Chapter 116
In the end, I was the one who won! I really lived up to my reputation, I'm awesome!
The longbow vanished as a speck of light, and so did the enormous wings. Unable to hold on any longer, Shen Gonglin and Kiana sat down on the ground, panting heavily. They exchanged a glance and finally breathed a sigh of relief. It was finally over, and they could go back to St. Freya for a feast... uh, no, for dinner.
Upon returning Shen Gonglin decided she would eat well and make sure to eat two bowls of rice.
"You... you think it's over? I'm not that easy to defeat!"
Unexpectedly, Wendy stood up unsteadily again. The wind barrier formed by her Herrscher ability allowed her to withstand Shen Gonglin's Ultimate Weapon. The power of the Herrscher was not to be underestimated. Now that Shen Gonglin had completely lost her ability to fight, no one could stop her.
"Tsk, still not down? I should have pushed harder... Mei, it's your turn now."
Although Wendy stood up, Shen Gonglin and Kiana weren't too worried. Judging from her swaying, they knew that just standing up had taken all her strength. Although they and Kiana weren't capable of fighting, they still had Mei, so roughly speaking, they had won. It's good to have more people.
"Miss Wendy, please don't resist. It was just a misunderstanding. Let's go back to St. Freya first. We will explain everything to you properly when we get there."
Mei stepped forward. Wendy was clearly too weak to fight anymore. If she could, Mei didn't want to fight her either. Everything could be resolved once they returned to St. Freya. Wendy's situation, and Bronya's situation... She would probably feel guilty when Wendy woke up. Mei would definitely have to comfort her then.
[It's a pity you won't be able to return to St. Freya. Thank you for letting me witness such a wonderful battle. Even with the Herrscher's power weakened to this extent, you were still able to complete the mission admirably.]
However, at that moment, the cold female voice from before came out again from the Heavy-duty Rabbit. Upon hearing this voice, Mei immediately became alert. What did this mean? Could it be that Anti-Entropy had another trick up its sleeve?
[Although we lost several mechs at Durandal's, these latest mechs still performed well against you. Thank you again for your performance, which showed me some things I have to pay attention to. Thank you for your efforts... All Tactical Mech, deactivate cloaking. Target: The Fourth Herrscher!]
With a cold female voice giving the order, the surrounding air seemed to ripple. The optical camouflage was deactivated, and several blue mechs had surrounded everyone without anyone noticing. Now, Shen Gonglin finally realized what she had sensed earlier. Damn it, her attention was completely focused on the previous battle, how could she have overlooked this? This is getting a bit... bad.
The mech began its operation. Wendy, who had already lost her ability to fight, was caught by the mech before she could even resist. It was an easy thing to do. The Herrscher, whose power had been weakened, reacted just like an ordinary little girl.
[Herrscher captured successfully... Oh, I almost forgot, there's another Herrscher here, Unit 4 and Unit 5. Bring back the Third Herrscher as well. Bronya, my daughter, it's time to come home.]
The proverb "when two birds fight, a fisherman benefits" applies here. After everyone lost their fighting ability, it was time for Bronya to reap the rewards. Bronya, who had been knocked down earlier, slowly stood up, while the surrounding Tactical Mech launched an attack on Mei. Mei, who had no ability to resist, was exhausted after fighting for so long and collapsed to the ground with a muffled Mei. Kiana was excited and wanted to go over, but the aftereffects of being sucked blood made the girl weak and unable to get up. Damn it, how could this happen?
"In the end, I still have to take action... Kiana, you stay here and don't move. I'll be right back."
Shen Gonglin gritted her teeth and stood up. It was one thing for you to grab Wendy, but you even tried to take my rice cooker away. This was just too much! Shen Gonglin would do everything in her power to get her back!
"No, no, Shen Gonglin, you're... going up there to deliver him..."
Before Kiana could finish speaking, it was the same old formula, the same old taste. In her weakened state, Shen Gonglin was completely unable to fight. Like Mei, Shen Gonglin also fell to the ground under the heavy blow of the mecha. Watching the mecha carry Shen Gonglin and Mei away, Kiana was almost about to burst. Rice cooker... ugh, Mei, Bronya, and Shen Gonglin... how come she's the only one left?
Chapter 460 All wiped out
[I almost forgot about this newly promoted S-rank. This time has been quite fruitful, with two Herrscher and Schicksal's hottest new S-rank. He's male yet became Schicksal's S-rank, and his combat power just now... he's definitely a target worth studying. Well then, I won't hold back.]
