After Mei and Rita finished preparing dinner.
When Mei came out to call everyone, Elysia was already asleep on Himeko's lap.
Seeing Mei come out, Himeko-jie motioned for Mei to be quiet.
Mei then slowly walked over to Himeko's side, looking at the sleeping Elysia, "Himeko-jie, is Elysia asleep?"
"Mm." Himeko-jie nodded, then pointed to the two empty soda cans on the table.
"Dinner is ready, should we wake Elysia up?" Mei sat next to Himeko-jie, looking at the sleeping Elysia.
When Elysia was normally asleep, she still looked very cold and aloof; after all, with her hair color, even if her face looked gentle, one would still feel that Elysia was very distant.
But now, Elysia's flushed cheeks made her appear even more adorable, diluting that sense of aloofness.
Mei took out her phone and snapped a picture of Elysia.
"Let's wait a bit. You go call Kiana and Bronya first. Theresa should be back soon. We'll call Elysia last," Himeko-jie said, shaking her head.
"Okay, then let Elysia sleep a little longer." Mei stood up and walked upstairs.
After a while, Kiana quietly came downstairs, cautiously peeking her head into the living room.
After being nudged by Bronya, Kiana, who had been about to say something, restrained herself, quietly entered the living room, and then directly squatted beside Himeko-jie, looking at the sleeping Elysia.
Mei, meanwhile, walked into the kitchen and, with Rita, brought out the cooked meal.
By the time both of them had placed the food on the dining table, Theresa also opened the door and returned.
Theresa, who had just entered the house, directly jogged to the living room, "Himeko-jie, I'm back."
Then Theresa was directly stared at by three pairs of eyes in the living room.
Theresa, who had originally intended to run straight over, froze in place, "W-what..."
Before she could finish, Theresa saw all three of them making a shushing gesture.
But it was still a little late.
Elysia slowly opened her eyes. She only felt a terrible headache now.
"Ah, Elysia is awake," Kiana said, looking at Theresa.
"Did, did I disturb Elysia's sleep?" Theresa walked over. She hadn't expected Elysia to be asleep in the living room.
Looking at Elysia rubbing her forehead, Himeko-jie helped Elysia sit up.
"Was I asleep?" Elysia supported her forehead, still very dizzy.
"Yes, you slept for a while. How do you feel?" Himeko-jie said.
"My head is a bit dizzy, and I still want to sleep."
"Let's eat first. Dinner is ready. You can go to sleep after eating."
"Okay." Elysia tried to stand up, but stumbled and sat back down. Himeko-jie had to hold Elysia to prevent her from falling.
She really hadn't expected Elysia to be so bad at holding her liquor.
At the dinner table, Elysia ate her meal intermittently.
But she had no appetite, yet habit told her not to waste food.
Finally, Elysia looked at her portion of dinner; she really couldn't eat any more.
"Sorry, I'm going up to rest first." Elysia apologized and slowly stood up.
Bronya walked directly over to support Elysia and helped her back to her own room.
After tucking Elysia in, Bronya went back to continue eating.
"What's wrong with Elysia? Is she sick?" Theresa looked at Himeko-jie.
"Nothing much. She drank my beer." Himeko-jie sighed.
"No wonder you weren't drinking beer today." Theresa said, looking at the empty spot beside Himeko-jie's hand, "But why would Elysia actively drink beer? Did something happen?"
"Because I wasn't in a very good mood when I came back tonight, I just grabbed the beer, and then Elysia snatched my beer away," Himeko-jie said with a wry smile.
After all, she was the teacher, yet she had reached a point where she needed her student to comfort her.
"Elysia is very sensitive in that regard," Theresa said.
Among the six people currently eating, except for Rita, the remaining five all knew how gentle Elysia was towards others.
It was always her who comforted others.
"Oh, by the way, Himeko-jie, do you still remember that unknown Honkai energy source in Nagazora City?" Theresa suddenly spoke.
"I remember, why?" Himeko-jie looked at Theresa, wondering why she suddenly brought that up.
"Regarding the Third Honkai Impact, we might have to change our previous view," Theresa looked at Mei.
Hearing the words "Third Honkai Impact," Mei lowered her head. After all, she was the Third Herrscher, and the disaster in Nagazora City was caused by her.
"The Honkai energy crystal that Elysia found at Chiba Academy was deliberately placed there by someone," Theresa said solemnly.
"Deliberately placed there by someone?" Himeko-jie looked seriously at Theresa, "Are you telling the truth?"
"Yes, it's true. We even found more than one Honkai energy crystal in Nagazora City," Theresa said earnestly.
"Furthermore, we found an exploded Honkai energy reactor in the center of Nagazora City," Theresa revealed the last piece of information.
These pieces of information were only obtained today. After returning to the Academy, Theresa dispatched several small teams to investigate Nagazora City, and then they uncovered these things.
"You mean that the Third Honkai Impact was intentionally triggered by someone?" Himeko-jie clenched her fists.
She really hadn't expected that someone would actively trigger a Honkai Eruption, and in a city at that.
Not only had she not expected it, but no one here who understood the meaning of Honkai Eruption had expected it either.
The placement of Honkai energy crystals, the remnants of a Honkai energy reactor.
"Yes, the information currently detected indicates that," Theresa also clenched her fists.
Nagazora City belonged to the Far East region, which meant someone had carried out a terrorist attack within her jurisdiction, and she hadn't discovered it!
"Then does that mean the Third Honkai Impact wasn't caused by Mei, right?" Kiana said loudly.
"Yes, the Third Honkai Impact was not caused by Mei," Theresa said.
"That's great, Mei! The Third Honkai Impact has nothing to do with you!" Kiana said happily.
"Mm." Mei clenched her fists, and tears slowly welled up.
Bronya also knew the truth at this moment. Honkai energy crystals, Honkai energy reactor. This meant that the Third Honkai Impact was very likely caused by her mother.
Bronya was somewhat disbelieving now. Why would her formerly gentle mother become like this, completely disregarding other people's lives? Bronya also slowly clenched her fists.
Seele, were the things Bronya did for her mother truly right?
Bronya began to doubt her mother in her heart.
