I will be updating more slowly from now on.
The new OCs that will appear have the following personalities:
1. Serious when working, but laid-back when not (Power = Life and Death).
2. Arrogant and self-centered (Power = Time and Change).
3. Always smiling, just, and kind (Power = Beginning and End).
and Give names to all three OCs for me.
And I don't know if this item exists in the original story, so don't overthink it.
Even I don't understand what I'm writing right now

In Himeko's room
Kiana: "Hmm, it's delicious, but Senpai Mei's cooking is still better."
V: "Surprising, isn't it? I never expected the Captain to know how to cook."
Captain: "Hey, kid, what do you take me for?"
V: "A playful adult."
The others burst into laughter at his words.
Captain: "Sigh... You little— Never mind, Let's eat first, then we can talk."
V nodded in agreement.
After finishing their meal, Theresa spoke up.
Theresa: "First of all, we want to let you all know that you'll be going on a mission, That includes you too, V."
Mei: "A mission?"
Captain: "Yes, This time it's just a reconnaissance mission in a village where Honkai beasts have been reported to appear."
Bronya: "So, our task is just to investigate and eliminate the threat if necessary?"
Kiana: "But will this guy even be able to handle it?"
She pointed at V.
Himeko: "Yes, the mission is primarily reconnaissance and extermination if needed, As for V, he'll be joining as an engineer to assist in case of emergencies, like if any equipment malfunctions."
V: "I see. . . And how long will the mission take?"
Captain: "The departure is in three days, and the mission itself will last one week."
V touched his chin, deep in thought.
As he was thinking, Mei asked a question.
Mei: "How will we be traveling? Are we taking Hyperion, or do you have another method?"
Theresa: "Good question! We've prepared a special vehicle for you."
She smirked mischievously.
Bronya: "?"
Kiana: "?"
Mei: "?"
The three girls stared at Theresa in confusion.
While they were still wondering,
V who had been deep in thought suddenly spoke up.
V: "Captain, can we talk in private?"
Captain: "?"
Seeing the seriousness in V expression,
the Captain decided to hear him out.
Captain: "Let's head to my office After this."
V nodded and continued eating.

After everyone had finished their meal
As the two of them stood up and left the room, the five girls watched them go with curiosity.
Himeko: "I never expected those two to have a private conversation."
Theresa: "Yeah, that kid hardly ever shows any emotion, and he's never asked for anything before."
The others nodded in agreement, as V had never sought help from anyone since arriving here.
Mei: "I wish he would rely on us a little more."
Kiana: "Eh, it's fine, That guy's smart as hell."
Bronya: "Bronya did not expect the idiot to say something sensible for once."
Kiana: "What did you say, Bratnya? You wanna start something?"
Bronya: "Bronya doubts that an idiot like you could do anything to her."
Before the two could get into an actual fight, Mei stepped in.
Mei: "That's enough, you two." She scolded them lightly.
Theresa: "Oh well, whatever they're talking about, it's probably nothing serious, After all, he's talking to that Captain."
Himeko: "That's true."
She said, taking another sip of alcohol.

In the Captain's Office
V: "It's simpler than I expected."
Captain: "Well, it's an office Decorating it too much wouldn't really help with anything. Besides, if I put up decorations, Kiana who loves barging in uninvited would probably end up breaking them."
V: "That's true."
Ever since getting to know Kiana, I've realized that she has no concept of thinking before acting.
Whether it's opening doors without knocking,sneaking bites of Mei's cooking before it's done,or, worst of all, her overconfidence etc. . .
Captain: "Alright, we can talk about this room later, Let's get to the reason you wanted to speak with me."
The Captain spoke as he walked over to the sofa, gesturing for V to sit on the other side.
V: "Yeah, you're right. Captain, before we start, let me ask you something what do you think of Bronya?"
The Captain raised an eyebrow at the odd question but still answered.
Captain: "Hmm? Well, she's a good kid, She may not show much emotion, but she's disciplined Though, sometimes she acts like a total Homu fanatic But she's not a bad person."
V: "I see… Captain, what if I told you that Bronya is actually a spy sent to capture Mei? What would you do?"
Captain: "Haha… What kind of joke is that?"
He laughed at the ridiculous idea.
But his laughter soon died down when he saw V serious expression.
Captain: "…It's true, isn't it?"
V: "As much as I wish it weren't, it is."
The Captain fell silent for a moment before speaking again.
Captain: "So, you came here just to give me this information? Or is there something else you want from me?"
V: "The answer is both, I need your help in the future but not right now During the upcoming mission, I will make Bronya doubt her orders and betray her superiors."
Captain: "Is that even possible?"
V: "Of course it is, because her true goal is…"

In Himiko's Room
Bronya and Kiana were playing a game
Mei, who was watching Kiana and Bronya play the game
Himiko, who was drinking alcohol,Theresa, who was playing on her phone because there was nothing to do,
And then, when Captain and V entered.
Theresa: "Oh, you're back! What were you two talking about? Why did it take so long?"
Captain: "It's nothing, really V just showed me some of his small inventions."
Himiko: "What kind of inventions are those?"
V, upon hearing that, picked up a small round disc.
V: "This."
Kiana, Bronya, and Mei looked at the disc with curiosity.
Kiana: "What does it do?"
She asked with a bit of curiosity.
V: "It's not much. When you attach it to certain metallic devices, it temporarily disables them within a 1-meter radius. It's not a big device or anything."
Theresa: "Hmm, interesting This kind of thing might be more useful than we think."
V: "It's still in the testing phase If possible, I'd like to extend its range, but because the device is small, it's difficult To increase the range, it would need to be bigger and carrying it around would become a hassle."
Bronya: "I see, Bronya understands now It doesn't have an efficient energy emitter."
V: "Exactly, the energy emitter can't handle large amounts of power, making it a bit tricky to make That's why I asked the Captain for advice, hoping there might be an energy storage system that could be used with this."
Mei: "So, you'd need high-voltage electricity for this, right?"
V: "Yes, once the prototype is stable, I'll ask for your help with the electrical setup, Mei."
Mei: "Understood, When that time comes just ask for my help."
V: "Oh, and Kiana could you take this game and play it? If you don't play this, there's a good chance you'll fail the next exam."
Kiana, who had been silent for a while since she couldn't understand what everyone was talking about, suddenly turned her attention to V, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
Kiana: "A game?! So that means I don't have to study that boring stuff, right?!"
V closed his eyes and pinched the bridge of his nose.
V: "Sometimes, I wonder if you're really 17 years old."
Theresa: "Well, what can you do? It's Kiana after all."
Bronya: "Bronya agrees."
The others nodded in agreement.
Kiana: "Hey, what does that mean? I'm not that stupid, you know! Right, Mei?"
Mei didn't respond and turned her face away to avoid eye contact.
Kiana, seeing this, puffed up her cheeks in slight displeasure.
Kiana: "Just wait and see I'll score high on the next exam!"
Everyone who heard her declaration didn't say anything more, knowing full well how she did during exams.
V sighed and gazed out the window, deep in thought.
V: (Next, I'll need to ask Sakura for help.)
