Honkai: Strijder (Honkai Impact 3 Male MC)

After breakfast, everyone went about their business.

Cocolia and Ryoma began integrating some intelligence under Einstein's instructions, intending to clarify the organizational structure of the Anti-Entropy organization.

Once Welt completed his ideological mapping work, he would quickly sweep through the entire organization like thunder, integrating it into a collective with only one voice.

Bronya took Kiana and Mei to a spacious area outside for another round of practical combat training.

Rozaliya and Liliya continued their idol training.

Seele did household chores and also tutored Raven, who had turned harmless after being subjected to a restraint device—mainly because it wasn't clear what this person could do, and Sigurd made this arrangement.

Since Seele's involvement in various legitimate matters was not high, there was no fear of information leakage.

As for Sigurd, he placed Wendy on the experimental table and began his own experiments.

"Raise your right hand."

"The Valkyrie of Destiny will never yield-"

Wendy's harsh words were cut off midway as Sigurd conjured a laser dagger in his hand, staring expressionlessly at her.

"Alright."

Following his command, Wendy raised her right hand.

At this moment, she hadn't reached the level of despair and hatred towards the world, and her loyalty to the Archbishop was still extremely high.

But isn't Sigurd supposed to be Otto's friend?

So this doesn't count as surrendering out of fear of death!

Wendy's mood relaxed, and the slight sense of guilt vanished.

"Hmm, the muscle structure has started to change, and the cells are converging towards a peculiar pattern in the legs. This subtle structure... is departing from the carbon-based category. So, completed Herrscher, is it a silicon-based life form? Similar to the Herrscher of Sentience? No, that's not it... a pure Herrscher energy aggregate? Can Herrscher energy condense into a lasting entity? The possibility is not low..."

Sigurd studied Wendy's body.

In addition to many instruments that made no sense to Wendy, Sigurd practically touched her from top to bottom, despite wearing what appeared to be high-tech glasses with some kind of X-ray capability.

While exploring, he made various records, maintaining a focused and non-sinister expression, typical of a scientist engrossed in research—yet as a girl, Wendy couldn't just ignore her sense of shame because of the situation; her defenses had long been breached.

The researchers at the Oceania branch weren't so extreme.

At least they didn't touch her so intimately!

"Are–Are you done?"

When Wendy was turned over again, she asked with a blushing face.

Sigurd paid no attention to her and continued manipulating her legs, muttering to himself, sometimes frowning, sometimes relaxing.

After a good half-hour, Sigurd looked at the recorded data and conclusions, and put away the virtual screen.

"Alright, leave on your own. Do whatever you want."

Sigurd didn't spare Wendy a glance, as if he were impatiently waving her off.

Wendy, recovering from her embarrassment, blinked in confusion.

"Is it over? So fast?"

In her impression, once an experiment started, it would last at least half a day or even several days, involving intravenous tubes or even cutting her body open while conscious, accompanied by various uncomfortable sensations, and sometimes intense pain.

But Sigurd had only used his hands and instruments to examine her for a while.

It wasn't painful or uncomfortable, except for some embarrassment, and it ended quickly.

Were the researchers at the Oceania branch just not competent?

Or was this just an appetizer, with the real research yet to come?

And Sigurd, he didn't even bother to look at her, already starting on another experimental platform, manipulating the Third God Key he had just obtained.

Unlike the emotionless expression from before, he now seemed very interested, as if saying, "Wendy, how can you compare to the Third God Key?"

Wendy suddenly blushed again.

Lying on the experimental table, she tilted her head and looked at her smooth belly and white thighs, feeling a surge of dissatisfaction.

'How am I worse than that toy!?'

However, Sigurd still didn't pay any attention to her.

Or rather, he did, but only while manipulating the Third God Key, he didn't even raise his head, and nonchalantly said:

"Why aren't you leaving yet? Do you need me to have a robot carry you out?"

"…No need, I can manage on my own."

Wendy replied slowly, then gritted her teeth as she maneuvered herself onto the nearby wheelchair and left the lab.

...

"Freak! Weirdo! Idiot! No taste!"

Wendy rolled the wheels of the wheelchair, moving forward in the corridor while muttering discontentedly. Her delicate and beautiful teenage heart had already shattered.

"Don't say that. Big Brother Sigurd is just sometimes too focused on his work."

Seele, holding a drink, walked over from the side and aligned her wheelchair, but without pushing it unless Wendy requested.

Wendy rolled her eyes.

"I don't believe that!"

"Let me tell you, actually, Big Brother Sigurd is the one who made your wheelchair! Mister Welt originally wanted to make an automatically walking type for you, but Big Brother Sigurd said, since you're not truly helpless, why deprive you of that power?"

Seele said with a smiling face, popping open a cup holder on the wheelchair's armrest.

She placed the drink from the tray on it, inserted a straw, making it easy for Wendy to sip.

The perfect angle, along with the stable feeling of the wheelchair moving without much shaking, made Wendy realize that this wheelchair was indeed quite special.

"I'm not... helpless?"

Wendy murmured, touching the push handles on both sides, feeling a slight movement in her heart.

There was something different, but she didn't dislike this feeling.

"Hmph! He's just interested in the 'Gem of Desire' inside me."

"No, Brother Sigurd is actually very gentle. It's just that he doesn't express it."

"You're from his side-No, it's obvious you like him. Of course you'd speak up for him."

Seele blushed, using the tray to cover her face subconsciously, then shyly replied:

"Oh, you'll know later. Seele is helping Miss Raven get familiar with the environment here. Do you want to come along? Or you can go see Rozaliya and Liliya's practice. They're going to become a super idol duo!"

Seele said, blinking with a hint of anticipation in her sparkling eyes.

People with dreams and goals are really good.

Unlike her, she's satisfied with the stable environment now.

Besides wanting to see everyone every day and help with household chores, she doesn't have any noteworthy dreams.

Wendy raised an eyebrow, looking incredulous.

"Idols? Them?"

"Well, everyone should have dreams. With effort, Seele believes they can definitely achieve it."

"I think you could be an idol too. You are cute and gentle, the pure and obedient girl type. being an Idol should suit you well."

"Don't praise Seele. Seele will be shy..."

The two continued their conversation, gradually moving away.

Unaware that, if you ignore identity issues and only look at the scene, Wendy appeared quite relaxed. With a natural expression, smiling and frowning, she didn't exhibit the demeanor expected of a captive.
