As the future third Anti-Entropy Leader, and also working in St. Freya, the young man naturally needs to make some achievements of his own.

Humanity's united front against Anti-Honkai —this is the achievement of the next Anti-Entropy Leader.

"A very good idea."

Upon hearing this, Durandal nodded in agreement.

If this scene could really come to fruition, it would indeed be wonderful.

But... this is just an idea after all.

At the very least, she couldn't imagine Bishop Otto standing shoulder to shoulder with Welt White.

"I will do my best to make it a reality." Shihen said with a smile, Shi Hen tone extremely serious. "Whether it's becoming the Anti-Entropy Leader or a merger of the two organizations, I will do my best to make it a reality."

So, would you like to make a bet with me, Miss Durandal?

"If I truly become the Anti-Entropy Leader, you will facilitate this from within Schicksal itself, what do you say?"

As he spoke, Shi Hen extended a hand toward the girl.

At their first meeting, Durandal was simply Valkyrie powerful Schicksal to him.

But as the other party vouched for him with their reputation, a connection was established between the two.

Starting with this connection, he was able to gradually link Schicksal and Anti-Entropy.

"..."

Looking at the smiling young man in front of her, Durandal couldn't help but think of another person who had once said in front of her that he wanted to become the Anti-Entropy Leader.

What was Welt White thinking when he said those words?

As she pondered, Durandal still couldn't find an answer.

But at this moment, Durandal knew what she was thinking.

"Okay, if that day ever comes."

Durandal reached out and gave the other person a light high five, a smile appearing on her face.

In terms of strength, the gap between this young man and [Welt White] is indeed immeasurable, and he is also far from the First Herrscher recorded in the data.

However, when the other party said these words, Durandal did see some possibilities in them.

If the boy becomes the Anti-Entropy Leader, he'll definitely do a better job than that bastard, Welt White.

Thinking this, Durandal suddenly felt a tremor in her fingertips as if an electric current was flowing through her.

Looking down at the boy's strangely familiar fingers, Durandal couldn't help but ask, "Excuse me, is your hand injured?"

Even now, the boy's hands are still wrapped in bandages, with only his fingers showing.

"This is a secret of mine." Shi Hen shook his head. "However, if it's Miss Durandal, it wouldn't hurt to take a look."

As he spoke, Shi Hen unwrapped the bandage on his right hand, revealing a blood-red pattern on the back of his hand.

"Natural Stigmata?"

As her hand was revealed, the sense of familiarity vanished instantly, and a look of surprise appeared on Durandal's face.

"Yes, so please keep this a secret, Miss Durandal."

Shi Hen's tone became slightly serious.

After all, she was his savior, so even though he knew the importance of the Natural Stigmata, the boy was still willing to reveal the secret to Durandal.

There's nothing we can do; he's just such an incredibly honest person.

In fact, if you remove some strokes from the boy's Stigmata pattern and change the color to silver-white, you will get the white plum blossom that [Welt White] uses most often.

That was also the original form of the Stigmata that Shi Hen possessed.

As for now... there's an art form called body painting.

"That's natural."

Durandal nodded seriously.

Sure enough, this young man was completely different from that bastard Welt White, who talked nonsense all the time.

If the boy really defeats him, the expression on his face will definitely be quite interesting, right?

Looking at the boy's face, which appeared somewhat pale in the moonlight, Durandal's thoughts drifted away for a moment.

Chapter 219 Kiana and Her Birthday Gift

After sending Durandal back to her temporary residence in St. Freya, Shi Hen returned to Himeko's house alone. Not long after, he found a white-haired girl on the ground under a street lamp.

Shi Hen: "..."

Although the scene was strange, why did he feel that it didn't feel out of place at all when the object was white-haired girl?

"What is Miss Kiana doing?"

Smiling and shaking his head, Shi Hen asked softly.

"Mark!"

Upon seeing the boy, Kiana stood up abruptly, a thoughtful look clearly appearing in her eyes.

A faint voice echoed from the void:

Brain activation... Data reading in progress... Reading complete.

Three seconds later, the stiff expression on the girl's face turned into a bright smile, and she said, "The moonlight is so beautiful tonight, shall we go for a walk together?"

"..."

Shihen glanced at the moon, which was just covered by a dark cloud in the sky, and then looked at the few hidden figures on the balcony of Himeko's dormitory a few dozen meters away. Shi Hen nodded helplessly.

In an instant, the girl's smile became incredibly radiant, shining even brighter than the full moon.

Strolling through St. Freya at night, the cold winter wind howled past, but to the two of them it was no different from a spring breeze, only adding a touch of serene beauty to the surroundings.

Keeping pace with the boy, Kiana would occasionally leap lightly, her gaze sneaking towards the boy's profile beside her, a silly "hehehe" smile unconsciously appearing on her lips.

"... What is Miss Kiana doing?"

Watching the White-haired Girl flitting back and forth like a little bird, Shi Hen couldn't help but ask.

He felt that the white-haired girl was probably broken.

