Although she wielded a greatsword, Himeko's attack precisely struck the tongue of the Lizard Honkai Beast as it shot toward her.
The sharp Corona Greatsword split the incoming tongue cleanly down the middle.
The pain of its injured tongue made the Lizard Honkai Beast writhe in agony.
Purple-red Honkai Beast blood sprayed from the severed tongue onto Himeko's Valkyrie armor, changing the already dark-red armor to yet another color.
But Himeko did not stop there. After splitting the tongue in half, she turned her greatsword sideways and swung it, completely cutting off the front portion of the tongue.
The severed tip of the tongue fell onto the deck behind Himeko.
The remaining tongue recoiled.
Himeko had now completely drawn the Lizard Honkai Beast's hatred.

The Lizard Honkai Beast roared furiously at Himeko. Animal carcass remnants still hung from the fangs that looked nothing like a lizard's.
That was seriously disgusting.
Himeko wrinkled her nose as she caught the fishy stench of the blood that had just splashed onto her.
Using its tongue to attack right from the start... What a disgusting monster. A giant lizard like that was truly revolting.
Himeko said with distaste, "If it looked better, I might forgive the tongue attacks."
"Major Himeko." In the ship's cockpit, Zi had tossed aside the glasses hanging from her face and kicked off her shoes before sitting in the manual pilot's seat. She said to Himeko, "This is a life-or-death situation. Please rein in those terrifying fantasies you have when you're desperate."
"Hmph! This isn't date time! I don't have any desperate fantasies!" Himeko snorted, then said, "Zi! Lock every cannon onto that giant lizard! Suppress it for me!"
"Yes."
At Himeko's command, Zi's fingers danced over the console like those of a master pianist, adjusting the ship's artillery
