Mei in Schicksal

After all, they had finally found a suitable Anti-Entropy Leader, and if they were to lose that person... then the two major factions of Anti-Entropy would really have to break up.

As she spoke, the white-haired girl glanced around and then looked at the blonde girl next to her, saying in a slightly apologetic voice, "Peggy, did I disturb you?"

Peggy: "..."

She really wanted to give a straightforward reply that she did.

If no one else is around, even if Shi Hen's gaze doesn't fall on her, she can still enjoy her time alone with him and admire the handsome face of the young man that she can never tire of looking at.

But now...

With a gentle smile, Peggy said in an incredibly accommodating tone, "Of course not, Miss Kiana, please feel free to do as you please."

"Okay, I'll be done soon too. Wait for me here. There are drinks in the fridge."

Shi Hen smiled slightly.

"OK."

With a smile, Kiana obediently sat down on the sofa, her gaze falling on the boy without hesitation.

Looking up and meeting the girl's gaze, Shi Hen saw the quiet and unassuming Kiana and couldn't help but shake his head and smile.

If it were before, this white-haired girl would have been clamoring to come closer to him long ago.

Kiana, who had been watching the boy closely and noticed his gaze, also smiled, her bright smile as radiant as the most brilliant sunshine of spring.

Peggy, who was secretly watching the interaction between the two, suddenly felt inexplicably superfluous.

This is clearly her and the boy's office!

Without keeping the girl waiting long, Shi Hen quickly finished reviewing the third document of the day, then stood up to tidy his desk and said, "Peggy, I'll leave the rest to you."

Unlike him, Peggy, who is physically pineapple-like, naturally has to work overtime every day.

The new power structure has just been established, and there are still a lot of unresolved issues from the Welt White era... It is foreseeable that Peggy will be able to stay busy for a long time.

This is a blessing that belongs exclusively to the other person.

"Yes, Hen, you need to take good care of yourself."

She spoke softly, and despite her deep resentment towards the boy's hands-off management, Peggy still wore an incredibly gentle smile.

"You should also be careful not to work too late."

Shi Hen responded with a smile.

"..."

Upon hearing this, Peggy's lips twitched involuntarily.

Didn't this guy ever think about the root cause of why she had to work overtime every day?

"Hmm..."

On the other side, Kiana's gaze lingered on Peggy and the boy several times, a hint of doubt in her eyes.

She sensed that the two of them held secrets she was unaware of.

"Let's go, Kiana."

Shi Hen said with a smile.

Immediately casting aside any distracting thoughts, the white-haired girl smiled and followed the boy.

Leaving Peggy to work overtime alone, Shi Hen took Kiana out of the office, and the bustling scene in the administrative area immediately came into view.

Well, for the first time in over a decade since Welt Yang disappeared, Anti-Entropy has a leader who comes to work every day. Many things are in need of rebuilding, so Peggy is certainly not working overtime alone.

In the administrative district, when the boy appeared, everyone looked at him with gentle eyes, and no one blamed him for leaving early.

In recent promotional materials about Shi Hen, his current physical condition has been mentioned, so the people of Anti-Entropy admire the strong sense of responsibility of the young man who did not leave the front line despite being seriously injured.

Sensing the way everyone treated the boy, and realizing that she herself had benefited from it, Kiana's face immediately lit up with a bright smile, "Hen is indeed very popular. He will definitely become an excellent Anti-Entropy Leader in the future."

"I'm still far behind Mr. Welt."

"Moreover, "Shi Hen said modestly, his tone filled with deep emotion, "Everything we have now is the result of everyone's joint efforts. What I have done is far from enough."

"That's true, but Hen, you can't take on everything yourself."

Kiana said seriously, "If you get too tired, everyone will worry."

"..."

Hearing this, and looking at the solemn-looking white-haired girl in front of him, Shi Hen was slightly taken aback.

"Mark?"

Noticing the boy's change, Kiana blinked and asked.

"This doesn't even sound like something Kiana would say."

Shi Hen shook his head and smiled.

"So what do you think I should say?"

In the spacious corridor that opened up after leaving the administrative district, Kiana leaned forward slightly with her hands behind her back, her blue eyes looking at the boy with a hint of playfulness that belonged only to a girl her age.

"Is it something like... you should rely on me as much as you want?"

Mimicking the tone of the white-haired girl, Shi Hen's eyes were full of smiles.

"Pfft~"

Kiana couldn't help but burst out laughing, muttering under her breath, "How could I possibly talk like that?"

But all she received was the boy's loving gaze.

"Oh, so that's what you think of me!"

Kiana's cheeks immediately puffed up, and after a pause, she gently punched the boy's chest.

Bang!

Shi Hen his chest and revealing a pained expression.

"Hmph! Let's see if you dare to offend me again!"

With a flick of her head, Kiana's ponytail swayed, releasing a wave of intoxicating fragrance.