Capturing Shen Gonglin was a truly unexpected surprise. Even the cold female voice was surprised, as the timing was perfect. Both the Herrscher and his combat power were almost exhausted, and such a great victory was achieved with just a few mechs. Although a few mechs were lost on Durandal's side, it was insignificant and could be considered a great victory.
"Give me back the rice cooker... ugh, give me back Shen Gonglin and Mei!"
Kiana, swayed by Shen Gonglin's words, stood up angrily. However, still suffering from the aftereffects of vampire attacks, she was unable to fight. She tried her best to draw her dual pistols, but even this simple action exhausted all her strength. It was too difficult. Seeing Shen Gonglin and Mei about to be taken away, and herself in this state, how could she accept this?
[There's one more. Although it's not very useful, capturing it could be a bargaining chip with Schicksal. Bronya, my daughter... Tsk, never mind, Schicksal's forces are almost here. Let's retreat for now; we've already achieved enough.]
They had intended to take Kiana with them, but the mechs' radar had already detected the approaching Schicksal airship. They knew better than to bite off more than they could chew; who knew what might happen if they delayed any longer? There were only a few mechs left, and they couldn't afford to clash with Schicksal's support forces. It was time to retreat.
Bright flames erupted from the jets on the back of the mecha. Bronya sat atop the mecha, while Wendy and Mei held in the mecha's arms, one in each hand. Shen Gonglin was controlled by Heavy-duty Rabbit and sat with Bronya. Looking at the unconscious Shen Gonglin, Bronya's pale face remained indifferent. Under the influence of the virus, this emotionless girl completely forgot what she was supposed to remember. Right now, all she wanted to do was carry out her mother's orders.
"Damn it... Stop it now!"
Never before had Kiana felt so powerless. She could only watch helplessly as the mecha elements blurred in her vision. Under the effect of optical camouflage, the mecha force disappeared from Kiana's sight. When they arrived, the Fifth Squad was at full strength, but now she was all alone... Kiana clenched her fists, but her physical condition wouldn't allow her to do anything else. The girl gritted her teeth and glared in the direction the mecha had gone. When she saw the Hyperion land and Himeko rush out from it, the girl finally fainted.
Just wait, Shen Gonglin, Mei, and Bronya, I will save you like a hero descending from the heavens. Until I arrive, you must be patient.
These were the girl's last thoughts before she fell into a coma. Being captured by Schicksal's nemesis, whether it was Shen Gonglin or Bronya, they would surely suffer terrible torture.
At the Schicksal Headquarters, a man with light blond hair sat in a chair looking at a mission report. The Bishop of Schicksal, who always seemed to have everything under control, appeared somewhat anxious this time. This situation was indeed not what he had expected. Such an unexpected turn of events had occurred. Cocolia's efficiency this time had truly exceeded his expectations.
But that's all. As long as there's a good and feasible plan, everything can still get back on track. With this in mind, Otto picked up the wine glass on the table and gently swirled it. His previously fluctuating emotions gradually calmed down. However, there were still some issues with this mission that he hadn't figured out.
"Your Excellency, this is the specific situation of this mission. The Oceania Branch is currently being rebuilt, but due to the Honkai, the branch's original Valkyrie combat power has been completely depleted. Headquarters needs to replenish Valkyrie to successfully restore its combat strength..."
The Valkyrie on the screen was still reporting the situation, but Otto wasn't concerned about that. It was just a branch; it could be destroyed and rebuilt. At that moment, he remembered his sharpest sword. That's right, Otto finally realized something was wrong. He had sent Durandal to join the battle, and Otto had placed the utmost trust in her. Given her personality, how could she not have played a role on the battlefield? It was as if there was no information about her at all in the incident. This was abnormal.
Otto had always treated Durandal differently. Although she was his subordinate, their relationship was more like a partnership. Otto didn't think she would obey his orders, but when it came to the fight against the Honkai, she always carried them out without question. This time, her behavior was different, which made Otto think deeply about what was going on.
"Let's leave the Oceania Branch and this mission aside for now. The subsequent rescue mission can be handled by the Far East Branch. Now I want to ask you, what is Durandal's situation? What was she doing while Anti-Entropy was doing so much? Was she intercepted by Anti-Entropy's forces?"
Otto interrupted the Valkyrie's report, which was the only reason he could think of. He had to admit that Anti-Entropy's operation this time was indeed meticulous, even taking Durandal's situation into account. They must have sent troops to intercept her, otherwise, if she had been involved, things would definitely not have turned out this way.
