Siegfried, 〈There must be some shady conspiracy. How could Otto not be the main character?〉
'Pufferfish', 〈So in the end, Welt's the protagonist, hahahahaha, so interesting, too funny.〉
Tesla, 〈Joachim has such a great smile — so what if he's the protagonist? He's way better than those two who nearly gave up on themselves.〉
Tesla slowly began to accept Welt's crossdressing, and seeing how the others dismissed him, her face flushed bright red as she argued back.
In the Sea of Quanta, Kevin restrained the cold air around him, the corners of his mouth unconsciously curving upward as he looked at Welt with newfound respect.
Welt's hand, stuffed into his pocket, slowly clenched into a fist, his usually expressionless face nearly cracking.
---------------------------------
["King's Awakening"
(Awakening of the Kings)
Welt, Kevin, and Otto stand atop a high peak, dressed in the glamorous outfits from the promotional video, with a giant full moon behind them.
A voice unknowingly echoes in their minds, ladies, press it down~!
As the camera slowly zooms in, the three muscle brothers under the moon... cough, cough, the three make a grand entrance. Welt stands in the center position, Otto and Kevin to his left and right.
Welt stands with his legs crossed and hands on his hips, his posture unusually enchanting.
"Rejoice, all living beings!"
Otto places one arm across his chest, the other raised to his forehead with two fingers extended.
"Flee, Honkai!"
Kevin crosses his arms in front of his chest, eyes full of determination.
"We shall surely,"
The three shout in unison,
"Reign supreme over the world!"
Then the scene shifts to the stage the three have arrived at, still with Welt in the center, all holding microphones, reaching out to the fans below.
The shadow of the poster released during the quiz slowly aligns, and finally the scene freezes on the three and the promotional slogan on the poster.
"'My Debut Idol Story Is Obviously Problematic,' broadcasting begins in 2122!"
Kiana, 〈Absolutely amazing!〉
Mei, 〈It's so dazzling. If there were really a concert, it would definitely be lively.〉
[Magical Girl] Theresa, 〈Damn it, even though it was Grandpa who found a way to make money, the one standing in the center isn't Grandpa!〉
Rita, 〈Exactly, I can't believe Mr. Welt stole the spotlight from the Overseer, it's too much. That shy face earlier was just a ploy to confuse the Overseer, wasn't it?〉
Durandal, 〈Never thought the Anti-Entropy leader was so scheming. I'll need to be more cautious when meeting him.〉
[Sit-up's King] Welt, 〈.....〉
Elysia, 〈Kevin isn't the center? I'm so disappointed~〉
Kevin, 〈....〉
[Miss Lily] Otto, 〈Hahahaha.....〉
"The video has finished playing, Duck, it's time for you to fulfill your punishment." Fu Lin swiped on the screen, but after scrolling for a while, still couldn't find an ideal fan-made video.
"Haven't you found it yet?"
Fu Shi suddenly leaned in close to Fu Lin, curiously looking at the screen in front of him. At that moment, their cheeks almost touched, and they could feel each other's warmth and soft touch.
Fu Lin looked at Fu Shi's blushing little face, smelling the faint milky scent from her, nodded and said, "Almost, almost."
Seele (White), 〈Mr. Host, what's Bronya-nee's punishment, singing or dancing?〉
Seeing Seele's comment scroll across the screen, Fu Lin hesitated slightly, and slowly moved his fingertip away from the Bronya dance video just before it could click, choosing another video nearby.
[In the cabin of a bridge ship, Bronya's figure appears in front of everyone, and through the glass behind her, blue skies and white clouds can be seen.]
Himeko, 〈Is this the helm of the Hyperion?〉
[Magical Girl] Theresa, 〈Could it be that Bronya is going to sing in the Hyperion's helm?〉
Kiana, 〈Bronya singing? I can't imagine it. My gut tells me it'll turn into a nursery rhyme.〉
Bronya, 〈.....〉
[Just as everyone was expecting Bronya to sing, they saw Bronya look to the side, and from a cluster of blue butterflies, Seele's figure suddenly popped out.
"Bronya-nee~"
Bronya placed a finger on Seele's forehead, then said, "Seele, you dummy. I even got my driver's license revoked just to pick you up."]
Kiana, 〈Huh?〉
Mei, 〈Huh?〉
Himeko, 〈Huh?〉
[Magical Girl] Theresa, 〈Huh?〉
[Shenzhou Tablet] Fu Hua, 〈Huh?〉
Seele (White), 〈Bronya-nee, did Seele do something wrong?〉
Elysia, 〈Saying something that hurts a girl's feelings like that, little Bronya, that's not cute at all.〉
Einstein, 〈Driver's license revoked... this refers to the time when the Herrscher of Reason core separated from Bronya after being defeated by Kevin, doesn't it?〉
Einstein, 〈Last time during the broadcast of the leader's repeated jumps, Bronya's figure flashed by, but the image of her riding a motorcycle using the Herrscher of Reason core still lingers vividly in my mind.〉
Bronya, 〈I see, but Bronya would never resent Seele over a mere gemstone.〉
Tesla, 〈A mere gemstone?! That's the Anti-Entropy leader's heir we're talking about! And did I miss something — the Herrscher of Reason core will end up in this little girl's body in the future?!〉
Einstein, 〈Calm down, Dr. Tesla. Once the livestream ends, I'll tell you the whole story.〉
Tesla, 〈Hmph!〉
[Seele hugged Bronya's arm, resting her cheek on Bronya's shoulder like a spoiled child. The two looked especially close.
Looking at Bronya, Seele said, "Bronya-nee, if you don't have a bike, stop trying to flirt with girls."
After saying that, Seele turned back into butterflies and disappeared again.]
Kiana, 〈Huh?〉
Mei, 〈Huh?〉
Himeko, 〈Huh?〉
[Magical Girl] Theresa, 〈Huh?〉
[Shenzhou Tablet] Fu Hua, 〈Huh?〉
Kiana, 〈In just a few seconds, I was shocked twice.〉
Bronya, 〈Seele wouldn't say something like that.〉
Seele (White), 〈Bronya-nee...〉
Fu Lin cleared his throat, "Ahem, this punishment requires two people to cooperate to complete, so I wonder, Seele, are you willing to help your Bronya-nee?"
Seele (White), 〈I...〉
In the Sea of Quanta, Seele clutched her skirt nervously, a flustered look on her face. She couldn't imagine herself saying those words from the video, let alone to Bronya-nee, feeling quite hesitant...
Bronya, 〈!!!〉
A glimmer of light flashed in Bronya's eyes. She didn't expect to meet Seele in this form, but it was all worth it!
Seele (White), 〈Bronya-nee, Mr. Host, I agree.〉
With Seele's agreement, Bronya blinked and was instantly transported to the Hyperion.
In Bronya's excited gaze, blue butterflies slowly floated into view, and with them came Seele, who was supposed to be in the Sea of Quanta.
"Bronya-nee san, is it really you?"
Seele opened her eyes, and upon seeing Bronya before her, tears welled up uncontrollably.
"It's me, Seele."
Bronya embraced Seele tightly, and the two held each other close. In that moment, time seemed to become eternal.
Kiana, 〈Bronya finally saw Seele.〉
Mei, 〈Yeah.〉
[Miss Lily] Otto, 〈But this is only temporary. Once the punishment is over, the two will still have to part, won't they?〉
[Magical Girl] Theresa, 〈Grandpa, are you allergic to romance or something?!〉
