"You brat?!"

Upon hearing this, Raiden Mei, Bronya, and Seele all shouted in unison. However, the last one's face flushed slightly as she looked at Black Seele with displeasure. It was one thing for her to suddenly appear and take over the body, but to call Gensou by that nickname was really impolite.

The members of St. Freya's team were already used to Seele's situation. Except for Kiana, who was looking like she was wondering, "Who is Gensou? Where is Gensou?", all the other members looked in the direction Fu Hua pointed and sure enough, they saw the traces of the wind pillar that had not yet dissipated.

The fact that Genji possesses the power to control the wind is no secret among these people, except for Kiana, of course.

"Fu Hua, did Gensou leave with Wendy?"

At that moment, Theresa's voice came through the team's communicator. The little nun's tone was tinged with anger as she recalled how she had been mocked by that person last time. Fu Hua calmly replied:

"Yes, Principal, Gensou left with a girl in a wheelchair. According to the mission intelligence, that must be Miss Wendy."

"Quickly, go and bring him back! Wendy has a Herrscher core on her; we can't let him take her away so easily!"

Thinking of this, Theresa quickly said:

"I can get other squads to provide support for you!"

"Principal, I'm afraid that's not possible."

Fu Hua's tone remained unchanged. She pulled down her tactical goggles, shook her head, and said:

“He has disappeared. There is no doubt that Mr. Genji possesses abilities beyond intelligence gathering. I also think that, for our team, even if he doesn’t kill us because of our past relationship, it’s impossible to take Miss Wendy back from him. After all, he killed Cocolia, the head of Anti-Entropy, almost from halfway around the world. I think we need to request support from headquarters for an S-class Valkyrie.”

"Wait, class monitor, school principal, please do not report to headquarters."

Raiden Mei interrupted anxiously, looking at Fu Hua and trying to persuade Theresa:

“Mr. Gensho is not an unreasonable person. As long as we find his whereabouts, he will definitely bring Miss Wendy back safely.”

304 Since we're already here

"Yuanxiang, who exactly are you?"

While St. Freya's team was pondering how to deal with Gensou's sudden appearance, Wendy, who had arrived at the edge of the town, turned back in surprise and asked Gensou, "To be able to fly so high in the sky with one's physical body and even fly is beyond Wendy's comprehension. In her impression, it seems that only Herrschers can do this."

Therefore, Wendy became uneasy again. It wasn't that she was being paranoid or fickle, but the Herrscher core residing in her leg was far too important. The birth of a Herrscher would at least result in massive casualties on a city-by-city scale, and she absolutely did not want to see such a scene.

"A detective from another world."

Yuanxiang rolled up his sleeves, shook his arms, and said:

"To be honest, did you sense even the slightest bit of Honkai energy from me?"

"........"

After this point was made clear, Wendy noticed the problem. In this world that was almost symbiotic with Honkai energy, Gensou's situation was indeed as he had described. Wendy could be quite certain that she had not misperceived, after all, she had spent a considerable amount of time with the Herrscher Core. Although she had lost her freedom, it had also allowed her to grow in a different way.

"No way, come on, let me see your legs."

Gengo smiled at Wendy, then squatted down, lifted the blanket, and rolled up the girl's trouser legs, revealing her slender legs with eerie blue skin due to being parasitized by the Herrscher core. There were some bandages wrapped around them, but Gengo did not find any wounds on her legs.

"Yuanxiang, what are you doing?"

To make it easier to maneuver, Yuanxiang slightly raised the wheelchair, and with the blanket folded on her lap, Wendy's mind involuntarily conjured up images of a pregnant woman giving birth. Her cheeks flushed slightly as she said in a flustered voice:

"Don't touch me like that. If you get corrupted by Honkai energy, I don't want to kill you."

"Kill me? With your little pistol? You're underestimating me."

Just like when he helped Raiden Mei last time, Genji blanked out his arm. However, Wendy's physical condition was much worse than that young lady's, so the Ripple was already prepared. To prevent the Valkyrie from being too nervous, the boy casually teased Wendy, saying:

"I'm not bragging, but with my current level of strength, if this damned Honkai energy could really corrupt me, I would have to be at least a Herrscher... no, a Super Herrscher. Unless your pistol is a space-based weapon, it wouldn't even scratch my skin."

"You...you stop right now!"

Feeling the cool warmth on her legs, Wendy angrily took off her coat, used the sleeve as a whip to lash out at Yuanxiang, and said anxiously:

"How dare you! I'm trying to save your life... Ah!! Ah~~↗"

Before she could finish speaking, Wendy suddenly felt an electric shock-like sensation on her leg, followed by intense pain. This caused Wendy to scream involuntarily. But immediately, as the pain subsided, an unusual warmth and comfort spread throughout her body, making the girl's voice sweet. However, Wendy immediately realized that this was somewhat indecent and hurriedly covered her mouth, but the charming voice still instinctively escaped her throat. In an instant, the temperature on the girl's cheeks soared, as if snowflakes falling on them would instantly vaporize.

"knock off."

Genshou rearranged the wheelchair, clapped his hands, smiled at Wendy, and then suddenly grabbed the girl's wrist, jumping backward. Wendy gasped, looking at Genshou's mischievous smile, about to scold him, but then she suddenly realized something. She slowly looked down and saw that she was firmly on the ground. Although her legs felt a little weak because she hadn't walked for a long time, she was definitely standing, and just now, with Genshou's help, she had walked a short distance!

"Yuanxiang, I've stood up..."

Wendy looked at her legs, moved them a couple of times, and then looked at Yuanxiang with delight, her moist eyes shining brightly.

"I really stood up!"

"Not only can you stand up, you can walk and run."

