Kiana pointed at Bronya in the light screen, unable to believe that it really was Bronya.

After all, the previously seen girl with black stockings and large breasts, Bronya, was just another very similar person, but the one seen on the screen felt like the Bronya right next to them.

Kiana's gaze fell on Bronya, carefully examining the petite loli, noting her short legs, childlike face, and flat chest.

No matter how Kiana thought about it, she couldn't believe that Bronya could grow up so ridiculously fast.

Facing Kiana's suspicious gaze, Bronya, who was quite satisfied with the future version of herself shown on the screen, revealed a displeased look.

“(? ? ?)”

"You idiot Kiana, you're just envious of Bronya. You'll definitely be an auntie by then."

"Auntie, it's me?"

Kiana was taken aback by Bronya's words, then thought about it for a moment...

The thought that she, the dignified Kiana, the eldest daughter of the Kaslana family, is called "Aunt Kiana"...

From now on, little girls like Bronya will call her "Auntie"?!

"Ouch... No, I don't want to be called Aunt Kiana!!"

Kiana, who was just a kitten at the time, couldn't accept that kind of address at all. Just imagining it made her feel like she was having a nightmare scene that was unbearable, making her scalp tingle and her eyes blur!

However, if you think about it carefully, a mature and voluptuous Kiana will appear in the light screen...

Kiana suddenly felt like she could accept it... just a little bit more?

……

"Haha, now you can understand how it feels to be called 'Auntie'."

Himeko smiled and ruffled Mei and Kiana's hair, bringing Mei, who was still in shock, back to her senses.

Yes, she can now finally understand how complicated Himeko's feelings are when Kiana calls her "Auntie".

Mei is still just a young girl, yet she's already suffered this kind of blow...

While Himeko was talking to Mei, her meaning was actually directed at Kiana.

After all, Mei is usually a gentle and polite child, and she would never address Himeko as "Auntie" in a disrespectful way.

Only Kiana, that idiot, would call her "Aunt Himeko" out of the blue.

Kiana muttered a couple of things as Himeko vigorously rubbed her head, as if in retaliation for the previous "auntie" address, but she didn't refute it.

It was because of the grown-up appearance of Bronya and Mei in the scene, coupled with Bronya's earlier "Aunt Kiana" attack, that Kiana truly understood the pain in Aunt Himeko's heart.

Himeko's smile held a hint of bitterness. By the time Mei and Bronya had grown up and become aunts, she was probably already gone.

Although if she had lived to that time, she would probably be a full-fledged aunt by now, Himeko really hoped to see herself back then.

Will she tease Mei and Bronya, who are already called "Auntie" at that time?

Himeko had no way of knowing, after all, in the previous light screen, she had already sacrificed her life to save Kiana, and had no chance to see Bronya and Mei grow up.

Being able to see what the two of them look like now that they've grown up through the light screen, and to see Bronya regain her ability to move her legs and her facial expressions, is already enough to make me feel gratified.

Not only Himeko, but also Kiana, Mei, Bronya, Fu Hua, and Theresa, everyone at St. Freya Academy thought of the scene where Himeko sacrificed herself, and realized that the scene of Bronya and Mei growing up in the scene was something Himeko might never see again in the future. A sense of sadness rose in their hearts.

As everyone remained silent and saddened, the scene of "two elderly women revealing each other's shortcomings" finally began on the screen.

………………

………………

The scene begins with the grown-up Bronya pulling Mei aside for a private chat.

"Mei, is your injury really... alright?"

From Bronya's concerned tone and eyes, it seems that Mei and Bronya are still active as Valkyries in the future.

Although it's unknown whether the Honkai still existed at that time, it's certain that Mei was injured during her mission.

……

The students of St. Freya Academy looked somewhat somber. Could it be that the Honkai would still not be resolved by the time they grew up?

……

Amidst everyone's concerned gazes, the gentle, mature woman with long flowing hair in the scene smiled and reassured Bronya:

"It's alright now. What, don't you trust your 'Mei-neechan' anymore?"

Mei's tone was lighthearted and humorous, even teasing Bronya.

Faced with Mei's smile, Bronya's expression turned a little strange, her eyelids drooping slightly as if she was speechless at Mei's teasing.

"...No, I just haven't called you that for a long time."

Bronya revealed a lot of crucial information, including things she considered herself to be grown up.

