This month, there were two pieces of news.
Good news: Ryn returned from the Sea of Quanta. Durandal confessed her feelings to Ryn. Kiana, who had lost control of her powers due to her worry for Ryn, was also placated...
Bad news: Durandal felt that emotions should be cultivated slowly, not settled with a single sentence, so she chose to defeat the Honkai first before considering romance.
And then Ryn went missing again, taking Kiana with him for a whole month...
But unlike his previous disappearance where he vanished off the face of the earth, this time Cortana was there to reassure everyone that Ryn and Kiana were fine, just taking a trip to relax.
And then...
Since the Far East was the territory of Schicksal's Far East Branch, St. Freya High School, and Nagazora City was the epicenter of the Third Honkai War, after the Great Honkai Eruption was resolved, the area naturally became St. Freya's training grounds.
Students from St. Freya High School discovered a giant Kukulkan coiled near the old site of Senba Academy. They reported the situation to Himeko, who in turn reported it to Theresa.
Theresa compared the image of Kukulkan with the latest information on the Dharma-Ending-class Honkai Beast uploaded by Schicksal and learned that this was Ryn's new Retinue.
But through Mei's confirmation, she learned that this was where Kiana and Ryn used to live...
And through satellite observation, she learned that Kukulkan had been sheltering the small house with its wings for over a month...
A furious Theresa stormed over to Himeko's house, grabbed Judah, who was playing games with Bronya, and dragged her away.
"Oath of Judah, flight vehicle mode!"
Judah scratched her head awkwardly, wanting to refuse, but seeing how angry Theresa was, she couldn't say much.
She had no choice but to transform back into her heavy cross form, and then Theresa grabbed her and threw her towards Nagazora City.
Judah then extended her chains to catch Theresa, who had jumped into the air, and pulled her onto her body.
And so Theresa flew to Nagazora City, riding Judah...
Kukulkan looked up at the meteor flying towards it from the distant sky, then glanced at the two still battling it out inside the house.
On one side was Ryn's grand-aunt, on the other was its jerk of a master. Kukulkan thought for three seconds, then went back to lying down.
Caught in the act, world exploding—what does it have to do with me? I'm just a cute, charming, sleepy Honkai Beast.
As soon as Theresa landed, she saw Kukulkan turn its head away from her and shift its body slightly, revealing a path just wide enough for Theresa to pass.
Veins bulged on Theresa's forehead, forming several tic marks.
But this wasn't the time to dwell on such things. Theresa gripped two golden Judah lances and walked towards the villa, step by step, radiating a towering inferno of rage.
Ryn and Kiana, who had been rendezvousing in the small house for a month and were now sleeping in each other's arms, opened their eyes simultaneously.
Kiana sat up, the thin blanket slipping off her body, revealing her infinite beauty.
Kiana looked around uneasily and whispered:
"Ryn, do you feel a faint killing intent?"
Ryn glanced at Kukulkan outside the window. It was still lying there sleeping, showing no signs of danger.
"Although I feel it too, Kukulkan isn't reacting... wait! Judah is approaching!"
Ryn swept Kiana up in his arms and opened a black hole to hide inside.
Three seconds after Ryn and Kiana left, *BANG*, Theresa kicked the door open and walked in.
Theresa's eyes were filled with nothing but raging fire, not a trace of any other emotion.
Outside the room, Theresa could already smell the sinful scent of hormones, but after entering, Theresa had to admit that she had underestimated Kiana and Ryn in certain aspects.
Theresa pinched her nose in disgust and tiptoed carefully around the room, searching for any trace of Ryn and Kiana.
"Hmph... Hmph..." Theresa breathed heavily through her nose, so angry she could barely breathe.
The thought of Kiana being subjected to Ryn's clutches here for a month made Theresa want to tear Ryn limb from limb.
"Oh... Cecilia, I've failed you! No, Kiana isn't... that's not right either, Siegfried has already accepted her as his daughter, and so have I..."
Theresa looked at the mess in the room, suppressed her anger, and searched carefully again, but still couldn't find the condoms she was looking for.
Theresa covered her face. It was over, it was all over.
"Waaah~ I've failed you, Cecilia..."
This painful, ugly world might as well be completely destroyed!
The chain lances in Theresa's hands followed her will, transforming into a super-massive war hammer.
"That damned bastard. According to those underground files, Kiana was only born in '06... Damn you, Ryn, I will beat you to a pulp."
Theresa leaped up in anger and smashed the entire villa into dust with one swing of her hammer.
As if she were smashing Ryn's body instead of the building, Theresa swung again and again, compressing the entire house into a tightly packed stone slab.
"Hmph... That bastard Ryn better not show his face in front of me, or this slab will be his fate. Hmph!"
As Theresa was leaving, she raised her hammer and gave the nearby Kukulkan a whack, sending it stumbling.
Kukulkan turned and looked at Theresa for a moment, then whipped its tail, sending Theresa flying several hundred meters away.
By the time an enraged Theresa ran back, Kukulkan had already flown away.
Theresa raged impotently on the spot, swinging her giant hammer around randomly. After venting for a while, she opened her communicator and sent a message to Himeko.
"Use the satellites to pinpoint Kukulkan's location, and also search for any gravitational anomalies worldwide. I want the latest data!
Also! Issue a wanted notice in Schicksal. A reward for any information on Ryn! If someone beats him to a pulp for me, I'll give them ten times the reward!"
At St. Freya High School, Himeko looked at the message from Theresa on her phone, then at Ryn and Kiana who had just run home and were now showering together in the bathroom.
Himeko knocked on the bathroom door and called out to Kiana and Ryn inside:
"Did you two do something bad again on your trip around the world? Why is Theresa so angry? She's even asking me to issue a bounty on you, Ryn, in Schicksal."
In the bathtub, Ryn and Kiana, who were washing each other's backs, looked at each other, both too embarrassed to know how to answer Himeko's question.
So the killing intent they felt earlier was Theresa's! Crap, they ran in such a hurry they forgot to clean up the scene...
Himeko sighed helplessly. It was a shame she was single; she probably couldn't relate to a lovey-dovey couple like Ryn and Kiana.
"Never mind, never mind, I'll go and calm Theresa down. You two lovebirds should exercise some self-control, and be sure to use protection!
We're all still soldiers on the front lines, it wouldn't be good to have a little one on the way."
Kiana shot Ryn a look. What protection? There was none at all!
Seeing that neither of them responded, Himeko roared angrily.
"Did you hear me?!"
"Yes!"
