—To actually brave a [Honkai Domain] knowing absolutely nothing?
Looking at Sakura's expression, Leo immediately understood that she truly knew nothing.
But precisely because of this, his mood became even more complicated.
After all, having swept through enemies all the way here, she really didn't need to know what a [Honkai Domain] was.
At the very least, for a [Honkai Domain] of this level... or rather, a [Honkai Erosion Point], Sakura really didn't need to care.
So... is she already a [D-Rank Valkyrie]? Or even [C-Rank]?
While pondering Sakura's strength, he looked towards the culprit blocking Sakura here.
—An electronic screen.
Hmm?
What the hell is this?
As he approached, the electronic screen seemed to sense him and immediately lit up.
Carefully covering his face and vital areas with his hands, and wary that the other party might pull him inside, he narrowed his eyes to look at the content on the screen.
The result—
"An exam paper?"
"Precisely."
Timely, Sakura spoke up: "My family has been poor since I was young, and I haven't attended much school, so I know absolutely nothing about the knowledge on it."
After speaking, a slight blush appeared on her expressionless face.
"Uh..."
Slightly stunned, the corners of Leo's mouth couldn't help but twitch a few times.
So the difficulty that held Sakura back wasn't some powerful [Zombie], or a mechanism requiring everyone's combined efforts to clear, but just... an exam paper?
Alright, he admitted that an exam paper was indeed a difficulty, but for this thing to appear here was somewhat bizarre.
"Shall I?"
To alleviate the currently slightly awkward atmosphere, and also to make herself appear somewhat useful, MEI volunteered.
However—
"No need."
Shaking his head at MEI, Leo said, "You guys explain the [Honkai Domain] to this young lady. I'll just answer the questions."
Why use an ox cleaver to kill a chicken?
He looked at the first few questions; the difficulty was really average, just ordinary third-year high school exam papers. He could handle it.
In contrast, he thought explaining the [Honkai Domain] to Sakura might be more difficult, so he actively took on the job of answering questions.
And facts proved that his approach was quite prescient.
"So..."
Revealing a thoughtful expression, Sakura swayed her long pink hair and said, "This is a world where one doesn't need to hesitate, just chopping directly is correct."
"Right?"
After speaking, she looked at MEI and Kiana with slight excitement.
×2
Facing Sakura's reply, MEI and Kiana looked at each other with helpless faces.
Then—
"Yes." ×2
Being able to make Sakura understand to this extent was, in their view, already enough.
Only now did they understand Leo's little cleverness... He's really bad!
And at the same time—
"Done."
Seeing the gate open, Leo said, "We can continue forward."
These questions were all very simple... at least in his opinion.
They belonged to the basics of the basics, without any twists or turns.
However, precisely because of this, it tested whether a student's basic skills were comprehensive.
Those who only knew how to grind question types but didn't know the basics of the questions wouldn't be able to pass this level.
Of course, no matter what these exam questions tested, they weren't something Sakura could pass.
"Everyone."
Seeing the gate open, Sakura spoke bluntly: "From here on, would it be fine if I enter to rescue them alone?"
"Of course, I do not look down on you two."
Saying this, her gaze swept across Leo and Kiana's faces before she continued: "But you also have your own targets to protect. Separating here is the best choice."
From Leo and Kiana, she felt an aura of threat.
At the same time, she wasn't sure if Leo's group continuing was a good or bad thing.
Therefore, her best decision now was to persuade them to leave, rather than entering together with them.
However—
"But if you encounter such exam questions again, can you pass them?"
Without any intention of opposing Sakura directly, Leo looked at this future Fox Lady with interest.
—Unexpectedly, she has some schemes.
"Uh..."
Facing Leo's killing blow, the seriousness Sakura had tried hard to establish instantly vanished.
Timely, MEI spoke up.
"Miss Sakura, please rest assured. I was the one who asked these two to rescue the students inside, so we are friends, not enemies."
