Theresa Can't Get Motivated / The Senior Catgirl Fan with the Perfect Butt
I have big breasts, and I call the shots!
The two locked eyes, exchanging glances and engaging in a silent battle. Soon, due to the height difference, Theresa, who could only look up at the screen, had sore eyes and a stiff neck, and had to give up.
"Lady Theresa, we are here to investigate..."
Seeing that the originally serious and oppressive atmosphere was gradually going astray, another accompanying S-class Valkyrie Durandal, took a step forward, trying to speak up to bring the topic back on track.
"Ah, well, I'd like to talk to Himeko about the vacation and salary arrangements first, since she's a descendant of an old friend..."
"No matter what, as an elder, I have to worry about her marriage. Look, she's already 27 or 28; if we keep putting it off, she'll be past her prime..."
Theresa waved her hands repeatedly, feigning intimacy while secretly venting her anger by tearing at Himeko's cheeks.
"Let me take a look around first, check out the situation in person, and I'll let you know if needed..."
The meticulous and rigid Durandal still wanted to stick to her idea of prioritizing important matters, but Theresa put on a stern face and gently advised her against it.
"As a knight, observing etiquette is a virtue. Even the Holy Knight Roland has never forcibly interrupted his lord's conversation. You understand what I mean, Doo-Doo?"
"Yes, Lady Theresa!"
Upon hearing the names of Knightly Virtue and Roland, the blonde, blue-eyed Knight Princess pondered for a moment before decisively leading her maid Rita to turn around and conduct preliminary investigations on campus.
However, as Youlan Dale descended the steps, confusion arose between his brows, and he involuntarily stopped, his hand on his sword.
"Has Paladin Roland truly never interrupted his lord's conversations? Is even urgent military intelligence forbidden?"
Rita, the maid with her arms crossed, stepped forward, covered her mouth, and chuckled, seemingly with a hint of mockery.
"You can check the 'Song of Roland'; there might actually be a precedent for prioritizing urgent matters..."
Durandal, who was pacing back and forth on the steps, suddenly realized what was happening and slammed her right fist into her left palm.
"Great idea! How come I didn't think of that? Rita, how do I get to the library?"
Rita, who had intended to watch the spectacle unfold, suddenly gasped, her face stiffened, and she rolled her eyes before casually pointing in a direction.
Durandal walked forward without any suspicion, her heart filled with a sacred sense of mission to discover evidence as soon as possible and take the opportunity to persuade her lord.
"She believes everything I say! A stubborn idiot! She truly lives up to her nickname 'Doo-Doo'! Is her head all muscle?"
Rita's lips twitched, and veins bulged on her forehead, filled with resentment towards Durandal had left the team first.
"Doo-Doo" is short for Doo-Doo, which means "fool" in English slang. It also refers to the dodo bird, scientifically known as the idiot dove, a very stupid bird.
Durandal still mistakenly believes that this playful nickname, widely circulated among Valkyrie, is a term of endearment used by Theresa.
Why did they pair me with her? I'm so angry! She's not cute at all now that she's grown up!
Forget it, getting angry too much will cause wrinkles. Since I can't get into the Principal's Office conversation, let's try another way. Business is more important.
Rita sighed and searched the scene of the crime, but as the school bell rang, groups of Valkyrie walked by, chatting and laughing.
The maid with short, grey-gold hair immediately brightened up, and an excited look appeared on her flushed cheeks.
Their tiny bodies, rosy cheeks, and clear, childlike voices make you want to pick them up and change their clothes one by one!
Far East Branch, heaven! Rita secretly wiped away her drool, a blushing, infatuated smile spreading across her face.
Immediately, with unwavering willpower, the maid withdrew her eerie gaze from the group of children, repeatedly giving herself this internal affirmation.
Mission first! Mission first!
"Sister Bronya, there's a maid! She's so pretty! Seele wants to dress like this next time she goes to the orphanage to take care of everyone..."
"It's just a maid, what's the big deal! Hmph, I have three or four full-time maids at home!"
"How about we visit your home next time we have a holiday, Xing?"
"Really? Cough cough, I'll go, but I didn't invite you..."
As Seele, Ann, Bronya whispered among themselves as they passed by the maid, Rita clutched her chest, slowly turned around, her gaze unfocused, and unconsciously followed them, taking advantage of the shadows to hide herself.
Yes, this is a hidden veteran lolicon. Starting when Durandal eight or nine years old, he secretly recorded the blonde doll's daily life, including her clothes, food, and various moments that were significant in her growth, using his position as a maid.
The thick book in her hand was actually a diary of the little girl's upbringing over the years, containing invaluable firsthand information, including records of Theresa herself.
