Durandal lowered her head. Even as the strongest Valkyrie of Destiny, she dared not breathe heavily at this moment. She, as the daughter, could not shirk her responsibility for her father's affairs.

“Bishop, don’t worry. How about I clear out a piece of land in the city and help you replant bitter gourd?”

Hearing this, Theresa's anger subsided slightly.

If that bastard had even half of Durandal's sense of responsibility, she wouldn't be so angry. Her father owed debts and then made his daughter pay them off—how awful! But the farm's plans still had to go on.

Otherwise, she would soon be unable to drink highly concentrated bitter melon juice.

Just then, she remembered another guy who was even more infuriating than Siegfried. Recently, the students at St. Freya Academy had been looking at her strangely in private, as the rumors had spread.

Such as the bishop's illegitimate child, his rumored boyfriend, the next successor to the bishop's throne, etc.

It gave her a huge headache.

Chapter 725 Rita Wants to Take Maternity Leave

Since Siegfried can't be caught, I might as well punish Xia Yuan for helping me set up a farm.

Along the way, she also asked Durandal, Rita, Bronya, Mei, and Seele to assist the other party. Of course, Theresa didn't expect the other party to obediently farm for her.

But as long as the other person stays on the farm, and you give him a production target that he can never achieve on his own, his diligent and reliable students will definitely help him complete the target.

Hmph, so he's popular... She'd like to see just how popular that guy really is.

"Ahem, I already have someone in mind regarding the establishment of the farm."

Theresa suddenly narrowed her eyes, scrutinizing the other person intently. "By the way, Durandal, you seem to have gained quite a bit of weight recently?"

"Yes, is there?"

Durandal's face flushed, and she quickly covered her lower abdomen with her arm. "It's probably because I haven't been exercising enough these past few days. Bishop, I'll go back and revise the exercise plan to try and burn off all the fat on my body."

Run ten laps around the headquarters of Destiny to warm up.

She was already instinctively preparing to slip out of the office, "Wait..."

Durandal tensed up. Had what happened between her and Mr. Xia Yuan been leaked? She was extremely nervous, but tried her best to remain calm. "Bishop, is there anything else?"

"Please call Mei over for me, I need to talk to her."

Hearing that the bishop wasn't asking about her relationship with Mr. Xia Yuan, Durandal breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to carry out the bishop's orders. As for her training plans, she'd postpone them for now...

With Durandal's departure, the office returned to silence.

The bitter melon juice in the glass was long gone. Theresa rested her chin on her hand and continued working on the mountain of documents piled up on the table.

"Huh? Rita's taking a ten-month leave?"

She really wanted to contact Rita to find out what she had been doing for so long, but considering that Rita hadn't seemed to have rested at all since the Great Collapse ended, and that the Herrscher of Domination had a large number of Soul Steel individuals handling various miscellaneous matters, it was time for Rita to get some rest.

Therefore, she specially added two more months to the ten-month leave, approving a full year-long vacation for the other party.

After all, although Rita was very responsible, the burning gaze that the other woman gave her while she was by her side made her unsure of how to face Rita. "Lady Theresa is getting cuter and cuter." It would be good for her to rest more.

His Excellency the Bishop carefully corrected the documents

"Well, it's only half done. Being a bishop is really not easy. When will her lovely students help her out so she can step down, go home and farm, and relax?"

Theresa stretched her shoulders and muttered to herself.

After a while, the sound of Bronya and Mei arguing could be heard outside.

"Mei, Theresa only called you, why do you have to drag me into it? I'm just an ordinary game producer now, I've long since passed away, and I'm going back to developing games."

"Bronya, don't you want to meet our headmistress?"

"I don't want to~~~"

Every time I see Theresa, it's either because her driver's license has been revoked or because she's being asked to come and help. It's never anything good. It's much more interesting to spend time with my stupid subordinate. These past few days, Mei has been dragging me around to various training camps, and I haven't had a chance to get away at all.

If no one manages the incompetent subordinates, you'll definitely have several more sisters.

"Bro Nia, I heard everything~ What kind of bad guy do you think your lovely headmistress is? I look forward to you and miss you every day, and I really want you to stay by my side."

