You wouldn't want them to be bullied, would you?

He was full of doubts when he first saw the billboard, but when he saw "Queen Q version doll", he suddenly realized.

Obvious.

This is one of Celine's works.

After all, the magical girls usually address Sirin as "Your Majesty".

"Let's go then."

Qiu Bi took out his phone and searched for the address of "Witch's Paradise," then led Eden toward "Witch's Paradise."

However, before the two had walked far, a taxi stopped in front of them.

"Hi~ Do you two need a ride?"

The taxi driver rolled down the window and carefully examined Eden beside Qiu Bi.

Even though the taxi driver was wearing a mask, Qiu Bi still recognized her from her long, fiery red hair.

—Agatha.

“Aga…”

"It's noon now, are you two really not going to take a car?"

Agatha didn't give Qiu Bi a chance to finish speaking and immediately interrupted him.

After sending Qiu Bi and Eden to Academy City, Sirin first contacted Agatha and Aurora, who were stranded in Academy City, and told them about how she brought Qiu Bi and Eden together. Only then did she contact Qiu Bi.

Eden immediately recognized Agatha's identity as a Herrscher, but considering that Qiu Bi and Agatha knew each other, she did not speak.

Qiu Bi gave Agata a subtle glare, then asked in a low voice, "Eden, shall we take a car to 'Witch's Paradise'?"

"can."

Eden responded softly, revealing a bright smile.

With Eden's experience, he naturally deduced Sirin and Agatha's thoughts from the slightest clues, but...

Eden did not directly expose Sirin and Agata's ulterior motives, but instead continued to develop the story according to Sirin's script.

Seeing that Eden had agreed to the offer of a ride, Qiu Bi quickly opened the back door of the taxi and politely let Eden get in.

Eden smiled gently, accepted Qiu Bi's kindness, and gracefully sat in the back seat.

Immediately, Qiu Bi gently closed the rear door and then opened the passenger door.

"According to company policy, to prevent drivers from being attacked by passengers, passengers are not allowed to ride in the front passenger seat of taxis."

At this point, Agata paused for a moment, then suggested, as if his wicked scheme had succeeded and as if he were looking forward to it, "So please take a seat in the back."

"……Fine."

Qiu Bi hesitated for a few seconds, but ultimately chose to open the back door.

Eden's delicate body exuded a faint fragrance, making one linger.

"Do you know each other?"

Eden lowered his voice and asked with great interest.

Qiu Bi nodded, then lowered his voice and replied, "Yes, her name is Agata, and she is also one of my daughters."

"One of your daughters? Do you have many daughters?"

"Yes, most of them are adopted orphans."

"If you were in the same generation and there was no Honkai invasion, you and Aponia might have a lot in common."

"Before Aponia joined the Firemoth, wasn't she the director of a sanatorium?"

"Yes, Aponia is gentle, and somewhat mysterious, but undeniably, she's very kind to the 'weak.'"

Eden's assessment is not without merit.

Aponia once gathered patients with "Honkai disease" from the vicinity of her living area in a sanatorium, which not only provided centralized care but also served to protect them.

After becoming a Fusion Warrior, she gained the ability to influence the behavior of others and predict the future. For a long time afterward, she secluded herself in the "Deepest Place" to "hold the hands of the weak."

Aponia's definition of "weak" is very broad, including those who become "monsters" or "former heroes" who stand in opposition to humanity.

"...In a sense, the 'deepest place' where Aponia resides can even be seen as an inescapable 'prison'."

Faced with Aponia's ability to predict the future, almost no "prisoner" can escape the "deepest place." Often, as soon as the thought of "escaping" arises, Aponia will take a series of actions to deal with it.

Aponia will follow the instructions of "fate" and manage those "prisoners" one by one.

Agata drove silently while simultaneously eavesdropping on Qiu Bi and Eden's conversation.

Agatha was very curious about this "new mother" and eager to know about Eden.

Unfortunately, Sirin forbade her and Aurora from asking about Eden unless Eden truly became their "new mother".

Chapter 255 Aurora's Admonition

While Qiu Bi and Eden chatted, Agatha drove the car to "Witch's Paradise" with ease.

As luck would have it, "Witch Paradise" was built on the original site of "Houmu Paradise".

At this moment, Witch's Paradise was bustling with noise and excitement.

"The total is 23 yuan. Would you like to pay in cash or by scanning a QR code?"

"...Scan the code."

Qiu Bi took out his phone and scanned the QR code shown by Agatha.

