Chapter 76: Himeko = Social Reject?
[Kiana and the trio finally find Wendy using the location coordinates. Wendy is furious at their relentless pursuit. She is the Herrscher of world destruction, yet she is being chased by three B-rank Valkyries.
"I already let you go. Are you so arrogant as to think you can defeat me?"
Wendy floats in the air, watching them coldly.
Mei, seeing that communication is impossible, can only inform Wendy that Schicksal HQ has already dispatched an S-rank Valkyrie and Anti-Entropy's troops, hoping this will persuade Wendy to go back with them.
But Wendy is fearless. Hearing that an S-rank Valkyrie possesses power comparable to a Herrscher's, she is eager to fight one to test if her own power has already surpassed that of an S-rank!
"You're even more arrogant than I am. If you've got the guts, fight me first," Kiana steps forward, pointing at Wendy and declaring that she was just careless before. If she got serious, defeating a Herrscher would be a simple matter.
Kiana doesn't know the gap between a B-rank Valkyrie and a Herrscher, but Wendy does. She reverts to her original form. She doesn't want to fight Kiana, nor does she want to make Bronya sad.
After a warning, Wendy flies away again.
Himeko's communication connects again. In two minutes, the S-rank Valkyrie Durandal will arrive in New Zealand, and Anti-Entropy's floating warship is also approaching.
"Damn it, are we too late!"
Kiana's unwilling voice sounds out at the same time as a faint explosion.
Theresa's communication suddenly cuts in. She tells them not to worry. She has just broadcasted Durandal's location on a public channel, and she believes that with Anti-Entropy's technology, they will definitely intercept her broadcast.
After getting Durandal's location, Anti-Entropy will certainly choose to prioritize a sneak attack on the S-rank Valkyrie.]
In Otto and Kallen's little love nest.
Theresa, being held by Kallen, feels a bit embarrassed. After all, deliberately leaking a teammate's position to the enemy was not a very honorable thing to do.
Otto, however, seems to have a different conclusion. He comments, "A very clever move. Using the enemy to buy time for yourself. This 'diverting the disaster eastward' tactic is quite good. Seeing little Theresa so wise, I am very pleased."
Kallen holds Theresa and moves a little further away from Otto. It is precisely because of this that she doesn't let Otto teach Theresa.
...
In the front row, a few of the aunties who had watched Durandal grow up, Shabu, ask curiously, "Is little Bianca really that straightforward in real life?"
Rita, formerly the vice-captain of the Immortal Blades, nods in agreement and says with a smile, "Lady Bianca is indeed this straightforward now. I quite like straightforward people like her."
Patrick exclaims, "I have to say, as expected of Director Cecilia's daughter. She has perfectly inherited the director's personality."
"Is Senior Cecilia the same as Lady Bianca?" Rita asks curiously.
Himeko also quietly pricks up her ears. She is also very curious about this genius girl who became a high-level executive of the Schicksal organization at the age of twenty.
Even Kiana and the others in the row behind pause their discussion.
At the mention of this, Shabu, Patrick, and Cheng Lixue are all trying to hold back their laughter. Only Salome can still speak. "That would have to be mentioned..."
[Theresa successfully deceives the S-rank Valkyrie Durandal and also gets a virtual kiss from Kiana. Although she has bought them time, Kiana is still a little disappointed that she won't get to see the S-rank Valkyrie.
Theresa thinks that if the current Kiana were to meet Durandal, there would only be one outcome. Knowing that Kiana's theory exam scores were failing, she would definitely force her to read for at least 26 hours a day.
Kiana shivers, suddenly not wanting to see the S-rank Valkyrie anymore.
Hearing Theresa know the S-rank Valkyrie so well, Kiana can't help but be curious about their relationship.
"Uh... I wouldn't say we're very close. At the time, she had just become an A-rank Valkyrie and had accepted my command here once."
Kiana doesn't see the cold sweat on Theresa's forehead and teases her, asking if their relationship is that of a very close superior and subordinate.