Bronya gave a knowing look as she looked at the massive number of file folders on her desk.

"Theresa, you just want me to help you with your workload, right?" Despite having his true intentions exposed, the bishop was not angry. Instead, he looked at his two excellent students with a gratified expression.

"Ahem... This is just a small amount of work; I, the dean, can easily handle it myself."

But why?

She felt that her two students, like Durandal, had also gained quite a bit of weight. That was actually good news; being plump and healthy was much better—perhaps this was a uniquely older generation's understanding...

"Since you can handle this so easily, it seems like you don't need me here anymore. Mei, I'll head back first?" Bronya was about to run away when Mei grabbed her sleeve first.

"Let's stay here with Mei-nee and listen to what the bishop has to say before we leave."

Bronya stared at Theresa with a resentful look in her eyes, as if she wanted the other woman to get to the point.

"Ahem... I've asked Mei and the others to come here because I have an important task for you." With a wave of her hand, she projected a 3D map of the city onto the screen and pointed to an undeveloped area.

“I plan to develop this area into a special farm, specifically for growing certain special plants.”

"Theresa, you don't mean you want me and Mei to help you grow bitter melons, do you?"

The bishop clapped his hands, a sweet smile on his face. "As expected of my student, he saw through my good intentions immediately... cough cough, he saw through my good intentions immediately. But besides bitter melon, there are other special crops. Then, restaurants, hotels, and various industries will be built around the farm to form an industrial chain based on crops... driving the economic development of the surrounding area."

"No interest. I'd rather spend this time playing video games with my stupid subordinates."

Bronya yawned, clearly not wanting to listen to her former headmaster's grand plans. She was an adult now; while empty promises might work on her dim-witted subordinates, for her, staying home and playing video games was far more practical than farming.

At worst, she could make a farming game for Theresa to play.

"I'm sorry, Dean, I've already promised Mr. Xia Yuan that I'd like to train my swordsmanship at the kendo dojo, so I'm afraid I won't have time to develop the farm."

Mei directly expressed her apology.

Bronya glanced at the other person in surprise. She hadn't expected that her sister Mei would also righteously refuse Theresa's request. It seemed that they shared the same opinion on the matter of stupid subordinates.

Now, the bishop had completely lost face.

Her students really don't appreciate her good intentions as the dean at all.

Chapter 726 Ten in one pregnancy is too many!

"Hmph, you're not going, huh!"

She'll go and call Xia Yuan over to be the main person in charge of developing this farm. Let's see if you'll still come then. You can train in the fields, why do you have to do it in some kendo dojo?

As for games... you can play farming and simulation games on a farm too, right?

In short~

The bishop was already hatching her own scheme.

Look how fat my students have become after graduation! They need to get some real work experience. Being chubby and pale is nothing compared to having a healthy, tanned complexion.

As for how to lure Xia Yuan over, His Holiness the Bishop already had a suitable candidate in mind.

"It's okay, Mei and Bronya, do whatever you want. This is a good opportunity to give Mei a really long vacation."

"Have a holiday?"

Not only was Mei somewhat surprised, but Bronya also showed a very surprised expression.

Logically speaking, after they refused, Theresa should either have burst into tears, saying that they ganged up on her, an old woman, or she should have thrown a tantrum and complained that they were not doing anything productive after graduation.

However, Theresa is behaving so strangely now, even going against her usual practice by granting Mei a vacation.

Suspicious, very suspicious...

She suspected that the other party had no good intentions and was definitely trying to persuade them to go to the fields to work and plant bitter melons.

"Theresa, do you already have a suitable candidate in mind?"

Bronya tried to subtly inquire, but the other party mysteriously kept her in suspense, saying, "Hmph, want to know? But this headmaster is not going to tell you. This is the punishment for bullying the headmaster."

With her hands on her hips, the bishop was determined to get the farm development project done.

Bronya, however, gave a knowing look. She'd been hurriedly dragged to Schicksal headquarters by Mei, thinking Theresa had something important to discuss with them. Turns out, it was just that Mei had given her a long vacation...

However, thanks to the other party, she at least didn't have to run laps around the park today.

"Anyway, Mei, just enjoy your vacation!"

