Honkai Exposed, Starting with Iconic Elysian Realm Scenes

Bronya: "Speaking of which, I didn't see Idiot Kiana's name on the answer sheet."

Kiana: "Of course I'm not a spy. After all, Mei cooks so well, and Auntie Himeko and you all are so good to me. Even if I were a spy, I'd defect."

Perhaps the biggest key reason was that everyone knew Kiana's intelligence wasn't enough to be a spy.

Himeko Murata: "Didn't you all notice something strange?"

Theresa: "What is it?"

Himeko Murata: "There are only four answers. That means the spy is among us!"

Theresa: "!!!"

The Director looked around, glancing at Bronya, Raiden Mei, and Himeko Murata...

Good heavens, good heavens!

It's rare for me to trust you all so much, only to find the spy was right beside me!

Pardofelis: "Excuse me, but who is Fu Hua? Is she also a student or teacher at your St. Freya Academy?"

Elysia: "I have a feeling she's also a beautiful girl, and I feel a strange sense of familiarity with her."

Raiden Mei: "Please don't feel inexplicably familiar with strangers, Pink Fairy Miss. Fu Hua is our class monitor. If you're thinking of making a move on her, you should give up."

It's a joke. Who at St. Freya Academy doesn't know that Class Monitor Fu Hua is a straight arrow?

Your little tricks, Elysia, might work on Mei and Pardo, but they'll never be able to turn Fu Hua straight!

Theresa: "Could it be... Fu Hua is the spy from Anti-Entropy?"

Himeko Murata: "I don't think so. Fu Hua is such a good student, the model student of our class. How could she be a spy for Anti-Entropy?"

Teacher Himeko wouldn't suspect her students maliciously.

But the System only gave four answers, meaning one of the four was a spy sent by Anti-Entropy.

However, whether it was Mei, Bronya, or Himeko herself, they were all familiar companions who even chatted together in the chat group.

So it was even less likely to be a spy.

Theresa: "Good heavens, I never expected Fu Hua, with her honest appearance, to be a spy sent by Anti-Entropy! I'll expose her as soon as I get back!"

Raiden Mei: "Unbelievable."

Himeko Murata: "The more I think about it, the more terrifying it becomes."

Kiana: "What the heck, our class monitor is a spy?"

After eliminating all impossibilities, no matter how absurd the truth might be, it had to be the truth.

Although they lamented Fu Hua's betrayal, everyone could only accept this sad reality at the moment.

Bronya: "I choose D, Bronya is the spy from Anti-Entropy."

[Correct Answer.]

Theresa: "?!!!"

Chapter 21: Not a Herrscher's Nest

Including the Director, everyone turned their heads in unison, staring at Bronya, who had reported herself, with disbelief.

Good heavens, Bronya, you were hiding it so well.

We never expected you to be the spy!

Class Monitor Fu Hua, we're sorry, we all misunderstood you!

Theresa: "Bronya, if you confess truthfully now, there's still room for redemption. What did Anti-Entropy send you to do? Speak quickly! Don't force us to serve you with a large meal."

Himeko Murata: "Bronya, we believe you have no choice but to do this. Speak up, and we'll help you."

Teacher Himeko and the Director were playing good cop, bad cop, seemingly determined to extract all the secrets from Bronya's belly.

For a moment, Kiana pulled out the Staff of Homa, Mei took out the Sound of Destruction, Theresa readied Judgement, and Himeko also unsheathed a greatsword.

Four weapons were held at Bronya's neck. If she dared to make any suspicious move, she would be forcefully suppressed.

Kiana: "Bronya, you've hurt us so much. We never expected you to be this kind of Bronya."

Raiden Mei: "Bronya, tell us the truth, and everyone will give you justice. What evil plan did Anti-Entropy send you to carry out?"

Bronya: "Put down your weapons. Bronya thinks she can explain. Listen to Bronya's sophistry."

Damn it.

Is it fun to bully Duck Duck?

Because Duck Duck is weak, you can bully her as you please?

Thirty years east, thirty years west.

When I become a Herrscher someday, I'll get my revenge!

Elysia: "If explanations were useful, what would we need laws for? Pardo, how does the Fire Moth usually sentence spies we catch?"

Pardofelis: "Sentence? Why bother sentencing? The Fire Moth suggests you just shoot them, or have them torn apart by dogs."

Bronya: "..."

[Congratulations to Bronya for receiving a reward: Internal control chip removed, emotional system restored.]

A cool, comfortable sensation spread from her head. Bronya clutched her forehead, feeling an unprecedented sense of relief.

The chip in her mind was truly gone.

Elysia: "An internal control chip, how unexpected. It seems Miss Bronya also has a hidden past. I really want to know, I really want to know."

Pardofelis: "I don't know why, but I immediately thought of Sister Snake. I hope she didn't put anything in my head."

Eden: "Regarding Mobius, she might actually be capable of it... No, she's definitely experienced in doing such things."

Bronya: "It wasn't Mobius. It was placed in Bronya's head by Mother Cocolia, a tool to ensure Bronya would transmit information back."

