Honkai Simulator: Not for Kidnapping Herrschers!

She walked over to where the two of them were.

Kiana was slightly stunned, then chuckled, "Little Pudding looks quite cute when she's so nervous."

"That way, no one will steal Mei from me."

Raiden Mei, whose name was just mentioned, had just finished her training.

She watched as Bronya, seemingly angry, walked towards Wendy, and then saw the teasing Kiana. She couldn't help but ask in confusion, "What happened? Kiana."

Kiana chuckled, "Mei Mei, Bronya is jealous."

Chapter Twenty-Eight: Bronya: He's a Liar

While Wendy was guiding at St. Freya, Chen Ran naturally took care of her as well.

He wasn't worried about Wendy's mental fortitude, but if she were to be talked about because of her disability, Wendy would surely be sad.

The young man seemed to have taken on the role of a boyfriend, actively protecting everything about Wendy, including her feelings.

"I thought you'd be resting in your room, I didn't expect you to be so restless."

He held a plastic bag and said with a smile, "Look what I found?"

"Roasted sweet potato."

Wendy smelled the familiar aroma, surprised and delighted, "St. Freya shouldn't have these, where did you find them?"

"I asked the Science Department to buy them, saying they were essential experimental materials."

Chen Ran teased, "This is the convenience of being a professional, even if you're questioned, no one will openly object."

He was fully displaying the ugly side of being a 'privileged person'.

The young man peeled the steaming hot roasted sweet potato, then used the wooden spoon from the bag to scoop it out bit by bit and feed it to her.

Wendy happily ate it.

She didn't care about other people's gazes. Although it made her a little shy, she could accept it.

The girl was undoubtedly happy.

However, this only made Bronya, who was walking towards them, even more confused.

"No matter how I look at it, that person must have ulterior motives."

"Bronya has an obligation to expose his true face."

"But it's too early to reveal my intentions now, it will easily make him guarded."

Although Bronya was small, she was very clever.

She suppressed her thoughts and walked up to the two of them, "Teacher Wendy, Bronya still has some things she doesn't understand and wants to ask for your guidance."

A flicker of confusion crossed Chen Ran's eyes.

In his memory, wasn't Bronya a genius?

Wendy, on the other hand, didn't think too much about it and said with a smile, "Of course."

But then Bronya directly used the Heavy Onslaught Rabbit to push Wendy's wheelchair away. As she left, she didn't forget to glance at Chen Ran.

However, because she was so expressionless, Chen Ran couldn't tell what her gaze meant.

He just shook his head.

Chen Ran found Hua, who was also in the training ground, and asked, "Is Wendy getting used to it here?"

"She should be getting used to it."

During this time, Hua had been living in the same dormitory as the two of them. Because they were both Shenzhou people, they had common topics and weren't strangers.

Chen Ran breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, the plan is about to enter a crucial stage."

Both the experiments in cooperation with MEI and Durandal's calculations proved that the key to the Divine Right Plan was related to consciousness.

And the Divine Right Plan was actually an auxiliary plan formulated by Otto to supplement the incomplete Sirin Plan.

In other words, the theory of obtaining Herrscher abilities through the power of emotion could also be applied in the Divine Right Plan.

His recent busyness in the laboratory was just a pretense.

The real goal was to cultivate his relationship with Wendy. Since what happened with Kiana and Mei could happen, it could also happen with Wendy.

From this perspective, he was an emotional con artist.

As for how deep the relationship needed to be, Chen Ran still needed to observe it himself.

But after these two days of interaction, Wendy's Stigmata had clearly been influenced by her consciousness and was beginning to fuse with the Herrscher Core instead of resisting it.

"Hua, in a while, the plan should be close to complete success."

He said with a smile, "I think there won't be any problems then."

Hua smiled and said, "Okay."

However, after Chen Ran left, a hint of worry flashed in Hua's eyes.

She hesitated for a long time, then turned and went to a hidden place.

Then, the events that transpired here were reported to Schicksal headquarters.

Wendy was brought before Kiana and Raiden Mei by Bronya.

Kiana teased, "Little Pudding, you're something else, actually snatching her away right in front of her boyfriend."

The words 'boyfriend' made Wendy blush, and she only later realized, "Hey, you weren't trying to ask for training advice?"

Bronya stated calmly, "Bronya has a good grasp of basic training and doesn't require special guidance. However, if Wendy wishes to guide Bronya, Bronya can be guided by Wendy."

Wendy became somewhat angry, "You're lying to me."

Bronya tilted her head, "Bronya is not lying to you. Bronya merely wants you to stay away from a liar."

