Her eldest daughter, Bianka Durandal Kaslana, is set up in the story as the strongest S-Rank Valkyrie.

Her second daughter, Sirin Kaslana, is set up in the story as a six-core Herrscher, a villain with extremely high B-ge, who single-handedly fights against the two major organizations of humanity.

Her youngest daughter, Kiana Kaslana, a B-Rank Valkyrie...

Kiana dejectedly shrunk into Mei's arms.

Mei comforted her, "Don't be upset, Kiana, you're the protagonist."

"But compared to my big sister, I'm a complete failure as the female lead." Kiana was still depressed.

"Ah!" Little Knowledge suddenly remembered that Yaqing seemed to have promised her a role where she could beat up the strongest of Destiny and kick the First Herrscher, and she proudly puffed out her small chest.

Fu Hua looked at Little Knowledge in confusion, not understanding why she was suddenly smiling so happily.

[Kiana and the others continue to pursue Wendy, and the camera returns to the Hyperion, where Himeko and Theresa are communicating. Theresa easily tricked Durandal into revealing her location coordinates and leaked them to Anti-Entropy. "She's really easy to fool, as expected of a Valkyrie famous for being upright." Himeko sighed, but felt a little guilty. "But is it really okay to expose her location to the enemy? Durandal is at least our ally." "That nagging little girl isn't an ally! I suffered so much because of her back then." Theresa was deeply resentful and said indifferently, "Besides, we'll have to fight Anti-Entropy sooner or later, so let's have Durandal help us out~" Theresa had great confidence in Durandal's strength. Even if she exposed her location to Anti-Entropy, it didn't mean Anti-Entropy could hurt Durandal. After all, Durandal is a monster. Listening to Theresa's resentful tone, Himeko chuckled and asked, "Judging by your tone, you seem to resent her a lot."]

Inside a Destiny-owned cinema, Durandal, enjoying the gazes of all the Destiny employees, shifted uncomfortably.

One of the female employees sitting next to Durandal, with wavy orange-yellow hair, made no attempt to hide her gaze, especially the ahoge on her head, which was particularly eye-catching.

"Team Leader Durandal, what exactly did you do to Director Theresa?"

"I don't know, and Susannah... you're too close." Durandal pushed Susannah's pretty face away, blushing slightly.

But the boisterous Susannah didn't think her actions were too intimate.

"Susannah, this is all a fabricated plot." Sitting on the other side of Durandal, Li Sushang, who had her long, brownish-black hair tied up with an ancient hairpin and bangs covering her fair forehead, had an excellent figure, and even a turtleneck sweater couldn't hide her ample chest.

"Team Leader Sushang, I know, I'm just curious if characters based on real-life prototypes will use real-life events." Susannah stuck out her tongue.

"Director Theresa is my elder, I shouldn't have done anything to make her so resentful." Durandal carefully recalled, only remembering pulling Theresa to exercise together and supervising Theresa's work during President Otto's missions back at St. Freya Academy.

Durandal didn't think she had done anything to make Theresa feel overly resentful.

"Team Leader Durandal!" Susannah looked at Durandal with admiration.

Even though the President was her elder, the director in charge of the first sector was her aunt, the director in charge of the second sector was her father, and the director in charge of the third sector was her uncle, she still worked so hard.

Li Sushang thought carefully, Durandal was the real young lady.

Chapter 76: Himeko = Social Outcast?

[Kiana and the others finally found Wendy based on the location coordinates. Wendy was furious at Kiana and the others for their relentless pursuit. She was clearly the Herrscher of the End, yet she was being chased by three B-Rank Valkyries. "I already let you go just now, do you think you're so arrogant that you can defeat me?" Wendy floated in the air, staring at them coldly. Seeing that communication was impossible, Mei could only tell Wendy that Destiny headquarters had already dispatched an S-Rank Valkyrie and Anti-Entropy forces, hoping to persuade Wendy to return with them. But Wendy wasn't afraid at all. She had heard that S-Rank Valkyries possessed power comparable to Herrschers, and she wanted to fight an S-Rank Valkyrie to verify whether her power had already surpassed that of an S-Rank Valkyrie! "You're even more arrogant than me, if you have the guts, fight me first." Kiana stepped forward, pointing at Wendy and saying that she had just been careless, and if she got serious, defeating a Herrscher would be easy. Kiana didn't know the difference between a B-Rank Valkyrie and a Herrscher, but Wendy knew. She changed back to her original appearance, not wanting to fight Kiana or hurt Bronya. After issuing a warning, Wendy flew away again. Himeko's communication reconnected. In two minutes, S-Rank Valkyrie Durandal would arrive in New Zealand, and Anti-Entropy's airship was also approaching. "Damn it, is it too late!" Kiana's unwilling voice and a faint explosion sounded simultaneously. Theresa's communication suddenly interrupted. She told Kiana and the others not to worry, she had just broadcast Durandal's location on a public channel, and she also believed that Anti-Entropy's technology would certainly monitor her broadcast. After obtaining Durandal's location, Anti-Entropy would definitely choose to prioritize attacking the S-Rank Valkyrie.]

