Chapter 236

Anyway, no matter what, as long as Bai Ge is around in the future, the people around him will never have to worry about physical problems again.

"Thank you, Bai Ge..."

Himeko looked blankly at the youth before her. Her eyes were a bit wet at this moment.

"Really, to have such a thing happen, I must be dreaming."

Himeko touched her body that had recovered its health everywhere, feeling a long-lost sense of ease. Since she accepted the artificial stigmata surgery as a Valkyrie, she had never felt so comfortable.

"But what exactly happened? You actually became a Herrscher or something. This is too surprising."

"Emmm, well, it's just that a friend of mine said someone sent a Gem of Serenity there, and then notified me that I could go and take it. After I got it, I fused it into my body, and after that, I became a Herrscher."

Bai Ge waved the blue-black battle scythe he was carrying and posed in a handsome posture.

"I named myself the Herrscher of Life and Death, the Herrscher who controls life and death. How is it? Doesn't it sound very powerful?"

"............"

Himeko didn't know what to say. Your process is too simplified. What kind of friend is this? They can even give away a treasure like a Herrscher core so casually.

And ordinary people have no use even if they get the core. People who can become Herrscher hosts are one in ten thousand, no, one in ten million! Bai Ge, you can actually use this to become a Herrscher.

The probability of this is lower than winning a billion-dollar jackpot on a lottery ticket bought at random. What kind of luck is this!

"Uh, so Bai Ge, did you become this Herrscher of Life and Death in order to save me?"

"Hmm? Ah~ you could say that. However, I only told you because I trust Himeko. You must not tell anyone other than... Mei, Kiana, Bronya, Seele, and Theresa about this. Immortal Fu Hua is also not allowed for the time being."

"Okay, I know."

Himeko nodded and agreed without hesitation, without even a moment's hesitation.

She could hear that Bai Ge was hiding a lot of things.

For example, where exactly he got the Gem of Serenity, how exactly he adapted to become the Herrscher of Life and Death, why he couldn't tell Immortal Fu Hua, and so on.

If it were someone else, these would be important questions that they would definitely try every means to ask to the end, but Himeko felt there was no need to pursue them at all, as if these were just trivial matters.

Only one thing is truly important.

This person voluntarily became a Herrscher in order to save her.

Himeko felt that everything else was unimportant.

And since Bai Ge became a Herrscher to save her, then she should also unconditionally believe in him and stand on his side, which is in accordance with etiquette, isn't it?

Moreover, just by looking at Bai Ge like this, anyone can clearly understand that he is undoubtedly a Herrscher who retains his humanity.

"Since you have recovered, there is no need to continue lying on the hospital bed. Let's go home, Himeko."

"Yeah, I've never liked hospitals full of white and the smell of disinfectant either."

"Hmm? Himeko, you don't like white?"

Bai Mou blinked his eyes and rubbed his bangs that were hanging down with regret.

Seeing this, Himeko shook her head with a laugh. She also raised her hand and placed it on Bai Ge's head, touching his fluffy snow-white hair.

"Rest assured, there is no one in this world who would hate your white. I like it very much too, but... Bai Ge, has your hair grown a lot? Weren't you short-haired before?"

Himeko asked curiously.

"I don't really understand this either. After I became a complete Herrscher, it grew by itself. Speaking of which, it was the same for Mei. In her normal state, she only had purple hair reaching her waist, but when she opened Herrscher mode, it would grow down to the ground."

Bai Ge touched his back and found that his hair had also grown to his waist.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that a Herrscher's hair growing long is a necessary characteristic.

"This is also quite good, it suits you very well."

Subsequently, Himeko got off the hospital bed and stretched her proud body vigorously.

Under the bright moonlight, Bai Ge saw some beautiful scenery that shouldn't have been seen for a moment, especially the buttons on Himeko's chest that were almost bursting, which left a deep impression.

"Let's go, back to our dormitory."

"Hmm, don't forget to leave a note, otherwise it might cause a commotion if you suddenly disappear after dawn."

"Makes sense, hehe, but Theresa will definitely be scared out of her wits today."

But she will also be very pleasantly surprised.

The problem of Valkyries inevitably being eroded by Honkai Energy now finally has a thorough solution.

(The world is full of beauty, and the Valkyries who fight for it will no longer have to suffer.)

Himeko knew Bai Ge's personality. He is not the kind of person who would ignore the tragedy happening before his eyes, especially when he himself possesses the power to save them.

It's not just Himeko in St. Freya Academy who is suffering from the problem of Honkai Energy erosion.

