Higokumaru being able to absorb Honkai energy was something Himeko fully understood, but what worried her was... what if Higokumaru was controlled by her Herrscher personality again?
Would they have to fight Higokumaru again?
Fight her together with Sirin?
And if Higokumaru absorbed it, what would happen to Sirin? Although... Himeko felt that whether Sirin became a Herrscher or not did not really matter to her...
But the main quest was to make Herrscher Sirin her... well, daughter.
It was still unclear whether human Sirin counted...

"If you absorb the Honkai energy here, are you sure you won't lose control again?"
"Probably... not? I'm already a Herrscher and have command of Herrscher authority! Could I possibly become another Herrscher?"

"Don't make any rash moves yet. Let's go take a look..."
Himeko swept her gaze over the
