Therefore, there is only one truth.

The other party was actually aware of all this, but he was deliberately keeping Mei in suspense. What he wanted was not just Mei alone, but the whole group.

He wanted to have a harem.

However, as her thoughts drifted to this point, Bronya remembered how kind the other person had been to her for no apparent reason.

So, does this harem also include Bronya?

After having this thought, she didn't feel any aversion; instead, her eyes seemed thoughtful.

But she quickly lost interest in these things. Qi Shi hadn't played games for a long time, so she was a little rusty at first, but she visibly became more skilled and her attacks became incredibly fierce.

Bronya no longer had the energy to think about anything else. She focused intently on the game, her delicate fingers clicking the controller.

The two played games for almost an hour.

"Your technique is quite good. No wonder you're a genius girl." Qi Shi praised without reservation after stopping her movements.

He had always known Bronya was a skilled gamer, but after playing with her this time, he could only say that the genius hacker girl truly lived up to her reputation.

Moreover, it is said that ducks have a special talent: buying stocks, and duck stocks are guaranteed to make a profit.

Bronya put down the game controller and let out a soft breath, feeling as relaxed as after a period of intense excitement.

"Your skill level is also very good."

"If there's a chance, I can play with Bronya."

She rarely praised him, and this was truly from the bottom of her heart; the other person was much better than Kiana.

Kiana's technique is not strong, her moves are straightforward, she relies purely on her reaction speed to launch powerful attacks, and her intuition to predict the enemy's moves, making her feel like she's fighting against a hellish AI opponent.

Moreover, the battle against Qi Shi was like a match against an evenly matched opponent.

The game gave her a long-awaited, thoroughly enjoyable experience.

Bronya could tell that her opponent wasn't using their full strength, but rather maintaining a comfortable level of play. It was less of a battle and more of a game they were playing.

But she didn't dislike the feeling.

Although he still has a strong competitive spirit, he feels a great sense of accomplishment every time he gains the upper hand or catches his opponent off guard, making them furrow their brows and show a surprised expression.

Well, the emotional value is off the charts.

Kiana walked out of the training ground dejectedly.

It was obvious that she lost.

Kiana initially had a lot of confidence and fighting spirit. Among St. Freya's classmates, almost no one was her match except for the class president. She believed that even if she lost, she wouldn't lose too badly.

However, the result was that she lost completely. She was simply no match for Qi Shi, even when she used the remaining power in the room. Bianca's performance was always effortless, and it seemed that she did not use her full strength at all.

"Damn it, how is Bianca so strong!"

Kiana sighed with her head down, but it wasn't really a complaint about Bianca. Although she had sparred and lost, their relationship had actually improved. Bianca had even patiently taught her some power generation and combat techniques, and their way of addressing each other had become much more intimate.

She suddenly realized that she was not strong at all.

Even with Qi Shi's help, she was still far from being able to catch up. If she relied solely on herself, the gap between her and Qi Shi would be insurmountable, an enormous chasm with no hope in sight.

Thankfully, Bronya and Mei didn't see it, otherwise it would have been incredibly embarrassing, and Bronya would definitely have laughed at me.

Bianca was very considerate. Despite the expectations of many Valkyries who came from afar, she still chose a separate training ground. These small gestures made Kiana feel very good about her.

This setback, however, fueled Kiana's motivation to practice. She clenched her little fist tightly and swung it forcefully.

I must work harder from now on, and I need to learn combat techniques from Qi Shi to become stronger. At least next time, I absolutely cannot lose so easily!

"Kiana."

"Ah? Mei."

Kiana hadn't gone far when she spotted Mei, who had been waiting there because she'd heard about Mei's match.

St. Freya's dormitory.

As if sensing something, Qi Shi, who was originally in front of the game console, suddenly transformed into a magnificent flame and entered Bronya's body.

Then, with a click, the door opened, and Kiana and Mei returned home.

"Bronya, what are you doing?" Mei looked at the scattered two-player game console with a puzzled expression.

"nothing."

Bronya calmly packed up the game console and spoke.

"Bronya was originally going to take out the game console to soothe Kiana's heartbreak after losing, but it seems that she has already been comforted by you, Mei-neechan."

Chapter 89 A Strange Competitive Spirit Emerges

"What do you mean, heartbroken? I'm not that fragile!"

Hearing Bronya say such things about her, Kiana couldn't help but defend herself.

Mei, who was watching this scene from the side, couldn't help but chuckle. She was actually quite worried that Kiana would be too disappointed, but she didn't expect that Kiana seemed to be in a pretty good mood.

"Oh, right, the headmaster said he's coming to our dorm for dinner tonight, and he's also invited the two guests who came to St. Freya today."

When everyone was present, Mei told them the news she had received from Theresa.

"Oh? Bianca is coming too?" Kiana exclaimed with surprise and joy upon hearing this.

"Bianca, sister?"

