Chapter 174: Educational Material

Himeko that just got saved from the imaginary space roused. Feeling much better, a miracle. As she always woke up with excruciating pain and a hangover. The experimental artificial stigmata destroying her body day by day.

"Ugh? Is this a nice dream? If it is, then I don't wanna wake up~" She snuggled at the state of the art bed from Ein and had a lazy expression on her face. Feeling floaty from the excellent mattress.

"Himeko-sensei..." Mei grasped her hand and started to sob. "What? Mei? Himeko got sobered up by Mei's voice and she sat up quickly. "Ahhh! Kiana! How's Kiana!?" Himeko looked at Mei and the girl nodded with a small smile.

"I see... It must have been hard for you girls." Himeko gave a wry smile and patted Mei's head. "I-it was... You disappeared. Kiana took in multiple herrscher cores. And she was dying trying to ease the burdens of everyone. She almost tried to kill herself to end it all." Mei got downtrodden and Himeko frowned.

They then heard a knock and saw Ein leaning at the door. "Yo, how are you doing girlie? You really got reckless when you got out of Caltech huh?" Ein gave her a big Japanese breakfast and smiled at her.

"Ummm, who are you?" Himeko was surprised that he knew she studied at Caltech. "Well, long story short. I saved your ass, you were swimming in the imaginary space. Moments before death, I even gave you a nice little upgrade." He shrugged and Himeko patted all over her body, thinking that she was much stronger and the stigmata's debilitating effects on her were gone.

"I... I don't feel any pain. My body feels good as new, just who are you?" Himeko got suspicious at him and Mei introduced him. "He's Einheri Aesir, Himeko-sensei. He is from another universe, and he is the leader of the Previous Era civilization." Mei sighed and thought that must be quite a shocking revelation.

"What!? But how? How is he still alive then?" Himeko was flabbergasted and recalled that the PE was at least 50 millennia ago.

"Nanomachines, let's leave it at that shall we? Anyways, you feel fine? No discomfort whatsoever? I pride myself with my work, but things can get pretty freaky in the imaginary space." He patted her body and checked for abnormalities.

"U-un. I'm fine, hey! You need to take me to a nice dinner first before you touch all over me!" Himeko swatted his hand away and Ein chuckled.

"Yeah, sure. But not that I don't know what you look like naked anyways." He shrugged and Himeko thought that he saw her while she was getting healed up. But Mei had a cramped look on her face and the redhead concluded that there must be something more to it.

"Mei, why are you acting like that?" Himeko asked and Mei gave her a picture. She browsed it and saw pictures of her in Caltech with Ein, Lieserl, and Joachim.

"W-wait a minute... This is me in my college days... And she's clinging to you like a leech. A-are you?" Her breath got hitched as memories flodded her mind. Remembering the times in Caltech that got deleted by Anti-Entropy.

"Umu, I'm your boyfriend. So what cha think? Pretty good catch no?" He chuckled and Himeko just stared at him, evaluating him from head to toe.

"Damn, my college self got a hottie. And I'm still single... And I'm 27 already." She got depressed and Mei got a small smile on her face. Remembering the times where she got shitfaced drunk and always whined that she couldn't find a nice man.

"Yeah, we also filmed your graduation together. You were an international sensation, getting a PhD while still young. You still work as a teacher at St. Freya, but you totally act like a noble because of Eden's influence. Drinking wine and eating a charteurie board." He showed her some more pictures.

"Oh wow, she looks just like me while I was in college. But she is so mature and classy. She's basically a high class lady!" Himeko got frustrated and thought her other self was living the good life.

He then gave her the remote and told Mei that he will just get Hua home for now. They will then talk about what they'll do next.

"Ahhh~ I also live in a mansion. And look at my bath there!? I have access to jaccuzis and bubble baths every time..." Himeko thought that she didn't really pick a good career as a Valkyrie and bit her lips in envy.

"Ahn~ Ein! Shoot it all deep inside!" Himeko and Mei got blindsided by a wild video as they've let the slideshow go on while they talked about the things that happened.

"Awawawa! Himeko-sensei! Turn it off! Turn it off!" Mei shouted out in a panic and Himeko just watched in morbid curiosity.

