"You have made great progress, Seele" Mei wiped the katana in her hand and looked at Seele in front of her.
"Should I say thank you for the compliment?" Black Seele, who was holding a scythe, had a somewhat stiff expression.
If it were only Mei, she would not be so cowardly.
Although she has never won a fight, she has never been a coward either.
However, the problem is that right now, right by her side, Project Bunny is prepared.
Something like a laser cannon or a missile is pointing directly at her.
Why are you looking at me!
Aren't we comrades from the orphanage?
Mei is clearly a third party who came between us!
Shouldn't we, as sisters, unite to expel this third party?
"Bronya... could you move Project Bunny away?"
Besides, isn't Project Bunny also a product of her own?
"And Mei-neechan... is it really okay for you to leave that idiot Kiana there?"
The current situation is more or less like this: Kiana is facing fifty Titan mechs all by herself.
While Mei and Bronya are on the other side, fighting two against one.
So Black Seele really wants to ask, are they sure it is okay to leave Kiana there just to block?
Could she defeat fifty Titan mechs?
"Anyway, it is just a matter of hitting them a little harder" Mei said indifferently.
Although everyone is fighting, they are not killing each other.
In fact, Mei believes she should be more worried about Wendy, who was beaten unconscious.
Who knows if the Titan mechs will kick her a few times in the chaos.
But then she thought about it again, and a Herrscher's vitality meant that even if a Titan stepped on her a few times, it should not be a big deal.
Although Wendy was knocked unconscious, her injuries were not serious.
"By the way, Seele, does Brother Tian know you came here this time?" Mei asked about the important matter.
"Of course he knows" Black Seele nodded.
"My brother is enjoying himself in the arms of the strongest Schicksal Valkyrie, completely oblivious to everything else"
Bronya and Mei: "????"
Is someone raiding our house?
Isn't Himeko with him?
"Sister Seele, tell me in detail how you were so happy that you forgot about home"
Mei's attitude improved instantly, and she even added the word "little sister" after her name.
The katana she had drawn was sheathed again.
With Mei's kind expression, it looked as if it had never been drawn.
"The most powerful Schicksal Valkyrie... if I remember correctly, her name is Durandal, right? So, Seele, do you know her?" Bronya also turned off the cannon in silence.
"..."
With two older sisters like these, what am I supposed to do?
Black Seele could not help but twitch her lips while looking at the two people who were so changeable.
"Of course I have seen her"
Although she harbored considerable resentment toward her two irredeemably pragmatic older sisters, Black Seele nodded anyway.
"Her figure is as good as Mei's"
"..."
Mei's lips twitched.
"Her personality is adorable and innocent, like my sister Bronya" Bronya fixed the protective plates on Project Bunny.
"And she hugged my brother tightly, not letting anyone from the outside touch him"
Black Seele seemed to have completely forgotten that she had just called the other person "Bianca-neechan".
"Her temperament is heroic and handsome, similar to Sister Fu Hua"
Black Seele looked around, but she did not see Fu Hua.
After all, they had played against each other several times and Seele knew Fu Hua.
The fact that no pressure was applied left Black Seele a little disappointed.
Fine, there are only two people in front of me, so let us pressure them.
"In short, she is a super boss!"
"That sounds a bit bad"
Despite saying it was terrible, Mei calmed down.
She was not stupid; after thinking for a moment, she realized that Black Seele's words seemed to have some hidden motives.
After all, although each point seemed important, the whole... did not seem to say anything useful except to pressure them both.
That brat is up to no good...
"Yes, yes, it is terrible, right? And besides, she is good at fighting"
"I see... By the way, is Himeko-sensei nearby?" Mei asked with a smile, unsheathing the sword from her waist as if it were nothing.
"Uh... yes"
"Then there is no problem" Mei took a pose and a smile spread across her face.
"Anyway, compared to leaving Himeko-sensei and my brother alone, it is not bad to have a stranger watching"
Mei's words made Bronya realize what was going on.
