Chapter 692

Himeko walked to Theresa's side with interest, gestured, and teased slightly:

"Really, I thought that after not coming back for so long, Theresa, you could grow a bit taller, but I didn't expect..."

Theresa looked at Himeko in a daze, and after a long while, she tremblingly reached out and poked Himeko lightly.

And pinched herself in disbelief.

"Why, do you feel like you're dreaming? Then how about this..."

Himeko smiled, opened her arms gently, and took Theresa into her embrace. She leaned into her ear and said softly:

"Long time no see, Theresa; sorry to keep you waiting, I'm back."

In an instant, feeling that familiar, warm, and broad embrace, Theresa burst into tears.

She hugged Himeko back tightly.

"Himeko... Himeko!"

"It's really Himeko!"

"I knew it! I knew you were definitely still alive!"

"Himeko, I... I've been looking for you, I've always believed you were waiting for me to take you home!"

"Himeko, I really missed you..."

"I'm sorry. This time I must protect you well!"

"Absolutely! I will never let anyone hurt you again!"

428. Himeko: Kiana, you are my pride

Watching Theresa, who had quickly soaked her chest with tears, Himeko's heart softened, but she still pinched Theresa's cheek with a smile.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Didn't you see how strong I was just now?"

"I am a proper Immortal Cultivator now; if anything, it should be me protecting you all."

Theresa remained silent, still hugging Himeko tightly without letting go, as if afraid that Himeko would disappear if she was careless.

Einstein noticed the information in Himeko's words, and combined with what she had just seen, she looked at Himeko with some surprise.

Not long after, Bronya also ran over with Seele, her face full of anxiety.

From far away, she saw that fiery red figure.

Instantly, Bronya also rushed up with tears in her eyes and hugged Himeko tightly.

Just as Himeko treated them as family, to them, Himeko was also their closest family.

Now, the St. Freya squad was reunited, with only Fu Hua left...

Fu Hua was still attached to Kiana in the form of consciousness, but for Himeko, that wasn't a problem either.

There were many ways to create a body in Shushan.

After an unknown amount of time, Theresa remembered something and looked nervously at Kiana, who was being held by Mei.

"Himeko, Kiana she..."

"Don't worry."

Himeko smiled and said softly:

"I have already solved the Honkai energy erosion on Kiana just now; she is just sleeping now."

As soon as she finished speaking, Kiana's eyelashes flickered, and she slowly opened her eyes.

The first thing she saw was Mei looking at her with concern, and she was currently in Mei's arms.

Instantly, Kiana hugged Mei back tightly; she hadn't seen Mei for a long time.

Before pushing the bomb, she even thought she would never be able to see Mei again in this life.

Now that she opened her eyes and Mei was by her side, for Kiana, this was the most wonderful thing.

"Mei... I missed you so much..."

Kiana said in a muffled voice, then added:

"It's really great to see Mei as soon as I open my eyes!"

"Sure enough, as long as Mei is here, it's equivalent to the strength of a hundred people! I can't even feel the pain of Honkai energy erosion anymore."

"Mei, you're so good..."

Feeling Kiana acting spoiled with her as before, Mei smiled, her eyes shimmering with waves, and tears faintly overflowing.

Pursing her lips, Mei said softly:

"Then... there is even better news to tell Kiana."

"Eh? What good news?"

Kiana looked at Mei in confusion, and the latter signaled Kiana to turn her head.

Kiana turned her head to the other side in a daze, and the next moment, a gentle gaze gathered on her.

And in her eyes, the person she had been thinking about was reflected.

"Hi... Himeko... Teacher!"

Kiana slowly raised her hand and pinched herself hard; her cheeks were pinched red.

Feeling that pain, Kiana finally confirmed she wasn't dreaming.

"Really! It's really Auntie Himeko!"

Kiana jumped down, stumbled to Himeko's side, and crashed into her arms, even squeezing Theresa away.

"Himeko! Himeko! Himeko! Himeko!"

"Himeko! It's really Himeko!"

"I missed you so much! Auntie Himeko!"

"I really, really missed you! I... I kept dreaming that Himeko you were fine and we were still at St. Freya!"

"Himeko! I... I..."

"I'm sorry! Auntie Himeko! It was all my fault back then! It was all my fault!"

"Don't leave me again, Auntie Himeko! Please..."

Looking at Kiana in her arms, Himeko rubbed her head with some heartache.

"What happened back then wasn't your fault; rather, it was my fault as a teacher for not protecting you well and letting Schicksal succeed."

"Kiana... you've already done great; you've already become an excellent Valkyrie; you are my pride."

Nothing made Kiana feel happier than seeing Mei as soon as she opened her eyes and then reuniting with Himeko.

Kiana didn't know what to say, she could only hug Himeko tightly, afraid that she would slip away if she let go.

Himeko didn't dwell on Kiana calling her Auntie this time.

A moment later, Kiana raised her head and glared at Bronya on the other side.

"Shorty! Don't take up space!"

"You're the one!"

Bronya glared at Kiana.

"Teacher Himeko is not your Teacher Himeko alone!"

"Damn it! This is the moment for me and Auntie Himeko to reunite!"

"Isn't it also the moment for Bronya and Teacher Himeko to reunite? And! Teacher Himeko said she doesn't like others calling her Auntie!"

"That's a term of endearment between me and Himeko! You don't understand at all! Go away! Go find your Seele!"

"You're the one! Go find Sister Mei! You acted on your own and ran off; do you know how hard we, how hard Sister Mei worked to find you!"

"Hmph! I'll apologize to Mei! I don't need you to tell me!"

"If apologizing was useful, would Sister Mei have suffered so many grievances!"

"Damn it! Don't think I won't touch you just because you became the Herrscher of Reason!"

Seeing that the two little ones were about to quarrel again, Himeko pulled them apart with a cold face, one in each hand.

"Such a good reunion moment, if you two keep causing trouble for me, you'll both go back and copy the textbook three hundred times!"

Instantly, the two fell silent.

Theresa raised her head proudly; with Himeko gone, she had no way to deal with these little ones like Kiana and Bronya.

One went to the Sea of Quanta to adventure, and the other just disappeared.

Now that Himeko was back, there was finally someone who could suppress these guys.

Theresa couldn't help but sigh; for this kind of thing, it still had to be Himeko.

"．〃 Major Himeko, welcome back."
