I, Herrscher Slayer: Years Without Change?

Bronya's soft call drew the girls' attention. The Arin sisters, who had been struggling to break free from Shen Gonglin's restraints, looked up at Bronya in unison. In the sunlight, the girl's face was somewhat obscured, but her signature hairstyle still made the two girls' eyes widen.

"Rosaria, without a doubt, these iconic drill bits..."

The blue-haired sister also exclaimed in surprise. Actually, they had a chance to meet before when they were in ME Company, but at that time Bronya was controlled by the chip in her brain and turned evil, and the two of them went to carry out other missions, so they didn't meet. Now, the sisters who grew up together have finally met again.

"It's Bronya!"

The two sisters who had fallen to the ground screamed. Rosaria, who had come to her senses, turned around and looked at Shen Gonglin, who was hugging and nibbling at her tail. Sure enough, it was this guy. The pink-haired girl's cheeks turned red. She had thought she was going to be bitten by the Suicide Squad, but it turned out to be this guy. Didn't he know that the tail was a sensitive spot for a girl? This guy really had a special fondness for his own tail.

"Bronya, save me! Rosaria is acting really badly! Quick, pull her away..."

"That's right, Liliya can't take it anymore either, help, help Liliya."

The two sisters collapsed on the beach and reached out to Bronya for help. They could have used their tails to swing the heavy greatsword, but now that Shen Gonglin was holding them back, they were truly helpless.

"There's no other way. It seems that even if I want to say something, I have to separate Shen Gonglin from them first. Shen Gonglin, let go obediently. Biting a girl's tail is not something a normal person should do... Although normal girls probably don't even have tails."

Theresa and Bronya exchanged a glance. The helpless headmistress knelt down to comfort and console Shen Gonglin. However, Shen Gonglin's attention was completely elsewhere. Theresa 'Theresa posture... even if the nun's gown is long, she shouldn't just squat like that in front of someone. To be fair, Theresa's legs are really thin.

"Headmistress, let Bronya handle this. Bronya is very good at mediating disputes."

Noticing Shen Gonglin's gaze, Bronya's eyes flashed with a fierce light. She wasn't even going so far as to take advantage of the headmistress. This Shen Gonglin really had no inhibitions. Since the Class President and Mei weren't here, Bronya would have to take on the responsibility of supervising Shen Gonglin and ensuring Shen Gonglin healthy growth.

The phantom of the Heavy-duty Rabbit appeared behind Bronya. Bronya, who was particularly good at mediating disputes, opened her palms towards the group of people on the ground. This kind of mediation was something Bronya was very good at.

"Pah, pah, pah... Bronya, how come even you're starting to act recklessly? Think things through before you do things in the future. Don't ever say you're good at mediating disputes again."

On the beach, everyone was a mess, covered in sand and seawater, making them all look disheveled. Theresa was cleaning the sand off her nun's clothes while criticizing Bronya. She had thought Bronya was very sensible, but this drill-wielding little girl had given her a hard slap today. Was there really no normal student among the students she taught?

"Bronya believes that this kind of mediation is very effective, so if there is another opportunity like this in the future, Bronya will not give up. Shen Gonglin, do you understand?"

Because of the close-range firing, even the air cannon that only sent everyone flying resulted in Bronya, the one who fired it, also perishing. But even so, Bronya still didn't regret it. If it happened again next time, she would continue. The drill-wielding loli turned around and gave Shen Gonglin a meaningful look. These words were meant for Shen Gonglin, hoping he would understand.

"I understand, I understand. Bronya, sit still and it'll be over soon. Hmm... Bronya, you look quite nice with your hair down. You can try this hairstyle next time."

At this moment, Shen Gonglin was standing behind Bronya, fixing her hair. This silly little girl had gotten herself into such a mess from that blast. Shen Gonglin untied her gray, drill-like twin tails and carefully cleaned the sand out of her hair. Among the group, Shen Gonglin had the shortest hair, so he was the least affected. After he finished cleaning her hair, he started fixing Bronya's. He hadn't noticed before, but Bronya actually looked quite good with a different hairstyle. As expected of a pretty girl, she looked good no matter what.

"... Is that so? Then Bronya will try out other styles in the future."

The girl paused for a moment before reacting in this way. What's going on? Why does she suddenly seem less angry than before?