"With someone as powerful as Miss Kiana, how could I possibly dare to offend her?"

Shi Hen shook his head and said with a light laugh.

"Hmm..."

Hearing this, even though she knew there was a joking element to it, Kiana's cheeks still flushed slightly. "Um... although we're all the same in these kinds of things, if you need any help, just let me know."

As she spoke, the girl's gaze shifted away, avoiding looking at the boy beside her, and her voice quickly became so faint as to be almost inaudible.

"Forehead..."

Shihen couldn't help but glance at the white-haired girl again, Shi Hen stroked his chin and said, "Don't worry, if it really comes to that, I won't hold back with you, Kiana."

"..."

Hearing the boy's voice, which was still the same as usual, Kiana's face, still slightly flushed, froze.

Kiana's gaze returned to the boy, meeting his eyes. She blinked, a hint of resentment welling up in her eyes.

She felt that she and the boy were not on the same wavelength.

"Hmm..."

Sensing the resentment in the white-haired girl's eyes, Shi Hen blinked in confusion before finally speaking, "By the way, I just received a message related to Mei."

"Is she the one who became the new S-rank Valkyrie of Schicksal along with the Miss Miko?"

Kiana quickly realized what was happening, and a slight sadness appeared on her face.

Well, now that the relationship between Schicksal and World Serpent has been made public, Mei and Yae Sakura can naturally and openly hold multiple positions.

After all, Schicksal always requires three S-rank Valkyrie.

This was also so that he could more legitimately take over the Schicksal in the future.

"At least for now, World Serpent still needs Mei, so she should be safe for the time being."

Knowing how the white-haired girl was feeling, Shi Hen gently comforted it.

"I wonder what's going on over there..."

Kiana pursed her lips, a clear sense of unwillingness flashing in her eyes.

If she had been any stronger back in Changkong City, then...

Looking at the boy's face so close to hers, Kiana's resolve began to waver.

"If I have the chance, I will ask Miss Durandal about it."

Shi Hen said softly.

Having established formal contact with Durandal through his role as the vice leader of the Anti-Entropy, he was able to obtain some assistance from this strongest Valkyrie.

As he thought about it, Shi Hen felt a sense of helplessness.

Even though he didn't restrict Mei's freedom, she seemed very keen on her undercover persona, constantly trying to gather information within World Serpent, without showing any intention of contacting Anti-Entropy.

This script is obviously wrong, okay?

"Hmm..."

Upon hearing the boy mention Durandal, Kiana's cheeks immediately puffed up again.

Even though she knew that Durandal's role was irreplaceable, she still couldn't help but get angry.

Kiana's gaze drifted to the corner of the wall and she spotted a soft green hue, a hint of doubt appearing in her eyes.

How did Wendy end up here?

Moreover, it seems like they're hiding from something?

Without time to think, Kiana thought of the Desire Gem within her and the experiences of training with the girl recently. She immediately smiled and waved to the girl, "Wendy! Have you had dinner yet? Want to join us?"

"Ah?"

Hearing the white-haired girl's call, Wendy was startled, and an incredulous look of ecstatic joy appeared on her face. "I... can I really do it?"

She felt the surprise had come a little too suddenly.

"Forehead..."

Unable to understand why the green-haired girl in front of him was experiencing such a strong emotional fluctuation, Shi Hen and then said, "Come on, Wendy."

Kiana and I were just about to go to the cafeteria too.

As he spoke, Shi Hen smiled and looked at the girl with gentle eyes.

Now that the Schicksal on Schicksal's side is settled, it's time to put Wendy's re-heralding on the agenda.

Only...

Seeing the girl's joyful expression, Shi Hen's eyes suddenly flashed.

Wendy still needs to hone her skills a bit more before she can become Herrscher again.

Hmm, I'll capture Theresa another day and create a master-disciple bond for this future Herrscher of Wind.

He swore in the name of the Behind-the-Scenes Boss that he would give the girl an incredibly bright future.

Chapter 100 Mei in Schicksal

Stepping out of the World Serpent's warship and onto the land of the Schicksal Floating Island once more, Mei looked at the peaceful yet bustling scene within the airport and couldn't help but feel a sense of déjà vu, as if she had returned to another world.

Although it had only been four months since her last visit here.

But when she thought about what had happened here, the girl still felt a tightness in her chest, as if something was stuck there.

"Mei, please come this way."

A gentle voice suddenly rang out.

Looking in the direction of the sound, Mei saw a gray- golden-haired Valkyrie dressed in an outfit that resembled a maid's uniform. She was undoubtedly the vice-captain of the elite Valkyrie squad Blade of Immortality... no, Rita was now the official captain of the Blade of Immortality.

Yes, after returning to Schicksal, Durandal did not continue to serve as the captain of the Blade of Immortality, but instead chose to promote Rita, who had lost her S-rank Valkyrie title, to the new captaincy.
