"You stupid subordinate, were you talking in the room just now? I heard you... Hurry up and open the door for me. I'll only count to three. If you don't open it by then, I'll have to use Heavy Bunny to force the hatch open."
Of course, she was joking.
The heavy-duty bunny wasn't even with me; it was just there to get the other person to open the door quickly and stop them from spacing out.
The sound from outside the door startled Miss Hei hope, who quickly covered her mouth and angrily peeked out from behind the curtains, repeatedly slapping Xia Yuan's shoulder.
Not daring to speak out, she could only express her feelings in this way.
With a slightly angry look, he signaled to the other party to quickly implement the other plan; that time he ran into Bronya was embarrassing enough.
"coming."
Xia Yuan calmly replied, quickly drew the curtains back up, and before reaching the cabin door, he casually flipped down the light control switch, plunging the entire room into darkness.
He wanted to use the surrounding darkness to conceal Miss Kurohi's figure hidden behind the curtains.
[The hatch has been opened—]
“You stupid subordinate, you made me wait at the door for a full three minutes. Do you know what that means? And why didn’t you turn on the lights?” She didn’t care about the electricity bill; it was Theresa’s spaceship after all.
Faced with two questions posed by Bronya in quick succession.
He simply shook his head and pointed to the ceiling above the room. "The motion-sensor light in the room is broken. It must be because His Holiness the Bishop hasn't been maintaining it properly. By the way, Duck, didn't you have something to do? Why are you back so soon?"
"Hmph, can't I keep your idiot subordinate company?"
Bronya leaned against the hatch with one hand, raising her pretty eyebrows; she was practically pouting with a rose.
She had originally planned to catch the two guys who had sneaked onto the spaceship, but then she thought, why not just stay by her stupid subordinates' side? Why bother running around in the spaceship's passageway with them?
Their goal was to kidnap their foolish subordinate.
One can fly, and the other can open up imaginary space. If I continue to chase after them like this, it will be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Who knows, her house might get robbed by then, so it's better to just wait and see... But unfortunately, the room lights were broken, so she couldn't enjoy the sight of her idiot subordinate in his Houmu pajamas, which were barely visible.
"Duck, stop playing role-playing games. I'm getting a little scared."
Xia Yuan instinctively protected his shoulder and took a step back.
The way he took a half-step back was serious. When would Bronya ever be so eager to accompany him? When her attitude suddenly becomes extremely nice, it's never a good thing. Either she'll ask him to help pick up a package, or she'll ask him to use scripts to create a bunch of alt accounts in the studio to snatch up limited-edition Houmu dolls.
"Oh?"
"So even you, my silly subordinate, are sometimes afraid of me~"
Bronya's lips curled up slightly, as if recalling the time she bullied the idiot Kiana at St. Freya Academy, and the pleasure of completely crushing her opponent in any field—intelligence, games, etc.—was back.
Being afraid is the right thing to do; that's the expression a subordinate should show when looking at their superior.
Perhaps Bronya's ego was growing, or perhaps it was because she had been repeatedly thwarted in the pursuit, but she slowly walked from the cabin door she was leaning against to her foolish subordinate.
"Duck...little..."
Xia Yuan was about to remind Bronya to watch her step, but an accident still happened. Bronya tripped over the scattered high heels and fell headfirst. He wanted to catch her, but unexpectedly became Bronya's cushion.
He let the other person's deep fasting continue, swaying back and forth.
Bronya seemed to be regaining her balance. In the past two weeks, her boss seemed to have gained several pounds. It's better to be a little chubby than to faint like the bishop.
The commotion outside naturally caught Miss Kuroki's attention, making her feel itchy inside.
Although the bad guy repeatedly told her not to make any noise, she thought it would be okay to take a quick peek, right? She gently lifted the curtain, but after just one glance, she felt like her CPU had overheated.
What's going on? Bronya is straddling that bad guy and rocking back and forth?!
Could it be... that we have to do it at the entrance?
The moment the thought crossed her mind, Miss Kuroki was so frightened that she quickly withdrew it.
I started to regret why I looked at it; I shouldn't have had that damn curiosity. The same thing happened with the wardrobe.
Why did I have to open it? The bad guys were already targeting me... how could they possibly have the energy to continue targeting Bronya? Isn't this the bad guys' limit?
Thinking about this, Miss Kuroki felt that her future was bleak.