Chapter 110 Hasn't changed in years?

"Bronya, it really is Bronya!"

After everyone had cleaned the sand off themselves, the pink-haired girl Rosaria suddenly pounced on Bronya and hugged her. The constantly wagging tail behind her revealed the girl's excitement and joy. She hadn't seen Bronya for so long. Her mother had said that they might meet again, and they actually did! How wonderful!

"Yes, it's been a long time, Rosaria and Liliya, you've both grown up."

Bronya gently hugged Rosaria, who had rushed into her arms. Looking at the Arin sisters before her, a look of nostalgia appeared in her eyes. It had indeed been a long time since they had last seen each other. Since their separation at the Cocolia Orphanage, everything had changed. Seeing her former sisters was a truly joyful thing for Bronya. She remembered that the last time she saw them, Rosaria and Liliya were still very young, but now they were both taller than her. It seemed that they were doing quite well.

"Sister Bronya is still exactly the same as before, she hasn't changed at all."

Liliya, who was a step too slow to pounce, didn't dwell on it. She was quite happy to see Bronya being tightly embraced by Rosaria, and even her tone rose high. Sister Bronya hadn't changed at all; she was exactly the same as they remembered. She could recognize her at a glance, even in a crowd.

"Yes, yes, nothing has changed. Whether it's your height, your face, or that steel-plate-like chest, Bronya, you really haven't changed at all!"

Taking advantage of her height, Rosaria reached out and touched Bronya's head. She was pleasantly surprised to find that even without considering the pink horns, she was still taller than Bronya. Then she touched Bronya's face and patted her chest. The pink-clad girl was overjoyed at the reunion. It was Bronya; she really hadn't changed at all.

Nothing changed at all? They've been separated for several days now, which means Bronya hasn't changed at all in years? Hmm... This is a bit of a miscalculation. Shen Gonglin overheard Rosaria and the others' conversation and glanced at Bronya thoughtfully. If there's no change after several days, does that mean Bronya has no hope for the future?

No way! There's already Theresa, the legal loli. Shen Gonglin has high hopes for Bronya. There's no need to worry about Mei and Kiana; they're both girls who develop normally and are even considered excellent. Shen Gonglin has given up hope on the Class President, but Shen Gonglin hasn't given up on Bronya. He's been feeding her well, always giving her food he can't finish himself, hoping that one day Bronya can become like Cocolia... But it turns out that she hasn't changed at all in all these years.

Kid, you've really disappointed your brother, the Divine Palace Master.

"Rosaria, don't touch places you shouldn't. Why are you here? I almost... didn't recognize you."

Sensing Shen Gonglin's gaze, Bronya quickly slapped Rosaria's hand away and let go. Rosaria was still as reckless as ever. What did she mean by "not changed at all"? Bronya clearly felt she had grown a lot. She thought her lack of change was solely due to her rapid growth in height. As for other aspects... she was sure she had grown as well. She hoped Shen Gonglin wouldn't listen to Rosaria's nonsense; things had to be verified with her own eyes.

Feeling a little guilty, Bronya changed the subject. Looking at the pink and blue Arin sisters in front of her, Bronya's gaze slowly moved to their tails. She was absolutely certain that she had never seen these tails on either of them before, as well as the horns on their heads. Without a doubt, this gave Bronya the feeling of a Honkai Beast, and it wasn't just her imagination.

"Hehe, isn't it pretty? I love this tail. Bronya is especially allowed to touch it, but she can't bite it, especially not like Shen Gonglin did earlier. It's very itchy."

Noticing Bronya's gaze, Rosaria smugly extended her tail in front of her. The pink and white tail moved slowly in front of Bronya's eyes. Seeing Rosaria controlling the tail as if it were an extension of her own arm, Bronya was very surprised. So she could control her tail? Looking at Liliya next to her, she was doing the same thing. What was going on?

"It was a gift from Mom to me and Liliya. If Bronya wants one too, she'll have to go to Mom. Let me think... If Bronya has a tail, should we give her a tail that looks like a drill?"

Rosaria proudly showed off her tail in front of Bronya as if it were her favorite toy. This tail was now exclusively for her and Liliya, but if Bronya wanted one, she figured her mother would give her one too. The thought of Bronya reminded her of drills, so if Bronya had a tail, she'd make it look like a drill.

