You wouldn't want them to be bullied, would you?

If Sirin wanted to, she could easily kill anyone except the Herrscher of Reason.

After all, Sirin isn't that arrogant "pufferfish" who has the ability to attack from a great distance but still chooses to fight at close range.

Taking advantage of others' rest or when they are off guard can achieve twice the result with half the effort.

The gun is easy to hide, and the dark arrow is hard to prevent.

That's exactly right.

"Your Majesty, isn't this getting too close..."

"Sirin isn't some queen, she's the magical girl Sirin-chan!"

"……Ok, I see."

"From now on, we're partners! Since we're partners, we should naturally be closer!"

Sirin took Bella's arm, treating Bella not at all as a "servant" or "family member".

Bella seemed a little uncomfortable with this intimate behavior and acted rather reserved.

As Sirin and Bella flew into space, Siegfried and his men belatedly noticed them and immediately launched an attack without hesitation.

Suddenly, a large number of missiles rose from the ground, their targets being Celine and Bella.

Chapter Nineteen: The Self-Cultivation of a Maid

Facing the barrage of missiles, Bella merely glanced at them sideways before turning her attention away.

It was this one glance that caused the missiles to seem to lose power, falling one after another to the ground, like a real "missile rain".

This is simply "EMP jamming," causing missiles launched from the ground to malfunction and fail to achieve their intended effect.

Since Qiu Bi's orders were to go to the moon, neither Sirin nor Bella wanted to waste time on Siegfried and the others.

Sirin and Bella ascended at such a rapid speed that after the missile barrage failed to have any effect, the two women disappeared from Siegfried and the others' sight.

"The Herrscher escaped?"

"No, that's not right... If nothing unexpected happens, the Herrscher's target should be the moon!"

Einstein knew what existed on the far side of the moon, and was therefore certain of Sirin and Bella's purpose.

The far side of the moon contains a portion of the power of the previous generation's Herrscher of the End, approximately 30% of the Honkai energy within the Herrscher of the End.

This Honkai energy may be a disaster for humanity, but for the Herrschers, it is undoubtedly a gift from "God".

"The moon... a decision must be made. After obtaining that Honkai energy, the Second Herrscher will become even stronger!"

"So... Lord Alliance Leader, what are you planning to do?"

"I must go to the moon and meet the Second Herrscher in person."

The leader of Anti-Entropy, Welt Yang, pushed up his black-rimmed glasses, his expression rather solemn. "Since the Second Herrscher did not immediately launch a Honkai War, it means there is still room for maneuver. Perhaps the Second Herrscher will also stand on the side of humanity."

"Lord Alliance Leader, your idea is a bit naive. We must prepare for the worst."

"Of course I know. As for now... it's time to contact Otto."

……

The far side of the moon.

Celine and Bella slowly descended onto the desolate lunar surface, looking around in bewilderment.

"Big brother, this place is too desolate... Sirin doesn't want to stay here!"

"Cirin, let's hold on for a while."

Unlike the Herrschers, Qiu Bi cannot ignore the vacuum environment of the moon, so he cannot leave Sirin's imaginary space and can only stay in the imaginary space to command Sirin and Bella.

However, with Sirin and Bella's abilities, they are more than capable of solving most of the problems they encounter. As for the problems they cannot solve...

At that time, Qiu Bi will further enhance the strength of Sirin and Bella, thus giving them the power to sweep away all problems.

"Okay... Sirin will listen to her big brother."

Celine responded dejectedly, then asked, "Big brother, what are we going to do next?"

"Let's go to the far side of the moon first. You and Bella should be able to sense the Honkai energy sealed on the moon."

"Ah."

Celine and Bella nodded in unison, and then flew together to the far side of the moon.

Before long, a scene of broken walls and ruins appeared before the two women.

Time has left its mark on these ruins, giving them a sense of antiquity.

"here it is……"

"The power of 'God' is sealed here, which is why our older brother sent us here."

Xilin landed gracefully, then slowly walked towards the broken walls and ruins.

Bella landed on the ground, her lightning-woven wings fluttering slightly before gradually dissipating.

"The power of God..."

