"...Forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything."
After seeing Lin Yu squeeze out a smile that was uglier than crying, Theresa immediately held her forehead and said helplessly.
"You can do whatever you want... Well, go and have a good rest."
"Tomorrow, we should leave here and return to the Far East Branch."
......
The next day. Destiny Headquarters
After resting for a day, Lin Yu came to the transport plane and saw Theresa and Kiana who were preparing to return to the Far East Branch together.
Of course, there were more than just these two people. In fact, Mei Raiden, Yuno, and Bronya Zaicek, who didn't dare to approach the crowd at this time, also appeared nearby.
When Mei Raiden saw Lin Yu at this moment, she almost smiled and pounced on him on the spot.
Just at the moment when she was about to act, Mei suddenly recalled what "she" had done.
Although it was not her intention, 'Raiden Mei' did try to hurt Lin Yu.
Lin Yu wanted to make her stronger, but she was taken over by another personality and was about to kill Lin Yu.
Even after hearing Otto's words of comfort, Mei still felt that she was too incompetent.
Lin Yu...He must be very disappointed in me too.
And in the final analysis, the relationship between Lin Yu and me...is just my wishful thinking.
Taking this action under the current circumstances would only make Lin Yu feel troubled.
On the other side, Lin Yu looked at Mei, whose face was calm, and then looked at the character introduction template that popped up on the system.
[Name: Raiden Mei]
[Identity: Herrscher of Thunder, temporarily sealed his power.]
[Current Favorability: 90 (You know)]
【Note: Be careful in everything. 】
No, Tong, please explain to me what is going on.
Her calm face coupled with the favorability of 90 and the warning of being cautious is a bit scary.
And now, Yuno who is beside Mei...she also wants to go back to Saint Freya with us?
[Otherwise, she is a living Herrscher, and a super-powerful pseudo-Herscher who can force Theresa to flee after just one minute of meeting her. Otto will definitely squeeze out all her usefulness.]
Makes sense...
After seeing Yuno and Raiden Mei, Theresa, who had been waiting for everyone to arrive at the scene, took the initiative to walk towards the two Herrscher girls.
Mei Raiden was fine, but Yuno, who was beside Mei, instantly revealed an emotion of guilt that was hard to conceal after seeing Theresa.
"Mei and Yuno, right?"
After walking in front of the two of them, Theresa said to them.
"This time, Grandpa told me that you two are willing to join our Tianming. So, on behalf of the Far East Branch, I would like to welcome you to join us."
"I originally wanted to say something like 'The training at St. Freya's Academy is very strict', but now it seems..."
Theresa noticed Yuno's expression and took another step forward, moving her body closer to Yuno.
"Yes, sorry!"
After seeing the girl whom she tried to kill after turning into a demon appear before her, Yuno's already very unstable emotions fluctuated greatly in an instant.
"I, I didn't mean it... No! I, I, I..."
"Okay, calm down."
Seeing Yuno's emotions beginning to fluctuate, Theresa walked over to Yuno's side—and discovered to her great embarrassment that she couldn't touch her shoulder.
"Once the body and mind are controlled by Houkai, even the kindest person will become a demon."
"It's not your fault that you lost to Honkai. Just work hard to become stronger in the future."
At this time, Theresa looked at Mei who remained calm beside her, and said to Yuno.
"I heard that you two are classmates in the same school, right? Look at Mei, she has good control over her emotions."
"But, I..."
After looking timidly at the calm Mei Raiden, Yuno swallowed back what she wanted to say.
I didn't feel this way before, but after standing next to Mei-senpai, I realized...
So horrible, so horrible, so horrible!
This kind of intimidating feeling, and this calm expression - if she had shown even one tenth of the momentum she has now, she wouldn't have been bullied by those scumbags to the point of becoming 'school-famous', right?
Mei-senpai, how did you become like this?
"As for you..."
Looking at Bronya who didn't dare to approach the crowd, Theresa said helplessly.
"Ms. Bronya Zajcek, it would be better if you come back to Saint Freya with me."
"Your identity is quite special. Leaving here with me is the best choice for you."
Although Theresa didn't make her words very clear, Bronya, who had a very high IQ, already understood what the elder meant.
In the previous two days, because Yulandel used the Black Abyss White Flower to heal Theresa, she also infused her power into other people, so Bronya's injuries were also healed.
Whether it was the damaged emotional circuit or her problematic legs, under the power of Heiyuan Baihua, they have been restored to the most perfect state.
But because of this, new problems arise.
If Bronya, whose emotional circuits were partially damaged, only realized that what she did was a bit wrong after Lin Yu revealed the truth that she didn't want to face.
Now that her emotions have returned to normal, Bronya almost collapsed.
Especially now, with Mei Raiden and Yuno, two victims of the 'Third Collapse', by her side.