After all, most A-rank Valkyries are older Valkyries who have lived since the Second Honkai Eruption, and basically, they have all been eroded by Honkai Energy very severely.

But now everyone has a chance to be reborn, no longer having to rely on medicine every day to linger on.

... After the two returned to the dormitory...

As expected, the girls had all fallen asleep.

"By the way, Bai Ge, is there any dinner left? I feel a bit hungry now."

"It's a pity I didn't make dinner, and Mei didn't either. Although Seele can cook, I'm afraid everyone didn't have the mood today, so we just made do with instant noodles."

Bai Ge looked at the instant noodle cups in the trash can. Speaking of which, he hadn't eaten dinner either.

After training all day, he was just about to cook when he heard the bad news of Himeko's hospitalization. After that, he flew directly from St. Freya Academy to Chicago, and after becoming a Herrscher, he flew back to cure Himeko.

Bai Ge: "Haa~ feeling a bit tired."

Himeko: "... If you don't mind, I'll make something to eat. By the way, how about having a few drinks with me tonight?"

Bai Ge: "Okay, instant noodles with luncheon meat it is. Everything is delicious when you're hungry."

Although it was just instant noodles + canned luncheon meat + eggs + vegetables, as the only dish Himeko was good at, the taste was still not bad. Bai Ge said he would go take a shower first. The Pacific sea breeze made him want to soak in hot water for a while now.

Looking at the youth walking into the bathroom while yawning, Himeko thought to herself, Bai Ge wouldn't be like that grass-eating insect, falling asleep in the bathroom while washing and almost drowning herself, right?

"Okay, let's try a little harder this time... eh, if only I knew how to cook other dishes."

Himeko took two packs of instant noodles out of the cabinet and muttered to herself with a wry smile. Although she rarely wanted to show off her skills, if the only dish she could cook was instant noodles with luncheon meat, she could only be powerless.

She suddenly regretted not learning a few more dishes before, making it so that even if she wanted to express her gratitude now, the only thing she could do was add two more eggs to Bai Ge's bowl.

But fortunately, she didn't just have noodles. Himeko said she still had alcohol, and she took two bottles of good wine from the depths of the wine cabinet, the kind with a high alcohol content.

Although she didn't know if alcohol could have an effect on a Herrscher, and after all, when she drank with Bai Ge before, Himeko had never seen him get drunk.

Bai Ge walked out of the bathroom after soaking for about ten minutes.

The heat made his cheeks slightly red.

"Yo? Red wine with instant noodles? This combination is quite novel."

"Who told me that's all I can cook."

"It's fine, as long as it's delicious. Otherwise, it's useless no matter how many dishes you can cook."

"That sounds quite powerful coming from your mouth."

Himeko thought of Bai Mou and the cooking-wife's culinary skills, which were enough to be head chefs in star-rated restaurants, and felt a little bit envious.

"Slurp~ slurp~ slurp~"

And Bai Ge, who had long been hungry, sat down and started slurping.

Slurping noodles is a wonderful thing. Old Ancestor Kevin hasn't gotten tired of it for fifty thousand years. Bai Ge wondered if he had finished slurping the box of instant noodles he brought over last time.

"Hmm? This wine is not bad either."

Bai Ge looked at the wine in the goblet in surprise.

Although he didn't like to drink because he couldn't get drunk, he still had the ability to appreciate it. He could tell that Himeko had taken a treasure.

He immediately drank two glasses without being polite.

"... As expected, you won't get drunk."

Himeko looked regretfully at Bai Ge's face, which hadn't turned red at all. On the contrary, she herself had two flushes on her cheeks after drinking only half a glass. She couldn't help but wonder if there was really any wine in this world that could make this person drunk.

"I seem to be immune to alcohol."

"Okay, that's truly a pity. By the way, Bai Ge, did you drink with others before? Women?"

"... I have a friend who runs a bar. Uh, the bar is just one of her businesses. After work, she would always invite me to have a drink."

The figure of Raven appeared in Bai Ge's mind.

He wondered how Natasha's savings were going? The villa island she was thinking about should already be settled.

I hope it doesn't sink this time.

Speaking of which, in the rewards for his previous time-travel settlement, he had a villa island.

(It's been so long, I miss Raven a bit. I wonder how high her favorability toward me is. If we meet again, can she break through the memory limit set by the system?)

(If Raven can recognize me next time we meet, I'll give her the villa island. If she doesn't recognize me... hmph hmph! I'll snatch her Seven Thunders of Retribution and play with it for a few days.)

"So there really is someone. I saw the way you drank before was very professional, and I thought maybe someone who knew had taught you... I guess, does she often give you high-alcohol wine?"
