Fu Hua, carrying a bag of fruit, stood in front of the apartment with Wendy, who was holding two complete sets of "53" (a popular set of practice exams for college entrance exam takers).
"There are still some tiny remnants of Honkai energy here."
"Class monitor, you can sense that too?" Wendy asked with an expression of admiration.
"Hmm... I guess you could call it experience."
Fu Hua nodded. "However, it's not widely available."
"That just proves how amazing you are, class monitor!"
Although there seems to be a generation gap, Wendy's admiration for Fu Hua is genuine.
Fu Hua remained calm and composed in the face of this.
However, Wendy then looked at the apartment building and faced a dilemma: "Should we knock on each door one by one?"
"No need, I'll go over there and make a phone call."
Cecilia sent me here, so of course I have to call Cecilia.
However, in order to maintain her student identity, Fu Hua could only make phone calls in secluded places, otherwise, it would be awkward for a student to speak to the headmaster in a peerly tone...
It's strange, isn't it?
Although Fu Hua also felt guilty about pretending to be young.
About ten minutes after the call ended, the door to the second-floor room opened, and a handsome young man came out—though he looked somewhat disheveled.
“Ms. Cecilia told me, good afternoon, both of you. My name is Liu Bai, and I am Kiana’s temporary guardian.”
Liu Bai came downstairs.
God knows why Gui Naifen and Liu Ying, these two "best friends," would break up over something as trivial as whether or not to wash a quilt.
Because it was really... too small, Liu Bai had been trying to smooth things over.
Of course, another reason is that these two only talked about the blankets and nothing else...
Liu Bai couldn't even change the subject.
Fortunately, Cecilia's phone call gave Liu Bai an excuse to stop them. He successfully stopped them by saying that he had things to do and that they shouldn't cause trouble at home.
—Then, Fox Palace commented that "it should have been long ago that he should have displayed this kind of authority as the head of the family."
A fox who talks without understanding the pain...
However, Liu Bai was quite surprised that Cecilia would send someone directly over—although it was reasonable.
But Fu Hua was truly unexpected.
And... Wendy, whose leg is fine.
"Hello, I am Fu Hua, an A-rank Valkyrie from the Far East Branch. This is Wendy, an A-rank Valkyrie."
Fu Hua adjusted his glasses and introduced himself to Liu Bai in a serious and formal manner.
“You… um… did we disturb you? You look a little disheveled.”
Perhaps it was because Liu Bai was too handsome? Fu Hua felt a little uncomfortable.
"No, in fact, I would say I was a great help." Bai breathed a sigh of relief. "But it's nothing important, let's get straight to the point."
"Pfft..."
Wendy found the older brother's words quite interesting.
One minute it's "a huge help," the next it's "no big deal."
"Ah, I'm so sorry, Mr. Liu Bai!"
"It's okay... um, although I didn't understand the joke."
“…I don’t understand either,” Fu Hua echoed from the side.
"..."
I wasn't blamed for being rude, but it seems I was treated like a "weirdo with a strange sense of humor."
"Um... I just suddenly remembered something interesting."
“The old jokes are attacking me.” Bai waved his hand, indicating that Wendy didn’t need to say anything. “Come with me, this is Kiana’s room.”
Liu Bai used the spare key to open Kiana's door.
Upon entering the house and walking into the living room, Liu Bai saw a half-full bag of potato chips on the coffee table, with the bag open and folded down by the body of the bag.
The cushions on the sofa were also askew.
However... it was unexpectedly clean?
"...Is this really Kiana's room?" Wendy voiced Liu Bai's thoughts.
He also felt that Kiana's room should be a bit messier.
"The kitchen is so clean it looks like it's never been used—maybe it really hasn't been used at all," Fu Hua commented on the kitchen, then walked to Kiana's bedroom—yes, Kiana left her bedroom door open when she left.
"The bedroom smelled strongly of snacks, the trash hadn't been taken out, and the blankets weren't folded."
“That’s more like it…” Wendy looked relieved. “But even so, Kiana has already made great progress.”
Fu Hua neither confirmed nor denied this statement.
Progress? Maybe.
"By the way, Mr. Liu Bai, it's a pleasure to meet you. I hope you'll take good care of me in the future." Fu Hua handed the fruit to Liu Bai.
Wendy had distracted her earlier, making her forget about it.
"Thank you for your trouble, Miss Fu Hua."
Liu Bai was actually a little curious whether Fu Hua was the student Fu Hua or the immortal Fu Hua.