She naturally saw through what Sakura was worried about at a glance, and immediately followed the other party's guess to solidify their group's identity.
"Alright."
Seeing that the 'employer' in Leo's group had spoken, Sakura said, "Sorry, I shouldn't have doubted you."
"It's just human nature."
Smiling at Sakura, Kiana said, "Miss Sakura, let's spare sometime!"
Regarding this 'old friend' of Raiden Mei, she had only heard of her but never seen her.
But since she was a fierce person capable of fighting Kevin, she naturally wanted to properly experience the other party's intensity.
"Uh... that won't be necessary."
Slightly stunned, Sakura hurriedly refused.
But soon she feared her statement would make Kiana misunderstand, so she hurriedly added: "I... I'm actually very... weak, so there's no need."
Since she was lying, she hurriedly turned her face away, trying hard not to let Kiana see any flaws.
However—
"Is it because your battles are all killing moves, so it's not good to spar?"
Leo saw Sakura's difficulty and smiled. "But please rest assured, Kiana is the most resistant to beatings. As long as you don't use your ultimate move, you probably won't be able to hurt her."
While he was doing the questions earlier, Kiana and MEI had already exchanged names with Sakura, and naturally mentioned him in passing.
"You know me?"
Seeing Leo act as if he knew her very well, Sakura couldn't help but become slightly vigilant.
"I know a bit, tentatively."
Smiling at Sakura, Leo carefully observed her expression.
To be honest, he didn't think Sakura should appear here.
Chronologically speaking, Sakura should still just be a killer right now.
Not until she went to assassinate MEI would she become a member of [Fire Moth] at MEI's invitation.
And in the game's text, Sakura became a moth chasing fire due to a transaction because her homeland collapsed.
But now, he hadn't heard of any place falling due to the Honkai, so he was actually quite curious about Sakura's current identity.
—Is there actually someone hiring a killer to save people?
That was why he needed to use words to probe and fish out Sakura's identity.
"Are you also... No."
First unconsciously thinking towards [Fire Moth], Sakura quickly stopped herself.
"Forget it, no matter where you know me from, I hope what you said before is true."
Understanding that now was not the time for internal strife, she turned and walked into the door Leo had opened.
Past the middle hall was a vast platform. After becoming a [Honkai Domain] here, this platform was obviously expanded several times over. Patrols of [Zombies] were walking on it, and among them, there were many [Claw Zombies].
And in the center of the platform was the Great Hall.
The students were most likely inside.
"Her situation might be different from what we know."
Waiting until Sakura had walked far away and was already killing towards the [Zombies], Leo said, "Theoretically speaking, she should currently just be a killer."
"But her meaning just now... seems to imply she already has an organization behind her."
This world likely had changes he didn't know about.
"Her vigilance is very strong."
MEI tried hard to chase Sakura's back with her gaze, but eventually gave up.
After all, that speed was too fast; with her current eyesight, she couldn't do it at all.
"Don't provoke her. Wait until we have a chance to get familiar, then we can explore her identity."
"Besides, what exactly is her identity?"
Regarding Sakura, she naturally knew nothing.
After all, Leo originally thought they would only have a chance to meet Sakura after joining [Fire Moth].
So at this moment, he naturally wouldn't mention this name.
But now—
"I see."
After listening to Leo's brief explanation and understanding that Sakura was a killer who would come to assassinate her in the future, MEI's expression couldn't help but be somewhat subtle.
But through the brief conversation just now, she understood that Sakura was a good person with no bad intentions.
In the end, the other party was just forced by life. That was why the 'future' self decided to absorb the other party into [Fire Moth] and let Sakura become a companion.
"I definitely won't probe again later."
Looking at Sakura's terrifying combat power, Leo said, "After all, I have an even simpler method."
"Hmm?"
"Everything she does is for that sister of hers, so as long as we grasp her sister, she can only submit."
"Aren't you provoking her even more like this?"
"Relax."
