Reanna, positioned near Kiana, had fruitlessly searched for the operator controlling the dangerous weapons. Deciding to provide support instead, she prioritized protecting vital facilities first.

As she passed a corner, Leona caught sight of a small gray-haired girl with twin spiral curls and delicate features sitting on the ground, expression blank.

"What's wrong? Are you hurt? Do you need help?"

The similar attire and petite appearance led Reanna to instinctively assume this was her Valkyrie comrade.

Although she didn't recognize the little girl before her, with so many Valkyries at the base, aside from a few exceptions with exceptional memory skills, no one could truly know everyone by name.

"Elise... My first kiss... It was supposed to be for Big Sis Elsa... Now it doesn't matter anymore... heh heh heh..."

The fragmented words and the vacant stare directed towards the nearby black enemies sparked a grim narrative in Reanna's mind.

"How dare they defile an innocent maiden's purity! Unforgivable! I'll avenge you!"

With fury burning in her eyes, Reanna charged forward. Unbeknownst to her, behind her back, Bronya emotionlessly stood up, dusted off her skirt, and silently muttered, "So gullible." This was just the beginning.

A trio of Valkyries rushed to assist, but suddenly, a shadow swiftly approached from their flank.

As they merged with Bronie's squad, some of them glanced over and noticed her white skirt, twin camouflage light machine guns, and cute yet expressionless face—they instinctively assumed she was another Valkyrie responding to the call for aid.

"Wow! You're so tiny!"

"I'm not small at all! Bronie is almost an adult now! You are small! Your whole family is small!"

The childlike retorts and insults didn't anger them; instead, their lips curved upward, any lingering doubts vanishing completely.

"How did you come here alone?"

"My idiot captain got blown away by Titan shells, and our communicator is temporarily out of order. So Bronie has to act solo now—saving the world!"

"Pfft! Saving the world?! Ha-ha-ha!"

"You keep laughing, and Bronie will turn you into Swiss cheese first! Why are you all just like that dumb captain?!"

"No, no! We're sorry! How about we stick together for now?"

"Don't slow me down... Some Valkyries who retreated earlier told Bronie that this enemy is quite troublesome—and also a pervert. Already, more than ten Valkyries have been humiliated, losing their will to fight."

"What?!?"

"I heard the lightest violation was just groping their butts and chests; worse cases involved losing their first kiss. The most horrifying scenario: by the time they were carried off, their panties were soaked—though when they mentioned it, their expressions were really odd. Isn't that just peeing out of fear? Sure, embarrassing, but why blush about it? Sometimes Bronie also... Wait, no, Bronie's way past the age of bedwetting! Yeah, definitely past that!"

The girl narrated matter-of-factly, while her listeners' expressions grew increasingly peculiar—a mix of suppressed laughter, anger, and subtle fear.

"Beep!"

The girl who called herself Bronie suddenly stopped, pressed on her earpiece, and frowned slightly. A moment later, she broke into a faint smile again.

"What is it?"

"That idiot captain somehow isn't dead yet, what a pity. Bronie needs to join up with her, so I'm leaving this area to you all."

"...Alright, go ahead. Be careful."

With that, the girl swiftly departed.

Watching her back, several Valkyries exchanged glances.

"How unfortunate! She's such a cute kid, why didn't we get her in our squad? Come to think of it, I never even asked which team she's part of."

"We might have a chance later... That pervert must be taken down by us!"

"That's right! We can't let such an adorable kid like Bronie encounter that creep. Her first time should only be with me!"

"Dream on! It's clearly mine!"

"Stop bickering; focus on the task at hand. Let's discuss this issue again on the skydeck in three days!"

"Captain, even you...?"

"What, I'm allowed to have a thing for young girls, aren't I?!"

Just then, Bronie turned back, expressionless, and stared at them.

"Erm, we were just joking, you know, just kidding around!"

"She talks as weirdly as our idiot captain. Anyway, forget it—where is Laboratory 19? The dumb captain said we're supposed to meet near there, but Bronie has never been."

"In that direction!"

"Great, thanks for the help... Be careful not to get hurt; it really hurts when you do."

"Alright, same goes for you, stay safe!"

The girl departed once more.

Several Valkyries watched her small figure, their faces collectively filled with adoration.

"No way, we need to resolve this incident quickly. That idiot captain doesn't seem any better either; we can't let innocent Bronie fall victim to her antics."

"Yes! Only I deserve to win her over first!"

"Let's move!"

"Hey, did you hear? That enemy seems to be a pervert who enjoys defiling innocent Valkyries."

"What?!?"

"Watch out, everyone. Bronie heard that if you get touched by that enemy, it instantly triggers an orgasm... By the way, what's an 'orgasm'? Does it mean severe injury?"

