then, his phone received another message...

Without a second's hesitation, Ling Feng quickly opened his phone. It was still from Rita, and this time, it was a selfie...

Mimicking Kiana, she placed her hand beside her head, making a V-sign, and wore a smile that clearly said "don't mess with me." It was a shame that half of her chest was submerged in water, making it impossible to see anything...

"Sigh..."

Ling Feng let out a helpless sigh, feeling utterly unfazed. He silently saved the photo, then deleted the message...

Rita didn't send any more photos after that. Kiana and Mei had finished their playful scuffle, and if she sent more, there was a high chance of them being discovered. If that happened, he'd likely face the Beichen Iai Style along with a "well-endowed" reception, and perhaps even a more thrilling "lightning strike"...

The four of them soaked in the bath for a full half hour before coming out. Then, it was Ling Feng's turn...

However, soaking alone in the hot spring felt incredibly melancholic. Just a few minutes ago, there were girls in here, but now he was all alone. This hot spring was practically wasted...

Ah, forget it. He was just saying that. How could he not use something he paid for? Besides, he had technically bathed with them, even if their times were staggered. It was still okay. It would have been even better if they were together. Perhaps it could have triggered some hidden event, like a "hot spring event" or something...

Ideally, Kiana or Mei would barge in right now, triggering the subsequent storyline...

Unfortunately, imagination was a beautiful thing, but reality was harsh. After half an hour of soaking, he was almost dizzy, and no one had barged in yet...

He emerged alone and found the four of them already occupied with their own activities. Kiana and Bronya were playing Hohom Adventure, while Rita had prepared tea and was now playing the exclusive Japanese Shogi game with Mei. Speaking of Shogi, later this year...

Ahem, excuse me, wrong script. It should be: Speaking of Shogi, I wonder how Master Yaichi is doing in prison. It's been a year now, and he'll be out in two more years!