The corners of his mouth hooked into a pleased smile, and Leo said, "I'm not some nightmare. I just want to become friends with her sister."
Since Sakura appeared here, then the future [Herrscher of Corruption] · Higokumaru, the current Rin, must also be in [Nagazora City].
Although finding a person in a city was like looking for a needle in a haystack, Rin was the future [Herrscher of Corruption]. Even if no abnormalities could be monitored on her body now, there must be something strange about her—at the very least, a constitution suitable for becoming a [Herrscher].
With Kiana's perception, she would inevitably be able to discover the anomaly.
It's just that later... Kiana will have to suffer a bit.
"Hmm?"
Seeing Leo cast his gaze on her, Kiana was first stunned, then couldn't help but ask directly: "You want me to find her sister?"
"Smart."
Patting Kiana on the shoulder, Leo said, "Whether we can pull Sakura into the group depends on you."
"Uh..."
Although she felt her actions were a bit strange, Kiana also knew the cruel future of Sakura and Rin, so she could only nod and say, "I will do my best."
"Also—"
Saying that, she pointed at Sakura who was slaughtering [Zombies] and said, "If we don't act, she's going to clear the level."
Just as she said, even though they only spoke a few sentences, the [Zombies] on the platform had already been attracted by Sakura's actions and were all surrounding her.
But before absolute strength, these [Zombies] couldn't even hinder Sakura's movements.
If not for the platform being expanded several times, given Sakura's speed, she would have killed her way to the entrance of the Great Hall long ago.
"Let's act."
They couldn't leave all the dirty work to Sakura. After Leo exchanged a glance with Kiana, he also joined the battle.
[Purple thunder] unsheathed, a golden phantom appeared. With the addition of these two forces, by the time MEI hurriedly walked to the entrance of the Great Hall, Leo and the other two had just finished killing.
[Imaginary Energy +10274]
Another ten thousand points of [Imaginary Energy] credited!
"You do it this time."
Facing the exam questions at the entrance of the Great Hall, Leo let MEI do the questions.
Of course, it wasn't that he couldn't do them, but that he prepared to get close to Sakura.
"Speaking of which..."
Looking at Sakura, Leo smiled: "Didn't you take the opportunity of this mission to try enrolling in school?"
"Just like me and her."
Pointing at Kiana, he said, "Also entering the school to learn some knowledge in passing."
"As the saying goes, learn Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry well, and you can walk anywhere under the heavens without fear. If you don't learn at all, you'll suffer a big loss in the future."
"Uh..."
Originally wanting to keep a distance from Leo, once Sakura thought of how she was stumped by the previous exam questions, it was hard to keep her expression taut.
"What you say is true, but I have other things to do, so I cannot enroll."
Mainly, while protecting the employer's safety, she also had to take care of her sister.
If she were made to sit in a classroom, unable to run between both sides, it would be harder to bear than killing her.
"Is that so?"
Hearing this, Leo was even more certain that Rin was by Sakura's side.
"Then do you need a tutor?"
"Tentatively, my academic grades are quite good."
Using a joking tone, he began to recommend himself.
In fact, he didn't expect this matter to succeed.
However—
"This..."
Sakura hesitated!
Of course, she hesitated not for herself, but for Rin.
Rin had told her before that she was advancing to a higher school recently, so her studies were a bit struggling lately.
And Leo's appearance doing the questions just now was also seen by her; he began answering almost without any thinking process. Presumably, he must be a top student.
Therefore—
"How much money?"
"Hmm?"
Never expecting Sakura to agree, Leo was stunned.
But he reacted quickly. Without waiting for Sakura to speak, he continued, "Talking about money is vulgar. You just spar with her."
"?"
Hearing Leo's request, Sakura couldn't help but be stunned.
"But..."
"You saw her fighting just now, right?"
Understanding Sakura's worry, Leo spoke up: "That layer of golden phantom on her has a very strong protection and recovery effect, so you don't need to worry for her."
