Chapter 431 Specific

Dong Dong Dong————!

When Xi was still debating whether to let Sister Petunia in, Petunia knocked on the door again.

"Xi, please respond to me a little and help open the door. I have something to go out later~"

Xi glanced at the silent Theophel, took this opportunity to slowly break free from her wall, and immersed his body in the water.

"Sister Petunia, did you forget something in there? Or do you want to go to the toilet?" Xi, of course, couldn't remain silent forever, so she asked.

"Oh, I hope you finally responded to me! Really, please don't scare me. There has been no movement for so long. I almost thought you fell asleep while taking a bath and drowned in the bathtub..." Penny outside the door listened. It looked like he was relieved.

"...So Sister Petunia, why do you want to come in?" Xi asked again. She always felt that Sister Petunia seemed to be deliberately avoiding this question.

"Ah...it's nothing. It suddenly occurred to me that I seemed to have made a mistake...Huh? My mission is about to begin, so bye bye, Xi~"

After saying that, Penny was about to slip away.

She originally wanted to give Xi a surprise inspection to see what her little secret was, but she didn't expect that the other party was still a little wary. She usually didn't lock the door when taking a bath, but she actually broke this habit this time. After thinking about it, It won't open. Unless he breaks in, he will never be able to get in this time.

But the situation is not yet at that point. Although she is curious and worried about Xi's hidden secret, there is no way that Penny will break into the bathroom for this purpose.

It's better to go on a mission. She has now joined Captain Alicia's first team. Currently, except for herself and Destobia, the rest of the first team members are performing missions outside. She was still a member of the first team at the beginning. I took leave in order to wait for Xi to come back and help take care of Destobia.

Although Captain Alicia generously allowed her to join the team tomorrow, Penny still felt that this was not good.

Even though she had so many thoughts about fishing before, she also has a certain sense of responsibility. After all, the other members of the first team except Destobia may have to stay up late tonight, and maybe her own Will joining slightly reduce the workload of others?

And this is a mission issued for Thousand Herrschers... Penny doesn't really want to be absent at such an important moment.

Petunia turned around and was about to go to the room to change clothes and pack things, but at this moment, Xi's voice came out: "Sister Petunia, what mission are you going to perform tonight? Is it about the Herrscher?"

"……Um?"

Penny was surprised. She didn't understand why even an ordinary little girl like Xi knew this level of information. Wasn't the existence of the Herrscher kept secret from ordinary people?

She didn't know that Xi's previous identity was the Sixth Herrscher of this era.

"Xi, who told you the word 'Herrscher'?" Penny asked tentatively.

"Well...it's the eldest brother. He often tells me things about Honkai. He also told me the word 'Herrscher'!" Xi Ke couldn't talk about his previous experiences, so he followed the eldest brother's wishes. She put the blame on him. Anyway, the question she just asked was under the instruction of her elder brother.

Li was a little curious about the "mission" that Penny mentioned, but he had a rough guess. After all, he knew that the Fire Chasing Moth's operation against the Thousand Herrschers was currently in full swing.

People in the Fire Chaser generally don't have the energy to perform other lower-priority tasks at this stage, let alone Penny now being a member of the first team.

Li also wanted to get more specific information from Penny. Alicia and the others did not tell him everything. They just briefly explained the plan and told Li not to worry and to wait at the base for them to complete their mission and come back. That’s it.

Li has no thoughts of going to the battlefield for the time being, but she doesn't want to lose sight of it either.

"Big brother...oh, it's that person..."

Penny suddenly realized, she naturally understood who the big brother Xi was talking about was Li, who had disappeared for several months... There was no news for so long, alas, he was probably gone...

"Xi, this is a secret mission of mine, so I can't say too much." Penny wanted to refuse, but was blocked by Xi's words: "Sister Petunia, actually I know something about it..."

Then Xi told some of the information she got when Li talked with Kevin. Just a little bit of it left Penny stunned, because she didn't know what Xi said!

"...Xi, who told you these?"

After a moment of silence, Penny said silently, Li is not here, does Xi have any other sources of information?

"It was Alicia...my sister told me!"

"?"

Penny suddenly felt strange, "Xi, your tone..."

Is it an illusion? Why did she always feel that the tone of Xi's words had changed?

"No, Sister Petunia, it's your illusion~"

"..."

No, although the imitation is very similar, what's with that inexplicable sense of dissonance?

After thinking for a moment, Penny did not ask further questions, but said helplessly: "Xi, you already know so much, why do you still ask me?"

"Because I don't know the more specific ones yet... For example, Sister Petunia, I'm very curious about the specific action plan of your team!" Li controlled Nozomi's mouth while imitating Nozomi's tone.

Leave this kind of deception to yourself, otherwise it would be too difficult for an honest kid like Xi to lie.

"..."

Penny hesitated.

"Sister Petunia, how about... we exchange information, you tell me the specific action plan, and I tell you some secrets that you don't know?" Li said seductively.

"It doesn't work, then forget it..."

Petunia glanced at Destobia's room, but there was no movement, so she lowered her voice and chose to briefly explain to Xi the actions of the first team, but she did not tell them everything. She just told some of the location of the action and the time of the attack... Not much, but enough for Li.

"Thank you sister Petunia, mua~"

"..."

Penny should be happy, but why does she feel so cold?

"..."

And Xi listened to the words coming out of her mouth and touched it unconsciously. She couldn't believe that her elder brother could control her mouth to say such shameful words!

Penny left, and Liya returned the control to Xi, who later received a faint voice of dissatisfaction from Xi: "Brother, can you please stop saying those strange words next time you use my body..."

"Oh? What are you talking about?"

"It's just..."

"For example, 'I love you the most, mua~'?"

"Huh? Huh?!"