Hearing this, Theresa recalls the days when she worked with Durandal and can't help but feel a wave of fear.
For the extremely serious Durandal, a superior should be stern and majestic. They should be working day and night to handle unfinished business. As a result, every time Theresa slacked off a little, she would be lectured by Durandal for half a day.
Kiana is a little glad. Fortunately, her superior is someone like Himeko, who just slacks off and waits for death.
Himeko, who had been ignored by everyone, suddenly pops up, stating that she is still on the communication channel.]
"Slacking off and waiting for death? You don't have to put it that way about me," Himeko says helplessly.
"Himeko, if you drank a little less, I could agree," Kiana says with her hands on her hips. "But now, besides class, you spend all your time cooped up in the dorm, and you get dead drunk every day. You're practically a social reject."
"Hey, hey, hey, who's the teacher here, you or me?" Himeko can't refute her and can only use her status as a teacher to pressure Kiana.
"Alright, Teacher Himeko, you have been a bit of a shut-in these past few days," Mei steps in to say a fair word.
"But speaking of which, if big sis knew I failed my last exam, would she really make me read for 26 hours a day like in the plot?" Kiana imagines the scene and suddenly feels that death would be preferable.
"Want to try? Little Kiana," Shigure Kira, who loves to stir up trouble, takes out her phone, opens Durandal's chat interface, turns her head, and says to Kiana.
"Big Sis Kira, please don't tell my big sis!" Kiana clasps her hands together.
Big Sis Kira?
Hearing this title, Salome, Patrick, and Cheng Lixue all look at Shigure Kira with disdain. Big Sis? More like old aunty. When Kiana was still in elementary school, you had already joined the Schicksal organization.
And you're still acting young here?!
"Kiraro, have you ever thought about it? If Kiana calls you 'big sis,' you'd be a generation younger than Yaqing for no reason," Patrick says, tearing down her facade.
Shigure Kira's smile freezes.
[On the way to pursue Wendy, Theresa's communication comes through again, informing Kiana that Anti-Entropy's troops have been dealt with by Durandal. But now there's a new problem. Durandal has only told Theresa her location.
"So, Principal, it's wrong to lie," Mei says.
Theresa is in a panic. Without a reasonable explanation, although Durandal wouldn't report it to headquarters, she would definitely lecture Theresa for a whole day.
"Mmm, it's none of my business anyway~"
Himeko's attitude of not getting involved makes Theresa very angry.
Mei thinks of an excuse. It must be an Anti-Entropy spy within Schicksal who leaked the location. But Theresa vetoes it, because that would cause chaos within Schicksal.
Bronya also thinks of an excuse. Anti-Entropy is the main cause of this eruption, and their goal is to ambush the S-rank Valkyrie, so she was marked as soon as she appeared.
Perhaps because Bronya is still holding a grudge about being controlled last time, she unhesitatingly throws all the blame on Anti-Entropy.
But Theresa still vetoes it, because the loopholes in this excuse are too big. If the mission was to ambush an S-rank Valkyrie, then this Anti-Entropy unit's combat strength is severely insufficient.
Finally, Kiana proposes an excuse, and it's the most ridiculous one.
Anti-Entropy's troops were here on vacation and just happened to run into Durandal.
"This excuse of yours, not even a tuna would believe it!" Himeko scoffs.
But Theresa has to try anything, like a desperate person trying any remedy. A few seconds later, Theresa's incredibly surprised voice comes from the other end of the communication. "She actually believed it! Could it be that overly straightforward people are actually the same as idiots?"
Kiana is still happy, but soon realizes something is wrong.
"Wait, who are you calling an idiot!"]
"As expected of real sisters," Bronya thinks. Both her and Mei's excuses were more normal than Kiana's, but the principal chose Kiana's, and Durandal actually believed it.
"I knew big sis and I were connected at heart!" Kiana is very happy.
Bronya glances at Kiana. The tuna still hasn't figured it out.
