The smoke gradually dispersed, and Kiana's figure slowly emerged.
"Kiana..." Mei wanted to rush over to see if Kiana was all right, but Wendy stopped her.
"Don't go over there. She isn't Kiana anymore."
Wendy's expression was grave, and her eyes were full of vigilance as she looked at Kiana.
At last, the smoke completely cleared. The Kiana before them looked unchanged, but her hospital gown had vanished, replaced by a gown fit for a queen. Several Void Lances floated behind her, and her eyes had turned golden.
"Y-Your Majesty the Queen!" Bella looked at Kiana—or rather, Sirin—with delighted disbelief.
"That's right! It's me, Bella~☆"
"Waaah~ That's wonderful! You're all right, Your Majesty the Queen!"
Bella threw herself at Sirin, and Sirin caught her in an embrace.
"Waaah~ I thought... I thought something had happened to you, Your Majesty the Queen! Waaah..."
"There, there, Bella. How could anything possibly happen to me?"
Seeing Bella sobbing like that, Sirin patiently comforted her.
[Theresa: Mei, how are things over there? We've detected two Herrscher-level Honkai Energy reactions from your location!] [Wendy: Principal, the first one was me.] [Theresa: Then what about the second?] [Sirin: That was me~☆] [Mei: Principal, this is bad! Sirin has taken control of Kiana's body.] [Theresa: What! Sirin, what are you trying to do by taking control of Kiana's body?] [Einstein: Has the Second Herrscher returned to life?] [Tesla: Joachim, where the hell did you die off to?! Get your ass back here right now!] [Welt: Sorry, but I probably won't be able to get back anytime soon.] [Sirin: Stop, stop, stop! Don't act like I'm so fond of this body. If it weren't for Bella, I wouldn't want to use it!☆]
After all, I don't want to turn into an idiot!
[System: All right~ Since you've received the reward, this livestream is over. The Livestream Room will be receiving a small upgrade next, so we'll meet again in a few days.] [Stelle: Huh? So we won't have any videos to watch for the next few days?] [Himeko: All right, Stelle. We'll be leaving the Space Station soon too, so hurry up and get ready.] [Asta: Huh? Miss Himeko is leaving so soon?] [Old Yang: After all, we still have to carry out The Trailblaze on other planets, and we've stayed at the Space Station long enough this time.] [System: All right, then. See you again in a few days. Don't miss me too much~ Bye-bye!] [System has closed the Livestream Room]
Seeing that the Livestream Room had closed, Sirin turned her attention to Mei and the others.
When Mei saw Sirin look over, she vigilantly reached for her sword...
Oh dear! She'd forgotten she was only wearing a hospital gown. There was no sword on her.
Sirin found it rather amusing to see Mei trying to draw her sword, only to realize she hadn't brought one.
But remembering how serious and meticulous the Young Lady had been before, then looking at Mei now, who had forgotten she hadn't even brought her sword, Sirin silently lamented the terrifying nature of the Grassworm virus.
My goodness! This Young Lady had only spent a little too much time around that Grassworm and ended up like this. And then there was me, sharing a body with that Grassworm...
Sure enough! It was better to use her own body.
Though Mei felt a little embarrassed after realizing she had no sword, she still watched Sirin warily.
Sirin looked utterly relaxed, completely ignoring Mei. She turned to Wendy, who was sitting on the bed. "Well, well, well... if it isn't the Herrscher of Wind who got held up by three students and knocked out by Anti-Entropy's toy?☆" (σ°?°)σ..:*
Ignoring Sirin's mockery, Wendy merely said in a strange tone, "I don't care~ I don't care~ I don't care! Take pictures of me! Take pictures of me! Take pictures of me!" (??_??) Hehe
The moment Sirin heard that, she thought of A-Quan crying and making a scene. Her face instantly flushed red, though it was impossible to tell whether she was angry or embarrassed. "You embarrassing Herrscher! I told you, that wasn't me!☆"
Wendy was also "a little" angered by Sirin's taunt. "Who are you calling an embarrassing Herrscher?! You crybaby Herrscher!"
"Shut up! I am the Honkai Queen! The great Herrscher of the Void! I'm not some crybaby Herrscher!☆" With that, she flung a Void Lance at Wendy. (;｀O′)o
Wendy used her Authority to dodge Sirin's attack in an instant, then casually flung out a wind blade.
"What? You cry and won't even let people talk about it?" m9(｀д′)!!!!
"I told you, that wasn't me!" Sirin opened a spatial portal in front of her, redirecting the wind blade elsewhere, then fired several dozen more Void Lances. (.?`ω′?)
Using the Gem of Desire's power, Wendy directly altered the Void Lances' trajectories, sending them flying elsewhere.
"Tch! All you do is throw around this junk over and over. How about calling yourself the Lance-Throwing Herrscher from now on?" Wendy said, flinging out several more wind blades. o(｀ω′*)o
"You're the Lance-Thrower! Your whole family throws lances! This place is too small. If you've got the guts, let's fight outside!" Sirin once again swallowed those wind blades into space, then threw out several more Void Lances.
"Fine! Then let's fight outside." Wendy changed the trajectories of those Void Lances again, then flew out through the window. (╬◣д◢)
Just as Sirin was about to follow, she heard Bella calling out to her.
"Your Majesty the Queen! I want to fight alongside you too!" Bella looked at Sirin with a resolute expression. ?('ω')?
But seeing that Bella was not even as tall as Theresa, Sirin couldn't bear to let her help.
"Bella, stay here. This is a battle between me and her."
Bella still wanted to say something, but Sirin interrupted her. "Bella, be good!" (.?`ω′?)
Seeing Sirin like this, Bella could only obediently stay behind. Still, she said to Sirin, "Then please be careful, Your Majesty the Queen. As your exclusive maid, I'll prepare your favorite food and wait for you to return!" ?('ω')?
"Then I'm counting on you, Bella!☆" With that, Sirin flew outside.
After Sirin had left, Bella turned to Mei. "Hello, miss. May I ask where the kitchen is?"
When Sirin wasn't around, Bella was a polite, exemplary student.
Mei had heard Bella and Sirin's conversation as well, and knew she was going to prepare food for Sirin. Though she was worried about Kiana's condition, the most important thing now was to wait for the Principal and the others to come provide support. Wendy should be able to keep Sirin occupied without any problem. After all, they were both Herrschers, so their strength should be about the same.
As for Bella, Mei would keep her occupied.
"The kitchen? Follow me." Mei led Bella toward the kitchen...
