Honkai Impact 3rd, but I have too many mods.

"I also think they are cute."

Liu Bai took the Fox Palace from Peruvieri.

"Where's your mother?"

"My mother couldn't hold her liquor and went back to her room first."

"Ah... I can't hold my liquor."

Peruvelli nodded calmly, seemingly unconcerned whether Liu Bai believed her or not, and then turned and left.

"Something's wrong with that child. It would be best to have someone follow her tonight."

Hu Zhaigong huddled in Liu Bai's arms and muttered softly.

"Hmm... Lord Liu Bai, your pectoral muscles are quite firm. Let me lick them~."

Please stop following serious statements with these inappropriate remarks.

"I understand." Bai nodded and reached out to tug at the tail of the Fox Palace.

I don't know about the "let you lick me" thing!

It seems that after becoming a fox, Fox Palace has become more uninhibited.

On the contrary, the divine child, perhaps because of the temperature, remained curled up in a ball and very quiet.

Upon receiving the reminder from Huzhai Palace, Liu Bai immediately sent a message to Xueyi.

"...Is it necessary to bring the girl with the black and white hair back?"

Xueyi looked at the message sent by Liu Bai, her face expressionless, and got up to open the window.

The duties of the judges in the Ten Kings' Office were roughly divided into "detention, imprisonment, torture, and interrogation".

To put it simply, the first two are field operations, and the last two are office operations.

Going out to arrest people... is something she's very good at, a long-lost job.

Xueyi leaped out of the window, nimbly avoiding the surveillance cameras in the base.

...As a judge, she never expected that one day she would have to evade surveillance, which was a rather novel experience for her.

However, Liu Bai only gave her a general idea of ​​where the other party left; she would have to find out the exact location herself.

Is it not better to be in a better place? In the present-day Kiwu, most people (are enjoying the feast) are actually better off than those who keep watch at night.

"……found it."

Near the base's gate, Xueyi discovered the girl with black and white hair that Liu Bai had described.

However... what does Lord Liu Bai mean by "necessary"?

Xueyi paused for a moment after seeing Peruvier's back.

Um... does that mean arresting someone for catching them red-handed?

The process is a bit different now; previously, Xueyi would give the target a weapon and then capture it directly.

However, this is not too difficult to understand.

"...We didn't use the main entrance."

Seeing Peruvier climb over the wall, Xueyi immediately followed.

As a doll, she doesn't need to breathe or have a heartbeat, so some senses are completely ineffective for her.

She just needs to keep quiet and not be directly discovered.

"...I feel a little unwell."

Peruvée had a bad feeling and glanced back.

However, outside the base was a vast expanse of white snow. The nearby scenery was fine, but in the distance, under the monotonous scenery and the cover of the dim night, it was impossible to see anything clearly.

Peruvieri couldn't possibly turn back—she didn't have that much time to waste; with such a vast expanse of snow, who knew how long it would take.

Therefore, Peruvieri had no choice but to speed up her pace.

Snowsuit, meanwhile, would occasionally lie prone in the snow to continue following.

If Peruvieri showed any sign of shaking her off, she would take action immediately.

Well, her logic as a judge is that since she's going to arrest you anyway, and she can't catch a big fish, she might as well take you back for questioning first.

Peruveli ran wildly across the snowfield for two or three hours, and Xueyi followed behind her for the same two or three hours.

(...What's this side?)

Peruvelli finally stopped, and Xueyi looked at the scene before her with a thoughtful expression in her eyes.

It looks like a base, but... the architectural style is different from the base of the Far North Branch.

Moreover, the guards all wore different clothes.

It's not hard to see that this is the base of another force.

Peruvieri slowly drew the Valkyrie-style longsword from her waist and took a deep breath.

Crimson flames slowly swirled around Peruvieri's sword.

Although a one-handed sword is not her most proficient weapon, it is Kujavina's most proficient weapon.

