To the Heroes Who Bear the Weight for Us
In the quiet night, a dazzling red light suddenly shone, from which thick black smoke rose.
"Fire!"
"Call 119 immediately!"
Under the bright neon lights, a red Fire Truck sped along the road, carrying a group of brave young people to put out a fire.
Fortunately, the response was timely and the fire was not large, so it was quickly brought under control and the property damage was not significant. It was just a pity that the young couple's newly purchased house with a loan was burned down, but thankfully they had insurance.
"Hey boss, we've been going on call more and more often lately. I can't take it anymore," a rookie firefighter complained to his captain on the way back.
The captain glared at him and scolded, "How dare you talk like that? Every second we arrive earlier means people's lives and property are safer. We're fighting for the people!"
The newcomer sighed and explained, "No, boss, what I mean is, I hope there will be fewer fires, so that people will be less threatened and we can go out of work less often."
The captain was stunned for a moment, then laughed and punched him lightly. "You little rascal, you've got it covered! Come on, brothers, it's my treat tonight, let's go back and have barbecue!"
"Oh. ×N" Everyone was uninterested.
Seeing their lack of interest, the captain felt embarrassed and shouted again, "More ice cream!"
"OHHHH! ×N!" The other firefighters excitedly tossed their captain into the air.
—I hope firefighters can spend all their time at the base playing on their phones and eating barbecue, and never have to go on duty—
Inside Build's temporary base number one, the young girl and boy were arranging all the Fullbottles one by one.
"I previously used my abilities to create some Fullbottles, but their energy intensity couldn't compare to those that were officially created. Fortunately, thanks to the Honkai Energy nurturing the Doctor, this problem has been solved, except for the Ninja Manga that overused them before." Sachi tenderly stroked the purple and yellow bottles; these were her most mobile forms before!
"Fortunately, the Pirate Train form can be used as a substitute." She tossed aside the purple and yellow bottles and happily picked up the blue and green bottles.
Ah, women!
"Wow, Luming, you have so many bottles!" Kane's eyes lit up as he looked at the table Fullbottles. As a collector, this scene was heaven for him!
"By the way, did that amazing doctor ever try to build a giant robot?" Kane asked expectantly.
Xing blinked. "Arahanto?"
"Yes, but they probably won't let us through."
"Yay!" Whether it can be opened or not is not the issue; Kane is just happy to know that it exists.
Little Te stood on the table and categorized the bottles one by one. "Some have the best match, some don't..."
"So what are you trying to do?" Natasha asked, peeking out from the doorway.
"Ah, I just suddenly felt like checking out what equipment there is. By the way, Kane, do you have any bottles you want? You can stick them on the Beat Closer to unleash your skills." Seeing that her partner had too little equipment, she stepped aside and showed him the table full of bottles.
Kane thought about it seriously for a while, and finally shook his head honestly. "Luming gave me the strongest Dragon Fullbottle, so I can't be too greedy. Besides, I'm not very good at using my brain. I'll just use strength to solve battles that can be solved with strength. The support bottles, chains and tigers, are enough."
"Okay, get ready, let's start our barbecue party!" The two quickly packed away their toys and pulled out a barbecue grill and sauces from under the table.
"Would you two like some beer?" Natasha appeared, carrying a case of beer.
"Minors are prohibited from drinking alcohol, Sister Natasha," the girl politely declined.
"Sister, I'm sorry, I don't drink alcohol," the boy politely declined.
Half an hour later—
Kane, unable to bear the spiciness, gulped down a large mouthful of ice-cold beer. He couldn't stand his partner's strong palate; this was way too spicy. Was it really to the point that humans could handle?
But Sachi and Natasha across from him seemed to be enjoying their food quite a bit, and Kane couldn't help but wonder if he was just too bad.
"So spicy!!!" Ai-chan almost crashed after accidentally eating Sachi's super spicy grilled gluten.
So why do AI need to eat?
Little Te. The newly grown fuzzy Guotie poked its head out of the incubator, crawled to her side, and curiously sniffed at her. The doll expressionlessly grabbed Guotie by the back of its neck with its iron fist and threw it back.
"Is the feed too high in energy? Its growth rate seems a bit fast. Logically speaking, its activity level shouldn't be high at this stage." Little Te patted her little skirt and saved the question.
—Hopefully, the police officers can have an easier time too, and the same badge number won't be used multiple times—
At the St. Freya Academy, Kiana and Theresa lay on the sofa, enjoying the cool shade of the air conditioning, while Mei, Wendy, Fu Hua, and Rita were busy cooking in the kitchen. Bronya and Annie were playing Yugi nearby, and Seele and the Arin Sisters were watching.
"Give up, Anzu. According to the calculations, your chances of beating me are less than one percent."
"Don't underestimate me, Bronya!"
Despite Xing's best efforts, the gap in skill was too great, and she was ultimately defeated easily by the ruthless Bronya.
"Damn it!" The defeated girl pounded the floor in frustration.
Bronya patted her on the shoulder. "It's a deal. The loser has to do the dishes tonight, even though that's your job anyway."
"Next time, I will definitely win!" Xing pushed her hand away and said defiantly.
Bronya said she didn't care, while Kiana looked up at Xing, as if seeing her past self. Sigh, that's hell ahead.
