Chapter 208

Not to mention the post-apocalyptic punk-style kitchen that MEI built.

Theresa's absence isn't because it's a scam or anything like that.

I just don't have the time.

I recently encountered a slightly tricky situation... really just a slightly tricky one.

So I haven't had time to do it.

This is something she truly cannot solve on her own now.

They also felt that the ship's doctors couldn't solve the problem.

So I had no choice but to come to MEI.

"Something's happened!" Theresa said, sounding very anxious. "Something really serious has happened to me lately!"

"What's wrong?" Mamiya asked. "Has someone infiltrated and is trying to cause you trouble?"

"No! No!" Theresa shook her head and said, "It's something else."

"Don't laugh! I really had no other choice but to come to you."

"What's wrong?!" Mamiya, a little curious.

Theresa seemed helpless.

"This! This!" Theresa said, removing her nun's veil. "I don't know how I suddenly got this ear!"

'Forehead...'

Mamiya's lips twitched.

Theresa's donkey ears...

It's already appeared?!

Sakura Dance!

Chapter 238 has this problem

Something's wrong with you!

Even though Mamiya had already realized that something was wrong with the game "Kallen Fantasy".

Now I've discovered that this game is even more strange than I imagined!

Otto's creation already imbued the game with a sense of conspiracy, and after that strange dream, it felt even more like this game was definitely not just for fun.

I just felt that something was bound to happen.

Looking at it now...

And it really happened.

But it was still unexpected!

"You play 'Kallen Fantasy' too?" Mamiya asked, arms crossed.

"Hmm... Eh? You know?!" Theresa nodded, then said with a slight surprise, "Although it doesn't feel quite right, I've tried it out to understand students and some current trends."

Theresa spoke with great conviction.

I definitely didn't play it because I wanted to play games; I played it because I really wanted to understand students.

"Oh, is that so?" Mamiya nodded, echoing Theresa's words, "It seems the Student Support Head is very responsible."

"Um..."

I don't believe you for a second! You're a really bad Student Support Head!

Mamiya didn't want to believe it. If she wanted to play, she should just say so. Why use such a lame excuse?

"It's just a game..." Mamiya didn't want to expose anything, thinking it best to leave room for future encounters. Whatever you say, goes~ Besides, the most important thing isn't whether we play or not.

It's a problem with the game itself.

"I've played this game too," Mamiya said. "So I know some things."

"If my estimate is correct."

"You saw Kallen?"

Is it a game plot or a real-life plot?

This history is not a secret; it's part of the official, public history. It's also one of the historical events that people gossip about. Therefore, Theresa couldn't possibly be unaware of what this history is all about.

"That's right," Theresa said. "It must be part of the game's plot."

"But it's not the same either..."

The girl is narrating...

Chirp chirp, hoo-hoo, barabala, aba aba~

After Theresa's explanation, Mamiya finally understood what happened in Theresa's story.

It is a storyline based on the game's plot, but it is not entirely the game's plot.

Just as Li Pu would try to interfere with the plot, Theresa wouldn't foolishly follow the plot, nor would she stand idly by. She not only got involved in the plot but also tried to change the final outcome.

Although somewhat naive, Theresa tries to find a way to save everyone in this dream.

Save Kallen, save Yae Sakura, save the villagers, save Otto.

The idea was great, but the reality was harsh.

The conflict between Otto and Yae Sakura makes peaceful coexistence almost impossible, and there is absolutely no possibility of compromise between Yae Sakura and the villagers.

Theresa tried her best to reconcile these contradictions.

Let Yae Sakura let go of her hatred, choose to protect the villagers, and resist the temptation of the Demon in the Box.

Fail!

Let Otto understand Yae Sakura, choose to help Yae Sakura, and not become her enemy.

Fail!

The villagers were made to recognize their mistakes, repent to Yae Sakura, and prevent the Sacrifice Ritual from happening again.

Fail!

In short, all attempts ended in failure.

Aside from being stuck in the middle and unable to do anything, almost nothing has changed.

Certainly.

Not everything has changed. The ending is still a bad end.

Of course, it can't be said that nothing has changed; some things have changed to some extent. For example, Theresa tried to communicate with the Demon in the Box, and she seemed to discover that this Demon in the Box might have some special secrets.

He's not quite the villain I knew.

But what exactly is different, and what is the secret?

Theresa was caught off guard by her impending doom.

Then I woke up.

When Theresa woke up, she didn't think anything of it and didn't pay much attention to it. Until these past two days, a pair of ears suddenly appeared on her head.

This...

What on earth is going on?!

This was so sudden that Theresa was completely flustered. Although her nun's veil temporarily concealed it, Theresa had recently noticed some pink hairs starting to appear on her head.

This...

This made them even more panicked.

Panicked, Theresa didn't know what to do.

In her desperation, Theresa suddenly remembered something. Although she didn't know what to do, there seemed to be a very reliable person on the Hyperion.

Theresa didn't know if the doctor could solve this problem.

We should try anything, even if it seems hopeless.

Theresa still took the photo.

"So what do we do about this?" Theresa was extremely anxious and frustrated.

"Don't panic," Mamiya said, trying to comfort him. "There's no use panicking about this."

"And I think I'm starting to get somewhere."

"What?" Theresa asked anxiously.

"The Stigmata Space!" Mamiya said as if he could tell immediately, "If I'm not mistaken, it should be this."

"Huh? What's that?" Theresa said in surprise.

"The Stigmata Space? You don't know about it?" Mamiya, somewhat surprised.

How could Theresa not know? Otherwise, wouldn't she have been the dean for nothing?

"Of course I know," Theresa said. "But the Stigmata Space isn't like that. It was triggered without any warning at all."

"This doesn't make sense!"

'When has a Honkai world ever been scientific?' Mamiya thought to himself.

'Don't talk to me about science; science doesn't Honkai at all!'

"This..." Mamiya pondered deeply, trying to make his words seem credible, "It must be the game. That game activated your Stigmata Space."

"It's not fully activated yet; it should be in the process of activating."

'On the contrary...' Mamiya thought to himself, looking at Theresa's donkey-like... fox-eared mind, 'It seems more like an infection than Stigmata Space.'

Just like when it infected Yae Sakura and made her grow donkey... fox ears.

Now, the infection has also given Theresa the same ears.

"How is this possible?" Theresa said. "This matter..."

"Why not?" Mamiya retorted. "This game was made by Otto."

Anything is possible.

"Huh?" Theresa was speechless, if it really was Otto who did it.

Then it really is true that anything is possible.

"Well..." Theresa said, "This..."

"This time, the Stigmata Space might be very dangerous," Mamiya said. "If you can't stay true to yourself, you'll be infected and lose your sense of self."

Theresa, do you have enough willpower?

Mamiya looked very serious and unsmiling, and didn't seem like she was joking with her about something like this.

Theresa was slightly startled by what she saw.

So serious...

"Because you are Kallen?" Theresa said seriously, "So, you know?"

Although it was just a game, and although it seemed like a dream, Theresa knew it was something Kallen had experienced, even though it differed from historical events.

But that's what Kallen went through.

In general, it's not wrong.

If that's the case.

"The Demon in the Box..." Theresa said, "Is not actually completely sealed away."

"Right?"