Therefore, the first weapons the children in the Hearth House learn to use are swords and knives.

...If nothing unexpected happens, she will also try to use swords to bury her mother.

"who!?"

Peruvéli, standing casually in the snow and manipulating the elements, quickly attracted the attention of the officers on duty.

The searchlights shone directly on Peruvieri's head at night.

The sudden burst of bright light made Peruvier squint.

"..."

"The Valkyrie of Destiny...?"

The officers on duty expressed their doubts.

I have absolutely no idea why there would be a Valkyrie standing all alone outside in the middle of the night.

The searchlights searched the surrounding area but did not find any ambushes.

"Are you... alright?" the officer on duty in the watchtower asked through a loudspeaker. "If not, please leave immediately!"

Although the other party drew their sword, are you sure they're here to cause trouble?

One person, charging at their entire camp?

Peruvéli remained unmoved by their questions, continuing to walk forward step by step through the snow.

"Stop it now!"

"If you continue to advance, we will open fire on you!"

"Did you hear me! Stop right now!"

"..." Xueyi watched this scene from behind.

For some reason, she felt that the situation couldn't be allowed to escalate any further.

Is this... stirring up trouble? These kinds of things happen occasionally in interstellar space.

Realizing the situation might be about to escalate, Yuki, wielding two Demon-Slaying Spikes, leaped out of the snow.

This time, Xueyi did not suppress her movements.

"Ok?"

The commotion behind her startled Peruvieri, who turned around in surprise.

"Surrender."

"—?" Peruveli narrowly dodged the energy chains that were hurtling towards her.

However, Xueyi followed closely behind, wielding the Demon-Slaying Cone.

"Who are you--?"

The distance of three to five hundred meters was completely unobstructed, and for someone in a fully open snowsuit, it was just a leap away.

Isn't this Liu Bai's beloved doll?

Peruvieri stared in astonishment at the snow-white, rose-red, emotionless pupils.

Am I... seeing a ghost? Has the doll turned into a living person?

No, could it be that Liu Bai's doll was made based on this person?

However, the current situation doesn't allow Peruvieri much time to think about it.

Behind Xueyi, five or six blue chains came toward her.

And... this woman is incredibly strong!

"cough--!"

Just before Peruvieri was about to change her move, Yuki interrupted her with a knee strike.

A cone is a short weapon, and the use of short weapons is often inseparable from physical skills.

At this distance... if it weren't for the Abundant Beast, this attack would have been enough to incapacitate her.

"……Um?"

Xueyi leaned back, and the blade wreathed in crimson flames just barely grazed past her eyes.

"..."

It's really surprising.

Is it even possible to launch a counterattack?

"Cough...cough..."

Peruvéli, leaning on her knife, couldn't help but cough.

That knee strike was not pleasant for her.

It felt as if I had just been struck with the pestle of a temple bell.

A powerful spiritual desire for life compelled her to make the counterattack she had just witnessed—otherwise, if the other side pursued her, she would surely die.

"Are you... one of Liu Bai's people? Or one of Rita's people?"

"..."

Peruvelli was kicked away again at the moment the knives and daggers clashed.

This time, Xueyi deliberately kicked her in the opposite direction of the campsite in front of her.

It was the same tactic as last time, but even though Peruvieri tried to defend, she still couldn't stop it.

He was completely outmatched in both combat experience and physical ability.

Bikujavina felt even more pressure than she did.

In fact, Peruvieri had long anticipated her mother's strength—starting two years ago.

Two years ago, she had only a 40% chance of winning against her mother; now, it's about 70%.

She believed she was quite powerful, but now...

"...Aren't you prepared to communicate at all?"

However, he had no intention of killing.

She... had no intention of dying quietly here.

"I surrender."

Peruvéri, who was kneeling on the ground, struggled to straighten up, threw away her sword, and raised her hands.

The only thing the other party said to me was "surrender".

In other words, the other party did not come to kill him.
