"That idiot! That idiot!!!"
Maybe because she was too angry, Theresa repeated "that idiot" several times before finally saying what Kiana had done.
"She blew up St. Freya Academy!!!"
"..."
After hearing that, the curious looks on Raiden Mei and Bronya's faces froze.
Instinctively, they didn't believe Theresa.
Kiana might be dumb, but she wasn't stupid.
How could she possibly do something that ridiculous?
But judging from how furious Theresa was, it was probably true.
That meant the slight shaking earlier wasn't an earthquake, but the aftershock from the explosion.
Even if it was true...
"Principal," Raiden Mei said after thinking for a moment, "is it possible that Kiana wasn't the one who did it?"
"You think I got the wrong person?"
Theresa didn't get angry. She called the two of them over and left the Valkyrie dorms.
———
Meanwhile... A strange sight appeared in Aurum Alley.
Two people were lying on the ground, laughing so hard they were rolling around.
"Hahahaha!"
March 7th covered her face. She didn't want to look at the two on the ground, and she definitely didn't want to admit she had come to Aurum Alley with them.
"Hey, hey! You two don't have to laugh this hard!"
With their laughter ringing out, and more and more people gathering around to watch, Kiana felt her face getting hot.
Touching her burning cheeks, Kiana shouted, "You two! That's enough!"
She lunged at them, trying to stop their laughter.
Seeing her coming, Stelle rolled away with a "roll, roll" and dodged.
Levi wasn't so lucky.
Kiana directly pinned him down by force.
Feeling something was off, Stelle stood up and looked over.
Kiana was sitting on top of Levi, desperately covering his mouth.
Because she was putting so much force into it, she was almost lying on top of him.
Stelle bit her fingers twice.
"This is pinning him down?"
'Isn't this a reward?'
Pointing at their suggestive position, she asked, "March 7th, what do you think?"
"I don't know enough to comment."
Drinking Immortal's Delight Tea and watching the drama unfold, March 7th gave no opinion.
Does this mean Miss March 7th approves of this happening and supports this pairing?
March 7th: "6."
Since asking March 7th got her nowhere, Stelle quickly took a picture before the two separated and sent it to the group chat.
Ding!
[Stelle: @Everyone, thoughts?]
[Lumine: !!!]
[Elysia: What?! Damn it!]
[Elysia: It was obviously me first...]
[Lumine: ?]
'Why is there a White Album scene in the group chat too?'
[Asta: Is that... Kiana and Levi?]
Looking closely at the picture Stelle had sent, Asta sighed.
"They're really close."
If they were just ordinary friends, they wouldn't do something this bold.
And judging from the background, this was out on the street.
If they weren't close, how could they do something like this in public?
[Bronya: ...]
Bronya was stunned when she saw the picture.
Did Kiana not want Mei anymore?
Was she planning to run off with some other stinky man?
———
[A Moment Later]
As one of the people involved, Levi came forward to explain.
[Levi: Everyone, don't misunderstand. Kiana and I are innocent.]
[Elysia: Innocent enough to have five kids?]
[Lumine: Weren't you still doing the White Album thing?]
[Elysia: Oh, right!]
She was still in White Album mode.
[Elysia: Wuwuwu... It was me first. It was obviously me first...]
[Kiana: ...]
"You really blew up the school..."
"Eat!"
Kiana glared at Levi and Stelle, the two culprits who had spread the whole thing.
Then she turned to the table full of food and tore into it with a fierce look in her eyes.
As she kept eating, that fierce look slowly turned into one of happiness.
After tens of thousands of years of Xianzhou food culture, Kiana's stomach was slowly won over.
After eating and drinking her fill, Kiana slumped back in her chair, rubbed her slightly rounded stomach, and let out a satisfied burp.
At that moment, Stelle asked again, "Kiana, did you really blow up St. Freya Academy?"
Now completely tamed by good food, Kiana nodded and gave an awkward smile.
"I acted on impulse. Just acted on impulse..."
She saw the rocket launcher with nowhere to use it, got carried away, and fired a few shots at the school building.
Then she had no choice but to come here to hide.
She planned to wait a few days until Theresa had mostly calmed down before going back.
She would definitely get scolded.
But at least she could avoid Theresa using Judah.
Right now, she really didn't want to see that golden cross.
Every time she saw it, she felt like she was about to be nailed to it.
It was terrifying.
In short, as Sirin put it, "Stay away from Judah, or you'll become unlucky."
———
[St. Freya Academy]
Raiden Mei and Bronya followed behind Theresa and arrived at a pile of rubble.
It was obvious this was where Kiana had done it.
The two of them had been here before.
As they remembered it, this had been a teaching building.
They had heard it had been there since St. Freya Academy was first founded and had been in use ever since. It had quite a long history.
No wonder the principal was so angry.
But Bronya didn't think that was the only reason.
She felt Theresa had another reason for being so furious.
Like the huge amount of dust covering her body.
And the burn marks on her hair.
"This is what she used to blow it up!"
Theresa threw the rocket launcher in front of the two of them.
"This thing is restricted equipment. It's not allowed to be taken back to the dorms."
But somehow Kiana had gotten hold of one.
"Himeko is investigating where it came from. We should have the answer by tomorrow."
After hearing Theresa, Bronya looked at the familiar marking on it and quietly took a small step back.
Instead of standing beside Raiden Mei, she moved behind her.
"As for how I know Kiana was the one who did it..."
Theresa was about to take out the recording, but Raiden Mei stopped her.
"I already know, Principal."
Bronya recognized it.
Raiden Mei did too.
It was the thing Kiana had been carrying when she left.
Since it had appeared here, it was almost certain that Kiana had caused all of this.
It was hard to imagine what kind of shock Kiana had gone through to pull off the feat of bombing her own school.
After today, Kiana would become completely famous at St. Freya.
'No!'
She might even become famous throughout Schicksal.
Noticing the nearby Valkyries looking this way while whispering among themselves, Raiden Mei suddenly realized that it might not just be Kiana becoming famous.
Their entire dorm might become famous too.
"Did you hear? The Valkyries in ** Dorm are all incredible. One of them even blew up the school."
"..."
Raiden Mei couldn't help covering her face.
She wasn't afraid of becoming famous.
Would the mighty Herrscher of Thunder be afraid of fame?
She just didn't want to become famous like this.
It was too embarrassing.
At that moment, Himeko's voice came from the distance.
"Theresa."
She walked over to Theresa's side.
Looking at the ruins in front of her, she couldn't hold back a laugh.
But the moment she laughed, Theresa shot her a glare.
Himeko immediately stopped smiling and said seriously, "I checked. Nothing is missing from the logistics department's equipment. It was probably something a Valkyrie had secretly kept."
If they wanted to search for it...
The logistics warehouse probably wouldn't be big enough.
