Humans are in chaos, despicable outsiders.

"I'll go find Kiana..."

Before Theresa could make any further arrangements, Bronya volunteered to take on the task of finding Kiana.

“Bronya, well, you’re familiar with Kiana, so it’s good for you to persuade her. Besides, you’ve learned a lot from the two Welt leaders recently.”

Theresa nodded, agreeing to the request.

"As for the guests from the Sea of ​​Quanta, I won't trouble you this time... But Miss Brownie, as the Bishop of Destiny, I have a personal request..."

Theresa looked a little embarrassed as she glanced at the group of Miss Hare blowing bubblegum.

"Oh? Does this Miss Teiriri have some special request? Hmm... perhaps she wants to debut as an idol?"

"Huh??? Idols are a thing of the past. I'd like to ask Miss Brownie to teach me some computer skills..."

"Oh, that's what it is! That makes sense!"

Brownie readily accepted Theresa's request.

"Bronya kindly reminds you... The headmistress is at least 40 years old and is about to enter old age."

Bronya quietly approached Brownie and offered a friendly reminder.

"An elderly person learning computers... you know what Bronya means, right?"

Brownie broke out in a cold sweat.

.......

"That's settled then, meeting adjourned! Bronya, I'll arrange a transport ship for you!"

————————————————————

Old Changkong City, Dongcheng District, Nest.

"This is where everyone lives, Kiana."

He led Kiana to the empty space of this miniature nest city and stood on a simple elevator.

"Kiana, please come up here. We can take this elevator up and enter the nest."

"Hey, okay."

The knight princess looked around the unique little nest with some curiosity, replied to Kong, and stood on the platform with her.

"Everyone in the nest should be here today. This is the day the teacher comes back every month. Sister Kiana, you will see the most lively time in this nest."

As the elevator platform gradually moved upwards, the sky, which had been blocked by the roof, gradually came into view.

"Sister Kiana, look—that's the teacher's airplane."

Xiao Kong seemed to have discovered something, and tugged at Kiana's clothes, pointing to a corner of the distant sky.

"The World Serpent's transport plane?"

With the help of Herrscher superhuman vision, Kiana could see the logo on the plane much more clearly than Sora.

"...This nest is actually related to the World Serpent? Could it be their secret testing base?"

Kiana, seeing the transport plane getting closer and closer, didn't dodge it. She walked to the tarmac with the girl with pink and purple hair next to her and waited for it to land. As the plane roared, the children in the nest came running and surrounded the tarmac.

As the transport plane's doors opened, a female voice rang out from the center...

"Phew—finally here, my butt's gone numb from sitting so long—"

The raven, having just stepped out of the plane and stretched, heard a somewhat familiar voice—

"It's you! Kojima Bakuro!?"

The character "井" (well) immediately and instinctively jumped onto her forehead.

"I told you not to call me Little Island Explosive Crow! Wait—White Burning Cat???"

Hiola stared wide-eyed at the knight princess who had appeared out of nowhere, and the latter seemed to realize something as well, blurting out the same question—

"These are the adopted daughters you mentioned??? How could you let them live here?!"

"No way? Why are you two asking the exact same questions???"

"These kids have only partially awakened their Stigmata, so they can't go to places with too low Honkai concentration. Simply put, that's it, understand? I'm here to deliver medicine!"

Ciola's reply completely exceeded Kiana's expectations—

"Wait a minute?! What do you mean by 'we two, husband and wife'? Who are you talking about?!"

"???"

Siola stared blankly at the white-haired knight in front of her, then gradually understood what was going on, revealing an expression of looking at a scumbag woman.

"You shameless scumbag! You toyed with another girl's heart and then ran off, didn't you?!"

"That poor girl couldn't get over you; she almost strangled me on the way here—"

Siola stepped aside from the cabin door with a "you scumbag, you're going to die" look on her face.

"Kiana!"

A figure crackling with purple lightning was reflected in the Knight Princess's gradually widening blue pupils—

Chapter 292 High Attack, Low Defense, Someone

If we were to rank Kiana's favorite characters, excluding officially banned characters like Siegfried and Cecilia, Raiden Mei would undoubtedly hold the top spot. This is a consensus among the Valkyries of the former St. Freya Academy and now East Schicksal.

However, if we were to rank the people Kiana least wants to see right now, Raiden Mei would undoubtedly take the top spot.

"Ya...Ya...Ya Yi???"

Kiana stared at the unexpected person in front of her, speechless for a long time, unsure of what to do with her tongue.

