Sky Striker Princess, but the swan song of Valkyrie.

Perhaps because Rei had not yet woken up, Tachibana Hibiki spoke to Kohinata Mirai with a worried heart.

"No way, Lingyi said this is just her clone."

Kohinata Mirai, however, felt that Tachibana Hibiki's worries were unnecessary.

"But in the future, didn't Lingyi-chan say that her clones are very realistic? Maybe she really will feel uncomfortable from lying on the table for too long."

After thinking for a while, Tachibana Hibiki was still a little concerned. She walked over to Rei's side and explained it to Kohinata Mirai.

"Hibiki, it would be better if we didn't touch Rei's body."

Following closely behind Tachibana Hibiki, Kohinata Mirai seemed to want to stop her actions, her tone slightly obstructive.

"Hmm... It's just about carrying her to bed so that Rei-chan can sleep more comfortably. It should be fine. Besides, it's almost bedtime, and I don't know when Rei-chan will be back."

After thinking about Kohinata Mirai's obstruction for a while, Tachibana Hibiki still didn't feel that there was anything wrong with doing so. No matter how you look at it, sleeping in bed is more comfortable than lying on the table.

"Um……"

Hibiki Tachibana's concerned words made it clear that Mirai Kohinata, standing beside her, might be trying to stop her.

However, watching from a very subtle distance, the beautiful and charming girl who was quietly lying on the dormitory table, breathing evenly, completely unaware of her conversation with Tachibana Hibiki, had her heart slightly wavering.

Indeed, it's not a big deal, just a very small thing. Taking Lingyi, who was lying on the table, to bed so she can get a good night's sleep is a perfectly reasonable thing to do.

But since it makes sense, Kohinata's future is a bit confusing, and she doesn't know why she's so nervous.

"Phew... Okay, Hibiki, you're right. No matter what, we can't let Rei sleep on the table."

Kohinata Mirai Yiqi Lu 1III Wo Er Qun herself didn't know what she was thinking, but she agreed to Tachibana Hibiki's approach.

"Then, I'll help carry Lingyi to bed."

After saying that, Kohinata Mirai smiled and leaned down, swallowed hard, and nervously reached out her hand towards the quiet, unresponsive girl's body.

"The money, the future... um, okay."

Hibiki Tachibana originally wanted to say that she could carry Rei up by herself, that she had the strength, but since Mirai Kohinata decided to help, she didn't say anything more.

So, with Hibiki Tachibana supporting her upper body and Mirai Kohinata holding Rei's lower body, they carefully placed the doll-like girl with long platinum blonde hair onto their upper bunk, step by step.

[Wow, such high realism! It's practically like a real body. The calves feel so good, and the skin is so soft. Is this how Zero's original body feels?]

As he placed the girl's body on the bed and looked at this beautiful doll who showed no sign of resistance, Kohinata Mirai found herself unable to suppress her wild thoughts.

"Okay, that's good. That way, when Rei-chan comes over, she won't feel uncomfortable."

Hibiki Tachibana didn't think about it at all; she simply felt that sleeping on a bed would definitely be more comfortable than sleeping on a table.

"Hibiki, you should take off Rei's clothes, right? It's not very comfortable to sleep in your outer clothes, at least... hehe."

[There's nothing we can do about it. It's all Lingyi's fault for saying things like she wanted to use everyday memories to make us forget things. There's nothing we can do about it. As her friend, I can't just watch her sleep like that.]

Taking a light sniff of the faint fragrance that had seeped in, and looking down at the sleeping face not far from her, a strong emotion welled up in Hibiki's heart. Then, with slightly swollen eyes, she uttered this excuse to Hibiki Tachibana in a confused manner.

It should be noted that, compared to Chris, who only joined someone's fanfiction circle later but knew about that circle a long time ago and may have even created related works to some extent, Kohinata Mirai may have more actual experience.

Regarding the possible poses and various positions for a certain person, Kohinata Mirai, while not exactly an expert, had at least fantasized about them hundreds of times while reading.

Of course, she could usually suppress those obviously bad thoughts in her heart with reason, but now that she saw a beautiful body that was completely defenseless and could be used at will, which perfectly matched her fantasies, reason was no longer needed.

"The future, well, you're right."

On the other hand, Hibiki Tachibana felt that something was off about Kohinata, but she couldn't think of a reason not to do it.

As she said this, Kohinata Mirai's hand had already covered it.

Then, very quickly, the delicate blackness slowly faded away, revealing the tender, delicate green skin little by little. Rubbing, rubbing, Kohinata Mirai carefully used her most sensitive palms to feel this touch, which was more real than she had imagined.

The next moment, as the black fabric was completely peeled off to reveal the tender shoots, Kohinata Mirai looked up towards a higher place, where there were still two outer garments that needed to be removed before going to sleep.

"Okay, that's fine."