Wendy looked taken aback, "What liar?"

"That man."

The girl pointed at Chen Ran and said, "Bronya has seen many people due to past experiences. Bronya can sense that his feelings for you are more like an act."

Bronya was not lying.

Chen Ran was very good to Wendy, which goes without saying. However, his feelings for Wendy were clearly more complex than mere affection; it was more like a pretense. Wendy herself might not have realized this, but Bronya could tell at first glance.

One's affection cannot be faked.

Therefore, Chen Ran was a liar.

This was the conclusion her brain reached after processing all the information.

Wendy puffed out her cheeks, "While I have a good temper, I will get angry if you say that."

Bronya remained expressionless, "Bronya simply doesn't want Wendy to be near a liar."

"Hmph, it's none of your business."

Wendy stubbornly pushed the wheelchair away.

Raiden Mei, standing nearby, hadn't even grasped what had happened.

Kiana marveled, "Idiot Bronya, look at the mess you've made."

"Idiot Kiana has no right to call me an idiot."

"Hmph, who says I have no right?" she retorted, "I know you're just jealous and want to break them up, but you can't be this clueless. You're not even as good as me."

Bronya tilted her head, "What method does Kiana have?"

"Heh heh, although I haven't experienced it myself, I've heard a lot about relationships breaking up because of a third party interfering." She said half-jokingly, "If Bronya were to be that third party..."

"Alright, Kiana, stop joking with Bronya. What if she takes it seriously?"

Raiden Mei interrupted her, "Bronya, don't overthink it. I think that man is quite good, and besides..."

She said with a hint of helplessness, "Given Wendy's current condition, this is probably the best outcome, isn't it?"

Bronya, however, wore a thoughtful expression.

"Sister Mei thinks I was too direct? Bronya will correct it."

Flame-Chaser, First Research Institute.

After MEI left the First Research Institute, Chen Ran (No. 666) was assigned another task:

Analyze the combination of biological gene transcription and hereditary research with Honkai.

In other words, it was to attempt to express the previous research genetically, which was what Chen Ran had blurted out to MEI as Stigmata.

This time, he was no longer in a leading role.

Instead, he became Mobius's assistant.

"Alright, our work begins. I'm really looking forward to your performance, Chen Ran."

Chapter Twenty-Nine: Why Are You So Good to Me?

St. Freya, Valkyrie Dormitory.

After a long day, Chen Ran was drying Wendy's hair.

The hairdryer buzzed, and even in this technologically advanced Honkai world, the vibration of the motor remained a difficult problem to solve.

Due to her physical limitations, Hua helped Wendy with her bathing.

However, the girl preferred Chen Ran to dry her hair. The strong warm air gradually dried the moisture, and the fresh scent of shampoo filled the entire room, dispelling all worries.

She tilted her head back slightly, feeling Chen Ran's gentle massage.

Sometimes Wendy wondered if she had been completely captivated by this young man, otherwise, why would she be so happy?

The hairdryer's motor slowly stopped, and Chen Ran, at some point, had picked up a hair tie.

"Should it be a braid today, or pigtails?"

"None of them."

Wendy said playfully, "Braids are too much trouble, and my hair isn't that long. Pigtails are too childish. Actually, I think it's best not to tie my hair at all."

Wendy didn't have long hair; it was shoulder-length, so she didn't need to style it specifically.

This was the hairstyle most Valkyries kept. In fact, long hair like Kiana and Raiden Mei's was the minority among Valkyries, as excessively long hair greatly interfered with combat.

Chen Ran chuckled and didn't insist.

He held the young girl and sat on the sofa, quietly recounting the events of the day.

The young man and woman were like lovers in their first embrace, sharing every little detail.

Wendy felt she was probably infatuated with this feeling.

However, she also felt a bit dazed.

Just as she was about to immerse herself, Wendy's mind suddenly flashed with something Bronya had said before.

He's a liar.

She abruptly shook her head and happened to meet Chen Ran's eyes.

"What's wrong?" Chen Ran asked, peeling an apple for her.

"Nothing, I just feel like this is like a dream."

Wendy still hid what Bronya had told her and changed the subject, saying, "The apple in your hand is getting all pockmarked. Stop peeling it, you're losing too much of the flesh."

"Is it that bad?"

Chen Ran looked at the apple in his hand, which was a sorry sight, and the peel on the table with bits of flesh still attached. He couldn't help but feel ashamed.

"Sigh, I used to eat it with the skin on. I wanted to be a gentle, domestic good man, but it looks like I failed."
