Chapter 120: I'm Marrying Mei—You Must Come, Kiana!

Everyone aboard the Hyperion stared blankly at Takumi and Bronya.

"Himeko-sensei!"

Bronya smiled and greeted Himeko warmly upon hearing her name.

Himeko froze for a moment.

"Is that really... Bronya?"

Slowly lowering her weapon, Himeko looked with some confusion at this adult version of Bronya.

Theresa and Tesla couldn't quite believe it either.

"That's right, it's Bronya!"

"Is this... the young Bronya from before?"

"So cute!"

"Hello, I'm your future husband~!"

Takumi grinned and walked up to the younger Bronya, reaching out to ruffle her hair.

Stunned, the younger Bronya stared at him, confused.

"Huh???"

Her brain froze.

Future husband?

Seriously?

o((⊙﹏⊙))o

"Stop joking!"

"I'm the Bronya from a parallel world."

"Mei invited us here to deal with the situation with Kiana."

"Honestly, I didn't expect that idiot to go so wild in this world."

"If Aunt Cecilia saw this, she'd be totally dumbfounded."

Bronya gave a brief explanation before turning her gaze toward the large screen showing the battle.

Hearing the name Cecilia, Theresa's face changed.

"Cecilia...?"

Bronya's world still had Cecilia?

Such a familiar, yet distant name.

The moment Bronya mentioned it, Theresa basically believed her.

"A parallel world?"

"How did you even travel here?"

"Was that the Herrscher of the Void's ability just now?"

Tesla was bursting with excitement.

People from a parallel world?

Could this be real?

"I'm the Herrscher of the End!"

Takumi responded with a perfectly serious expression.

...

Hearing this, everyone nearly fell over.

Seriously? The Herrscher of the End?

"Anyway, now's not the time for all that."

"I'll go bring Kiana back."

"I can't forget the favor Mei asked of me."

With a smile, Takumi opened a portal into imaginary space and vanished.

Leaving Bronya behind with the younger Bronya, their eyes locked in mutual curiosity.

Everyone else focused on them too.

Especially on adult Bronya's... development.

They were honestly shocked.

Adult Bronya was... quite well-developed?

Shocking!

The younger Bronya looked at her older counterpart and slowly spoke:

"You..."

She wanted to ask something.

But the words just wouldn't come out.

Was her future really like this?

"You want to ask about the future, right?"

"Even though we're the same person, our experiences are different."

"I was also adopted by Mother Cocolia as a child."

"I grew up and studied like normal."

"Seele and the others were with me too."

"In the end, I became the CEO of a game company."

"Mei, Kiana — they all exist in our world too."

"And of course, Theresa!"

"In our world, Theresa is even an idol."

"She has fans all over the globe."

As she spoke, Bronya turned to look at the petite Theresa.

Everyone was stunned by her words.

Especially Theresa, who blinked in disbelief.

"What? I'm an idol in another world?"

Shocking!!

"Himeko-sensei, let's leave the rest to Takumi."

"You really shouldn't be involved in this part."

Bronya spoke calmly before turning her gaze back to the large screen.

She wasn't here to interfere — just to help if needed and catch up with the younger Bronya.

Other matters could wait.

On screen, Takumi had already arrived on the battlefield.

Honestly, he felt like his presence was unnecessary.

Because Mei was absolutely pummeling the Queen.

Kiana had no power to fight back.

"Damn it, damn it, damn it!!"

"How are you this strong?!"

The Herrscher of the Void screamed in rage.

No matter what, she couldn't understand it.

Why was Mei so powerful?

"This is the power of knowledge!"

"Sirin, you blockhead, would never understand."

Mei looked at Sirin with disdain.

She knew Kiana's condition very well.

This wasn't Kiana.

This was Sirin's personality.

Being looked down upon, Sirin flew into a rage.

She gathered her power and launched a barrage of subspace spears.

Mei's body sparked with lightning.

An electromagnetic shield burst from her, deflecting every spear.

Immediately after, she transformed into a flash of lightning and appeared before Sirin.

She smacked her with her sword.

Boom!

Sirin was sent flying.

Although this wasn't Kiana — it was still her body.

Mei had to be careful not to injure her.

If this were a real fight, she would've shredded Sirin.

All she could do now was hope Takumi would arrive soon.

So this whole mess could be settled.

"Feels like it doesn't matter if I'm here or not."

"You could've ended this easily yourself."

As Mei prepared to attack again, a voice rang out.

Takumi.

Hearing him, Mei lit up with joy.

"Takumi!!"

"You finally came."

She breathed a sigh of relief.

"I've been here for a while."

"Also stopped by the Hyperion — Big Duck's over there."

Mei rolled her eyes.

Not the time for jokes.

"Takumi, I'll leave the rest to you."

Her gaze landed on the Herrscher of the Void getting back up.

Takumi nodded.

"No problem."

"Piece of cake."

He vanished and reappeared in front of her.

Sirin's expression shifted.

As another Herrscher, and one under special watch, she could sense his immense power.

Takumi didn't let her speak.

He placed his hand on her forehead.

"Sleep tight."

"This body isn't yours."

With that, the Authority of Knowledge activated.

He hypnotized Sirin's consciousness.

And awakened Kiana.

"Huh?"

Kiana blinked, dazed.

"Who... are you?"

She stared at Takumi, bewildered.

Who was this handsome guy?

"I'm Mei's boyfriend."

At that, Kiana instinctively launched an attack.

A subspace spear flew toward Takumi.

"You bastard!!"

"As if Mei would have a boyfriend?!"

She was furious.

Mentioning Mei short-circuited her brain instantly.
