The Fire-Chasing Herrscher Who Destroyed the World

"Ahhh...let me go, I really can't do physical training with you anymore!"

The girl's cry for mercy did not bring any substantial results. If it had to change anything, it would be that the two girls dragging her forward became more violent in response to her shrill cries.

Because it’s really exciting!

"Don't give up, Guinevere! In the training plan you set before, the goal of losing another eight pounds in the last month is only a quarter away!"

"Yes, there are only the last few days left. If you relax, the goal will not be achieved. Besides, you only need to train with Bronya at the lowest level. This is not difficult for you. Well, this kind of difficult training volume can’t even produce muscle response in you.”

Bronya and Kiana each took one of Guinevere's arms and sandwiched her in the middle - to be precise, they lifted her entire short body off the ground and dragged her forward without forgetting you. I encouraged her with every word I said.

Oh, in fact, Guinevere is still taller than Bronya, but after inheriting the power of the Herrscher of Reason, especially extracting from it the "heavy equipment" of unknown origin but able to maintain quantum After "Little Rabbit", she also became accustomed to floating to make up for her lack of height.

The anti-entropy members who were coming and going on the passage evaded themselves to both sides after seeing the three people. What's more, they just heard Guinevere's cry for help from a distance - obviously, at this moment, What happened was not unfamiliar to others. Rather, it was a story that was repeated almost every day in the past few months.

"Ah ah... Although, when I think about it, I think it's not bad to lose six pounds, right? The last two pounds, it doesn't make a big difference whether I lose or not, ah, no, I mean... just let me Take a day off, take another day off!”

"But Bronya remembers that you took a rest just the day before yesterday."

“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu The water in my head when making a decision..."

"Really? But that's not what you said when you were praised by Mr. Walter in the training room a few days ago."

"It's not just Mr. Walter. When you asked my stinky dad for an autograph, didn't he also encourage you? That's not what you said at that time."

"Huh? Huh——"

At the mention of this, Guinevere's screams that originally belonged to the forced person suddenly stopped.

Her body twisted flexibly, and she instinctively used the counter-grabbing technique she had just learned from the two girls next to her not long ago. The small body hidden under the large uniform arrived as accurately and quickly as threads threading a needle. After specifying the position, even the careless Kiana didn't react, and Guinevere broke free.

To be fair, that girl's counter-grabbing skills were not up to par. Her strength was more than adequate compared to ordinary girls, but she couldn't compare with the Herrscher at all, and her body's flexibility also had a big problem.

And the reason why she was able to break free was because a certain idiot really didn't react. On the other side, Bronya did react, but she didn't use any force. She just blocked it symbolically, and then looked at the fallen grid. When Nivi was a child, her pair of dead fish eyes that usually made people embarrassed also had a look of approval that couldn't be concealed.

"Dangdang! How about it! In the past few months, although I have been thinking about avoiding training all the time, I still learned some skills after all!"

Guinevere pushed the frame up again. Her face was no longer so round, but her cheeks felt fleshy. The short hair that originally resembled a kappa's head was also grown a lot longer, and was tied into a ponytail like Kiana, but there was only one. When she put her hands on her hips, the uniform issued this year had formed a perfect hourglass from shoulders to hem - this change was the result of six months of training by the two Herrscher girls.

"So, Guinevere, are you going today?"

"Go! Of course!"

"Are you out of your mind?"

"If having water in your brain can lead to growth, then I would rather use my head as a hot pot every day!"

Bronya couldn't help it, covered her forehead and sighed.

Kiana, on the other hand, held her chin with two fingers, closed her eyes, and frowned, as if she was deep in thought.

However, no one can imagine what she is thinking at the moment——

"Human, what is hot pot?"

"Why do you use such a strange title?"

"After all, neither Kiana nor K423 nor Siren seem to be enough to fully describe you. Let's just call you human."

"You just think that shouting like this makes you look more like a 'queen'..."

Leaning lazily on the non-existent throne in the void, the corners of the Second Herrscher's mouth twitched slightly, but looking down at the girl at her feet, she could only try her best to maintain a majestic expression, throw away these unpleasant exchanges, and repeat road:

"So, what does hot pot taste like? I saw that kind of thing in your memory before, but at that time my consciousness couldn't synchronize with your senses."

