After clearing Type Moon, start fighting for a better world

In the living room of Xiachuan's house, a plate of exquisitely presented macarons was placed in front of Rita. At the same time, a pot of fine black tea was prepared for her. Xiachuanhu sat down opposite her and said, "I don't know your taste very well, so I prepared snacks according to our taste. Try it. Also, the black tea may be a little hot, so please be careful."

"No, no, I'm honored..."

The day's classes have long ended and now is free time after school.

Rita usually spends her after-school time on self-training, such as going to the gym to exercise, or systematically reviewing what she has learned today. She also previews tomorrow's lessons in advance.

But today after school -

[Rita-san, Mr. Ragnar asked me to take care of you. If it’s convenient, can I take up some of your time? ]

Because of what Xiachuan Hu said, Rita went to his house with him.

Looking at Xiachuan Hu in front of her with a smile as bright as the sun, Rita couldn't help but think of things about him.

(Teacher Natsukawa... Although he joined the company two years ago, he officially started teaching last year. He founded the El-Melloi Classroom and teaches the Honkai energy control and application technology he developed personally. I remember it was called [Destiny Ritual], right?)

When Rita enrolled last year, she happened to catch the first enrollment of the El-Melloi classroom, but she did not join at that time. After all, a new classroom was still a little unsettling. In order to better become a Valkyrie, Rita followed Ragnar's advice and joined a general classroom.

But even so, Rita often heard about the teacher Xiachuan in front of her - mainly because he was so handsome!

All students at the Valkyrie Training Center are women. In order to avoid certain bad situations, all faculty and staff are also women, either active Valkyries, retired Valkyries, or some people related to the Destiny recruited from outside to work.

In a nutshell, it is a country of women.

Natsukawa Tora is the only male teacher. When the El-Melloi classroom was first established last year, there were a lot of rumors and ridicule. But if Rita is right, it seems that all the bad rumors disappeared in less than a week.

Instead, there were rave reviews for Xiachuanhu!

A handsome boy with a look that makes people want to protect him, a gentle and kind attitude towards everyone, elegant and polite manners, easy-to-understand teaching content... plus the excellent cooking skills now displayed in front of Rita!

Although he has not yet developed to the point of being a heartthrob, even in his current state he can be said to be a well-known figure in the school. Everyone wants to get along well with such an excellent male teacher.

But now Rita was invited to his home alone by him...

"Rita-san, are you nervous?"

After observing Rita's demeanor and physical condition, Xia Chuanhu smiled and said, "It's true that this is what happens when you first visit a stranger's home. Anyway, eat some snacks and drink some black tea. This will help you calm down."

“…Understood.”

Picking up the fragrant black tea in front of her, Rita carefully took a sip.

(Eh?)

For some reason, the moment Rita took a sip of the black tea, she calmed down instantly.

"feel better now?"

"Mm, mm, very delicious black tea. Thank you, Mr. Xiachuan, for your hospitality."

"You're welcome."

(It seems that using tea leaves that have been treated with magic is the right choice.)

Although he has not officially joined the Botanical Department, Xiachuan Hu has a good relationship with the Botanical Department of the Clock Tower. He can be said to be a master in the field of alchemy. Even the witches of the Age of Gods can't beat him in the field of alchemy - mainly because there is a scumbag in his family who wants to drug him at any time, and he will not feel at ease if he doesn't master some countermeasures.

In the past five years, in order to study the destiny technique and for emergency response, Xia Chuanhu has made a lot of experimental preparations. For example, this kind of black tea that can be used to calm the mind is prepared by him for Bianca and Kiana. The two of them will play around at any time, and when talking doesn't work, just give them a cup of black tea, and they will turn into quiet ladies in minutes.

But recently Vita seems to have started drinking it too, I don’t know why.

"Then let's talk business. Did Mr. Ragnar explain the situation to you?"

"Yes, because the teacher has to go out for a long-term mission, Mr. Xiachuan will come to the second grade to substitute for the class and help me with after-school tutoring, right?"

"That's right. I got the schedule between you and her from Mr. Ragnar. How should I put it..."

Xia Chuanhu took out a piece of paper from somewhere, scanned the schedule on it, and then put it down gently: "Rita, you are really serious. Even during the holidays, you arrange such a full training for yourself. You only sleep 5 hours a day. Don't you feel tired?"

