Collapse, but Stand users

A few days later, Vilvi prepared to set off to build the prison that could hold her.

"Then I'm leaving."

"Ah."

"But assistant, are you really not going to consider continuing to help me?" Velvet looked at the calm Kira Yoshikage in front of her and asked expectantly.

"No, I have other things to take care of."

"Oh, all right."

"Little Paddy, come here for a second."

"Oh...coming, coming."

Vilvi pulled Pado aside and whispered to her, "You noticed it too, didn't you? During the victory celebration, that pink-haired woman kept staring at Yoshikage Kira! You have to keep an eye on Yoshikage Kira and make sure he doesn't get fooled by that wicked woman, Alicia."

"Hey, but I don't think Sister Aili is a bad person." Pado scratched her head.

"Oh dear, you're so silly! You like assistants too, don't you? Do you think you can compete with Alicia?"

"Hmm, indeed."

"Right, right? You don't want Kira Yoshikage to be taken away by Alicia, do you?"

"Okay, I understand, Sister Velvi. I guarantee I'll complete the mission!" Pado patted her not-so-large chest and assured Velvi.

"You're a promising young man. I'll protect you from now on!" After saying that, Virvi walked towards Yoshikage Kira.

"Finished?"

"Okay, that's all. I'm off now." With that, Virvi suddenly rushed towards Yoshikage Kira.

Kira Yoshikage only felt something soft lightly touch his face. When he came to his senses, the girl in front of him was already gone.

"Heh heh, that's quite bold, Magician."

"As expected of a magician, he easily accomplished what we couldn't."

"Enough with the nonsense, it's just that you guys are too scared to go up."

The girl sat on the plane, her face flushed with embarrassment.

[Vilvie chose a remote island in the Pacific Ocean to build a prison—the deepest part of the island]

The girl, who had only been at the base for a few days, left again.

It's worth mentioning that Hua and Kevin were assigned to your tactical squad.

Considering that you saved them, Himiko has chosen to have you guide them.

Alicia also applied to become a special advisor to mentor the newcomers.

then......

"Good morning, senior, let's start training!" This is Kevin, a sunny and cheerful young man.

"Good morning, senior." This was said by the shy young girl, Hua.

"Oh, you're finally here! I think you should come earlier next time." This was said by the beautiful young girl, Alicia.

"I don't have the habit of getting up before eight in the morning." Kira Yoshikage simply replied to Alicia, then turned to Hua and Kevin and said:

"Then, let's begin training."

As the days went by, under your guidance, Hua and Kevin quickly grew and soon surpassed you in ability.

[At least that's how it appears on the surface.]

[In your peaceful life, you also discovered the special nature of Stands—Honkai energy is not immune to entering your body just because you obtain a Stand.]

Instead, it was absorbed by your substitute, the Killer Queen.

[Feeling the growing power, even you can't help but feel joy.]

"Bang." The sound of swords clashing rang out. Kira Yoshikage looked at the broken blade and gestured for the two to stop.

"You don't need to train with me anymore, you're strong enough," Yoshikage Kira said, looking at Kevin and Hua in front of him.

"I will report this to the captain and have you become official team members."

"Yes, thank you for your guidance during this time." Kevin and Hua bowed to Yoshikage Kira in gratitude.

Yoshikage Kira nodded, then turned and left.

"How is it? What are your thoughts on becoming a full member so quickly?" Alicia approached the two of them and said with a smile.

"I don't have any particular thoughts. If I had to say something, I feel like Kira-senpai didn't use his full strength."

"Oh? Why would you think that?"

"I can't really explain it, it's just a gut feeling," Kevin said, scratching his head, looking somewhat confused.

"Hmph~ Perhaps." Alicia said meaningfully.

[The training mission for the new recruits has ended, and Hua and Kevin have successfully joined your team.]

Alicia, who always acts alone, has applied to become your team's special advisor again.

"Look, it's him."

"Ok?"

"It seems that Alicia suddenly joined their team because of him."

"Oh?"

"Moreover, after the Third Herrscher was destroyed, it was he who brought Alicia back."

"Ouch!"

"It seems he still has an ambiguous relationship with Patto and Dr. Velvi."

"Harmful."

"You two, what are you making such a racket about during training! Add two more sets of weight training." After saying that, Himiko walked up to Yoshikage Kira, patted him on the shoulder, and said earnestly, "You better not become a scumbag."

Kira Yoshikage twitched the corner of his mouth, nodded, and said, "I understand."

After training, Yoshikage Kira stopped Alicia and said, "I think we need to talk."

“Okay, let’s talk in your room then.” Alicia thought for a moment, nodded, and said to Yoshikage Kira.

Seeing the shocked expressions on everyone's faces, Yoshikage Kira's face darkened.

......

"The boss is back! Today we're eating..." Seeing the gloomy-faced Yoshikage Kira in front of her, Pado wisely shut her mouth.

Kira Yoshikage walked over to the sofa and sat down. Alicia followed and sat down as well. Remembering Virvi's instructions, Pado also sat down.

Looking at Paddo who had sat down, Alicia said to her, "Little Paddo, could you excuse me for a moment? Kira Yoshikage and I have something to say to each other."

"Oh... alright." Seeing the somewhat threatening look in Alicia's eyes, Pado got up to leave.

"Sit down." A calm voice came, and Pado, who had just lifted her bottom, put it back down.

"Wait, you can't..." Alicia said in a panic.

Facing Alicia's pleading gaze, Kira Yoshikage smiled, then nodded, interrupting her.

“Alicia is a Herrscher, Padma.”

The light in Alicia's eyes faded, and she could no longer revive.

"Hey, Alice is a Herrscher? Whoa, Alice, why did you turn gray? Cheer up, Alice!" The cat looked at Alice in shock, only to find her sitting there blankly with a look of utter despair.

"Waaaaah, Pado, I'm a Herrscher, waaaaah." Ai Li looked at the cat beside her with a concerned expression and jumped into her arms.

"It's okay, Sister Airi. Even if you're a Herrscher, you're still our good friend."

"Oh...really?"

"Of course, even though we're not the smartest, we can still tell that Sister Aili is a good person." Pado looked at Aili in her arms, patting her back as she comforted her.

"Oh, Pado, you're so kind."

"Do you understand? Even if you're a Herrscher, there will still be people who accept you and care about you." Sitting to the side, Yoshikage Kira looked at Alicia in Paddo's arms and said to her.

"So you don't need to keep watching me. Just do what you want." With that, Yoshikage Kira got up to prepare dinner.

At dinner, Kira Yoshikage looked at Alicia, who was sitting and about to eat, and asked with a frown, "Aren't you leaving yet?"

Alicia pouted and said aggrievedly, "You've already told everyone the biggest secret of a young girl, and you won't even let me get a free meal?"

Yoshikage Kira didn't say anything and returned to his seat.

"At worst, I'll wash the dishes for you?"

Kira Yoshikage frowned and shook his head after looking at the girl's hand. "No need."

"However, I will continue to serve as your team's special advisor."

"up to you."

......

"Hey, did you know that someone saw Alicia coming out of Kira Yoshikage's room very late last night?"

"Ouch."

Kira Yoshikage's face darkened.

'I need to keep her away from me most of the time.'