Bronya has a drill-like tail... This is a little hard to imagine. Why does it suddenly feel a bit like a bee? After a moment of association, Shen Gonglin's expression became subtle. Bronya, who had been paying close attention to Shen Gonglin's state, knew that this girl was probably thinking about something else again. Shen Gonglin just loves to overthink.

"Stop thinking about impossible things. Bronya is satisfied with herself as she is now and doesn't want to add any more accessories."

Turning around, Bronya gently tapped Shen Gonglin's head with her fists, then rubbed them against Shen Gonglin's temples. Bronya wasn't planning on adding any strange accessories to herself, and she didn't believe this was just a gift from Cocolia. It seemed that many things had happened to the two sisters without her knowledge.

"Satisfied? That won't do, Bronya. I heard from them that you haven't changed much in years. You can't just give up like this. It seems that just eating normally won't change your situation anymore. You really need external intervention. How about this, you come to my room every night from now on, and I'll help you step by step... Ouch, Headmistress, why are you hitting me?"

Before Shen Gonglin could say anything, Theresa rushed over and gave him a hard flick on the forehead. What on earth was this guy planning to say?

Chapter 111

You're not allowed to do anything weird to your lovely students!

Theresa quickly stopped Shen Gonglin. She had to stop him immediately because even Theresa herself couldn't guarantee that Bronya would listen to Shen Gonglin. Her students were completely obedient to Shen Gonglin. They would probably do whatever he said if he just acted Shen Gonglin. Even the most rational Bronya and Fu Hua Theresa n't be sure. What did this guy want to do by tricking Bronya into the room?

If you're so capable, try it on yourself first. You haven't changed much in all these years. If Shen Gonglin really has the ability, try it on yourself first. Otherwise, don't act so recklessly.

"Rosaria, stop fooling around and get down to business. Sister Bronya, you came with Dr. Einstein, right? Rosaria and I are here to welcome you."

Finally, Liliya spoke up to interrupt the farce. Rosaria excitedly hugged Bronya and didn't remember what her mother had told them. But Liliya hadn't forgotten her mission. She looked at the group of people in front of her. It seemed that many guests would be coming this time.

"Oh! I almost forgot, we couldn't get in touch with you before, so Mom sent us out to investigate the communication problem and also to welcome you. It turns out that the communication problem was caused by the Honkai Beast here. And we just happened to run into you here. Let's go see Mother Cocolia."

The pink-haired Rosaria was full of energy. It seemed that this girl did not understand what quiet was at all. After thinking about her mission, she excitedly pulled Bronya and was about to run back, but Bronya stopped and hesitated.

"Cocolia ...Mom... Rosaria, and Liliya, please wait here for a moment. We'll go and call Dr. Einstein over now, and then we'll go see Cocolia ...Mom together."

Rosaria and Liliya waited there while Bronya and the others returned to the Hyperion to find Einstein and go together. On the way back, Theresa asked the question she had been wanting to ask. She had wanted to ask Rosaria and Liliya when she saw them earlier, but they were there, so there were some things Theresa couldn't say. Now she finally had the chance.

"Bronya, are those two little ones also acquaintances of yours? And Shen Gonglin, the one that little girl mentioned earlier, the 'first kiss terminator'... what does that mean?"

Theresa asked with some confusion. Bronya and Shen Gonglin seemed to know them. Most importantly, Rosaria had mentioned ending Shen Gonglin's first kiss, which made Theresa curious. What exactly happened?

"I refuse to answer this question. Theresa, you saw it yourself. That girl is crazy and talking nonsense. So I don't want to say anything. Justice will prevail. My first kiss is still here."

Shen Gonglin shook his head, refusing to answer Theresa's question. He had already decided to bury this matter deep in the annals of history. He had threatened those who knew the situation back then not to reveal it. He never expected that Rosaria would keep bringing it up so proudly. Shen Gonglin had always been resentful that his first kiss had been taken by a little girl with a tail. If it had been her initiative, it wouldn't have mattered. Shen Gonglin might even have proudly boasted about it. But the key point was that he was just the one who received the kiss, so it was hard to say.

"Yeah, I know, it must be your first kiss today, right? Anyway, you refresh every day at 12 o'clock, do whatever you want... But be careful in the future, someone like you can easily be tricked by women when you go out. Bronya, what do you say?"