Inside Otto and Kallen's love nest.

Theresa, held in Kallen's arms, felt a little embarrassed. After all, deliberately leaking the location of her own teammate to the enemy was indeed not a decent thing to do.

But Otto seemed to have the opposite conclusion. He commented, "A very clever approach, using the enemy to buy time for oneself. This trick of diverting the trouble is indeed good. Seeing little Theresa so clever, I am very pleased."

Kallen held Theresa, moving a little further away from Otto. Precisely because of this, she didn't let Otto teach Theresa.

In the first row, Shub, one of the aunties who watched Durandal grow up, asked curiously, "Is little Bianka really that upright in reality?"

Rita, who used to be the vice-leader of the Immortal Blades squad, nodded in agreement, smiling and saying, "Bianka-sama is indeed so upright now, I really like people as upright as her."

Patrick sighed, "It has to be said, as expected of Director Cecilia's daughter, she perfectly inherited the director's personality."

"Are Cecilia-senpai and Bianka-sama the same?" Rita asked curiously.

Himeko also perked up her ears, she was also very curious about this genius girl who became a high-level executive of the Destiny Foundation at the age of twenty.

Even Kiana and the others in the back row paused their discussion.

When this was mentioned, Shub, Patrick, and Cheng Lixue couldn't help but stifle their laughter, only Salome could still speak, "This brings us to..."

[Theresa successfully deceived the S-Rank Valkyrie Durandal and even received an air kiss from Kiana. Although she bought some time, Kiana was still a little disappointed that she couldn't see the S-Rank Valkyrie. Theresa felt that if the current Kiana were to meet Durandal, there would only be one outcome: knowing that Kiana's theory exam scores were failing, Durandal would force her to read for at least 26 hours a day. Kiana shivered and immediately didn't want to see the S-Rank Valkyrie anymore. Hearing Theresa talk about that S-Rank Valkyrie so clearly, Kiana couldn't help but become curious about their relationship. "Uh... it can't be said that we're very close. When she first became an A-Rank Valkyrie, she once took commands from me." Kiana didn't see the cold sweat on Theresa's forehead and jokingly asked if their relationship was the kind of close superior-subordinate relationship? Hearing this, Theresa recalled the days when she worked with Durandal and couldn't help but feel a wave of lingering fear. For the extremely serious Durandal, a superior should be stern, full of dignity, and should be working day and night to handle unfinished business. As a result, Theresa would be lectured for a long time as long as she slacked off a little. Kiana was a little glad that her superior was Himeko, who just lazed around and waited for death. Himeko, who had been ignored by everyone, suddenly chimed in, indicating that she was still in the communication channel.]

"Lazing around and waiting for death? There's no need to put it that way," Himeko said helplessly.

"Himeko, I might agree if you drank a little less," Kiana said with her hands on her hips, "But now, besides teaching, you spend the rest of your time holed up in your dorm, and you're drunk every day. You're practically a social outcast."

"Hey, hey, hey, who's the teacher here?" Himeko couldn't refute and could only use her teacher status to suppress Kiana.

"Alright, Teacher Himeko, you have been a bit of a shut-in lately," Mei said fairly.

"But speaking of which, if Big Sis knew that I failed the last exam, would she really make me read for 26 hours a day like in the story?" Kiana imagined the scene and immediately felt that she might as well die.

"Want to try it? Little Kiana." Shigure Kira, who never minded a little excitement, took out her phone, opened Durandal's chat interface, turned her head, and said to Kiana.

"Sister Kira, please don't tell Big Sis!" Kiana clasped her hands together.

Sister Kira?

Hearing this title, Salome, Patrick, and Cheng Lixue all looked at Shigure Kira with disdain. Sister? More like an old aunt. Kiana was still in elementary school when you had already joined Destiny Group.

Still pretending to be young?!

