Next Up Is My Highlight Moment!

Xing originally wanted to get some sleep, since she had been pulled into playing a Yugi while receiving treatment in the treatment pod. Although she had enjoyed a delicious meal and made many new friends at the archives' team-building activity, the mental fatigue was irreparable.

She received a souvenir, Fox Fullbottles. You Hui said that if she found another energy bottle related to the fox, she could assemble Knight Combination and transform into the Fox Magnum Propeller form. Well, how to put it... she fell in love with the fox at first sight, and for some reason, she really liked this Fox Knight.

However, You Hui said that she used some of her powers to incorporate more of the Build elements into the Honkai Branch World. In short, she made the evolution path of the Build born in this Branch World more similar to the original version, otherwise something unexpected might happen.

However, the consequence is that he might have to fight some of the enemies that frequently appeared on the screen before he traveled through time.

Thinking about this, Sachi felt a little worried. "Sigh, Grease is already out, Rouge probably won't be far behind, the Caesar System is probably already under development, the proposal for the Danger Trigger is almost finished, and the Evol Driver probably even has a concept. I only have Cross-Z that can barely fight, when is Lobster Doctor going to finally create Bubble Rabbit Tank? My requirements aren't that high, are they? In the original work, the Grip Driver only works with the Danger Trigger..."

At the St. Freya Academy, Tesla leisurely opened a can of Coke. As she pulled the tab, preparing to drink it, she inadvertently noticed the constantly floating bubbles on the surface of the Coke, and a bright idea suddenly flashed through her mind.

"I've got it! This is how we can solve that problem!"

Tesla clapped his hands excitedly. "So that's how it's solved! I'm so amazing!"

"Wait a minute, it seems like I can't do without Build's combat data. I need to synchronize Rabbit Assistant's current stats. If I use her previous data to create enhancement items, it might kill her..." Lobster Doctor muttered as he pressed Little Te's emergency contact button.

Suddenly, Little Te's body stiffened in the temporary base, and his eyes flashed red. "Tesla Zero, self-destruct countdown, 10, 9, 8..."

"Damn it, I forgot to remove its self-destruct system last time!" Tesla quickly forced the self-destruction to be canceled and found the correct emergency contact button. "Tesla Zero, immediately sync Xing Kaslana's recent combat data and send it to me. Also, report to me on all her activities during this period."

Little Xing: Second highest authority.

The great genius Dr. Tesla: First and highest authority.

Instruction: Temporarily withhold all information regarding Kane Kaslana from Dr. Tesla. This instruction should be voided.

Little Te blinked; her processing center told her she should report this to Tesla.

"Tesla Zero is analyzing the pros and cons of the results..."

"The results are in. Given Dr. Tesla's fiery temper, it is best to temporarily conceal Kane Kaslana's information. We will determine whether he is qualified to use Cross-Z based on the specific circumstances."

After weighing the pros and cons, Little Te decided to keep his knowledge from his inventor.

——Hanmen——

"So, Mr. Chen, what exactly happened?"

Not long after she left, she returned to the gangster building and was surrounded by a group of burly men in black. She was then led into a secluded hall where she met Mr. Chen.

"Luming! My daughter has really been Kidnapping this time, please, you must save her!"

After kicking his underlings out, Boss Chen took off his sunglasses, hugged the girl's leg, and cried bitterly. It was clear that he was a doting father.

Xing: "..." Aren't you a gang leader? How dare someone Kidnapping your daughter? Can't you handle this yourself?

Of course, Boss Chen could guess what she was thinking. After taking a few deep breaths of the red and blue stockings that smelled of a young girl, he reluctantly released her thighs, stood up gracefully and calmly, put on his sunglasses, and resumed his state as a gangster boss.

"Luming Lady, as someone close to Miss Natasha, you should know that there are some areas in this world that ordinary people are unaware of, so I need your help."

"I see..." Thinking of his attitude towards her, Xing revealed a subtle smile. "Then you know the rules, right? I like straightforward people when I'm paid to do things."