"Even if you say so, I have no sense of taste now."

"Huh? What does that have to do with me? I can feel it? Well, you put a little too much sugar in your coffee this morning. It's so sweet!"

"?"

This morning, because I was a little depressed, my hands shook a little more when I put the candies, and I did put more candies. Although it doesn’t matter whether you add sugar or not, what if your sense of taste suddenly returns one day?

But now the words of the Second Herrscher shocked Kiana. The same body, the same consciousness that exists in this body, but the Second Herrscher can feel the taste that she cannot feel. Could it be that the Second Herrscher has unknowingly controlled more parts of her body? ?

Although she was an idiot, Kiana quickly dismissed the idea - she might not understand other people's psychology, but she somewhat understood the Second Herrscher's temperament. If she could really do this, she would never waste her time invading her sense of taste.

It was just this phenomenon that reminded Kiana of another incident.

The squad leader seemed to have said that the strengthening of her body by that music was indeed irreversible, but after that thing was broken, she could no longer activate that part of her body. Perhaps the relationship between him and the Herrscher of the Sky is the same now.

So is it because my consciousness cannot activate the Herrscher's nearly infinite Honkai adaptability...

Obviously Bronya can do it...

Dejection is inevitable, but unexpectedly, after Kiana realized this, the first thought that popped into her mind was not "find a way to get rid of the Second Herrscher as soon as possible", but "coffee every morning from now on" No added sugar, she will suffer to death", and "Every meal from now on will have to be dressed as a bottle of chili pepper" - wait, this doesn't work, stripping off the Conquest Stone did not reverse her loss of taste, but the pain returned. , so if she really did this, she would be burned to death.

As if unconsciously...

Kiana quickly cut off the thoughts in her heart that should not and should never occur.

Things in the past cannot be changed, but if she gives up the most basic stance of right and wrong because of this, Kiana doesn't think this is what [Kaslana] should do.

"Kiana? Kiana?"

"Is Kiana tired? After all, she has to get up two hours earlier than us every day to receive training from Lord Kevin."

"Idiot Kiana always seems to be in such a daze lately. She must have broken her mentality because she violated the ban and stayed up late to play games and was killed by Bronya randomly."

"Bronya!"

Kiana listened to the words of several people, then suddenly opened her eyes, and unexpectedly held Bronya's two drill bits.

Bronya's eyebrows trembled, and she spread her fingers to release the quantization of the heavy-armed rabbit. Kiana, the clinker, stopped this time and only shook her hand briefly before withdrawing her hand.

Then, Kiana turned her head to Xi'er who was covering her mouth and laughing softly.

"Xie'er is back."

"Well, Xi'er was in a hurry to go to the toilet just now. I met the squad leader on the way here. She said that she had something to discuss with Mr. Walter, so she wouldn't train with us."

Kiana bit her lip lightly and did not ask further questions.

No matter judging from the time of disappearance or Xi'er's state before leaving, it was not as simple as going to the toilet. In the past, she would have broken the casserole and asked to the end, but now she no longer has that thought.

"Okay, okay, if we delay it any longer, we won't have enough training time. Let's leave quickly."

Kiana smiled slightly and walked to the front of the team alone.

There was only one corner left to the training room assigned to them, but when she stepped across the crossing, Kiana saw the familiar fiery red figure at the door of the training room.

"Aunt Jizi!"

Just tapping the ground lightly with his toes, his body rushed to the person in a flying posture. However, at the moment when they were about to embrace, Kiana put her hands behind her back, leaned forward, and stopped abruptly.

She smiled the same silly smile as she did at St. Freya, and still said disturbing words:

"Aunt Jizi! You finally showed up! What have you been doing for the past six months? You don't have to teach us. I'm afraid you'll just sit in the dormitory every day and get drunk, right? Or have you failed in blind dates a few times? Eh. Oh, Jizi, I was wrong, I was really wrong!"

