The white "Costa Firenze" let out a deafening roar, tearing through the waves.
This was an Italian-style luxury cruise ship, about 323 meters long, capable of accommodating over 5,000 passengers. It was specially designed for billionaires, international superstars, and political and business magnates. Riding on such a luxury cruise ship, one would not feel like they had left land at all. The ship had multiple themed restaurants, museums, art exhibition spaces, and classic Italian cafes.
To allow passengers to enjoy a luxurious experience, the cruise ship also had deluxe sea-view suites, swimming pools, and a cinema.
When Qian Yi and the others arrived at St. Freya Academy, this cruise ship was already waiting for them at the port. This was a specially approved ride from Otto to show his generosity. It would transport the Honkai main trio and the dimensional chat group squad to Jiuyou in the East China Sea.
Besides showing generosity, there was another matter. The level of this mission was very high, involving a Judgment-class Honkai Beast, and they could not be careless.
"The bread here even has jam filling. Can I take some?" Seele rubbed her small hands together like a fly, asking the waiter with expectant eyes. As long as the waiter said yes, she would immediately take out a sack and sweep all the bread on the table into it.
"These utensils are all made of silver. This must be the kind used by the Victorian royal family, right?" Talulah studied the utensils in her hand.
"Ata, have some taste. Silver utensils aren't worth much anymore. Look at these bottles of champagne on the table. Each bottle is worth at least two hundred thousand yen," Qian Yi shrugged and reminded her.
Shoko, who was about to open a bottle and pour a glass for everyone, suddenly shuddered. The hand holding the champagne trembled slightly.
This one bottle is worth several months of my salary?!
"Can I sneak it away?" Shoko felt her moral compass dropping again.
"Shoko, taking it openly is not okay. But you can pretend to drink it, then secretly pack it into a group red packet and send it to someone. After the mission, everyone can claim and settle it together," Qian Yi suggested. In fact, he had already swiped several game consoles on the cruise ship, planning to fill the space in his room back home. He was just very fast and professional, so no one noticed.
"Although you are Kiana, Mei, and Bronya's friends, can you not be so obvious in front of me?"
As the leader of this operation, Murata Himeko, looking at this group of god-tier people who were either stealing food, swiping utensils, or sneaking champagne, really couldn't take it anymore.
Where did this group of god-tier people come from?
Are you guys the Phantom Thieves? Why do you want to take everything you see?
This is the ace squad that Raiden Mei said could easily secure victory even against a fully-formed Herrscher and the strongest S-rank Valkyrie?
"I see, I understand. Here, take this." Kiana took out a sleep mask and handed it to Himeko.
"Hmm? What do you mean?" Himeko was taken aback.
"Major Himeko, if you wear this, you won't be able to see. Then we won't be doing it in front of you," Kiana said.
Himeko: "?"
Young lady... ah no, she's no longer a young lady.
The auntie's blush is more telling than any love words.
AIEEE! Such a scene, even Himeko couldn't help but close her eyes. Oh, Headmaster, can you see this hellish sight?
She felt that her already short lifespan had been instantly reduced by half. How could she carry out the mission properly with this group of god-tier people?
But she still decided to be gentle. Because she was the captain this time, the success or failure of the mission was related to whether she could get that Divine Key, the "Xuanyuan Sword." And around that Xuanyuan Sword, there was likely the Stigma of Ji Ling. If she could get that Stigma, her body could also be healed, allowing her to live a few more years. Sigh, I'll just have to endure it a bit longer.
Phew, a young girl in a school uniform is still the best.
Looking at Hiiragi Utena, who was squatting in a corner reading manga, Himeko felt that this child, like Mei, was a breath of fresh air, different from the other god-tier people. So she prepared to go over and say hello. But as she got closer, she heard a strange voice.
"Obasan (old woman), obasan, obasan... why is it an obasan? I absolutely don't want an obasan magical girl."
Hiiragi Utena, who had been overjoyed to skip class and participate, thinking there would be many young, lively, and cute Valkyries on the mission, had lost all her motivation and ambition upon seeing that the lead Valkyrie was an auntie. She had turned into a little goldfish.
The moment she saw that auntie approaching her, Utena was startled and blurted out, "Old auntie!"
Himeko: "..."
In an instant, Himeko lost her color and turned into white ash.
She felt her life force had burned out.
...
Under the pretext of stealing things, Qian Yi and the others finally inspected the entire luxury cruise ship. After confirming that there were no major weapons like Honkai energy fission bombs buried below, everyone went to the cinema to watch a movie.
While watching the story of "Saint Kallen," Talulah asked her companion beside her, "Qian Yi, are we really going to deal with Chiyou? I have a feeling it's a trap."
"How could it be? Schicksal has so many Valkyries, yet they specifically threw this mission to St. Freya Academy. Isn't it obvious they're testing Kiana's strength, or rather, our strength?" Qian Yi said, grabbing a handful of popcorn and chewing on it.
"Then are we still going?" Kiana poked her head out.
"It's just a transit stop. At the speed of this luxury cruise ship, it will take at least three days to get from St. Freya Academy to Jiuyou in the East China Sea. With Jizo Mitama's ability, we can make that guy Otto think we're on the ship the whole time until he sends someone to check in person. There's a lot of room for maneuvering during this period," Qian Yi said.
"What kind of maneuvering?" Seele asked.
"Schicksal is not an easy organization to deal with. We need to go all out, and we need to formulate a very detailed battle plan. We also need some misdirection." Qian Yi snapped his fingers, and the "Saint Kallen" movie playing in the cinema was replaced by a beautiful woman in a maid outfit who seemed to be on an infiltration investigation. A small map in the lower left corner even specifically marked her current location: London, England.
"I remember this maid. She's very rich, and her weapon is also very valuable," Shoko suddenly said.
"That's right. And she has a very good relationship with Durandal. If she were kidnapped, the first one to come to her rescue would be Durandal ninety-nine percent of the time. In other words, we can kidnap Rita to achieve the goal of making Durandal leave Schicksal headquarters, leaving Schicksal with no S-rank Valkyries stationed inside," Qian Yi paused. "That would be a good opportunity for us to blitz Schicksal headquarters and take Otto's head."
"Do we need to be so wary of my sister? I feel like it wouldn't be hard for us to beat her now," Kiana suddenly asked.
"Good." Qian Yi gave a thumbs-up and assigned Kiana a mission. "D-rank Valkyrie Kiana, step forward. I order you to lead a separate force to attack Durandal."
Kiana fell silent.
Trash talking online is one thing. She still vividly remembered being hung up and whipped by Durandal for two hours last time. She didn't want to be whipped for another two hours.
She decided to obediently go and fight Rita.
The Herrscher of Lust, who was on a mission in London, inexplicably felt a malice from beyond the world.
