• Zhao Bai went to Rosaliya and Liliya’s room to tell them about the mission scheduled for the next morning.
• Liliya repeatedly fell asleep while Zhao Bai explained that he would take them into the forest to kill Honkai Beasts.
• Rosaliya teased Liliya for drooling, and Liliya woke with a start and denied it.

• Zhao Bai decided not to tell the girls that their target was an uninhabited forest.

Zhao Bai took Rosaliya and Liliya on a motorcycle flight across the sea, passing a busy city before reaching the suburbs. Rosaliya's excitement faded when she realized their mission was not taking place in a crowded metropolis, and Liliya woke to find her crying.

• Zhao Bai led Rosaliya and Liliya downstairs and took them aboard his motorcycle, with Liliya in the sidecar and Rosaliya standing on the back seat.

• Zhao Bai brought them from the city to the suburbs, leaving Rosaliya confused and upset about the mission location.
• Liliya woke up and asked Rosaliya why she was crying.

• Zhao Bai parked by the forest entrance, walked to the ranger's cabin, and knocked while announcing they had come to deal with the anomalous creature.

Zhao Bai and the twins found only corpses in the cabin before Cocolia arrived by helicopter. She delivered two heavy weapons for Rosaliya and Liliya, leaving Zhao Bai to realize that this was the favor she had mentioned.

• Zhao Bai found pale, shriveled corpses in the cabin, and Rosaliya and Liliya were startled by them.

• Cocolia dropped a black case, and Zhao Bai had Rosaliya and Liliya verify their palm prints to open it.

Zhao Bai deduced that two kinds of flying Honkai Beasts had attacked the settlement and decided to use the twins to lure them out. He led the silent group upstream along a stream through the forest.

• Zhao Bai noticed that Liliya and Rosaliya were swinging their greatswords wildly, and Rosaliya complained that he favored Liliya.
• Zhao Bai inferred that a tiny Honkai Beast had slipped through the undamaged door, while enormous footprints pointed to a second, larger beast.
• Zhao Bai concluded that the two Honkai Beasts likely lived in a mutually beneficial symbiosis and identified the smaller ones as a cluster of assault-class beasts.
• Zhao Bai planned to use the twins’ Emperor-class Honkai Beast genes to summon the creatures, then led them upstream along a stream.

Zhao Bai took Liliya and Rosaliya to a canyon and encouraged Rosaliya to perform, but her singing awakened the Honkai Beasts and triggered a mass migration. The Honkai Beasts responded to her as their emperor.

• Zhao Bai found a U-shaped canyon and asked the twins to hold a concert for him.
• Liliya let Zhao Bai pretend to be Rosaliya’s fan to cheer her sister up.

• Liliya cut down three Honkai Beasts in the second wave with a single rapid attack.
• Liliya leaped into the third wave and split a Honkai Beast in two with a powerful two-handed strike.

Zhao Bai stepped in to face the Honkai Emperor after Liliya cleared the lesser Honkai Beasts. As the Emperor attacked, he prepared a powerful iaido slash.

• Liliya and Rosaliya fought through the Honkai Beasts until only a Honkai Emperor remained.
• Zhao Bai applauded, drew an ice-blue tachi, and told Liliya he would handle the Emperor.
• Liliya prepared to strike the Emperor with an iaido slash.
• The Honkai Emperor spread rings of flying blades as Zhao Bai unleashed a snow-bright slash of light.

Zhao Bai used his Dimensional Slash to destroy an Emperor-class Honkai Beast and create snow effects for Rosaliya’s concert, while secretly protecting himself from her singing with noise-canceling earphones. After the concert, Rosaliya noticed the sudden cold and asked about the strange rocks around the stage.

• Rosaliya asked why it was cold and what the pale and blue chunks around the stage were.

After the concert, Rosaliya held a handshake session and let Zhao Bai stroke her tail, then asked him to keep it a secret. The sisters returned to St. Freya with Zhao Bai to report the mission to Theresa, leaving Zhao Bai to expect the tail-touching secret to spread around school.

• After the concert, Rosaliya offered fans a chance to touch her tail in exchange for a non-alcoholic cocktail next time.
• Zhao Bai stroked Rosaliya's tail, and Rosaliya asked him and Liliya to keep the moment secret.
• Zhao Bai took photos with the sisters and brought Rosaliya and Liliya back to St. Freya to report to Principal Theresa.

• After the sisters left, Zhao Bai sighed that the whole school would soon hear about it, though he expected everyone to touch tails in a few days.

Zhao Bai explained Rosaliya’s monster-luring concert mission to Theresa, who arranged for the Cleanup Crew to handle the aftermath in cold-weather gear. Fu Hua then left Xuanyuan Sword in Zhao Bai’s care before departing for a mission in Singapore.

• Zhao Bai told Theresa that Rosaliya’s concert had been a mission to lure and kill monsters, not simply a performance.
• Theresa contacted the Cleanup Crew and instructed them to prepare for the cold.
• Zhao Bai encountered Fu Hua, who handed Xuanyuan Sword to him because she was leaving for a mission in Singapore.
• Xuanyuan Sword waved goodbye to Fu Hua, leaving Zhao Bai nervous as he took charge of the baby.

• Bronya asked Zhao Bai about Rosaliya and Liliya's time in the woods, then wondered whether their mother worried about them fighting with Swan Lake and Sleeping Beauty.
• Liliya crashed through the wall and explained that Rosaliya had lost control after children called her Auntie before she had even turned fifteen.
• Zhao Bai went next door and restrained Rosaliya until she calmed down.
• Fu Hua received an order to take Kiana to Singapore and search for a gemstone, though she instinctively opposed the mission.

• Zhao Bai cooked with the Heavenly Fire Judgment while the Xuanyuan Sword watched.
• Fu Hua visited Zhao Bai and said she had to take Kiana to Singapore on headquarters’ orders, but her martial artist’s premonition warned her something dangerous would happen.