Seeing the client's smile, Yuanxiang smiled as well and said softly:

"Let's go, the city is over there. Let's take a short walk around. This time you don't have to be distracted by the fear of Honkai energy spreading."

"Ok!"

Wendy nodded vigorously, then eagerly pulled Yuanxiang along, running towards the cluster of skyscrapers. This long-awaited freedom filled the Valkyrie with such joy that everything in her eyes seemed filtered through a perfect lens. She couldn't wait to enjoy this rare moment of freedom, and then...

"You're quite fast, aren't you?"

Yuanxiang looked at Wendy, who was lying on the lawn panting, and glanced at the time, saying:

"I thought you could run all the way there in one go."

"Um~~~~"

Wendy, like a mournful animal, covered her head with her coat, rolled over on the grass, and lay down. It didn't feel that far, so why did it turn out like this when she actually ran...?

"Alright, little guy, want a ride?"

As she spoke at the entrance to the village, the wind had already lifted Wendy's body and carried her towards the city. At that moment, Wendy suddenly remembered something and looked at the boy beside her, saying:

"Gengoku, where is that core Herrscher?"

"I've found a place to store it to prevent the Honkai energy from overflowing and causing trouble."

Gensho casually waved his hand. Wendy subconsciously wanted to ask more questions, but she swallowed her words and simply nodded affirmatively at Gensho before casting her expectant gaze toward the approaching street.

Wendy had been confined to the Oceania branch of Schicksal for quite some time. In that desolate base, she had never seen so many people and such bustling streets. She looked left and right, raised her foot and then put it down, not knowing where to start. Finally, she turned her gaze to Gensou beside her.

Don't look at me.

Yuanxiang shrugged:

"This is my first time here too. How about we play rock-paper-scissors? Whoever loses has to lead the way."

“Yuanxiang...”

Wendy looked at the boy with bright, sparkling eyes and said in a coquettish tone:

"You said that I could trust you under any circumstances."

"...Fine, since you're my client."

Genshou helplessly extended his hand to Wendy and said:

"Come on, give me some start-up capital."

"Hehe, is this enough?"

Wendy obediently placed a small stack of money in Yuanxiang's hand, while the boy shook his head and said:

"I don't know either, let's just pick a random shop and try out the prices."

'Look at those two kids over there, they're so funny.'

'Whose siblings are these? Their parents really let them out alone; they seem completely clueless.'

"Yuanxiang, what's with that expression?"

Just as Wendy and Genji were about to take action, the whispers of the others reached them. Although they had kept their voices down, Valkyrie and Kamen Rider could still hear them quite clearly. The girl then saw the boy reveal a smile like '(^ω^)', like a cat laughing.

"It's nothing, I just thought of some happy things. Come on, my little brother, let me show you what fun things there are to do around here."

"Are you really that happy?"

Wendy muttered something in confusion, but seeing how happy Genshou was, she didn't say anything more. She followed Genshou cheerfully to the shop across the street, where Genshou bought a map as a reference for their next move.

......

"Yuanxiang, you're amazing!"

Three hours later, at a shop on the street outside the amusement park, Wendy scooped up ice cream with a small spoon while looking at the boy across from her and praising him softly. She really hadn't had to worry about anything along the way; all she had to do was stick with him and not get lost. And he was really good at dealing with people. While waiting for the cake to come out of the oven, he and the shop owner chatted enthusiastically, like long-lost brothers. In the end, the shop owner even gave her two boxes of tiramisu, saying that Yuanxiang was welcome to come and visit him again when he had time.

"After all, he's a detective; he needs to master the basics."

Yuanxiang smiled nonchalantly, then glanced at the time, looked around, and said softly:

"Speaking of which, Wendy, have you ever regretted it?"

".....No."

Unexpectedly, Gensou brought the topic back to this point. After a slight pause, she answered firmly that Wendy was willing to endure the pain and save more people by sacrificing her own life to become a vessel after the Herrscher core experiment. This was not only her duty as a Valkyrie, but also her true nature.

"But when you referred to destiny, I could sense the dissatisfaction and a hint of resentment in your tone."

Genshou bluntly exposed Wendy's deeper thoughts, casually scooping up a spoonful of the girl's ice cream and putting it in his mouth, saying:

“I understand the source of your dissatisfaction, so I'd like to ask about your plans. If you don't want to go back to being a Valkyrie, I can make a deal with that Herrscher Core, the one we met at the transit station…”

"A Valkyrie of the Far East Branch of Destiny, a student of St. Freya Academy."

"Ok?"

Wendy's voice surprised Genji, who raised an eyebrow slightly. He hadn't mentioned a single thing about Raiden Mei and the others along the way. How could she...?

"Actually, I also graduated from St. Freya Academy."

Wendy scooped a spoonful of ice cream from Yuanxiang and came back with a smile, saying:

“I was once the most outstanding student of Principal Theresa Academy.”

Indeed, Wendy joined the Oceania branch after graduation and became the branch's best Valkyrie. She was once considered to be the fourth S-class Valkyrie of this generation.

However, in 2014, Schicksal launched a secret research project in the hope of developing weapons that could rival the Herrschers through the Herrscher core. At this time, Wendy was recommended to participate in the experiment, and it seems that Theresa was the one who recommended her.

"To be honest, if I hadn't witnessed Theresa's foolishness in getting lost in her own academy, I would have thought it was more like you had offended her somewhere and she was pushing you to your death."

Genji couldn't help but complain, but Wendy was a little unhappy about it and gently patted Genji's hand, saying:

"You can't say that about Principal Theresa. She would never use such dirty tricks to frame other Valkyries. To be honest, before the experiment, I was actually very confident and thought it would be my chance to become an S-class Valkyrie... Never mind, let's not talk about this. But Gensou, how can a boy like you freely enter and leave St. Freya Academy?"