"Kirara, have you ever thought about it? If Kiana calls you sister, you'll be a generation younger than Yaqing for no reason," Patrick exposed her.

Shigure Kira's smile froze.

[On the way to chase Wendy, Theresa's communication came again, notifying Kiana that the Anti-Entropy forces had been dealt with by Durandal, but now there was a new problem. Durandal had only told Theresa her location. "So, Headmaster, lying is wrong," Mei said. Theresa was already flustered. Once there was no reasonable explanation, Durandal, although she wouldn't report to headquarters, would definitely lecture Theresa for a whole day. "Well, it's none of my business~" Himeko's attitude of not caring made Theresa very angry. Mei thought of an excuse, that it must be an Anti-Entropy spy within the Destiny organization who leaked the location. But it was rejected by Theresa because it would cause internal chaos within Destiny. Bronya also thought of an excuse, that Anti-Entropy was the main cause of this Honkai, and their purpose was to snipe the S-Rank Valkyrie, so she was marked as soon as she appeared. Perhaps Bronya was still brooding over the last time she controlled, so she unhesitatingly put all the blame on Anti-Entropy. But Theresa still rejected it because the loophole in this excuse was too big. If the mission was to snipe the S-Rank Valkyrie, then the combat power of this Anti-Entropy force was seriously insufficient. Finally, Kiana came up with an excuse, which was also the most outrageous. The Anti-Entropy forces were here for sightseeing and unfortunately ran into Durandal. "Even a moron wouldn't believe your excuse!" Himeko mocked. But Theresa could only treat a dead horse as if it were still alive. After a few seconds, Theresa's incomparably surprised voice came from the other side of the communication, "She actually believed it! Could it be that overly upright people are actually the same as idiots?" Kiana was still happy, but soon realized something was wrong. "Wait, who are you calling an idiot!"]

"I should say, as expected of sisters," Bronya felt that her and Mei's excuses were more normal than Kiana's, but the Headmaster chose Kiana, and Durandal actually believed it.

"I really am connected to Big Sis's heart!" Kiana was very happy.

Bronya glanced at Kiana. The moron still hasn't realized it.

Chapter 77: The Herrscher of Wind, Knocked Down with One Punch!

"I feel like I don't know Big Sis in the story. I haven't said Durandal, I've always called her S-Rank Valkyrie," Kiana realized.

"Although it's taken from a real prototype, it doesn't necessarily directly apply to the real identity," Salome explained, "For example, Little Bianka's last name isn't Kaslana in the story, but is called Bianka Durandal Atagina."

Salome's script only went up to the end of Angel Rebuild, and Yaqing hadn't started writing the later scripts yet.

"Ah, why?"

Faced with Kiana's doubts, Salome just nodded towards the back, indicating that the person writing the script wasn't her, but the one in the back.

Seeing the front row all turn their heads to look at him, Yaqing showed an awkward but polite smile.

"Why are they all suddenly looking at me?" Yaqing wondered.

"Heh, how do you know they're looking at you?" Mobius said unhappily.

Yaqing, hearing himself being rebuffed, simply laughed and said, "I don't think anyone else could get them all to turn their heads at once. Or are you suggesting Prince Kevin could?"

"Pfft."

Hearing Yaqing bring up Kevin's embarrassing nickname again, the girls all burst out laughing in unison, except for Kevin, whose face darkened.

"As long as you don't bring up my embarrassing past, we're still friends, Demon King~" Kevin retorted, not willing to be outdone, and brought up Yaqing's own embarrassing history.

"Demon King, huh..." But to Kevin's surprise, Yaqing didn't seem embarrassed at all. Instead, he smiled and said, "Even if I am a Demon King, I'm a benevolent and kind one. But Kevin, haven't you realized it all along?"

"What?" Kevin was still confused, unable to process how Yaqing could say such chuuni words with such ease. He didn't react for a moment.

"I'm the Demon King, and you're the Prince," Yaqing said with a smile.

It was only then that Kevin understood.

Mobius, seeing the goosebumps on Yaqing's arms, understood. It turned out he wasn't as calm as he appeared.

[Kiana, Mei, and Bronya, on a grassy field full of white flowers, caught up with Wendy once again.

Wendy, facing the relentless trio, finally reached her breaking point and prepared to teach them a lesson.

The gentle Mei was still trying to persuade Wendy, believing that she was only temporarily corrupted by Honkai energy and had lost her true nature.

Before the battle began, Bronya stopped Kiana, who was about to attack, wanting to say a few more words to Wendy.
