Chapter 65: I Get It! Waluo’s Stand Ability Is to Spray Sunscreen!

[Holy Relic Recovery] — as one of the special in-game event activities, it carries no danger or difficulty at all.

As long as you successfully participate, you can get a free chance to obtain a Holy Relic from the main perspective.

Compared to certain big-budget games where pity guarantees still fail, this is on a completely different level.

It was precisely because of the “no danger” factor that Valo chose to sneak here without telling Finney or Kaika.

With the Demon Seed and Spirit Pearl no longer interfering, she would have plenty of chances to stabilize her daughter Anqi’s mindset.

And so—

After a leisurely day that felt no different from sightseeing, Valo and her group arrived at the handover location for this Holy Relic recovery mission—the coastal city “Aviation Port” in the southern part of the Havoc Empire’s Imperial Capital.

Blue waves crashed against the shoreline, and the salty sea breeze swept across the air harbor.

In the game, Aviation Port is a functional tourist city—it handles the Empire’s airship transportation while also developing tourism.

Massive airships dock beside the port every few days.

Simple—map teleportation.

How could a high-quality triple-A nurturing game lack the classic feature of fast travel?

And the opportunity Valo had been waiting for soon arrived.

On the day of arrival, at the local Hidden Sea Church branch—

After arranging the place as their temporary residence, the Sister Superior in the meeting room announced sudden news to everyone.

“The Holy Relic handover was originally scheduled for tomorrow by the elves. However, due to storm conditions forcing their airship to stop, the handover will likely be delayed by two or three days.”

After a pause, she glanced at Valo, who had lowered her head. “Lady Varo, are you paying attention?”

“Sir, yes sir!?”

At that moment, Valo was desperately controlling her expression.

A storm?

Well done. Truly well done.

She had been worried whether one night would be enough to stabilize her Saintess daughter’s Justice Value.

Now that she had a few extra days, it was practically champagne-worthy.

Don’t laugh. Absolutely do not laugh.

So when Anqi hesitantly forced a smile and spoke—

“S-Sister Superior, since the elves will be delayed, perhaps we should head back first…”

Valo immediately interrupted.

“Anqi, if we go back now, we’ll barely have time to sit before setting off again.”

She could see through the Saintess, who sat farthest away and avoided eye contact—hmph, trying to run?

With the advantage firmly in her hands, she had no intention of letting go.

“Besides, it’s Victory Day holiday these days. Why don’t we just stay here and wait a few days? I’m a bit curious too!”

“On the way here, I saw many tourists heading to the beach in groups.”

Valo blinked her bright purple eyes like a little mother. “Anqi, is this some famous attraction?”

“Can you show Mom around?”

Seeing the girl try to seek help from the Sister Superior, fail, and finally nod at her with a forced smile, Valo felt utterly satisfied.

Hmph~ Anqi, even you have a day like this?

Her “curiosity” was just an act. In reality—

Aviation Port was practically her second home.

Valorant had three great features: raising daughters, conquering the world, and… fanservice CG.

And when it comes to fanservice, how could there be no beach?

As one of the Empire’s tourist cities, Aviation Port has the largest beach—and the most impactful seaside CGs in the game.

Different daughters wearing cute, pure, or sexy swimsuits, playing by the sea. Occasionally, other daughters would appear as cameos.

Sometimes even the main perspective would flash swimsuit shots. The white-haired loli Demon King mom’s swimsuit might be flat, but to certain audiences, it was top-tier perfection.

Feeding play, water play, applying sunscreen to daughters—all were excellent ways to increase Favorability.

In her past life, Valo might have missed endings, but she never missed a single beach CG event.

A true veteran.

So, the next day at noon—

The clear sky made the ocean beyond the beach even bluer, while the blazing sun paired perfectly with the golden sand.

At this moment, the Sister Superior—wearing a dark blue one-piece swimsuit—had already set up a beach umbrella and secured a great seaside spot.