...Of course, Black Tiger Afu is also an option.
"There's another bedroom here. Miss Fu Hua, are you planning to stay here?"
Seeing Fu Hua's reaction, Liu Bai knew that Kiana was in for a rough time.
Especially the bag of workbooks Wendy was carrying.
I have a feeling... there's a familiar sense of dread about me.
Is it a secret weapon disguised as an exercise book?
Chapter 129 What a contrast!
Fu Hua was in Kiana's room, while Wendy was arranged by Liu Bai to stay in Gui Naifen's old room—anyway, Gui Naifen didn't come out to live anymore.
Almost everything in the house has been moved out.
After helping the two people in the group finish arranging their move, and after chatting about the other two things that had caused trouble, Natasha and the others also went off work.
It was earlier than usual, probably to accommodate Eden, an "outsider".
"We have new guests."
Natasha sighed as she watched Fu Hua come out to greet her.
She increasingly felt that the nature of her apartment was changing—especially since she had only ever collected rent from Eden so far, which, from a landlord's perspective, was nothing short of charity for Natasha.
Well, Eden won't have to collect rent anymore, since she got involved in dangerous things because she lived here, and Natasha can't very well keep collecting rent from her.
"Hello, Miss Raven."
"Ah, okay." Natasha's lack of interest made Fu Hua choke for a moment. "I know about your situation. Stay here. If you need anything, just let me know."
"..."
Is this person simply lazy, or is he/she unpopular?
"Eden, how are you today?"
Compared to the situation where Natasha and Fu Hua were in a state where one didn't want to chat and the other didn't know how to chat, Liu Bai and Eden's conversation went much more smoothly.
“Everything is fine, I’ve decided to join.” Dian said with a smile, “According to Dr. Mebius’s test results, my adaptability to Honkai is quite excellent, and my physical fitness is also up to standard.”
"Not surprisingly."
Liu Bai moved her arm; if she hadn't eaten a few bites of food at noon, her arm would probably still be hurting.
"So you're going to start combat training now?"
“The doctor told me to come and ask you,” Dian said, smoothing his hair. “He said that no one else has time to teach me.”
"Hmm?" Bai turned to look at Natasha.
Does this person look like they don't have time?
"Do I look like someone who could be her teacher?" Natasha was very unhappy with Liu Bai's gaze.
Don't act like you're a lazybones. Although her own children call her "teacher," she only teaches them common sense about life.
If we're talking about a combat instructor, the best place to go is Grey Serpent—but Grey Serpent is currently focused on finding the Herrscher of Domination and doesn't have the time to teach Eden.
"...That's true, an agile type can't teach a strength type."
To be honest, if we're talking about a power-type character, Liu Bai actually has someone in mind.
Mikoto Chiyo, although she's a tank, she's definitely a power-type warrior.
Eden hesitated, wanting to say that although she was a little strong, she was still a lady.
If possible, please equip her with a gun or some other ranged weapon so she can shoot around on the edge.
"...I'm sorry, Mr. Agent, I'm really sorry about what happened this morning."
"Huh? Why are you suddenly bringing this up?"
"Isn't this revenge?" Dian raised an eyebrow. "Do you really think I can kill a Honkai monster with one punch?"
"……if not?"
"..."
If I had that skill, I'd beat you to a pulp right now...
In short, it seems Liu Bai is serious.
"...Can't I take something, uh, a gun or something?"
"A portable Gatling gun?"
"..."
Eden envisioned a tough, heroic protagonist from a movie, covered in bullets, wielding a six-barreled machine gun, and capable of single-handedly holding off thousands.
Then... replace that protagonist with yourself...
"..."
It feels so out of place!
"The most beautiful and powerful firepower angel, Eden-chan, firepower is supreme~?"
"Is this joke so hard to get over for you!? And what's with your 'firepower first' nonsense?!"
Eden was initially internally complaining, but Liu Bai's nonsensical words were like the last straw, causing Eden's ladylike image to crumble.
He grabbed Liu Bai by the collar with both hands and lifted him up.
"what……"
Liu Bai and Eden were both stunned.
Liu Bai originally thought that Eden's power attributes were mostly the kind that allowed for rapid leveling up.
g梦
Judging from the current situation... this person's strength might already be 2.
No wonder he can adapt to whales; this person has a naturally high strength growth coefficient.
Even though it's done with both hands, lifting a grown man by the collar is no easy task...
And Jun Yiden was also very embarrassed, this scene seemed to be the impression of Mio (her own monster) walking around...|