Oh yes, does that actually sound quite good?
"..."
Does this approach work?
Black Seele twisted the corner of her mouth.
This reaction was completely different from what she had imagined.
Shouldn't they be furious and chase after Durandal?
But putting herself in Mei's shoes, Black Seele felt that Mei's idea was actually not a problem.
If she were in that situation, she would probably choose the same thing, wouldn't she?
After all, it is better for two people to check and balance each other than for one person to have it all.
But the problem is that there is nothing to distract them right now, so what about me?
Black Seele turned her head silently to look at Bronya.
Sure enough, Project Bunny raised its cannon again.
"Feel your sisters' love!"
"Hahahaha! I get to keep the Fourth Herrscher and these two Valkyries!"
With a bump on her forehead, Black Seele sat inside the mecha and laughed wildly.
Thanks to Seele, she was not really beaten black and blue; she only received a symbolic bump on her face.
"Mei! Bronya!"
Kiana looked with bloodshot eyes at the three people held in the hands of the Titan robot.
"Put them down right now!"
"No! If you tell me to let go, I will let go? Wouldn't that make me look bad?"
Black Seele said with great disgust, but this disgust was not directed at Kiana.
She wanted to let go, but... she did not want to have another lump on her head.
These two are really putting on this kind of show just because they miss home...
You guys are something special.
Fortunately, more than forty of the fifty Titan mechs are still operational.
So even if it is just for show, it is no big deal.
Black Seele ordered the mechanized unit to fire a symbolic volley, then abandoned Kiana and left.
Kiana was eager to charge, but these mechs...
"Kiana, calm down! Return to the Hyperion immediately, we are going to chase them" Theresa's voice rang out at just the right time.
Kiana was not sure if it was just her imagination, but she felt that Theresa's expression seemed a bit strange.
"Okay! I will be right back! We cannot allow these guys to take Mei and Bronya like that!"
Kiana watched the mechanical unit pull away and said with a face full of resentment.
"..." Theresa seemed to want to say something but could not.
After all, apart from Mei and Bronya doing something out of the ordinary, she was quite happy to see this situation unfold.
And then again, she felt she knew what Mei and Bronya were planning.
After all, she is just a child, so it is normal for her to miss home; of course, she is no longer a child!
"Please excuse their poor acting, Bianca" Himeko, who had watched everything from a high point, could not help but put her hand to her face.
"These children are really causing trouble"
"I think this kind of pure friendship is great... I regret more and more not choosing to come to St. Freya"
Perhaps if I had come here back then I would not have become such a boring adult now.
But... do I really regret it?
Bianca shook her head at this thought.
No, I do not regret it. Both Rita and the memories of the World Bubble are precious to me.
"Innocent...?"
Himeko's expression was a bit strange hearing this evaluation.
No, no, no, these girls have absolutely nothing to do with the word "innocence", okay?
Especially that brat Mei, whom he has played with much more than I, a single woman, have ever played!
Although I really want to complain this way, I must save my students' faces in front of strangers.
After all, she was her student.
Even though her condition had nothing to do with her teaching, it would be bad if the word got out and people misunderstood her.
She is still a virgin... although everyone else is too.
Wait a minute, doesn't this 26-year-old look a bit out of place?
I suddenly thought why the captain couldn't take it anymore and ran away.
This is truly a bitter life experience.
"In that case, I will go back and report" Bianca, seeing that the battlefield was already over, did not stop.
After all, the battlefield was over, the hurricane and the sound of artillery had subsided, and she had no reason to stay any longer.
Staying here could give people something to talk about.
"That girl is already a qualified soldier" Bianca's decisive actions made Himeko realize this.
"No wonder the captain has his sights on her... Wait! Damn! I forgot to tell her about the captain!"
Himeko sighed and then thought about it again...
"If I told the captain how Bianca looks now, he would be very happy, wouldn't he?"
