"Mm, of course."
Sensing Mei's emotions, Gwen tightened his grip on her hand slightly...
Naturally, Gwen did not let Chen Tianwen, who was still crying, hear his conversation with Raiden Mei. Instead, he set up a simple soundproof barrier around the little girl.
Once the girl had stopped sobbing, Gwen asked Mei to take her to wash up and change out of the clothes heavily contaminated with Honkai Energy. He himself went to find Chen Tianwu among the people stationed around the outskirts of the base.
"The matter is basically over. It will not be publicized. Officially, Wenwen was injured, which is why she did not evacuate with everyone else. You needn't worry that she'll be discriminated against because of it.
"However, I hope you can understand that there will still be some covert surveillance. Don't worry, though. It won't affect your normal lives."
After Chen Tianwu thanked him profusely, Gwen went on to explain the follow-up arrangements.
"Because this new Herrscher Authority is rather unusual, and the threat was removed before it caused any harm, it was never detected. That makes it easier to conceal."
"Mm, I understand."
Having spent a year in the base, Chen Tianwu fully understood what Gwen meant. He showed no dissatisfaction whatsoever.

"Mei is helping Wenwen bathe right now, getting rid of the traces of Honkai Energy left on her body. Just wait a moment..."
Before Gwen could finish, Chen Tianwen, now dressed in a new set of clothes, ran into the room and threw herself into her brother's arms.
"Big brother!"
"Wenwen."