But only a true warrior faces his bleak life. With her cheeks flushed, she peeked out from behind the curtains, mimicking Bronya's experience in fighting the bad guys.
At the very least, she should be able to be like her sister Bronya and bravely pin the bad guys down.
Five minutes ago—
Inside the bishop's room, Theresa slowly regained consciousness. "Ugh... my head feels dizzy."
Chapter 664 I'll make room for you
The bishop felt as if something was resting on her little head.
"Hmm... this is a cool, refreshing towel?" Theresa subconsciously took the towel off her forehead. She seemed to have fallen asleep in a daze. Where was she again?
next second.
Theresa gradually regained her memories from before she fell unconscious, her cheeks burning hot. "Xia...Yuan, you come out here!!!"
Recalling how his little bottom had been pressed against something so impure while he slept, the bishop's deafening voice echoed throughout the entire spaceship. He then quickly lowered his head to check if he had been harmed.
"Phew... thankfully I'm alright."
His Excellency's expression was complicated. On one hand, the towel on his forehead was definitely used by Xia Yuan to help him cool down.
It's barely fair that the other party has a conscience. On the other hand, she was already unconscious, yet the other party didn't seem to have any feelings at all. Compared to her students, is she really that unattractive?
Theresa put her close-fitting lantern pants back on, patted her little bottom, and looked around, but Xia Yuan was nowhere to be seen.
Upon closer inspection, the hatch was found to be open at some point.
"How is that possible...?"
The bishop looked incredulous. She had already transferred access to the room to [Ai-chan No. 3]. Theoretically speaking, her room was a secret room, and even now she didn't have the authority to open it from the inside.
No, she had to find Xia Yuan as soon as possible.
She absolutely could not let that guy continue to wander around this spaceship. Seele was also on this spaceship, and she would never allow him to harm Seele. This was a promise she, as the headmistress, made to her students.
She rolled over and reached her little hand toward the headboard.
But instead of standing upright at the head of the bed as expected, the bishop fell headfirst off the bitter gourd-shaped bed due to inertia.
“Xia... Yuan!!!”
The redness on her forehead couldn't hide the bishop's flushed face. That bastard had actually moved Judas, which she had placed by the bedside, to another location. "Ai-chan No. 3, find Xia Yuan's location for me."
Theresa gritted her teeth and gave the order.
[Boss~ Order received. The other party is currently in Bronya's room. If you're satisfied, could you perhaps upgrade Ai-chan's...? Boss? Ai-chan hasn't finished speaking yet, Boss!]
Upon learning the enemy's location, the bishop immediately carried Judas and charged out aggressively.
When she arrived in the corridor and saw what was happening at the door of Bronya's room, her face flushed as she accused the two of their extremely inappropriate posture: "What are you doing to my lovely student?!"
Xia Yuan, who was pinned down by Bronya, glanced at Theresa, who was rushing over from outside the door.
"Your Excellency, is it possible that Bronya is doing something to me, rather than me doing something to Bronya? No matter how you look at it now, it seems like Bronya is the one who has me on top of her. Logically speaking, shouldn't I be the victim?"
"Anyway, you... get up from the floor right now! What kind of behavior is this?!"
Theresa blushed and kept waving her little hands, urging them on.
"Dear Bishop, you need to get Bronya off me first so I can get up. Otherwise, I can't move at all right now." He spread his hands, revealing his complete innocence. The Bishop really is all about family and no reason.
"Cough cough... Bronya, hurry up and get up from him."
The bishop had a completely different attitude towards his students, as gentle as a kind elder, but Bronya remained unmoved. "Theresa, I feel quite comfortable sitting on my stupid subordinate, so I won't look for a chair."
This isn't about whether it's a chair or not; it's that this posture can easily lead to unnecessary misunderstandings!
"What, Theresa, you want to sit too? Then come sit with me, I'll make room for you." Seeing that the other party was still standing at the door, Bronya teased her while gesturing to her silly subordinate's chest to extend an invitation to the bishop.
"No...no need, I'll just stand."
Theresa covered her flushed and burning cheeks. It wasn't a question of whether she should sit or not, but why did none of her students listen to her, the headmistress? She felt like a mere decoration, a mascot.
To ease the awkwardness, His Holiness the bishop tried to change the subject.
"Bronya, why don't you turn on the lights in the room? It's pitch black, you can't see anything like this in the room."
