Just a few days after the New Year.
Theresa called Elysia to the Headmasters Office alone.
"Theresa, is something wrong?" Elysia asked as she entered the Headmasters Office.
"Hmm, my grandfather wants you to carry out a mission. I want to ask if you want to go. If you don't, I'll decline it for you," Theresa said.
"Can I see what the mission is first?"
"Hmm." Theresa handed the communicator in her hand to Elysia, letting her read it herself.
On the communicator, a document was displayed.
Shencheng Pharmaceutical's branch in Shenzhou.
Shencheng Pharmaceutical was planning to establish a branch in Sky Dome City, Shenzhou.
And it was almost completed recently.
So, they invited Schicksal to inspect it.
"Shencheng Pharmaceutical?"
"Hmm, a pharmaceutical company. They are a partner of Schicksal, providing material aid and Honkai Energy vaccines to areas affected by Honkai," Theresa explained.
"Then, after they've built their branch, do they still need Schicksal to inspect it?"
"After all, they rose with Schicksal's support, and all their Honkai Energy vaccines come from Schicksal," Theresa explained the source of Shencheng Pharmaceutical's vaccines.
Since the vaccines all came from Schicksal, they definitely had to inform Schicksal when establishing a new branch, as Schicksal could cut off their vaccine supply at any time.
"So, for this kind of inspection mission, is it really okay for me to go?" Elysia asked, frowning.
This kind of mission shouldn't be given to a newcomer like her.
"I don't know why either. I asked my grandfather, and he said it's because we're closer to Sky Dome City, so he asked me to send someone from here, and then he mentioned you," Theresa was also pondering this question.
Within Saint Freya, the number of Valkyries was not small, but only a few could perform missions independently.
But why did her grandfather specifically mention Elysia?
"Hmm~ Since the Bishop has already mentioned me, then let me carry out this mission. After all, if I refuse, it would be difficult for Theresa to tell the Bishop, wouldn't it~" Elysia placed the communicator back in front of Theresa.
"If Elysia really doesn't want to go, I can easily resolve it. I just need to say that you and Fu Hua have returned to Shenzhou," Theresa said.
"Theresa, have you thought about that excuse... If Fu Hua and I return to Shenzhou, wouldn't that be even closer to Sky Dome City?" Elysia looked at Theresa with an unreadable expression.
"Oh... it seems it would be even closer to Sky Dome City." Theresa froze.
"Alright, Theresa, it's just a mission. Don't worry." Elysia walked around the table and patted Theresa's head.
"Elysia, you don't understand my grandfather. If he has nothing to do, he would never actively mention your name. He must have other motives," Theresa said, swatting Elysia's hand away.
"Then does Theresa know the Bishop's purpose?"
Theresa shook her head.
"Exactly, you don't know either, so why think like that? We definitely can't avoid it, can we? So why not just go ahead and carry out the mission?" Elysia sat on the table and picked up the communicator again.
Shencheng Pharmaceutical, World Serpent.
So, the Serpent and Otto have reached some kind of agreement?
Theresa was thinking about how to get Elysia out of this mission, but no matter how she thought about it, she really had no formal reason.
To suppress Honkai? There were no Honkai incidents nearby.
To conduct tests? How long had it been since she was promoted to B-rank? How could she conduct tests?
To implant Artificial Stigmata? That's even less possible, because Elysia is already so powerful now, she might have a natural Stigmata, so she doesn't need Artificial Stigmata at all.
To test weapons? But Theresa had already written in the data that Elysia had a weapon that could change at will, and there were no new weapons to test in the Far East right now.
In the end, Theresa compromised.
She also wanted Fu Hua and Elysia to go together.
But Fu Hua had been transferred back to headquarters by her grandfather to test new armor, and she had only left two days ago.
"Elysia, if you really go on this mission, please be careful." Theresa had no other options, and said somewhat dejectedly.
"Alright, Theresa, this isn't like you. Cheer up. This also proves that I can carry out missions independently, doesn't it?" Elysia jumped off the table and squatted in front of Theresa.
"But my grandfather..."
"I believe that if I run into trouble, Theresa will definitely come to save me, won't she?" Elysia said gently.
"Hmm." Theresa nodded.
Just as Elysia quieted down to look at Shencheng Pharmaceutical's data.
Theresa suddenly said, "I have an idea!"
"Huh?" Elysia looked at Theresa in confusion, had she suddenly thought of something else?
"Elysia, wait, although my grandfather took Fu Hua away, Sister Himeko and I are still here!" Theresa said loudly.
"You're not planning to come with me, are you?" Elysia's mouth twitched.
"Hehe~ Who said I'm going with you? I'm just going on a patrol mission near Sky Dome City with Sister Himeko!" Theresa said triumphantly.
"You and Sister Himeko are going on a patrol mission?"
"That's right. I'll send a mission to myself and Sister Himeko in a bit. Then we'll be near you. I don't believe my grandfather can have any other ideas." As Theresa spoke, she snatched the communicator from Elysia's hand and began operating on it.
Soon, Theresa put the communicator back.
She had already arranged the mission.
This way, she wouldn't have to fear Elysia being in danger.
"Theresa, is this really okay?" Elysia felt it was a bit of an overreaction.
"What's wrong with it? Anyway, it's just like Sister Himeko and I are going out to relax. You just focus on your mission." Theresa waved her hand.
"Alright, since you've already arranged everything, I won't say anything more. Well, Theresa, I'll head back first. After all, I still need to tell Mei and the others."
Before Elysia left, she ruffled Theresa's hair again.
After returning home, Elysia went to Mei's side.
"Mei, I'm going out to perform a mission next." Elysia hugged Mei from behind.
"Elysia, can you please not always hug me from behind?" Mei said somewhat helplessly.
"Kiana can hug like this, why can't I? Could it be that Mei, you don't like me~" As she spoke, Elysia even showed a hint of a crying voice.
"No, no, Elysia, you can hug me if you want." Mei always felt that Elysia was getting closer to Kiana.
"But, Elysia, you're going on a mission?" Mei asked curiously.
"Hmm, just a patrol mission, very simple." Elysia let go of Mei and stood beside her.
"When are you leaving?"
"Leaving tomorrow, so I can spend one more night with my gentle Mei tonight ♬~" Elysia said with narrowed eyes.
"Elysia! Can you please be serious? Like this every day, who do you think can bear it?" Mei said, blushing, after a moment of stunneding.
"But Elysia isn't wrong, is she? Does Mei want Elysia to leave now?" Elysia said, wiping the corner of her eye with the back of her hand.
"Alright, how about I cook some of Elysia's favorite dishes tonight?" Mei now felt that it was indeed better for Elysia to have less contact with Kiana.
Elysia was already close to becoming Kiana 2.0!