That bastard Bronya never shows her true strength; she always deliberately plays at a level slightly stronger than you. Every time you painstakingly improve your skills and go to fight her, you get defeated by the slightest margin, and then you go back to practicing like crazy... The poor white fluffy ball was trapped in this vicious cycle for a long time before realizing something was wrong.
"I wonder how Xing is doing. If possible, I'd like to apologize to her." Kiana was starting to miss her bratty little sister.
"Little Xing can take care of herself, so there's no need to worry about that." Theresa didn't seem too concerned. "I wonder if she's eating well, if her clothes are clean, if she's made any new friends, if she's injured... Most importantly, although she was originally a boy, Little Xing's body is now that of a girl. What if she encounters a boy..."
How could a mother not care about her child? But isn't the last one a bit redundant?
"Auntie, that shouldn't be possible, right?" Kiana also thought Theresa was worrying unnecessarily.
Mom Hua and the other girls in the room all perked up their ears, except for Xing.
Theresa shook her head, looking worried, and said, "No, Kiana, that's not what I meant. Little Xing's body is a girl's now, so she'll be affected. What if she gets taken advantage of in battle? Also, if she doesn't know anything about women, will she be bullied?"
Bronya and Wendy's faces turned green instantly, the veins on Mom Hua's arms bulged, and Rita's face still wore her ever-present smile, though that smile looked a little creepy.
After hearing this, Kiana silently turned her gaze to Seele, "You can still communicate with Sachi, right? Can you sense Sachi's location?"
Black Seele and White Seele exchanged a glance, one nodding and the other shaking her head.
Two Seele: "..."
White Seele looked at Black Seele, who was grinning mischievously, on the verge of tears. Didn't she promise Sister Xing not to reveal this? You traitor, my other self!
Bronya and Wendy quickly asked, "Where?"
Black Seele replied, "On Earth."
There's no way around it. Once I sell her, I probably won't be able to touch her ears and tail anymore. Even if she's fed a full meal and cuddles me every time, she'll still be able to tell the difference between Black Seele and me.
While everyone was condemning Black Seele, Fu Hua walked to the side and dialed Eden's number. "You should tell me now, where is Little Xing working as an idol?"
"Well, that's a secret for now, but the kid seems to be doing really well. He seems to really enjoy being an idol." Eden's voice sounded languid, with a few meows mixed in.
Fu Hua couldn't help but imagine her daughter wearing such vulgar clothes, singing and dancing on stage, and immediately covered her eyes. Why did she agree to Eden's request in the first place?
Eden on the other side—
Pardo lay obediently on the bed, enjoying Eden's petting. "Meow~ Sister Eden, aren't you going to send Little Xing's picture to Sister Hua?"
"If Hua sees this, she'll go berserk, right?" Eden chuckled and scratched her chin. "But this kid really is talented. However, at her current pace, a year is far from enough to become a world-class idol. That small agency doesn't have the capability."

Inside the largest chemical plant in Changkong City, thick flames shot into the sky. After receiving the alarm, firefighters quickly responded, rushing to the inferno in several Fire Truck.
"Damn it, I haven't even had a few bites and there's already more." The captain cursed as he changed into his firefighting uniform and said to the new recruit, "This fire is quite serious. You, a newbie, are stuck here, understand?"
"Why should I go, Captain? I want to go too!"
The captain glared at him. "I've already said this is serious. Of course, we need experienced people like us to handle this. What if you, a greenhorn, lose your life? Listen to me, this is for your own good."
Orders were hard to disobey, so the new recruits had no choice but to stay and keep watch.
The firefighters responded quickly and arrived at the scene at lightning speed. Before starting the firefighting work, the captain found the person in charge of the chemical plant and asked about the specific situation.
From the person in charge, the captain learned that the fire started in the chemical plant's warehouse, which contained a large amount of nitrocellulose. Upon hearing these three words, the captain felt a chill run down his spine, thinking that things were probably going to be very bad this time. With nitrocellulose, a flammable and explosive chemical, the danger of the firefighting operation would increase dramatically. He didn't know how many of his men would make it back alive. Fortunately, he had left that silly boy behind.
"Headquarters, requesting backup. Brothers, we can't let the fire spread any further! Follow me! Anyone who chickens out today isn't a real man!"
Even knowing the danger, these firefighters rushed forward without hesitation, bravely spraying Water Gun from their hoses at the raging fire.
Because behind them are the people.
The person in charge outside the fire looked at the firefighters rushing in, hesitated to speak, and finally turned and left without looking back.
He lied.
The warehouse not only contained nitrocellulose, but also a large amount of ammonium nitrate that they had illegally stored. If word got out, he would be in deep trouble.
"Let these idiots die, it's none of my business anyway," he, or rather, this creature, thought.
The fire at the scene grew larger and larger, showing no signs of abating. Gradually, some people realized something was wrong, but it was too late.
"This fire... put it out!" The captain, surrounded by flames, glared fiercely at the damned fire, letting out a hoarse roar from his parched throat.
With a deafening roar, a mushroom cloud rose above the fire, and the explosion could be heard even from thousands of miles away.
The girl, who was happily eating in the temporary base, suddenly froze. Her Honkai Vision was activated on its own, a rare occurrence, and tiny red particles drifted past her eyes.
