"One, a week?!"
Fairy Ellie immediately checked the heart-shaped device at her waist. Her magical energy was being depleted every moment, and the thought of spending a whole week here made her heart bleed.
If you don't replenish your energy in time, your energy will definitely be depleted after a week!
Let alone going back, given Xia Yuan's tendency to only give out and never take in, he might be trapped here for the rest of his life.
After struggling internally for a long time, the fairy Ellie checked her remaining magical energy with indescribable feelings. Even though it was already empty and even negative, she was mentally prepared.
But when she saw the heart-shaped device, which had hardly diminished and was even much taller than before, she rubbed her still-drowsy eyes in disbelief. Was she still half asleep, or was she still in a dream?
How could the fairy's magical energy be so abundant?
"It hurts!"
Ellie pinched her cheek. This really wasn't a dream. Let alone bringing two people, this much magical energy was more than enough for one more person. With a little more effort, she could even awaken the Pink Fairy.
Shocked, she became very curious about what her zookeeper had been doing over the past week.
With excitement in her heart, the fairy Ellie leaned close to Xia Yuan's ear and whispered to the Spring Fairy, "Little Xia Yuan, what have you been doing this past week? Why is your magical energy so abundant? Could it be that Spring Fairy is really carrying two little fairies?"
She thoughtfully reconstructed the events that had transpired.
No wonder A-Quan's attitude towards her changed so much, and he even offered her coconut juice. But how will Xiao Xia Yuan explain this to Mei and the others when she gets back?
Mei is relatively easy to explain, since she is quite understanding now, but Bronya is a different story.
Immediately afterwards—
Fairy Ellie felt a sharp tap on her head.
"Ellie, don't overthink it. Things haven't gotten to that point yet." To be specific, he's done everything he can... except for the final step, because he doesn't know exactly how much energy is needed, so he can only make up for the quality gap by doing it a lot more often.
He has developed as many areas as possible, doing his utmost.
"What? No Little Fairy or Little Xia Yuan? Then how did you do it, Little Xia Yuan? I'm so curious!" The curiosity made the fairy Ili temporarily forget the pain on her head, and she kept asking Xia Yuan all sorts of questions.
This is related to the awakening time of Miss Pink Fairy.
If her keeper went back and did that a few more times, wouldn't she no longer need to play the cute fairy? She regained her body, loudly proclaiming her sovereignty, and then Mei slept on her right, while Xiao Xiayuan slept on her left.
One in each hand.
If she had known this would happen, she should have remained unconscious for a longer period of time.
"Xia Yuan, are your shoulders sore? Let Ai Li rub them for you, okay? After you're done, tell Ai Li what happened, okay?" But no matter how much the fairy Ai Li coaxed him, Xia Yuan remained unmoved.
The past is too painful to recall; he no longer wants to remember what happened with Ah Quan during that week.
"Human, the person you are trying to save seems to be waking up ahead of schedule."
Reminded by the Spring Fairy, Xia Yuan quickly approached Aunt Himeko, who was soaking in the spring water. He noticed that her fingertips were twitching slightly, which was undoubtedly a sign that she was about to wake up.
Fairy Airi and the Spring Fairy also came over and joined in the fun.
"Xia Yuan, I think with this surprise, even if you get the little elf, Bronya won't blame you."
"Ok?"
Xia Yuan quickly covered the fairy Ai Li's mouth, telling her not to say anything that would slander his innocence.
Himeko Murata slowly opened her eyes. She had never felt so relaxed before. She seemed to have had a short but beautiful dream in which she dreamed of her students.
Kiana, Mei, and Bronya, now grown up, waved to her with big smiles, as if welcoming her arrival.
Was it a dream?
She struggled to open her eyes, only to find herself in that unfamiliar and jarring space, the sky a hazy gray.
"Is this the Imaginary Space? I wonder how Kiana is doing now?"
Himeko looked around and noticed that her body seemed to be enveloped by a flowing spring. In addition, there were two figures standing beside her, each holding what appeared to be some kind of armed doll.
But hasn't this technology been officially put into actual combat yet?
Men with Honkai adaptability are rare, and each one should have a detailed record in Schicksal. Why haven't I seen him in the Schicksal archives? Did he save me?
But she had to remind the other party.
Even with Honkai adaptability, one cannot be exposed to imaginary space for an extended period without wearing armor.
