You wouldn't want them to be bullied, would you?

"Hum..."

Cecilia chuckled and then explained, "That's because 'Mist Manor' suddenly appeared, so we prepared to move."

“'Misty Manor'…”

Theresa muttered to herself, having dealt with similar situations before, so she didn't pay much attention to it.

"Cecilia, do you need my help?"

"Yes, of course we need to, since we have a lot of luggage and it's not really suitable to take a long drive there."

"Then I'll call Maria and Angelia later, and we'll go to Academy City to pick you up together."

"how long will it takes?"

"About two hours."

“Theresa, there’s no need to come so early. Qiu Bi may not be able to quickly resolve the ‘Mist Manor’.”

"It's alright. I miss Sirin quite a bit, so I might as well go and see her."

Theresa isn't the only one who misses Sirin; Angelia, also a magical girl, does too.

Having become a magical girl and possessing the ability to control her own destiny, Angelia has become Sirin's most loyal "little fangirl".

Even in Angelia's heart, Maria might not be as important as Sirin.

Chapter 144 Fog Sea Manor

Changkong City.

Qiu Bi, Raiden Mei, Seele, and Yae Sakura leisurely arrived and followed Anila's guidance to find the "Mist Manor".

Because of their unique physical characteristics, Raiden Mei and Yae Sakura need to wear certain accessories to conceal their bodies.

The former wore a sweatband, using her horns as accessories, while the latter wore a pink headband that made her fox ears look like rabbit ears.

"Qiu Bi, the world five hundred years from now will be much more lively than my time. At least... the kind of disaster that happened before will not happen again."

Upon hearing Yae Sakura's words, Qiu Bi paused slightly before replying, "Not necessarily. Just because something isn't out in the open doesn't mean it doesn't exist."

Upon hearing this, Yae Sakura seemed to remember something, and her expression suddenly became much lower.

Seeing this, Qiu Bi pondered for a moment and said, "After we settle down at St. Freya Academy, I will grant your wish—to help you revive 'Rin'."

"Qiu Bi, you...you learned these things from Karen?"

"No, that's not it. Sakura, I actually know you very well."

Qiu Bi's words were concise and to the point, without going into detail. Sometimes, no matter how much you say, it's better to fill in the blanks yourself.

After saying this, Yae Sakura inevitably started to have wild thoughts, to the point that her gaze toward Qiu Bi became increasingly strange.

Currently, only Karen can be said to know her very well, while Qiu Bi didn't learn about her from Karen. Could it be that...?

Qiu Bi had actually been keeping an eye on her all along?

Before long, Yae Sakura's thoughts wandered.

Qiu Bi is completely unaware of Yae Sakura's thoughts and is currently following Anila's guidance, wandering around Changkong City in search of the "Mist Manor".

Raiden Mei held his right hand, while Seele held his left hand, both of them curiously looking around at the scenery.

This is Seele's first time visiting Changkong City.

"Anila, how far is it from that 'Misty Manor'?"

"It's not far, meow! Master, that manor is strange, you must be careful, meow!"

"Don't worry, there is nothing that can defeat us at present."

Qiu Bi chuckled to himself.

With everyone's current setup, Raiden Mei, who has mastered the "Secret Technique: True Dream Theory," is enough to make her stand out in the world.

When the "Unthinking One Slash" is unleashed, no one can stand in front of Raiden Mei any longer.

—Except for my sisters.

Anila remained skeptical but continued to lead the group in their search for "Misty Manor".

About half an hour later, the group finally found the mysterious "Mist Manor".

As Anila had previously described, the estate was shrouded in thick fog, making it difficult to see anything inside.

As the thick fog surged, it seemed as if some ferocious beast emerged, letting out a silent roar at the crowd.

"Qiu Bi, be careful—the Honkai energy here is very concentrated."

"Indeed. Dr. Qiu, this manor is likely to be quite dangerous."

A wisp of lightning flashed across Raiden Mei's purple vertical pupils, and lightning faintly shot from her horns, as if she could launch an attack at any moment.

Qiu Bi seemed to be deep in thought, then withdrew his right hand and looked at Xi'er beside him.

"Seele, what's coming next might be a little uncomfortable, try to bear with it."

"Yes, Brother Qiu Bi, Xi'er will be patient!"

Seele nodded vigorously, then waited patiently.

Qiu Bi reached out and stroked Seele's hair, while simultaneously granting Seele abilities.

The contract grants—a perfect fit for Honkai energy!