"Kiana..."

"Mei...Mei! Don't listen to that little island raven's nonsense! I'm completely devoted to you!"

Seeing Raiden Mei's gloomy face, drooping forehead, eyes hidden by her bangs, and the dark, oppressive aura emanating from her, Kiana quickly backed down and was ready to perform the Herrscher of the Void's signature move: running away.

"Kiana... Himeko-sensei is right, you have indeed changed a lot—"

Mei, who had been looking down and brooding for a while, raised her head and carefully examined Kiana in front of her. She placed her hand on the Knight Princess's cheek and gently stroked it.

“I heard from Ciora... you’re doing very well outside. You’ve recognized the original Second Herrscher, Sirin, as your sister, and you even have a dragon maid. Aside from being a little busy, you’re living a good life every day.”

"I have no worries about food, clothing, or shelter... Kiana, you probably don't need me at all—"

Amid Kiana's expression that seemed to say, "Mei, I'm not, I didn't do it," Raiden Mei continued to mutter to herself in a self-pitying tone.

"Mei, let me explain! Bella and I are just friends, yes! Friends!"

Ignoring Kiana's explanation, Raiden Mei simply cupped the knight's cheeks affectionately in her hands, making Kiana wonder if her head was about to be ripped off and held in Mei's arms with giggles.

"But I needed you so much. During the first week you left, everyone was so depressed, but as time went by, everyone gradually recovered..."

"The void you left in our hearts, everyone has found more things to do, choosing busyness and forgetting, or filling that void... Only I, on every fateful night, after the busyness and noise have faded, in the dormitory without you, find that the void in my heart has grown bigger and bigger without me noticing..."

“You are so important to me—right here, in this city, you saved me two years ago, pulling me out of the endless darkness... At that moment I knew—you would be the brightest light in my life.”

"To chase that light, I kept running... running... I thought I was about to catch up with you, but reality dealt me ​​a heavy blow. You left me again, and disappeared without a trace—"

Kiana Kaslana, her brain overloaded, was already contemplating how many tables she should set up—don't misunderstand, not red, but white...

"And this time, still here, still in this city that holds so many important memories for us, fate has brought us together again..."

Seemingly unaware that the white-haired woman in front of her had already stepped halfway into the portal and was trembling as if preparing to flee immediately—Raiden Mei cupped Kiana's cheeks even tighter...

"And this time! I won't miss you again, Kiana—I love to laugh!"

Raiden Mei shoved her face directly at the white-haired girl in front of her...

"Waaaaaah!!!"

Kiana, who was being forced to kiss in a certain sense, looked to Siola for help... but the latter seemed to have no time to care about her at all.

......

"Children, don't look at this! Go back inside, go, go—"

The raven, its eyes covered, gestured sharply towards the adults watching behind it, eliciting a disgruntled murmur from one side—

"The teacher has no romance at all!"

"Teacher, when will you ever find a boyfriend? If you can't find a boyfriend, will you never find a girlfriend?!"

"Teacher, you'll die without a son if you keep doing this!!"

The children, though grumbling as they were sent back, eventually obediently returned to the house...

Looking at these unlucky kids who couldn't hold back their sharp tongues, Raven couldn't help but sigh at how precocious kids were these days, and wonder what they even watched...

"Hey, hey, hey?! You over there, can you get off your Prince Charming? She's practically dazed from all the kissing—!"

After finishing with the children, Ciora finally had time to support Kiana, whose brain was so overheated it could boil water.

Seeing Raiden Mei "kissing" Kiana's face, Siola couldn't help but mutter to herself—

How can this young lady from the Far Eastern island nation be more unrestrained than me, a Yugoslavian???

.......

Amidst Hiora's disgraceful and immoral expression, Mei finally released Kiana, the crimson in her pupils gradually fading...

"Hiss... Mei, I need to calm down—"

Kiana, her face flushed red after being given a firm kiss, darted into the portal that had been opened long ago and disappeared from their sight...

"I need to find a quiet place too—!"

Raiden Mei, realizing what she had just done, also blushed. Although it seemed like she had successfully confessed... a direct shot pierced Kiana's defense... but at this moment, we can apply a certain late scientist's mechanical theorem—

Forces act in pairs.

Even with her paper-thin defenses, Raiden Mei's own defenses were breached—

"Aaaaaah, what did I say to Kiana?!"

Then, before Siola's numb eyes, it transformed into a streak of purple lightning and vanished from her sight.
