Chapter 177: Kiana, Long Time No See

After a long time, Bronie contacted Kiana again.

After the production of Puella Magi Madoka Magica, Bronie sent the anime to Anti Entropy for review and release. This review will definitely take a certain amount of time, and during this review process, Bronie also began working on the production of the theatrical version of Puella Magi Madoka Magica.

But well, the closer the end of the year, the closer the Third Eruption will be. Bronie needs to judge whether Kiana is ready for it and whether her mind is still stable.

"Whew! Sister Bronie!"

It took a long time for the video communication to connect, and the moment it did, Kiana's sunny, smiling face appeared on the screen, putting Bronie's mind at ease.

"Sorry, Kiana, I've been working on the anime recently, so I'm a little late in contacting you."

Since the last time she contacted Kiana, it was actually after rescuing Elysia back from her awakening. What exactly happened Bronie didn't go into detail, but the two months of lost contact did make Kiana worry for a while.

"Hehehehehehehe, has it actually been that long? Sorry Sister Bronie, I haven't even reacted yet! Recently, stinky dad's figure has disappeared again; I can't find any trace of him!"

"Disappeared again? What are you going to do next?"

"I don't know, but I think I'm getting a little bit of a head start... Since dad disappeared because he fought the Honkai, then wouldn't it be fine for me to just follow the path of fighting against the Honkai as well!"

"Uh huh? So--"

"I'm going to get into the Valkyrie School! Before that, I might need to enroll to get a degree, and it just so happens that school starts in March, and I'll be able to get in right after I graduate in June."

Good lord, was Kiana so goal-oriented?

But it was really all her brain could come up with with what was left of it.

Immediately afterward, a tangled expression appeared on Kiana's face.

"But the other me seems to hate Dad very much. She says it's because the act of abandoning me and running away directly without responsibility is something she dislikes very much."

"It can't be helped. Although your dad is fighting all the time, it's actually likely that he's already lost to Honkai in his heart. Too many of his precious things have been taken away by Honkai, and in order to protect the only thing he cherishes from being taken away by Honkai again, he had to leave."

"So if you just defeat Honkai, that's all you need to do, right?"

Hiss-

Kiana's flaw was that her mind was too simple, so simple that she thought defeating Honkai would bring her father back. Simple enough to think that Honkai was something so easy to destroy. Of course, that's one of her strengths. Being simple-minded and somehow counting as treating people with sincerity, like Elysia, always built up a lot of bonds.

Still, Bronie felt he needed to mention it.

"Kiana, it's great to have the idea of changing this world, the idea of changing this world into something beautiful like this, but don't you forget to protect the beauty that surrounds you while you're doing that."

"Huh? Bronie-san's speech is so hard to understand, like inside the game plot too."

Well, Bronie was getting a little desperate for Kiana's brain.

But that's okay, surely she'll understand her words when she grows up. So just saying it was like planting a seed in Kiana's mind and waiting quietly for it to blossom.

"It's okay, it doesn't matter if you don't understand now, but if you usually eat, eat a little less instant noodles. Remember those recipes I got for you?"

"Well.... I forgot them all!"

Kiana answered with a straight face, and all of a sudden Bronie felt her blood pressure rising.

Closing her eyes, she held back her anger. Bronie used her own hands to gently drag her chest.

"Kiana, if you don't take in enough nutrition then you may never grow taller. More likely your chest will be flat as well. It's impossible to pick up a beautiful girl with a barren body and ugly face, so usually when you eat instant noodles, you should at least consider the nutritional mix."

"Wow! I get it!"

Well, when it came to picking up girls, Kiana instantly understood everything.

"And just be safe, always, always, always be safe. You remember the appearance of the really powerful Honkai Beasts, right? That five-story tall height of the Honkai Beast can crush everything into crumbs."

"I'm taking good care of my nutrition! Even though it's instant noodles, I still add a lot of other things ooh! Alright, alright, Sis Bronie I'm busy here, and there are beautiful girls waiting for me to save them! So I'll hang up now!"

Saying that, Kiana directly hung up the phone on the grounds that the signal was bad. Leaving Bronie speechless as well.

Alright, Kiana hadn't even gone to Senba Academy yet, and there was probably still a while to go before the third eruption.