"Uh... alright."
Recalling Kiana's battle situation just now, she indeed ignored many [Zombie] attacks, and it even restored quite a bit of her stamina.
—If that's the case, we can indeed spar a bit.
Thinking this, she was also a little excited.
Although she wasn't some martial arts fanatic, if there was a chance to become stronger, she naturally wouldn't want to let it pass.
After all, only if she became stronger could she protect her sister well.
"Alright!"
Hearing that Sakura was willing to spar with her, Kiana couldn't help but be a bit excited too.
After all, Leo had stats when stats were needed, and mechanics when mechanics were needed. Fighting with this guy was pointless; she felt deeply bored.
But she saw Sakura's fighting style just now. It was somewhat similar to Raiden Mei, which made her even happier.
"What about you?"
Glancing at the excited Kiana, Sakura looked at Leo again.
"I'll pass."
Knowing his own limitations, Leo knew his skills were still far off, so he naturally didn't want to make a fool of himself.
However—
"You join too. However, I won't fight you; I will only conduct the most basic kendo training with you."
Sakura had also watched Leo's battle and understood where the opponent's weaknesses lay.
And unlike Raiden Mei, her kendo was not only strong but followed the practical combat school, making it more suitable for guiding Leo.
But saying 'guide' outright felt inappropriate to her, so she came up with this awkward method.
"That works perfectly."
Not exposing Sakura's thoughts, Leo naturally had a better impression of the other party.
—It wasn't in vain that I wanted to save you sisters.
Although even if Sakura didn't do this, he would definitely still act.
But Sakura actively showing goodwill naturally warmed his heart even more.
"This is my contact information."
Seeing matters were settled, Sakura actively gave out her contact information.
"Okay."
Exchanging contact information with Sakura, Leo said, "I'll count on you when the time comes."
He understood that compared to the basic knowledge he taught, Sakura's kendo knowledge was definitely more valuable.
It's just—
"No."
Shaking her head at Leo, Sakura spoke bluntly: "It is I who must count on you."
In her view, her sister was greater than the heavens, much more important than her skills which existed only for killing.
And just as they were cultivating their feelings—
"Opened."
Similarly without much effort, MEI opened the door to the Great Hall.
However, based on her exchange with Leo, she understood the questions on this Great Hall were indeed much harder.
If the previous exam questions were testing the student's basic skills, then the current questions were approaching the College Entrance Exam.
There were definitely even harder questions waiting for them ahead!
Precisely because of this, MEI finally had confidence in her entry; she was no longer a burden.
"How do we search this?"
Looking at the rooms inside the Great Hall, Sakura turned back to look at Leo.
At this moment, there were no enshrined statues inside the Great Hall, but a corridor with no end in sight, with rooms on both the left and right sides.
"Let's look one by one first."
Regarding this, Leo also had a big headache.
Saying that, he opened the leftmost room. Immediately, he saw a dim room.
"Why did you come in without knocking?"
The person inside complained indiscriminately, followed by a powerful wave of resentment.
Driven by the resentment, even Leo's numerical values couldn't stop the door from closing.
Thus—
"It seems we can only look at the deepest part first."
Revealing a thoughtful expression, Leo somewhat understood how to do his mission.
Although solving rooms one by one was also a way to fulfill cherished desires, doing so would inevitably consume too much time.
So there was another method, which was to strike straight at the dragon's lair and resolve the deepest resentment of this [Honkai Erosion Point].
Admittedly, doing so was equivalent to fighting the Variant Arbiter directly without fighting the small mobs to challenge the BOSS.
But the current group of Leo also had an extra combat power. Presumably with Sakura here, even if the BOSS was strong, it wasn't completely unsolvable.
At most, if it really didn't work, they would retreat back to resolve the cherished desires of some easier-to-solve rooms.
Anyway, they still had chances for [Resurrection]. As for Sakura, given her speed, wanting to escape wouldn't be a difficult task.
