The next day, in Himeko's office.
"Himeko-sensei, you seem to be in a good mood today?" Mei looked at Himeko, who was humming a little tune, with a strange expression.
Generally speaking, when a female competitor displays such a happy attitude, it usually indicates that something is wrong, right?
Mei inexplicably thought of the romance novels she used to read.
"Hmm..." Hearing Mei's question, Himeko slightly suppressed her smile.
After all, as a teacher, she shouldn't discuss too many personal topics with students... well, especially about love.
Thinking about Tian Shi's surprised and excited expression yesterday, Himeko felt that she had regained her confidence as a woman.
Those clothes are a little embarrassing...
Hmm... but since I also have a girl's charm...
Himeko looked up and down at her very familiar St. Freya school uniform.
"Himeko-sensei, what are you doing?" Mei crossed her arms and took a step back cautiously.
"..." Seeing Mei's cautious expression, Himeko's lips twitched.
"I am your tutor, after all, is it necessary to be so cautious? Besides, my sexual orientation is perfectly normal"
"Mine is perfectly normal too!" Mei retorted.
"Well... alright, I exaggerated a little" Mei dropped her arms and sighed.
She looks quite mentally exhausted.
"Did Kiana torment you last night?" Himeko asked with interest.
"Torment... there is no need to use that word to describe her" Mei sighed.
"If I had to say, we could barely be considered friends?"
"The word 'barely' is quite subtle, tell me more about the foolish thing that girl did" Himeko was very curious.
"Hmm... she knocked on my door in the middle of the night with a workbook and asked me to tutor her?" Mei looked troubled.
"I was playing poker with Bronya and Heavy Bunny when a sudden knock startled me"
"..." Is there something strange mixed in here? What are you playing cards with? Does Heavy Bunny, that robot, know how to play cards?
Suppressing her urge to complain, Himeko continued to ask.
"And then? Did you teach her?"
"No, Bronya and I dragged her into a few rounds of poker... After all, Kiana doesn't seem like the scholarly type"
"Then you chose the right person, but she's not a bad girl either"
"Well... that's true, so I thought of treating her like a slightly annoying little sister and taking care of her"
My little sister is a bit annoying...
Tian Shi, who was chatting with Fu Hua, suddenly extracted the keyword.
Ah... Mei said the same thing to him in real life.
In a way... is Kiana a little pathetic? Has her personality developed a "loser" attribute?
"Then I'll leave her to you" Himeko yawned.
It's good to take care of her as a little sister.
"Mei, please be more understanding if something happens, Ah, and remember to make sure that girl does her homework"
"It sounds like a very difficult task" Bronya offered her critique from a gaming perspective.
Although this complaint is difficult to refute, it might even make people wonder if the difficulty level is too high.
"You can leave that idiot in Mei-neechan's care"
This paradise of cuddling with her brother... no, this hellish mission is better left in Bronya's hands!
Mei gave Bronya a gentle smile.
She hadn't forgotten that Bronya hadn't let her run away the day before.
"..." Apparently, Mei still had a bit of "big sister authority" in the orphanage, and Bronya turned her head slightly, looking a little guilty.
"Kiana has caused trouble for others again"
While Tian Shi's attention was distracted, Fu Hua also began to listen to what Mei was saying.
It's a bit strange that these daily office meetings happen every day.
On one side, Tian Shi and Fu Hua were chatting, while on the other side, Mei, Bronya, and Himeko were milling about.
The occurrence of this strange situation makes absolutely no sense.
However, things have been surprisingly smooth these past two days, as if no one was trying to provoke Fu Hua at all.
Well, perhaps this is largely because Fu Hua also seems to be very disconnected from worldly desires.
Although everyone felt that something was wrong, no one was the first to speak up.
"Master Tian, should I go back and keep Kiana in check?"
Fu Hua thought there was nothing wrong with disciples serving their masters.
However, Tian Shi's gaze was somewhat strange.
"Hua, are you really sure you can control Kiana?"
"..." Well, Fu Hua has to admit that this is a bit difficult.
"Kiana is not an unreasonable person" Fu Hua tried to save Kiana's image.
"But she is the type of person who lets things go in one ear and out the other" Tian Shi added casually.
Speechless.