But now that the chip was gone and her mind restored, she would no longer be controlled.

Himeko Murata and the others exchanged glances. Understanding that Bronya had no choice but to endure, they silently lowered their weapons.

Himeko Murata: "Bronya, we misunderstood you. It's all that Cocolia's fault."

Theresa: "Exactly! What kind of mother does that? Using her own daughter as a tool, it's too much!"

Bronya: "Mother Cocolia..."

Bronya wanted to defend Cocolia a little, but she didn't know how to express it.

After all, what she did was truly excessive.

But at Cocolia's orphanage, Cocolia had cared for homeless orphans and truly given them a mother's love.

Yet, in pursuit of power and status, she had treated her own daughter as an experimental subject and a tool.

It could only be said that Cocolia was too complex, making it impossible for Bronya to figure out which side of her was the real one.

Kiana: "Wait, look! Black Bronya!"

Everyone turned their attention to the screen and saw a drastically changed Bronya.

[On the screen, Kiana, Raiden Mei, and Bronya were gathered together when a command suddenly came, causing Bronya to change color.

Red patterns spread across her face, and her jet-black armor was filled with weapons, making her look terrifying.

"Bronya, my daughter, highest priority command: capture the Third Herrscher!"

Cocolia's order came, causing Bronya to lose control and slowly turn her weapons towards Mei.

"As you command, Mother."

With the help of the Titan mechs, Bronya used her overwhelming power to instantly knock Mei to the ground.

She piloted the black exoskeleton weapon, aiming its cannon at Mei and Kiana on the ground, slowly advancing.

"Mother, Raiden Mei has been captured, and there is one last target."

Bronya aimed her cannon at Kiana's head, then suddenly sensed the anomaly occurring around them.

Anti-Entropy's radar detected Schicksal forces approaching at high speed.

"Hmph, lucky for you. All units, return to base."

Under Cocolia's command, Bronya and the Anti-Entropy mechs took Mei away. When Himeko Murata arrived, only Kiana was left lying on the ground.]

Pardofelis: "Wait! Didn't that woman Cocolia want to capture a Herrscher? Why did she let Kiana go?"

Kiana: "Because I hadn't become a Herrscher yet. But daring to snatch Mei from me, Cocolia, you just wait."

Kiana clenched her fists, silently vowing in her heart.

This grudge, I'll remember!

Theresa: "So Anti-Entropy had its sights set on my students long ago, and it was Raiden Mei. They really don't put this Director in their eyes."

Pardofelis: "After all, Bronya hid among you for so long, and you didn't even realize she was a spy."

I don't know how Theresa managed to be the Director.

If it were the Fire Moth, let alone a spy, even a mouse sneaking in would end up on Mobius's operating table the next day.

Himeko Murata: "Now that you mention it, I suddenly remembered. Is it possible that besides Bronya, there are other Anti-Entropy spies?"

Raiden Mei: "I think so. After all, the Q&A just said we have quite a few spies in our academy."

Bronya: "Don't look at me. Bronya really doesn't know anything."

Bronya indicated that she was just a tool and had no idea which other important figure Anti-Entropy had sent to St. Freya.

Theresa: "Himeko, you must be overthinking it. I've managed St. Freya Academy for so long; if there were really that many spies, I would have discovered them long ago."

Himeko Murata: "That's true. Maybe the Q&A was exaggerating, and Bronya was the only spy."

Raiden Mei: "Exactly. It scared me so much I almost thought the leader of Anti-Entropy came to our academy as a teacher."

Theresa: "Hahaha, Mei, that's not a very funny joke."

What a joke.

Who is the leader of Anti-Entropy? That's Welt, the First Herrscher who participated in the Second Honkai.

If this big shot were to come to the Far East Branch, how could this small temple of hers, St. Freya Academy, possibly accommodate him?

And if another Herrscher were to appear, wouldn't they have too many Herrschers here already?

This is a Valkyrie Academy, not some Herrscher den.

Chapter 22: Which Match is Wrong?

Pardofelis: "Um, aren't you guys worried about Sister Mei at all? She was taken by a very vicious woman."

Pardofelis couldn't tell if it was an illusion, but she noticed that these people weren't worried about Mei being captured at all, their attention was entirely on the spy.

Bronya: "What's there to fear? Sister Mei lived until the Post-Honkai era."

Raiden Mei: "Pardofelis, calm down. You should know that I'm the one holding the script right now."

Mei indicated that she wasn't panicking at all.

Her original self was too cautious and didn't seize the script.

If the current Mei were there, let alone Cocolia capturing her, even if Finality herself came, she would give her a huge slap.

Pardofelis: "To be able to live until the Post-Honkai era really means you can do whatever you want."

Himeko Murata: "That's only one reason. After all, Bronya is a good child. I don't believe she would stand idly by if Mei were truly captured by Cocolia."

Elysia: "But wasn't she controlled by a chip?"

Bronya: "Bronya believes her feelings for Sister Mei are stronger than any mere chip."

The scene changed once more. Bronya immediately looked up and saw Mei, who was tied up, and Kiana, who had arrived.
