Chapter 126 Two A-Rank Valkyries
Serapem shrank under the covers, and the others began to focus their attention back on Kiana's clothes.
"You don't want my coat? What do you want then? It's too late to go back and get you one. Do you want me to call in sick for you?"
Qiong scratched his head helplessly. It seemed that Kiana meant it that way, but he was in the wrong this time, so he just went along with Kiana.
Perhaps sensing Sora's helplessness, Raiden Mei intervened.
"Kiana, it's really not appropriate for you to wear Sora's coat. You can borrow mine for now."
"Mei's coat? Great! Mei, you're so kind!"
As she spoke, Raiden Mei began to unbutton her clothes. Kiana watched intently as Raiden Mei unbuttoned one button after another, then quickly took the clothes and put them on.
"Hehehe, Mei's clothes..."
Although the size wasn't quite right, it was Raiden Mei's clothes! She felt warm and comfortable inside! Kiana, feeling quite pleased with herself, even gave a smug hum to Sora.
Raiden Mei looked out the window. Although it was getting warmer, it was still a bit cold.
"Qiong, I'm a little cold, you..."
What Raiden Mei didn't say explicitly, Bronya made it clear for her.
"Sora, quickly take off your coat and give it to Mei-neechan!"
"No, I don't agree!"
Seeing that Raiden Mei had this idea, Kiana began to take off her coat.
We can't let Mei and Sora get so close, otherwise it'll be hard for me to steal them away!
After Kiana forcefully handed the coat back to Raiden Mei, she took Sora's coat instead, preferring to spend more time with Sora herself rather than let Sora and Mei become closer!
The three of them looked at Kiana with a somewhat...special gaze? There was confusion, resentment, and helplessness.
"Alright, everyone, go back to class now."
Kiana felt uneasy under their gaze and told everyone to go back to class.
"Sera is feeling so bad..."
As soon as Kiana urged her, Serapham started sobbing again.
"Gray Hair, does she have feelings for you?"
"Forehead……"
Based on the statements of Serapem and Sora, everyone judged that Serapem had taken the initiative to approach Sora.
"Sora, it's time to go, or Himeko-sensei will get angry!"
"Mei, wait for me!"
Raiden Mei pulled Sora away from the infirmary, followed by Kiana and Bronya, leaving Seraph alone inside.
After the others left, Serapem jumped out of bed.
"Brother Qiong..."
He would even help a complete stranger like Sera who had fallen on the roadside. Even if the little girl was being unreasonable and wanted him to hug her and put a hat on her, he would still selectively accept it... Although he didn't pamper Sera as much as before, he was still the kind-hearted Qiong.
But everything changed after those three older sisters came in. They stole all his attention, and he was insignificant compared to them. By the way, Brother Qiong said that he, like Brother Lithost, was also from another star. Is this because this is his home?
If Sora could be "bonded" to, she would have already made Sora remember everything from the past as Serim had requested, but her abilities were too weak to do so...
A feeling called jealousy is growing in Serapem's heart. Now that something unexpected has happened, hurry up and go find Baiji.
"Brother, you'll definitely come back, right?"
----------------
"Qiong, there are so many scammers among the girls outside. You must not be fooled by any girl who jumps out from the street!"
Raiden Mei feigned anger, seriously considering whether to give Sora a good scolding. How could he be fooled by a little girl who had fallen on the roadside?
Locking the door after entering the room is a form of security awareness.
But scolding her won't work, because Kiana will go against her.
"Oh, Mei, after all, he's Little Gray Hair! A self-proclaimed superhero, a delusional teenager! When I first met him, he saved a girl who was surrounded by thugs! He just loves helping others and rescuing damsels in distress!"
"If I could, I would prefer the phrase 'saving lives and healing the wounded'."
Seeing Kiana leaning towards him, Qiong decisively echoed her.
"Kiana, don't protect him. I'm teaching him so he won't get tricked one day!"
"No, no, who could possibly fool him?"
Seeing that Raiden Mei was unhappy with Sora's daily acts of heroism and helping others (and possibly even wearing Sora's clothes), Kiana had a new plan: to stir things up, create rifts, and take advantage of the situation!
Furthermore, if necessary, she would be willing to slightly "seduce" Sora, to make Sora's heart leave Raiden Mei, then...
"Hey hey hey..."
"What are you grinning about, you idiot Kiana?"
------------
At a certain point in time, Hyperion 11.
Harboring the idea of "stepping out of her comfort zone," Erdős Helia, a Hungarian Valkyrie of Destiny A-rank and one of the first two professional astronauts in the Mars exploration program, submitted her resume to Walter after only three seconds of thought. Of course, what arrived earlier than the new life she had anticipated was the anxiety and worry caused by the long voyage: What if the spaceship explodes midway? What if she encounters aliens? What if she can't adapt to Earth? What if she can't watch the live broadcast of Durandal's special interview? But fortunately, she has a wonderful companion who is good at "creating joy out of nothing," and under the other's influence, she regains her healthy and sunny mindset.
Right now, she's writing her flight log in her cabin on the Hyperion 11. After all, expecting Coralie Planck, who casually became an A-rank Valkyrie, to work diligently is less reliable than hoping she'll work overtime herself...
Suddenly, the cabin lights went out.
"Huh? What happened?"
Aliens invaded? A meteorite damaged the power system? Or something else went wrong?
"Coralie, are you alright?!"
Regardless, Helia quickly drew her dual pistols and rushed towards her teammates' location.
Even in complete darkness, the backup lighting should still work!
"Helia, calm down, calm down! Look on the bright side, at least before I left, I bought myself a personal accident insurance policy with a huge coverage amount... Hmm!"
But when she rushed to Coralie's side, she found nothing.
"Has the enemy broken in? Or is there a problem with the power system?"
"Huh? What enemy? I was just turning off the lights to look at the stars!"
Her strategist, who was shorter than her, said that Helia had only had a false alarm, which infuriated her.
"Corallie! Shouldn't you be looking at the spaceship's control system right now?"
The black-and-white-haired dog-headed strategist simply stretched.
"It's all self-driving now. I set the flight path yesterday—don't worry, I guarantee it with my teacher's reputation, it'll be foolproof!"
As she spoke, she began to comment on the stars to Helia.
"Look, we're currently between Earth and Mars. Don't mistake that brightest star for Polaris; it's actually..."
"What is it?"
Coralie looked puzzled.
"That's strange, there shouldn't be any stars in that direction."
The next moment, a sense of fear welled up from Helia's very bones.
"Corallie, don't you think that 'star' is getting bigger?"
Even the strategist was getting a little flustered, but she was still trying to comfort Helia.
"Don't worry about Helia, it's a million miles away from us, we can't possibly..."
As they spoke, Hyperion 11 began to vibrate.
"Warning! Unidentified flying object collision! Warning! Unidentified flying object collision!"
--------------
"Hanabi, what kind of driving skills do you have! Don't crash old Sambo's shuttle!"
God knows what the fireworks hit just now. Sambo's heart is bleeding. The repair costs will be very high!
"Don't worry, Lady Hanabi's skills are trustworthy!"
"I don't believe you because it's you! By the way, is this the time we arrived? Don't get it wrong!"
After comparing the records with those of the shuttle, Sambo confirmed that he had indeed made a mistake.
"It's still too early; we'll have to wait a few more years."
"Understood! Captain Hanabi announces that the second time-space node travel has begun!"
