If I'm Not Myself, Then Who Am I? / Long Live the Queen, Echoing Without End! (Two-Part Chapter)
"Maybe this Einstein simply enjoyed life more."
Tesla told Theresa that, a few hours ago, a spacecraft had entered Helheim Laboratory at headquarters. As longtime members of Schicksal, they all knew exactly what that laboratory was used for.
Since the laboratory was surrounded by a massive defensive barrier that was difficult to breach by force, Theresa wanted to shut down the large Honkai reactor in the area and cut off the barrier's energy supply.
Himeko volunteered to stay behind.
Theresa worried that Himeko would be surrounded by Schicksal reinforcements.
Tesla was willing to leave some of her mechs behind to help Himeko, and she would remain as well to command them.
"Good luck, old friend," Theresa Apocalypse said.
"Major Himeko, please be careful!"
"Don't worry, Mei. You should be thinking about what we'll eat at the victory banquet after the battle," Himeko said, putting on a relaxed front to reassure Mei.
Himeko and Tesla set off.
"Dr. Tesla, if she's the same as in the movie, I'd really like to meet her," Himeko said.
"I think Dr. Tesla would also really like to meet Teacher Himeko." Bronya thought Tesla and Himeko were very alike—both homebodies, both lovers of alcohol.
In the front row, Patrick joked, "In the movie, my character setting is an Anti-Entropy undercover agent, but I feel like Yaqing is more like Anti-Entropy's mole within Schicksal. Schicksal has always been the villain in the movie, while Anti-Entropy always appears as the good guys."
Yaqing smiled. "That's right, I'm Anti-Entropy's undercover agent. I admit it. Go report me to the president."
Patrick rolled his eyes.
You're an undercover agent? Might as well say everyone in Schicksal is an undercover agent.
"Only an idiot would believe that."
Kiana poked Yaqing and whispered, "Stinky uncle, are you really an undercover agent?"