In short... the advantage is mine!
After making the decision, the group walked down that endless corridor.
Finally, they saw an... exam hall?
Seeing this, Leo's expression couldn't help but become solemn.
After all, once mechanisms were involved, it wasn't something strength could solve... unless one had super strength!
"Kiana, Sakura, you two don't go in."
Before Leo could speak, MEI actively said, "This stage will be completed by the two of us."
She acknowledged Leo's learning ability, but as for Kiana and Sakura, forget it.
"Mhm."
Leo naturally agreed with MEI's decision.
However—
"Did we come in anyway?"
After Leo and MEI walked into the exam hall, Kiana and Sakura also appeared inside the exam hall.
"It seems this place treats us as a single unit..."
Eyes rolling, Leo pondered: "Or perhaps, students coming out of that room must pass this exam... to leave?"
Thinking in a good direction, he could only think of this much.
But as for what exactly was going on, he would have to wait until he finished the exam to understand.
Only—
"Then what do we do?"
Facing the exam, Kiana couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
After all, although she was smart, she didn't love studying.
Therefore, making her take an exam now, she could only rely on guessing.
"You guys just pretend to answer questions casually first."
Since he didn't know if there would be strange punishments for doing poorly, Leo spoke bluntly: "We'll give you support depending on the situation."
Of course—
[Leo: Kiana, I will tell you the answers through thought.]
Possessing the cheating god-skill [Mind Unification], at least Kiana wouldn't have any problems. Now it was just seeing how to pass the answers to Sakura.
[MEI: But you guys be careful, cheating might attract punishment.]
Any maiden who had formed a [Bond] with Leo could converse within this ability; it had somewhat the meaning of a chat group.
[Kiana: Not a big problem. After all, it's just cheating. The biggest punishment is nothing more than stripping the qualification to take the exam.]
[Leo: But what if it's the College Entrance Exam? That faces criminal punishment at the highest.]
[Kiana: Uh...]
[MEI: Hope that with Sakura's speed, there won't be a problem.]
[Kiana: I'll do my best.]
It was just a pity that Leo hadn't had the chance to form a [Bond] with Sakura yet; otherwise, things wouldn't be this difficult.
But Sakura's 'Wall of Heart' was very thick. Perhaps he had to wait until he contacted Rin for this matter to have a turning point.
Anyway, now... do the questions!
Revealing a serious expression, he picked up the pen provided by the exam hall and began answering without hesitation.
At the start, there were no problems, until... his hand moved too fast and wrote a question wrong.
Before he could correct it, a [Sakura Guard] appeared in front of him.
—So there's actually this kind of solution?
After easily resolving this [Sakura Guard], he found himself back in the exam hall, as if everything before was just an hallucination.
In addition, the place where he originally wrote incorrectly was now modified to the correct answer.
So—
Glancing at the 'distracted' Kiana and Sakura, he couldn't help but relax.
[Leo: No need to worry for them. There's a mechanic that lets them pass.]
Immediately, he told MEI about his encounter just now.
Then—
[MEI: Heh! So you can actually answer wrong? It seems your learning is just so-so.]
[Leo: ...]
Although he really wanted to retort, he really was powerless to retort.
After all, discussing studies, he was indeed considered good among ordinary people.
But compared to a genius like MEI, he naturally paled in significance.
Therefore, facing the slightly triumphant look MEI cast at him in her spare time, he temporarily couldn't give a counterattack.
Wait until tonight!
Eventually—
"All passed."
Without accident, Leo and his group of four all passed the exam stage.
It was just that Kiana and Sakura appeared very exhausted.
But tentatively, they didn't cheat, but passed this stage relying on their own strength... literally.
Only, perhaps this stage itself didn't expect that there would be people able to pass in such a way.
After all, in the final analysis, the original purpose of doing this was to make students who got questions wrong even more fearful and weak, thereby never passing this stage.