Fu Hua sighed and stopped arguing.
Tian Shi then turned his gaze toward Mei.
"Leaving Kiana aside, Mei, have you adapted to Valkyrie life these last two days?"
"Mmm, I've gotten used to it, I feel like the daily training is no different from training with Sister Reanna... perhaps even less intense?" Mei has also come into contact with many things related to Valkyries these last two days.
"It's more relaxed than when I trained with Reanna before"
Let's take Honkai energy manipulation training as an example.
With Reanna she can only rest when her mental strength is at its limit, unless it is mealtime.
As for St. Freya, it's basically just a matter of passing a class.
"After all, Reanna is a genuine Valkyrie, and also a classic soldier"
Tian Shi was not surprised by Mei's feelings.
"Besides, St. Freya's academic system is quite relaxed..." To be honest, Bianca did not choose to come to St. Freya in the end because St. Freya's academic system was too lenient, and Bianca felt it was not suitable for her.
"Would you like to try to get a mission?"
"Hey! Mei's Valkyrie training is just beginning, how can you think of sending her on a mission so soon?" Himeko objected to Tian Shi's suggestion.
Although they are rivals in love in private, she is still their teacher in public.
"Himeko, are you an idiot?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Himeko was annoyed at being insulted.
"Why don't you take them on missions related to Anti-Entropy?" The doll floated and pointed at Mei.
"She is the little princess of the MEP Company, and her father... well, her father is digging potatoes"
Mei twitched the corner of her mouth.
"Could you please not mention this?"
Then Tian Shi pointed to Bronya.
"She is the older sister of the orphanage, and most of the Anti-Entropy higher-ups know her" Tian Shi then pointed to Himeko and himself.
"You are a member of the Anti-Entropy Valkyrie Squad"
"I am the current leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance"
Fu Hua: "..." Did I accidentally stumble into a thieves' den?
Fu Hua couldn't help but put her hand to her face.
Logically, Otto should have sent her to watch over the Far East, right? Is mixing them up wrong?
"Oh, and Fu Hua too" Tian Shi reflected for a moment and then pointed to Fu Hua.
"One of the key figures in the establishment of the Anti-Entropy"
Fu Hua: "???"
Even if you are my teacher, you cannot slander me like that!
"We've met at least once, haven't we?"
"Perhaps?" Fu Hua doesn't remember very clearly.
But if Master Tian said that, suppose it's true...?
Himeko, standing next to Hua, was completely speechless.
She suddenly realized that with her current configuration, maybe she could already get a free mech from Anti-Entropy, well, she is also Anti-Entropy personnel.
Although she knew it in her heart, she subconsciously forgot about it after staying at St. Freya for a long time.
"So... can we go look for Anti-Entropy and dismantle their mechs for fun?" Himeko's expression was strange.
"Is that okay?"
"As long as you remember to leave the pieces, it's fine, besides the mechs, you can also fight your captain and his team"
"Come on, these are just kids" Himeko must admit that she was tempted when Tian Shi said the words "lead the team to fight each other".
Himeko is quite enthusiastic about changing things up and beating her own captain and superiors.
But look at these little ones... well, Fu Hua, the veteran, doesn't count, the others are all novices.
If you want to defeat the senior team leaders, the path ahead is long and arduous...
"In that case, I will go to the director and submit my application when I have time"
While Tian Shi and Himeko were discussing, Mei also approached, ambushed Tian Shi from behind, hugged him tightly, took a deep breath, and buried her head in his arms.
Then it was just a matter of rubbing against each other.
"Phew... Brother's energy has recovered"
Mei finally raised her head after a while, showing a happy expression.
Is she some kind of brother-obsessed sister?
"By the way, can my brother possess animal dolls?"
This slightly antique-looking doll feels a little strange to hug.
Mei thought to herself, completely ignoring the cold glare from Bronya behind her.
Teacher Himeko and Class Supervisor Fu Hua are not worried, so why are you?
"Brother, hug me" Bronya stepped forward and held out her arm.
"Uhh" Himeko complained resentfully from the side.
Now that I think about it, I almost never hugged Tian Shi, let alone did that kind of action of lowering my head and burying my face in his body.
Himeko looked at Fu Hua.
