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

Yes! That's how it should be, but why can't she actually do it?

Memories from her time with St. Freya kept replaying in her mind, and the scene of the boy desperately holding back the witch to save her kept replaying, causing Wendy's body to tremble uncontrollably.

Unaware of the girl's wavering, Theresa simply gave a weak and gentle smile and said, "Wendy, I know I'm not worthy to be your teacher, but Himeko and the others are innocent. Let's not let hatred spread any further."

And Himeko, you already know about the Moon Throne, so the rest is up to you.

As for what comes after you… trust Shihen and the others; those children have grown up.”

As she spoke, Theresa's smile brightened.

She learned of the boy's actions through the Hyperion's signal relay and felt incredibly fortunate.

Perhaps the best decision she ever made was to take the boy into St. Freya back then.

She believed that if the boy were given a little more time, he would definitely grow into someone who would amaze everyone.

At this moment, she somewhat understood why Einstein and the others seemed indifferent to He Hen's betrayal of Anti-Entropy.

The boy's conviction was so strong that even she was amazed!

Thinking of this, Theresa couldn't help but reach out and smooth Wendy's slightly messy hair, and said softly, "Wendy, I know I'm no longer in a position to advise you, but you know Shihen and the others now."

From now on, try to trust them more...

"Theresa!"

"Headmaster!"

"Auntie!"

Seeing the nun looking like she was giving her last instructions, Himeko and the others immediately became anxious, and Kiana even tried to rush up and kick Wendy away without thinking.

But before anyone else could act, Wendy had already released the strength in her hands and rushed into Theresa's arms... no, I mean, she embraced the petite Theresa.

In the end, the girl still chose to believe in the feelings between people.

Moreover, if Wendy were to truly choose revenge, she felt she would never be able to face the boy who risked his life to save her.

Looking at the still unconscious boy, Wendy's last bit of resolve softened completely.

"..."

Feeling the girl's already rather impressive bosom, Theresa's mind went blank for a moment.

But then, she gently hugged the girl's still somewhat thin back and said, "Welcome home, Wendy."

Having already made one mistake, she wouldn't let Wendy down again.

Chapter Thirty: The Boy Tries to Maintain Team Harmony

The fourth Honkai Impact has ended.

Although the Honkai Beasts active in New Zealand have not been completely eradicated, and the reconstruction of the Oceania branch has not yet begun, the fact that the Anti-Entropy forces are taking the opportunity to infiltrate Oceania is causing many people in Schicksal a great deal of trouble.

However, with Wendy, the Fourth Herrscher, defecting from the Honkai faction, the Fourth Honkai Impact can be declared over.

As for the residual problems caused by this collapse, they are not something that the few people on the Hyperion can solve. It is a wound that would require the intervention of fate and the local country to mobilize a large amount of manpower and resources and spend several months or even years to eliminate.

While the resolution of the collapse relied on the efforts of the heroes, the number of people affected by it has always been in the hundreds of thousands.

Of course, these things have little to do with the boy who aspires to become the mastermind behind the world. At this moment, he is facing a situation that even the mastermind behind the world finds troublesome.

"Wendy? What are you doing here?"

Pushing open the door to the ward, Kiana immediately saw a green-haired girl sitting on a chair by the bed, and her face showed obvious confusion.

You know, she rushed over right after breakfast to take care of the boy who was injured in the battle, and Wendy was even earlier than her?

But then, upon seeing the bowl of seafood porridge in the girl's hand, the white-fuzzy dumpling felt relieved.

They've brought breakfast to the hospital!

"That, that..."

Noticing Kiana's suspicious gaze, Wendy immediately stammered, the spoonful of porridge she was holding hanging in mid-air, unsure whether to continue feeding the boy.

In their brief encounter, she had already sensed the overly intimate relationship between the white-haired girl and the boy, which made her feel a sense of guilt for violating taboos.

"Hen, do you have anything to explain?"

Mei's gaze fell on the boy who was sitting against the headboard, his face slightly pale, and her eyes narrowed slightly.

She sensed something was amiss.

After all, she herself often does this kind of thing... oh wait, Kiana is still too oblivious to understand what feelings are, so her relationship with the boy is completely reasonable and legal.

"Well, Wendy seems to think that I got hurt because of her, so she feels bad and wants to take care of me."

Shihen tried to explain.

He couldn't understand why Wendy had arrived so early.

They even brought him breakfast and forcibly fed him, not giving him a chance to do anything himself.

He had clearly gone out of his way to create a master-disciple bond between Wendy and Theresa, so Wendy should have been exchanging feelings with Theresa at that moment.

To resolve Wendy's inner conflict, he very kindly created a misunderstanding between the two and set up an environment where Theresa had no choice but to come.

Even when fighting Wendy and Yae Sakura, he couldn't stop talking about Theresa and St. Freya, just to reinforce the impression in the girl's mind.

As the saying goes, "The fragrance of plum blossoms comes from bitter cold, and the sharpest sword is forged through tempering."

Shihen believes that after experiencing such a breakdown and rebuilding of trust, Wendy's heart will be stronger, and her relationship with Theresa will reach a new level.

And what happened afterward was exactly as he had expected.

After bringing Wendy back to St. Freya, Theresa immediately let the girl stay at her place, without even considering the all-powerful Himeko-brand shelter.