This is totally out of the question for Xiachuan Hu, who only takes a half-hour nap every day.

Rita paused for a moment while holding the teacup, then smiled and said, "It happens sometimes, but if you want to become an excellent Valkyrie, I think you can't do it without hard work. Only by making equal efforts can you reap equal rewards. In order to repay Mr. Ragnar for saving my life, and to help more people attacked by Honkai in the future, I must train well."

"I came to Tianming with such hope, Sensei."

Both sense of sight.

Xiachuan Hu looked at Rita speechlessly - the moment he saw her, he remembered the memory of [Rita Rossweisse].

In memory, Rita was a perfect and chic maid. As one of the only three S-class Valkyries, she could juggle a lot of work at the same time, whether it was taking care of Kiana's daily life in the future, or attacking as her adjutant. She could also successfully complete the secret missions assigned by Otto... It seemed that there was nothing she couldn't do.

(Even if the future is like that, she is now just a relatively good C-rank Valkyrie, and she is still working hard to realize her own ideas. There are some shadows of my past self.)

Xiachuanhu is also a survivor.

Having survived the Fourth Holy Grail War, he went to the Clock Tower at Kenneth's invitation for various reasons, and in front of King Arthur's Tomb in Glastonbury, he determined his goals and ideals that he has been practicing until now.

Rita, the one who was rescued, is somewhat similar to him at that time.

"I understand. Then you should just live and train at your own pace. Our training will start this Friday after school. By the way, I will also give special lessons to my Bianca and Kiana next door, so you will have to train together. If possible, I still hope that you can become friends with them."

"Okay, teacher. I'll come visit you again on Friday. Today I will..."

“Eat the macarons first.”

Xia Chuanhu stopped Rita who was about to get up and leave: "Just think of it as a reward for your hard work. You said it yourself, only hard work can bring rewards, and rewards are not limited to your own growth. Praise from others is also a kind of reward."

"Teacher...thank you very much. I will bother you for a while longer."

The somewhat straightforward compliment made Rita's face reveal an irrepressible joy. She sat back in her seat obediently and savored Xia Chuanhu's cooking carefully.

----------------

And at the stairs on the second floor.

Squatting in the corner and looking at the situation in the living room, Vita covered her mouth slightly.

(Macarons made by Tiger... I want to eat them too!)

23. Taking care of children is also a form of exercise

Rita has always believed that the training is very rigorous.

Even the after-school tutoring that Ragnar gave her was very strict during training, leaving her with very little time to rest. Ragnar was not as amiable as usual, but instead showed a sternness that did not discredit the position of [Destiny Combat Instructor].

That was the training that Rita wanted to receive, and it was also the training that she believed could really make her stronger. In fact, under Ragnar's special training, she did become a leader among the C-class Valkyries. It was not unreasonable to say that she was a B-class Valkyrie.

Therefore, Rita was very much looking forward to the training arranged by Natsukawa Tora for her. After all, it was a teacher specially found for her by her respected teacher Ragnar. During a week, Rita had been thinking about how she could keep up with Natsukawa Tora's training.

However.......

"Sister Rita! I'm going to serve!"

Why am I playing tennis with my kids in the US right now?

Today is Saturday.

The location is a stadium attached to an orphanage in California, USA.

Rita, who was supposed to be training with Natsukawa Tiger, is now holding a tennis racket and playing tennis with the children across the court.

"Rita-senpai! Keep going!"

"Don't take it so seriously, Rita. The most important thing is to have fun with the kids."

"No, no, no, brother, if you let Sister Rita take care of it quickly, then I can take the lead, right?"

On the side of the tennis court, Bianca and Kiana, who were sitting with Natsukawa Tiger, were also holding tennis rackets and wearing sports-friendly clothes like Rita, looking like they could play tennis anytime and anywhere - by the way, both of them had looks of anticipation on their faces.

And not far away...

"I'm sorry, Xia Chuan, for bothering you like this every time."

"No, after all, I am responsible for the current situation, so it is only natural for me to come and take care of the children." Xia Chuanhu looked in the direction where the voice came from, "How about you, how are you this month, Cocolia?"

"Me? As you can see, I'm busy with the children and anti-entropy every day."

