"You can stop now."

"Go get some sleep..."

Just as she had said, Bronya closed her eyes slightly and collapsed to the ground.

—She was really asleep.

The heavily armed bunny behind him also lost its ability to move and disappeared into the air.

then.

Boom——! !

The massive warship, which was about to tilt and sink, was forcibly leveled by some unknown force.

Hatsune Miku stood on the deck of the warship, calmly looking at the now-ceaseless vessel.

"It seems everything is over..."

Chapter 273 Meeting with the Headmaster

In the end, the Moon Throne was finally halted.

Hatsune Miku, who arrived suddenly, subdued Bronya, while Accelerator used his own power to forcibly take control of the huge spaceship.

The crisis did not spread.

As if they were telepathically connected, with their cooperation, everything remained exactly as it had been at the beginning, and nothing was damaged.

"Bronya...Bronya!"

After a series of calls, the girl finally slowly opened her eyes.

"Hmm... Bronya... what's this?"

The petite girl, held in Raiden Mei's arms, finally regained consciousness.

She no longer attacks indiscriminately around her as before, and her blood-red eyes have returned to their normal color.

"Thank goodness, Bronya! I'm so glad you're alright..."

"Just now... Bronya's chip..."

The girl held in his arms frowned her pretty brows.

During the intrusion into the spaceship called the Moon Throne, the chip related to his nervous system in his body seemed to have been severely eroded.

What exactly is going on? Does this mean there's some kind of virus hidden inside this warship...?

"Bronya, Hatsune Miku saved you! You really have to thank her!"

"Hatsune...?"

After a moment of instinctive surprise, she finally raised her head and looked at her side.

A beautiful white-haired girl dressed as a shrine maiden stood beside him, smiling gently at him.

Good afternoon, Bronya.

"You are... that S-rank Valkyrie from the class next door?"

Hatsune Miku's fame at St. Freya Academy has reached the level where everyone knows her.

Within months of joining Schicksal, she reached the strength of an S-rank Valkyrie. It is said that she once fought against Rita Losweiser, an S-rank Valkyrie from Schicksal headquarters.

It's truly unimaginable that such a legendary figure would appear directly in the missions of these B-rank Valkyries.

"Thank you so much for stopping Bronya, Hatsune Miku... If it weren't for your timely intervention, Bronya might already be..."

A look of self-reproach crept onto the girl's face.

"it does not matter."

As if she had foreseen all of this, Hatsune Miku smiled and gently stroked Bronya's hair with her delicate hands.

"After all, that wasn't your original intention, Bronya, was it?"

"…Yes."

“That’s really great hair, it makes you look so cute… So, Bronya, you don’t need to blame yourself so much.”

Is this person really this kind of person, even though it's only the first time we've met...?

Whether it was Bronya, Kiana, or Raiden Mei, they were all stunned when they saw Hatsune Miku's appearance.

However, now is not the time to concern ourselves with these things.

"Hey."

On the other side, a white figure landed directly from the other side of the spaceship.

"I've corrected the ship back to its normal flight path. What you do next is entirely up to you."

"Hey? Wait a minute—!"

His style of doing things is simply unbelievably cold-blooded.

Seeing that Accelerator was about to turn around and leave, Kiana couldn't help but want to call him back.

However, some people have indeed accomplished this.

However, it wasn't Kiana.

Whoosh—ice-like snowflakes began to fall around me.

Accelerator, who had originally intended to leave immediately, was stunned and stood there, feeling someone grab his hand from behind.

Reflection is just reflection; it relies on blacklists and whitelists of harmful and harmless good and evil for filtering. It will not work if the person does not have hostile behavior from the beginning.

At this moment, the only person who can catch you through the reflection is someone who has no ill intentions towards you.

"Are you really in such a hurry to leave?"

That was a somewhat playful voice.

The first person who heard that voice didn't know what to say and turned around helplessly.

"...It's so annoying."

