"Are we going in the right direction, Zeus?"
Mei asked Zeus, who was leading the way. Although the'SOS' sound had been nearby and calling for help, why hadn't they seen anyone? This made Mei very confused.
"The direction is right, Mei! I'm a professional at finding people (and tricking them), so I definitely won't be wrong."
Of course she knew what Mei was worried about, but that older loli wasn't someone a mere Honkai beast could deal with. Moreover, Zeus knew Theresa's intention was to play with them. Zeus was now deliberately avoiding her trap, continuously leading Mei and the others around Theresa's trap, to see how long this big loli could wait.
"Hmm, understood."
Listening to Zeus's confident words, Mei said nothing more. However, she was also a little puzzled. Why did the cry for help sound like it was coming from a repeater, with only one tone, not at all like someone genuinely startled?
"Why haven't they come yet? The landing spot should be not far from them, so why aren't they here yet?"
Theresa, perched on a utility pole like a nimble monkey, her legs tightly clamped around the pole, one hand steadying herself, began to look around. She really didn't understand why they hadn't arrived yet. She had been shouting very loudly, and to keep her voice from getting hoarse, she had even recorded her voice with a megaphone and then used it to shout. They shouldn't have been unable to hear her. Did they give up on rescuing her? That shouldn't be! She remembered her Kiana was a very good and kind child; how could she abandon someone calling for help?
"Did they get lost? Uh~! Yes, it's really possible they got lost. They don't have an electronic map to mark their location."
Theresa was talking to herself, while on the Hyperion, Himeko, holding a bucket of popcorn, looked on with amusement at the optical screen, which was now split into two perspectives. From time to time, she let out a pleasant laugh, nearly spilling popcorn on the floor. One screen showed Theresa, the overall commander of their Asian branch of Schicksal and the Dean of St. Freya Academy. At this moment, Theresa was clutching a utility pole in a monkey-like posture, which Himeko found incredibly amusing. Didn't she think of standing on top of the pole or finding a lower or higher rooftop? It was truly too funny.
The other optical screen showed Zeus and the four continuously circling Theresa's vicinity. This scene made Himeko incredibly impressed. The girl leading them was doing an amazing job! How could she perfectly avoid them, see all of Theresa's perspectives, and Theresa's perspective? If she had this divine skill, she wouldn't get caught drinking!
"Himeko, report their position."
Theresa, who was getting a bit impatient waiting on the utility pole, finally established communication with the Hyperion and began to ask Himeko.
"They're right near you, Dean!"
Himeko, suppressing her laughter, watched as Zeus once again led Mei and the others through another diagonal path, and neither Theresa nor they themselves noticed each other. This made Himeko exclaim in her heart how miraculous it was!
"Did they get lost? Can't find my location?"
Theresa couldn't help but ask. She didn't want to hang there forever; it was a bit embarrassing.
"Uh, pretty much! They probably got lost!"
Himeko said with some uncertainty. She couldn't explain this phenomenon and could only use the 'getting lost' explanation.
"Uh~ Is there any way to attract them over?"
Theresa asked her capable subordinate. She really didn't want to hang like this anymore.
"I say, Dean, if they can't find you, can't you actively look for them?"
Himeko said helplessly. Hearing her words, Theresa felt two crows fly over her head, cawing 'idiot, idiot' as they flew.
"N-Nonsense, send me their route."
Theresa, blushing with embarrassment, directly bent the utility pole. She waved her small hand and said.
"Alright, alright."
Having been with Theresa for so long, Himeko was already accustomed to Theresa's occasional clumsy and adorable behavior. So, she investigated Zeus and their route and sent it to Theresa. Upon receiving Zeus and their location, Theresa kicked away the surrounding Honkai beasts and went to intercept Zeus and her group. She didn't want to stay in that embarrassing place for another moment.
"Are they here, this foolish loli?"
Zeus, still strolling around, felt Theresa approaching. This time, she didn't deliberately dodge. Theresa clearly took a shortcut through a small alley and ran ahead of Zeus and her group, starting to run towards them head-on. In less than five minutes, they were face to face. This was even after Theresa deliberately slowed down to allow the slow Honkai beasts to catch up.
"Help, come quickly and save me!"
Seeing Zeus and her group, the big loli's attitude clearly changed. With tears in her eyes, she weakly called for help towards Zeus and her group. But Zeus, with her excellent eyesight, saw everything. The corner of Zeus's mouth twitched. This scene was too familiar; wasn't it the lost little nun from Honkai Impact 2? After painstakingly taking her to the destination, she pulled out something she wanted that was bigger than her, and then beat her up.
As Theresa approached, Zeus adjusted her mindset, a saintly smile on her face, and extended her hands to welcome Theresa. Zeus's smile lowered Theresa's guard to the minimum. As if infected by the atmosphere, she also extended her hands to embrace Zeus. Zeus directly hugged Theresa. Due to the height difference, Zeus slightly bent her waist, and Theresa plunged headfirst into Zeus's ample chest.
"Don't worry! We're here."
Though she said that, Zeus forcefully pressed Theresa's head into her chest, which was even larger than Himeko's. 'I'll play with you, you wretched girl. I'll suffocate you, believe me,' she thought. Zeus covered Theresa's head and started to apply pressure. The place that would drive men crazy instantly became a suffocating hell.
"Wuwuwu! (Almost out of breath)"
Theresa, who had struggled at first, slowly lost strength and then gracefully fainted in Zeus's chest. This scene made Himeko drop her popcorn.
"Let's get out of here quickly!"
Zeus, looking at Kiana and the others, who had already dealt with the Honkai beasts that had caught up, said, if they stayed here, more Honkai beasts would come, and the culprit was the older loli who had fainted in Zeus's arms.
The three nodded, knowing what would happen, and began to move towards their original planned exit route from the city.
"How frustrating, I still have to clean up the mess."
Watching Zeus and her group leave from the Hyperion, and seeing that the instruments showed her body was completely normal, Himeko was relieved to leave the Dean to Zeus and her group. Pulling up another screen, Himeko looked at Judah, hidden in the corner of the screen, and began to issue orders to the transport department to retrieve Judah.
