A smile that only a devil would show appeared on his face, as if he were tempting Theresa to keep asking.
But Theresa wasn't afraid of him.
"You don't actually not know, do you?"
Levi froze for a moment, then laughed twice. "Alright, alright. Since you insist, I'll tell you."
He rolled his eyes and met Raiden Mei's curious gaze that was fixed on him.
He flexed his fingers and greeted her with a smiling face. Seeing this made Kiana's blood surge, her whole body feeling full of strength.
But whenever she tried to break free from the restraints, she would realize just how weak she was.
And all of this was because…
'What kind of material did Auntie use to make this rope? Why is it so strong!'
The rope was too sturdy.
Kiana twisted her body a little. There wasn't even the slightest sign of damage on the rope tied around her.
Seeing there was no way to break free, she could only glare at Levi, warning him not to get any ideas about her Mei.
Ignoring the glare from Kiana, the poor victim, Levi's voice continued.
"Hmm… the Fourth Honkai, if I remember right, happened in New Zealand."
"As for the Fourth Herrscher, the Herrscher of Wind… hmm, Wendy. Do you still remember that name?"
Of course she remembered the name Wendy.
Or rather, how could she possibly forget the most talented Valkyrie who had once been under her command?
Because of her own wrong decision, Wendy ended up becoming like that.
How could she ever allow herself to forget?
What she didn't expect was that he would actually know about Wendy.
Could he be someone from the Oceania Branch?
"Why are you bringing up Wendy?"
Theresa frowned as she looked at him.
Seeing the strange smile on his face, she suddenly realized something. Her eyes widened slightly, her expression full of disbelief.
"Looks like you've figured it out too. That's right! Wendy is the Fourth Herrscher."
Thud!
The documents on the table fell to the floor, kicking up a bit of dust. Theresa's body stiffened, with no intention of bending down to pick them up.
"H-how is that possible…"
Her eyes were wide, her pupils trembling slightly, as if she couldn't believe what Levi was saying.
As a genius with the potential to become an S-rank Valkyrie, Theresa knew very well how firm Wendy's will to fight the Honkai was.
How could she possibly submit to the Honkai?
"Do you remember that gem you got from the Herrscher of the Void?"
Of course she remembered that thing.
"I think it was called the Gem of Desire… putting everything else aside, the people of your world really do have unbelievable courage."
Knowing full well it was a Herrscher core, and without fully understanding the Honkai...
they still dared to recklessly implant something that dangerous into a human body.
If the implanted person didn't become a Herrscher, it would practically be an insult to what these people had done.
Ignoring Levi's mockery, Theresa immediately contacted the Oceania Branch where Wendy was stationed. The reply she got was that everything about Wendy was completely normal.
"..."
"Why are you looking at me? I already said this is the future. Future future means something that hasn't happened yet."
"How am I supposed to be sure you're not just making things up?"
After all, according to the Oceania Branch, Wendy's emotions were currently very stable, with no negative feelings at all.
The Honkai energy levels in her body were stable too. There was absolutely no sign she might become a Herrscher.
If he was just using the excuse of "the future" to casually fabricate something... then if it did happen later, it would prove he could foresee crises.
If it didn't happen, he could always find an excuse.
For example, "The future changes once it's spoken," or "You unconsciously changed the future yourselves."
Either way, he'd always have a way to justify himself.
Levi gave Theresa a deep look and left behind just one sentence. "Believe it or don't."
Emotionally stable?
Not even mentioning whether the Oceania Branch might have lied to Theresa, the granddaughter of the Overseer.
Earlier, Raiden Ryoma also thought his daughter's emotions were pretty stable. Didn't things still change just like that?
No one knows which will come first, tomorrow or an accident.
Theresa didn't expect him to have such an indifferent attitude.
At a time like this, shouldn't he be trying hard to prove that the future he spoke about was real?
"Look at me, look at me!"
"What? You gonna put on a show for everyone?"
'So infuriating! This bastard!'
'I really want to leave my shoeprint on his face!'
'No no! That would be rewarding him!'
'Damn it! Dealing with a pervert really is miserable!'
'If I hit him he enjoys it, if I don't hit him I feel suffocated inside!'
'When have I ever had to put up with this kind of anger!'
Staring at Levi's delicate face, Kiana felt her teeth itching.
"Hurry up and untie me, I demand it!"
Seeing her expression, Levi chose to avoid the edge for now and stopped provoking her.
He reached out and untied the rope around her.
Freed from the restraints, Kiana leaped right next to him and hooked her slender arm tightly around his neck.
The strength in her arm made it seem like she wanted to snap his neck.
Unfortunately, Levi was no longer who he used to be. This move didn't cause him much harm.
Instead, it made him feel a bit comfortable.
His cheek touched something Qingque could only ever dream of in this lifetime.
Kiana also seemed to realize she really couldn't do anything to Levi. She snorted and let go, then ran over to Raiden Mei for comfort.
"Mei~"
Grabbing Mei's small hand, Kiana felt her wounded heart being soothed.
'Having Mei by my side is the best!'
Raiden Mei pulled her hand free and patted Kiana's head like an elder. Her expression also looked like that of an elder, full of affection.
She was enjoying this too.
"Hehehe!"
Under Raiden Mei's cat-petting technique, Kiana let out a creepy fanboy laugh. Bronya felt a chill and quietly moved farther away from her.
Kiana quickly came back to her senses. This wasn't a place with just her and Mei.
Kiana wiped the moisture from the corner of her mouth and asked Levi, "You can also foresee the future?"
She didn't remember Levi having this ability. Otherwise, the near disaster during the fight with Phantylia wouldn't have happened.
"How are you a hundred percent sure that Wendy will really become that… whatever Herrscher?"
"It's, the strongest Herrscher of Wind in history, who fought three Herrschers alone with the power of one."
It hadn't even been that long, and Kiana had already forgotten what the Herrscher was called.
Bronya, "Grasshopper, you'll get used to it."
Meeting Kiana's eyes, Levi said mysteriously, "I'll only tell you this secret… actually, I've read the script."
After hearing that, Kiana curled her lips.
'If you can foresee the future then just say that. What do you mean you've read the script?'
'What is this world, some kind of stage play?'
Levi shrugged. "I'm not wrong. When your strength is high enough, you'll also be able to see the 'script'."
After saying this, before Theresa could say anything else, Levi glanced at the time on his jade communicator.
"It's getting late. I'll head out first."
He pointed toward the door. Before leaving, he glanced at Himeko.
With hidden meaning, he said, "Maybe you could try your luck in Nagazora City. There's something there that you need."
Theresa looked confused. 'What happened to Himeko?'
Looking at him, Himeko clearly understood what he meant. Her expression showed some surprise.
She didn't expect him to know about her physical condition.
After all, no one knew about this. Not even Theresa.
But Nagazora City…
Himeko nodded thoughtfully.
Raiden Mei stared blankly at his departing figure.
'Stop him.'
"..."
