It was only after all the crates filled with Honkai Energy crystals were moved out that Elysia and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Aili, how did you gather all that Honkai Energy?" Himeko asked, a little curious.
Normal Valkyries could manipulate some Honkai Energy through their armor, but they absolutely could not reach the level Elysia did, which was an energy reaction of Herrscher intensity.
"Sister Himeko, it's this," Elysia said, taking off her headpiece and pointing to the gem on it.
"I got this during a previous mission; it's a herrscher gem."
"A herrscher gem?" Himeko reached out to touch it.
But Elysia quickly pulled her hand back, "Sister Himeko, you can't just touch this casually, something bad will happen."
"It's just a stone, what could happen?" Himeko said indifferently.
"Sister Himeko, it's really not that I don't want you to touch it," Elysia said, pushing away Himeko's hand, which was reaching out again, with some helplessness.
"This herrscher gem, if you touch it directly, people can really die. The Honkai Beasts and Death Soldier around us were caused by this gem."
"But it's fine in your hand," Himeko said after hearing Elysia's explanation, no longer reaching out to touch the gem.
Because Elysia wouldn't lie to her about this, it meant the gem was indeed very dangerous.
"So this gem is staying with you?"
"Yes, after the mission, this gem stayed with me. After all, I can touch this gem freely, and I don't need any other container," Elysia said, putting her headpiece back on.
"I was wondering when your headpiece changed," Himeko said, examining Elysia's headpiece.
She hadn't looked at it closely before, but now that she did, she realized that Elysia's headpiece really suited her temperament.
The purple gem, the white ornaments, plus Elysia's blue-purple gradient hair.
"Alright, since we're here, let's go see how Kiana and the others are doing. Judging by their location, they should be close to the control room," Himeko said, rubbing Elysia's hair. Her hand still wanted to touch the gem.
But before she could touch it, Elysia slapped her hand away.
"Then Sister Himeko, and Fu Hua, follow me," Elysia ran towards a direction.
On a shelf, Elysia reached out and pushed open a hidden door.
After walking in and winding around a few times, Elysia and the others entered the battleship's bridge.
"Aili, have you been here before? You're so familiar with it," Himeko asked, curiously watching Elysia, who was leading the way.
"No, I haven't, but the battleship's structural diagram is available on this battleship's internal system," Elysia said, directly opening the battleship's structural diagram on her terminal.
"We are here now, and Kiana and the others..." Elysia opened their own channel to take a look, then marked it on the battleship's structural diagram.
"Kiana and the others are here now. They're quite diligent, aren't they? They're almost at the command room."
"You don't think about who they train with every day. If they don't make any more progress, they'll be completely left behind by the two of you," Himeko said in an annoyed tone.
Elysia and Fu Hua, the two of them, were going to make the students in the class feel completely defeated.
"Alright, doesn't this prove that Sister Himeko teaches well ♬ ~" Elysia went over and hugged Himeko's arm.
"Let's go, let's go. By the time we get there, Kiana and the others should have cleared the command room ♬ ~"
Himeko was thus pulled by Elysia, walking through the internal passage of the battleship.
Before long, they arrived at the entrance of the command room, or rather, the battleship's control center.
Himeko was about to say that they didn't have permission to enter, but the command room door opened by itself.
Himeko swore she had never seen a battleship with such low security. The door just opened for anyone? What if it was an enemy who came aboard?
After they walked in, they saw Kiana and the other two standing in front of the control panel.
"Elysia, you're here!" Kiana waved and greeted Elysia.
"Yes, yes, we're here. The performance of the three little geniuses is quite dazzling ♬ ~"
"Hehe, just so-so, Kiana, I haven't even used half of my strength yet!" Kiana said, scratching the back of her head sheepishly.
"Teacher Himeko, the battleship's system has no login password, only a strange email," Bronya said, operating the battleship's system.
"Bronya, open the email, but be careful of Trojan viruses. This battleship is too suspicious," Himeko said, looking at the control interface with a serious expression.
"A control system with no login password, what's the difference between that and just giving us the battleship?"
"Yes, Teacher Himeko, Bronya will prepare precautions."
After the check was completed, Bronya opened the email.
This email was indeed just a normal email, with no Trojan viruses.
However, the content of the email made everyone look at Kiana.
'Dear Kiana, hello!
This battleship, Moonlight Throne, is finally returned to you after sixteen years.
You will ascend the throne and shape a new world.
But before that, you still need to find four keys.
Conquering lightning, epidemic flames, yearning storms, tranquil death.
The password for the battleship's navigation system is your birthday ~'
"Why are you looking at me? I don't know whose battleship this is! If I find out who's playing a prank, I'm going to smash their head in!" Kiana felt the surrounding gazes and couldn't help but shout out loudly.
"Kiana, do you know anyone who would send you a battleship?" Himeko asked, a little strangely.
"Never mind, I didn't ask..." Himeko changed her words as soon as she finished speaking, because among the people Kiana knew, while none built battleships, some did own them.
"Huh? Oh, right! Aunt Himeko! What's going on with this battleship?! Why is this navigation password my birthday?!" Kiana asked, pointing at the control panel.
"We don't know whose battleship it is either," Himeko shook her head. "But as for where it came from, that should be asked of Anti-Entropy."
"Anti-Entropy? I don't know anyone from Anti-Entropy," Kiana said, confused. "Could it be my dad?"
"Alright, Kiana, for now, just enter your birthday. Otherwise, I can go up and enter it for you," Elysia interrupted the person who was about to ponder.
"How does Elysia know my birthday?" Kiana asked Bronya directly.
"Alright, Kiana, stop messing around. Bronya, Kiana's birthday is December 7th," Mei directly stated Kiana's birthday.
"Huh? How can you just believe what's in the email? What if it's a trap?" Kiana quickly said.
But then, the battleship's system prompted that the navigation system was unlocked, and the destination had also been changed to St. Freya Academy under Bronya's operation.
"It really was my birthday? Do I have such a rich friend who would just give me a battleship?" Kiana frowned, pondering.
(In the original plot, it was fourteen years ago, but the Second Eruption was clearly in 2000, so it should have been sixteen years ago. I took the liberty of changing it.)