After kicking the two students who showed no consideration for their elders out of the office, Theresa accidentally contacted the most reliable and capable Seele.

Bronya and Mei are definitely out of the question, as they've already sided with Xia Yuan. Rita has taken a long leave of absence, while Durandal continues to track Siegfried's whereabouts.

At this moment, the one who is on the same side as her and tied to her is none other than Seele Voller.

[The Bishop Who Doesn't Want Dark Circles]: Seele, are you there?

at the same time--

Miss Hei Xi was sleeping soundly with Xi Er in her arms, wanting to make up for the anger that the bad guy had filled her with. Hearing the vibration of the communication device by the bedside, she groggily got out of bed.

"Hmm? Theresa wants to see Seele?"

However, seeing how soundly the other person was sleeping, she really couldn't bear to disturb Seele's sweet dreams.

[It's Seele, not Hill!]: Headmaster, what's the matter?

[The Bishop Who Doesn't Want Dark Circles]: Ahem... Seele, could you please do me a favor and bring that guy Xia Yuan over here? This is the commission for this operation. Please make sure to bring him to my office.

What is Theresa doing looking for those bad guys? She's probably gotten herself into some trouble again. What a troublemaker!

She didn't want to worry about the other person's affairs at all, but this job was a good opportunity to get revenge on the bad guy. It had been a long time since she had stayed in Seele's body after Seele used the power of the Herrscher of Life and Death to separate her.

Perfect!

Theresa is looking for Seele, so let's use Seele's body this time. Maybe we can secretly help Seele complete the mission and even get her praise.

[It's Seele, not Hill!]: Seele, received~

In an instant—

Miss Blackie transformed into countless red butterflies and entered Seele's body.

Seele opened her eyes, but her originally bright blue eyes had turned deep red. Dressed in a dress, she exuded a mischievous charm. Before leaving, she didn't forget to admire herself in the mirror, preparing to bring the bad guy to justice.

At this moment, Xia Yuan was unaware that he had been targeted by both Miss Hei hope and Theresa.

He was sleeping with the heroes in the Fairy Inn, his right arm was being used as a pillow by Alicia, his left arm was being held by Dr. Mebius, and little Gretchen was also restless in the bed.

Countless wine bottles were scattered throughout the room.

Eden, Velvet, and Aponia were sprawled on the round table, clearly having drunk late into the night to celebrate Alicia's return.

The fried rice was delivered by Qianjie.

Kevin sponsored several cases of cup noodles, and Kosmo sent several belts that could make sounds.

As for the two members of the Beast Ear Alliance, Sakura was taking a nap leaning against the edge of the bed, while Padofelis seemed to have rolled around in her sleep, and her little bottom accidentally landed on Xia Yuan's head, with her tail swaying back and forth on his cheek.

The tickling sensation on his face from the tail woke Xia Yuan up earlier than the others.

"Ugh...yawn~"

Xia Yuan was about to stretch when he found himself unable to move at all, as Mebius and Alicia were holding him tightly.

"Little white mouse, you can't escape my grasp. Be good and let me take a bite." Even in his sleep, Mebius couldn't help but suck on his finger.

"Xia Yuan, ten babies in one pregnancy is too many! Why don't we do it one at a time?"

He managed to pull out his fingers, which had been licked white by Mebius, and looked at the figures lying around the room. He couldn't help but cover his forehead. Last night was just a simple party to celebrate Alicia's return, so why did it turn into such a mess?

They went way too far with their party; it looks like we'll have to ban Ellie from throwing any more parties.

He still had the reward from the games that Ellie had organized on his neck, which had been kissed by almost everyone present. However, this misfortune turned into a blessing, as he accumulated a lot more fairy magic energy.

He left a note for Sakura.

Let Alicia take Sakura to start the typewriter and go back to the moment before her sister became the Herrscher of Corruption, so that she can bring her back from the previous civilization.

Now that Ellie has regained her powers, she can use the typewriter when he's not around.

After leaving a note, Xia Yuan quietly left the Fairy Inn without disturbing anyone. "Phew~ the air outside is so fresh, I feel much more refreshed."

Please take two days off.

Going back to my hometown to visit relatives —
