Herrscher of Reason Alters Your Consciousness, and You Feel Like There's a Great Title Here

Not to mention how the previous chapter somehow turned into an entire chapter of dialogue, the video continued in this chapter.

Seeing that Ai Yi had not prepared a script, A-Quan even overcame that nauseating urge to vomit with her "powerful" willpower (actually, she had already thrown up everything and had nothing left to vomit), forcibly raised her head, turned to Ai Yi, and asked:

"What do we do?" (*?????)

Ai Yi and Himeko looked at A-Quan's big, tear-filled eyes, unable to tell whether they were watering from the pain of vomiting or from sadness over the lack of a script. They had no idea what to do either.

Just as both sides reached a stalemate... the true hero was finally about to make her entrance!

Xiao Shi had already been upset about being called over by Ai-chan and the others for team-building (overtime) when she had been enjoying her vacation at home with her "biological mother." Then she discovered that she had not even been born during this part of the plot, and that she had been brought here purely as free labor—like some sucker. That made her even more upset!

Xiao Shi had originally planned to sneak away when she got the chance, but she had not expected trouble to break out among the leads just after changing into casual clothes.

"No script? Isn't this exactly the moment for the great Herrscher of Reason to make her entrance!" (?ω?)

"As long as I write a perfect script, my status in the company will definitely soar! Maybe I can even become that Old Fossil's superior someday. Then... hehehe, that little Old Fossil will be completely at my mercy, hehehe..." (?ˉ??ˉ??)

With that thought, Xiao Shi immediately rushed out, conveniently adding some special effects to her entrance.

(Herrscher of Reason alters your consciousness. You now feel that it is very dark here.)

Before Himeko and the others could figure out why their surroundings had suddenly darkened, a beam of light suddenly lit up, revealing a Herrscher of Reason who, for some reason, felt very reliable standing beneath it.

(Herrscher of Reason alters your consciousness. You now feel that a beam of light is shining upon the very reliable Herrscher of Reason.)

Xiao Shi put her hands on her hips, looking utterly smug.

"At a time like this, you need the omnipotent Herrscher of Reason to help you write a perfect script!"

[Mei: That's the class monitor!] Σ(????)?

[Kevin: Hua, you actually...]"(oДo*)

[Theresa: What? Fu Hua is actually a Herrscher?!] ?(?'?'??)?

[Fu Hua: That's impossible!]

[Tesla: What's impossible about that? As long as someone gets chosen, anyone can become a Herrscher, right?] (￢_￢)

[Fu Hua: I don't know why, but I have a feeling that I can't become a Herrscher.]

[Fu Hua: Also, @Kevin, do we know each other? Why do I feel like you're familiar?]

Fu Hua was a little confused. She always felt as though she knew that Kevin, and the Elysia who had joined earlier as well. For some reason, they both gave her a strange sense of familiarity.

It was as if they had once been companions who could rely on one another. Could it be that she had forgotten them because of the Feather of Dust?

Fu Hua shook her head and decided not to dwell on it. Compared to that, the Herrscher of Reason in the video was more worthy of her attention.

[Theresa: That's right! We're an academy that trains Valkyries. How could we possibly train Herrschers?!]

[Mei: ...] (￢_￢)

[Wendy: ...] (￢_￢)

[Kiana: Do I... count?] ?_?

[Theresa: ...] (?_?)

[Theresa: This is just an accident! Mei was already a Herrscher before she joined us! Wendy only used the Gem of Desire! Kiana only became a Herrscher because of Sirin!] ＜(￣3￣)＞

[Sirin: What does that have to do with me? Blame that bastard Otto!]

[Raven: Why do I suddenly feel like Herrscher Academy suits you better than Valkyrie Academy?] (￢_￢)

[Jackal: Indeed. Of the four known Herrschers, only the First Herrscher has nothing to do with you. Aren't all the others your students?] (￣Д￣)┍

[Welt: ...]

Welt suddenly wanted to say that he was actually a teacher at St. Freya Academy too, but to avoid causing Theresa trouble, he decided it was better not to mention it.

(Although he had spoken before, everyone had merely assumed it was someone with the same name. After all, who would have imagined that the leader of one of Honkai Impact 3rd's three major factions would serve as a teacher under the granddaughter of a certain Golden Retriever he hated most? That was as absurd as a football match ending 0–7, only to later discover that someone had filmed it more than a decade ago!)

But after Raven and the others said that, Welt realized that all the Herrschers really did seem to be at St. Freya now! And judging from the video, that Herrscher of Reason should be Fu Hua in the future. Thinking about it that way... tiny little St. Freya Academy had actually produced four Herrschers!

And with him, a Herrscher, as a teacher too... even Welt began to wonder whether St. Freya Academy really was an academy for training Herrschers.

[Theresa: You, you... anyway, our St. Freya Academy cannot possibly be Herrscher Academy!] (.-`ω′-)

[Rita: Lady Theresa, naturally, we believe St. Freya Academy is a Valkyrie academy. Please rest assured~]

Ahhh! I really want to see what Lady Theresa looks like right now! She must look so pitiful and adorable! {{|└(＞o＜)┘|}}

What a shame I can't see it for myself. No! Even if I can't see adorable Lady Theresa, I still have Lady Durandal! I've decided that tonight, I absolutely need to replenish my Lady Durandal energy! (???ω???)

Ehehe~ Lady Durandal~ (〃?ω?)

Durandal looked at Rita, who had been staring at her for some reason since earlier, with some confusion. "Rita, why have you been staring at me? Is there something on my face?" (??_??)?

Hearing Durandal's voice, Rita snapped back to her senses.

Oh no! I got too absorbed in my thoughts just now. I need to find an excuse quickly.

Although she had thought a great deal just then, Rita still maintained the poise of a perfect maid and answered calmly:

"It's nothing, Lady Durandal. You must have imagined it, right?"

Durandal did not think much of Rita's answer and merely assumed it had been her imagination.

Seeing that Durandal did not press further, Rita secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then felt a little disappointed.

Ah~ When will Lady Durandal finally notice my feelings?

The video continued.

"Huh?" ×2 Himeko and Ai Yi: Although this person felt very reliable, why did she also somehow feel unreliable?

"Ah?" This was A-Quan. She raised her head to see who this benefactor was, but unfortunately, her eyes were so swollen from crying that she could not see clearly. Though she could not make out who was standing before her, going by her instincts, this had to be a very reliable person, right?