This is clearly proof of the growing teacher-student relationship between the two.

But... can someone explain to him why Wendy would come here so early in the morning?

Although the Fourth Honkai Impact has ended, an even greater crisis is looming. Can't these people have a little sense of urgency?

At this point, even if you don't have an in-depth conversation with Theresa, it would be more meaningful to go to the training room and do a hundred or so simulation exercises, right?

"Yes, yes, it's all because of me that Hen got so badly injured, so... I'll take full responsibility."

Upon hearing the boy's words, Wendy nodded hastily as if she had grasped a lifeline, and subconsciously put the spoonful of porridge in her hand into her mouth.

Then, the next second, the girl realized what she had done and her face turned red instantly.

"..."

Seeing this, Mei's eyes sharpened even more.

She was quite certain that the bowl of porridge was prepared for the boy, so... could this be considered an indirect kiss?

In an instant, a murderous look appeared on the girl's face.

"There's no need for Miss Wendy to trouble you with this. I will take good care of Hen."

With a smile, Mei spoke, her gentle tone revealing an unyielding resolve.

"Yes, Auntie and the others said that Hen's injuries only look serious, and he will recover after a period of rest."

Wendy, you don't need to blame yourself.

Kiana nodded in agreement.

The boy's injuries were mainly due to the heavy load placed on his body by forcibly controlling the mecha, and did not reach the level of truly breaking bones.

Moreover, even though he can't compare to a physical monster like Kiana, the young man [Shihen]'s physique is still far stronger than that of an ordinary person, so he wouldn't be half-dead from a minor injury.

Therefore, even though she was also very concerned about Shihen, Kiana wasn't particularly anxious, much less so about making a mountain out of a molehill by bringing the hospital's best doctors and nurses here.

Inheriting Kaslana's bloodline, Kiana may have many minor flaws, but she has always been very clear-headed when it comes to matters of principle.

Even though a significant portion of Shihen's injuries were caused by Wendy, the girl didn't hold it against her much, and certainly wouldn't rant about courting death.

Kiana sat down naturally beside the boy's bed, handed him a thermal food container, and said with a smile, "Hen, you probably haven't eaten yet, have you?"

Eat it while it's hot, the taste will change if it gets cold.

As she spoke, Kiana looked at the boy with eager eyes, as if anticipating his evaluation.

Shi Hen: “…”

If you two had arrived any later, I would have already finished eating.

But glancing at the green-haired girl next to him with her face flushed red, Shihen very considerately refrained from exposing her.

Opening the food box revealed a seafood congee, complete with small pieces of fish and a few shrimp. The aroma was so enticing that it whetted one's appetite.

Just by looking at it, you can't imagine something like this being made by a white fuzzy dumpling.

He had complete confidence in the girl.

"Did Mei make it?"

Taking a spoonful and savoring the delicious flavor that burst in his mouth, Shihen couldn't help but smile.

"I helped too!"

Seeing that the boy had guessed the truth so quickly, Kiana immediately became angry.

"Want to try some?"

Shihen rolled his eyes at the ungrateful little dumpling.

Bearing the curse of Kaslana, the highest respect you can show to the kitchen is to stay as far away from it as possible.

Yeah, the farther the better.

"Hmph! Just you wait, I'll definitely make you look at me in a new light!"

Kiana pointed a finger at the boy's head and shouted with one hand on her hip.

She had been secretly studying cookbooks, believing that one day she would be able to cook as delicious meals as the boy and Mei.

"I'm impressed." Shihen corrected helplessly, then looked at the girl with long, straight black hair who had been smiling at him and nodded gently with a smile. "The porridge was delicious today. Mei, you must have put a lot of thought into it."

"How does it compare to others?"

With a light laugh, Mei asked, her slightly narrowed eyes revealing a silent threat.

Kiana is an idiot, so she won't hold it against the other party, but Wendy... although she feels quite sorry for the girl's plight, she won't budge an inch on this one matter.

Even if she is usually very generous, she is not that generous.

"Well..."

Facing the girl's demanding gaze, Shihen simply gave an awkward but polite smile.

Objectively speaking, Mei's cooking skills are indeed much better than Wendy's.

But someone as perceptive as him wouldn't point out a girl's shortcomings to her face.

Of course, Kiana is an exception; it would be a real tragedy if I didn't point that out.

Moreover, the white fluffy ball has always been thick-skinned and won't hold a grudge over such things.

"Hen, did you sneak some snacks in the hospital room again?!"

Kiana sensed the "truth" from the boy's behavior and immediately became alert.

When she was hospitalized for some reason, Shihen would even control how many pieces of fried chicken she ate. Now she's actually sneaking some on her own?

This is really unreasonable!

Meiyi: "..."

She felt that this idiot's brain had reached the point where he needed to see a doctor.

If you had just looked at Wendy quietly drinking her porridge without daring to say a word, you would never have asked such a brainless question.

"Ahem..." Clearing his throat, Shihen immediately used the topic-changing tactic, "Wendy, did the headmistress mention what the headquarters' attitude towards you is?"

A qualified leader must strive to make everyone on the team feel at home.

In front of Kiana and the others, Wendy was clearly not very sociable.

Even though there wasn't much of an age gap among them, Wendy, who had just joined the team, clearly couldn't immediately fit into the atmosphere.

Therefore, he needs to give the other party a little guidance and help.
