Chapter 164: Feeling Not as Good as Angel

Theresa has been annoyed recently.

It's not because her naughty niece is suspected of having mental problems. After all, the Kaslana bloodline has always been strange, and she has an unusually tenacious vitality. Besides, with Angel, Raiden Mei, and others taking care of her, Kiana won't get into any big trouble.

The reason for her distress is that—

"Ah, what should I do with Angel's A-rank promotion file!?"

The majestic school principal had just finished today's slacking off and humming comic appreciation activity. When she turned on the computer, the promotion file was lying right in the middle of the screen, impossible to ignore.

Generally speaking, the process for a Valkyrie to be promoted to A-rank is as follows:

First, after long-term observation, the direct superior determines that her comprehensive qualities such as strength, qualifications, merits, and knowledge rank are all up to standard, and then submits a promotion application to their superior.

Then, the application is reported all the way up to the direct branch chief, who signs and submits it to the headquarters after approving it.

Finally, the headquarters arranges the assessment and recognition, and the promotion is completed after all the tests are passed.

Angel's case was a special one. Because of her excellent qualifications or outstanding specialties, she was noticed by the headquarters, so they directly arranged the assessment and recognition. After passing, it was issued to the branch chief. There have been many precedents.

After this, the promotion to A-rank was a foregone conclusion. The branch chief could only delay it at most depending on the situation. Sooner or later, they would sign their name and complete the promotion.

Himeko stared at the document on the screen, holding her chin with one hand, and sighed with a headache.

"That's true. For a Valkyrie, strength is the most critical factor. If the strength is good enough, other restrictions are not important at all. Even if Angel's resume is still thin now, it will be thick sooner or later. To be honest, it's normal for you to sign directly."

"That's what I'm annoyed about! Grandpa has completed the assessment procedures, and now he's just handing the nuclear bomb button to me alone—no, Himeko, why are you here!"

Theresa turned her head, her delicate little face, like a doll, showing a surprised and funny expression.

Himeko lowered her head and pinched her friend's soft face.

"I saw your office light still on in the middle of the night. Can't I come over to see if you are slacking off or working overtime?"

"No, no, no, I wasn't surprised by your behavior before, but it's a problem now! Aren't you asleep at this time recently? When I call you out for a midnight snack, don't you lazily say something like 'I've been fed by Angel' or 'Angel is so soft and fragrant that I don't want to get out of bed'?!"

Theresa tapped Himeko's forehead with an unhappy look.

Himeko subconsciously touched her face, tilted her head elegantly, and smiled unconsciously. "Eh? Am I like that?"

"Of course! When you hugged me to sleep before, you never praised me like this! Really, the cutest person in the world is me, it's me!"

Theresa slapped the table angrily, with an angry and dissatisfied expression. Himeko smiled tolerantly, then sighed.

"I came out to hang out late at night, it's all because of Kiana."

"Eh? Niece, what's wrong with her again?"

"Because her mental state has been bad in the past few days, Angel is very worried. Not only did she take her home to recuperate in the afternoon, but she also went to sleep with her at night. I was left alone in the empty bed, so lonely!"

Himeko stared at Theresa with resentment, trying to scold this aunt with her eyes for not taking care of things. Theresa's momentum weakened, and she whispered to her finger.

"You can't blame me, I haven't taken care of children. Besides, Kiana is so old, I don't understand what a child of this age is thinking."

"That's right, I am also distressed sometimes. I don't know what Angel's little head is thinking. Every day she just pesters me for a hug, is very keen to make delicious food for me, massages my back every day, is very happy when changing my underwear, and is very serious when cleaning the room... Alas, what is that child thinking?"

"You are showing off! You are just showing off!"

Theresa's suppressed irritability broke out more violently.

What a perfect junior all-round maid type!

If Kiana could be so virtuous and sensible and let her, an aunt, live comfortably every day, Theresa would wake up with a smile in her dreams.

Himeko thought about it, shook her head, and showed Theresa a bitter smile with mixed feelings.

"It's comfortable, but... forget it, I won't say it anymore."

"If you have something to say, just say it, don't keep me in suspense!"

"You won't understand even if I tell you."

Himeko rolled her eyes.

You are a lolita old woman who has been single for more than 40 years. You know nothing about emotional problems.

Especially for this kind of taboo relationship that seems to transcend the world, Himeko no longer expects others to give good advice and help her deal with it properly.

But what Theresa hates most is being treated as an ignorant child. How can she tolerate Himeko's contempt?

"Hey! Explain yourself! We have been friends for so many years. Is there anything you can't discuss with me? I tell you, there is no problem in this world that I, Lady Theresa, can't solve! Just speak your mind!"

"No, no, no, friendship is friendship, but it feels wrong to discuss these things!"

"What's wrong? Don't you believe me!?"

"No, why are you arguing with me about this?"

Himeko lowered her head and saw Theresa pounding her chest angrily. It didn't hurt, but it bounced and swayed, and it was a little itchy.

The front armor is really useful at this time.

Himeko stroked Theresa's head, comforting her friend while sighing absent-mindedly.

Finally, Himeko went to Theresa's room, hugged her friend for the first time in a long time, and went to sleep together.

It's just that the room was a bit messy, and the pillow and quilt didn't have the dry and comfortable feeling of being scorched by the sun and carefully taken care of. There was no massage before going to bed to relax, and there was no soft and cute good morning voice and various caring gestures from Angel after waking up.

How to say it, after waking up, Himeko rubbed her sore eyes, patted the head of Theresa who was still snoring and drooling, and muttered.

"The feel, it's not as good as Angel, in every sense."

...

"A-choo!"

In the playground in the early morning, Angel sneezed cutely, then rubbed her nose and tilted her head expressionlessly.

Next to her, Kiana cast a concerned look. Because she was well taken care of yesterday and had a very high quality of sleep, she didn't feel sleepy even if she was pulled up for morning exercises on the weekend morning.

Her transparent big eyes blinked energetically. She asked. "Are you okay, Angel?"

"No. Let's get started. Today is the weekend, so the goal is to jog 15 kilometers, finish in 20 minutes, and warm up the body a little."

Angel stated the goal that normal people would faint after hearing.

And Kiana smiled brightly, showing her healthy and beautiful white teeth, and gave a full-of-energy answer.

"Oh! No problem!"

Then, the pair of white, round, firm, and tight long legs moved, running forward wildly, so white that it was dazzling.

Angel's mouth curled up slightly, and she rushed up, following the beautiful back of the youthful and budding Kiana.
