But does that really explain the meaning of the title "Mom"?

Under Himeko's questioning gaze, the scene displayed on the light screen made her even more puzzled.

"Is that... me?"

Under Himeko's puzzled, tilted-head gaze, an elegant red-haired woman appeared on the light screen.

Chapter 86 Several Good Mothers

Himeko wasn't the only one confused by the title appearing on the screen; everyone at St. Freya Academy looked at her with bewilderment.

They were all engrossed in the scene of Himeko sacrificing herself to save Kiana, so what was the meaning of this kind of thing suddenly appearing in the title?

Does this mean that the future Himeko actually survived and started her own family?

The teary-eyed crowd wiped away their tears and looked curiously at the screen, where they saw a woman with fiery red hair, as beautiful as a rose—

However, the students at St. Freya Academy looked even more puzzled, because they noticed that the "Himeko" who appeared in the light screen seemed to be...

Is she different from the Himeko they know?

Amidst puzzled gazes, the title slowly appeared.

How many good mothers do you actually have outside the marriage?

………………

………………

The first person to appear in front of everyone through the light screen was a beautiful woman with the same fiery red hair and stunning looks as Himeko, but this Himeko was much more elegant than Himeko Murata, who taught at St. Freya Academy.

Everyone at St. Freya Academy knows that Teacher Himeko is only serious during class and battles; in private, she's always drunk and seems unreliable.

However, the Himeko in the light screen was of upright character, elegant and dignified. Her beautiful cheongsam and waist-length hair cascading down her back exuded a tranquil beauty.

She sat gracefully, teacup in hand, legs crossed, exuding a captivating charm, seemingly oblivious to the deafening explosion behind her—

"Elegance" is the perfect word to describe this beautiful lady.

The Himeko in the light screen was younger than the Himeko from St. Freya Academy, but her expression conveyed a composure that came with having weathered many storms.

What the two Himeko have in common is the gentleness hidden deep in their eyes.

The scene shifts to inside a train carriage. In the spacious, luxurious carriage, the beautiful Ms. Himeko is embraced on both sides. On her left, she strokes March 7th's sleeping face, while on her right, she soothes Pioneer Star's ahoge (cowlick).

Just looking at this scene, it's a heartwarming picture of a young mother and her two well-behaved daughters in their ordinary daily life.

Although this Miss Himeko was still young, the maternal instincts emanating from her made the two young girls very comfortable.

As the title clearly states, the scenes in this video are obviously not so mild—

With the intrusion of an uninvited guest, both March 7th and Hoshi, who were fast asleep in the carriage, opened their eyes. Himeko, in particular, kept a close eye on the "distinguished guest" who had barged into the Starry Sky Train.

The projection of a woman in a coat appeared in the carriage. Her long, slender legs were encased in alluring purple stockings, and her figure was accentuated by a tight white shirt. The elegant trench coat and sunglasses further highlighted her stunning beauty.

This violet-haired beauty was as alluring and deadly as a spider, far more terrifying than the rose-like Himeko.

"Star Core Hunter? What brings you here?"

At this moment, Ms. Himeko displayed her maturity and reliability, protecting the cat-like March 7 and the bewildered Hoshino, while confronting the intruding purple figure.

Like a mother hen protecting her chicks, Himeko frowned as she stared at the intruder, her gentle gaze turning into a sharp edge as she confronted an enemy.

Especially after the visitor expressed interest in the star, Himeko's mother questioned his intentions even more harshly, as if vying for her place as mother. The uninvited "distinguished guest" didn't seem friendly towards Himeko; her projection passed directly through Himeko and arrived before the pioneer "star."

Hi~ Long time no see

The Trail Blazers were clearly puzzled by Kafka's arrival and didn't understand why she had been approached.

The scene then shifts and flashes by, showing the events before the Trailblazers awaken and gain consciousness.

The pioneer, who was merely a star core, was projected and printed out, followed by the beautiful Miss Kafka pushing the deadly star core into the pioneer's chest with her bare hands!

"You remember nothing but me~"

"Although there's still so much I want to tell you, it's too late now. There will be another chance later."

I'm really looking forward to the day we meet again!

Kafka's whispers in the Trailblazer's ear became fragmented images as the star's consciousness blurred, and then the light screen shifted again—

The scene depicts Kaffa's interactions with the pioneers, including being hunted and wanted on the celestial ship until being caught by the stars.

Hi, long time no see! Did you miss me?

"You haven't changed much... I'm so sorry to have you see me looking so disheveled."

"The infamous Star Core Hunter did all this just to make you a great hero. How about that? Unexpected, isn't it?"

Faced with Xing's disdain, questioning, and pity, Kaffa's eyes and expressions revealed a mix of relief, sadness, and an unwavering gentle smile, demonstrating the maternal instinct hidden beneath her glamorous and threatening exterior.

After being arrested aboard the Immortal Ship, she secretly spent time alone with Xing, engaging in a game of truth and falsehood in their conversations. Although she couldn't distinguish between the real and the fake, her meticulous care and affection for Xing were still evident.