"If only... Ahem! I meant, resorting to such despicable tactics is truly shameless!"

"You've gotta be careful—apparently just touching her can instantly impregnate you!"

"Captain, that sounds terrifying! Is it true?"

"I don't know, but there's no smoke without fire. If you get pregnant, though, the kid better take my name."

"...Yes, Captain (?o?o?)!"

"You'd all better watch out! I heard that just one glare from Bronie and you'll be pregnant with triplets. Don't fall for it—you'll lose your combat capabilities instantly... Damn it, our idiot captain said only Bronie can't go near her?! How dare they underestimate me—this is infuriating!"

As rumors spread and grew more outrageous by the minute, some Valkyries brimmed with anger, others became anxious, and still others turned to head straight for the frontlines against the Titans.

In short, chaos engulfed the Inner City.

Kiana scrambled to fend off attacks from various Valkyries. Although her black armor protected her from injury, she had long lost any semblance of initial grandeur.

"Real heroes fight one-on-one! If you've got guts, pick someone and duel me!"

"Dream on! You think we'd go solo against a freak like you? Sisters, let's take her down together—for our innocent comrades' chastity!"

"Yeaaah!"

"No wait, what did I do to you all? It's like everyone's gone berserk... Aaaaagh!"

Kiana found herself barely escaping, utterly overwhelmed but managing to tie up many Valkyries nonetheless.

As rumors spread, most of the Valkyries' emotions were thrown into disarray—don't find it hard to believe. While many could rattle off Honkai Beasts' weaknesses without hesitation, when it came to impure topics, only a few dared broach them. In truth, the vast majority were innocent maidens.

These scandalous rumors disrupted at least ninety percent of the Valkyries' composure and logic.

Without coordinated orders, many of their movements became chaotic, allowing Bronya greater freedom to maneuver unnoticed.

"Need backup?"

Sin's voice crackled through Kiana's earpiece, cold yet subtly concerned.

"Nope, I've got this!" Kiana shouted back as she dodged a slash by scrambling away.

It wasn't mere bravado; she couldn't defeat so many Valkyries outright, but they also couldn't truly harm her. Sin's strategic support should be reserved for more critical moments.

Meanwhile, after multiple rounds of questioning, Bronya had successfully narrowed down most suspicious areas. She now stood before the laboratory with the highest likelihood of being her target.

"Halt! Which unit are you from? Where's your identification?"

"The White Heron Squad, B-rank Valkyrie Bronya Brownie. My ID... Huh? Did I drop it on the way? Ugh! Anyway, that idiot captain told me not to join the battle over there and instead defend this important area nearby. That guy still underestimates Bronie!"

Bronya spoke expressionlessly, but her voice carried a clear tone of dissatisfaction despite its youthful lilt.

The Valkyries guarding the door couldn't help but smirk at Bronya's petite frame and distinctly childish voice, finding it amusing.

Through their squad communication devices, they were already aware of the outrageous rumors about the enemy. Now, they could easily imagine what "that idiot captain" was thinking when he gave Bronya orders.

Indeed, if they were in his shoes, erring on the side of caution, they too would have reassigned this adorable little girl away from direct combat.

"Trust me, your captain is doing this for your own good."

"No way! Bronie would never pee her pants out of fear! I'm not scared of haunted houses!"

"Pfft!"

"What're you laughing at?!" Bronya pointed her gun menacingly at them, but all it did was make the Valkyries tremble with suppressed laughter, their eyes softening like doting aunties.

Bronya gritted her teeth as a blush crept across her face, reddening from sheer frustration.

"One by one, you're just as bad as that idiotic captain! Bronie's going inside to set up defenses and won't waste time with you numbskulls, hmph!"

With a scowl, Bronya charged past the Valkyries, her weapon raised. Unhindered, she swiftly disappeared behind the research facility's entrance.

After a moment, outside, the Valkyries burst into uncontrollable laughter.

"Hahaha! How can there be such an adorable kid?"

"She...she...ha ha ha...isn't her name Bronie?"

"Oh, right, I know about her. My teammate encountered her too; yes, they were definitely sent away by her captain and team...I bet they felt quite helpless, huh?"

"No, no, no—it must have been delightful instead! With such a cute child, why isn't she on my team?"

"My teammates ran into her too—they said the same thing."

"I know, right? So jealous..."

As they chatted, they also kept watch for any potential Anti-Entropy attacks.

Little did they suspect that just behind the door, Bronya stood with gun at hand as her white dress transformed into pitch-black battle armor—nearly identical to Kiana's outfit outside.

"Hmph, this is far too easy," Bronya muttered coldly before stepping inside the research facility.