Theresa was already quite familiar with Shen Gonglin's methods, so she didn't have high hopes of getting any information from him. Although she cared about this matter, Theresa also had other questions she wanted to know. She should be able to see Cocolia soon, and the more she knew about her former enemy, the better.

"These two are Bronya's friends from the orphanage when she was little. They are twins, Rosaria and Liliya. Rosaria is the older sister and Liliya is the younger sister. They are both a little Bronya. Headmistress, don't worry, they are not bad people. Bronya can guarantee that."

Bronya knew what Theresa was worried about. Since leaving Schicksal, Theresa had been in charge of many things, so it was understandable that she wanted to know these things. However, regarding the two sisters, Bronya could assure her that they would never be like Mother Cocolia, because those two sisters... were just idiots.

"So she's your friend. That's great. It seems you two have a good relationship... But Bronya, that pink-haired girl, Rosaria, her horns and tail don't look like machinery or decorations at all. And the texture is undoubtedly that of Honkai Beast's limbs. What's going on?"

With Bronya's assurance, Theresa relaxed a little, but she was still concerned about the situation of the two sisters. Leaving aside the younger sister, the older sister had such obvious Honkai Beast characteristics. Was this a sign of human experimentation? Anti-Entropy... Cocolia also conducting human experiments?

"Bronya didn't know either; when Bronya left the orphanage, they were just ordinary, normal children..."

Bronya couldn't offer any explanation for this question either. She and Theresa suspected the same thing: could Rosaria and Liliya have become like this because of Cocolia? Bronya truly couldn't trust her mother now. Heaven knows what she was thinking. Bronya couldn't understand her thoughts and actions at all.

"Is there a problem? I think they're quite cute like that. By the way, Bronya, aren't you really going to have Cocolia give you a tail too? Rosaria's tail is quite fun; it feels pretty good whether you touch it or lick it."

Shen Gonglin casually chimed in, "To be honest, this girl with a tail does give Shen Gonglin a different feeling. He was still thinking about what Rosaria had said before. Even though Theresa and Bronya were looking at him with those weird eyes, Shen Gonglin still said it. It's really cool."

Chapter 112 Leg Ring

"I heard your audacious idea as soon as I arrived. What, Shen Gonglin, do you also want to grow a tail? Although there are some problems with the biological genes, if we work hard to overcome them, I think Dr. Tesla and I can still help you grow a tail."

Shen Gonglin was still trying to convince Bronya how great it would be to have a tail, while Einstein, having finally managed to control her hiccups through vinegar therapy, stepped off the Hyperion. Hearing this, Shen Gonglin turned around and, looking up at Shen Gonglin, noticed Einstein's attire. Come to think of it, she always dressed like this. In the sunlight, this fair-skinned, beautiful young doctor looked quite lovely, especially the leg rings on her legs...

"Let's leave the tail thing aside for now. Einstein, I've always wanted to ask you, what's the use of these leg rings? Are they just for decoration and atmosphere?"

Seeing a better prey, Shen Gonglin abandoned Bronya and ran to Einstein. She bent down and squatted beside Einstein's legs. Before the beautiful young doctor could react, Shen Gonglin hooked her finger on the leg ring and snapped it back. It was really elastic! Both her legs and the leg ring were so bouncy.

"Decoration and Atmosphere Team... I don't understand what you're talking about, Shen Gonglin. And please show some respect to women, Shen Gonglin. We're talking about serious matters here."

It's one thing to be judged on my appearance, but the worst part is that this guy not only judged me but also touched me. Is it okay for him to touch a woman's legs so casually? Although I had just shared a bed with him not long ago and he even fed me until I burped, I don't feel very confident saying this. But this guy has no sense of propriety between men and women. Shen Gonglin's attitude is very problematic. It's probably because of people like St. Freya who taught her this.

"It's not a decoration or atmosphere set... then it must be jewelry accessories. I feel like it can increase attack speed and critical hit rate... Aiyin, you still say you don't understand? If you don't understand, why are you blushing? You really do understand, hehe. But it is indeed very beautiful. I will wear it from now on. It's really beautiful."