Besides Kafka, Blade, who was also a Star Core Hunter, provided the most crucial information—

"Those who were around Kaffa usually lost their lives; you were the one who survived the longest by her side."

"I don't know how she did it... but Kaffa must have done a lot to keep you alive."

The words uttered from Leng Junren's mouth stunned Xing, making her ponder the truth of those words.

Because Blade wasn't as gentle and friendly as Kafka, Hoshino, who hadn't engaged in a "truth-or-false dialogue game," couldn't discern the truthfulness of his words.

However, if these words are true, then everything Kaffa did for her, all that tenderness and kindness…

…………

The scene with Kafka is frozen here for now, and everyone roughly understands Kafka's relationship with that pioneer star.

Compared to Himeko's mother, who guides the stars on the Star Train, Kaffa's mother's secret work remains unknown, but when a glimpse of it is revealed, one can better appreciate all that she has done for the stars in the shadows.

Undoubtedly, Kafka fits the description of a "mother" in the title, but she's more like a mother who's far removed from her child, forced to entrust him to others for foster care, and who secretly provides him with love.

Especially the hostile attitude between Kaffa and Himeko upon meeting, it was more like a scene of a stepmother and her biological mother fighting over a child.

However, the "several good mothers" mentioned in the title are clearly not just Himeko and Kafka—

Amidst the "o.0?" gazes of the crowd, several figures flashed across the screen:

The eldest sister, "Black Swan," in an elegant violet evening gown; the graceful beauty, Ruan Mei, in a blue phoenix cheongsam; and Cocolia with her blonde hair tied up.

There's even Estella, the extravagant rich woman who casually tossed a card with an unknown amount of money in front of Hoshino, and the indifferent, petite loli-like mother, Black Tower.

Whether it's the elegant and considerate Himeko or the secretly caring Kaffa, despite their incompatibility, their roles as "mothers" are both acceptable.

But what about those few people who flashed by in the video?

Leaving aside Himeko and Kaffa, who are both incredibly maternal, how can "Black Swan," Nguyen Mai, and Cocolia be included in the ranks of "good mothers"?

Does that mean any mature older woman can be a star's mother?

Forget about more mature girls, even a petite and delicate little girl like Black Tower can be considered a mother?

A little girl mom?!

There's even a "rich mom" like Estella who throws huge sums of money at Hoshino?!

What kind of situation is this, Sugar Mommy?

Did they witness some shady scene of a rich woman keeping a mistress?

But the shocking part wasn't over yet; among the fleeting figures in the scene, there were even star cores and a trash can?!

The slight smiles on everyone's faces, previously softened by the overflowing maternal love emanating from Himeko and Kaffa, instantly turned into surprise and doubt, and their gazes towards Hoshi on the light screen became increasingly strange.

Just like the title suggests—

How many good mothers does she actually have?!

........................

Wishing everyone a prosperous and successful new year, and a happy and fulfilling family life!

Chapter 87 Two-Stage Reversal

As the images of "good mothers" flashed by, the students of St. Freya Academy fell silent.

I initially thought it was something to do with Himeko, but I never expected it to be like this...

When the students at St. Freya Academy saw that so many of the "good mothers" in the picture were people they didn't recognize, they began to understand something—

It's probably someone who looks a lot like Himeko, right?

Although Theresa always seems to falter when she appears in the light screen, appearing more like a cute mascot, she is, after all, the beloved granddaughter of the Archbishop of Destiny, the headmistress of St. Freya Academy, and the former S-rank Valkyrie of Destiny.

Theresa considered herself one of the top figures in Schicksal, and she knew almost every prominent warrior fighting against the Honkai.

However, apart from "Himeko" and "Kiana" with pink hair, she didn't recognize any of the figures that flashed by in the scene.

And those names like "Star Train" and "Star Core Hunter" were names she had never heard of before.

Himeko herself looked puzzled, seemingly shocked that there was someone in the picture who looked so much like her.

Theresa also knew roughly about Himeko's experiences; when Himeko underwent the Valkyrie surgery and joined Schicksal, she was still a very energetic young girl.

And what happened to Himeko when she had to retire...

Although Theresa knew that Himeko must have grown, the Himeko she knew after growing up, while composed, was a different type from the Himeko in the picture.

Therefore, Theresa was certain that the people projected in the image were not from their world.

Because the others didn't understand the concept of isotopes, they could only attribute the elegant Himeko in the image to a coincidence.

but……

Is it really possible for two people to look so alike? From hair color to facial features to the mole on their chest, they are exactly the same.

When Himeko appears in the scene, her murmured "yearning for the starry sky" is consistent with Himeko from St. Freya Academy, who also has a curiosity about the stars.

The only difference is its elegant temperament.

but……

If Himeko hadn't undergone the Valkyrie surgery and joined Schicksal, but instead had lived a normal life without any changes, would she have become that kind of elegant lady?
