Fire Moth Squad, Loadout Update!

(After defeating Ashvatta and rescuing the Arin Sisters, Black Seele's favorability increases from 79 to 80.)

In a black-and-white room, two girls who looked very similar were curled up in bed, showing no intention of getting up.

"Hey, another me, let go of me, Seele Seele n't get up, she'll be late!" White Seele tried to pry off Black Seele, who was clinging to her, but when she felt the other's warm breath on her, her face turned red and she stopped.

"No, she's still sleeping. She'll get angry if I wake her up, and Seele can't disturb her sleep. But, but we're going to be late! Waaah, why can't Seele learn to quantumize on her own?"

Black Seele was pretending to be asleep, secretly opened her eyes and looked at White Seele, who was about to cry. She gave a fleeting wicked smile and slowly tightened her grip on White Seele's neck and waist.

"Ah!" White Seele was startled when she was almost pressed against her other personality. "What are you doing, my other self?!"

"Seele ..." Black Seele whispered indistinctly in her ear, pretending to talk in her sleep, "Don't, leave me..."

White Seele trembled upon hearing this, and said nothing more, but silently hugged her. Their breathing and heartbeats were almost audible to each other. In a daze, White Seele drifted off to sleep.

Hmph, although that guy always likes to tease me, he's actually quite right. Seele very gentle and won't refuse anyone's request.

I already knew about this, okay? Did I need him to remind me?

Black Seele became inexplicably irritable, but when she saw White Seele sleeping soundly, her anger subsided. "Hmph, I'm doing this for your own good. It's so hot outside, be careful not to steam yourself. Wouldn't it be better to stay here and enjoy the air conditioning?"

P. S.: The air conditioner in the classroom is broken and hasn't been fixed yet.

The mischievous yet Tsundere girl yawned, pinched the boy's delicate cheek, and drifted off to sleep...

?

Black Seele suddenly opened her eyes, her heterochromatic red and blue pupils rolling her eyes at her. "It's this late, why are you two still sleeping?"

"Get off me!" The enraged loli slammed her paw into the innocent bed, smashing it to pieces. Where was her Seele? How did she end up like this...? "Hmm, thinking about it carefully, it doesn't seem like it's impossible." She looked at Sachi, who had transformed into a speed-type and barely dodged the attack, and a smile crept onto her lips.

If she remembered correctly, the boy had not fully recovered from the injuries and energy he had expended last time.

Come play with me, let's have some fun~

He suddenly felt a chill in certain areas and was about to create some distance when a pair of claws carrying chains emerged from the ground and nimbly bound him. At the same time, a feeling of weakness washed over him as Black Seele instantly drained a large amount of Honkai Energy from him.

"Hey, stop right there! You can't do that there!!!" The weak and immobile fox-eared boy could only watch helplessly as the Black Seele, her eyes glowing red, laughed wildly and pounced on him...

"FBI OPEN THE DOOR!" In the nick of time, Bronya pried open the door and stopped Black Seele's violence. "Stop! Let me touch her first!"

"Let's go together, big sister~" Black Seele deliberately turned Sachi's fox tail towards her, then casually picked up her own stocking from last night and stuffed it into Sachi's mouth. "Waaaaah! (Hey, don't go too far!)"

"Hmph, at least they know what's good for them." Bronya closed the door behind her, and then—

The following is omitted (100,000 words omitted)... Just kidding~

"Feather Crossing Dust, save me!" A large number of red feathers floated out of his body, and the two lolis's movements and expressions froze for a moment.

After resting on Black Seele's claws for a while, Xing absorbed some energy from her and regained her mobility. After taking the soaking wet stocking out of her mouth, she wiped away the cold sweat with lingering fear and gave each of them a light tap on the head (not very hard). "If there's a next time, I'll add a mental restriction that you can never touch each other again, understand?"

Bronya, now back to normal, blinked. "So, you can touch it then~"

"Why are you so fond of my ears and tail?" Sachi sighed helplessly, and involuntarily thought of Hiyokomaru and Pardo, who were always petted by him, and suddenly he understood.

"By the way, the professor invented a miniature refrigerator, so there's no need to worry about the heat outside. Hurry up and get to class!"

——Love Gate——

In the secret laboratory of the Fire Moth Base One, all the team members except Fu Hua were gathered. Even the cleaning lady, Grandpa Xing, was there serving tea and water to Black Seele, although the tea she brewed was comparable to Kiana's cooking.

"Oh, this outfit really suits you, Sister An~" Black Seele sat in a chair, legs crossed, looking at An, who was dressed in a maid outfit, with an arrogant expression. "Sigh, thank Brother Xing for his mercy, even though you broke ten plates, eight cups, and seven dishes on your first day here..."