Unsurprisingly, this is Agatha's own QR code.

Qiu Bi thought for a moment and added an extra zero when paying, which immediately brought a joyful smile to Agata's face.

"Thank you dad."

Agatha deliberately lowered his voice, his brows beaming with joy.

There is a fundamental difference between the money I earn from my own work and the money Qiu Bi gives me. The former is money I deserve, while the latter is a small gift from "Dad".

Watching Qiu Bi and Eden walk side by side to buy tickets, Agatha couldn't help but chuckle to himself, while also sending a message to Aurora to show off.

Aurora felt both envious and annoyed by this.

“Aurora, the rest is up to you!” Agatha took off her mask, stared at Qiu Bi and Eden, and murmured to herself, “Whether we can have a new mother depends entirely on your performance.”

"Isn't this a little unfair? You're just driving Dad and Mom around, while I have to stay in Academy City to help Dad and Mom get together."

Aurora appeared silently beside the car, and while speaking, she knocked on the driver's side door with dissatisfaction.

As the "Herrscher of the Wind," she may not be as powerful as Wendy, but she can still move silently with ease.

Hearing Aurora's discontented words, Agatha sighed helplessly.

"If I could, I'd even like to switch places with you."

"Hmm? What's going on with the Human Alliance?"

"Yes."

Agatha nodded and then explained, "The Fifth Herrscher is about to descend. Mother Cecilia asked me and Galina to go and assist Aunt Maria, since my powers and Galina's powers are very suitable for the Fifth Honkai War."

According to information provided by the Human Alliance, the upcoming Fifth Herrscher is the "Herrscher of Ice," which is conveniently countered by Agatha's power.

As for Galina...

The power of the Herrscher of Death is a deadly weapon against weak creatures.

"What did Sister Xilin say?"

“Cecilia’s mother told us not to tell Celine, saying that she didn’t want to disturb Dad and the others’ experience of the afterlife.”

Upon hearing this, Aurora's expression immediately turned somewhat strange.

"Dad and stepmother have both left for the afterlife... Wait, didn't Sister Cecilia tell Cecilia about this?"

"Well, it seems that Sister Celine wants to 'act first and tell later,' and then tell Mother Cecilia about it after Dad and Mom have gotten together."

"...Never mind, let's not talk about this anymore."

Aurora waved her hand, then earnestly and solemnly instructed, "Agata, if you are no match for the Fifth Herrscher, remember to send me a message immediately, and I will rush to your location at full speed."

"Don't worry! She's just the Fifth Herrscher, and the Herrscher of Ice at that, so there won't be any major problems!"

Agatha was unimpressed, as if the "Herrscher of Ice" was already a defeated opponent.

She and Galina are not the only ones participating in the Fifth Honkai War. The Chosen Ones will also send a Valkyrie force led by Maria and supported by Cheng Lixue and Fu Hua.

In addition, both the Anti-Entropy faction and the World Serpent faction will send troops.

Even if the Herrschers that descend later are stronger than the Herrschers that descended before, they shouldn't be able to fight against a thousand or even defeat the Human Alliance's forces, right?

“Agata, Dad taught us that we must never underestimate these kinds of situations, especially…”

Aurora paused for a second, then continued, "The information from the Human Alliance may not be accurate, after all, Destiny was 'in and out seven times' by Wendy before."

“This is not the same. Agatha, you should know very well how powerful Wendy’s mother is.”

Aurora blocked Agatha's view and looked directly into his eyes. "Although Wendy's mother had been developing quietly for several months, she possessed the power to easily destroy a city when she first arrived. The Fifth Herrscher's strength will only be stronger than when Wendy's mother first arrived."

"I know! Don't worry, it's fine—Galina and I are quite strong, and besides, we have you here."

"Please contact me immediately."

Aurora gave Agatha earnest and serious instructions.

Among the four girls—Aurora, Agatha, Galina, and Bella—Bella is the weakest, while Aurora is the strongest.

After all, other girls don't have anyone to refer to, while Aurora has Wendy, the "Herrscher mother" who swept away Schicksal.

Aurora and Wendy both have green hair, but the latter has blue undertones in her hair.

Compared to the mother-daughter relationship where they have no blood relation, Wendy and Aurora are more like blood relatives.

"You'll be going to Fate Airport with Galina later?"

"Galina just arrived in Paris today. I'll go see her directly in a bit—Aurora. Make sure you don't go to the wrong place."

"...Do I look like I have no sense of direction?"