"... Yes, Anti-Entropy did indeed send mech units to intercept Durandal, but... well, that's definitely true..."
The Valkyrie on the screen suddenly became hesitant and stammering. She was also surprised when she heard the news, but it was the truth. It was unbelievable that Durandal, the goal that all Valkyrie admired, would be in such a situation. Tsk, really... how to put it.
"What happened? Give me a clear report."
Seeing the Valkyrie's hesitation, Otto keenly sensed something was wrong. It seemed the situation wasn't so simple, and there were some things he didn't know about.
"Anti-Entropy dispatched mech units to intercept Durandal, but... in reality, they couldn't even intercept her for ten seconds. The reason Durandal didn't join the battle... is because she went to buy a jianbing (Chinese crepe)!"
The Valkyrie gritted her teeth and explained the situation, and Otto, after hearing it, was unusually stunned, not even noticing that the red wine had spilled out. Buying jianbing guozi?
What is this now?
Chapter 461 Acquaintances of Anti-Entropy
San Diego, ME Company, is a research institute under Anti-Entropy. As an opposing organization to Schicksal, ME Company is extremely well-defended. Blue Titan Mech patrol various locations. Unlike Schicksal, Anti-Entropy specializes in using mechs to end battles. Although Schicksal also researches mechs, Anti-Entropy's mechs are more practical in terms of capability. After all, Anti-Entropy has two genius scientists specializing in mechanical engineering. As everyone knows, in the post-apocalyptic world, such Second-hand Scientist are quite powerful.
One of them was the Red-haired Twin Tails sitting in front of the makeup mirror, applying eyeliner to herself. Judging from her appearance alone, it was impossible to associate this girl with a genius scientist. She looked to be in her early twenties at most, with a cute and pretty face and a slender figure... She was exactly a pure, cute and pretty girl.
"That Vixen Cocolia should be back soon, really. She shouldn't have bothered trying to capture a Herrscher. Technology is the primary productive force. She should have used that time to bring my wildest ideas to fruition. They're all really interesting inventions. I'll laugh at her when she comes back empty-handed. She brought the latest Tactical Mech but ended up defeated... Oh, no, they're not the latest anymore. The latest ones were just made by me."
Tesla, not finding dressing up alone boring, finished her makeup and admired the beautiful girl in the mirror, muttering to herself. As one of the executors of Anti-Entropy, she was either inventing or on her way to inventing every day, so it was normal for her room to be messy. However, the girl was incredibly focused on grooming herself. In her opinion, this was an essential skill for women, and she had great taste. Although no one in Anti-Entropy was worth dressing up like this for, dressing up like this... might be useful, right?
After all, the mech unit might just kidnap a guy when they go out. Besides, even if they don't show Tesla to others, they can show it to themselves. They can't look like that Chicken Coop Head.
After finishing her eyeliner, Tesla prepared a gift for herself to sculpt her lips. She used this kind of thing to pass the time every day. Unlike the ever-energetic twin sisters, she didn't have many days each month when Tesla didn't want to work and just wanted to eat and wait to die. Maybe she should go for a drink later; she seemed to be craving some alcohol.
While Tesla was pondering these thoughts, his hands moved flawlessly. Hearing the commotion from the next room, Tesla knew that the twin sisters were playing again. Sigh, they were just children after all, completely different from a mature adult like himself.
Tesla shook her head. A sense of superiority welled up within her in front of Rosaliya and Liliya. A mature adult like herself wouldn't act like children. She was so gentle, virtuous, and elegant...
Just as Tesla was idly using nice words to embellish herself, a strong vibration suddenly came, and the vibration caused Tesla's hand to tremble, and the crooked lip line was drawn on her face. The originally cute and pretty girl suddenly turned into a slit-mouthed woman. Who the hell is this? What does this mean? Does he want to be beaten?
The gentle, virtuous, and elegant young woman instantly lost her composure. With a dark expression, she slammed her hand on the table, splitting her makeup brush in two. Tesla picked up a red robotic arm and slipped it onto her left hand. Iron Man: Anti-Entropy Branch kicked open the door and rushed out. She wanted to see who dared to mess with her. If they wanted to die, they should just say so.
"Liliya, you stay in your room for a few days. Let Rosaliya go and see what happened. After all Rosaliya is the older sister and a mature adult. She's even done things like kissing, so let me do it... Hey! Tesla, your makeup is so unique and special!"
