"---That's how it happened."
Himeko who had returned to St. Freya's academy, reported the general process of the previous incident to Theresa.
After Theresa learned that Himeko had handed over the Honkai energy concentration monitoring watch and the [Artemis Guardian] to Kiana, she immediately calmed down a little.
"Good job, Himeko."
Himeko's beautiful eyes wandered around looking at the various virtual screens in front of Theresa, looking at the index and some data on the virtual screens, she couldn't help but frown.
"Shouldn't the concentration of Honkai Energy in Nagazora City be significantly reduced because of the device we installed?"
"You're right, the rate of reduction is very slow even though we have installed a Honkai energy concentration stabilizing device, this situation is a little suspicious."
"But fortunately, the concentration of Honkai energy is still reduced and is no longer dangerous to ordinary humans and animals. "
Theresa then gave an order with a serious expression.
"Before that, increase the operation output of the device and see if we can stabilize the situation, otherwise, we may have to start preparing to relocate the citizens of Nagazora town."
After Theresa said that, she suddenly remembered something and her face became tense.
If everything really went according to what she thought, her original plan to let Kiana spend her life as an ordinary girl would become quite impossible.
In fact, after Theresa had Himeko give Kiana the Honkai energy concentration monitoring watch and the [Artemis Guardian] Pistol, things began to deviate from her original plan.
"Grandfather... What kind of things have you planned for Kiana to play with?" She muttered with a worried expression.
At this moment, Kouro who was in Nagazora City, didn't know that because of his actions he was included in Overseer Otto's plan.
___
At Senba Academy, Bronya studied as an exchange student and nominally checked the teaching level for the ME company.
The principal of Senba Academy was also very cooperative in this regard by considering the possibility of obtaining more internship quotas in the future and obtaining sponsorship from ME Company,
This led to Bronya entering Senba Academy earlier than Kiana.
Kouro had no intention of hiding his whereabouts aimlessly.
He chose the right time with Mei's cooperation, he could meet Bronya outside Senba Academy.
"An unidentified object has been detected approaching, radar surveillance is in full operation."
The only problem was that Bronya's response was not very friendly.
Mei smiled and told Bronya not to be too nervous, but she thought that her reaction was normal since she was also acting like that now when she saw Kouro.
Why would she think that? Because Kouro is currently wearing a HOMU costume.
But the problem is not that he is dressed like that, the problem is that the costume is so tight that the curves of Kouro's figure are visible, but the problem is still not that.
The real problem is that because the costume is too tight, Kouro's 'thing' is also very visible, making it very conspicuous!
Earlier, when Kouro called her to meet him, Mei almost called the police because he was wearing a very conspicuous HOMU costume.
Perhaps if Himeko was here, she would have said 'nice d*ck...' after seeing Kouro's 'thing'.
"This person is Hanagami Kouro, he's... Well, he's my best friend."
Mei spoke stammeringly, however, she couldn't concentrate because she was thinking about Kouro's 'thing' that turned out to be so big.
Kouro didn't notice her behavior and just rolled his eyes inside the HOMU costume after hearing Mei's introduction of him, but now was not the time to retaliate.
From Kouro's vantage point, he could see ripples slowly appearing behind Bronya, but it was still vague.
Was that Project Bunny 19C?
It's very similar to the 'Stand' from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure.
"That's right, I'm Mei's best friend whom she can trust completely. So please don't be too wary of me."
Unfortunately, because of the clothes Kouro was wearing, his words were less convincing, fortunately Bronya didn't care much about Kouro's clothes, perhaps?
"And you?"
Since he had introduced himself, of course, he had to inquire about the origin of the other party.
Kouro was actually very aware that he was currently wearing a strange costume.
He did this to make Cocolia who was probably watching from Bronya's biochip, leave.
"Bronya Zaychik, Bronya is the adopted daughter of the current ME company president, Cocolia. Currently, Bronya is attending Senba Academy due to internal affairs. Bronya's hobbies are trading stocks and playing games."
Bronya gave a very comprehensive self-introduction as if she had practiced it many times and was just repeating it.
Mei, who was daydreaming about Kouro's 'thing', was awakened from her reverie when she heard Bronya's introduction and couldn't help but ask.
"Stock trading? Bronya, did you say stock trading earlier?"
"Yes, Bronya is currently raising money and plans to acquire a game company that Bronya likes in the future so that Bronya can make more fun games."
Mei was dumbfounded and speechless after hearing Bronya's plan to trade stocks to raise funds to acquire the company.
Kouro, who was beside her, was already aware of some of the amazing operations Bronya had done in the game aside from being a Valkyrie.
At this moment there was not much surprise in his heart, but with his Acting ability reaching (Master), his voice quickly showed a surprised expression.
"That's really amazing."
In this not-so-long conversation, Kouro also discovered that Bronya's answer had no gaps.
Although she had said many things, none of them got to the point.
The only thing related was the word 'internal affairs', but Kouro couldn't just randomly ask about the internal affairs of the ME company.
Previously he had hoped to get some information from Bronya, but because of this, he had failed.
But, in the end, he and Bronya knew each other and didn't need to be wary anymore (probably).
Although according to Kouro's observations, the ME Company's behavior under Cocolia's leadership went against his plans which caused conflict.
But Kouro was willing to trust Bronya.
At least Kouro thought Bronya would not follow Cocolia's plan to take the Gem of Conquest from Mei's body after befriending her.
Except for dressing strangely and conspicuously, Kouro talked casually with Mei and Bronya.
"I actually like playing games too. Maybe we can play together in the future."
Bronya was not a talkative person. She rarely took the initiative to start a conversation and only answered if asked.
When she heard Kouro's words, her eyes lit up slightly but after seeing the way Kouro was dressed, her eyes dimmed again and she just nodded her head.
...
Ten minutes later, Bronya left.
Staring at Bronya who had left until she disappeared from their sight, Mei then turned and looked at Kouro.
"Is Bronya that special? You asked me to act as an intermediary to contact her and even told me to do it secretly."
"Special? Of course, she's special, why do you think I'm dressed like this?"
This answer made Mei pause and then showed a helpless smile.
"Although there is some truth to what you said, I didn't think you would dress and act like that just because of this."
"Aren't you planning to refute it completely? Do I really look like a pervert in your eyes?"
Kouro spoke in a sad voice.
"Well, okay. Forget it, if you don't want to say it. "
Mei shook her head after saying that.
"If you really are a pervert, I'll be more relaxed... At least tell me that you're not that kind of person, okay?"
"Don't worry, I definitely won't be that kind of person." Kouro said with a serious expression.
"Alright, I believe you, but first you have to change your clothes immediately."
Mei spoke while looking behind Kouro, seeing Mei looking back made him a little curious before feeling someone tapping his shoulder.
*Pat*
Kouro had a bad feeling about this and slowly and stiffly looked back.
He saw a beautiful policewoman looking at him with a smile while carrying handcuffs.
Kouro and the policewoman finally looked at each other.
"..."
"..."
The policewoman then cleared her throat and spoke, "Ten minutes ago someone called the police that there was a strange pervert in tight clothes around here."
...
"BRONYAAAA!!!!"
Mei smiled wryly at all this and slightly moved away from Kouro.
~~Fun fact
The HOMU costume worn by Kouro is a limited deluxe special edition merchandise, which he bought on the black market. This costume is the most expensive thing that Kouro bought in the 10 years he lived.