Mei blinked, taken aback by the title. When did Kiana become so close to that foreign Valkyrie?

"Yes, we met on campus and chatted for a long time. Bianca is a very nice person, not at all pretentious," Kiana said, recounting how she met Bianca at St. Freya. Her lively tone revealed her joy.

"Kiana has made a new friend too. She sounds like a very gentle person."

After listening to the other party's story, Mei couldn't help but smile gently and said softly, "I was worried that the two S-rank Valkyries from headquarters would be difficult to get along with, but after hearing what you said, I feel much more at ease."

However, while listening to their conversation, Bronya seemed to be deep in thought. When the two of them couldn't see her, she asked Qi Shi inside her body.

Bronya was puzzled. Was that Valkyrie named Bianca here to see you? And you even know an S-rank Valkyrie from headquarters?

Although she was asking a question, her tone was one of certainty.

Qi Shi was surprised. "Oh? How do you know?"

Bronya remained calm: "As the strongest force of Schicksal, the fact that the only two S-rank Valkyries would come to St. Freya together is somewhat abnormal. First of all, we can rule out the possibility that the headmistress, who spends all day slacking off, would betray us. They should each have their own purposes."

"Then came the time. Although Kiana's grades and talent are excellent, she shouldn't have attracted the strongest Valkyrie's initiative to contact her. Moreover, after the sparring and guidance, the other party talked with Kiana for such a long time, which is somewhat unusual, and realized that they were familiar with each other."

"I think that as the strongest Valkyrie who shoulders the important responsibility of destiny, she should not be someone who cannot control her own time. Since she cares so much about Kiana, there must be a special reason for it."

"In Bronya's analysis, the only possibility is that she has some kind of relationship with you or Kiana herself. Judging from what she just said, Durandal and Kiana are obviously meeting for the first time, which makes the chances of her being related to Kiana much smaller."

"So Bronya guessed that the strongest Valkyrie, Durandal, must have come to find you."

Bronya slowly recounted the content of her analysis, but as she spoke, her delicate little face seemed to be assessing something.

She did not show any resistance to this; the more Qi Shi's abilities exceeded expectations, the more friendly and approachable she became.

Because in that case, what the other party said about Seele before wouldn't be a lie.

Although she enjoys the warmth of home now, Bronya has never forgotten what her most important goal is.

“Excellent analysis.”

After listening to Bronya's meticulous and insightful analysis, Qi Shi couldn't help but chuckle and praise her, giving an affirmative answer: "You guessed right, we do know each other, but it's not just one of the probabilities, it's both."

“Bianca did come to see me, but she also has a deep connection with Kiana.”

"She is actually Kiana's biological sister, or you could say her mother, but neither of them knows it right now."

Qi Shi's casual words suddenly revealed a shocking truth.

With their complex experiences, the gains and losses in identity and family, Kiana and Bianca's relationship is like that of two sisters heading in different directions, like the sun and the moon reflecting each other.

Sociologically speaking, the two are sisters.

From a biological perspective, Bianca, who gave birth to Kiana through her genes, should undoubtedly be considered her mother, while Sirin is the other mother, who is the core of her soul.

Kiana is a unique creation born from the fusion of Zhenqi and Sirin.

As for Otto? That thing is at best an artificial embryo.

Bronya: “?”

After hearing Qi Shi's words, a big question mark seemed to appear in her gray eyes.

Can these two titles be switched at will?

"Bronya."

Just as she was agonizing over why the relationships between people were so chaotic and what Kiana's mysterious background was, a voice calling her brought her back to her senses. She walked out of the conversation with Qi Shi and then saw Mei looking at her, asking for her opinion on the matter of the headmaster.

Bronya, what's your opinion?

"Bronya has no objections," Bronya replied calmly.

"Hmm? Bronya, why are you so quiet today? That's unusual. I thought you were going to say something disdainful about Auntie's period, 'Has the headmistress finally stooped to bringing friends over to students' houses for free meals?'"

Kiana seemed to sense something was wrong, and looked somewhat puzzled, even mimicking Bronya's usual way of speaking.

It can only be said that they lack wisdom and rely purely on intuition.

"You're being too sensitive. Bronya is no different than usual, you idiot Kiana."

"Hmm~ Suspicious."

Bronya's delicate face remained calm, revealing no flaws, but Kiana placed her finger on her chin, adopting the look of a beautiful detective, and scrutinized her without giving up.

Looking at Kiana's suspicious and guessing expression, Bronya thought to herself.

You idiot Kiana, your mother is coming to see you, and you're still thinking about other things.

Not long after, Theresa brought Himeko, Rita, and Bianca to the dormitory.

Of course, Theresa wasn't just there to freeload. She brought a lot of high-end ingredients. Although she would occasionally come to Kiana and the others' place for a free meal, this time she was there to entertain guests. As the headmistress, she wasn't so embarrassed as to ask the students to pay for her meals.