As Tesla rushed out, Rosaliya also ran out of their room, her pink and white tail swaying back and forth. Tesla didn't hear what she was saying to Liliya, and in a flash, the pink-haired girl was in front of him. What kind of unique makeup is this? What is this silly little girl talking about?
"When am I not special? You were startled by that noise, weren't you? Let's go take a look together. I reckon that Vixen Cocolia is back. Honestly, I told you not to let the mecha land here. My room's soundproofing is terrible. I have to give her a good scolding this time!"
After saying that Tesla ran out on his own, and Rosaliya followed. She wanted to see what was going on. She had just been telling her silly younger sister about her exciting adult experiences. After all, she was no longer like that silly deer sister. Rosaliya was a great woman who had given away her first kiss. But just as she was talking, there was a loud noise that startled her so much that she fell off the bed. To show her adult demeanor, Rosaliya told her sister to stay in the room while she went to investigate by herself. Her sister must be very proud to have her as an older sister.
However, Liliya had already grown tired of hearing Rosaliya boast more than once. Seeing Rosaliya leave, she finally breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed onto the bed, falling into a deep sleep. That idiot Rosaliya, doesn't she know Liliya is already annoyed? She's always boasting, when she was clearly just completely fooled by a stranger. What's there to brag about?
I really don't understand Rosaliya's thought process at all; it's definitely different from Liliya's.
"Cocolia! It really is you! I told you not to park the mecha here, why did you still do this... Wait a minute, what's going on? Did you really succeed?"
As soon as he stepped outside, Tesla saw the Titan Mech parked in the yard. With his hands on his hips, Tesla began to complain about Cocolia. In Anti-Entropy, Tesla had never gotten along with this Vixen, and now she was provoking him again. Did she really think he was easy to bully? But before Tesla could finish speaking, he saw the person the mech was holding. This thing had actually brought the person back. Tesla thought she was just joking again.
"Of course, and not only the Fourth Herrscher, but also the Third Herrscher was brought back by me, as well as Schicksal's newly promoted S-rank. Schicksal should feel the pinch now."
Chapter 462
The blonde-haired figure wasn't seen, but her voice came through the Titan Mech's broadcast system. Tesla didn't seem to care, after all, it was Cocolia. That woman was strange, and Tesla had never gotten along with her. She was probably in some laboratory right now. After all, they had captured the Herrscher, and that girl was definitely going to put a lot of effort into Herrscher. Although Tesla didn't agree with her methods, as an Executor himself, he didn't have the right to stop her.
"I didn't expect you to actually succeed. It seems that Schicksal has become more and more useless without me. Not only did you steal the Fourth Herrscher, but you also lost the Third Herrscher... Wait a minute, you just said there was that newly promoted S-rank? What's going on?"
She was initially quite nonchalant, after all, unlike others, Tesla's true passion was inventing rather than researching the energy of Herrscher. After all, who could resist mecha? It was her romance as a woman. But when she came to her senses, Tesla noticed another important point in Cocolia's words: she had captured Schicksal's newly promoted S-class. A familiar face appeared in Tesla's mind. If we're talking about a newly promoted S-class, isn't it him?
As Schicksal's archenemies, gathering intelligence on Schicksal was something they were supposed to do. Schicksal didn't try to suppress the news; instead, it seemed to be spreading it around. So Tesla realized that the guy who had made contact with her like a fool was Schicksal's fourth S-rank, and a boy at that. Tesla had a deep impression of him. Now Cocolia said she had captured him too. Was that true?
"It was that hot S-rank. It was actually quite a close call. As expected of an S-rank, this guy is much more difficult to deal with than Theresa. Even the Herrscher didn't fare well against him. If the battle with the Herrscher hadn't weakened both of our powers, I really wouldn't have been able to succeed so easily. I also grabbed him during the retreat. Although we haven't reached the point of a full-scale war with Schicksal yet, capturing him will still make Schicksal feel the pinch."
As Cocolia spoke, she ordered the Titan Mech behind her to extend its mechanical claws. Shen Gonglin was lying unconscious on one of them. Seeing the golden Tesla, she knew it was indeed him. The genius inventor quickly ran over, and Rosaliya, who hadn't said a word until now, thought for a moment and followed. It was this guy who stole her cherry and then had his first kiss stolen. Now that there was a witness, Liliya would definitely not doubt what she said.
"Hey, hey... wake up, Cocolia! What did you do to him? Why does he look so pale? What did you do to him?!"
