Chapter 139: Raiden Mei: Doctor Tesla! What Are You Doing?!
"My daughter! That's my daughter!"
"She cooked for me, bandaged my wounds, and even took care of me when I was drunk! My daughter!"
Siegfried cried in despair, he had lost a good daughter.
Now, his good daughter had become small and was about to go out with some other strange beings.
Bronya felt that something was off.
She asked curiously, "Mr. Siegfried, if you don't mind me asking… how old was Kiana when she took care of you?"
"She was very young back then, maybe eight or nine, ten at most," Siegfried reminisced about his little cotton-padded jacket, now completely corrupted by the future human.
Bronya was shocked.
If Kiana was really an orphan, then that would've been one thing, as orphans didn't really have rights.
But Kiana could cook, bandage wounds, and take care of a drunk, middle-aged man at such a young age.
"That's not a daughter, that's a cheap child laborer! If you don't mind me being nosy, how many gifts have you given Kiana? How many times have you taken care of her?"
"......"
Siegfried's face paled. He hadn't actually treated Kiana as his daughter at first.
It was only after Kiana actively sought him out and tried to fight the Honkai beasts that he gradually accepted the little girl as his second child.
"Isn't that the same as not having a father? She probably didn't even know what it was like to have parents. So this 'ignorance is bliss' situation arose."
Bronya 'comforted' him, "Don't worry, I think Noldrei will be a good father. Although he always emphasizes that he's matriarchal, has independent reproductive capabilities, and always claims that he should be called 'Mother,' this period might just be her happiest time of playing around."
Wasn't this a form of NTR?
Siegfried was completely crushed. He transformed into his dragon form, found the most secluded corner of the house, and hid there.
"Sigh… such is fate…"
Bronya sighed, she herself had inexplicably been turned into a pony.
She didn't even know why she was punished along with Cocolia. That damn Noldrei didn't learn anything good after coming to modern times, but quickly mastered all the PUA techniques of a leader.
Fortunately, she hadn't been subjected to Doctor Tesla's treatment yet.
Doctor Tesla was in a good mood right now. She was even humming while doing her experiment.
Doctor Tesla was carefully examining Wendy's body. After all, only Wendy and herself had been implanted with living Stigmata by Noldrei.
No matter how many times Tesla saw this mechanism of compensating for Honkai energy, she couldn't help but admire how the future human had played with the structure of organic life.
"Wendy, don't be afraid. Other than his abnormal mind and different hobbies, there's nothing to be afraid of. He's usually a good person who just likes to stay home and play games."
Doctor Tesla gently comforted Wendy, looking like a young wife comforting a daughter older than herself.
This made Wendy feel somewhat strange.
'Does this Doctor have some strange fetishes? Why is she so happy after being disciplined like that?'
Who in this villa didn't know about Tesla's situation?
Probably only Doctor Tesla herself didn't know.
But others couldn't tell if she was pretending or if she was really like that.
"Doctor Tesla, I'm fine, it's just…"
"I know, I know," Tesla comforted the little girl, saying, "I know you sometimes can't help but want to stab Theresa Apocalypse. But this is actually the result of a misunderstanding. Theresa herself was also tricked. If she had intentionally pushed you into a pit of fire, then she wouldn't have left for Schicksal HQ to establish St. Freya High School, would she?"
Wendy wanted to say something else. What she couldn't accept was that Theresa had made such a mistake.
Sometimes it was like this. The closer someone was, the easier it was to trust them, but also the harder it was to accept their mistakes.
"But, Theresa… I…"
Wendy's explanation didn't soften Doctor Tesla's heart.
Doctor Tesla flicked Wendy on the forehead and explained helplessly, "Do you think I'm trying to persuade you to make up with Theresa? Don't be ridiculous. I'm persuading you not to cause trouble, not to make that person annoyed. Understand? It doesn't matter for Theresa. But it will be a problem if you can't gradually change and accept your current self."
"You don't want to be casually played around with by tentacles, do you?"
Raiden Mei's pupils dilated. When she was listening, she thought Doctor Tesla was comforting Wendy, but it turned out to be a threat.
Wendy's face turned pale with fright, starting to question her time as a pony.
The time as a pony wasn't very long, just long enough to make her feel like every second was an eternity.
Tesla didn't even know what to say to Wendy anymore.
Noldrei didn't care about the internal strife within modern human civilization. Just like how he didn't care how the people of Japan governed.
But he never allowed the people he influenced to kill each other.
Compared to those scumbags throughout history, Noldrei could be considered a good leader who gave his subordinates maximum freedom.
'I have completely mastered the future human!'
Doctor Tesla followed up on Wendy's suggestion, "I think you can recognize him as your father. That way, he might help you get revenge."
Wendy's expression changed, as if she was seriously considering this idea.
"As long as you accept his ideas, accept his will, then Noldrei will definitely stand by your side and teach Theresa a lesson."
"Compared to a person's physical body, hobbies, or ethics, Noldrei needs someone who can understand his ideas, an executive who can spread his will. You can try being the first."
Doctor Tesla wasn't entirely sure about Noldrei's course of action. But she vaguely sensed that Noldrei himself had a strong sense of human pride.
That was to say, he naturally needed a future human society supported by humans. From this perspective, Noldrei would naturally want humanity to continue to exist.
This person would definitely be Honkai's nemesis.
If even humanity was gone, then who would inherit his ideologies?
He couldn't have Honkai beasts inherit human ideologies, could he?
Raiden Mei saw the excitement on Wendy's face. Was this girl actually tempted?
No wonder she was tricked into participating in that Herrscher core experiment.
'Doctor Tesla! What are you doing?! Why do you look like an evil god's follower?!'
'She's just a middle school girl who had to take two years off from school due to her leg injury!'
Doctor Tesla extended a recruiting hand to Wendy.
'Join our army of living Stigmata! Fight for the bright future of mankind!'
