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

If he can't even do this, then he doesn't deserve to be with Kiana and the others.

"Um~"

Anna looked up and met the boy's gaze. She immediately felt the deep concern in his eyes, and her cheeks flushed instantly. She also let out muffled moans.

After a long while, Anna overcame her growing shyness and mustered her courage to say, "Charity..."

"What do you think, Alliance Leader Shihen? I could do some charity work."

The road to becoming a mother is still quite long, so she naturally needs to find other things to do.

Considering this, Valkyries, who are often involved in fighting, are not so suitable.

"Great.

The collapse has been resolved, and Destiny is investing more and more manpower and resources into post-disaster reconstruction. The public welfare sector will need manpower for a long time to come.

Moreover, if it were Anna, I believe you could definitely help many people.

Shihen smiled and said.

The mission to combat the Honkai has ended, and Schicksal must inevitably transform into a philanthropic organization with a gentle image.

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

In the inevitable interstellar age, how Destiny will integrate the many nations on Earth into a single regime is a headache for Durandal and future bishops.

"Hmm... Alliance Leader Shihen, don't you think this is a bit cowardly?"

Meeting the boy's gentle gaze, Anna asked in a tone tinged with hesitation.

Even though it's a natural trend for Valkyries to dedicate themselves to public welfare, Anna still possesses the power of the Herrscher of Ice, and she's unsure if she can truly be so willful.

"Anna...do you think what I'm doing right now is irresponsible?"

Looking at the timid-looking snow-haired girl, Shihen couldn't help but sigh deeply and ask.

"No! Alliance Leader Shihen is definitely not that kind of person!"

Anna answered without hesitation.

Even after returning to Earth, the boy seemed to have done nothing serious, instead spending his time with one girl after another in a nearly debauched manner...

However, having made indelible contributions to the fight against the collapse, the young man naturally deserves a good rest.

Moreover, this can be considered another kind of "responsibility".

Thinking of this, Anna's cheeks flushed red again.

"So, Anna, whatever future you choose—whether you become a Valkyrie, an ordinary office worker, or simply focus on being a wife and mother—as long as it's a result you've carefully considered, I will do my best to support you."

Shihen smiled and said in a firm tone.

Even Bronya has switched to game development, so who can say that Anna has to fight as a Valkyrie forever?

As one of the heroes who save the world, Anna should naturally have the freedom to lay down her weapons.

"Woo~~"

Anna's cheeks flushed red as if they were on fire, as if her most private parts had been touched.

"..."

He couldn't help but take another look at the snow-haired girl, and Shihen's heart couldn't help but flutter.

When Anna fully revealed her shy side, the impact on him was truly enormous.

and……

As his gaze swept over the table, now reduced to mere remnants, Shihen's Adam's apple bobbed, and his eyes suddenly darkened.

"Anna..."

He spoke in a low voice, his tone becoming noticeably hoarse.

Now that dinner time is over, it's time to start tonight's main course.

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this, Anna looked up and the next second she saw the boy's face suddenly close to hers, and at the same time her lips felt a soft touch.

"Well--"

Anna was speechless for a moment, feeling her body go limp. Only by relying on the boy could she barely maintain her balance and avoid collapsing completely.

Without even thinking of regaining control of her body, Anna gradually closed her eyes, pouring all her energy and thought into this first kiss that was hers.

……

It took a long time before they were able to separate from the passionate kiss. Anna opened her eyes in a daze and saw the boy's handsome face, which was also flushed.

"Is it alright, Anna?"

As his hand moved down the girl's delicate shoulder, Shihen asked softly.

Still too shy to utter a single word, Anna stood on tiptoe and answered with her actions.

"Well--"

Having received Anna's response, Shihen no longer hesitated and, amidst a passionate kiss, led the girl toward the bedroom.

Tonight is the time for the snow lotus to bloom.

P.S.: Although there was some emotional build-up, it felt like Wendy and Anna pushed things a bit too fast, like they went straight to sex after their first kiss..._(°ω°」∠)_

Chapter Fourteen: Anna's Morning Charm, Mei's Gentle Words Set the Stage

sand~

The morning light shone into the room through the sheer curtains. Shihen had just moved his body to get up and prepare breakfast for Anna when the still drowsy girl reflexively grabbed one of his arms.

"Alliance Leader Time Trace...is it already morning...?"

Anna's snow-white hair was disheveled and loose. Her eyes were only slightly open, and she was mumbling incoherently in a low murmur.

"It's still early, you should get some more sleep."

Seeing the girl's incredibly languid and charming appearance, Shihen couldn't help but smile slightly. He gently stroked the girl's cheek with his fingers and whispered in an extremely gentle voice.

Although Anna's stamina ranks among the top of all the Herrschers, aside from Durandal and Kiana, her opponent is still relatively inexperienced and can be easily manipulated by him.

Of course, considering that it was the girl's first time, Shihen did not torment her too much. He simply let Anna deeply experience the wonder of the new world before falling asleep in the girl's arms.

Or rather, aside from the extremely competitive Durandal and Peggy who always overestimates her abilities and wants to challenge opponents of higher levels, Shihen rarely extends the battle time to its limit.

After all, they have a long time to spend together in the future, so Shihen is not in a hurry to take advantage of all these girls so quickly.

In each subsequent exchange, we discover something new, which is part of the fun of it all.

"Um~"

Sensing the boy's deep concern, Anna's eyes, which had only been slightly open, immediately closed again, and her breathing became even again.

