Far East, St. Freya Academy.
The golden-eyed boy sat in the principal's chair, reading through the most recent records.
Beside him, his maid with waist-length hair smiled as she handed him one intelligence report after another.
The one placed at the very top was, of course, the record of the Second Herrscher Subjugation War of the year 2000.
The Second Herrscher—who could be called the most dangerous Herrscher in history—was heavily injured by a sneak attack from the Herrscher of Reason residing within the core she had seized after effortlessly crushing Schicksal's strongest squad, Snowwolf. 'She' was then completely killed under the joint strike of Schicksal and Anti-Entropy.
Subsequently, Schicksal launched an ambush against Welt and Siegfried, but it was thwarted by the usual sit-up-doing Welt Yang.
This was Schicksal's official record of the Second Eruption.
"Seeing myself recorded in history under my lover's name is really quite strange."
The gentleman Second Herrscher, who had historically taken a total of five Honkai Fission Missiles and three Silver Bullets, extended his hand, now adorned with a ring, and tossed the file aside.
Nuclear weapons are terrifying.
Anyone who bothered to search "nuclear explosion" on Baidu would gain a sober understanding of a nuke's intensity.
That thing is essentially a super-miniature sun with an extremely short existence.
But a nuclear weapon is, after all, only a super-miniature sun, not the genuine article at the center of the solar system.
Hoping to directly kill a certain someone who could achieve percentage-based damage reduction with Kavacha and Kundala, a specific numerical damage reduction with Vijaya, as well as an unlimited energy supply from the Sea of Life and multiple life bars, was obviously just a dream.
But the Second Herrscher was still "eliminated."
After the nuclear explosions were over, Li Zihan left the core containing Sirin's consciousness there and then slipped away.
Not seeing the Herrscher at the blast site, only the Second Herrscher's core, could only be interpreted as the Second Herrscher being dead.
However, even so, the Schicksal side was on tenterhooks for a long time.
After all...
The fact that the First Herrscher, Welt Yang, was constantly doing sit-ups brought a certain possibility to mind.
The Second Herrscher also possessed the ability to resurrect.
Clearly, if this possibility were to become reality, it would be truly terrifying.
If that Herrscher who had hammered the top combat forces of both Schicksal and Anti-Entropy into the ground were to truly revive, it would be a natural disaster.
Only after repeatedly confirming that the Second Herrscher wouldn't suddenly flip open its coffin and give their side a taste of his Sword of Rupture style did Schicksal finally retrieve the Second Herrscher's core.
"Overall, this development is not too bad."
The boy very carefully took off the ring on his hand, placed it in a very exquisite small box, and put it away.
"Is that a wedding ring?"
The Scummy Maid, who had clearly seen the certain someone take a ring off his left ring finger, had a slight smile form on the corner of her lips—the kind that deserved to be [bleeped].
She had a feeling that if word got out about the Director getting married, there would be some fun to watch.
"Yeah, Mei and I got married."
While Schicksal was nervously observing the activity of the Second Herrscher's core, he had already slipped away to hold a wedding, and even had a honeymoon.
Then, after saying all this, the boy looked at the certain someone with a smile that looked like it should be reported to the tax office, a playful glint in his eyes.
"Are you thinking of spreading this news around?"
"I am, a little bit."
The maid, who knew very well that there was no need to lie in front of Mr. Captain, spoke words that were deserving of a good fucking, all with a moving smile that could evoke pity.
She pressed her face close to the boy's ear and spoke in a very charming tone.
"After all, I would love to see the Captain's heroic figure (pathetic state) as he navigates a shuraba."
The boy stared at the Scummy Maid, who had "I want to stir up trouble" practically written on her face, and then laughed.
If he didn't have his time-related abilities, he would definitely be pushed into a desperate situation.
After all, quite a few of his girlfriends were jealous types.
But time can solve all problems, can't it?
Playing games with Kiana, visiting HOMU Land with Bronya, having tea with Mei, taking Seele to the aquarium, going to a snack street with Ana, accompanying Wendy's dancing...
Completing all of the above events in a single day was standard procedure for a certain guy.
After completing dates of more than eight hours with all of his girlfriends in one day, he even had time to tease Durandal, feed the Luna Kindred cat, and bang Rita.
"I don't mind you spreading this matter all over the place."
The boy, who had promised to prepare a grand wedding for each of his lovers, smiled, then spoke to that Scummy Maid with great interest.
"But do you know the price of doing so?"
Hearing this, Rita's expression stiffened slightly.
Generally speaking, Li Zihan would absolutely not get rough with his lovers.
It was an almost weekly occurrence for him, with his off-the-charts combat value, to be chased around by a girl wielding a broom or a feather duster.
But there are no absolutes.
The Scummy Maid, who had been almost fucked to tears on more than one occasion, recalled certain past situations that were truly unbearable to look back on. Her expression became slightly unnatural, and a hint of vexation appeared on her ever-smiling face.
Being pinned to a desk or bed by the Captain and fiercely taken from behind while he was on a call with Lady Durandal was a bit much even for her.
But speaking of which, Lady Durandal seemed to be ordering punching bags with the Captain's face printed on them these past two days.
Miss Rita, who vaguely remembered Miss Durandal having already burst thirty punching bags this morning, started looking at a certain someone with a strange expression.
This guy couldn't possibly have gotten to Lady Durandal, could he?
"Lord Captain, could you tell me a little about what you were doing during the Second Eruption?"
Miss Scummy Maid tried to probe from the side what on earth a certain guy had done.
"I didn't do much."
The boy, who felt that it would be very interesting to wait for a certain tsundere goose to confess, smiled slightly and spoke to the girl with waist-length hair.
"I was just thinking, when will I be able to openly and properly hold you in my arms."
"Is that sort of thing really necessary?"
The maid, who seemed to prefer being a mistress to getting married, had a charming smile curl up on the corners of her lips.
She had seen Miss Ana, with a lipstick mark still on her lips, rushing out of the office in a panic after Miss Mei had left.
"I think compared to a wife who runs around for another girl all day, you would prefer a mistress hiding under the table, wouldn't you?"
"And what if I answer that I prefer the former?"
Although he felt it would be interesting to wait for the tsundere goose to confess, the boy, who didn't mind taking the initiative, looked at the Scummy Maid with a smile that wasn't quite a smile.
Rita was stunned for a moment, then a radiant smile bloomed on her face.
"Have you completely fallen for me?"
"If you fall into my clutches this easily, your reputation as a playboy will be damaged, you know."
"And if I were to answer that I have fallen for you?"