Tesla jogged over to Shen Gonglin's side and gently patted Shen Gonglin face with his hand, which wasn't covered by the mechanical arm. The touch was soft, but Shen Gonglin's face was so pale, and there seemed to be a hint of pain flashing between her brows from time to time. It was obvious that she had suffered a lot. Tesla immediately asked Cocolia, perhaps without realizing it herself, but Tesla's tone was accusatory. Needless to say, it must have been this woman who did it; she went too far.
"I didn't do anything. When we retreated, my daughter Bronya was in charge of taking him with her. He woke up and tried to struggle, so I ordered Bronya to knock him out. But for some reason, Bronya didn't obey my order. When he struggled, he found himself in mid-air, and he passed out before Bronya could do anything. Until now... This one of Schicksal's top combatants, does he still have a fear of heights? Schicksal is really getting worse and worse."
Cocolia's voice was also full of doubt. The mecha unit retreated by air. Shen Gonglin woke up once in the middle but then fainted again. Moreover, she seemed to be even more completely unconscious than when she was knocked out by the Titan Mech. She was quiet and didn't make a fuss the whole way. Cocolia could only think of this possibility. The blonde woman in some laboratory sneered and said, "Schicksal is doomed."
"I see... Cocolia, I'll take care of this one, okay?"
Tesla poked Shen Gonglin's face with his finger. The feel was still so nice. Shen Gonglin, who had calmed down, gave off a different feeling. So Tesla subconsciously wanted to take him back, just like picking up a kitten on the roadside. Tesla easily formed feelings for small animals. Besides, the two of them had met before. It was much better to hand him over to Tesla than to have him imprisoned by Cocolia somewhere.
"Sure, I just brought him back on the side anyway. My goal is two Herrscher, so I'll leave this guy to you. Just make sure he doesn't escape. I'll have the mecha take him there now."
She didn't care about Shen Gonglin at all. She only brought him back because he rushed in and got killed in the process. Cocolia really cared about was Wendy and Raiden Mei. Schicksal would definitely not let this go. She had to carry out the stripping of the Herrscher Core as soon as possible. She was just an S-rank, not at Durandal's level, so there was nothing to worry about. Tesla was interested, she could play with her as long as she didn't interfere with her.
"No need, I'll take it back myself. Cocolia, you go ahead with your work."
Unlike Cocolia, Tesla didn't care much about the Herrscher. After all, she was a normal woman, and normal women should be interested in men, right? So, in conclusion, Tesla always felt that she was much more normal than Cocolia. After saying that, Tesla took Shen Gonglin from the Titan Mech and carried her back. Studying Shen Gonglin was definitely more interesting than studying the Herrscher.
"Something feels off... Never mind, Rosaliya, aren't you going to say hello to your mother? What are you doing following Tesla?"
Observing this side through the mecha's camera, when Cocolia saw the pink-horned girl following Tesla and preparing to leave, she called out to Rosaliya. What's wrong with her? She's acting strangely.
"Mom, Rosaliya didn't go with Tesla. Hehe, Rosaliya went with Shen Gonglin. That guy has finally fallen into my hands. Now Liliya definitely won't disbelieve me!"
The loli girl with horns on her head crossed her arms triumphantly. She knew her daughter's mind wasn't normal, but what was wrong with her this time? She couldn't figure out Rosaliya's thought process. Usually Cocolia didn't want to figure out Rosaliya's mind, since it risked making her even more mentally challenged. But this time, Cocolia wonder what was going on. Rosaliya actually knew Shen Gonglin. What was their connection?
"Rosaliya, do you and that Shen Gonglin know each other?"
Rosaliya's social circle should be very small, probably just her sister and the people from the orphanage, but she actually knows Shen Gonglin. How is that possible? Cocolia felt she had to figure it out, since Rosaliya wasn't very bright and needed more attention.
"Of course we know each other, and Rosaliya even stole his first kiss, which is pretty amazing. Rosaliya thinks Mom should give me a good compliment."
Rosaliya became quite proud when this was mentioned. She wiped her mouth as if savoring the memory. The loli girl stood arrogantly with her hands on her hips, and even the white tail behind her couldn't help but sway. Cocolia should be happy for herself about something so worthy of showing off.
"...Huh? What's going on? Rosaliya, you better explain yourself!"
What is all this about? Why can't Cocolia understand Rosaliya's meaning at all? How did she steal Shen Gonglin's first kiss? What did Rosaliya use to do it? Why didn't she know anything about this? How did she get involved with Shen Gonglin? Could her silly daughter have been deceived?