But...

"She's really unintelligent ah ... Maybe it'll be slightly better if she goes to school, I'll move the kids there after Kiana gets to St. Freya's Academy."

"The education of Kiana seems to be a little less successful?"

Elysia could relate to Bronie's feelings, a state that was even more worrisome than Griseo, as if she would be crushed by reality at any moment.

Especially the words that Kiana had said earlier.

Because the culprit that made Father disappear was Honkai, so by solving Honkai can bring her father back. The mission of the Kaslana Family Knights was to fight against Honkai and become a great hero who would save everyone!

So if Kiana knows that she's a Herrscher now, and Kiana realizes that if she destroys Honkai, she'll have to destroy herself.

How big of a blow would that be for her?

That's why for Bronie's idea of relocating the orphanage to the vicinity of St. Freya's Academy, Elysia was still very understanding.

"It can't be helped, when she was a child Kiana's brain was still quite flexible, she always passed your online classes. In fact, if you had to say, she must still be very smart, she just isn't used to using her brain and likes to rely on others."

Said Bronie then dialed the phone, in a place not far from St. Freya's Academy, bought a piece of land, and even hired a construction team from Anti Entropy, ready to build a villa in the hills slightly farther away from the city.

It was going to be bigger than the Golden Courtyard and would have more rooms. Of course, Bronie also planned to leave more land to build a Golden Courtyard for the Flamechasers as a temporary place to live.

Thirteen Flamechasers, twenty rooms, all in all certainly enough. Of course, that would all be for later.

As for the issue of the land, Otto was still quite good at talking. In fact, even if she didn't give money, Otto would probably give up the land to herself. Simply put, it was probably because of her favorability is now high at Otto.

"This does make people feel very, very worried about it ... Looks like we have to tell everyone to get ready to move, then the anime thing ..."

"It's still under review, of course if you want to watch it in advance, that's fine, want to watch it in advance?"

"Well ... it seems a bit tempting, a slight sneak peek or something, I can still show it off to the viewers a little bit during the live broadcast, but if I accidentally show all of it, will it affect everyone?"

"That doesn't matter, because this is supposed to be an anime made for you! So you can do whatever you want, and the most important thing is, after watching the anime, would you really do something like spoilers?"

That's when Elysia had a flash of insight.

"Bronie, you wouldn't be doing something like a tragedy, right?"

"Eh? No! It's definitely an ending where everyone gets a bright future! So don't worry about it at all!"

"Then stay with me!"

"Huh?"

Bronie never expected that Elysia would actually give such a request. Even at this time, Elysia had already grabbed her own arm.

"Well, I've seen the anime long ago! So watching it again or something should be rather boring, right?"

"Oh? Really?"

"Really ... really!"

"Look me in the eye and tell me again."

Damn it! Did Elysia find something!

"Alright, alright, I'll accompany you to see it then, I just hope you'll stick around to see all the contents in the evaluation."

"Well ... it looks like Bronie thinks that the plot inside will be a little controversial, but that's okay, I'll watch it properly before evaluating it~"

With such assurance from Elysia, Bronie felt like she couldn't escape. Forget it, let's take Elysia to the multimedia classroom!

Inside the multimedia classroom was a huge projector, and the experience was quite good if used to play a movie or something else. If you could find the original movie, it would be a great experience. It was a home theater to say the least.

And Bronie could still get in from Welt's side, after all, Anti Entropy's side definitely had the original movie of Alahatto. As long as she said she wanted to make giant robot-related works, then Old Yang definitely couldn't wait to personally come and explain the internal settings of those plots.

Empty classroom, pitch-black room, only the light brought by the projector vaguely illuminated part of the environment. Only to see Elysia stuffing a cup of cold drink into her hand, and when she looked at Elysia, Elysia revealed a bright smile.

"Let's see what kind of anime Bronie made for me~!"

...

Far away in the Far East, St. Freya Academy. The legendary older white-haired loli, the Schicksal S-rank Valkyrie, Theresa, was also in the midst of absolutely awesome reading session of her Homu collection in her office!

Just the sound of the door opening suddenly broke the tranquility of the academy president's office. Immediately followed by the sound of the Principal's office keyboard, then the sound of paper shredding.

