"O! M! G! Senti, Lailah! So nice to see you again!" I screamed with joy and ran towards them. Then, I gave them a big hug. We were at the Giga Mall and met up with my besties, Senti and Lailah.

"Long time, no see, Piggy brat! I thought you gained weight," Senti giggled.

"Excuse me! I always took a lot of exercises and diet, you old-time scammer! Hmph!" I made an angry puff face, folded my arms, and shook my head.

Lailah chuckled. "Senti, Tyro, be nice. I'm glad that we meet again. We didn't get in touch after our graduation."

"Yeah, right. Anyway, what should we do?" Senti asked.

"How about at the karaoke bar? They have drinks and grilled BBQs," I suggested.

"Great idea. As long as it's not alcoholic drinks," Lailah reminded.

"And we can kick the perverts' asses," Senti laughed.

Senti, Lailah, and I were classmates from St. Freya in our high school years. At first, I met Lailah when Papa Bear and I visited Mr. Welt about the Honkai-related case. We became best friends as we enjoyed inventing gadgets, playing tea parties with our dolls, and fashion. She was the caring big sister who gave reasonable advice when I got into trouble about new experiences or missions. She was the only one who created the hunter outfit and armors that I wore in my maverick hunting missions.

She worked as the captain of the Hyperion and engineer. She had mid-length dark blue hair with light blue highlights. Her hair had some bangs and was tied into a bun. Her eyes were blue. She wore feminine and mature clothes, like a businesswoman or an elegant woman. She like dark colors, especially black and dark blue. One thing that she doesn't like was pieces of jewelry. They were quite annoyed with her when she was wearing those at work or on missions. So, she only wore them on special occasions like charity balls or elegant parties.

The second was Senti. She was the rebellious troublemaker in the class. Our first meeting wasn't nice as I bought the night vision goggles from her and turned out to be a scam with the fake one. We fought each other in the sim battle simulator with our Honkai abilities. I was surprised at first that she was stronger than me but I won the fight that I learned from Papa Bear's training and sense of Honkai energy. Senti and I got punished by our principal as we did community service. Luckily, we became fast friends and worked on every mission and school with Lailah.

After graduation, Senti didn't join the Schicksal because she wanted to be free. They didn't force and let her be. She spent her time in the world as a traveler for 2 years but she still did mischievous schemes on people and used her illusions as an escape route until she got arrested by Lailah. Lailah paid the victims and fixed Senti's mistakes. To repay them, she forced Senti to rejoin Schicksal as an S-rank Valkyrie. Senti didn't mind because she trusted her and her missions were very easy for her. After she completed her debt, she decided to stay with Lailah and worked as a freelance Valkyrie.

Unlike her twin sister, Fu Hua, her style was Chinese style with a hint of rock punk. She had long grey hair and red eyes. She was pretty tomboyish that she preferred pants and went freely in combat.

As for tonight, we celebrated with each other in the private room in the karaoke bar. We ate a lot of food, drinks and sang out loud to our hearts' content. It was like back from my high school days. While we enjoyed ourselves and sat on the sofas to take a break, I told them about my situation and showed them the photos of my co-workers and friends.

"Damn! Those Honkai and mavericks are insane. Even, though Odette and Odie did some dramatic, betrayal shit. At least, your dad and the maverick hunters fixed the other situation," Senti was surprised as she ate a BBQ.

"I can't believe that some people used the Honkai virus or creatures for their desires. Where did they come from anyway?" Lailah asked.

"According to Papa Bear, they came from Sigma before the Red Alert Syndicate. They thought it was over in two years but they returned. After I eliminated Sigma, we're still cleaning up his shits," I replied as I took a sip of strawberry sunrise.

"Good thing he's dead as hell. I'm pretty sure it went smooth since the final boss is gone," Senti commented as she lay down on the sofa.

"Not really… Papa Bear said that they will be more Herrscher cores out there. If the cores are found by the wrong hands, we're fucked," I added.

"True. I didn't want it to happen, just like the Honkai Eruptions and wars. If you need help, Senti and I can help you," Lailah smiled as she offered a helping hand. Yup! She was always my 'big sis'. :3

"I agreed. I want to see more in your world. And don't worry, I won't do some schemes," Senti reminded.

"Are you sure?" I pouted.

"Maaaaaaybeee?" Senti replied with a goofy smile and stick her tongue out.

All of us laughed as we continued our fun.

"You're next, Tyro. Oh! How about 'Cheap Thrills' in Pitch Perfect version?" Lailah asked.

"Tyro goes solo? Nah! I want to rap too. We can dance like bitches here!" Senti cheered.

"We're in the private room after all! Let's gooooo!" I got up and selected the music at the karaoke machine. We grabbed our microphones and began to sing.
