The Hyperion had remained in the sea where Chi You died.
This was to deal with the remaining small Honkai Beasts in the sea after Chi You's death, as well as the Death Soldier that emerged from Chi You's body.
Aili was lying on a beach chair on the Hyperion's deck.
She heard rapid footsteps approaching from behind.
Aili pushed her sunglasses up onto her forehead.
"Is today's cleanup work finished? Kiana ♬ ~" Aili picked up the juice next to her and held it up.
The juice was then immediately snatched away by Kiana.
Listening to the loud gulping sounds beside her, Aili narrowed her eyes and chuckled softly.
"Elysia! You guys! You're too despicable!" Kiana sat directly beside Aili and reached out to pinch Aili's cheek.
"We were working hard to clear out the Honkai Beasts, while you… you were leisurely… leisurely sunbathing here!" Kiana saw the narrowed eyes that seemed to be smiling, and she used both hands to pull Aili's cheeks outwards.
"Ah, this is a chance for you, Kiana, to train, isn't it? Besides, we went through a very tough battle to get out of Chi You's body." Aili let Kiana pinch her face.
After all, it did seem like they had been a bit excessive.
"I don't care! I want to rest too!" Kiana lay down directly on Aili's body.
Aili moved over a bit, allowing Kiana to lie beside her.
"Kiana, don't be so willful." Mei walked over, wiping her hair.
"Sorry, Elysia, Kiana she..."
"Mei, there's no need to worry about this. After all, no one dislikes such a lively Kiana, right ♬ ~"
"And, a little rest won't hurt either ♬ ~" Aili put her sunglasses back on and then placed her arm over Kiana's head.
"But the mission isn't finished yet," Mei said, frowning.
Rita also brought over extra chairs at this moment.
"Miss Mei, there's no need to worry about the Honkai Beast cleanup mission."
"Although the Honkai Beasts in the sea are not common Honkai Beasts, their strength is lower than that of ordinary Honkai Beasts."
"So we just need to wait for the mechs to clean up. Once the big Honkai Beasts appear, we'll eliminate them, and the mission will be complete."
After speaking, Rita had already arranged all the chairs.
She then went back and called out Durandal and Theresa.
Looking at the scene on the deck, Mei also breathed a sigh of relief. This way, it shouldn't count as slacking off, right?
After all, even her teacher and superior were resting here.
On the other side, Rita pressed Durandal into a chair, then stood behind the chair, massaging Durandal's shoulders.
"Bianka, we should finish clearing out the Honkai Beasts here as soon as possible and then return to headquarters to report," Durandal said to Rita behind her.
"Bianka, Lord Bishop did not set a deadline for us to complete the cleanup, so we can totally take a short rest here." Rita reached out, grabbed an apple, and held it to Durandal's mouth.
Looking at the apple by her mouth, Durandal still took a bite and then took the apple.
"Can't we just go back early and rest at headquarters?"
"Bianka, the environment at headquarters is not the same as here. After all, at headquarters, you always want to train." Rita took the apple core and then handed over a glass of juice.
"But..."
"No buts, Bianka. Just consider it as me delaying your last vacation." Rita directly covered Durandal's mouth and then whispered into Durandal's ear.
Durandal glanced at the people lying on the deck, then sighed, "Alright, let's consider today a day of rest then."
"That's more like it, come on, Bianka." Rita used a fork to pick up a slice of watermelon, which had been cut at some unknown time, and brought it to Durandal's mouth.
In the area where they were resting, several small stalls selling fruit and drinks had appeared at some point.
And there were staff inside them as well.
Many of the other people on the battleship, except for those on essential duty, were also resting.
This scene must have been Theresa's doing.
Perhaps she had given everyone on the battleship a holiday again.
As more people rested, Durandal also became less resistant to resting.
Rita silently gave Theresa a thumbs-up in her heart.
Perhaps lying here in casual clothes or combat uniforms looked unseemly.
Some little genius, at some unknown point, drove a flying vehicle out of the hangar and parked it nearby, using it as a changing room.
Even clothing stalls had already been set up.
It was clearly a battleship, so why were there so many things unrelated to combat on this battleship?
While everyone else was resting, Aili noticed that one person was missing.
Fu Hua was not here.
At this moment, Fu Hua was sitting in her room, and in her hand, a golden feather was floating.
This Feather Crossing the Dust was left behind after Jiulin disappeared.
"Sigh." Fu Hua let out a deep sigh, then clenched her fist, and the Feather Crossing the Dust disappeared from her palm.
"Blockhead! So you're here." Xiao Xuan floated in from outside the room.
"What are you doing here? Why don't you go out and join everyone?" Xiao Xuan floated to Fu Hua's side.
"Nothing, just thinking about what I would be like with memories."
"You with memories? Hmm..." Xiao Xuan thought for a moment, "No different from how you are now, still a Blockhead, always needing me to worry about everything for you."
"Is that so?" Fu Hua smiled helplessly.
"Oh, Blockhead, did something hit your head?" Xiao Xuan floated a bit higher and reached out to touch Fu Hua's forehead.
"You're already clumsy, don't get any clumsier." Xiao Xuan carefully circled Fu Hua's head twice.
"I'm fine, I just wonder if I really need to recover my memories." Fu Hua hugged Xiao Xuan and walked outside.
"I don't know why, but I'm a little scared that if I regain my memories, I'll become someone else," Fu Hua said to Xiao Xuan as she walked.
"How could that be? It's all you, what's there to be afraid of?" Xiao Xuan said indifferently.
Fu Hua did not respond to this.
She had such thoughts because she had seen Jiulin.
Jiulin and Black Jilin both had memories, but they were two different people.
She was a little afraid that she herself would also become like Black Jilin.
