Starting from the Collapse World, I became the behind-the-scenes boss

If you ignore his size and the fact that the bowl only contains noodles, his shouts sound quite like those chivalrous heroes in martial arts stories who drink and eat meat.

This is your fifth bowl already.

Shihen kindly reminded him.

He still can't understand what the point of an armed doll having an eating function is, especially since it eats more than a white fur ball.

"A customer's great appetite is the best compliment for a chef."

The Cangxuan Book, which was not much larger than the bowl in front of him, made a serious statement.

"Thank you, but I don't think it's necessary anymore."

Shihen filled another bowl of noodles for the Cangxuan Book and pointed to the two white-haired people beside him.

For someone with a big appetite, these two are enough.

Even though she looked listless today, Kiana ate the same amount he and Mei combined.

"Theresa, do you think Fu Hua should pay for my food expenses?"

Himeko asked earnestly.

Since acquiring the Book of Azure Mystery, the family's daily expenses have been steadily increasing.

Following the typical plot of the novel, they should have been able to make a fortune with their ancient technology after unearthing the Book of Cangxuan, but in the end... she felt that there was just another freeloader in the family.

Theresa is more than enough of those guys who just eat and don't work.

"I have a feeling you're talking badly about me behind my back!"

Theresa's gaze sharpened instantly.

"Haha~ How could that be?" Himeko quickly denied, "When would I talk badly about you behind your back?"

Himeko Murata has always spoken openly and honestly.

She not only talks the talk, but she also dares to physically assault people.

"Hmph! You'd better not get caught by me, or else..."

With that, Theresa let out a cold laugh that posed no threat whatsoever.

Looking at the fierce yet adorable headmistress, Himeko kept her eyes down and remained silent without offering any rebuttal.

Today is only the second day of the new year, let's give the headmaster some face.

After a noisy breakfast, the group set off for St. Freya Airport.

There, a massive airship, over two hundred meters long, was ready to depart.

"Goodbye, Miss Durandal, come visit again sometime."

Shihen waved to the blonde Valkyrie and said sincerely.

Upon hearing this, Theresa's expression changed slightly.

Having reached an agreement with Anti-Entropy, she was already prepared to become the leader of the rebellion.

At this moment, what Theresa wanted most was peace and quiet, preferably no one from headquarters, so that she could make all the necessary preparations for her rebellion.

But things didn't go as planned. Durandal's gaze swept over everyone, a faint smile appearing on her lips, and she said, "If I have time, I will."

Although she didn't have a deep understanding of St. Freya's philosophy, during her time there, she saw that there was still a group of excellent Valkyries in this academy.

"Hmph!" Upon hearing this, Kiana immediately jumped out, put one hand on her hip, pointed at the strongest Valkyrie, and said, "Durandal!"

When we meet again, I'll definitely beat you!

She was unwilling to lose to this guy no matter what.

"A very good will." Looking at the white-haired girl whose face was bursting with boundless energy, Durandal's smile deepened. "However, I hope that when we meet again, you will have the strength to match this will."

Although there are still many things she doesn't understand, she still sincerely hopes that Kiana can become stronger so that she can resist the fate imposed on her.

Taking Durandal's words as a provocation, Kiana became even angrier and shouted, "I will definitely defeat you!"

Durandal simply smiled, waved to the group, and then walked into the cabin with Rita.

Under the watchful eyes of Shihen, Theresa, and some students still remaining in St. Freya, the airship gradually rose and quickly shrank and disappeared into the clouds.

"Theresa! I need to undergo special training!"

Upon seeing Durandal disappear, Kiana immediately called out to a certain over-aged loli.

"Oh? Are you sure? There are still several days until St. Freya's school starts~"

Theresa, no longer bothered to correct the way she addressed her silly niece, raised an eyebrow and asked.

"I want special training!"

Kiana spoke each word clearly and deliberately, her face revealing unwavering determination.

Having already made her tough statement, she has no intention of giving up halfway.

When that Durandal returns, she'll definitely teach her a lesson.

"Principal, I want to participate in the special training too!"

Mei also stepped forward and spoke up.

Even though she had already earned the title of B-rank Valkyrie, the mission with the Tranquil Gem made the girl realize that she was still very weak.

Moreover, weakness is weakness; there's no need to find excuses like the task being too difficult.

After all, that [Walter White] wouldn't make an exception for them just because they were weak.

"Bronya too."

Bronya said so.

"I'm just like my sister Bronya."

Seele retorted, not to be outdone.

As a result, the pressure instantly fell on Shihen.

Unaffected by the crowd's emotions, Shi Hen calmly said, "I still have some information I want to look up, so..."

"Hey, come on over! We're a team!"

Kiana grabbed the boy's shoulder, not wanting to miss the opportunity.

"What's wrong with you guys? You've suddenly become so energetic, like you've been injected with chicken blood?"

Himeko looked like she was questioning the meaning of life.

Although these children are not lazy on weekdays, surely they don't have to work so hard even during their holidays?

