"Then…"
Mentioning Homu, Kiana looked at Theresa.
If she remembered correctly, Theresa had quite a few Homu collectibles.
"Huh?! What are you trying to do?!"
Theresa was indeed a former S-rank Valkyrie. She instantly became alert, crossing her arms over her chest, and said very warily.
"You make it sound like I'm going to assault you… But Theresa, no, Aunt is the cutest and kindest person in the whole world!"
Kiana felt that to communicate normally with Bronya, a Homu was essential.
So, a small request from your niece can't be fulfilled?
I don't have Homu! Don't even think about it!
But facing Kiana's praise, Theresa remained unyielding; Homu was indeed a bottom line for her.
It looks like Kiana, you need some Homu dolls?
Just then, Himeko walked over. She was also concerned about the situation here and saw Theresa's immature behavior as she approached.
Still liking Homu at such an age… she really must have stopped developing.
Ah! Himeko sis! Do you have any?
Before the word 'Aunt' came out, Kiana had the will to survive and pulled it back.
Ah ah, speaking of that, I found some Homu dolls in the office. Kiana, go get them!
Himeko said indifferently, pointing the way.
Himeko! Those are the Homu dolls I just bought! I was planning to take them back for my collection! No! I should have hidden them!
Theresa, not being on a mission, lost some of her usual composure and appeared quite childish…
Though she never had much composure to begin with~
Hmm, Headmaster, perhaps we should look at the height difference between us. The place you hid them… is just a place you can't see~
Himeko shook her head helplessly, extending her hand to gesture the height difference between them.
…
Ah, don't rush over, I still have a lot of things to do here~! Headmaster~
Before Theresa could try to grab Kiana back, Himeko shoved a pile of documents into Theresa's hands.
She came here precisely for this.
Himeko!
Ah haha…
Poor Theresa, Mei thought.
However, this atmosphere was particularly interesting, but…
Homu… she also wanted a Homu that Kiana gave her.
She was a little jealous of Bronya…
And that guy even dared to say such things to Kiana. Couldn't she just accept Kiana's kindness properly!
Although a bit annoyed, since Kiana saved her, she decided to let it go.
Not long after, Kiana rushed back.
Kiana, weren't you in a lot of pain! Are you okay!
Huh? I'm fine! The medicine Theresa gave me helped a lot! Compared to that, here, Mei! This is the Homu doll I found!
Kiana naturally didn't forget to bring one for Mei.
Ah… thank you.
Mei had a lot to say, but in the end, it just turned into this one sentence.
And Theresa's! I specifically picked out the one that looked the most expensive!
Aunt Himeko doesn't need one.
…Using my things to win favor with me, that's really something, Kiana.
Theresa was busy with work here, but she still had time to say a few words.
But… she was speechless, but still accepted it, after all… Homu is innocent!
Alright, alright, Aunt! This is an investment for the future! Besides, Aunt, you are a mature, reliable, and the cutest person in the world! It's just a Homu, don't mind it!
In any case, Kiana felt that praising Theresa now would probably be enough to fool her.
And think about it, isn't Bronya amazing? Isn't it cheaper for you to recruit her?
Worst case, I'll pay you back when I have money!
Hmm, when she has money.
Really?
Theresa wasn't really bothered; at most, she was just a tiny bit bothered, after all, she was a mature, reliable, and dignified Headmaster.
Of course it's true! Then I'm going in!
Holding Homu, Kiana pushed open the door of the detention room. This, of course, was soundproof, so Bronya couldn't hear outside.
Um… Mei…
After Kiana went in, Theresa put down her adult dignity and wanted to get it back from Mei.
No!
Mei refused. This was given to her by Kiana, and she would definitely cherish it.
…
A world where only Theresa gets hurt was completed.
Someone always has to be persecuted, why can't it be Theresa?
Didn't you say 'original intention' before? In the second battle, I clearly felt your will to refuse, which is why I brought you back!
Kiana only explained after she felt they could communicate normally.
Homu… Idiot Kiana, do you intend to use this to torture me for Cocoilia's whereabouts?
Bronya's gaze rarely shifted, but when she saw Homu, her restless heart gradually calmed down, or rather, her attention was diverted.
It was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly changing its surface.
Homu… she really liked this.
But it was inconvenient to collect them in the Orphanage, which she always found a pity. Now, a delicate Homu doll was right in front of her…
Which Anti-Entropy executive could withstand such a test!
Ah, although I'm quite concerned about Cocoilia's whereabouts, compared to that, I'm more concerned about your problem.
After Kiana took out Homu, she felt Bronya's aggression had slightly weakened.
And she felt that Bronya herself didn't know where Cocoilia was; Cocoilia definitely wouldn't tell Bronya.
After all, being abandoned like that, you were a bit self-deprecating at first.
She was extremely aggressive from the start, and she was a captive; doing so usually only led to one outcome.
Kiana didn't think Bronya was in a normal state.
Bronya was not self-deprecating; Idiot Kiana was just assuming.
Bronya flatly denied it; she would not admit that she had lost control of her emotions.
Yes, yes, yes, then, since Cocoilia abandoned you and forcibly controlled you against your will, and you currently have nowhere else to go, why don't you… join us!
To be honest, Kiana felt a bit like a gangster recruiting people.
I don't know about others, but I will absolutely never abandon you!
…
Kiana… To be honest, Bronya still thought the other party was quite foolish, foolish enough to save her, their attacker.
Just because she was controlled, she traveled thousands of miles, and even brought her back because of one gesture. It was truly hard to understand Kiana's thought process.
But… honestly, it didn't feel bad.
