Kouro heard Himeko's complaint, so he replied innocently.
"It's fine, I don't mind."
Kouro didn't mean anything weird by that, after all, living in one house doesn't mean they have to be in the same room, right?
Too bad, Kouro's innocent thoughts weren't perceived by them.
Kouro's statement resulted in Mei, Kiana, Bronya, Theresa and even Himeko to stare at him strangely.
"But I mind!" yelled Theresa. As a good aunt, she wouldn't let Kouro approach her niece so easily.
She didn't expect that Kouro, who fought fiercely on the battlefield, would be this kind of guy in reality.
Himeko also had the same idea.
In Kiana and Mei's perspective, Kouro is the one they currently know the most, he is sometimes serious, sometimes innocent, and sometimes silly, but most of the time, he is kind and likes to joke.
If it was related to his responsibilities during times of crisis, he would be very reliable. To the point where Mei and Kiana couldn't stand their weakness and regret that they could only sit still in silence while watching Kouro endure everything on his own.
Now, the girls didn't want Kouro to live by himself, in fact, for them, it's better that Kouro doesn't live with anyone else (some are jealous guys.).
That way, they wouldn't need to worry about being caught while sneaking into his room.
Just as the two girls were thinking about this (Herrscher Mei was laughing boisterously when she saw Raiden Mei thinking this), Theresa pulled Kouro outside the house.
Blinking at this, Kiana and Mei looked at each other and smiled wryly, they seemed to somewhat understand each others thoughts.
They wanted to become stronger, strong enough to be able to walk side by side with Kouro.
So Kiana and Mei looked at Himeko with burning eyes, "Himeko-san, A-rank Valkyries is supposed to be a very powerful existence, right?"
"That's right, including St. Freya Academy and Schicksal, there aren't too many S-rank Valkyries, those are above A-rank Valkyries, so it's accurate for you to think of he as a strong person." Hearing Kiana's question, Himeko replied with a smile, but there was no pride in he words because she knew how much she had paid to get to where she is now.
When Himeko found out from Theresa that she plan to arrange for Kiana and the others to stay in her residence, apart from cleaning her house, she also hid all sorts of pain killers.
This is the only option when she cannot sleep for a long period of time due to the pain caused by the artificial stigmata.
Besides that, a large part of the reason why Himeko like to drink is because Alcohol can numb the pain in her body temporarily.
After all, in this world, most people's talents were mediocre. Himeko doesn't have good Honkai Energy adaptation, her's was even weaker than an average person, and her prime to become a Valkyrie has already passed.
The power do the artificial stigmata she has is higher than ordinary level, so the side effects are even worse than the ordinary level.
Himeko's vitality was swallowed up by her stigmata more than any other Valkyries.
Sometimes, she worries that when she falls asleep one day, she may never wake up again.
Currently, neither St. Freya Academy nor Schicksal had the technology to improve Himeko's condition, so she never asked for help, she just held on in silence hoping that hope would emerge.
Even Theresa didn't know too much about Himeko's physical condition.
Naturally, Kiana and Mei didn't know what was going through Himeko's mind. Right now, they had a general understanding of A-rank Valkyries, so they made a request to Himeko.
"Please teach use how to become stronger!" Himeko stared at the girls in front of her with inexplicable bitterness.
(E/D: The exclamation point or '!' isn't only used when shouting or screaming.)
"Mei, you're a Herrscher, if you can fully control your own strength as a Herrscher, I'm certain that you wouldn't only be an A-rank Valkyrie, it is even possible to become an S-rank Valkyrie, an Kiana, you are already strong enough as a human, most people your age are just ordinary people with no power."

As expected, Kiana wasn't the type to listen to long explanations patiently, and noticing that Himeko didn't answer her request directly, she asked doubtfully.
"So you can't do it right, Himeko?"
"Tsk! Please call me Himeko-sensei, Kiana-san, Mei-san."
After Himeko's declaration, she noticed that Bronya, who can together with everyone else, seemed to have been quite a while now.
She looked around and found that Bronya was secretly cleaning her house, which made her slightly moved.
Bronya noticed that she was being stared at by Himeko, she said calmly.
"Judging from Himeko-san's behavior in clearing the house. Bronya estimated the work efficiency and made a comparison, if the house cleaning is left entirely to Himeko-san, who is busy chatting. There's a 99% chance that she won't be able to able to finish cleaning before break. So Bronya took it to herself."
Is this a veiled accusation from yourself?
Himeko's moved heart instantly died down, "I know, I know. Then, let's clean up together, also, you will have to call me Himeko-sensei in the future."
"Bronya thinks that the knowledge imparted by Himeko-san, who wields a Greatsword, has no benefit to the Remodeled Bunny 19C, so Bronya decided to stick with the original formalities, Himeko-san."
"Tsk!"
Himeko discovered that these three girls had their differences, one had multiple personalities, the other is a white-haired idiot, and the other is an annoying expressionless girl.
Her future life—perhaps it will be very interesting?

Under Theresa's lead, or rather, pulling, Kouro arrived to a building next to Himeko's residence.
This is the St. Freya Academy's teachers dorm, but because the school is so understaffed, there naturally aren't that many teachers, which means a lot of houses are empty here, and there happened to be a vacant house near Himeko's, the only problem is the house is dirty, but a little cleaning would suffice.
For Kouro, as long as it wasn't a room with a beautiful girl, he didn't really care, but because of the existence of the system, he needs some personal space, and naturally, no one would object to such an arrangement.
"By the way Theresa, where's my greatsword? You didn't take it, did you?"
"Are you accusing me!" Theresa became very irritated from the accusation in Kouro's words.
"Your greatsword was slightly damaged, due to repeated battles. And it is currently being repaired, by the Research and Development (R&D) Department of our St. Freya academy."
"Improve... By the way, Theresa. Do you have a way to make my sword stronger? For example, for every swing of my Greatsword, a sword of light will shoot from it, or add a special effect like having a certain probability of slowing down an enemy's movement speed. Oh... Also, can you modify it to change the shape of the greatsword to a Katana?"
"...You are quite imaginative."
Theresa glanced at Kouro at the side and then sighed.
"What are saying, if it's Schicksal HQ, then it's possible to do it, but unfortunately, St. Freya Academy doesn't have the equipment to implement this technology, sorry."
"I just said it casually." Kouro didn't think much of it, besides, with the system's help, he could also strengthen his weapons, but Theresa was a little worried.
The Third Eruption had it's casualties minimized by Kouro. As a hero, he deserved to be rewarded. Theresa plans to use St. Freya Academy to see if she can find something that Schicksal hasn't fount yet. Find more Honkai Weapons of destruction for Kouro.
Do Kouro like katana weapons and big swords? Note it.