Fu Hua looked at Bronya, who was also absorbing Tian Shi's essence, and a subtle look of attraction appeared on her face.
Fu Hua felt Himeko's gaze and looked up, their eyes meeting.
A companion? Like-minded people.
Although both were very interested, they felt somewhat burdened by doing such a thing.
After all, they are both the type of people who lack a girl's heart.
Damn it!
"Hua, do you want to try too?"
Tian Shi also saw the struggle on his student's face.
"I... uh..." Fu Hua pushed up her glasses, a little embarrassed; after all, she had always presented herself as a reliable disciple.
However... as a disciple, it's not a problem to act cute with a reliable master... right?
After much internal struggle, Fu Hua finally couldn't resist the temptation to hug and picked up Tian Shi.
However, compared to Mei and Bronya's frantic inhalation, Fu Hua was quite reserved and only rubbed against him.
What about me?
Himeko's eyes gradually filled with resentment.
"Himeko?" Tian Shi perceived Himeko's resentment.
"Well, then I'll do it reluctantly" Himeko coughed lightly and lifted Tian Shi.
Wait, wait, wait. I haven't even said anything and you're already forcing me to do this?
Although the meaning is similar...
"..." Tian Shi resisted the urge to give Himeko a "It's alright, go clean the bathroom" transition.
After all, I chose to have it all yesterday... so for the sake of the benefits, I will give Himeko a little face.
Tian Shi was absorbed by each of them, one by one.
Well, since it involves getting close to a beautiful girl, Tian Shi doesn't mind being taken advantage of.
It's okay to suffer a small loss; we are all family anyway.
"By the way, when will the black stockings, the maid outfit without underwear, and the lace cheongsam that I ordered yesterday arrive?"
Himeko casually scrolled through her phone, successfully stopping the group of people who were about to leave.
"That's too much!" Apart from Fu Hua, who was relatively calm, Mei and Bronya harbored some resentment.
"Himeko-sensei, did you just emphasize the words 'black stockings' and 'without underwear'?" Mei's smile was forced and insincere.
"Really?" Himeko seemed surprised.
"Sorry, I was talking too loudly to myself"
"Really? Then it's nothing... And speaking of that, my rope bra..."
"The teacher was wrong!" Himeko, who had initially been recognized for her charm, immediately admitted her mistake.
I almost forgot, this girl who looks like a Yamato Nadeshiko is playing some kind of sly trick.
Rope bondage and self-bondage were already terrifying enough before, but this time they've come with rope underwear?
Are you sure that rope-tied underwear, which doesn't cover anything, is something that should be here?
Himeko thought about it and decided that she shouldn't compare herself to the rope underwear... she really couldn't compete with that.
"That's truly reckless" Fu Hua sighed as she watched this scene.
Black stockings, maid outfits without underwear, rope lingerie... all kinds of random things.
Wait, I think I've worn a cheongsam before?
Fu Hua's mind recalled her own image in a cheongsam in a certain base.
So I have worn this kind of clothing before?
"Um... Master Tian, what do you think of me wearing a cheongsam...?"
"Great, as long as it's not a revealing outfit" Tian Shi answered instinctively.
Fu Hua's thighs can be summarized in one word: incredible! As long as the clothes don't emphasize the chest area, Fu Hua can dress very attractively.
Fu Hua: "..."
Although it was a compliment, I surprisingly didn't feel very happy.
But if that's the case, then I wore a cheongsam in front of Master Tian, right?
Then... can I try it again?
Fu Hua, thinking about it, couldn't help but rest her chin on her hand and ponder.
The only one who feels uncomfortable right now is Bronya.
While the cute type has its chances, being surrounded by two sexy types is not a good thing, right?
Bronya couldn't think of any clothes that suited her.
After all, she... still has a loli figure.
Should I ask the class monitor?
After all, the class monitor's chest was about the same size as mine.
Bronya looked at Fu Hua... well, Bronya could tell at a glance that Fu Hua also had a goal.
Oh no, things are starting to look bad.
I couldn't blindly imitate others, could I? Bronya at least had a proper understanding of herself.
Suddenly, Bronya thought of Seele: why couldn't I handle cute and sexy art styles like Seele did?
I am actually a few months older than Seele!
The hatred has inexplicably changed targets.