Out of the Valkyrie's duty.
Even though her voice was hoarse from not speaking for so long, Himeko still forced herself to speak, saying, "This...this place is dangerous, please hurry..."
"What's dangerous? This is just a place to store snacks, isn't it? Your voice is hoarse, have some coconut juice to soothe it." The Spring Fairy suddenly appeared beside her, interrupting her and casually shoving the straw she was using into her mouth.
Kiana?!
Miss Spring Fairy was puzzled. She had clearly asked the human to change the imposter's armor and put on her own comfortable and cool swimsuit, so how could the other party still mistake her for someone else?
Does she really look that similar to Kiana?
Before A-Quan could refute, Xia Yuan quickly pulled Quan Bao behind him, "Let me explain... Sister Himeko, this is actually a misunderstanding."
Xia Yuan explained the whole story, including the cause and details of the incident, and why he was there.
A long time passed.
"You mean, you're from the future, and the Honkai from that time has been sealed on the moon?!"
Chapter 636 Bro, you're so considerate.
"You mean humanity ultimately defeated the Honkai, and the person next to you isn't Kiana, but a spring spirit from another world's bubble, who just looks exactly like Kiana?"
Xia Yuan nodded.
After receiving confirmation from the other party, Aunt Himeko finally came to her senses from the astonishing amount of information revealed.
She needed something to drink to calm herself down, and the coconut juice provided by Miss Spring Fairy made up for it just in time. Although it wasn't the kind of drink she wanted right now, it at least helped her calm down a bit.
She actually believed what the other party said.
Because the armed doll that the young man in front of him is holding is not a technology that Destiny can currently put into actual combat.
But if the person in front of him wasn't Kiana, then where was the Kiana who was originally possessed by the Herrscher of the Void? Perhaps he guessed something from Himeko's expression, Xia Yuan pointed to the unconscious Herrscher of the Void not far away.
"Hey, the real Qi Bao is over there."
In fact, the other party had woken up several times during the week, but unfortunately, because of the lack of medication, the Herrscher of the Void had been occupying the body. He had no choice but to ask the other party to go back to sleep.
Perhaps the two are already locked in a fierce battle at the level of consciousness, but he believes that Qi Bao will definitely be able to regain control of her body.
Seeing Kiana lying quietly in the spring, Aunt Himeko, who had just woken up, staggered towards her. She wanted to take another look at her student, but her legs seemed to be outside her own, and she was about to collapse after only a few steps.
Fortunately, Xia Yuan, who was standing nearby, reacted quickly and helped the other person up in time.
"Thanks, buddy. You're so considerate. I'd really like to buy you a drink. Why don't we have good men like you in this day and age?"
He could even feel the other person's sigh.
Looking back, Aunt Himeko's past achievements might be due to her constitution of being immune to men, or even the vague development of a certain obsession, which usually manifested when she was drinking heavily. She also often complained to Theresa all day long because she didn't have a partner.
But... Xia Yuan still couldn't help but shudder.
He has so much debt that he really can't handle any more. Aunt Himeko shouldn't be that desperate, right?
Feeling the other person's slightly stiff body, Himeko laughed heartily and put her arm around Xia Yuan's shoulder as if they were old friends, making it easier for him to support her. Her mature and cheerful voice echoed in his ears.
"Haha, buddy, don't take it to heart. I was just joking. Otherwise, if word got out, Theresa would laugh at me for the rest of my life, saying that I can't find a partner in the industry and that I'm only going after my students' generation?"
Aunt Himeko's behavior of wanting to date younger men.
Xia Yuan could only smile awkwardly at this; as long as Teacher Ji Zi was happy.
"Alright, I've been so busy talking to myself. Hey buddy, why don't you tell me more about your story?"
"mine?"
There's really nothing to talk about with him. Should he complain to Aunt Himeko about how unpleasant his work at Bronya is?
"For example, what might happen in the future. Of course, if you don't want to talk about your own things, then let's talk about my students, or my colleague Theresa... how are they doing in the future?"
Just like a casual chat after drinking, Aunt Himeko spoke first.
It was a rare treat to have a drinking buddy to chat with. When she arrived here, she had already made up her mind that she would never have the chance to chat like this again.
"Theresa... will not only manage St. Freya Academy in the future, but also serve as the Archbishop of Destiny."