After a moment's thought, Shen Gonglin made a new assessment of Einstein's leg ring. Upon hearing it, Einstein blushed. Increased attack speed and critical hit rate... How could she not know such a thing? Although she appeared to be a beautiful girl, she had actually lived through a long period of time. Even Bronya knew a lot now, so how could she not understand? How could this guy so casually tell her dirty jokes, and then praise her so earnestly afterward... Originally, Einstein wanted to take off the leg ring and throw it in this guy's face, but now that he said that... she was a little reluctant to take it off.

After we slept in the same bed, this guy seemed much closer to me, but he probably didn't even know we were in the same bed.

"Alright, alright, Shen Gonglin, stop bothering the Doctor. If you're really bored, go play with Bronya... Doctor, you saw them, right? Like I said in the previous communication, they're those sisters. Do you know them?"

Theresa quickly pulled Shen Gonglin away. If she didn't intervene, Shen Gonglin would probably touch her. Looking at Einstein's long, slender legs, Theresa's eyes flashed with envy. Because of her body type, Theresa's legs were proportionate, but compared to the figures of these young girls, they were far inferior. Damn it, it was all because of her height. If she were taller, she would definitely have legs that long too. But unfortunately, Theresa's physical development was already complete... Why is it that everything is set in stone? Einstein and Tesla were able to stay in their prime, while she was stuck as a little girl...

Even Shen Gonglin seems to be stuck at the age of sixteen. I'm so bad at this.

"Hmm, they seem to be soldiers from Cocolia's unit. Dr. Tesla should be more familiar with them. Their presence here proves that Cocolia is also here. At least she didn't lie to us about this. Let's go, Ms. Theresa, and get ready to enter Sea Abyss City."

Tesla glanced at the Arin sisters waving incessantly in the distance, then adjusted his leg ring and moved slightly away from Shen Gonglin. It wouldn't be good if Shen Gonglin continued to grope him after seeing Cocolia; that Vixen- like woman would definitely mock him. In the past, he had always been indifferent and ignored Cocolia's various remarks, but this time... Although he hadn't heard Cocolia's words yet, Einstein couldn't help but feel a little guilty. What was going on?

"Shen Gonglin ... Bronya wants to grab this thing of yours; it feels so cumbersome."

Theresa and Einstein walked ahead, while Bronya trailed behind, watching Mei Shen Gonglin with a wistful look. She hadn't expected this guy to still be able to pull off something so outrageous even without Mei. It seemed he could really let loose, no matter what. Bronya reached out and brushed a strand of hair from Shen Gonglin's forehead, Bronya grey eyes fixed on the red bird mark on his forehead. This guy was flirting with other girls again, and judging by Dr. Einstein's expression... Doctor, you need to step up!

"Don't talk nonsense. I can't scrub this off even if I scrub hard in the shower. Besides, you can't see it normally, so it's not an eyesore."

Feeling a chill run down her spine from Bronya's gaze, Shen Gonglin quickly removed her hand. Bronya's eyes looked as if she wanted to cut off the bird mark on her forehead. Just thinking about it Shen Gonglin feel a pain. How could this little girl have the potential to turn evil? She really didn't know what she had done to offend her. She was so scared.

"Headmaster, you must protect me if there is any danger."

Shen Gonglin ran up to Theresa and said meaningfully that since Mei wasn't around and Einstein didn't have any fighting ability, he could only seek Theresa's protection. Judging from Bronya's appearance, she might even launch a night raid on him. However, Theresa thought that Shen Gonglin was worried about the danger in Sea Abyss City. The little principal patted her chest and assured Shen Gonglin that no matter what the problem was, she would protect him!

Sigh, it seems that simply cutting off that piece of skin won't do any good. Bronya shook her head slightly upon seeing this. She knew that the current situation wasn't due to the bird mark on Shen Gonglin's forehead; it only served as a catalyst at most. What truly moved people was something else entirely.

Chapter 113 My Theresa is Super Amazing

"Let me introduce you. Rosaria, this is our headmistress, this is Shen Gonglin, and this is Dr. Einstein, you must know him. Doctor, these are the Arin sisters. It seems they came here to deal with the communication problem because they couldn't contact the Hyperion, and they just happened to run into us. In short, we've successfully reunited now."

The group met, Bronya introduced everyone. Actually, there wasn't much to introduce. Although some of them might have just met, they had all heard of each other. Next, they were going to Sea Abyss City, where they would finally meet Cocolia.