Jizi supported her waist with one hand, released Kiana's ears with the other, and gently rubbed her head. She pursed her lips tightly and tried to hold back her laughter, and her voice was tired and lazy:

"I made a lot of noise as soon as I came up, either calling people aunties, or asking them how many times they failed on blind dates. It's still so uneasy. Also, in your mind, I am the kind of person whose after-school life only involves drinking and blind dates. Older leftover girl? Also, why are you so sure that my blind date will fail? Come on, give me ten seconds to think about it, and I want to hear a satisfactory answer—"

His fingers hooked Kiana's thin chin, and Jizi laughed as she spoke.

But Kiana could clearly see that she was using that smile to cover up the sudden tears.

Why is this so? Kiana recalled the feeling of Himeko's fingertips touching her chin, and also touched it lightly.

It wasn't until her fingers hit a hard bone that she realized that compared to Guinevere, who had strictly followed the weight loss plan, she seemed to be no less thin.

"..."

Before she had time to think about it, the warm hand rubbed her head heavily again. At the same time, Bronya's voice sounded behind her:

"Himeko, don't listen to that idiot's nonsense. She clearly knows that you have been staying in San Francisco to recuperate in the past few months, and she probably just wants to see you angry. Uh-"

Jizi's figure stepped over Kiana, and her hand gently covered Bronya's head.

"Both of you have grown up. But you are still as rude as before. One of you calls me auntie, and the other just calls me by my name. Isn't it too sad? Can't you call me "teacher" properly? Do you want to listen?"

"Whose teacher would skip class and go back to the dormitory to drink!"

"Whose teacher would skip class and go back to the dormitory to drink!"

Himeko laughed again.

"You two are still the same as before...even talking back is so neat..."

It's a pity... there used to be a third voice with the same neatness.

Ji Zi sighed imperceptibly, but did not show the sadness on her face.

She smiled and cast her eyes on Xi'er expectantly.

"Teacher Jizi, long time no see."

Xi'er crossed her hands and clenched her fists on her chest, responding politely and tenderly - before she finished speaking, Ji Zi lovingly hugged her in her arms.

"Ah! As expected, Xi'er is the best! Can you two learn from me?"

After her words fell, she turned her gaze to the only stranger present:

"Hello! Are you Kiana's new friend?"

"Uh uh uh...I, I, I...report to Himeko-senpai! My name is Guinevere Alighieri Fernand Caballero Cere! That...former Anti-Entropy Headquarters mecha unit The 134th Mecha Long Range Weapon Operator of the 7th Squadron, MR-01 of the 3rd Battalion! Currently serving as the B07 Railgun Aimer of the Hyperion! Still... still in charge of information processing on the Hyperion Bridge. The center has replaced the clerk for the time being!”

Suddenly being stared at by such a gentle sister with such a strong aura, the most important thing is that Guinevere knew that the Jizi who was staring at her was the famous former ace of the Far East Branch, the Valkyrie of the Legendary Force of Destiny The sole survivor of a stormtrooper! She felt that there was only buzzing noise in her mind for a while, just like when she was praised privately by Mr. Walter before.

After a brief hesitation, she reported her long name (actually also simplified) along with her position as if she was reporting the name of a dish.

After the words fell, Jizi's warm palm finally fell on her head.

"You look like an honest child at first glance. Kiana and Bronya must often bully you, right? If there is such a thing, you must tell me."

[Hands... are really warm...]

Guinevere didn't even hear what Himeko was saying at first. She just held her head up like a kitten being petted, squinted her eyes, and smiled while enjoying Himeko's caress.

But when she reacted belatedly, she quickly waved her hands and denied:

"No, no, no! Seniors Kiana, Bronya, and Xi'er have all taken good care of me in the past six months. If it weren't for them, I wouldn't have...well, become what I am now..."

Kiana smiled slightly, which was rare and came from the heart.

But a voice from the side soon came:

"She's using honorifics again."

Having said that, Bronya no longer has the same dead fish eyes that have remained unchanged for thousands of years, but has a smile.

Unable to hold back, Kiana also became interested. She put her hands on her hips, tried her best to keep her voice thin, and repeated:

"She's using honorifics again."

"Ahhhhhh--don't laugh at me!!!"

The reunion after a long absence filled the air with a joyful atmosphere, as if even the ups and downs that had absorbed the light were dancing. So much so that for a while no one even remembered what their original intention was to come here.