"Principal, are you secretly playing games and reading manga again? St. Freya Academy will be graduating a new batch of Valkyries soon, have you assigned them positions yet?"

"Dang, sure! It's just that there's one child I'm a bit uneasy about ... Well, very uneasy ..."

"Wow? What kind of student is it? It would make you all so distressed by it that you need games and manga to relieve your inner stress."

The semi-retired Valkyrie named Himeko asked so. As the Himeko who had been placed as an adjutant beside Theresa, she had already gradually familiarized herself with the rhythm of Theresa's office. Although she did seem a bit unreliable normally, if it was a serious matter, Theresa was still able to accomplish it seriously.

It was Himeko, who was worried that Theresa would lose her majesty in front of the students and get off to a bad start in front of them. After all, an S-rank Valkyrie was actually a touchy-feely monster or something, and if some of the students who worked hard but never grew in strength saw that, I'm afraid that they would deny the meaning of hard work. Even the belief in being a Valkyrie would collapse or something like that. Himeko was still very worried about the situation of these flowers in the greenhouse.

"It's a student named Wendy, she wants to go to the New Zealand branch, but the Valkyries over there didn't come out of St. Freya's Academy, and it seems like she wants to bring the philosophy of St. Freya's Academy to every branch of Schicksal."

No longer just fighting for the sake of Honkai, but as a person who sees fighting Honkai as life and not everything. This philosophy, inherited from Cecilia, was something that Himeko was equally moved by upon arriving at this school. Too many, too many Valkyries of Schicksal did consistently struggle to keep their sanity in the face of Honkai. And the reasoning that Wendy, a student, had written was indeed distressing enough. Because she could foresee Wendy arriving at the New Zealand branch and then being bullied and ostracized. Even if she did manage to change the atmosphere in there a little bit, it was really very difficult to change that completely.

If you want to describe the Valkyries of the Normal Schicksal branch, then it would be more apt to describe them as evil spirits who take revenge on Honkai. For the guys who wanted to stop them from taking revenge on Honkai, the other side would also eliminate them without mercy. So the path that Wendy had chosen was very arduous.

"So this is you turning on Plants vs. Zombies during your work hours and watching Homu's Adventure on the side? Even if you try to escape reality, the facts are still objectively placed there, and besides, the graduating students have long since grown up. All we can do is wish them well."

"No, it's not escaping reality, I'm just thinking if there's any other way to convince Wendy!"

Theresa's gaze then went back to the top of the computer. Because she had forcefully closed the process just now, this level was considered a complete waste of time, which made Theresa feel a little bit of heartache. But what was even harder was her own brain, all of which had become diluted under the Kaslana family's strange power. Theresa's heart was bleeding, but still pretended to be strong.

"So what, what's your decision?"

Himeko clasped her hands to her chest, with the air of punishing Theresa if she didn't give a good answer, and Theresa instantly felt like she was losing in the air. The next decision she made would most likely determine that child's future, and might get her ostracized and bullied by her coworkers as a result.

But looking at the paper overflowing with visions of the future and a firm belief in her goals, it was not like Theresa could make a decision to refuse, and more importantly she mentioned the game Persona. It was all because of this game that Wendy had figured out her future path, as well as her personal beliefs.

"Let's hope that child will contact us more in the future, that way we might be able to help as well, and I can also fish her back if she can't stay there, so let's decide!"

"Since you recognize that Wendy can do that kind of thing, I can't really say anything about it, but this decision was really well thought out by you right?"

"That's right! Well, the Archbishop sent a message over, so you can leave the office first, I'm still very concerned about the children's future."

"It's actually a communication from the Archbishop? Well, then after that Theresa you should stop playing games, the work at the academy has been piling up lately as well, I don't want to see the work papers piling up more and more when I come here tomorrow!"

Himeko left Theresa's office after saying that, and Theresa just happened to click on the message from Otto. There was only one connection on it, a connection to a magical girl anime.

No! Teriri had grown up!

Long gone was the girl who loved magical girls or even played as one!

Wait, this was made by Haxxor Bunny?

Then it's okay for ... to look at it a little bit, right?