"That's a long story."
Rosaliya, showing off her newly learned idioms, was still as arrogant as ever, while Cocolia, far away in the laboratory, desperately suppressed the urge to punch her with her Titan Mech. What a complete idiot.
"Then get to the point!"
"Okay."
"Have some hot tea... Kiana, don't worry about it, this isn't your problem."
Meanwhile, on the Hyperion, Himeko brought Kiana a cup of hot water as she rested. This could be considered a major failure for them; not only did the mission fail, but they were also captured, leaving Kiana all alone, which was truly a headache.
"If I were a little stronger... Himeko, when are we going to rescue Shen Gonglin and the others? Why haven't the orders come down yet?"
Unlike her usual energetic self, Kiana looked dejected, like a defeated rooster Shen Gonglin, Mei, and Mei had all been captured by Anti-Entropy Bronya, and now she was all alone. Even if she was the only one, she had to rescue them. Who knew what inhuman treatment they would suffer after being captured? They would definitely be tortured... Hopefully, they wouldn't be tortured but directly interrogated. That Shen Gonglin would definitely confess right away. She absolutely couldn't hold back; if she did, it wouldn't matter.
"Theresa is negotiating. As far as I know, Durandal has also requested permission from headquarters to carry out the mission. We don't know whether the mission will fall to the Far East Branch or the Immortal Blade. But don't worry, no matter what, those who were kidnapped this time are our St. Freya people. Get ready to carry out the mission. This time there's no Mei, no Bronya, and no Shen Gonglin. Kiana, you have to do your best."
Patting Kiana on the shoulder, Himeko finally felt relieved to see her eyes brighten again. Kiana looked best in this energetic way. After comforting Kiana, Himeko stood up and looked out the window, her slender fingers subtly clenching into a fist. "Anti-Entropy," she thought, "How audacious! Daring to kidnap my people, they really don't want to live." It had been a long time since she'd personally carried out a mission; it seemed she needed to stretch her muscles this time.
How could someone she had her eye on be taken away by Anti-Entropy and then ignored? Himeko was ready to fight. This was the kind of scene where a hero saves a damsel in distress. She hadn't had many opportunities to show herself to Shen Gonglin before, but this time, although it was an accident, it was also a good opportunity. This was the kind of situation where feelings were most likely to blossom.
"You've taken it from me! Do you really think Murata Himeko is easy to bully? Shen Gonglin, just bear with it a little longer, I'll be there to save you soon."
"Let's head straight there. Mei's been captured anyway, and she won't be able to eat if we go back. Maybe if we chase after them now, we can rescue them in no time!"
Kiana's eyes lit up as she said this. She stood up, intending to set off immediately, but she almost fell over as soon as she stood up. Himeko quickly reached out to support Kiana. "You're still thinking about carrying out a rescue mission like this? Kiana is such an idiot."
"How can you possibly carry out a mission in your current state? Besides, we don't even know where the Anti-Entropy people have retreated to. We must go back to St. Freya to devise a countermeasure. You need to rest properly. Right now, you probably can't even stand up, let alone fight."
Himeko helped Kiana sit down again by supporting her arm. Himeko glanced at Kiana, whose face had turned red again from the earlier movement. Kiana was so weak that she probably couldn't even maintain the most basic movements, let alone fight. Kiana was like this because she was bitten by Shen Gonglin. Was being bitten by him really that powerful?
Watching Kiana sit obediently on the sofa with her legs together and slightly bent over, Himeko secretly licked her lips. This girl really did have something going on. That Shen Gonglin guy, he's a bit wicked. Kiana was bitten by him and ended up like this. Thinking back to the Honkai incident at St. Freya, even Durandal was knocked down with a single bite from Shen Gonglin. Just think about Durandal's condition then—she was bitten so badly she had to be hospitalized. Combined with Kiana's current state, Himeko couldn't help but feel a surge of curiosity. She had imagined what that would feel like, but imagination is just imagination. If she actually tried it...
"Hey Kiana, does it feel good to be bitten by Shen Gonglin...?"
Unable to contain her curiosity, Himeko sat down next to Kiana and moved closer to her. She was really curious; there was someone right next to her who had already experienced it, so she might as well ask her. After all, she had nothing else to do.
"It feels good, of course it feels good."
"So... what exactly is this comfortable feeling like? Tell me about it. I'm bored anyway, so I'll just tell you, whatever."