With this ability granted, Seele's pretty face flushed deeply, and her sea-blue eyes seemed to transform into a real "ocean," rippling with alluring charm.

Not only that, the stigmata on Seele's chest seemed to have been activated, emitting a faint red glow that was both eerie and strange.

Seemingly sensing something, Xi'er's alluring eyes subconsciously glanced behind Qiu Bi and saw "herself" standing quietly.

"That's...another me?"

Seele blinked, a surge of curiosity and affection welling up inside her.

After hearing about "Raiden Movie" from Sirin and Raiden Mei, Seele not only didn't reject the "second personality," but actually really wanted to have one.

Now that something resembling a "second personality" has suddenly appeared, Seele is naturally overjoyed.

Qiu Bi was completely unaware of this, but Raiden Mei seemed to sense something and followed Seele's gaze to look behind Qiu Bi.

After being reminded by Lei, she roughly understood why Seele was so happy.

—Second Personality.

"It's time to enter the manor now."

Qiu Bi, holding Xi'er's hand, led the way into the thick fog.

Raiden Mei and Yae Sakura looked at each other in silence, then followed Qiu Bi into the "Mist Manor".

……

Fog Sea Manor.

In the ancient yet tidy and magnificent hall, a white-haired girl stood gracefully by the window, gazing at the thick fog outside.

"It's happening again... How long am I supposed to stay in this manor?"

The white-haired girl murmured softly, and then, as if sensing something, her gaze seemed to pierce through space, seeing Qiu Bi and the others walking into the thick fog.

"A guest has arrived... Go. Go and 'greet' the guest."

sound off.

The thick fog outside the window seeped into the room and gradually coalesced into human shapes, eventually forming a group of fog maids holding dinner knives.

Then, the maids marched in unison toward the entrance of the Fog Sea Manor.

The white-haired girl stood alone by the window, remaining silent for a few seconds before gazing out again, seemingly lost in thought or perhaps reminiscing: "Mother, I truly miss you..."

At the same time, Qiu Bi and his group had just entered the Fog Sea Manor when they encountered the fog maid created by the white-haired girl.

These maids not only moved in perfect unison, but also silently, so much so that Yae Sakura and Raiden Mei only belatedly noticed them when they approached the group.

"Watch out! They are not human, but 'demons'!"

Although she has lived in the modern city for a long time, Yae Sakura still hasn't changed her way of addressing people, referring to the assassins and Honkai Beasts as "demons" as always.

Immediately, Yae Sakura drew her cherry-colored katana from her waist and slashed fiercely at the misty maids.

Qiu Bi couldn't help but glance at it a few more times, his gaze fixed on the cherry blossom-colored katana used by Yae Sakura.

This katana is called "Spirit Blade: Cherry Blossom Blizzard". It was once a weapon enshrined at the Yae Shrine. After Yae Sakura became the shrine maiden of Yae Shrine, this weapon became Yae Sakura's personal katana.

Those mist maids seemed to possess a certain degree of "physical immunity," and Yae Sakura's slashes were not very effective.

The next second, a bolt of lightning flashed by, instantly piercing through the body of a mist maid, shattering her into a large patch of mist, which then merged into the bodies of the other mist maids.

Chapter 145 Luna Silvaria

Raiden Mei's fingertips still retained traces of lightning, radiating a dazzling light and emitting a soft rumble of thunder.

“Sister Sakura, ordinary attacks don’t work on them. You can try attaching Honkai energy.”

Raiden Mei gently reminded Yae Sakura, while simultaneously making a grasping motion with her right hand, transforming lightning into a katana.

This is not "Dream of One Heart," but just an ordinary Raiden Katana.

There's no need to draw "Dream Heart" to deal with these fog maids.

Yae Sakura nodded silently, then infused Sakura Blizzard with Honkai energy, causing it to glow faintly.

The next moment, a flash of cherry-colored light appeared, easily tearing apart the body of the mist maid, shattering it into mist of varying sizes, and then merging into the bodies of the other mist maids.

As the dense fog merged in, the surviving fog maids underwent a visible change.

Not only did its form gradually become clearer and more lifelike, but it also acquired a slight "intelligence".

At first, these mist maids didn't know how to dodge, and they stupidly endured the attacks of Raiden Mei and Yae Sakura. However, after absorbing a large amount of mist, these mist maids began to dodge the attacks in a crude way.

Qiu Bi did not participate in the battle, but instead watched Raiden Mei and Yae Sakura fight from the sidelines.

With Raiden Mei and Yae Sakura blocking their way, the Mist Maid didn't attack Qiu Bi and Seele.
