Durandal: A Date? Why Don't We Train Instead! / Ana and Himeko Awaken; Huohuo's Resentment

"Certainly."

Gwen nodded again, firmly.

Bianca, do you like your life now?

"Of course, I live a fulfilling life every day, and I have goals every day. I really enjoy this kind of life."

It would be even better if there were no Honkai.

Although... I haven't thought about what life will be like after defeating the Honkai, I'm certain that only with you and Rita around can that kind of life be beautiful.

"You Lan Dai Er said firmly."

"Then let's walk together for the rest of our lives."

Gwen naturally grasped You Lan Dai Er's slowly lowering hand.

"Um..."

This time, You Lan Dai Er took the initiative to approach her. Although she was still clumsy, it was very much in her style: decisive, direct, and fearless.

Gwen, on the other hand, guided this Dumb Goose with a smile, turning the hardened steel into a gentle touch...

Although the roles seem somewhat reversed, Gwen ultimately succeeded in winning You Lan Dai Er's soft lips.

Chapter 767 You Lan Dai Er: A date? How about we train instead!

After the kiss, You Lan Dai Er's girlish heart, which had been sealed away for nearly ten years, suddenly stirred, and she quickly pushed Gwen out of the house—

She was genuinely afraid that Gwen would continue his conquests.

Although they had already promised to spend their lives together and walk through the years to come, You Lan Dai Er felt that she probably couldn't accept it if it happened that fast.

In reality, Gwen had no intention of rushing to devour the delicious Dumb Goose —he wasn't some lecherous glutton.

Moreover, compared to swallowing it whole, it's obviously more interesting to watch the straightforward and unrestrained You Lan Dai Er gradually reveal her girlish side.

Besides--

A little-known fact is that You Lan Dai Er had a rather arrogant tendency when he was young.

Although he seems to have turned into a straightforward and Dumb Goose who only knows how to be direct, Gwen also very curious whether the tsundere Dumb Goose will make a limited-time comeback after awakening the girlish heart that You Lan Dai Er herself sealed away...

Nothing happened that night. The next morning, Gwen and You Lan Dai Er did their usual morning exercise together. Everything seemed the same as usual, but You Lan Dai Er's occasional glances added a touch of interest to this mundane routine.

"Speaking of which, Bianca, would you like to try dating?"

At the dining table, Gwen watched You Lan Dai Er quickly devour the food without appearing rude, but rather giving off a pleasing impression, and asked with a smile.

"Dating?"

Upon hearing this, You Lan Dai Er froze, her azure eyes revealing great confusion and a slight panic.

"Well, although we seem to have skipped the dating stage and gone straight to being husband and wife, at this age, we still need to experience the sweet and sour taste of love, right?"

Gwen chuckled and teased.

"Love and such..."

You Lan Dai Er scratched his head awkwardly—

She genuinely never imagined that this word would be related to her.

"It seems really complicated... and I've never heard of it before..."

Could you give me a little time to find some books to read and learn more about it?

You Lan Dai Er gave a reply that was very much in line with her personality.

"I don't really understand it either, but the more you look at so-called 'experienced advice' in this kind of thing, the more likely you are to get yourself into confusion."

Instead of listening to what others say, follow your own heart.

A date is simply two people doing something together that makes both of them happy.

"By blindly searching for guides and seeing what others were doing, we ended up doing a lot of things that neither of us were really interested in. Wasn't that a waste of effort?"

Gwen was genuinely afraid that You Lan Dai Er might be influenced by some bad ideas.

"Things that both of them enjoy doing..."

You Lan Dai Er pondered for a moment, then suddenly her eyes lit up and she said—

"In that case, let's go to training after breakfast—"

You'll be my sparring partner—

Based on your description of grace, if I challenge you in various ways, I should be able to grow considerably, right?

"Forehead..."

Gwen was somewhat taken aback, but then couldn't help but laugh.

"Ha ha...

That's really your style of answer...

"Let's eat quickly. After we finish eating, we'll do some energy utilization training before moving on to practical combat training."

"Good!"

You Lan Dai Er readily agreed.

After dinner, the two of them did two hours of energy control training at home as planned.

Gwen attempted to teach You Lan Dai Er the principles of Saint Seiya combat techniques—

Even without Cosmo, you can still try to draw inspiration from it and develop your own skills.

For a hard worker like You Lan Dai Er, this is even more likely to be achieved.

Gwen himself, on the other hand, was trying to understand his own power and explore its depths, such as increasing the power of Absolute Destruction and making the beam he imitated Gaia's even more powerful...

Although it can only be described as a fan-made version, one should still have a heart that yearns for the original.

"Speaking of which, where did Rita go today?"

I saw her message this morning; she said she was going to rest today.

Before setting off, You Lan Dai Er brought up Rita's problem.

"Her..."

Gwen couldn't help but smirk when he heard this question—

"After describing Grace to her yesterday, I spent all my time in the training room, wanting to see if I could improve further with Grace's help, and then level up."

