Paper Can't Wrap Fire

"Shorty???"

Upon seeing her grandniece, Theresa, who had initially intended to give her a warm hug, froze in place after hearing those three words.

Gu Yu, who had been on guard against the three S-rank Valkyries, even noticed that the colors and luster on Theresa's body were gradually fading to a dull gray.

"Um..."

Seeing Theresa's crestfallen expression and feeling like she had done something wrong, Kiana tentatively said with a hint of apology.

"How about... kiddo?"

"Kiana, you disrespectful brat!"

Hit by Kiana's second blow, Theresa instantly became furious and slammed the Oath of Judah onto the ground.

"Judah!"

Then, countless iron chains shot out from Judah, lunging at Kiana like venomous snakes.

"...How did it come to this."

Seeing Theresa completely lose it over a few words, Gu Yu despairingly covered his face and immediately shielded Kiana.

"Henshin..."

After transforming in an instant, Gu Yu raised his right hand and released the tortoise crest, generating a stone barrier.

The rapidly emerging iron chains, upon encountering the barrier, embedded themselves into the stone, and were forcefully stopped by Gu Yu.

Gu Yu had already felt a sense of foreboding when he saw Durandal and Rita earlier.

His condition was extremely poor after the continuous battles. While he could still fight now, his chances of winning against these two powerful enemies were practically abysmal.

In Gu Yu's eyes, Theresa was a potential asset that could be swayed.

If he could get Theresa on their side with Kiana's help, then even if Otto directly ordered Durandal and Rita to seize Kiana, Theresa could hold them off for a while.

But now...

--Damn, it's all over.

"Wh-what are you doing."

Seeing Theresa's volatile attitude, Kiana hid behind Gu Yu and complained intermittently.

"It's just calling you shorty? You're already so short..."

"Kaslana!"

"Tch, got it, Elder Brother Gu."

After Gu Yu interrupted her suicidal remark, Kiana pouted and stopped talking.

"What shorty, I'm your aunt."

Seemingly realizing she had been too hasty, Theresa retracted the chains extending from the Oath of Judah and glared at Kiana, huffing.

"I remember holding you when you were little, you were so cute. Now you've become so disrespectful..."

"That Siegfried fellow really didn't raise you well."

"Smelly old dad?!"

Upon hearing her father's name, Kiana's eyes changed.

During the years Siegfried had been missing, Kiana had been investigating his whereabouts.

And now, this short, petite girl in front of her knew her father's name...

--She had to get her father's whereabouts from this girl.

However, just as this thought flashed through Kiana's mind, Durandal, who had been observing, coughed awkwardly.

"Lord Theresa, the mission, the mission."

"Tch, I know."

Seeing Theresa fall silent, Durandal said to everyone with a serious expression.

"Greetings, everyone. We are Valkyries from the special anti-Honkai organization [Schicksal], the [Blade of Immortality] squad."

"My name is Bianca Durandal Attagina, and I am the captain of the Blade of Immortality squad."

After a brief self-introduction, Durandal scanned everyone and asked sternly.

"Among you, has anyone heard strange sounds or gained special powers starting yesterday?"

"To put it simply, just say you're looking for the Herrscher of Thunder."

[KamenRideBlade (Masked Ride Blade)]

Changing his form, Gu Yu grasped the weapon [Awakened Sword] that appeared in the void.

"I'm just..."

"The person you're looking for should be me."

However, before Gu Yu could finish speaking, Raiden Mei, who had been silent, stepped forward first.

"Raiden?"

Gu Yu turned his head abruptly and saw the extremely complex expression on Raiden Mei's face.

"Gu Yu, I'm very grateful that you saved me and covered up the fact that I'm a Herrscher."

"But I don't think you need to conflict with this lady in front of you for the sake of the Raiden Mei who almost killed you before."

After having that dream in the early morning, Raiden Mei gradually came to believe it was her own memory.

During the period when she lost her memory, she had transformed into a terrifying demon and almost killed the young man in front of her.

After the battle, the young man not only didn't finish her off but chose to pull her back from the brink of death.

Raiden Mei was not someone who didn't know gratitude. How could she watch the young man continue to oppose this seemingly formidable female knight to protect her after knowing this?

"Hmm, that makes things easier."

Durandal said with some relief after confirming that the girl indeed still had the mark detected by the Hyperion.

"Then..."

"Durandal, I have an urgent mission for you."

Just as Durandal was about to speak with the girl, Otto, the Grand Bishop of Schicksal,'s voice came through her communicator.

"Lord Otto?"

Durandal asked with a full of questions after hearing Otto's voice.

"Is there anything more urgent than dealing with a Herrscher?"

"Hmm, the sudden outbreak of the Third Honkai Outbreak in Changkong City this time, I suspect it has something to do with those people from Anti-Entropy. You will now take the Blade of Immortality and sweep through Changkong City to deal with the Honkai Beasts and Meele, and at the same time investigate information related to the Third Honkai Outbreak."

"This..."

"Oh, right. Leave Rita behind and have her handle the follow-up matters concerning this Herrscher."

"Okay, I understand."

After listening to Otto's words, Durandal had no more doubts.

Otto's attitude now was very clear...

-- He wanted to send Durandal away and have Rita do something she didn't want her to see.

She wasn't stupid; she could easily see through something of this level.

However, Durandal did not question Otto's order. Instead, after giving Rita a deep look, she left with the other members of the Blade of Immortality, disappearing from everyone's sight.

After all, for Durandal, this wasn't the first time she had encountered such a situation.

She believed that the Grand Bishop would fight against Honkai, and she also believed that only Rita could handle these matters well.

So, why would she need to doubt the person she trusted?

Then let me explain the reason.

When discussing Honkai Impact 3rd plot points with other friends, I felt a bit awkward while watching the story.

First, there's Theresa. From the side story manga "Anti-Entropy Invasion," she learned certain things from Einstein at that time, which, combined with later plot developments, seem related to clones.

However, from the main story plot, she directly rebelled against Schicksal for Kiana.

Then, in the in-game side story "End of the World," Theresa herself knows that the Kiana who ran out is K423, and the real Kiana was brought back to Schicksal headquarters by Otto.

This is awkward...

Does she know or not?

If she knew long ago, then her attitude towards Kiana later is strange.

If she didn't know... what the hell didn't she know? The plot clearly states it, and there's no plot where Otto uses Void Archive to mimic Ha-Chun to wash memories. The official didn't even mention it, what am I supposed to do [looks at the sky].

Logically speaking, we fanfic writers are all benefiting from the official content. It's only right to give the official scriptwriters some face and not criticize them to death.

But after reading this part of the plot, I really...

Forget it. Anyway, the preceding words were just to express one thing.

I'm going to make some changes.

Without deviating from the general direction, I will make some minor changes to the details.

Otherwise, some characters who are clearly positive characters appear particularly bitchy... That's not good, really not good.
