"That's how it happened."
Himeko, who had returned to St. Freya academy, reported the general process of the incident to Theresa.
After Theresa found out that Himeko had handed the Houkai energy concentration monitoring watch and Artemis' Guardian pistol to Kiana, she immediately calmed down a bit.
"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 screen, she couldn't help but frown on her forehead.
"Shouldn't the concentration of Houkai Energy in Nagazora City be reduced significantly because of the device we've set up?"
"You're right, the rate of reduction is very slow even though we have installed the Houkai energy concentration stabilizing device, this situation is a bit suspicious. But fortunately, the Houkai energy concentration is still decreasing and is no longer harmful to humans and ordinary animals. Before that, increase the operating output of the device and see if we can stabilize the situation, if not, we should probably 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 be completely impossible.
In fact, after Theresa told Himeko to give Kiana a Houkai energy concentration monitoring watch and the Artemis' Guardian Pistol, things gradually started to deviate from her plan.
'Granpa… what kind of things do you have planned for Kiana to play?'
At this moment, Kouro, who was currently in Nagazora City, didn't know that because of his actions, he is included in Overseer Otto's plans.
___
At Senba Academy, Bronya studies as an exchange student and nominally check the teaching level for the ME company.
The principal of Senba Academy was also very cooperative about this considering the possibility of getting more internship quotas in the future, and the possibility of even getting sponsorship from ME Company, which led to Bronya entering Senba Academy earlier than Kiana.
Kouro didn't intend to hide his existence aimlessly. He choose the right time, with Mei's cooperation, he was able to meet Bronya outside of Senba Academy.
"An unidentified object has been detected approaching, radar surveillance is fully operational."
The only problem was that Bronya's response wasn't very friendly.
Mei smiled and told Bronya not to be too nervous, but she thought that her reaction is normal because she also acted like that when she saw Kouro.
Why did she think like that? Because Kouro is currently dressed in a HOMU costume, but the problem isn't because he dressed like that, the issue is the costume is very tight that Kouro's figure is currently visible, yet the problem is still not that. The real problem is that because the costume is too tight, Kouro's 'thing' is also very visible that it's so conspicuous!
Earlier, when Kouro called her to meet him, Mei almost called the police because he was wearing a very flashy HOMU costume.
Maybe if Himeko was here, she would have said 'Nice…' after she sees Kouro's 'thing'.
"T-this person is Hanagami Kouro, my… w-well, he's my good friend."
Mei spoke while stuttering. After all, she couldn't concentrate because she was thing 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 wasn't the time to retort.
From Kouro's point of view, he could see ripples slowly appear behind Bronya, but it was still dim.
Was that Project Bunny 19C?
It's very similar to a 'Stand' from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure.
"That's right, I am Mei's best friend whom she can fully trust. So please don't be too wary of me."
Unfortunately, because of the clothes Kouro was wearing his words were not convincing, luckily Bronya didn't really care about Kouro's clothes, perhaps?.
"And you are?"
Since he had introduced himself, of course, he had to inquire about the origin of the other party.
Kouro is actually very aware that he is currently wearing a strange costume, he is doing this to make Cocolia, who might be watching from Bronya's biochip, go away.
"Bronya Zaychik, the Bronya is the adopted daughter of the current president of ME company, Cocolia Matushka. Currently, the Bronya attends Senba Academy due to internal affairs. The Bronya's hobbies are trading stocks and playing games."
Bronya gave a very comprehensive self-introduction as if she practiced it many times and is just repeating it, Mei, who was lost in thought about Kouro's 'thing', woke up from her stupor when she heard Bronya's introduction and couldn't help but ask.
"Trading stocks? Bronya did you say Trading stocks earlier?"
"Yes, the Bronya is currently raising some money and plans to acquire a game company that the 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 Holdings to raise funds to acquire the company.
Kouro, who was at the side, already knew of some of the extraordinary operations that Bronya had performed in the game apart 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 revealed a surprised expression.
"That's really amazing."
In this not-so-long conversation, Kouro also discovered that Bronya's answer had no gaps.
Even though she had said a lot of things, nothing got to the point of it.
The only thing related was the word 'internal affairs', but Kouro couldn't recklessly inquire about ME company's internal affairs.
Earlier he had hoped to acquire some information from Bronya but because of this, he failed.
However, in the end, he and Bronya got to know each other and there is no need to be wary anymore (perhaps).
Even though according to Kouro's observation, the ME Company's behavior under Cocolia's leadership was against his own plans, which caused conflict between the two sides, but Kouro was willing to believe Bronya.
At least Kouro thought Bronya wouldn't follow Cocolia's plan of taking the Gem of Conquest from Mei's body, after befriending her.
Except for dressing oddly and gaudily, Kouro spoke casually with Mei and Bronya.
"Actually I also like playing games. Maybe we can play together in the future."
Bronya is not a very talkative person. She rarely took the initiative to start a conversation and only always answered if she is asked.
The moment she heard Kouro's words, her eyes brightened a little but after looking at the way kouro is dressed, her eyes became dim 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 look at Kouro. (A/N: She had gotten a little used to Kouro's clothes as long as she didn't stare at 'the thing' Kouro's.)
"Is Bronya that special? You asked me to act as an intermediary to contact her and even let me do it secretly."
"Special? Of course, she is special, why do you think I dress like this?"
This answer left Mei speechless and then showed a helpless smile.
"Although there is some truth to what you said, I don't think you would dress and act like that just because of this."
"Don't you plan to refute it completely? Do I really look like a pervert in your eyes?"
Kouro spoke in a sad voice.
"Alright, okay. Forget it, if you don't want to say it. If you're a pure pervert, I'll be more relaxed… well, at least tell me that you wouldn't be that kind of person, okay?"
"Don't worry, I definitely won't be that kind of person."
"Alright I believe you, but first you should change your clothes immediately."
Mei spoke while looking behind Kouro, seeing Mei look behind him made him slightly curious before feeling someone tap his shoulders, Kouro had a bad feeling about this and slowly and stiffly turned his head to look back.
He saw a beautiful policewoman looking at him with a smile while carrying a handcuff.
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 is a strange pervert in tight clothes around here."
…
"BRONYAAAA!!!!"
Mei smiled wryly watching all of this and moved away from Kouro a little.
