Hearing this, the girl stubbornly retorted:
"Emergency? Tell me, where are there so many emergencies in this world? Besides, this isn't Africa... The Honkai Beasts in Europe were cleaned up by us a long time ago! And Honkai phenomena only appear once every few years. One just happened recently, so there definitely won't be any problems for a while!"
Hearing that, the other girls all nodded.
