Chapter 178

"Not the lady who gave us the cookies."

"It seems not."

"Want some cookies? I've prepared lots!"

Aurora ran to the pile of gifts and took out several boxes of cookies. She stuffed one box into Bronya's arms, one into Seele's arms, one into each of the A-Lynn Sisters' arms, and one into Ann's arms. Then she ran back and picked up the cookie boxes, giving cookies to the boys and girls behind her.

"This is a little gift~ I'm Aurora, um, the class monitor of the Special Class, and I'll be your neighbor from now on..."

Because Aurora's identity was not suitable to be revealed too early, Freya arranged for her and a few friends to live in a large mansion, which happened to be next to the mansion where these children from the Cocolia Orphanage would be staying.

As for the class leader of the Special Class, it was originally decided that Mei would take on the role.

But... Aurora said she wanted to be the class monitor, so she became the class monitor.

The children at Cocolia Orphanage were stunned when they each received a box of premium cookies; they probably didn't expect Aurora to be so kind.

"Tasty!"

Rosalia, who was the first to open the box, took a bite of the cookie and immediately squinted her eyes, revealing a happy expression.

"He's a good person!"

"Thank you, miss!"

"Thank you Aurora."

"Thank you very much Aurora."

Although the other party stated that he was not the Acting Grand Bishop, nor the important figure they knew, their striking resemblance made them hesitant to act presumptuously.

"Thank you, Aurora." ×2

Bronya glared at the A-Lynn Sisters, who immediately opened the box and started eating cookies, then thanked Aurora with Seele.

Aurora shook her head to indicate that she was welcome, and then began distributing other gifts.

Cookies are just the first step; next come pretty little accessories, hair clips, plush toys, and so on.

Perhaps ten years from now they will prefer handbags and expensive jewelry, but right now they are easily attracted to these little things, especially the game consoles from the Far East, which are famous all over the world.

Bronya was a little bewildered by being given a handheld console.

It would be difficult for Aurora alone, so Mei and the others, along with the Anti-Entropy members, also joined in distributing the gifts.

After Aurora finished distributing the gifts she had prepared, each child at Cocolia Orphanage was carrying a huge pile of gift boxes.

A-Lynn Sisters, having tasted the donuts, looked at Aurora with adoration, as if they would immediately rush to hug her legs Aurora took them as her little sisters.

The other children also became repeating machines, constantly repeating the words "thank you" and "thank you".

This was the first time the children at Cocolia Orphanage had experienced such an enthusiastic outpouring.

Overwhelmed by the delicious food, fun activities, and beautiful sights, the children quickly accepted Aurora.

How could I not accept it? Aurora looks exactly like the Acting Grand Bishop, and in the conversation just now, she even called him "sister."

For the children in the orphanage, their brothers and sisters are the most special and important family members.

They naturally knew what the word "older sister" meant.

The bewildered children couldn't remember how they got on the bus or how they arrived at the headquarters of the Schicksal Anti-Entropy Alliance.

Throughout the journey Aurora kept communicating with them, even when there was nothing to talk about, she would find topics to chat about.

Whether it was Aurora's innate talent or not, she quickly learned a lot from the children in the orphanage thanks to her enthusiasm, and also gained some understanding of the personalities of her future classmates.

The five members selected for the Special Class are Bronya, Seele, Anne, and A-Lynn Sisters.

Among them, Seele has already awakened her Stigmata, while Annie and Bronya have extremely high Honkai Energy control, and the A-Lynn Sisters have extremely high Honkai Energy resistance. If they are equipped with the Type-B Stigmata, they are likely to have a four-star awakening rate.

Of course, Aurora doesn't measure them by their awakening rate.

Aurora wanted to be with their friends... for no particular reason, she just wanted friends.

After the bus arrived at the headquarters of the Schicksal Anti-Entropy Alliance, they began to transfer to other modes of transportation.

Wearing sunglasses, Aurora naturally didn't forget the task Tesla had assigned her, and began to introduce St. Freya Academy to them.