Although her physical fatigue had been completely relieved after a night's rest, she felt a deep sense of satisfaction from the heart, and her body was so lazy that she didn't want to move a single finger.

It was as if as long as she could hold the boy like this, she would never get tired of it, even if it took another ten thousand years.

"Alliance Leader Time Trace..."

Anna wrapped her arms naturally around the boy's waist and couldn't help but whisper her name.

"Ok?"

Seeing that the girl had regained some consciousness, Shihen gave a stern snort and reached out to pinch the girl's smooth and soft cheek, lifting it slightly.

"Well……"

A soft moan escaped her throat, and Anna's eyes widened as she met the boy's teasing gaze. She could only stammer, "Shi...Shihen..."

As she spoke this much more intimate term of endearment than before, the girl's eyes instantly welled up with tears.

Although she wasn't actually unhappy with the change, the thought of the boy tormenting her while trying to change how he addressed her made her resentful.

"Alright, let's continue to rest, it's still early."

A satisfied smile appeared on his face, and Shihen gently leaned down to place a kiss on the girl's forehead, as if a spring breeze had brushed against her.

Even though he had already developed the habit of getting up early to cook breakfast for the girl who was by his side, since Anna was behaving so sweetly, he could only accompany her and enjoy this rare morning a little longer.

"Um……"

Muttering softly, Anna cleared her mind of all distractions and, embracing the boy, drifted back into sleep.

-------------------------------------

St. Freya, Teachers' Meeting Room.

"...This concludes our teaching plan for this month. I hope everyone will put in their best efforts to cultivate more outstanding Valkyries for this world."

Her gaze swept over the group of teachers before her, who were far more glamorous than those at St. Freya before her, and Theresa, who was not tall, tried her best to adopt a dignified posture as she spoke.

"Don't worry, Theresa."

"With headquarters providing so much support, it would be too humiliating if we were to become a laughingstock."

Upon hearing this, Himeko, who had been promoted to head of teaching, waved her hand and said with a confident smile on her mature face.

Although it's clear to anyone with eyes to see St. Freya's extraordinary position in the new destiny, those who have suffered losses because of it naturally cannot allow St. Freya to grow stronger in peace.

Even though they dared not make many moves openly due to the authority of headquarters, they never stopped using underhanded tactics against St. Freya.

As for these minor conflicts, the Destiny Headquarters is not in a position to intervene.

Or, to put it another way, if St. Freya cannot even overcome these challenges, it only means that she is unable to shoulder the heavy responsibilities she bears.

"That's right, Ms. Theresa, we will definitely not let you and headquarters down!"

One of the teachers responded solemnly, while the rest of the group wore confident expressions, as if they were eager to make a name for themselves.

Elite Valkyries who have stepped down from the front lines, outstanding teachers from all over the world... Despite their different identities, they are all elites in their respective fields and naturally have their own pride.

"Yes, I feel much more at ease with what you all have to say. Let's work hard together this coming month."

With a slight nod and a smile spreading across her face, Theresa glanced around.

As soon as the order to disband was issued, the teachers of St. Freya quickly packed their belongings and left. Before long, only Theresa, Himeko, and a certain black-haired girl who exuded an increasingly mature and gentle aura remained in the large conference room.

Ugh, this is so annoying!

Theresa, why don't you just let Mei be the head of student affairs? I need to retire quickly and find a good man to marry!

After all, unlike you who don't have this kind of pressure at all, I've already reached this age.

As soon as the conference room became empty, Himeko instantly lost her serious demeanor in front of outsiders. She slumped onto the conference table and looked at the white-haired nun with a lazy, indifferent gaze, completely disregarding the fact that the huge sins on her chest were being flattened and trying to break free from her collar.

"You bomb-wielding woman! Don't try to pin everything on me!"

Upon hearing this, Theresa's forehead veins throbbed involuntarily.

After using the anti-Honkai serum delivered by the boy in his white mask identity, Himeko's symptoms of Honkai energy erosion have essentially disappeared, and her lifespan, which had been shortened due to the artificial stigmata, has been restored.

From this perspective, the constraints that once prevented Himeko from entering into romantic relationships have disappeared.

So, if the other person still can't find a partner, it's their own fault, and it has absolutely nothing to do with her!

"Also, I'm just growing a little slower. I'll definitely keep growing in the future, so don't look at me like I'm a child!"

Theresa glared fiercely at the red-haired Valkyrie's oppressed white fullness and shouted loudly, her eyes filled with jealousy and resentment.

What she hates most is being treated like a child, but unfortunately there's always someone who likes to bring up things that are hard to swallow.

"With Himeko-sensei's looks and qualities, she must have many suitors by now, right?"

Mei was already used to seeing Theresa and Himeko complaining like this, so she shook her head and smiled helplessly, though a hint of emotion still lingered in her beautiful dark purple eyes.

Even though she had seen how these two interacted back when she was a student several years ago, now that she was a teacher herself, she felt that the other person seemed to care less and less about their image in front of her.

"Sigh, let's not talk about those guys anymore. There are just too few good men in this world..."

Finding no comfort in the girl's words, Himeko remained dejected. "Only you, Mei, can be fed by Tokihime anytime. If you're my age and still haven't found a partner, you'll understand how I feel right now."

"Huh? Hime-Himeko, what are you talking about? This is still St. Freya!"

Despite her childlike appearance, Theresa is a mature adult at heart. She immediately understood the red-haired Valkyrie's line and blushed.

"Huh? I was talking about Shihen's excellent cooking skills. He always manages to feed Mei to her heart's content."
