Ling Feng, Kiana, Mei, and Bronya explored Tokyo after checking into a hot spring inn, where the lack of rooms prompted Kiana and Mei to silently compete over sharing with Ling Feng.

• Ling Feng told Rita and Bronya to leave, and Bronya asked him to imprint a Stigmata on her when he returned home.

He and Rita took the Queen and the unconscious Mei aboard the Moonlight Throne toward St. Freya Academy, where Ling Feng kept kissing the powerless Queen to prevent her from recovering energy.

• Ling Feng comforted Rita and continued kissing the sleeping Queen to drain her energy, but the Queen began to respond to his gentler kisses before biting him when he mistook her for Kiana.
• Ling Feng and Rita brought the Queen to St. Freya Academy, where Tesla found that Mei was stable but more likely to undergo Herrscherification because the Conquest Gem had become more active.
• Tesla's scans showed that the Queen had no Gem and could barely recover energy, revealing that Ling Feng's repeated kisses had not been necessary to keep her weakened.

He said goodbye to Rita as she left to investigate ruins, then tried to persuade the Queen to eat while she remained imprisoned in Kiana’s body.

• Tesla confined the Queen in a sealed room that blocked Honkai energy and signals while she searched for a way to restore Kiana’s consciousness.
• Back in his room, Ling Feng coughed up blood, and Chiyou warned that he might have less than a month to live unless he found Shennong.
• Ling Feng had lunch with Rita, who said she was leaving to investigate uncertain ruins, and asked her to share her report afterward.
• Tesla told Ling Feng that the Queen refused to eat, so he brought her a meal in the sealed room.
• The Queen rejected the food, though her stomach growled, and Ling Feng claimed he liked her more than Kiana because he could kiss and touch her freely.

Ling Feng persuaded the Honkai Queen to eat by feeding her, and her meal stirred an unfamiliar, nostalgic emotion in her. After she finished the food, Ling Feng left the room and Tesla teased him, then objected to being called “brother.”

• Ling Feng apologized to the Queen and tried several ways to persuade her to eat, but she refused because she hated humans and wanted to destroy the world.
• Ling Feng offered the food as tribute, and the Queen finally tasted a fish ball before unexpectedly crying at a feeling she found familiar.

• Tesla praised Ling Feng for getting the Queen to eat, then asked him not to call her “brother” because she was a girl.

Ling Feng learned how Your Majesty arose from Sirin and Kiana’s memories and rejected Tesla’s plan to erase the two Herrschers’ consciousnesses, asking her to seek another way to restore Kiana. He later fed Your Majesty dinner and a second meal, and she ended by offering him power if he would become her servant.

• Tesla explained to Ling Feng that Your Majesty was formed from memories Sirin and Kiana rejected, and that Sirin’s hatred of humanity shaped her.
• Tesla proposed using virtual reality to erase Sirin and Your Majesty’s consciousnesses, but Ling Feng asked her to prioritize ways to awaken Kiana without erasing either consciousness.
• Ling Feng learned Tesla’s account of the Second Honkai War, including Sirin’s creation by Schicksal, her battle with Cecilia, and Kiana’s later arrival at St. Freya Academy.
• When Tesla reported that Your Majesty was refusing food, Ling Feng figured out she wanted to be fed and gave her dinner.
• Your Majesty asked Ling Feng to bring another serving, enjoyed the food and soup, then again offered him power if he would become her servant.

Ling Feng named the Queen “Consort Ai” before leaving her to check on Mei, who had recovered from her collapse. As Mei blamed herself for what happened to Kiana, Ling Feng comforted and kissed her, but touching her caused a sudden electric shock and revealed blue currents running across her body.

• Ling Feng gave the Queen the name “Consort Ai,” fed her dinner, and refused her offer to become his attendant.