"Hehe...Still as dishonest as ever, Yifang~"

Wha, what?

Under the almost unimaginable gazes of Kiana, Raiden Mei, and Bronya.

—The renowned S-rank Valkyrie of St. Freya Academy couldn't help but lean her body against the white-haired man's shoulder.

"It's been so long... I haven't seen you for months, I really miss you."

"Tsk... Now is not the time for this kind of thing, is it? Or are you the kind of brat who won't change unless you're lectured?"

"So, does this mean you'll wait until everything calms down before spending some quality time alone with them again?"

"No way... Don't try to twist other people's thoughts like that."

"Hey hehe~"

"...You don't really have the personality of a three-year-old, do you?"

What the heck is going on?!

The Valkyries were completely petrified on the spot.

"Waaaaah!! Mei, Mei Mei! Hatsune, Hatsune-san actually—waaaaaah!!"

"Bronya is really troubled by Kiana's current charm, so please refrain from speaking for now."

Seeing Kiana about to scream, Bronya immediately pressed her hand to Kiana's mouth.

In any case, this whole farce has finally come to a complete end.

—The Moon Throne, which had been flying over Canghai City, simply left and flew off in a new direction.

——————————————————————————————————————————

This is St. Freya Academy.

The school principal, Theresa Apocalypse, is a Valkyrie with S-rank strength, but she has not accepted the title.

As the headmistress of this academy, everyone takes her as their role model, striving forward and doing their best to reach a higher level of power.

then.

—Even a highly respected school principal like this is now forced to face such a terrifying scene.

"Go ahead."

Theresa sat in her chair with a helpless expression.

In front of her, a man was holding a pistol, pointing it mercilessly at her head.

Accelerator.

Holding the pistol named Silver Wing in his hand, he looked coldly at Theresa in front of him.

"Will you tell me yourself, or should I personally extract all the information from you?"

"So I already said... you're way too anxious!!"

The truth is this:

Accelerator did not leave immediately, but followed the warship to Valkyrie and the others' destination.

His destination was this very academy, one he had visited before—St. Freya Academy.

The first thing to do after arriving here is to find the headmistress, Theresa.

One-way needs to get to the bottom of this.

"That girl told me that when she first came here, she was in a city, and then, when she was about to leave, she was suddenly surrounded by people from Destiny, and the person who came looking for her was you..."

"After all, that was a powerful being who directly killed all the Honkai Beasts in an entire city. We can't just let it go like this."

"That's quite right."

Accelerator doesn't care what their motives are for doing all this.

For him, the most important people are those around him: Last Order, Aiho Yomikawa, Kikyo Yoshikawa, the side stories… and Hatsune Miku.

He may have already broken away from the camps of darkness and light, but he would never allow strangers to decide the future of those around him.

"Whoa! You're really something! We haven't seen each other for over two years, and the first thing you say after we meet is a threat!"

"I don't know you well at all, there's no need for small talk."

This is absolutely incomprehensible.

Accelerator was so calm during our previous conversation, but he suddenly became so irritable when this kind of thing came up!

—Huh? If that's the case…

"Oh? I mean, you wouldn't—"

Theresa suddenly changed her expression, no longer caring about the pistol pointed at her head.

A gossipy smile crept onto her face.

"You wouldn't be fighting so hard just because you feel like we're suddenly targeting that girl, would you?"

"…ah?"

"Anyone can see that!"

After seeing Accelerator's surprised expression, Theresa's gossip-loving spirit was ignited even more.

"If that's the case, let me help you! Look, that girl is currently at St. Freya Academy. If I arrange for you to share a dorm room with her, and it's just the two of you there, wouldn't you be able to have sex tonight—"

Bang!

Before Theresa could finish speaking, a bullet hole appeared in the wall behind her.

The monster in front of them twirled the pistol in its hand with just one hand.

"Shut up or get shot, you'd better choose one."

"No...no way! You, you're actually serious?!"

"Or do you want me to go all out?"
