"Don't worry, this setback won't defeat her."
"Kiana is probably thinking of a way to come back right now. It won't be long before she comes back here, eager to pick you up."
Himeko was taken aback, looking at the incredibly trusting expression on the other person's face: "You... seem to trust Kiana a lot?"
Qi Shi did not deny it at all, and said frankly: "Of course, I believe in her, just like I believe in Kiana in this world."
Himeko looked at him for a few seconds, then suddenly lowered her head and chuckled. Her words seemed to carry a kind of romance from time and space, which gave her a special feeling. Finally, she said with a gentle expression.
"Anyway, thank you for your help to me and to Kiana."
Then, the mature red-haired beauty stretched and let out a strange sigh.
"Wow~ I never thought that an ordinary Valkyrie like me could receive such a rescue that transcends time and space. I'm really lucky."
"It's not luck, it's charm," Qi Shi said, denying it.
Himeko was taken aback and turned to look at the young man who was staring at her intently. He had a faint smile on his face, gentle and bright.
Suddenly feeling a burning sensation in her cheeks, she coughed lightly, her gaze unfocused, and turned her face away.
"You little brat, don't try to flirt with adults! I'm not the kind of girl you can easily fool."
Her words did not cause any change in Qi Shi; he simply let out a laugh.
"Kiana said the same thing when she came: Do you people from the future like to use age to pressure others?"
"Damn it! How dare a student steal her teacher's lines!" Himeko Shinku said angrily.
"I don't care. Kiana comes from the future, and I come from the past. What is said in the past is of course earlier than what is said in the future, so I actually said it first."
She gave a snort and pulled out a fabricated theory of relativity about time.
Qi Shi smiled and said, "Brilliant theory. I now believe that Kiana was taught by you."
Hearing the teasing, Himeko glared at him, then sighed helplessly and laughed.
The two then chatted for a while in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, mostly about the End Worm and St. Freya.
Not long after, Himeko knocked on the door again and entered. She had prepared a place for Shinku Himeko to stay, which was even next to her own place. She had spent her own salary to buy a lot of daily necessities, which showed how much she cared about this.
Seeing that Qi Shi did not stop them, he let the two of them go to their lodgings together.
He happened to have other things to do, and he had a good show to watch.
Himeko and Shinku Himeko chatted as they made their way to the staff quarters of St. Freya.
"Your place is in the south of the staff dormitory area. I've arranged all your living necessities there. It's very close to my dormitory. You can contact me anytime if you need anything in St. Freya."
"Okay, thank you."
Himeko smiled and thanked him. Now that she understood everything, she no longer felt awkward talking to him and felt much more relaxed and natural.
However, I couldn't help but feel a little impressed; the other party was really enthusiastic.
As expected, following Qi Shi, who could travel through time and space at will and possessed many powers that she could not understand and were unpredictable, she in this world also gained a lot of knowledge. Even when facing Qi Shi, a visitor from another world, she was able to treat her with normal gentleness.
Himeko observed her expression and nodded with some relief. Her lively and gentle expression and friendly and considerate attitude showed that she had the same understanding of life as ordinary people. As expected, she knew that the captain was trustworthy and not the kind of cold-blooded person. Even if it was a clone, she would definitely treat it well. This good state of mind reassured her a lot.
Himeko Shinku was unaware that the other party's natural demeanor was not due to extensive knowledge, but rather because they saw her as a pitiful clone.
The two chatted as they walked down the corridor.
Just then, a clumsy white-haired girl came running towards them from the opposite direction. Her beautiful braids swayed in the wind as she hurriedly ran while carrying a stack of documents. When she saw Himeko and the other girl, she stopped in her tracks in astonishment.
"Wow, there are two Himeko-sensei!!"
Kiana stopped abruptly, looking left at Himeko and right at Shinku Himeko. She rubbed her disbelieving eyes with her little fists, then widened her eyes and let out a shocked exclamation.
Himeko rubbed her forehead in distress, wondering how to explain things and whether her distant relative would believe her explanation.
As Himeko looked at the young, adorable, and innocent Kiana opposite her, a gentle smile suddenly appeared on her face.
She suddenly realized that coming here wasn't so bad after all.
Meanwhile, these things were happening in St. Freya.
Fierce fighting and gunfire erupted in the streets.
The Valkyries' advance was halted, leading to a fierce clash with the enemy.
Inside a base, a figure dressed entirely in black with a hood and wearing a menacing white mask, exuding a chilling aura, calmly surveyed the entire situation.
Such a large-scale operation by Destiny could not escape his notice. Gray Serpent's eyes were watching everything from the shadows, and he had already made preparations to deal with it.
Those who covet the relics left behind by Yingjie will only face certain death.