"Damn it, if that damned guy hadn't put a mental restriction on me, I would have killed you all!" Miss Ann Mar, dressed in a pink maid outfit, almost ground her teeth to powder as she glared fiercely at Black Seele, unaware that her defeated expression only brought Black Seele more pleasure.

"Is it not right for my other self to treat Sister Xing like this?" White Seele asked timidly, standing beside her.

"Huh? You've been incredibly lenient with her, haven't you? If it were me, I'd pour chili oil all over her every day, whip her hundreds of times, and then..." Black Seele vividly described her imagined execution scene, making Xing and White Seele's faces turn pale with fright.

"Hey, Little Xing, Bronya said you grew a tail. Switch to Speed Type and let your big sister touch it, okay?" Kiana pestered Sachi, wanting to rub her, completely unaware that Mei, with a dark Mei, had kindly drawn her katana behind her.

You dare flirt with other women while pursuing me? You're asking for it!

PS: This is Herrscher Mei.

Thankfully, Mei managed to reclaim her account in time, otherwise Herrscher Mei might have woken up the Herrscher of Void with a single strike, and then, she'd get beaten up by her main account using Divine Grace...

In the original story, Theresa herself was inadequate, and the newly awakened Herrscher of Void was relatively powerful, which is why she broke Judah's chains. Now, well...

On the other side, Sachi couldn't stand the pitiful looks from Kiana and the newly joined Arin Sisters, so he reluctantly offered his ears. However, he didn't expect someone to sneak up on his tail from behind. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to Luna, who had escaped from the Stigmata Space!

The vampire playfully stuck out its tongue at him before disappearing.

"Ahem, everyone be quiet. Do you still want the new weapon?" Tesla slammed her hand on the table in anger at the commotion below, drawing everyone's attention to her.

"Ahem, first of all, it's the core augmentation combat suit I created based on the power of the Gem of Conquest, the Dawn Assault, which can greatly enhance Mei's combat abilities and better help Mei use the power of the Herrscher Core within her."

Tesla pressed a button, and fortunately, he didn't accidentally press the self-destruct button again. A cultivation chamber rose from the ground, and a blue and white combat suit that Xing was very familiar with was now lying quietly inside.

"Hey, what about the accompanying weapons?" Fortunately, he discovered the blind spot.

Tesla glanced at him, held out his hand as if asking for money, and said, "Give me funding!"

"Cough, cough, there's no rush..." Xing Ru said, who was a little short of money recently. His illicit money activities had attracted the attention of various organizations, and if he continued, it would be bad if he attracted Otto's attention.

Sigh, who knew that the account Hiyokomaru hacked into last time contained Otto's secret stash of money?

"Then there's the Core Augmentation Combat Suit, Comet Drive, which is an improvement on the Drive Armor Yamabuki Armor. It strengthens the shield device on the original basis and ensures that the user can provide additional protection to allies other than themselves, while also ensuring that it does not affect the normal combat of themselves and the enemy. Hehe, isn't this genius amazing?" Tesla proudly puffed out his chest, unaware that his nose had grown longer.

"Amazing! Amazing!" Everyone applauded in response, eager to satisfy her vanity.

"And then there's Sachi spending a fortune on Wendy... Hey, Bronya, why did your eyes suddenly become so fierce? Ahem, let me introduce the armor first. Sachi named it Windbird Retreat Feather, and for some reason kept emphasizing to me that I needed more fabric. The armor enhances agility and mobility, and adds a flight booster, but sacrifices most of its defense. You could say that if it gets hit by an enemy, the damage it takes will be..."

Bang!

The Prototype Pulse Greatsword was deeply embedded in the floor. Xing's eyes remained unchanged, but his voice revealed an unwavering conviction. "I will not let my comrades be harmed."

Because I will be the first to suffer before them.

"Brother Xing ..." Wendy covered her face, tears streaming from between her fingers.

"Alright, you're pretty good anyway." Tesla didn't dwell on it too much. "And then there's Xing, who asked me to modify it for him..."

"Hey, wait a minute, don't I get a turn?" Kiana became anxious as she realized it was still not her turn.

"Yes, take out yours first." Tesla took out another button and pressed it. The lab instantly lit up with a bright red light. "Self-destruct countdown, 10, 9, 8..."

"Sorry, I took the wrong one!" Tesla frantically found the forced termination device and averted the crisis.

"Why did you install a self-destruct function here?!" Everyone roared at her in unison.

"Ahem, my mistake, my mistake." Tesla was extremely embarrassed. After confirming several times, he pressed the button, and a culture chamber rose up from inside.

"This one cost even more to make than Wendy's, and Sachi dragged me into revising it fifteen times! Fifteen times!" Just thinking about it made Tesla grit his teeth in anger; his furious red eyes practically blazed with lasers that could kill Sachi on the spot. "Every time, it was either something wasn't done right or the power output was unsatisfactory. What's worse, he actually told me in the end that the first version was the best! I'm so pissed off!" (Anti-Entropy profanity)

Everyone silently turned their attention to the bewildered Kiana. Goodness, so you were the one Sachi cared about the most!