"Isn't this a good thing?" Theresa rolled her eyes at Himeko, a slight smile playing on her lips. "Besides, with Fu Hua gone, Bronya and the others are short one person."

With only five people, it's impossible to form two teams for competitive training.

"Come on, I finally finished all that work, and I wanted to stay home and lie down for a few more days."

Himeko immediately refused.

"Alright, it's settled then. Let's all head to the training ground!"

Showing no respect for her subordinate's opinion, Theresa pulled out Judah, tied Himeko up, and carried her to the front.

In the bleak, cold wind, the Valkyrie's red hair fluttered in the wind, like a bright flag.

Chapter 252 The Silly Goose and the Riddle Fox

Meanwhile, shortly after the warship departed St. Freya, the two S-rank Valkyries of the Undying Blade also encountered an uninvited guest.

"Lady Durandal, Lady Rita, this..."

Upon seeing the pink-haired woman docked on the warship's deck on the monitor screen, the Valkyries in the bridge room immediately turned serious.

Although in a sense, this Herrscher is now an ally of Schicksal.

However, the alliance between the two sides can be considered broken after the failed siege of Walter White.

Sensing the gazes of the Valkyries around her, Durandal made her decision after only a few seconds of thought: "Let her in."

Since Yae Sakura did not make any offensive move, it proves that the other party did not come with hostility.

Having worked together several times before, she was willing to give the other party some trust.

Soon, as Captain Durandal gave the order, the alloy hatch that had been blocking Yae Sakura's way slowly opened.

Before long, Durandal and Rita met the Herrscher from the Serpent Organization in the warship's lounge.

"It's been a long time, Miss Durandal, Miss Rita."

Upon seeing the two, Yae Sakura greeted them politely.

"For us, Schicksal, this period of time isn't very long, is it, Miss Sakura?" Rita smiled slightly as she looked at the pink-haired woman whose demeanor had become much gentler and more refined after changing into a shrine maiden's outfit. "Or should I call you [Kasumi]?"

"To me, there is no difference between the two."

Sensing the hostile intent in the maid's words, Yae Sakura replied casually.

"Rita, calm down." Durandal whispered to her adjutant, her gaze becoming much more serious as she looked at Yae Sakura. "Please speak frankly, Sakura."

She prefers a more direct approach to conversation to polite, insincere exchanges.

“Very well, then I won’t stand on ceremony.” Yae Sakura nodded slightly to Durandal and sat down opposite the two Valkyries. After a slight pause, she continued, “To be honest, the reason I came here this time is actually to form an alliance with you, Schicksal, as White’s envoy.”

"white?"

Durandal frowned slightly.

"Can I take this to mean that you and Gray Serpent have already sided with that Anti-Entropy Alliance Leader?"

Rita smiled slightly, but a hint of coldness flickered in her slightly narrowed eyes.

If what happened in Singapore last time was just a show, then the Snake Organization was undoubtedly toying with the entire Destiny.

“I would prefer Miss Rita to see this as a transaction.” Unfazed by Rita’s imposing manner, Yae Sakura’s smile remained gentle. “Bai has already proven that he possesses power no less than most Lords. There is no point in continuing to fight against him.”

"If that's the case, then what leverage do you have to make a deal with him?"

Rita smiled and pressed on, her lips curving into a sarcastic smile.

"From beginning to end, what Bai wanted most was to prove himself."

Therefore, until the supreme and strongest Lord Kevin returns, the entire Serpent Organization will regard him as the acting Lord and assist him in accomplishing the great task of saving the world.

Yae Sakura answered calmly.

"Um... actually, there's something I've been wanting to ask for a while now."

What exactly is a Lord?

Suddenly, Durandal spoke up.

Although she had heard it from Yae Sakura and Welt White several times, she still didn't understand what the Lord meant.

"..." Yae Sakura gave Durandal a deep look, as if surprised that the other party knew so little. After hesitating for a moment, she continued, "The so-called Lord refers to the Moths of Fire... which are the thirteen last and most powerful warriors from the pre-civilization period that you mentioned."

Their power surpasses that of the Herrschers, their existence is as eternal as the stars, and their will is more dazzling than the sun.

To us, the Lord is a god, the only being capable of leading humanity to victory against the Honkai.

"..."

Upon hearing Yae Sakura's description, Durandal and Rita fell silent.

They did believe that warriors from the previous civilization could defeat the Herrschers.

But the latter two... are you sure you're not promoting some kind of cult?

Don't think you're a missionary just because you're dressed as a shrine maiden!

Moreover, even if you say that, the only former civilization warrior they have ever seen is Fu Hua, and she doesn't have much power left now.

"You just said Kevin will come back? Is he still alive?"

Ignoring the exaggerated descriptions, Durandal focused on the key points and asked.

"Of course, the lives of the lords are eternal and immortal; even death cannot defeat them."

Yae Sakura said in a matter-of-fact tone.
