Everything was a blur.
Mei had charged the pig; it was as if love had been betrayed.
Kiana felt like her territory was being dug away, spade by spade, by that Blondie.
But no matter what she thought, no matter what happened, life had to go on.
Bronya remained aloof, taking a prime spectator seat to enjoy the drama up close. Kiana looked at the cloyingly sweet damned couple, viciously pondering how to break them up.
She couldn't help but be anxious. It didn't matter that she had lost her two external thinking organs; she still had a backup.
"Bronya, quick, help me think of something! My Mei is about to leave me!"
"..." The Russian loli tilted her head, her expression calm, not quite understanding the white-haired fluffball's possessive pronoun.
When did Raiden Mei become *yours*? Shouldn't it be the other way around, that you're Raiden Mei's pet?
A mere pet trying to break up its owner's relationship—wasn't this an act of rebellion?
Be that as it may, Bronya didn't show what she was thinking.
After all, Kaslana's monstrous strength was well-known. One wrong word and she might get caught in a Maiden-Embracing Kill.
Bronya replied perfunctorily, "You could try monogamy."
"..." Kiana: "???"
How dare you, you Russian loli, trying to push me into a pit of fire!
Kiana was furious. "Bronya, if you don't help me, I'll..."
"..." Bronya didn't sense the impending danger.
In any case, with this paramecium's intellect, she couldn't come up with any good ideas. And with her abilities, there was no way she could deliver herself to the Inner World Protagonist's big bed.
No rush. She wasn't worried at all.
But from an angle she didn't notice, Kiana, who was about to speak, triggered Kaslana's world-shocking wisdom. For the sake of her future happiness, she thought of a brilliant plan.
And so she said, "Bronya, if you don't help me, I'll set your sister up with that guy!"
"!!!" Bronya was struck by lightning, her Berserk Button thoroughly pushed.
Messing with her was one thing; she was a mature adult who had killed more people than Kiana had eaten of the young Brian. The key was that her sister, Seele Vollerei, was still a minor, with a naive and romantic personality.
If that guy fulfilled his promise to her and rescued Seele from the Sea of Quanta, and then with this big worm playing matchmaker...
A hero saving the damsel, handsome, an Inner World Protagonist...
For Seele, who lacked experience with 'society', it might very well be a fatal blow.
Instantly, Bronya's eyes turned dangerous.
"Kiana, you are playing with fire!"
Woman, you're playing with fire, and you'll pay the price!
But Kiana didn't care. Even if it was a cup of poisoned wine, she had to drink it.
"My Mei is about to fall apart! I don't care about anything else," Kiana declared righteously.
"Since you want to play with fire, then I'll play along, woman!" Overbearing CEO Bronya Zaychik, making her grand debut!
"Good that you know what's best for you."
Bronya had to compromise, temporarily submitting to Kiana's tyranny. The two began to conspire in loud whispers.
Raiden Mei and Brian, still in their lovey-dovey bubble, looked at each other and smiled. Brian remarked, "They have such a good relationship."
...
On the bridge...
Theresa, who had seemingly left, was actually keeping a close eye on the group of four, with Judah on standby.
If anything unusual happened, she, the Judah-launcher, would fulfill her duty and go on a rampage with the Divine Key.
Fortunately, everything was peaceful, and nothing happened.
The Herrscher didn't come out to wreak havoc, and the Immortal Blades had been sent away.
Aside from the Herrscher of the Void's sudden awakening, which gave everyone a scare, nothing major occurred.
Theresa took a sip of bitter melon juice, her delicate little face gradually relaxing. "It's great to be young."
Beside her, Murata Himeko came over, quite tactlessly interrupting her superior. "Theresa, I think you should make proper arrangements for these kids."
"..."
She hadn't even had a moment to breathe before new work was forced upon her.
But considering the situation with these kids...
Theresa pondered for a moment. "Let them all enroll in St. Freya High School. We're not short on funds."
Whether they had the qualifications to become a Valkyrie or a Knight, it wouldn't hurt to take them in first.
"As for their accommodation..."
A Herrscher, of course, must be treated with the highest level of security.
"Himeko, contact Fu Hua for me."
"Alright."
Just as she finished speaking, a whirlwind of a figure rushed onto the bridge and shamelessly started cozying up to her great aunt.
It didn't matter that they had just confirmed their relation; what mattered was preventing that Blondie from having any designs on Raiden Mei.
Kiana, being the one asking for a favor, had an exceptionally bright smile, as if a tail was wagging behind her.
"Great Aunt, there's something I need your help with."
Theresa: "Go ahead. As long as it's within my power, I'll definitely grant your request."
Kiana's smile was as radiant as a flower. "It's about the Valkyrie dorms. Can you let me and Mei live together?"
The white-haired fluffball's intentions were clear to all.
Theresa really wanted to say that such deviance was a heretical matter, but considering this silly daughter of hers was only in her teens, there was no rush.
So she said, "Don't worry, the three of you girls will share a dorm."
"Yay!"
However...
Upon arriving at St. Freya High School.
"Great Aunt, this is the dorm you arranged for us?"
Valkyrie, dorm, Blondie...
Kiana stood with the Judah-launcher on her left and a grey-haired valkyrie from the Plains of Taixuan on her right.
The snow-haired girl was pitiful, weak, and helpless, feeling as though her great aunt was treating her like an idiot.
Theresa: "That's right. Didn't I arrange for the three of you to be in the same dorm?"
Kiana: "..."
So you and A-rank Valkyrie Fu Hua are living next door to me, forming a pincer attack by girls, and turning the 'guy next door' into the 'Blondie across the hall'?
"But this isn't what I wanted!"
"Kiana, now is not the time to be willful. The dorms have been assigned and can't be changed."
Are you kidding? A Herrscher is such a dangerous existence, of course they can't be left unsupervised.
It was already an act of mercy from her as the Branch Head not to make them sleep with Judah every day. She couldn't possibly give any more.
As for Brian, the only male in the Valkyrie dorms...
He was involved with two Herrschers and still managed to show up before her in one piece. That alone was enough for Theresa to treat him as a tool to stabilize the Herrschers' emotions.
Better safe than sorry.
The snow-haired girl persisted, "Great Aunt, but I don't want to..."
Seeing the look on her face, how could Theresa not know what she was thinking?
It was simply that she wanted some private space and didn't want to live across the door from a boy.
But Schicksal was not some school where favors could be granted.
Want to change dorms... simple.
"Kiana, if you want to change dorms, then have a match with Fu Hua. If you win, I'll grant your request."
Having her fight an elder of several decades would be bullying, and Himeko's health wasn't great. Fu Hua, an A-rank Valkyrie of the same age as Kiana, was the perfect opponent to teach her a lesson.
Kiana's face immediately lit up with joy. "Really?"
"Really."
Instantly, the white-haired fluffball's gaze towards Fu Hua was filled with an unprecedented fighting spirit.
Kiana Kaslana, sixteen years old, is afraid of school violence.
Fu Hua: "..."
She pushed up her glasses, remaining silent.
Honest Fu Hua, fifty-five thousand years old, is also afraid of school violence.
That year, Kiana covered her head with her hands, beaten so badly she forgot how to fight back.
