The Story Will Be a Little Long (Continued)

Everyone is discussing Honkai and researching the true historical data released by Schicksal.

Of course, there are also some with a unique style, such as the new scam of "I am Otto, send money", and the emergence of a large number of new cults with the theme of Honkai in some cult countries.

However, the overall situation remains relatively stable.

After all, the highest levels of both Schicksal and Anti-Entropy are reliable, and their organizational strength is very complete. No one can cause any major trouble under the suppression of these two forces.

The heavy responsibility of supervising the overall environment naturally falls on the shoulders of each branch and base.

"Ah... my eyes... my eyes are going to blur..."

"Bronya knows an eyeglasses company. They make exquisite glasses, prescribe scientifically, and have great aesthetic sense. Do you need their contact information, Teacher Himeko?"

"So why do you seem to be perfectly fine?"

"Because the Red Queen is very strong."

Bronya stretched out her Siberia plains on the screen.

Himeko tugged at her hair and sighed; even this simple breath caused Bronya to experience a surge of emotions she could only dream of.

Bronya: (??? )...

"When is Theresa coming back? Or could I borrow your Red Queen for a bit? If this keeps going on, I'll get presbyopia prematurely."

"The Red Queen cannot be borrowed; she is not a standalone program, but requires a complete supporting system. Teacher Himeko, Fighting!"

"Alright. I have no objection to your exchange list between the Far East Branch and the East Sea Base... How about we hurry up? This Chen Tianwu is a talent in administration, right? Transfer him over to help as soon as possible, I don't want to work overtime."

"Actually, we're mainly waiting for the Far East Branch's opinion. If there are no problems here, Bronya can be activated at any time."

Neither Bronya nor Himeko could have imagined that they would witness the reconciliation between Schicksal and Anti-Entropy in their lifetimes, and that the first step would be achieved by them.

The Far East Branch will send a group of interns and senior Valkyrie instructors to the East Sea Base, while the East Sea Base will send back a group of elite engineers, managers and mech units.

This is an important attempt by Schicksal and Anti-Entropy to carry out in-depth cooperation, and it will be a landmark event in future history books as the merger of the two organizations.

Of course, the two of them didn't know that far ahead. All they knew was that this task, which required careful handling, had finally come to an end, and they could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Himeko put down the documents in her hand, looked up, and saw the girl who looked no different from before, but whose eyes and demeanor were much calmer and more composed. She smiled slightly:

"It's been a few months since we took over the East Sea Base. How's it going? Is everything progressing smoothly?"

"Everything went smoothly, not as difficult as I imagined. Mother Cocolia said that Bronya is already a mature base manager."

Actually, there was another sentence that followed—"It would be even more suitable if she were a little taller." At the same time, Cocolia stared at Bronya's chest with a hint of regret.

Bronya was extremely furious at the time.

Himeko nodded with satisfaction. She admired Cocolia's skills; to be recognized by that guy meant that Bronya was indeed doing well.

"Sigh. Now all those guys have gone to Schicksal Headquarters, and it's just the two of us busy with these trivial matters... Have we already rolled back the version?"

Himeko sighed.

Once upon a time, she was the ace of the Far East Branch. It was she who brought back Raiden Mei, who had just awakened, with her greatsword.

Then, the intensity of the Honkai event escalated rapidly.

Himeko could no longer understand those powerful figures.

"Teacher Himeko, your body has only just recovered, so please don't push yourself too hard. Mom says everyone has their own talents, just like she isn't good at fighting, but she can manage the entire Anti-Entropy. We're the same; we should just do what we can do."

"That makes sense. But watching my students rush off to the difficult battlefield while I can only wait in the office... I feel so useless."

Himeko clenched her fist, still feeling the power enough to pierce steel.

But this force is no longer sufficient to meet the needs of the front lines.

Unlike Bronya, Himeko was once a member of the Valkyrie Assault Team, a combatant directly fighting against the Honkai. The contrast between her warrior role and her completely administrative one is truly difficult to accept.

"But this kind of suffering is also a kind of happiness, isn't it? At least it proves that I am still alive, and it also proves that there is a stronger force protecting the world."

"Himeko..."

"I just grumble occasionally. I'm not a masochist, and I don't like the feeling of my body being torn apart after every battle."

"Bronya has reservations about whether Himeko has any special hobbies, since I haven't seen them myself."

Um?

Himeko saw amusement in Bronya's expressionless face.

She couldn't help but feel annoyed.

"Are you asking for it?"

Bronya has other things to do, let's talk another time.

The other side cut off communication.

Himeko suddenly felt a lump in her throat, with nowhere to vent her anger.

A moment later, she couldn't help but shake her head and chuckle.

"This girl is more lively than before."

Although she still doesn't show many facial expressions, perhaps due to long-term habits, it's clear that Bronya's mindset is becoming more and more like that of a normal teenage girl—energetic, playful, and with a touch of mischievousness.

Is it because those old knots in my heart have gradually been untied?

Himeko smiled, glanced at the sunset outside the window, and got up to walk home—or rather, to Anqi's room.

"Teacher Himeko."

"Yo, good afternoon."

"Himeko, would you like to have a drink?"

"I've quit, go find other alcoholics."

Himeko smiled and greeted the students and acquaintances on the road, and gradually walked into the villa area where there were few pedestrians.

As the sun gradually sets, warm light shines from the house that should have been empty.

Himeko was taken aback.

My pace quickened unconsciously as I pushed open the door, and the aroma of food wafted out.

"Himeko, are you off work? Dinner won't be ready for a while, go wash your hands first."

"Yes, I'm back."

Himeko looked at the little cutie peeking out of the kitchen and smiled brightly.

On the other side, at the East Sea Base.

Back in her room, Bronya also smelled the unexpected aroma of food.

Chen Tianwu and Anna, who were close friends, were also in the living room. Chen Tianwu was repeatedly reading Chen Tianwen's letter, his smile almost sly. Anna, on the other hand, was snacking on potato chips, glancing towards the kitchen every now and then before quickly munching on the chips to suppress her cravings.

But none of that matters. The only thing that catches Bronya's eye is the blue-haired girl in white who is busy in the kitchen.

Bronya couldn't help but rub her eyes.

"Hope... Er..."

"Sister Bronya, welcome home. From today onwards, Seele will be an intern in the East Sea Base Medical Department ... Xing said this would be more of a surprise, so I didn't tell you beforehand. Sister Bronya still happy to welcome me?"

Seele trotted up to Bronya, fiddling with the ends of her hair, and lowered her head shyly.

Bronya stood there for a while, then reached out and pulled the girl in front of her into a tight hug.

"Welcome, Seele."

Bronya gave a gentle smile.