However, somewhat regrettably, compared to Kohinata Mirai who was still savoring the moment, Tachibana Hibiki acted much faster, quickly removing the outer garment that was affecting Rei's sleep.

"...That's enough, any more...and I might lose control."

Kohinata Mirai felt a little disappointed by her best friend's quick action, but she didn't blame her too much. Her rationality told her that she shouldn't do anything too strange.

"Ah, Mirai, what did you just say?"

With a question mark above her head, Tachibana Hibiki didn't quite understand what her best friend was talking about.

"It's nothing, it's not a big deal. Let's sleep together, Xiang. It's just that it might be a little crowded tonight."

"It's okay, as long as I hold Rei-chan, it won't feel crowded. Ugh, speaking of which, Rei-chan is really comfortable to hold."

Kohinata Mirai gave a simple answer, and after a few more words, the two turned off the dormitory lights, each holding the arm of the doll-like girl, and fell into a deep sleep.

How should I evaluate this? After gaining a deeper understanding of what had just happened, Lingyi felt that she had a more profound understanding of the two girls beside her.

Compared to Hibiki Tachibana, who appears to be a very pure and innocent child emotionally, Mirai Kohinata clearly harbors some kind of desire, at least certainly beyond friendship.

But... it wasn't out of any malice towards me. Oh well, whatever, let them be.

Even though she knew this, Lingyi couldn't bring herself to feel any aversion to it.

After all, she could also sense that Kohinata Mirai's desire was based on her feelings for her, even if it seemed a little distorted, it was still a kind of affection... right?

So, what should we do now? We could disperse, but that goes against my goal of maintaining a normal routine. Hmm, let's try this first.

Having clarified the situation, Lingyi silently prepared to try to extricate herself from the current predicament.

It was easy; she was very good at controlling her body. With a slight movement, Rei successfully pulled her hand out of Kohinata Mirai's arms.

[Next... well, this is a bit tricky.]

Rei slightly turned over, intending to pull her hand out of Hibiki's arms in the same way, but encountered some resistance.

Although she no longer possesses the power of Symphogear, Tachibana's physical training is strong enough that she can hold on even tighter and pull away without waking them.

[...

Even so, with a little effort, Lingyi could still manage it.

However, perhaps because the body pillow she had been using as a calming agent had disappeared, Kohinata Mirai became slightly uneasy in her sleep, groping around, trying to find a new body pillow.

Then, she found it: the slender, boneless waist of the woman in the blouse who had just turned to the side.

【Huh?】Liu Yinqi Yi$ `Erba Temple 8

The situation became slightly worse. The bed, which was already somewhat crowded with three girls, didn't have much room to move around, and now that their bodies were intertwined, it added even more restrictions.

However, if that's all there is to it, with a little more effort, even someone as weak as Kohinata Mirai can break free from the restraints.

However, due to the change in posture, the previously balanced and comfortable state was disrupted, and Hibiki Tachibana wanted to find a more comfortable posture.

Soon, Lingyi's hands were freed, but in their place, her body was tightly clamped between two girls, one in front and one behind.

She could even feel the warm breath coming from in front of her and the back of her neck, and she could clearly feel the soft, warm fragrance of the body pressed tightly against hers, which was slightly different from the scent of the shower gel with a floral fragrance.

[Should I wake them up...? Hmm, no, Tachibana needs to review her lessons tomorrow. If I don't let her rest properly now, I'll suffer even more tomorrow.]

Ah, I remember there's some food in the fridge. I shouldn't starve. Oh well, I'll leave this body like this for tonight.

Faced with this terrible situation, after much deliberation, Lingyi came to the final conclusion that she probably wouldn't be able to escape this body tonight.

[Now, let's use this computing power to assist in searching for the higher-ups of the Light Society. We need to find them from the shadows as soon as possible.]

Once she had confirmed this, Lingyi abandoned the computing power she was investing in this body and instead devoted it to another equally important project she had been working on.

Although Zero has dismantled the outer perimeter and main structure of the Bavarian Light Society, Zero cannot rest easy as long as its leaders have not been captured.

Chapter Twenty-Two: The Suppressed Chris

In a valley at the bottom of a mountain range in Europe, in a desolate wilderness with no tourism or residential value, a house is built against the mountainside.

Inside the house, dim lighting illuminated the surroundings. In the center, Saint-Germain looked worriedly at Cagliostro and Prellati, who were recuperating from serious injuries on two hospital beds.

Since their stronghold was raided by Zero, the Bavarian Light Society has lost many of its peripheral organizations. Now, they can only retreat to this safe house, which is lacking in both equipment and resources, to recuperate.

Due to a lack of resources, even the injuries sustained by Prellati and Cariostro are healing very slowly, and even after nearly two weeks, they still show no signs of waking up.

"Oh dear, Prellati and Cariostro are so lazy, they've been sleeping for so long and are wasting Adam's time."