Thus, the two S-class Valkyrie, who were expected to stir up trouble by the person behind the scenes, went to the library to look up information, while the other started playing a stalking game targeting lolis.
P. S.: A certain green mastermind behind the scenes: People's hearts are scattered, and the team is difficult to lead.
Chapter 620, Section 649: Theresa is not motivated.
They're gone! Kevin and Fu Hua exchanged a glance, both feeling a little relieved for the moment.
"Himeko, I want to drink! Do you still have that sweet and sour sparkling wine from last time? I need to grind some more dungeons! I want to sleep with you tonight, and can I borrow your SAO equipment?"
At this moment, Theresa, who was sitting in the chair, slumped down, dangling her short legs, and loudly made her demands.
However, as the shadows of darkness gathered, a terrifying and oppressive atmosphere spread.
"What... what are you doing? I already agreed to a raise, isn't that enough...?"
Theresa looked at the three men with unfriendly expressions who surrounded her. Their narrowed eyes revealed a sinister glint, and Theresa immediately shrank back and gave way.
"Enough nonsense! Why would someone from [The Immortal Blade] be loitering around the Far East Branch? What are they up to?"
Murata Himeko was acquainted with the White-haired Academy Principal and had deep feelings for the Far East Branch, so she spoke without any reservations.
Meanwhile, the Confessions that was just one step away from being completed was ruined, making the Red-haired Mature Woman even more furious.
"So, you asked me to send Rita and Durandal away because you were worried about these things?"
Theresa was just too lazy to think, not really stupid. From the moment she started acting with Himeko, she sensed something unusual. Under pressure from the crowd, she could only scratch her head and explain.
Last night, the Far East Branch experienced Herrscher- level Honkai energy reaction. Coincidentally, the Snow Wolf Squad was out on duty, and Siegfried, who was supposed to be stationed at the scene of the incident, was dispatched to Singapore to investigate some unresolved cases.
The Far East Branch is a bridgehead connecting the East and the West. Although the Honkai Will has disappeared, no purebred Herrscher have appeared in the past ten years.
However, given the precedent of the Siberia Great Honkai, Herrscher trigger natural disasters remain a key target for the St. Freya Academy to guard against.
Furthermore, the collaboration between the SCP Foundation and Theresa, Cecilia, Fu Hua, and others is kept secret within the organization due to the highly sensitive nature of the Herrscher's identities.
To give some unknown contact room to move around freely, the Far East Branch is currently being maintained by mostly retired ordinary Valkyrie. The only ones who can be considered truly skilled are Murata Himeko and Fu Hua.
The weakness of the defense system naturally made the higher-ups at the St. Freya Academy suspicious and paranoid after learning of the Herrscher's appearance.
In order to find out the truth, the Valkyrie unit [Immortal Blade], the only one that could rival the [Snow Wolf Squad], was sent here for a week-long investigation during the gap when the Saintess family and the Knight Family were away.
To put it bluntly, wherever there are people, there will be conflicts of interest; wherever there are disputes of interest, there will be struggles.
After the reorganization of [Schicksal], the marriage between the Saintess and the knight, along with Cecilia's personal prestige, gave this "Legendary Woman" a broad base among the lower and middle classes.
However, Cecilia was not interested in power, and although the bishop's family was declining, it was still a formidable force, and Theresa firmly held the position of headmistress, so the upper echelons of politics were still controlled by those ancient families.
Since Bishop Otto came to power, a number of ancient families who benefited from this have risen in status and are even able to use the power of Schicksal to pursue their own interests.
Gradually, they were reduced to having to obey the whims of their former thugs. Under such intense psychological pressure, they naturally refused to submit.
The [Immortal Blade], designed to reduce Cecilia's influence, was born out of this need, intended to counterbalance the marriage between the knight and the Saintess.
However, on the surface, the [Immortal Blade] remains the personal guard under the bishop, directly under the command of the successor Theresa.
Cecilia's indifferent nature and Theresa's carefree attitude meant that [Immortal Blade] could never have a chance to compete with [Snow Wolf Squad].
Now, the commotion coming from the Far East Branch, and Cecilia and her husband's preoccupation with other matters, have given those above the top an opportunity to intervene in the school's management.
"So, after ten years, you still haven't fully grasped the upper echelons of the St. Freya Academy?"
Kevin frowned as he casually criticized Theresa's execution skills.
"They need to eat, they need financing..."
"If I take them all down, who will pay their salaries?"
Theresa shrank back, clearly somewhat afraid of the voice.