Even though these two people had no idea of her identity, when Bronya thought about the fact that she was also involved in this extremely outrageous incident, she really felt that she had no face to face these two people at all.
"Ah, everyone seems to be here."
Kiana, who was originally standing there preparing to say hello to Mei, suddenly tensed up after hearing this voice.
This voice... could it be?!
Theresa on the other side also reacted in the same way after hearing the voice.
This sound...can't it be!!!
At this moment, the two white-haired creatures, big and small, looked towards the source of the sound at the same time.
Rita Rossweisse—it was indeed her!
In that direction, the Valkyrie named Rita Rossweisse was walking towards everyone with a smile.
Then, under the gaze of everyone, Rita walked to Lin Yu very naturally...
——Like an intimate lover, he gently embraced Lin Yu in his arms.
...
Chapter 82: We are all family members without blood ties, is the difference really that big?
The moment Rita gently hugged Lin Yu, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became wrong.
The girls at the scene were divided into Theresa and Yuno's "What happened?" group, Bronya's "This has nothing to do with me?" group, and Mei and Kiana's "This woman...!?" group.
The spectators were still enjoying the show, but at this moment, Kiana and Mei had clearly felt a sense of crisis.
On the other side, Rita, who was hugging Lin Yu, looked at Kiana with a smile, who had a look of shock and anger on her face.
Although she knew that Lin Yu's trip to the Far East was a foregone conclusion, Rita would not just let her brother be dragged into Otto's plan.
K423 needs to build strong enough bonds with others, and after arriving at St. Freya's College, she will meet many people.
Although Rita is willing to fight to fight the Honkai, it doesn't mean she has no selfish motives.
She couldn't stop Otto's plan, nor could she stop her brother from entering the battlefield and being drawn into the vortex of conspiracy.
At this point, she could only find an opportunity to let Lin Yu retreat to the second line as much as possible.
As for whether this would anger Bishop Otto...
In Rita's eyes, Otto would not go so far.
In Rita's hometown, it is not considered excessive for a sister to give her brother a gentle hug when she says goodbye.
As a British girl, if Rita was not worried that excessive behavior would lead to some bad consequences, she might not just come over to hug Lin Yu.
As for Lin Yu now, after being suddenly hugged by Rita, he did not start struggling immediately.
No matter how he denied it, at this moment he did feel the warmth from family from this sworn sister.
He could feel that Rita was indeed worried about him.
Then in this case...
[In this case, of course you should be bolder! ]
[Whether they are step-sisters and step-brothers, or husbands and wives, they are all family members without blood ties anyway. Is the difference really that big? GO! GO! GO! ]
I'm talking to you... I've finally had some quiet time to feel the warmth from my family. Could you please not let the atmosphere go in this direction at this time?
[Host, this system is very disappointed with you. Have you not yet realized that this system is reminding you that something bad will happen if you continue like this? ]
At this moment, Lin Yu saw two data bars pop up in the system.
In the notes of these two data bars, he saw the names of Kiana and Mei - No, why is the fluctuation in your favorability so big!
And mixed with [Ah, Lin Yu actually has a girlfriend], [Can my sister really be so close], [Sure enough, Lin Yu and I are not destined to be like that], [Senior, you idiot, why don’t you struggle a bit], [I have always been the only one who is wishful thinking], [Damn it, I really want to rush over - but why should I stop the brother and sister from hugging! ], are these kinds of resentments serious???
【Hey, guess. 】
So today is only the fourth day since I traveled through time.
Is this the favorability you can get on the fourth day? ? ? ?
【Hey, guess. 】
At this moment, Lin Yu struggled in Rita's arms for a while, and then whispered to Rita.
"Sister, don't worry, I'm not a child anymore."
"Really? But Yu, you still have seven months to go before you become an adult."
After inadvertently mentioning Lin Yu's birthday, Rita, who took the initiative to let go of Lin Yu, said with a little concern at this time.
"Sister is very worried that you continue to force yourself out there."
Damn it… Damn it!
Looking at Rita and Lin Yu, Kiana felt like her teeth were broken.
By talking about my senior's birthday at this time, am I telling me 'you don't know him at all' and 'the relationship between him and me is much deeper than yours'? !
This woman is so hateful!
"But now that I think about it, maybe I was worrying too much."
After gently stroking Lin Yu's hair, Rita looked at the boy in front of her with a loving look.
"I believe my Ayu will not let me down."
Mei, who had a dull look in her eyes at this moment, finally came to her senses and realized that Lin Yu and the Valkyrie in front of her were siblings.
But the question is...is this atmosphere, this behavior, this tone of voice between you two really what siblings should have???
Why do I feel that something is wrong?
After finishing what she had to do, Rita finally sighed helplessly.
"Okay, I've explained everything I need to explain. If I say more, you'll think I'm being long-winded."