Coming up to Xiachuanhu, Cocolia, who was wearing a dark green coat, chuckled and said, "I feel like I've lost a lot of hair recently. I'm almost turning into an old lady. In comparison, you haven't changed at all. You're still as young and cute as you were five years ago."

"Cute isn't a word to describe me, is it?"

The orphanage where Xiachuanhu and others are now is the one set up by Anti-Entropy five years ago to support Kokolia's operations in Siberia. Although Tianming had already reached a cooperation with Kokolia, perhaps in order to prevent Tianming from intervening too much, Anti-Entropy also responded quickly afterwards.

Kokolia was invited by the Anti-Entropy Headquarters to serve as the dean almost four and a half years ago. She also served as a senior cadre of Anti-Entropy, responsible for many affairs in Siberia. Normally, she stayed in Siberia. Now she appeared here because of the short vacation once a month, specially to come back to accompany the children.

At the same time, this is also the reason why Xiachuanhu appears here.

When Cocolia took office as the dean here, she contacted Xiachuan Hu privately, hoping that he could come here more often to spend time with the children.

Xia Chuanhu agreed to this matter without thinking too much. After all, he liked children very much. In addition, he could come to the United States to discuss the progress of Gundam development with Anti-Entropy and consult about the information of new glue. By the way, he could also let his two little ones expand their circle of friends - it can be said that there are only benefits and no harm.

The result is now like this: almost every time Cocolia is on vacation, he is invited to the United States. And when he is not free, Vita brings Kiana and Bianca.

"Hello, Sister Cocolia!"

"Hello sister!"

Seeing Cocolia coming, Bianca and Kiana also greeted her one after another. The two calls of "sister" made Cocolia smile and she couldn't suppress it. "Well, hello to you too, do you want some chocolate?"

"Yes!" ×2

The abacus beads in these two little ones' hearts are about to jump out.

Looking at the two people who ran out happily after getting chocolate from Cocolia, Xia Chuanhu sighed and said, "You don't have to prepare snacks for them every time."

"You have to take special care of sweet-talking children. If you call me sister, I can give you chocolates. I still remember the way you called me sister when we first met five years ago."

"Yes, yes, Big Sister~~~"

Xia Chuanhu responded perfunctorily, and Cocolia smiled with satisfaction, then looked at Rita who had already started playing tennis with the children: "But what surprised me is that you actually brought another child here. Is that the new child you took in?"

"No, I was just asked to help take care of her for a while. I brought her here just to give her some special [training]."

"I was asked to do this by someone... a woman?"

After a pause, Cocolia asked this question out of the blue.

Xia Chuanhu tilted his head: "Yeah, what's wrong?"

"...Nothing, I just thought it was true. I've been wanting to ask you for a while, do you know too many women?"

"I felt the same way. A new girl moved into my house a while ago, and I also got in touch with an old acquaintance I hadn't contacted for a long time. Why do you look unhappy, Cocolia?"

"Really? No."

Cocolia crossed her arms and looked quite calm: "By the way, that kid is pretty good. It looks like this is his first time playing tennis, but his skills are very good and his physical ability is pretty good."

"She is a Valkyrie after all. Even if she is C-rank, her physical abilities are unmatched by other children. I don't think any of your children can beat her."

In the short time that Xiachuan Hu and Cocolia were talking, Rita had already scored several points. The kid playing against her didn't even touch the ball, let alone score.

There is still a big gap between ordinary children and Valkyries.

"Really? That's hard to say."

"Oh?"

"Would you like to have a bet, Xia Chuan?" Cocolia said with a smile, "If one of my children can beat the child you brought, then you can promise me one thing, how about that?"

A sudden gamble.

After staring at Cocolia's eyes, Xia Chuanhu raised the corner of his mouth: "What's wrong? You suddenly feel like this."

"I just want to have some fun. Don't you agree? If you win, I can promise you something."

"You don't think this kind of low-level provocation is useful?"

Even Xia Chuanhu, who had simple means, couldn't laugh.

However, there was nothing wrong in playing with her, and I could just consider it as part of the training for Rita.

"Let's make the conditions more relaxed. As long as the kid on your side can score one point, you win."

"...You said it yourself, don't regret it."

"When have I ever regretted anything? But let me be clear, the things you promise must be within our understanding and acceptable range."

"Of course."

24. A treatment only you can enjoy