As expected, the lingering poison of [Schicksal] had not completely dissipated. Theresa lacked Otto's ability to suppress dissent, and Cecilia did not possess the ruthless resolve to cut flesh and bones. In the end, they could only maintain the current situation.
Even so, Kevin did not intend to allow the SCP Foundation to intervene forcefully, since the two sides only had a cooperative relationship, not a subordinate one.
Those ancient families, with nothing better to do than cause trouble, are now only good at creating problems; they have no ability to interfere with the operation of the army and the academy. Let them be.
However, there was one person he had to be wary of. Kevin's eyes narrowed slightly as he thought of this.
"Lord Otto alright?"
At this moment, the atmosphere became somewhat tense, and everyone looked at him with strange expressions. Fu Hua couldn't help but purse his lips in response.
"I forgot to tell you, in the third year after the Second Honkai ended, Bishop Otto succumbed to his injuries and passed away..."
"I officiated at the funeral with Siegfried, Cecilia, and the burial site is still on the Floating Island of Schicksal..."
Theresa, whose wounds had been reopened, also looked somewhat dejected, a hint of coldness appearing on her small face as she looked up.
"Don't worry, Grandpa, he has indeed passed away. However, to allow him to depart peacefully, we have chosen to hold a secret funeral..."
Kevin coughed and turned his head away, a complex mix of emotions welling up inside him.
He could be certain that the sword strike from Siberia back then severely injured Otto's body, and the attached Honkai energy corroded him, making his death quite plausible. That was a problem that even Mei hadn't been able to solve.
However, the game didn't end in the end, and we lost such an opponent, which is somewhat regrettable.
After all, that's too easy on him...
However, in front of Theresa, Kevin naturally had to restrain himself and tactfully avoided this sensitive topic.
The school principal jumped onto a chair, put his hands on his hips, and gave a serious warning.
"[The Immortal Blade] will likely conduct a week-long investigation at the Far East Branch, ostensibly for teaching purposes, but actually intending to find out if the Honkai Will has been revived."
"I'll help cover for them, but you'd better not make any major mistakes while Siegfried and Cecilia are on assignment..."
"Remember, nobody wants to see the Honkai erupt..."
Kevin shook his head inwardly, a strange meaning flashing in his eyes.
That's not necessarily true. I'm afraid the people behind [The Immortal Blade] are probably hoping that the Herrscher Street will come out and cause trouble again.
This would both weaken the control of the knights and Saintess families over the lower and middle classes and make the world realize the importance of [Schicksal].
Your grandfather Otto did the same thing before—raising a bandit to enhance his own power. He even tried to use Sirin to kill the First Herrscher Welt, but he almost messed it up.
Otto... tsk... why am I thinking about him again...? A strange irritation rose in the man's heart.
Meanwhile, in a dark palace thousands of miles away, a figure leaned forward slightly on a sofa, pushing the chariot toward the enemy's heartland. As he coughed violently, he involuntarily pulled out a handkerchief to cover his mouth and nose.
Blood left large red stains, and the figure, with trembling hands, poured pills from a row of bottles on the table, shakily swallowing them.
Time is running out...
We are all the same...
A strange murmur in the darkness carried a chilling, murderous aura, as if a wounded Beast lurked in the shadows.
P. S.: I'm updating early today to save some drafts for later when I need to add more chapters.
Chapter 621, Section 650: The Experienced Cat Slave with a Perky Butt
In the afternoon, after everyone decided to work together to stabilize the [Immortal Blade] team, they dispersed. Kevin wasn't too worried about the Herrscher's exposure.
Even he, who could foresee the future, couldn't find any clues in Raiden Mei, let alone these outsiders.
Besides, even if things go wrong, it wouldn't be difficult for him to capture all the guys from the Immortal Blade.
However, he still had a vague sense of unease about something. It's easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark. He had to first rule out the most dangerous suspicions.
As he strolled along the tree-lined path, he stopped in his tracks at the sight of several chivalric novels and classical epics placed there, for the owner of these books was perched on the tree trunk above him.
"Don't be afraid, sweetie..."
The blonde girl, speaking in a low voice, approached with the gentlest of movements. After a period of arduous crawling, she finally managed to reach the orange kitten at the top of the tree trunk with her right hand.
The soft, furry touch between her fingers and the little one's sweet, babyish cries melted the blonde girl's heart, and her Weilan eyes narrowed into crescents.
"Cough cough..."
As expected of a cat-loving goose, a dignified S-class Valkyrie, please mind your image! Couldn't you have picked it up before petting it? Kevin looked up and vaguely saw a sliver of blackness hidden among the leaves, coughed slightly, and thought to himself.