"What? This sounds like an introduction of unrelated people. Bronya, let me introduce myself. I am Rosaria Arlene, the elder of the twins. I am now a warrior working alongside my mother. This is my younger sister, Liliya Arlene."

Dissatisfied with Bronya's glossed introduction, Rosaria swung her hands and stepped forward like a head of state to introduce herself. She proudly patted her chest and said her name, a name destined to make her a big star. Although she was currently a warrior fighting against the Honkai, that did not affect her future status as a big star!

"Nice to meet you. Rosaria is an idiot. If she offends anyone, it is her own doing and has nothing to do with Liliya."

Compared to her lively older sister, Liliya was much quieter. But Shen Gonglin knew that seemingly quiet and sensible girls like her were actually the most cunning. You could tell from what she said. These two sisters were both very interesting people.

"Hey! Liliya, what do you mean I'm an idiot? The person who calls others idiots is the idiot! You're such an idiot!"

Hearing her sister's words, Rosaria, who considered herself a mature warrior, immediately bristled. She looked at her sister with those beautiful big eyes, but her sister had already turned her head away and refused to look at her. However, after just a few words, Theresa and the others understood that Rosaria was indeed a fool.

"So, were you two the only ones who came out to fight the Honkai Beast?"

Theresa couldn't help but ask. Although she had just witnessed their fighting power firsthand, and that large Honkai Beast was easily destroyed with their cooperation, she still felt it was inappropriate to let these two children face the battle alone. Simply put, Theresa's headmistress spirit had kicked in.

"Huh? Child? Little friend, who are you talking about as a child?"

"We're adults now. If you keep treating us like children, we'll suffer."

To everyone's surprise, Theresa's words ignited a shared sense of righteous indignation between the sisters who were on the verge of fighting. The two sisters looked at Theresa together, and their sharp gazes made Theresa involuntarily take a step back. It seemed that they cared a lot about this issue. Theresa inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity, but calling her "little girl"... Indeed, judging from her appearance, Theresa was even younger than the two of them.

"Wait a minute, who are you looking down on? Don't treat my Theresa like a child. Let me tell you, although my Theresa looks like a child, she is actually over forty years old, and she's already a... umm... umm!"

Theresa could tolerate it, but Shen Gonglin couldn't. He stepped forward to speak up for Theresa. These two idiots dared to look down on his headmistress. It was obvious that they were just pretending to be mature. Why pretend in front of Theresa? Didn't they know that Theresa was much older than them?

But why is Theresa covering her mouth to stop her from speaking? I'm clearly trying to help her! Shen Gonglin looks at Theresa, who's jumping on my back, with a puzzled expression. Is there something wrong with her?

"Thank you for speaking up for me, that's well said. Don't say it again next time, just shut up now!"

Theresa's face turned bright red with anger. She covered Shen Gonglin's mouth to stop him from speaking again. How could Shen Gonglin have a mouth? If he didn't talk, his cuteness level would probably be off the charts. By then Kiana, Mei, and Bronya would probably all be won over by him. But he just had to have a mouth... Who told him to say such things? Did he think he was speaking up for her? She really wanted to sew his mouth shut.

"Hmph, if you treat us like children, you're in for a world of trouble. I'll scare you to death if I tell you, Liliya and I each have a Honkai Beast inside us, we're incredibly powerful!"

Rosaria said this triumphantly, while Liliya sighed deeply. This idiot had said something she shouldn't have again. This was supposed to be a secret, but Rosaria said it as if she were showing off. Sure enough, all the intelligence was in her head. Rosaria had nothing in her head at all. She was a complete idiot.

"Hmm... What's so arrogant about this? Sorry, but my Theresa also has a Honkai Beast inside her. It'll scare you to death if I tell you. It's Emperor-class Honkai... Hmm... Theresa, why won't you let me tell you? They can show off, and so can we."

Provoked by Rosaria's arrogant tone, Shen Gonglin struggled to break free from Theresa's grasp and boasted, "What's so great about that? It's like she doesn't have Honkai Beast inside her. Shen Gonglin knows perfectly well that Theresa has one inside her too, and it's incredibly powerful."

"Is this something to brag about? Shen Gonglin, I'm begging you, please just stay quiet. I don't need you to speak up for me. Go play with the Doctor's leg ring, please."