Aunt Himeko is a very good listener.
Even though Theresa had become the Archbishop of Destiny, she didn't interrupt. She was just thinking to herself, maybe she could ask Theresa to give her a raise.
After all, they will all become bishops of Destiny in the future. Isn't it reasonable to give an old friend a raise?
Or you could reimburse her for the cost of drinks.
If Xia Yuan could hear Aunt Ji Zi's thoughts at this moment, he would definitely agree wholeheartedly, as he deeply admired her ideals and pursuits.
"After the Honkai Impact ended, Bronya also laid down her burdens and pursued her dreams. She co-founded a game studio with Mr. Welt and became a well-known game producer. I'll let you in on a secret, Himeko-sensei: after Bronya left Schicksal, Theresa was depressed for a long time and even had Bronya's driver's license revoked because of it."
"Haha, that's very much in the style of Theresa and Bronya."
She knew Bronya was very talented in games, and as a teacher, she would encourage her students to pursue their dreams, but when did Bronya learn to drive fast? It seems that Bronya's legs should be able to walk on the ground now.
She was genuinely happy for her students.
Just because her driver's license was suspended, is Theresa sure she's not taking revenge? If I had the chance, I'd really like to hear her explanation...
"Mei now holds an important position in Schicksal and also serves as the captain of the Third Squad."
Himeko nodded.
This aligns with her view of Mei: steady, responsible, and very reliable. As a teacher, she feels proud that her student can stand on her own.
"As for Kiana... Himeko-sensei, why don't you take a guess?"
Xia Yuan kept everyone in suspense for the time being.
She failed every round of the Valkyrie exams, she caused herself a lot of trouble with her mischievous antics, and she even got scolded by her boss Theresa... but none of this could compare to the smile on Theresa's face, as if nothing could defeat her.
Didn't she come here to protect that pure and beautiful smile?
"As a teacher, I hope that they can live carefree lives and grow up healthily. At their age, they shouldn't be fighting against the Honkai, but should be sleeping in and eating snacks to their heart's content, right?"
But this was just wishful thinking on her part.
Himeko understood that Kiana, being at the center of the vortex, would be trapped in it no matter what she did or where she was, and would be unable to escape.
"Kiana inherited your will, Himeko-sensei, and carried the wishes of everyone. She pioneered a path that was unprecedented and worked together with everyone to defeat the Honkai. Now she guards her home on the moon and has become a true goddess of the earth."
With just a few words, she could sense the hardships and difficulties on that thorny path.
Chapter 637 Stealing her man?!
"I think... young man, you didn't just come here specifically to talk to me, right?"
Himeko paused in front of the Herrscher of the Void. If what the young man said was true, Kiana would inherit her will and continue to move forward, which meant that at that time, she would not be able to accompany her on her journey.
Think about it too.
If it weren't for the young man next to her saving her, she might have fallen down along with the gradually collapsing imaginary space.
"Himeko-sensei, come back with me. Even though Qibao hasn't mentioned it, she must miss you terribly. She just doesn't want to see everyone looking sad, so she keeps it to herself."
At this moment, Xia Yuan was unable to calm down.
He extended his hand to Aunt Himeko, inviting her to join him, and waited for her reply, not wanting Qibao to have any regrets in her heart.
Himeko noticed the slight trembling of his fingertips, gently patted his back, and comforted him:
"Hey bro, don't get so worked up... I didn't say I wasn't going. Just think of it as an early retirement. Actually, I really want to see my students who have grown up and can stand on their own."
"Phew, welcome, Himeko-sensei."
Xia Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. He was still wondering if he would have to have A-Quan forcibly take Aunt Ji Zi back if she didn't want to go back with him.
"By the way, if I don't plan to go back with you, will you knock me out and tie me up to take me back?"
"How could that be? After the Honkai ended, everyone longed for the hard-won peace. How could I, who longs for peace, do something so outrageous to Himeko-sensei?"
First, he can't beat them.
Secondly, he only needs to give the order himself.
Third, the one who took action was A-Quan, and the one who kidnapped the fairy was Ai-Li. What does it have to do with him? He was only responsible for carrying the people back.
"Then, in that case, I'm considered one of yours, so you'll have to take full responsibility for me from now on~" Himeko took the initiative to grasp the other's slightly trembling hand, holding it firmly before teasing him.