However, under Kiana and Sakura's violence, this kind of level instead lost its meaning.
And after clearing the exam hall, they arrived at a—
"Hotel?"
Facing the current location, Leo's expression couldn't help but become complex.
At the same time, on the door, there was a neon sign of [0/10].
—A room you can't leave without doing [Beep]!?
Honestly, he had considered that the students' cherished desires might go down the 'lower path', but he hadn't expected that just after finishing exams, they would want to release so much... truly too repressed!
"This..."
Although she didn't understand the current situation through the scene, Sakura's brain quickly received what this room was for, and her pretty face couldn't help but turn red.
At the same time, Leo and the others received it too.
Fortunately—
"Don't worry."
Seeing Sakura's vigilance towards Leo, MEI spoke up: "He and I will solve this matter."
After speaking, she held Leo's hand.
"Hmm?"
Seeing the 'employer' actually choose Leo so directly, Sakura couldn't help but widen her eyes.
—Does the employer further up not object?
To be honest, she couldn't quite understand.
But having someone pass this stage for her, she naturally breathed a sigh of relief.
Honestly, she had even considered whether to violently break this room just now.
But obviously, just like she couldn't break through the middle hall earlier, the space here wasn't something her current blade could cut open.
—After going back, I must strengthen my training too!
And just as she was thinking this, Kiana's voice popped out very abruptly.
"What about me?"
Stretching out her hand, she pointed at herself.
Mainly, she was a bit worried... could he withstand it... this... was ten times!
However—
"You still need to reserve combat power."
Understanding that the road ahead was very difficult, MEI was more worried about lacking Kiana as a combat force.
As for Leo... this beast wasn't her turn to worry about!
"Is that so?"
Hearing this, Kiana was then relieved.
Only—
"Y-You guys..."
Widening her eyes, Sakura looked at these three in disbelief... Why can your relationships be so complicated?
"Yes."
Seeing Sakura couldn't ask further, Leo actively spoke up: "I am lovers with both of them."
After speaking, he left Kiana on the spot and pulled MEI into the bathroom.
Of course, for the bathroom of this kind of hotel, everyone who knew understood; being able to use frosted glass to enclose the bathroom was already quite not easy.
Some were even directly transparent glass, allowing one to see every corner of the bathroom directly.
Of course, the current room at least used frosted glass.
But that blurred outline instead made it easier for people's imaginations to run wild.
It was just that the current Sakura had no time to pay attention to these.
Gaze locking onto Kiana's face, she looked at the other party with a puzzled face.
"This kind of thing... you can tolerate?"
Gossip could be said to be the underlying code of women; even she couldn't be exempt.
And Kiana, who was left behind, was naturally full of heat on her face.
Only until now did she feel incredibly bashful, but she couldn't possibly rush into the bathroom to find someone to swap, so she could only hug her right arm joint with her left hand, turn her blushing pretty face sideways, and say softly: "T-There were a lot of things that happened in between... so, so that's why... it's like this..."
To be honest, she never thought she would have such a feminine moment.
But facing Sakura's puzzled gaze, she simply couldn't toughen up.
Now, she only hoped Leo could finish the business over there as soon as possible.
...
Inside the bathroom.
"It really is... bizarre."
To be honest, Leo never dreamed he would have this kind of treatment in an [Instance].
But... if they didn't do it, they couldn't get out!
So, he could only force himself to accept the difficulty.
"Hmph!"
Snorting coldly, MEI couldn't help but roll her eyes at this guy who got a bargain and still acted like a good boy.
"Go to the [blade space]."
She didn't want to go out without clean clothes later, and it was also because Raiden Mei was sharing the burden for her that she dared to face Leo 'alone'.
"Alrighty~"
Since Kiana and Sakura were guarding outside, Leo naturally dared to 'distract himself' and enter the [blade space].
However, before this, he first padded the bathtub with the bathrobes and towels in the bathroom, and then he lay down, followed by MEI.
"Hope it counts in the [blade space] too."