"I was just thinking, it seems like it's been a long time since we've walked like this."

Kiana explained in a lighthearted tone, still chuckling to herself.

"We just sneaked out to go fishing by climbing over the wall about two weeks ago."

Shi Hen corrected earnestly.

Even though he often urges the white-haired girl to study, he also occasionally tolerates the other's laziness and indulgence.

It's completely impossible to keep the Kaslana family constantly on edge and working hard.

From this perspective, Durandal is indeed unusually diligent.

Even these past few days in St. Freya, I've heard news of how diligently the other person is training.

Thanks to this strongest Valkyrie, St. Freya's average wake-up time has been pushed back by at least an hour.

If the other party could stay a little longer, perhaps St. Freya's Valkyrie Rank Exam results this year would be much better.

"Forehead..."

In Setsuna, Kiana's smile froze.

"However, quite a lot has indeed happened during this period."

His gaze fell on a corner where a streetlamp was broken and bushes were snapped, Shi Hen's tone was slightly wistful.

Those were traces left by Welt White's visit a few days ago.

The matter involves two Anti-Entropy Leader, and the academy has been busy investigating and collecting evidence, so the restoration of this place has naturally been postponed.

"Yes, that's right."

Kiana nodded rapidly, like a chick pecking at rice.

Nine Nether, the Xuanyuan Sword, immortals from myths and legends, and just a few days ago, two Anti-Entropy Leader suddenly appeared... These are things that even A-rank Valkyrie might not encounter, yet they, a group of people who haven't even obtained the official title of Valkyrie, have run into them.

Therefore, the error in her perception of time is definitely not her problem.

The problem isn't with her, it's with the world!

Kiana couldn't help but give herself a thumbs up for her cleverness.

Seeing the white-haired girl suddenly become well-behaved, Shi Hen shook his head and couldn't help but smile, asking, "Has the headmaster gone back?"

Without Himeko by her side, Theresa usually doesn't stay long.

Even though she looks like a child, Theresa is still over 30 years old... In short, the busy headmistress would not hang out with a group of teenagers.

"Auntie left not long after you left, saying she wanted to bring some cake for Himeko too."

Kiana answered.

"That's certainly how it should be."

Shi Hen smiled and nodded.

Although she wasn't there in person, Himeko still gave the white-haired girl a gift.

Well, a study guide and a shoujo manga.

The former reflects Himeko's sense of responsibility as a teacher, while the latter... Shi Hen always felt that the other party was up to something.

Incidentally, Mei and Bronya's gifts were all ornaments and decorations, but the Book of Cang Xuan was different... The other party gave a cookbook as thick as a dictionary, which was said to be a comprehensive work covering the cuisines of ancient and modern Shenzhou.

Shi Hen strongly suspects that the other party is targeting all of St. Freya's kitchens.

"Oh, right, Theresa also gave me this."

As if suddenly remembering something, Kiana lifted her skirt, revealing two smooth, rounded thighs and two brand-new gun holsters attached to them.

That was the gift Shi Hen gave to the girl this year.

Why are you putting on your holster now?

Looking away, Shi Hen couldn't help but sigh and rub his forehead.

Although the calfskin holster has a nice texture and was specially dyed black to match the White Comet Armor, you're wearing a skirt right now!

Because it was her birthday, Kiana wore a white dress with intricate lace ruffles, resembling an evening gown, making the girl look like a princess.

Of course, this refers to the posture of the white-haired girl when it is quiet and still.

But once it starts moving... have you ever seen a princess hiding a gun under her skirt?

In that instant, the boy even saw another glimpse of white.

Even though they often utter suggestive and lewd remarks, the Kaslana family members are always exceptionally innocent.

Like Siegfried, who was always drinking and partying and had no sense of propriety, yet could still go to great lengths for his family.

"Because this was a gift from you, Hen." Completely unaware that her actions were unusual, Kiana said frankly, while taking a pair of gold pistols from their holster and handing them to the boy. "Here, take a look at this."

As she spoke, Kiana's face beamed with a happy and proud smile, like a child showing off a new toy to a friend.

Upon receiving the pair of golden pistols, Shi Hen immediately understood, but a perfectly timed look of confusion appeared on his face. "What are these? They seem to be from a long time ago."

"Hmph! This is a gift that my dad and Theresa ordered when I was born!"

With a smug look on her face, Kiana pointed to a line of small print on the gun:

May the moonlight protect you, Kiana. Love, Siegfried, Cecilia, and Theresa.

Yes, without a doubt, these pistols are indeed the Moon God's Guardian.

Moreover, judging from the traces of time that can still be seen despite its careful maintenance, this should be an authentic product.

By handing the pair of pistols to Kiana, Theresa clearly acknowledged the girl's identity, even though Kiana knew there were suspicious aspects to this white-haired girl.

"Judging from Miss Kiana's expression, this must be a wonderful gift."

Shi Hen couldn't help but smile as his gaze fell on the girl's slightly upturned face, which looked like she was asking for praise.