Just as Saint-Germain was waiting with a little bit of anxiety, a green-haired, loli-shaped mechanical doll appeared noisily behind her, speaking in a way that was slightly enough to raise one's blood pressure.

Under pressure from Zero, and despite their continued concern about Finni's obstruction, the Bavarian Light Society had to launch their plan to seize divine power ahead of schedule.

Fortunately, the initial plan progressed smoothly.

In Valverde, fearing the immense dominance that could emerge from the territorial conflict, the Valverde government sought to establish its base within the boundaries of DieSpinne in an attempt to circumvent potential domination.

As a result, this action actually helped the Light Society. Through the circulation of supplies, they successfully found the government leader's treasure trove and the autonomous doll Tsitsuki, which had been lost in the battle with Finni.

Now, with the help of Antikythera's gears, which they had previously stolen from the National Archaeological Museum of Athens, they have activated the autonomous puppets, possessing the most basic conditions for obtaining divine power.

However, although he knew that this was just Tishie's personality, Saint-Germain was still slightly annoyed that she would make such sarcastic remarks when her two companions were seriously injured.

"Alright, Tsutsumi. After all, they are too weak, and they need a long time to recover after being injured."

“Ah, since Adam, who is most fond of you, has said so, well—you’re really useless, Cagliostro and Prellati.”

Just as Saint-Germain was holding back, Adam, dressed in a white suit, stepped into the room and had a brief chat with Tigi, who was standing close to him.

"Chief, what brings you here at this hour?"

Seeing that the two, one big and one small, were not exactly likable, Saint-Germain went straight to asking them what their purpose was.

"As for how to seize the power of the gods, Saint-Germain, how is your plan coming along? I just want to know the result now."

Adam indifferently urged Saint-Germain to produce the results.

With the entire society almost completely crushed by Zero, and with no hope of retaliation in the distant future, their only hope lies in the power of the legendary gods.

Once they successfully cultivate divine power using life energy, they will be able to reverse their current predicament, gaining not only the power to directly confront Lingyi, but also fulfilling their long-cherished wish.

"...At least T will have to wait until Cagliostro and Prellati wake up."

"Our current goal is to reach the place where the portal to the divine can be opened to hold the ceremony, but to achieve this goal, we need to first reach a suitable place to hold the ceremony."

"This is the most difficult part. Now the whole world is under the control of the Dominator, and any means of transportation and road may become unusable because they are full of the Dominator's spies."

"Unable to use any means of transportation, and with the strongholds destroyed one by one, we now lack the coordinates for phase shifts, so we can only rely on the most primitive and covert method, which is to get there on foot."

"Therefore, the manpower to look after each other and maintain the defensive barrier is absolutely indispensable, and we must wait until Cagliostro and Prellati wake up."

To Adam, who was completely uninvolved and only kept urging him on, Saint-Germain simply explained the current progress in a relatively calm manner.

"Walking, walking... Sigh... If this is the most reasonable option at the moment, then I have no choice but to accept it."

After thinking about Saint-Germain's plans, Adam couldn't find any fault with them.

He was also well aware that they were in a situation where they would be destroyed if discovered, and he agreed with Saint-Germain's considerations regarding secrecy.

After all, no one knew better than him how difficult and hopeless it was to confront that person who was so favored by God.

"Tch, absolutely not! It's unacceptable to admit that something is better than something is completely perfect!"

The thought of countless failures in his memory distorted Adam's expression, and his mood plummeted.

"Is Adam saddened by that wicked person again? Hmm, Tishie will definitely work hard, she will definitely obtain the power of the gods, and then destroy all those who have made Adam sad."

Noticing Adam's bad mood, Tishie spoke up.

"Keep striving, Saint-Germain. After all, rebelling against the ruler is also your dream, so to achieve that dream, you must work even harder, understand?"

Ignoring the noisy puppet, Adam continued to push Saint-Germain to work at full strength.

“I know, I know this much better than you do, Director.”

Turning around, shifting his gaze from the large and small figures to his still silently injured companion, Saint-Germain clenched his fists, suppressed his emotions, and responded to Adam's command.

"Then, let's wait for good news and keep up the good work, Saint-Germain."

After finishing his urging of Saint-Germain for the day, Adam turned and left the room where the two of them were recuperating.

“73788… Sigh, now that things have come to this, we absolutely cannot stop. Even if there are many difficulties ahead, this revolution against domination cannot be stopped.”

Despite the growing pressure on Saint-Germain under Adam's urging, she suppressed her panic and tried to think as calmly as possible about how to break through the thorny path before her.

A distorted environment, blurry images, music with static, and a dreamlike pink filter.

In this scene, the only clear figure is a beautiful, lovely blonde girl crying in front of her, her fragility and anxiety engulfing her young self.

It reminded Chris of the first time she clearly realized the other person's hard yet fragile nature.

Why are you crying? Ugh—okay, okay, stop crying.
