Siegfried snapped out of his daze, ran over, slapped away Raiden Ryoma's hand, and put it on himself.
"What do you mean by 'competing with you'? It's her own opinion that she likes Mei."
Raiden Ryoma looked at Siegfried with a smug expression, his tone tinged with pride.
"Besides, it was my Mei who met him first."
"Kiana even lived with him!"
"Mei isn't yet!"
……
Watching the two old men bicker over him, and the argument gradually escalating to the topic of whose daughter was the cutest, Luo Chen couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.
"Hey you two, can you please stop arguing?"
Luo Chen spoke up, and the two of them turned to look at him together, saying in unison, "Kid, you be the judge, who's cuter, Mei (Kiana) or Kiana (Mei)?"
"I refuse to answer."
This question was clearly a death trap, so Luo Chen simply gave up on answering it.
"Are you guys really that serious if you're not an older man?"
Luo Chen couldn't understand why the two of them would argue over something like this.
"Kid, you don't understand yet."
Siegfried feigned mystery and said in a haughty tone, "You'll know when you have children."
"Whether I'll live to see that day is still a question."
Luo Chen shrugged and said nonchalantly, "I might just die on the battlefield one day."
"It's not good for you to be so pessimistic at such a young age."
"You're here."
Tesla and Himeko appeared together at the entrance of the training ground. Looking at the three people inside, Tesla adjusted his glasses.
"Sister Himeko! Have you finished talking?"
"Hmm. Little one, come out for a moment, I need to talk to the two of you about something."
Luo Chen leaned against the edge of the training field, while Himeko was talking with Siegfried and Raiden Ryoma in the center. Judging from the sounds coming from the training field, Himeko was probably telling them about Mei and Kiana's performance at school.
"Your name is Luo Chen, right?"
Luo Chen turned his head and saw Tesla standing next to him, arms crossed, looking him over.
"Yes, Dr. Tesla, hello."
"Just call me Tesla. Is that a Divine Key in your hand?"
Luo Chen nodded and extended his hand for Tesla to observe.
Tesla held onto Luo Chen's arm for a long time before letting go and saying to him, "Do you mind if I take a look?"
"I don't mind. But it seems like no one but me can take this."
Luo Chen smiled and explained, taking out the Jizo Soul and handing it to Tesla.
Tesla reached out to catch it, but the Jizo Mirror Soul fell to the ground. Unconvinced, Tesla crouched down and grabbed the hilt of the sword, passing through it several times before finally giving up.
“That’s a bit strange. When you have time later, come to our Anti-Entropy headquarters and I’ll take a look at it for you.”
"Then I thank you in advance, Doctor."
"It's alright, St. Freya and Anti-Entropy are allies."
While the two were chatting, Himeko and the other two ended their conversation and walked over here.
"Dr. Tesla, it's time for us to head back."
"Alright, I'll arrange for someone to take you to the nearby airport."
Not long after, Tesla had the vehicle ready, and the group stood in front to say goodbye.
"Luo Chen, take good care of Kiana."
Siegfried remained unserious, grinning as he gave instructions to Luo Chen.
On the other side, the Thunder Dragon Horse looked at Luo Chen with a serious expression and took out a small box from its pocket and gave it to him.
"Give this to Mei, but don't say it's from me."
"What's in here?"
"A necklace, which was a birthday gift I gave to Mei, but I never got around to giving it to her."
"I will," Luo Chen said solemnly, accepting the gift.
"Take good care of Mei, and yourself too."
"Okay. We'll be going then."
After Luo Chen got into the car, watching it drive away, Siegfried approached Thunder Dragon Horse and nudged him with his elbow.
"That kid seems to have a lot of luck with women. Do you think he'll marry several in the future?"
"Who knows?"
Chapter 52 I've Become a Captain?
Luo Chen was walking down the commercial street carrying a bag, thinking about what dishes to cook when he got back, when his phone suddenly rang in his pocket.
"Himeko-sensei, what's the matter?"
"We've been dispatched on a mission. Report to the airport immediately."
"I see."
After hanging up the phone, Himeko looked at Theresa sitting in the chair, playing with her hair.
"Theresa, are you sure you want Luo Chen to go with you on this mission?"
"Isn't this taking him on as a safety net?"
Theresa fiddled with the electronic screen and said, "The promotion document has come down from headquarters. Luo Chen will have to go to headquarters after this mission."
"Seriously, this kid's progress is too fast! It's only been a little over a year since he officially enrolled, and he's already jumped straight to A-level."
"There's nothing we can do. Headquarters originally planned to promote him directly to S-rank, since Chi You is a Judgment-level Honkai Beast. But it was rejected for various reasons, so he's only A-rank."
“It’s too early to reach S-rank. You know, he was basically fighting for his life in that state.”
"That's why I forbade him from abusing it."
Theresa wore a pained expression, the screen filled with photos taken from the Hyperion: "If something happens to him, Xuan Yu will definitely come after me."
Still no news about his mother?
"No, she suddenly disappeared four years ago, and nobody knows where she went."
"Headmaster, Hyperion is ready."
While the two were chatting, Theresa received a notification on her screen. Theresa then replied to the staff member, before looking at Himeko and saying, "Himeko, hurry over there."
"Know it!"
Himeko stood up from the sofa, stretched her body casually, said goodbye to Theresa, and left the office.
Santa Freya Airport
Luo Chen saw that Ji Zi had arrived and jogged over to greet her.
"Teacher Himeko."
"Here he comes."
Himeko, dressed in military uniform, smiled as she draped her overcoat over her shoulders.
"Sister Himeko, are you not planning to go to the battlefield?"
Looking at Himeko's attire, Luo Chen knew she wasn't planning to make a move.
"Not just me, you are too."
"what?"
Luo Chen stared blankly at Ji Zi, unable to understand why he was called here if he wasn't allowed to fight.
"I called you here mainly to cover for us. This mission will be mainly carried out by others."
"Good grief, I'm here to be a tool!"
Luo Chen had no choice but to wait for the others with Ji Zi.
Not long after, Mei brought Kiana and Bronya over, with Yuno dragging Lilith along behind.
"What's wrong with you?"
"The three of them collided and haven't recovered yet."
Yuno put Lilith down and explained the scene to Luo Chen.
"Good grief, you three bumped into each other over a slice of pizza?"