"Ufff... It has been more than two years since I came home"
Standing in front of the ME Company building, Mei looked at her own... or rather, the familiar black mechanical architectural style of Anti-Entropy, and felt quite nostalgic.
"By the way, does my dad work at the ME Company?" Looking at Seele, who had logged back into her account, Mei asked casually.
"Uncle Ryoma... should he be here?" Seele asked uncertainly.
"But Mom Cocolia is at the ME Company"
Bronya's eyes lit up when she heard Cocolia's name, but Mei sighed instead.
"This situation is a bit like if Dad made a mistake again and was kicked out, and then Aunt Cocolia came to take over temporarily"
"..."
Do you have so little faith in your dad?
"If I remember correctly, the first reason Uncle Ryoma was kicked out was because of you, Mei-neechan, right?" Bronya retorted without holding back.
"Is... is that true?" Mei turned her head guiltily.
"Let us not talk about these trifles, let us go in first and talk about it, also bring Wendy and let Aunt Cocolia see Dr. Magi"
Trivial matters...
Bronya and Seele could only nod in silence when they heard Mei say that.
Well, what can be done when the father is kind-hearted and the daughter is filial?
After saying that, Mei led Bronya and Seele to the ME Club, while Wendy was guided by Project Bunny.
Having a robot is really convenient.
Mei had barely set foot inside the doors of ME Company when an alarm was immediately triggered.
"The princess is back!"
"Before he left, the boss said to hold back the princess and not let her go"
"I do not think we can resist Her Highness the Princess..."
"Yes, didn't the princess tie up the boss last time?"
"So, does that mean we should support the princess as the boss? Anyway, it does not matter?"
"Um... that makes sense" Hearing the noise on the radio, Mei could not help but put her hand to her face.
The alarm that went off when she entered startled her.
In an instant, she imagined all kinds of political struggles, the change of ownership of the ME Company, and that she had fallen into a trap.
But hearing the voice on the radio...
Well, in a way, ME Company really is about to change hands.
Although it seems easy for her to get it.
Wait a minute, doesn't this confirm her reputation as a loving father and filial daughter?
This is unacceptable, unacceptable...
"Do not listen to the nonsense of those bastards"
At that moment, the elevator doors of the ME Company opened and a somewhat assertive female voice was heard.
"It has been a long time, Princess Mei" Nancy Edison stepped out of the elevator with a smile, a smile tinged with a hint of mockery.
The nickname "Princess"... that is what they called her.
Although compared to Mei, when people called her Princess Nancy back then, it was more of a sarcastic remark.
In fact, in a way, I have a real connection with this girl.
"What are you saying? Sister Edison, it really has been a long time"
Mei nodded with a wry smile, while also making a slight gesture to the person behind Edison.
"Long time no see, Aunt Cocolia"
"Long time no see, Mei, you have taken very good care of my Bronya these last two years"
Cocolia stood behind Edison, without airs of grandeur, and smiled at Mei like a real neighbor aunt.
"No, no, Bronya is also very reliable..."
Even in the face of Anti-Entropy, the elders and the younger generations still exchange compliments like ordinary people.
Although Bronya's expression is not very good.
After all, in Cocolia's words, she was portrayed as the one who had always been cared for.
Mei's balanced and elegant response made Cocolia's smile even brighter.
"Ah, okay, Mei, here is a Katana, consider it your New Year's gift for the next two years"
Cocolia handed Mei a katana that evoked a familiar and touching feeling within her.
"Uh... this is..." This power is so familiar it is almost like...
"MagStorm: A katana tailor-made for you, based on the experimental data you left behind. Even without entering the Herrscher state, when the Honkai energy particles in the katana's electromagnetic field explode, it can launch an attack comparable to your Herrscher form"
"This... this is too valuable"
"This katana was made just for you, so there is no doubt about its value, consider it as your New Year's gift for the next two years" Cocolia smiled softly.
"You already did all the work well done"
Edison shook her head with a wry smile.
"Then I will also give you a Katana, although Tesla made it while she was having a fit"
