Hearing her excuse was actually believed, Kiana grinned ear to ear, but quickly realized something was off and questioned Teresa.
But the only response was the sound of the call being hung up.]
Kiana, 〈Huh? Teresa, what do you mean by that!〉
[Magical Girl] Teresa, 〈What else could I mean, do I really have to spell it out for you?〉
Himeko, 〈Headmaster, for you to decisively choose Kiana's excuse, in terms of IQ, you're pretty much on the same level as her.〉
[Magical Girl] Teresa, 〈Major Himeko, your salary for this month is gone!〉
Himeko, 〈.....〉
-----------------------------------
[After the interlude, Kiana and the others caught up once again. Faced with their relentless pestering, Wendy's expression gradually grew impatient.
"So persistent! Then let me teach you all a good lesson!"
Kiana and Mei's attempts at persuasion failed, and just as tensions were about to boil over, Bronya stepped forward, blocking Kiana, and said, "Wait, Kiana. Bronya wants to say a few words to Wendy."
"Don't come any closer! I don't want to, I don't want to talk to you, Bronya, stop coming closer!"
Seeing Bronya walking toward her, Wendy panicked, afraid she might lose control and hurt Bronya.
Bronya stopped, looking at Wendy who was keeping her distance, and said, "Wendy, you always remind Bronya of... back in the orphanage, there was a little sister named Seele."
"Seele was just like you, strong and gentle. Though she was once controlled by the Honkai too, in the end, she managed to overcome it..."
Under Bronya's heartfelt persuasion, Wendy's attitude gradually softened. Breaking free from the Honkai's control, she returned to her normal state and collapsed onto the ground.
"...I... I believe in you, Bronya... If you believe in me, then I'm willing... to believe in myself too!"
Seeing Wendy return to normal, Kiana and Mei both breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to take her back to St. Freya.
Seele (White), 〈Bronya-nee is so gentle (#／.＼#)〉
Wendy, 〈I... can I call you Bronya-nee too?〉
Bronya, 〈Of course you can, Wendy.〉
Bronya paused, looking at the Wendy in the video, then turned and walked toward Theresa's office—there would be plenty of time to lecture Kiana later.
Fu Shi wiped away imaginary tears and said, "So touching, I don't even know what to say."
Bronya, 〈Then please, host, don't say anything. Don't try to grab the spotlight.〉
Fu Shi blinked blankly, then turned her head to Fu Hua and said, "Fu Lin, it seems like you're being disliked."
Fu Lin, "...."
[Just as Kiana and Mei thought everything was over, Bronya suddenly went berserk. The biochip in her brain was forcibly controlled by Cocolia, and she launched an attack on Wendy.
Kiana looked at Bronya in disbelief, furiously questioning, "Stop! Bronya! What are you doing?!"
Wendy dodged Bronya's attack, her eyes stunned, wearing the same expression of disbelief, "Bronya-nee! Why are you attacking me?!"
"Were all the things you just said... lies?! I... I can't... trust anyone anymore!"
Wendy then fell into a frenzy once more. The sky instantly darkened, and the wind howled like a raging demon, sweeping up several tornadoes across the plain.
Next, she summoned countless wind blades and fired them at the trio. The three of them fought hard against the raging storm, engaging Wendy in fierce battle.]
[Magical Girl] Theresa, 〈It's that crazy woman Cocolia again, what on earth is she trying to do?!〉
[Sit-up's King] Welt, 〈While I was away, Cocolia didn't cause any trouble, did she, Einstein?〉
Einstein, 〈No, after the last time the Lord Commander warned her, Cocolia has been fairly quiet.〉
Kiana, 〈Bronya, is the biochip in your brain really okay? I really don't want you to suddenly stab me in my sleep when you're being controlled.〉
Mei, 〈Kiana, stop it. Bronya surely didn't want this either. It's Cocolia who's despicable.〉
At this moment, Bronya's expression darkened. She had almost persuaded Wendy in the video, but never expected "Mama Cocolia" to forcibly take control and attack Wendy.
Moreover, she had originally believed the biochip in her brain was meant for assistance and transmitting information, but she never imagined it also had a forced control function.
For the first time, Bronya felt a sense of unfamiliarity toward her Mama Cocolia.
Wendy, 〈Bronya-nee....〉
Seeing Wendy's bullet comment, Bronya's expression softened a little.
Bronya, 〈Sorry, Wendy, Bronya has let you down.〉
Wendy, 〈It's not Bronya-nee's fault. It's all because of that bad woman named Cocolia. If it weren't for her, Bronya-nee wouldn't be like this.〉
Seele (White), 〈Mama Cocolia... why would she do this? She used to be so gentle.〉
Dark Seele glanced at the pure and kind Seele and let out a sneer, saying, "Seele, you know their face, but not their heart. Maybe all that gentleness before was just an act to deceive you."
[Miss Lily] Otto, 〈A battle between three B-rank Valkyries and the Herrscher of Wind, huh? Interesting. K423, let me see how much you can handle!〉
'Blazing Flame', 〈....Seeking death?〉
'Pufferfish', 〈....Looking for trouble?〉
Kiana, 〈Why do you both sound even angrier than me?〉
The video continued....
[Faced with Kiana, Mei, and Bronya, the Herrscher of Wind Wendy, for some reason, didn't manage to land a single effective attack, and the fight merely reached a stalemate.
As time passed, both sides were already gasping for breath.
Wendy quickly widened the distance and said with a grim face, "So troublesome."
Kiana, gripping her dual pistols, wiped the sweat from her forehead and replied, "Hmph, being troublesome is my greatest strength. I can fight all day long if I have to."]
[Shenzhou Tablet] Fu Hua, 〈This Herrscher seems... a bit weak?〉
Yae Sakura, 〈Why does this Herrscher feel even weaker than Higokumaru...?〉
Higokumaru, 〈Big sis, I'm actually really strong, okay!〉
Durandal, 〈Didn't they say she had the potential of an S-rank Valkyrie? How come after becoming a Herrscher she seems even weaker?〉
Wendy, 〈.....〉
Kiana, 〈It must be because I'm too strong! As long as Mei is with me, I'm basically as strong as a hundred people!〉
Mei, 〈That's way too exaggerated.〉
'Blazing Flame', 〈....〉
Rita, 〈Do you all still remember the original question?〉
Everyone, 〈.....〉
Einstein, 〈Judging from the correct answer, it should be this Miss Wendy.〉
Himeko, 〈It's really quite...〉
Himeko, 〈Embarrassing.〉
Wendy, 〈It must be the Honkai controlling my body that prevented me from showing my true potential.〉
Wendy decided to blame the Honkai. Otherwise, in the video, as an A-rank Valkyrie turned Herrscher, getting held back by three B-rank Valkyries was just too humiliating.
Watching everyone's discussion, Fu Lin's lips couldn't help but curl into a smile,
"You're all being too harsh. Do you even realize who Wendy was facing?"
"One Herrscher of the Void, one Herrscher of Thunder, and one future Herrscher of Reason. Wendy as a Little Herrscher of the Wind faced all three alone, how is that embarrassing!" After all, the real embarrassment was still to come ???!(??????)??
Everyone (?〇ДO)!, 〈...That actually makes a lot of sense?〉
Wendy (?д?;), 〈Please... stop talking....〉
