Inside the consciousness space, filled with cecilia flowers, familiar tables and two chairs stood. Two girls, similar yet completely different, faced each other.
"Did you understand?" The golden-eyed girl spoke first, asking the blue-eyed girl opposite her.
"Hmm... there are still some things I don't understand. Like transferring people to the moon, I probably can't do that." Kiana smiled bitterly and shook her head. The power displayed by Verna was too exaggerated. At most, she could learn to materialize and create a Honkai barrier. The rest... was a bit difficult.
"It's okay, these things can be learned slowly. Your future is still very long, there's no need to belittle yourself." Knowing Kiana's future, Verna showed no emotions like disappointment, only pouring her a glass of juice.
"You will rise higher than everyone else and become a hero, Kiana," as she said that, Kiana lowered her head, a little embarrassed.
"Rising higher than everyone else, becoming a hero or something... it's too embarrassing!" Kiana clutched the corner of her clothes, unconsciously kneading it until it became wrinkled before letting go.
She thought Verna's words were simply her expectations and encouragement, and she didn't know that this was her future: Earth Godnes, Herrscher of Finality... Kiana Kaslana.
'When you bear this name, your future is destined to be extraordinary...' Looking at Kiana, she gently reached out, her thumb lightly brushing the corner of her lips.
"Sis, sister?" Kiana seemed startled, leaning back slightly, her cheeks flushed, her eyes showing no resistance, but shyness.
'No, no, no, I, I'm Mei's! I can't fall for someone else!' Kiana shook her head, shaking off the random thoughts. She was devoted to Mei!
"Nothing, I saw some juice on the corner of your lips, just wiping it off for you." Verna withdrew her hand, her expression unchanged.
"Hehe, I see." Kiana scratched the back of her head, laughing.
She looked a bit silly and cute, like a little cat.
"Alright, come on. While we have this time, I'll teach you how to control Void authority." Verna snapped her fingers. The table and juice disappeared, and the sea of flowers turned into solid ground.
......
On the Hyperion, Bronya looked at Kiana and Mei, who were sleeping soundly on the sickbed, wondering if she should also faint. Because she was the only one awake among the trio, she was the one who had been questioned all this time!
"Bronya, you're here." Himeko walked into the room at this moment, looking at Bronya sitting on a chair between Kiana and Mei, smiling and teasingly asking, "So worried about your friends?"
"Mm..." Bronya hugged her Homu doll and nodded, having no desire to communicate. Himeko felt a bit embarrassed seeing this, but there was nothing she could do. Among the Kiana, Mei, and Bronya trio, two were Herrschers and currently unconscious, so could only asking Bronya about it.
"Don't worry, we've already checked them. They're only unconscious from exhaustion and will wake up." Himeko, seeing Bronya's bowed head, stepped forward and rubbed Bronya's head, comforting her.
"If you're sad, why not have a drink? When you're drunk, you won't think about anything... Ah, I forgot, you're still underage, you can't drink alcohol." As Himeko spoke, she sized up Bronya's small frame.
Bronya looked up, making a (ᗜ ˰ ᗜ) expression at Himeko.
"In Bronya's hometown, before learning to hold a fork, one needs to learn to hold a gun and drink alcohol." Bronya protested. She was a pure Russian girl, not some lightweight who would collapse after a sip of alcohol.
"Hahaha, alright, alright, I know you can drink. You're much cuter like this than with that cold face earlier." Himeko looked at Bronya, laughing, and raised her hand to pinch her cheek.
"When we get to Saint Freya, I'll recommend you to Theresa. You two will definitely have a lot to talk about." Himeko found a seat, crossed her legs, and spoke to Bronya.
Of course, she also had her own agenda. As the captain of the Hyperion, she wasn't some naive simpleton who trusted everyone she met. She had already collected the information on the three people earlier.
Kiana Kaslana aside, Mei's background, apart from ME Corp being a company under Anti-Entropy, wasn't much, as it had been investigated and Mei didn't know about Anti-Entropy.
But this Bronya had quite a background: the former mercenary Silver Wolf of the Urals, and her adoptive mother Cocolia, who was someone to keep an eye on.
Himeko covertly observed Bronya. Her concern for the two people lying in the sickbed wasn't fake; from that perspective, she was a good little girl.
'Cocolia...' Himeko lightly bit her lip. That vixen probably sent this little girl to capture the Herrscher?, what make she think it will work?
"Heh, alright, I still have things to do. If you're bored, there's a game console here you can play." Himeko got up, preparing to leave. She needed to ask Theresa about the handling of these people.
"Two Herrschers... I suppose I've brought Theresa a big problem." In the corridor, Himeko chuckled. As for Bronya... an normal girl couldn't cause trouble in front of an A-Rank Valkyrie, and she not the only one with a mech.
The only worry was whether the two Herrschers would go crazy again and dismantle her battleship after waking up.
"Forget it, Theresa should be the one to worry about this. What does it have to do with me, a mere employee?" Himeko walked into her room and sent a message to Theresa.
Theresa quickly replied, the general meaning being that she understood, not to harm the three little ones, and everything would be resolved by her upon returning to the academy.
"Since that's the case, then I won't worry about it." Himeko raised an eyebrow, turned off her phone, placed it aside, closed her eyes, and quietly felt the pain in her body.
"I wonder... before I die, will I be able to find a good man?" A murmur echoed in the empty room. A cold, lonely atmosphere surrounded the room. Himeko looked at a faint trace of blood in her palm, reached for a tissue, and wiped it away.
......
At this moment, inside St. Freya Academy, Theresa sat on a chair, half her head peeking out at her phone on the table. The interface displayed her chat history with Himeko.
"Kiana, I didn't expect to see you this way, and... the Void." Theresa looked at one of Kiana's photos: Spear of the Void, golden eyes... even through the screen, her aura was evident. She would never forget it.
"Void, Sirin... someone who had clearly died, why would she in my niece's body...?"