They arrived at the port of the St. Freya Academy aboard a transport ship, and then... the peaceful academy was shattered by a scream.

"... Is Rosalia alright?"

Having already exchanged names, Aurora naturally knew the name of the pink-haired girl lying in Liliya's arms.

"Rosalia ————!!"

"Ignore them, they're doing the same stupid thing again, ugh—"

Xing, who was a bit arrogant, vomited to her heart's content while lying down to the side. Seele quickly went over to pat her back.

"Xing, are you alright?"

"Get out of here, I'm fine, I don't need your concern..."

"Xing, are you alright?"

"Ugh, it's nothing..." Hearing Bronya's concern, Xing's cheeks flushed, and then she started vomiting again.

Although it was just seasickness, Rosalia pretended to be unconscious after vomiting and then said that the culprit was Anne. As a result, Liliya hugged her and screamed, which made Anne so angry that she wanted to kick her. As a result, Anne also vomited.

The main problem was that she accidentally stepped in vomit, and she was also feeling seasick.

Aurora was both amused and exasperated. The cleaning staff would naturally take care of the mess, and St. Freya Academy also installed automatic cleaning robots to clean the academy. These robots also had navigation functions to prevent students from getting lost.

Some girls even enjoy sitting on the cleaning robot and having it carry them around.

"Let's rest for a while, seasickness is really uncomfortable."

Although Aurora had never experienced seasickness before, seeing how uncomfortable they looked, she went over to help them rub their backs.

She didn't mind getting a little dirty; in fact, when Rosalia accidentally vomited, some of it landed on her as well.

But Aurora neither got angry nor pushed Rosalia away; instead, she helped her to the side to rest.

Of course, after Rosalia finished vomiting, she and her sister Liliya put on a funny performance that amused Aurora.

Aurora's warmth and gentleness easily melted the ice that had been built up in the hearts of the children in the orphanage.

Even Bronya and Annie started calling Aurora ".

Mei and Iserin, standing behind Aurora, looked conflicted, while Huohuo, munching on a donut, also looked conflicted...

(It only took two hours to flirt with her...)

(It's practically a mobile dating app! No target can escape its lock.)

(It's almost dinner time, but I really want to have one more donut.)

201. It will be hard to forget in the coming years.

The children at Cocolia Orphanage completed their registration and moved in, and received textbooks and school uniforms with Honkai Energy resistance at the teaching office.

Originally, an academic ability test was required, but since the children of Cocolia Orphanage were considered to be directly under the Acting Grand Bishop, the head of teaching at the St. Freya Academy exempted them from the test.

This batch of orphans totaled twenty people, five of whom received Special Class student IDs, while the other fifteen were assigned to regular classes.

Taking into account the special experiences of some of the children, Freya informed Laguna in advance. As the vice principal of the St. Freya Academy, Laguna had some decision-making authority. The head of teaching, who had received instructions in advance, arranged for the remaining fifteen children to be placed in the same class.

With only 20 to 30 students in a class, these 15 children naturally didn't have a spare class. The head of the teaching department prepared a separate classroom for them, and they would be assigned to this class when a new transfer student came in.

Although St. Freya Academy mainly admits female students, there are also a few boys among the children sent from Cocolia Orphanage. Moreover, they have undergone mercenary training and have a special physique with a certain degree of Honkai Energy resistance.

After Bronya returned to the dormitory with her textbooks and school uniform, Aurora taught them how to use the communicators and equipment inside.

Bronya quickly learned how to operate the communicator and then promptly sent a connection request to Cocolia's communicator.

Students at the St. Freya Academy have certain privileges, with students in the Special Class having slightly higher privileges.

However, the privileges of a student are naturally incomparable to those of a full-fledged Valkyrie.

Moreover, the students' identities are kept confidential, and their information is automatically locked after registration.

Freya has recently been modifying database permissions in an attempt to find information that Otto has hidden.