Bella murmured something, then quickly caught up with Celine.

The two women walked slowly into the ruins, one after the other, and stopped at a desolate, dilapidated square.

In the center of the square, an irregularly shaped yellow prismatic crystal floated in mid-air, emitting a bright light.

Rectangular pieces of material interlock to form a undulating "shell" like flowing water. The "shell" partially conceals the crystal, thus protecting it while preventing it from being completely enclosed.

Sensing the immense Honkai energy sealed within the prismatic crystal, Sirin couldn't help but smile: "After absorbing this Honkai energy, Sirin will become much stronger!"

Xilin knew that without power, she couldn't do anything, let alone make the world a better place. She might not even be able to protect her beloved older brother and mother.

"Bella, wait for me here... Why don't you go into the Imaginary Space and chat with your older brother?"

Celine quickly changed her mind halfway through her sentence.

Absorbing this Honkai energy might take a long time, and during that time she might not be able to keep an eye on Qiu Bi and Bella's condition. To avoid them getting bored, she simply sent Bella into the imaginary space.

In Xilin's view, one is her beloved older brother, and the other is her first partner. Naturally, she cannot favor one over the other and must take care of both.

That's why Sirin came up with this idea.

"As ordered."

Bella had no objection to Sirin's instructions, and then stepped into the purple void, arriving at the imaginary space.

At this moment, Qiu Bi was sitting cross-legged on the ground, with a purple void floating in front of him, displaying the scene that Xilin's eyes had seen.

As Bella entered the imaginary space, Qiu Bi looked at her.

"Bella, sit next to me."

As Qiu Bi spoke, he gently patted the ground beside him, gesturing for Bella to sit there.

Seeing this, Bella nodded and gracefully walked towards Qiu Bi.

Bella in human form looks exactly like "Bella," the friend Celine met in the Babylonian laboratory, except for her hair color.

In Sirin's memory, Bella had long gray hair, while the Bella that Benares transformed into had long light blue hair.

Furthermore, as a Judgment-class Honkai Beast, Bella's body proportions are extremely perfect. Unfortunately, her physical age is only 13 years old, so no matter how perfect she is, she still looks very thin.

"Bella, will your body continue to develop?"

"Development...does that mean growth?"

"You can understand it that way."

"Yes, my lord. You have given me the Herrscher Core, which gives me a human body and the ability to think. Naturally, I will grow with age just like a human."

"So, does that mean... as we get older, our bodies will gradually age?"

"Hmm...that's certainly a possibility."

"I see... I understand now."

Qiu Bi nodded in realization, then reached out and stroked Bella's head.

Compared to the obedient and proactive Celine, Bella appeared rather reserved and even tense when Qiu Bi touched her.

Apart from that, the feeling of touching Bella is almost the same as the feeling of touching Sirin, with no significant difference.

"Bella, don't be so nervous. I'm going to give you some abilities now."

The contract grants you culinary expertise!

The contract grants you expertise in housework!

Contractual empowerment – ​​Nursing specialization!

The contract grants you—good fortune in times of trouble!

The contract grants—high-speed self-healing!

The contract grants you—the maid's self-cultivation (mastery)!

Chapter Twenty: Sirin Refuses to Communicate with "God"

With the granting of six abilities, Qiu Bi now possesses seven contract fragments, and will soon be able to select abilities again.

These six new abilities did not significantly enhance Bella's strength; instead, they granted her unparalleled domestic skills.

“Maid…I understand.” Bella nodded gently. “I will fulfill my duties as a ‘maid’ and take good care of you and Your Majesty.”

"Don't force yourself too much. Also... didn't Sirin forbid you from calling her 'Your Majesty'? Since Sirin has said so, just call her by her real name from now on."

"Yes, I will obey your command."

Bella lowered her eyelids, crossed her long legs at her sides, and sat obediently and docilely beside Qiu Bi with a serene expression.

After waiting patiently for about half an hour, Celine slowly walked away from the prismatic crystal.

Compared to before, Sirin has changed dramatically.

Leaving aside the dense Honkai energy surging around her, the most obvious feature was the four ribbons extending from the hem of her skirt.