Behind Bronya, the Heavy-Duty Rabbit 19C, now in black and red, slowly appeared, wielding the Star Destroyer Cannon 19C. Cyan Wind Blade gathered around Wendy. "Kiana, aren't you going to explain yourself?! ×2"

"Huh? I... I don't know either. Sachi is the closest to you guys, so why?" Kiana, flattered, looked at Sachi, while the boy crossed his arms and turned his head away. "Is there a problem? As the captain, if she's not well-equipped and causes the combat power to drop, it'll be Fire Moth. It's okay for me to spend a little more money and put in a little more effort, right?"

Bronya & Wendy: "..." Another new competitor has emerged. Why say "another"?

"Hmph, thanks, Sachi." Kiana squatted down and picked up the reluctant Sachi, excitedly ruffling the white fur.

"Stop fooling around, introduce the armor first!" Xing coughed a few times, then took over Tesla's work, slowly saying:

"Sky Ranger, designed to perfectly suit Kiana's fighting style, effectively enhances her ranged combat and melee abilities. Although it lacks teleportation, its speed is not to be underestimated, and it's equipped with a melee energy lightsaber. However, the load is quite heavy, requiring a cooldown period before it can be used again. Furthermore, it incorporates the weapon system of White Knight Moonlight, allowing it to deliver brutal, hand-to-hand combat while suppressing enemy fire. It's really... sorry, I can't think of a better description."

Kiana looked at the simple and stylish black combat uniform and had a strange feeling for some reason, as if she was destined to wear this armor in the future. Mei and Bronya next to her had the same feeling.

P. S.: This is a replica of the Sky Ranger, since the Kiana the Herrscher of Void hasn't awakened her powers yet. However, although it lacks the Herrscher of the Herrscher's authority, Sachi and Tesla have crammed a bunch of heavy weaponry onto it...

"Finally, Sachi asked me to change the look of his Divine Key Armor: Imai. After all, he's a boy, and it's too much to ask him to wear women's armor all the time."

The newly designed Divine Key Armor, now available, still emphasizes protection for the upper body, but this time the design is much more normal. A black, sheer bodysuit covers the area from the neck to the thighs, accented with light white armor. A skirt has been added, reflecting Yuki's preferences. The overall style is now more symmetrical, with the addition of a right-hand sleeve and left-hand gauntlets. The two black stockings of different lengths have been replaced with black ankle socks and ankle boots.

"Cool!" Xing gave a thumbs up with satisfaction.

"Hey, so that means all of ours are new, and only Sachi is still using the old ones?" Kiana realized what was happening and looked at Sachi with confusion and slight anger. "I know you care about us, but you should also take care of yourself!"

"It doesn't matter." Xing spread his hands, completely calm. "I don't need the protection and amplification of armor, but you do. Because you don't have my powerful recovery and self-healing abilities."

Mei remained silent, her right hand gripping the hilt of the sword at her waist tightly. Despite being the youngest, she was always at the forefront, which made her older sisters feel ashamed.

P. S.: Mei is right, Mei is only 11 years old. She's two years younger than the youngest, Bronya.

Bronya didn't seem to think anything of it, "Hey, think about how strong Xing is, does he really need armor?"

Everyone was speechless. Indeed. At first, they needed to be equipped with Bonded Weaponry, but now it seems that it's no longer necessary.

Wendy, with tears in her eyes, threw herself into Sachi's arms. "Sachi, Brother Xing, you're so amazing! Principal Theresa will be so proud!"

"Seele, I really want to become a strong and reliable person like Brother Xing, so that I can help Sister Bronya." White Seele said with great longing.

Seeing this Black Seele poured cold water on the idea, saying, "Come on, with your guts, you should overcome your fear of the dark first. (Just kidding, I recently looked through his records, how has this guy survived this long?! If you were like him, you'd probably be dead already...)"

"Hey, what about ours?!" the Arin Sisters tried to get attention. "Don't we get any?"

"Huh? You guys just joined. You'll have to wait if you want armor. Hey, I think there is one. Hey, Sachi, come here for a second!" Tesla didn't want to deal with these two annoying brats. Just as he was feeling annoyed, he suddenly had a brilliant idea. He took out the Build belt, called Sachi over, snapped it onto his waist, and pulled out the Ashvatta Combo and inserted it.

After a burst of cheerful sound effects, Fanatic Blues Δ, wielding two alien greatswords, stood there dumbfounded.

Author's Note—

Well, from Kiana and the others' perspective, Sachi's experience of barely defeating three monsters in the simulation battle system last time has already greatly increased their understanding of this young boy's strength.
