Chapter 18: That's it?

The eldest lady Angel witnessed the so-called heritage of the Tachibana family and sent the old man away with a face full of emotion and awe.

Then, the eldest lady Angel's expression suddenly became wooden, with a bit of disappointment. At the same time, the Angels in the theater sat opposite each other, all speechless.

"That's it? The old man has been holding it in for a long time, and that's it?"

"He's just a supplier of anti-entropy components. I thought he was an executor!"

"Wow! I was shocked for nothing. What a waste of time!"

From the perspective of ordinary people, everything related to Honkai is mysterious and extremely dangerous, and Schicksal and Anti-Entropy are behemoths that can change the world's order in minutes.

So, being able to get in touch with Anti-Entropy, from the perspective of ordinary people, seems to be a very impressive thing.

But for the Angels, this insignificant truth can't make up for the sudden shock when they saw the Titan coming to their door!

"I really don't know if this is good luck or bad luck. I thought she was just an ordinary young lady who had nothing to do with Honkai!"

"Now, as the heir to the family business with the largest influence in the Far East, we are directly in the sight of Anti-Entropy. Although they won't pay too much attention to us, our global travel plan will definitely be ruined!"

"Not necessarily, we can still make up a pretext, such as inspecting branches."

"Besides, it doesn't necessarily mean that the young lady has to send clones all over the world, right? With the wealth and resources we have now, it is easy enough to send the clones away. As long as the design is more rigorous, there shouldn't be any problems...right?"

The Angels were a little uncertain. After all, encountering a cold corpse of a young lady on the road can be indirectly related to Anti-Entropy. The Angels were really uncertain about their luck.

After a chattering discussion, the Angels decided to continue to send clones and promote the plan to make resurrection archives. After that, they continued to study hard in theoretical courses and physical courses.

At St. Freya Academy, Angel woke up after a night of coma. Then she saw her arm was fixed in the air, tied with a wooden board and thick bandages.

"Are you awake? Is it still painful? Drink some water first. Bronya, go call the doctor."

Bronya walked out of the ward with her bouncing spiral ponytails, and the metal exoskeleton supporting her lower limbs collided with the ground, making a heavy and solid metal sound.

Angel scratched her head, synchronized the information of the avatar and the eldest lady in the theater during her coma, then sat up with her movable left hand, drank some water, and waited quietly for the doctor to arrive.

"The bad news is that the arm muscles are torn a lot, and the bones are also broken due to the explosion of Honkai energy. The good news is that your physique is quite good, and the adaptability to Honkai energy is very high, so the surgery and medicine are very effective, and the recovery speed will be relatively fast."

"Come back for a checkup once a week after discharge. If there are no accidents, the bandage can be removed after a month, and it will be fully recovered in two months."

The doctor announced the results with a smile and rubbed Angel's little head. Angel didn't say anything. But Kiana, Raiden Mei, and Himeko, who heard the news, surrounded the doctor and thanked him one after another, unable to hide their excitement and gratitude.

After politely sending the doctor away, Himeko closed the door, strode towards Angel, lifted her sleeves, and knocked down her head with a knife hand without any hesitation.

"It hurts..."

"You still feel pain? I've heard from Fu Hua! You're so capable, aren't you? You've just learned basic fighting techniques, and you've already started developing your own Honkai moves, and you're so confident that you want to use them in a duel? You haven't even learned to walk yet, but you want to fly, right? Who gave you the courage, you little brat!"

The more Himeko spoke, the angrier she got, so she slammed Angel's head with her hand a few more times and continued angrily:

"Do you know that developing your own fighting style is something that only an experienced A-level Valkyrie is qualified to consider! You're just a kid who's been in school for a week, and you're just fooling around!"

"It hurts..."

"You deserve it!"

Himeko slapped Angel's head hard. The next second, she hugged Angel tightly in her arms again, stroking her hair, and her high-spirited voice softened instantly, with a strong sense of worry.

"You almost scared me, little Angel."

Himeko sighed tiredly, with a faint dark blue around her eyes after a sleepless night.

Angel was brought into the academy by her own hands, and she was deeply dependent on her. In Himeko's eyes, she was already a junior by her side, and she had the obligation and responsibility to take care of her. Hearing that Angel had an accident in the duel field, it was said that blood sprayed red on a large area of the ground, and Himeko was almost scared to death.

Now seeing Angel wake up, the result is much better than expected. Himeko is really happy and angry, just like seeing her own child rolling in the mud and getting dirty but laughing and returning home... No, it's ten times more angry than this. In short, it's probably the kind of feeling that you want to beat her but feel distressed, and if you don't beat her, you feel angry and your liver hurts.

"How do you feel now? Are you hungry? We brought breakfast here, you should eat some first."

Himeko waved her hand, signaling Raiden Mei to spread out the food box on the table next to her. The aroma of food soon lingered, dispelling the smell of disinfectant. Himeko looked at Angel's pitiful appearance of shrinking her head and being scolded, and then looked at her right hand still hanging in the air, sighed again, and picked up the knife and fork helplessly.

Himeko: "Hey, open your mouth, ah~"

Angel: "Ah~~"

Himeko: "Really, isn't this back to the beginning? Ever since you fainted from a hunger strike, I didn't expect to feed you again so soon, and I guess you'll have to feed for several days. I say, you should be grateful, you know, even my father didn't have this kind of treatment! Open your mouth, ah~"

Angel: "Ah~~"

Himeko: "You're still cute only at times like this. Don't take the actual combat class during these days of recuperation, and forget your random moves. If you really want to learn something in-depth, I'll help you find a way when you perform well enough. Do you understand? If you do, open your mouth, ah~"

Angel: "Ah~~"

The morning glow also shone in from the window at this time, and the dust in the ward slowly flew in the light, making people feel calm and at ease. Kiana, Raiden Mei, and Bronya watched the scene of Himeko feeding Angel. The mature and beautiful red-haired woman and the cute little girl made them feel sincere envy.

On the one hand, Himeko had never taken care of them so gently and intimately; on the other hand, such a contrasting scene made it difficult not to imagine a mother and a child. But the memories of their mothers were far from perfect or either lack thereof!

"That's great."

Kiana whispered to herself, then took a deep breath and restrained the urge to cry for some reason.

"Let's go out and handle the discharge procedures for Angel first. Keep your voice down and don't disturb them."

Raiden Mei put her finger on her lips and whispered to the two. The two nodded in unison, and then left the ward, leaving the space for Angel and Himeko, who they thought was the most trusted and relied on by Angel.