"How much do you want? Name your price as long as you can save my daughter!" Boss Chen patted his pocket generously, indicating that he had plenty of money.

"I don't care much about money, but there are some things I can't do in this underworld, so..." Xing glanced at him, the meaning of which was self-evident.

(After all, they had saved enough money with Natasha before.)

And so, the two reached an agreement.

When the surveillance footage was reviewed and Cocolia's familiar figure was seen, Sachi wasn't surprised at all. Hey, what's she doing? Has she become a human trafficker? The former Anti-Entropy leader of Anti-Entropy has actually fallen to this state. Sigh!

PS: When Cocolia saw Sachi last time, she never expected that Sachi was stuck in this form. She thought it was Sachi in disguise, so she didn't report it to Jackal. In addition, with Raven turning a blind eye, I guess the identity of the Idol Rider can be kept a secret for a long time.

Since they're old acquaintances, there's nothing more to it. Let's prepare for battle!

But why would Cocolia kidnap an unrelated girl? Last time she even Kidnapping a panda to take back and transfer Honkai Energy to it...

Wait a minute!

The girl was startled. Hey, if it was as she thought, then that Silly Pervert was in super danger right now!

—I, Kane, will never be defeated! (After saying this, he is sent flying)—

In an abandoned factory, a blue-gold Dragon Knight is locked in a fierce battle with a strange man.

(Let's play somewhere else next time.)

The strange creature looks like a combination of a pirate and a skeleton, with a grappling hook on its left hand, a large machete in its right hand, and what appears to be a gun holster at its waist.

Kane had no idea what kind of monsters these were; after all, even Xing hadn't figured out their origins. However, based on his own guess, they were similar to the Honkai zombie, after all—

The monster swung the hook claw embedded in his left hand and struck him in the chest. Kane used the Beat Closer to block, but it turned out to be just a feint. Seeing that he had restrained the knight's weapon, the pirate monster raised his cleaver and slashed it hard. The sparks that burst out illuminated the dim, dilapidated factory.

The strange creature let out a roar that was hard to understand, and it sounded very happy. But it was a little puzzled. It had clearly hit the creature, so why didn't the creature even let out a scream?

"Got you!"

Kane gritted his teeth and grabbed the left hand holding the machete, plunging the Beat Closer into its chest. The tip of the sword emerged from the other side, piercing through its body.

The pirate monster seemed to have lost all its strength. Its weapon slipped from its hand, and it staggered back a few steps, barely managing to steady itself.

"It's over!"

Kane pulled out the Dragon Bottle and inserted it into the end of the Beat Closer. He pulled the lever three times in succession, and scorching dragon flames spread across the sword, completely killing the pirate monster from the inside.

"Phew, that's great. At first, I was worried I'd get knocked away again because it was so agile. Thank goodness, I didn't crash this time." Kane breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the charred pirate monster lying on the ground. Next, he took out Blank Bottle to collect the special Honkai Energy from its body and took it back to Little Te to purify it, right?

Hehe, I wonder if Luming will praise me. I hope I can officially possess the power of Cross-Z Charge soon. Although I'm not very satisfied with the appearance of that form, as long as it's strong, that's fine.

Blue particles floated out from the corpse and flowed into the Blank Bottle in the knight's hand. The charred corpse, which had been grotesque, revealed its true appearance. Kane was slightly stunned after seeing this, and lowered his head in silence for a while.

Blue flames burned in his hands. After praying for the unknown victim in his heart, Kane completely destroyed the corpse, leaving no trace.

PS: The Rocket Uncle I defeated at the zoo last time turned to ash after being kicked by Faiz's Rider, and was swept away by the cleaning lady the next day.

Let's see how Luming is doing. Although she's much more mature than me, she's still a girl. What if something happens to her?

Influenced by the psychology of teenage boys and Kaslana's heroism, Kane rode the Mechanical Creator, asked Little Te for a seat, and then drove away.

Shortly after he left, the Raven emerged from the shadows and uploaded the recorded data.

As for Xing—

The girl looked at the ME Company building in front of her, wondering why it hadn't been demolished after that incident. How did Schicksal manage to do things this way?