"Damn. This is some high quality shit. Mei, you guys didn't have any sex education right? How about I start with you." Himeko started teaching Mei about the birds and the bees while her counterpart was getting railed. Making Mei overheat from the embarrassing lesson.

Kallen then entered the fray with her hair down and Mei froze instantly. "K-Kiana-chan?" Mei's anxiety went through the roof and she started to breathe heavily. As Kallen and Kiana looked exactly alike with their hair down.

"Oh my god, Kiana's getting it on with him too?" Himeko was shocked as well and couldn't wait to see what would happen.

But they heard her deeper voice and concluded that it wasn't her. "P-phew... I see that she isn't Kiana-chan." Mei sighed in relief, but instead. She was now extremely invested in the video.

The student and teacher then browsed the videos aplenty. Even seeing their little principal, Theresa. "Even Theresa? Oh my god, how can that fit inside of her?" Himeko thought the little principal was a goddamned trooper.

"Hey, Mei..." Phyllis entered their room and was about to sell her some sweet merch, pictures of Kalpas and Kevin as girls. But she saw the sweet cried of the women on the screen and her cat eyes narrowed.

"Pardo! This isn't what it looks like! Right! We were just having some education!" Mei reasoned immediately and Phyllis had a huge smirk on her face. "You know the rules, and so do I." Phyllis reached out with her hand and Mei put stacks of coins on her hand.

"Wait a minute... Is that Elysia? Sis snake too! Eden as well... He really was telling the truth." Phyllis got sucked in and joined in on their sex education.

Can was pulling on Phyllis so she won't go to the dark side. But alas, her curiosity was too much. Can then went to the other flame chasers to get her out of there.

After some minutes, Eden came with Elysia. "Hii~ Mei-chan, did you... Miss me?" Elysia immediately got glued to the screen and Eden was speechless.

"Eden, you look so hot there! Ein can really make you sing with his mic eh?" Elysia wiggled her brows and Eden blushed heavily.

"Elysia! That's really inappropriate." Eden chided her, but she couldn't look away from seeing herself doing the dirty. Feeling surreal about the situation, though she got curious about it as her counterpart looked like she was enjoying the best thing in the world.

"Elysia-san. Can't we use this to take control of sis snake? I don't know about you, but sis snake is the type that would say. *Sex? You mean procreation? I have no need for such things, why? Because I'm immortal.* That kinda jazz." Phyllis suggested to Elysia and they high fived.

Eden sighed at their antics and Can returned once more with Vill-v who was dragging Mobius with her. "I can smell something interesting happening here!" Vill-v entered the room and her excitement got frozen over by what they were all watching.

Meanwhile, Mobius' eyes dilated, her mouth opening and closing like a goldfish. "Mobius! Your long tongue feels nice too~" Elysia in the video was being double teamed by Ein and Mobius, and the green haired scientist cannot believe what she was witnessing one bit.

"Woah, now that was an unexpected hat trick." Vill-v joked and the room now had a sizeable peanut gallery. "Wait, something's missing." Elysia rubbed her chin and thought hard about it.

"Ahh! SAKURA and Aponia aren't here! I really wanna see their cold expressions change into ecstasy, fufufu~ Mei-chan! Try to find a video with them in it okay? I'll fetch them real quick." Elysia dashed through the door and made a run for it.

Ein went nearby Schicksal and released a pulse of honkai energy so Hua would know that she is getting picked up. "Ein-nii! I did what you told me, the guy was really entertaining at the start. But he suddenly didn't react anymore and just stared at the videos like a corpse." She reported and exuded praise me energy.

"Good job Hua, that means you were stellar at your work. Now how about we go talk to Mei and plan our next step here at this universe?" He patted her head and gave her a bowl of her favorite noodles.

"For real? I did good? Yatta! Thanks!" She started digging in and they teleported back to the golden courtyard. But what they saw was the girls watching his little videos.

"Ohh, I never thought they would watch those. Eh, anyways. Mei, I need to talk to you. We need some information." Ein gestured for her to come with and she nodded with a burning blush on her face.