Her long legs and soft curves made Valo, who stood with hands on her hips, click her tongue in annoyance.

Tch. Didn’t expect that invisible ghost to have such a good figure.

Just as the Sister Superior finished setting up—

The other two girls finally appeared in swimsuits.

Emma, the pink puppy, immediately bounced over, practically wagging her tail. Her light pink bikini highlighted her cuteness and energy.

“Wow! Demon—uh, Teacher Valo, your swimsuit is so cute! Your white twin tails match the black swimsuit perfectly!”

“Your skin is so pale! Your legs look so smooth! Can I squat down and lick them?”

“The black lace is so delicate! Where did you buy it yesterday? Oh, can I tug this ribbon?”

Bonk.

Valo smashed her fist onto Emma’s head.

This pink idiot just had to bring up painful memories—like how this “cute swimsuit” was bought from the children’s section.

Especially since the clerk saw nothing wrong with it.

“I swear you think you’re a dog. Go play somewhere else!”

She shoved Emma aside and turned her gaze to her target today—Anqi.

The white bikini made the Saintess shine brilliantly. Her golden hair shimmered in the sunlight, covering her small wings.

Without needing to emphasize anything, her youthful figure was already perfectly proportioned.

Valo couldn’t help but think—why didn’t anyone mention this earlier?

Seeing holiness and allure combined in one person was far better than any CG.

But Anqi was clearly avoiding her, staying close to the Sister Superior and stealing glances from afar.

One arm covered her chest, her posture shy and tense.

Valo quickly called Emma back—correction: she needed the pink puppy as cover.

After giving instructions, she smoothly took the Sister Superior’s place and approached Anqi.

Before Anqi could escape, Valo stepped in front of her.

“Anqi? Don’t go. Look at the sun—you might get tanned.”

“Did you apply sunscreen? Let Mom help you.”

She took out the “signature item” from the game.

Applying sunscreen to daughters—one of the best ways to increase Favorability.

More importantly, it allowed heartfelt conversations.

Valo wouldn’t miss this chance.

After some insistence, Anqi finally lay down awkwardly.

Her flawless body was fully exposed, her curves pressing into the sand.

Valo sat on her thighs, squeezed out sunscreen, and slowly applied it to her back.

The moment her hands touched Anqi’s waist—

“Ah!”

The girl trembled slightly.

“Mom… your technique feels strange. You’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you?”

Valo didn’t deny it.

Of course she was.

Back then, when Anqi treated her like that—had she thought about today?

Now the positions were reversed.

But just as she was about to continue teasing—

She noticed something.

Anqi’s Justice Value had dropped again.

Eighty percent.

Valo immediately calmed down.

She wasn’t here for revenge.

She needed to stabilize Anqi.

Taking a breath, she admitted, “Yes, I did it on purpose.”

“Mom… that’s too much…”

“But if I didn’t, you wouldn’t talk to me. You’ve been avoiding me.”

“……”

Anqi fell silent.

As Valo continued applying sunscreen, Anqi finally spoke softly.

“I’m sorry, Mom… after that incident, I needed time to think about how we should interact.”

“Our relationship… wasn’t normal to begin with.”

“The kinder you are, the more I doubt myself…”

Here it comes.

“I promise I won’t expose your identity.”

“So maybe… we don’t need to continue this mother-daughter relationship.”

Valo couldn’t accept that.

This relationship was essential.

She gently refused.

“Anqi, I’ve already forgiven you. There’s no need to blame yourself.”

“This relationship is precious to me. Let’s just move forward normally—”

Before she could finish—

“How can it be normal…?”

Anqi suddenly stood up.

“Mom… I need to pick some flowers. I’ll be back later with the others.”

And just like that, she disappeared into the crowd.

Valo froze.

Because on the panel—

Anqi’s Justice Value had dropped again.

Seventy-five percent.

Valo was stunned.

Why did her attempt to comfort her backfire?

Everything she said should have worked.

So why did Anqi react like that?

What did it mean?