Although it wasn't a complete loss, she felt that Otto had likely completely deleted the information about the locations of several important secret laboratories, or at least not stored it in this database.

Since the Valkyrie ranking system has been modified, Freya naturally reset the permissions of the Schicksal Database.

However, Aurora still has very high privileges.

She took out her student ID and swiped it on the scanner next to the communicator, which then forcibly connected to the authorized communicator.

"Ah, wait... Kiana, eh? Bronya? And this is..."

Cocolia appeared on the communication screen as she wrapped a bath towel around herself.

She saw Bronya's small face, and also a girl who looked exactly like the Acting Grand Bishop.

"This is Aurora, not Lady Aurora, she's... the agent..."

"Bronya, don't call me 'Madam,' call me Aurora." Aurora poked Bronya's cheek and turned to Cocolia in the image, speaking politely. "Good evening, Aunt Cocolia, I am Aurora, the Acting Grand Bishop's sister."

As Anti-Entropy Executor, Cocolia naturally knew some of the inside information about Aurora's identity, but she would not spread it around.

As a collaborator of the World Serpent, she recently received a call from the acting leader of the World Serpent, although the other party was wearing a mask when they met.

But after exchanging a few words, he took off his mask and revealed his true face to Cocolia.

Upon seeing the girl who looked exactly like the Acting Grand Bishop, Cocolia understood that some things had to be taken to the grave.

Although she was also a little confused, it seemed that the three major organizations had been taken over by a girl who looked exactly like the Acting Grand Bishop. Cocolia didn't know if there was any point in her being a multi-faceted spy.

But Cocolia went along with what the other person meant.

"Aurora, hello. Please take good care of Bronya and the others."

The future Alliance Leader of Anti-Entropy is the sister of the Acting Grand Bishop of Schicksal, and the acting leader of World Serpent should also be their sister.

Cocolia was even afraid that she had accidentally uncovered some earth-shattering conspiracy.

However, the three of them have very different temperaments.

The acting leader of the World Serpent has a cold demeanor, the Acting Grand Bishop of Schicksal has a strong demeanor, while the future Alliance Leader Anti-Entropy has a healing demeanor, with a cute little face and big, bright eyes that evoke maternal instincts.

"Okay, Aunt Cocolia, I'll take care of Bronya and the others. I'll take them to the cafeteria for lunch later."

Aurora patted her flat chest, giving me a look that said, "I've got your back."

She hugged Bronya, who was standing beside her, and rubbed her cheek against Bronya's slightly flushed face to show the friendship she had formed with Bronya.

"..."

This surprised Cocolia.

I didn't expect Bronya to become close to people so quickly.

Cocolia, wrapped in a bath towel, pulled up her wet hair. She had a meeting scheduled for later, but it looked like it would be delayed.

Despite the time difference of several hours, she has been incredibly busy lately, making every second count.

Even washing my body is something I have to find time for.

After exchanging a few words with Bronya, she spoke with Seele, Anne, the A-Lynn Sisters, and the other children at the orphanage.

"You must listen carefully to Aurora's words."

At the end of the communication, Cocolia did not forget to tell them that they must cling to this powerful figure.

The other party is, after all, the future Alliance Leader of Anti-Entropy, and also the sister of the acting Acting Grand Bishop of Schicksal. Knowing about the Valkyrie reform, Cocolia is certain that St. Freya Academy will definitely be divided into factions in the future. She wants to take advantage of this opportunity to cling to a powerful figure and avoid her child getting involved in the infighting among the Aristocratic Faction or the struggle between the Aristocratic Faction and Commoner Faction.

"Yes..."

"Knew."

"Wordy."

"Okay, Mom~"

With such a powerful figure protecting her, Cocolia felt at ease.

As a result, the bath towel almost burst open due to her ample bosom, and Aurora's eyes widened in surprise.

Even though it wasn't the first time I'd seen the children at Cocolia Orphanage, I was still amazed.

"Wow, it's huge!"