"Hehe~ thanks for the show Ein. Mei learned a lot with our little education." Himeko snickered at Mei and waved goodbye.

They went outside and Ein asked her where the others were. "Can you tell me where Kiana is? Based on what happened, then she must really need to see Himeko right now." Ein concluded that the girl must be blaming herself heavily and would be overcompensating for her so called crimes.

"Kiana-chan... I do not know, but she must be with Bronya-chan after the events in Manila." Mei shook her head and frowned heavily, remembering their fight at Nagazora.

"You're pretty useless aren't cha? Shouldn't you like, know 24/7 where everyone is? So you could attack them immediately or just gather Intel? That's like the basics." Hua berated her and Mei flinched, not really understanding their life as soldiers.

"Hua, she didn't live a life like ours. So she's got a pass, for now. But aren't you a Valkyrie? And things aren't pretty now as well, you should honestly remember what Hua just said. Stick to the basics, you'll go a long way." Ein patted her head and Mei's brows furrowed.

"You... You don't understand." Mei bit her lip in frustration and Hua raised a brow at her. "Hmm? Explain more, girl." She hissed and Mei's sudden burst of emotions got the better of her.

"I do not know what to do! She destroys her body for the sake of us and we could only watch! Powerless, without being able to help her." She slumped down on the floor and Hua gave a hysterical laugh.

"You don't know what to do? You are powerless?" She laughed so hard she shed tears and almost bust a gut. "Ein-nii, this girl must be kidding? Are you sure you aren't a basic white girl? Your words ooze of privilege." Hua's laugh and smile on her face suddenly disappeared.

"You were born as a heiress of an international company. You lost your mother to cancer? I do not even have a single memory of her but her face. You lost everything when you were in high school, you mean your father and money? I was ostracized for practicing martial arts and wearing old clothes, I had to hold back in spending for a single bowl of cheap noodles. I saw my city burn down, razed to the ground." Hua snorted, anger on her face.

"And that all happened when I was just a fresh teen. Fighting a world wide war, seeing my comrades get shot down, ripped apart. And protect a piece of land for thousands of years. Erasing my memories every few years or I will go insane." Mei went quiet, she knew that the MOTHs had it rough. But of course it was better in her head.

"Hah, that's enough Hua. Of course she won't understand, things are different now. And that's a good thing. Okay? You're turning into a boomer you know? With all your in my days talk, I mean... It really is much worse, but she doesn't care." Ein patted her head to calm her down and rubbed her hair.

"Agh! It seems I need to learn more. I was already becoming the thing I swore to beat!" Hua already forgot about it and Mei thought he was amazing. Smothering Hua's fury in an instant.

"Well, do you wanna come with? You probably want to see her badly no?" Ein offered and Mei thought about Kevin.

And with perfect timing, the real Kevin appeared. Surprised as well to see Hua just like his sim. "That's not possible, invaders. She cannot leave the World Serpent." Kevin said with narrowed eyes and Hua huffed, cracking her knuckles with a wide smile on her face.

"Pretty big words Kevin. How about I kick your ass? UWOOGH! THIS HAND OF MINE GLOWS WITH AN AWESOME POWER! ITS BURNING GRIP TELLS ME TO DEFEAT YOU! TAKE THIS, SHINING FINGAH SWORD!" Hua raised her finger and swung it. But nothing happened.

"Enough games." Kevin was about to brandish Shamash, but he couldn't feel his hands. He looked down and his view suddenly showed him the ceiling as he got cut in half.

"Hahaha! Praise the herrscher of sentience!" Hua raised her hands in the air and Mei started sweating heavily. Kalpas can hand her ass to her and Kevin no diffs him. And Hua just played with him like a little disposable toy.

"Hah, you know that he would survive that. But he'll take a long time to recover Hua. Do that again and I'll ban you from the noodle bar." Ein chided her and Hua immediately prostrated to the ground.

"Ein-sama! Forgive me! This humble one does not mean to offend the great you!" Hua started trembling and begged desperately. Like she was begging for her life.

"I hope you learned your lesson okay? No trying new moves on people that can't take it." He bonked her on the head and Kevin still couldn't process what just happened. So they left him behind, Ein leaving him a bottle of potion.
