Chapter 274: Chapter 33: Heavyweights Arrive
Luo Lin skillfully greeted Seele who was watching TV in the Sea of Quanta with the Key of Revelation, and sent breakfast to her.
Of course, the Valkyrie's breakfast wasn't just for Seele and herself; it was also for the Herrscher family next door, especially for a certain white fluffball.
However, Luo Lin gradually understood Kiana's appetite, and now the portion of food she cooked achieved a delicate balance: it was enough to fill her up, not quite full, but also not making her hungry, which was perfect.
"Mmm... Sister Luo Lin's cooking is still so delicious!"
As the white fluffball ate, it loudly praised the food. It seemed to have picked up a habit from somewhere, perhaps from drifting alone outside—praising the cook's skill might result in the cook giving the greedy white fluffball an extra spoonful of food.
"Alright, keep eating your..."
Luo Lin watched the restless Raiden Mei, knowing she was about to showcase her "armaments" for today. This was another reason why she only cooked this much, to leave some room in Kiana's stomach and let Raiden Mei expend a bit of energy on her evolving path as the Herrscher of Meals.
In other words, to gradually make the... dishes less ferocious.
At least Kiana now had the attitude of "edible" towards them.
But Luo Lin still maintained a cautious attitude about this, after all, Valkyries knew that Kaslana's taste seemed to be somewhat different from ordinary people's.
As for Bronya...
Three days ago, because she believed in Kiana, she suffered a small loss and had a tumultuous stomach all morning. So now she was acting very calm. It looks like Raiden Mei would need a bit more time to rebuild their trust in terms of taste.
Mei unveiled her new creation for the day—sandwiches that looked like they were made from ready-made ingredients, with a very low probability of failure.
But not zero.
Bronya watched as Kiana wolfed down the sandwiches, then looked at Mei's hopeful eyes. She finally grabbed one and took a small bite.
Thankfully, it was at a normal level.
Bronya breathed a sigh of relief.
"I really want to cook for Sister Bronya too..." Seele said with envy.
"Don't worry, your problem is being solved. Two top-notch scientists are busy at work..." Luo Lin reassured Seele, "Relax, we still have plenty of time... probably."
"Done eating! Let's go to class!"
Kiana put down her fork and knife. The plate in front of her was as clean as if it had been washed, a model student for the "clean plate campaign."
"Goodbye!"
"See you tonight!"
The white cat stood up, pulling Mei and Bronya out of the dorm.
"Um... I should go to class too."
Luo Lin packed up her things and headed to St. Freya Academy with her thick textbooks.
She was now taking courses for the S-rank Valkyries, which, if graduating from Valkyrie Academy was considered undergraduate, was equivalent to graduate-level courses.
The teacher and students of this class together didn't even fill up the front row of the small classroom, which was enough to give it a taste of graduate school.
"Turn to page..."
The teacher of this class was a middle-aged woman, already considered elderly in the Valkyrie profession. The fact that she hadn't been sent to a nursing home at this age, and could still walk and stand in the classroom to teach others, demonstrated her strong ability, agile mind, and very strong vitality, with an impressive resume to be a teacher.
Luo Lin couldn't help but think of the Moon Ring which had been sent back to the Schicksal's headquarters. She wondered how the reverse engineering was going.
She was really looking forward to it.
"Luo Lin, I saw the assignment you taught last time. Come up and explain to everyone why you arranged the battle lines like that."
"Here."
Luo Lin gladly stood up and went to the lectern, showing no signs of nervousness, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
Hehe, let me show everyone what I've learned from following Teacher Himiko's teachings for so long, and even commanding Valkyrie troops in the Chronicles!
-----------------------------
After a not-so-busy day of classes, Luo Lin returned to her dorm.
In the afternoon, Theresa sent a message on the Valkyries' communicator, saying that the cleanup work for the Honkai disaster in Nagazora City was nearing completion. Except for leaving behind necessary observation points, the remaining personnel would be withdrawn. Even the observation stations would gradually be replaced by unmanned devices, as Valkyries with resistance to Honkai were extremely important resources.
In other words, Captain... Commander Ragnarok would be back soon.
When she returned, she would probably find an opportunity to catch up with Luo Lin, right? Maybe even have a drink if she felt like it...
Uh, better not.
Oh, right, when the time comes, find a way to let Teacher Himiko and Captain Ragnarok meet directly. Since she can mingle with Otto, her authority must be substantial enough.
The setting sun cast a warm glow on the half-open window of the room, along with the working air conditioning, making the whole room comfortable and warm.
Luo Lin lay on the sofa, enjoying this wonderful moment.
"Master, is this your dorm? It doesn't look comfortable enough... Why not add more furniture?"
The voice of Selune's Elugy broke the tranquility, and the Valkyrie turned her head somewhat helplessly to see the ELF floating in the house, trying to sit on top of every piece of furniture.
After all, compared to her cute three-headed size, these furnishings were just too... big.
"Not all dorms need to be filled with comfort, Selune... After all, filling this dorm with furniture won't increase the number of rice balls."
Luo Lin coughed and replied, "Also, do you remember the agreement we made before I called you out?"
"No leaving Master's side to run around, no locking onto enemies and entering combat mode casually, use words carefully when communicating with others, and not all familiar faces are controlled by Master..."
Selune's Elugy recalled Senti, then nodded confidently.
"Humph, I have a good memory!"
The ELF seemed to have tired of playing with the things in the room. She sat on Luo Lin's shoulder, curiously asking, "So what's next? Are we going out to prepare for the next game plot?"
"We don't need to walk two steps and fight a wave of monsters that suddenly appear from nowhere anymore..."
Luo Lin stood up and opened the dorm's door.
"Selune understands, it's an open world, right?" Selune's Elugy blinked, "Wow, everyone's modeling is so detailed!"
"...That's not modeling."
The Valkyrie began to ponder whether to let Klein produce a relatively "normal" data on the world's understanding...
"Oh oh! Selune's Elegy sense a mysterious aura—it's a partner who shares the same field as I!"
Selune's Elugy floated up excitedly, locking her gaze on a certain blue-purple-haired girl who walked out from around the corner.
Raiden Mei: "?"