"I see..."

You Lan Dai Er wasn't surprised by what he heard.

"Although Rita seems very calm and doesn't compete or fight, she is actually a very strong-willed person who has been working hard silently."

Now that we have received this favor, perhaps things will be a little easier...

No... it might make things even harder for her.

"Oh...

"Don't even mention Rita, I'm afraid that once you see results, you'll become so addicted to exercise that you won't be able to break free."

Gwen laughed.

"My words..."

Upon hearing this, You Lan Dai Er replied almost without hesitation—

"If hard work will pay off, why not do it?"

Wouldn't that be a waste of all the points and blood you've shed for this?

"That's really... it's getting me all excited..."

Let's go--"

With that, Gwen and You Lan Dai Er submitted their report and left Destiny Headquarters.

Given their combined strength, if they were to fight each other without restraint, it would likely have some impact on headquarters.

In that case, why not find a desert, or simply engage in battle at sea?

Although You Lan Dai Er hasn't mastered flight yet, with the Bright Knight: Excelsis, aerial combat is a required course for her...

Although the recent series of Honkai seemed to be a harbinger of the birth of the final Erosion Herrscher, the Herrscher herself was nowhere to be seen. However, the most influential A-rank selection event has attracted much attention in society.

However, these things had nothing to do with Gwen. He continued his routine daily life, only the objects of his training changed frequently.

"So, the You Lan Dai Er and Rita have been fighting against you these past few days is because of this favor?"

In Gwen's living room, Li Sushang sat cross-legged on the sofa, her hands resting on her lap, looking up at Gwen and asking a question.

"That's one way to put it."

Gwen nodded and asked with a smile—

"Would Su Shang like to give it a try?"

Even at your level, further improvement in swordsmanship depends more on comprehension.

However, improving your basic skills will also make your sword faster and sharper.

"Since Gwen has already told me, why should I not accept it?"

Seeing that Gwen showed no reluctance to teach her, Li Sushang quietly put aside some of her worries, nodded decisively, and a hint of fighting spirit appeared on her pretty face—

"While comparing oneself to others is not something to be encouraged, and I have no intention of competing with either of you, healthy competition is beneficial—"

Is that correct?

Chapter 768 Anna and Himeko's Awakening, Hui Huo's Resentment

Gwen did not directly inform everyone about the Grace and then bestow it upon everyone at once. Instead, he gradually drew people to him through some unusual behavior.

After all, things that are easily obtained are never truly valued; only what is actively sought is truly appreciated.

While the Valkyrie fighting on the front lines will certainly value anything that can improve their strength, it's obviously better to take initiative.

"We still need to keep working hard, Hui Huo..."

Looking at the Wuse Huohuo, who was so exhausted that he couldn't even move a finger and had practically collapsed onto a nearby bench, Gwen thoughtfully fed his teammate an energy drink while chuckling and teasing him.

As a signature heavy firepower user, Wuse Huohuo uses a complete set of floating cannon combat clusters, which puts less strain on her physical strength than the Honkai Energy operation.

Therefore, while Wuse Huohuo's physical attributes weren't bad, they were just barely passing, placing him at the bottom of the team.

Compared to physical fitness training, Wuse Huohuo training focuses on more specialized and professional training.

However, after being granted a blessing by Gwen, which allowed his physical abilities to improve relatively quickly, Wuse Huohuo also began physical training that he was not entirely used to.

However, training with the team was undoubtedly too much of a stretch for Wuse Huohuo, since the target was the renowned training expert You Lan Dai Er from Schicksal.

"..."

Gwyn rolled his eyes at the sarcastic guy, Wuse Huohuo indicating he didn't want to talk. He simply opened his trembling, red lips and let Gwen continue feeding him the milky white drink.

God knows how many thoughts raced through her mind when she heard Gwen say "take off your clothes" a couple of days ago, how much courage it took to make up her mind, and how much she wanted to crawl into a hole after realizing she had been teased.

"Oh..."

Seeing this, Gwen chuckled lightly, not caring at all.

After helping the Wuse Huohuo recover from its minor injuries, the girl began to tidy up her somewhat disheveled long hair.

As a ranged heavy firepower user, Wuse Huohuo doesn't have the problem of having too long hair affecting combat; she has long, smooth black hair that reaches her calves.

However, after strenuous exercise, my once neatly combed hair became messy and damp with sweat, sticking uncomfortably to my skin. I needed to tidy it up before I could rest better.

Right now, the Wuse Huohuo is still exhausted, so Gwen has to take over.

Having regained some strength, the Wuse Huohuo slowly rose, finding a comfortable position to lean against Gwen, occasionally turning its head slightly so that Gwen could tidy its disheveled hair.

"You made that kind of joke a couple of days ago..."

Consider this compensation...

The girl thought to herself, squinting her eyes as she savored the moment of tranquility after her extreme exhaustion.

Just as Gwen was about to finish combing the Wuse Huohuo's wet hair, he noticed a disturbance in the Stigmata Space.
