After knocking on the door again, there was no response, so Yaeji took two steps back.
He turned to look at Sakura and found that she was also looking at him eagerly.
"Looks like Aretha isn't home, so we're really unlucky."
Yaeji turned over and mounted his horse, looking up at the dim sky.
It seems that he made a miscalculation. If he had known earlier, he should have gone to the Intelligence Department to find out more before coming to Locke Town.
Riding horseback to Yumi's house not far away, Yumi should be at home at this time...
After a while, Yae Ji came to the door of La Xier's house again. It was obvious that there was no one in Youmi's house either.
After the war, a large number of members of the elite team died, and Locke Town, a town prepared for members of the elite team, also became deserted. It is not known how many years it will take before it can return to its former prosperity.
Yae Ji knocked on the door of La Xier's house, and finally got a response this time.
"You are..." The person who opened the door was a pretty girl wearing simple clothes and an apron.
Yae Ji has never seen her before.
Without replying first, he asked instead: "Isn't this La Xier's home?"
"That's right." The girl was confused, "This is indeed where Master La Xier is stationed. Who are you?"
Yae Ji breathed a sigh of relief, "I am La Xier's former comrade and former member of the Shadow Blade team, Yae Ji. Where is La Xier?"
"Lord La Xier, she..."
Before the girl could finish speaking, another gentle female voice came from the courtyard: "I hear La Xier's friends have arrived? Let them in quickly."
...
A girl named Jian En entertained the Yae brothers and sisters. Sitting opposite Yae Ji was La Xie'er's biological sister, who had met him once.
It is said that she was once a member of the Shadow Blade team and joined the Shadow Blade team at the same time as Aretha.
She has long blond hair, about 1.6 meters tall, has a delicate figure, and her appearance is similar to La Xier's, and she looks more mature.
These are not the important points. The most profound impression she can leave on strangers is her pair of gray eyes.
Yaeji briefly understood the situation with her, and immediately felt dumbfounded.
Ned complained to him twice, saying that he did not write a letter to notify him in advance when he came back, but Yaeji never took it seriously.
Now that heaven is reincarnating, retribution will come to him!
Aretha, Rachel, and Youmi set off for the Siti District to find him!
This is better.
After learning the news, the gentle woman invited the two brothers and sister to stay overnight. Yaeji repeatedly declined and left with his sister.
As a patrolling priest, he had guest rooms when Locke Town was prosperous. Now that Locke Town is so deserted, the housing problem is naturally not a problem.
Yaeji chose his original house, and after hurriedly cleaning it with his sister, Yaeji took out two rice balls from his backpack...
In the end, he ate one and a half, while Sakura only ate half.
In the bedroom, Yaeji lit a candle and wrote a letter to send to Rin in Sidi District. Yaeji was very relieved to have Rin entertaining Aretha and the others in Siti District.
After finishing writing, Yaeji fell into deep thought.
La Xier's sister told him a lot.
The once high-spirited captain Aretha seems to have fallen into a trough in life.
In the entire Shadow Blade team, she is the only one still serving.
It is said that they accepted the arrangement. After the Battle of Siti, the Shadow Blade Team, which lost three members, was disbanded.
Aretha is in another elite team, but her dream... is to reorganize the Shadow Blade team, then retire when they are on the right track, and then return to her hometown.
I just don't know if her wish can be realized.
Aretha's age is considered old among the younger Valkyrie troops. I wonder if she can reorganize the Shadow Blade in her short peak period.
La Xier retired from the army at the request of her sister and took a job as a sinecure in the logistics department.
It seems that La Xier's ending is the best, but who knows what she is thinking in her heart.
Yuya...the twins originally planned to retire...
Yaeji stopped thinking about it. At this moment, a scent of fragrance came from behind, and the wet hair stuck together and hung to Yaeji's ears.
With her hands wrapped around her back, Sakura poked her little head out and looked into the candlelight.
"What else should I write?"
Yae Ji reached up and pinched Sakura's little hand on his chest.
"Send a letter to Rin."
Sakura took a look and whispered: "The water has been changed, go and wash it quickly."
Yaeji patted Sakura's little hand and said, "Tomorrow is a day off, and the day after tomorrow I will take you to hunt tank-level Honkai beasts."
...
Yesterday, Yae Ji rushed the letter back, hoping that it would be sent to Rin before Aretha and the others left Siti.
Yaeji didn't know how long he would stay here. Anyway, he was going to take Sakura hunting a few times, and then he found an excuse to let Sakura stay in Locke Town while he looked for opportunities to activate the super-mutable factor.
Early this morning, Yae Ji took Sakura from Locke Town, and first went to the Eastern General Military Region. Relying on the kindness of the two Yumi sisters, they obtained the location information of the areas with greater Honkai Impact from the Intelligence Department.
.
With map markings, finding Honkaimon becomes easier.
In the past, you could encounter a group of monsters in the wilderness from time to time. Now that the monster tide has just ended, it is unlikely that you will have the same luck as before.
They had to continue exploring the depths of the wilderness. Fortunately, Yae Ji had a 'backpack', rice balls that could restore physical strength in a short time, and a life-saving ghoul agent.
This allowed him and Sakura's temporary team to last longer in the wilderness.
It's just that I haven't taken a shower and my body smells bad.
Even so, they still have Sakura Fukiyuki. At worst, if they sleep with Sakura Fukiyuki in their arms, they may smell better the next day.
As for Sakura Fukiyuki's feelings? Yae Ji doesn't care.
...
"What kind of monster is that!"
The members of a Valkyrie team were particularly frightened.
"It's a ballista class! I've seen it in the information! A rare Honkaimon!"
"There is also a knight level!"
The war horse that had been trained since childhood began to neigh uneasily, and the frequency of the horse's hooves stepping on the ground became faster and faster.
"Not good! Run quickly! The concentration of Honkai energy here is tending to increase!"
The leading Valkyrie pulled the reins, preparing to turn the horse around and leave this crazy place.
Rumble——
The war horse became more and more irritable and began to disobey the Valkyrie's orders. The black horse* gradually turned to blood red.
"Dismount and run! Run!"
The five people got off their horses, ignored the crazy horses, and tried their best to run in the direction where the concentration of Honkai energy was lower.
The leading Valkyrie looked back and watched helplessly as a two-meter-tall monster expanded to more than ten meters tall.
The fur transformed into hard white armor, and the forelimbs were also swelling and enlarging, with the figure of the broken crystal looming on its body.
Tank class!
The shaking on the ground continues to intensify, and one monster after another is infected into a complete Honkai Beast.
Just as Valkyrie was about to turn around, she saw the face of the new member at the back who had just joined the team...a little bit of gray!