Bishop Otto, who was handling official business, suddenly felt very frustrated.

Last time she used herself as bait to successfully enter, what will she do this time?

Judging from the Honkai Vision, the level of security inside doesn't seem to be any worse than it was back then.

It's impossible for it to happen again. Right now, she's just a pure girl. If the Jackal take advantage of her, she'll never be able to face Sakura and the others again.

Luckily, I hid in a corner of the underground parking lot without surveillance cameras. Frustrated, I pulled out my Ninja Manga outfit, which was still recovering. Sigh, I used it too much to call for backup at the Golden Ocean Park last time, so it's no longer usable and I can't even sneak in anymore.

Furthermore, the most destructive Dragon Lock combination is currently unusable. If she encounters Grease again, it seems that only transforming into the Accelerate Faiz can defeat her. However, in that case, she will undoubtedly be captured and enter the Defeat CG due to her exhaustion.

Just as she was fretting over something, she suddenly remembered something and took out the Fox Fullbottles to examine it closely.

"I remember You Hui telling me that the Magnum Propeller Thruster, the basic form of the Extreme Fox, seems to be very powerful? Hmm, let me see if I have any bottles that can Knight Combination... I found it!"

"Fox!" Bike! Rider Match!"

Are you ready?

The girl tossed her hair aside and elegantly snapped her fingers. "Transform."

"Set!" Dual On! Get Ready For—Boost & Magnum!"

The red and blue knight's half-armor merged with the girl's body, but suddenly the art style changed.

The red and white Fox Knight looked at his hands, which concealed two gun barrels, and said confidently, "Come on, from this moment on, it's Highlight!"

Huh, why did I blurt out that? Oh well, whatever!

In the Knight World, Ukiyo Ace, who was being brutally beaten by the Jyamato Knight while in the flesh-body grass monster, suddenly felt a sudden weakness in his kidneys.

His own Mechanical Creator was also affected by the power of the Extreme Fox, transforming into Propeller Vanguard. He mounted the red motorcycle, drove at full speed, and headed towards ME Company.

"Ready—Fight!"

——Divider——

Inside the ME Company, Cocolia looked at Silly Pervert Honkai Energy being continuously injected into the laboratory and couldn't help but recall the past. Once, she also stood here, confronting that damned Sachi Kaslana face to face.

If that damned Raven hadn't stopped me, I would have killed her long ago, otherwise none of this mess would have happened!

Bronya, Rosalia, Liliya, Seele, you took them all from me one after another, and then you even took Apricot along with the entire orphanage!

(Ahem, Cocolia wanted to leave with the children from the orphanage, but she was knocked unconscious and carried away by Gray Serpent. Then Old Yang and the others took in those children and rebuilt an orphanage.)

At the St. Freya Academy, Anzu, who was making cherry jam with the Arin Sisters with a disgruntled expression, watched the two sisters bickering and felt a mix of helplessness and relief. These two idiots were still the same as before, which was nice.

"Hey, you two, get your act together! Why am I the one doing all the cooking while you're eating? Fine, you can eat, but don't eat all the cherry jam and cherry ingredients!" the exasperated girl complained. If this were before, she would have already punched her.

Without realizing it, her temper improved a lot, and she wasn't as irritable as before.

Xing suddenly realized this and wanted to get angry, but found that she couldn't find a reason to be angry. After sighing, she continued to play with the Arin Sisters.

Even Anne Marr herself didn't realize that she had come to love this kind of life.

Rita's short, purplish-pink hair, which originally resembled that of a boy, gradually grew longer. Under Rita's tutelage, cough, cultivation, her tomboyish temperament slowly changed, and she began to take care of her younger sisters like a real older sister.

No, she was the older sister all along, but she didn't quite know how to properly express her feelings, and she never had that opportunity, neither to herself nor to her younger sisters.

Now, Anne Mar has plenty of time and opportunity.

Author's Note—

It's not about whitewashing, it's just...

Everyone has a soft side, right?

Anzu (Honkai Impact 2 looks better)