Until Himeko straightened her face and clapped her hands gently, the students Kiana, Bronya and Xier instantly became quiet. Although Guinevere had only seen Himeko from a distance before, this was the first time for her to have a face-to-face contact. , but she doesn’t even have the ability to observe words and emotions.

The atmosphere was stagnant for a moment, but it was not cold. The floating dust that kept jumping in the air gradually fell back to the ground.

"Huh? Why did you suddenly become so serious?"

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

Ji Zi smiled "hehe" and waved her hands, her face became much more relaxed.

"It's just a joke, let's test your quick reaction ability!"

"Well……"

"boring."

"Teacher Himeko, don't make such a joke suddenly! But is there any task that we need Teacher Himeko to complete?"

"Ahem! Xi'er is still the most obedient."

Seeing that her lively behavior was only unanimously "condemned", Jizi could only clear her throat and cheer up again.

"Bronya, Xi'er, you should not be on combat readiness duty today. That...Miss Guinevere, you should be free too, right?"

The three of them nodded in unison, but Kiana frowned. She didn't know why Himeko didn't nod her.

"Okay, I will send a transfer application to Theresa later. There is a task that requires your help."

"What a mission!"

Just as Bronya and Xier were about to answer, Guinevere continued to ask energetically.

It wasn't until she felt Xi'er gently tugging on her sleeve that Guinevere reacted - she shouldn't have asked.

"It's not a mission that needs to be kept secret. Even in a few hours, the entire base will know about it."

Ji Zi scratched her head and told the truth without any care:

"That's it. Although I am recuperating in San Francisco, I have heard a lot about things here. The atmosphere is not very good - not only for Bronya and Kiana, but also for the old members of the Far East Branch and Anti-Entropy The conflicts between each other, as well as the conflicts between everyone and the Destiny prisoners of war, are all riddled with problems, right? So before I was discharged from the hospital, I sent an application to Theresa, hoping to organize a party, uh, called a dance. It doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter if it’s a trade fair, in short, everyone just performs, eats and drinks together, and has a good time.”

"Then?"

"Then, Theresa told me that Dr. Tesla, Dr. Einstein, and the pre-civilized Dr. Mei also had this intention, but I was the first one to apply, and I happened to be coming back, so Just leave the task of organizing the party to me - to put it simply, the money can be reimbursed and you can find it yourself, so don't I just think of my lovely student? "

"I understand Jizi, you are here to do hard labor for us."

Correct, to the point – love comes from Bronya.

"How about it? Anyway, your normal days are training, and you also need to relax occasionally. I will take you to Salt Lake City for shopping. Of course, don't underestimate the purchase. As Bronya said, it takes some effort. , It’s not that easy, it’s okay to treat it as a kind of exercise.”

"Great!"

Guinevere jumped on the spot.

Bronya nodded, "I understand."

But Xier was a little hesitant:

"Teacher Jizi, is it really okay to hold a large-scale party at this time... What if there happens to be an emergency or something..."

"Don't always think things are so bad!"

Ji Zi rubbed Xi'er's head wantonly.

"But you are right, so I still need to prepare an emergency response plan, but I won't bother you with this."

"So, you must..."

"There's nothing we can do, Xi'er."

Jizi's tone was full of helplessness:

"Soldiers without morale can't fight a war. If you don't want to solve the internal problems, and if the collapse really happens, what do you think the Salt Lake City base can do in its current state?"

"..."

After saying this, Jizi seemed to be escaping from something. She passed them and walked towards the exit of the base. She just waved to indicate that they should follow.

"let's go."

Bronya took Xier's hand and whispered.

Xi'er glanced at Kiana and said nothing in a tacit understanding.

"Then...then...Aunt Jizi, what about me? What about me?"

Kiana jumped up and waved, her expression full of confusion.

"That's right! Did Himeko-senpai forget to call Kiana just now?"

Both Xi'er and Bronya kept their heads down and did not express any opinions. Only Guinevere, who had not yet reacted, was defending her friend's injustice.

Ji Zi paused in her steps, and when she looked back, her face was a little embarrassed and full of apologies:

"I'm sorry Kiana, I... didn't get permission to take you out of the base."