In response, Mei in the picture showed a somewhat sad expression, as if shaking her head and sighing that the little girl who used to call out "hehehehe" so affectionately to her had grown up.

"Yes, when you started calling me 'Mei,' I wasn't used to it at first, and I felt a little lonely."

Mei's eyebrows rose slightly, her expression filled with admiration.

Bronya: "..."

………………

………………

Everyone at St. Freya Academy fell silent, just like Bronya in the picture.

During their conversation, everyone sensed something peculiar, especially... the change in Mei's demeanor and speech.

Kiana frowned, staring at Mei, who was feigning a sigh, on the screen.

"Hmm? Something seems off about Mei in the picture?"

"Would the old Mei have said something like, 'Mei-neechan is so lonely'?"

Kiana turned her questioning gaze to Mei beside her, feeling that the Mei in the picture was very different from the gentle and sweet Japanese-style girl Mei that she was familiar with.

"It feels like I'm seeing the shadow of someone else. Was that future Mei influenced by someone?"

"..."

Mei listened to Kiana's mutterings and silently turned her face away, showing her guilty conscience.

She certainly noticed the difference in herself in the image; the Mei who had grown so much wasn't just more mature in appearance, but also in her way of speaking…

It also seemed to carry a touch of flippancy... or rather, a humorous tone.

"Feeling down because I'm not called 'older sister'"—this way of speaking so openly and frankly expresses her feelings...

This act of opening up to one's family and friends, allowing them to understand one's feelings, made a name rise in Mei's mind and a beautiful, pretty pink figure flash before her eyes.

The figure of that pink fat woman

"Alicia..."

Kiana and Mei uttered that name simultaneously. In the instant their eyes met, Mei saw utter shock in Kiana's eyes, while Kiana saw Mei's barely concealed guilt.

Yes, Alicia, isn't that the pink-haired fat woman who occasionally appeared in the light screen earlier, that's the way she talks!

Kiana suddenly realized why Mei in the picture had a strange smell; it was as if she had been influenced by someone else's scent or behavior.

If you think back carefully, when Mei was exposed singing love songs with Alicia and touching each other's corners, that despicable guy who touched Mei inappropriately had this kind of vibe!

Kiana stared at Mei with eyes wide with shock, and was even more astonished when she saw Mei's evasive and guilty posture!

Although Mei remained silent, seemingly saying nothing, Kiana understood everything—

how so!

They were each other's first true friends, and it was the first time they had been able to redeem and support each other.

How could it have turned out like this? She and Mei went through so many stories together, but the Mei who grew up in the future doesn't resemble Kiana at all. Instead, it's another pink fat woman who came along and had a huge impact on Mei?!

"Idiot Kiana, if Mei in the future is influenced by you, she'll become an idiot Mei."

"Idiot, Kiana is enough for you."

"Bronya! This isn't the same thing!"

Kiana, who was interrupted by Bronya, stomped her foot in frustration!

"Besides, I'm not stupid!"

Although that's what the artist said, after Bronya's reminder, Kiana thought about it carefully and it seemed to make sense.

If Mei was truly influenced by her, then the future Mei will bear a resemblance to Kiana...

"Forehead……"

Kiana thought about it carefully and simply couldn't imagine that gentle, Japanese-style girl shouting "nekochan!" while performing difficult gymnastic moves in the air.

The image of Mei shouting things like "I want to drink Kiana's sister's ten" is something I can't even imagine.

Kiana felt much better after thinking about it this way.

Being like Alicia is at least better than being like her; at least the future Mei still looks very charming, and her words are very alluring.

Kiana was unknowingly drawn into the situation, and even began to accept Mei's influence from Alicia without realizing it.

Mei, on the other hand, was very grateful to Bronya for helping her out of the predicament, and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Kiana didn't pursue the matter any further.

She was also wondering to herself, when she was in her Herrscher form in the previous light screen, she always seemed impatient with Alicia, so how come she is now all over Alicia in terms of demeanor and behavior after growing up?

Theresa and Himeko, standing to the side, looked at Kiana with pity, as if they had noticed a hat on Kiana's head that was the same style and color as Otto's.

………………

………………

Within the Huangyi Golden Courtyard, Alicia was targeted by numerous heroes.

Although the students at St. Freya Academy were not very familiar with Alicia, they could all see that Mei had Alicia's shadow in her. Not to mention the Thirteen Heroes of the Fire Moth.