After saying this last sentence, his and MEI's consciousness sank into the [blade space].
And Raiden Mei, who understood the situation outside, also had an exceptionally complicated mood...
My space really turned into a [Beep] room!
But there was no helping it; they were doing this to pass the level.
What the shy her couldn't accept was that there was an outsider in the room, and it was Sakura!
Although this Sakura shouldn't have any relation to her soul awakening, she also knew the other party.
In other words, although Sakura was an 'outsider', she was also an 'acquaintance'.
This relationship... no... felt even more... stimulating!
Therefore—
"You bad guy..."
Seeing MEI was already gone, Raiden Mei spoke before Leo made a move on her: "You must capture Sakura!"
Otherwise, she would have no face to see Sakura!
Although she also understood that even if she didn't say this sentence, Leo would do so.
But the current her, after all, needed some kind of promise to convince herself to let Leo ravage her.
"No problem~"
Similarly understanding Raiden Mei's thoughts, Leo naturally agreed to this request that wasn't really a request.
Immediately—
"Mei, your 'Warrior's Shudder' today is shaking much more than before~"
Asking while knowing the answer, he naturally understood Raiden Mei was like this because of Sakura outside.
But this kind of thing had to be pointed out so he could experience Raiden Mei's even more intense 'Warrior's Shudder'.
—[Purple thunder], summoned!
Through the frosted glass, Sakura only saw MEI and Leo lie into the bathtub, and then she didn't hear any sound.
However, the (0/10) on the door increased by 1 every passing period, letting her understand that the two in the bathroom weren't doing nothing.
Sure enough... babies are delivered by storks!
Unlearned and incompetent, she thought with a slightly blushing pretty face.
The current her determined that as long as they kissed for a certain time, this matter would be considered done.
And just as Sakura was letting her imagination run wild, Kiana here also breathed a sigh of relief.
Otherwise, being stared at by Sakura all the time, she felt she would collapse from shame.
But today was quite fast.
Looking at the skyrocketing numbers on the door, she understood Leo was also getting serious, not playing with them like usual, but seriously wanting to pass this level as soon as possible.
Finally—
"Done."
Carrying the unconscious MEI out of the bathroom in a princess carry, Leo smiled at Kiana and Sakura.
Only facing his smile, Sakura immediately turned her head, daring not to make eye contact with him at all.
"Let's continue."
Unable to stand the current awkward atmosphere, Kiana hurriedly pushed open the door; she wanted to quickly enter the next level.
Immediately, under her lead, everyone in the room walked out of the room and entered a new scene.
"This is..."
Looking at the scene before his eyes, Leo, holding MEI, revealed a solemn expression.
At this moment, they appeared in the Main Hall of the shrine.
In the Main Hall, an extraordinarily beautiful Demon Fox was enshrined.
—Sure enough, is it also related to the future Yae?
Seeing this, Leo immediately determined his enemy.
It was just that he couldn't figure out how this Demon Fox was related to the third-year students in the [Honkai Domain]. Could it just be because of the simple New Year's Hatsumode?
—He didn't believe it!
So now, he only hoped a diary would drop at the end, letting him take a good look at what exactly was going on!
And at the same time—
"This is... what?"
Looking at the Demon Fox in the Main Hall, Sakura revealed a hesitant look.
Because vaguely, she felt the other party was very familiar.
But she couldn't say exactly where it was familiar; she only felt her heart had some phantom pain.
"Don't think about so much for now."
Timely, Kiana spoke up: "It moved, let's be careful!"
Feeling the terrifying [Honkai energy] radiating from the fox statue, she revealed an incomparably serious expression.
—This is the strongest opponent she has to face after awakening!
Aside from those few terrifying monster boss auras earlier, this fox was the strongest.
"To think there are actually people able to walk here; it truly isn't easy."
Suddenly, the fox spoke.
"Immersed in the sweet dream I wove for you, isn't it good?"