"Isn't it because Theresa didn't maintain it properly that caused the short circuit?" Bronya repeated what her stupid subordinate had said to the bishop.
"How could that be? I had it thoroughly checked when I came here."
Taking over the conversation, Theresa stepped into the room. She was going to help Bronya troubleshoot the cause of the malfunction and restore the room's lighting system, but Xia Yuan had no intention of letting the bishop check it himself.
He broke it himself, doesn't he know that? Besides, Miss Hei hope was hiding behind the curtains.
So, acting as Bronya's cushion, he started stirring things up, "Ahem... Your Excellency, since you're here, why don't we discuss when to transfer the Principles Studio from Bronya and Welt to me?"
"transfer?!"
“Theresa, aren’t you going to explain what you promised your stupid subordinate? There’s no such agreement in the treaty we signed.”
Faced with Bronya's suspicion, the bishop quickly stopped and waved his little hand to clarify, "Bronya, don't misunderstand, there is absolutely no such clause in our agreement."
"Yes, Your Excellency, it's not in the agreement you and Duck signed behind my back, but it might be in face-to-face. Duck, do you know that Your Excellency was planning to give me the Principle Studio, but your subordinates were completely unmoved and resisted the temptation."
While fanning the flames, he never forgot to stand firm on his own position; he was always on the same side as Bronya.
"You just lie there quietly and don't say anything!"
Theresa glared indignantly at the scoundrel who was stirring up trouble. He was clearly trying to sow discord between her and Bronya, and she didn't want to become enemies with her student.
Chapter 665 got a thumbs up!
"Theresa, putting aside what that idiot subordinate was referring to about the transfer of the Principle Studio, didn't you claim to have put that idiot subordinate in a very safe place? Didn't that 'very safe place' mean throwing him into my room and locking him up?"
Bronya emphasized the words "very safe".
It was so safe, so safe, that we were almost kidnapped by someone else halfway through.
“Bronya, don’t misunderstand. That guy sneaked into your room on his own. When we boarded the spaceship, I carried him to my room. Logically, there’s no way he could have escaped. I’d like to ask him how he managed to get out.”
Theresa quickly raised her little hand to defend herself.
Then, she glared at the villain who was pinned to the ground, seemingly wanting Xia Yuan to confess the whole story.
"I stood in front of the door, and it opened by itself."
He told the truth, after all, even the bishop himself couldn't open it, so what right did he have?
"You're trying to fool a child! Only Xiaoshi would believe that, right? The hatch opens by itself, but does it close by itself?" Theresa pointed to the open hatch behind her.
If what this villain says is true, shouldn't the hatch have closed automatically by now? Why is it still open?
[The hatch is closing—]
"Huh?"
She was just saying it casually; she's not really going to shut it down, is she?!
Theresa rushed to the hatch to see what was going on, but she was too late. As the hatch closed, the entire room was plunged into darkness, with only the bishop's sky-blue eyes shining brightly, revealing an expression of disbelief.
Could the ship be haunted?!
"See, Your Excellency, the situation then is not much different from now."
Despite the pitch-black environment, Xia Yuan appeared quite relaxed. After all, as long as it was dark enough, Bronya and the bishop wouldn't be able to spot Miss Hei hope hiding behind the curtains.
When it comes to protecting teammates, he's a pro.
"You, is this the time to stand by and make sarcastic remarks?"
“Theresa, is there any way to open the door? For example, try accessing the control panel,” Bronya suggested, straddling her bumbling subordinate.
"No, no... It's impossible. The room's electrical system is down, and the sensors are completely malfunctioning. Bronya, it seems we're trapped inside and can't get out."
The bishop crouched down, cradling the little head in his hands, and muttered to himself.
"Theresa, your Judas isn't just for show, is he? Why don't you just use him to break down the door?"
Bronya offered valuable advice once again, but unfortunately, the bishop still refused to adopt it.
"No, absolutely not! Forcibly damaging it will trigger the ship's emergency system. How can we destroy a ship just for one business trip? What will Amber and Durandal think of me then...?"
Most importantly, that good-for-nothing Siegfried would definitely not miss this opportunity to mock her.
But soon, the bishop, who had been crouching with his head in his hands in defense, rallied again.
"Ahem... Bronya, don't worry, the system will unlock automatically once the spaceship arrives at Schicksal headquarters, and then we can leave." Even if we can't leave, Valkyries will come up for routine maintenance after the spaceship arrives at Schicksal headquarters.
