"If I hadn't participated in that experiment, would I be an S-Rank Valkyrie now?" Wendy asked herself inwardly.
After thinking for a while, Wendy smiled bitterly and shook her head. If S-Rank Valkyries were all such monsters, then she might need to train for even longer.
"Wendy, Sister Ellie and the others are very strong. They might be able to help you solve the problem with the gem. Please believe us," Bronya said softly.
"Mm, I believe you, Sister Bronya." Wendy stopped thinking about other things.
She felt particularly relaxed now; no one was talking in her head.
She looked at the chains on her body. These chains were illusory; her hand could easily pass through them.
She understood that these chains were Yudas Chains. She hadn't expected them to have such a function.
The two of them held each other like that and fell asleep again.
By the time they woke up again, it was already morning.
Looking at Wendy's clothes, "Wendy, wait a moment. Bronya will go borrow a set of clothes from Kiana."
With that, Bronya quickly got up, put on her clothes, and went to borrow clothes from Kiana.
Not long after, Bronya returned.
After changing into Kiana's clothes, Wendy pulled at the chest area, "Sister Bronya, it's so tight around the chest."
Bronya looked at Wendy's chest, which had stretched the entire outfit.
She hadn't expected that, even though it didn't look very big, it seemed very tight after putting on Kiana's clothes.
After thinking for a moment, "Bronya will go find Sister Ellie. Wendy should be able to wear Sister Ellie's clothes."
Not long after, Aili walked in with Bronya.
Looking at the awakened Wendy, "How did you sleep last night, Miss Wendy ♬ ~" Aili greeted her with a smile.
"Oh my, Miss Wendy looks really cute now ♬ ~" Before Wendy could say anything, Aili walked up to her.
"Kiana's clothes are indeed a bit too small. As for Miss Wendy now…" Aili looked at the clothes Bronya was holding behind her.
Aili directly picked out many clothes from the wardrobe and placed them on Wendy one by one to compare.
"This one is so cute, and this one too. Bronya, what do you think of this one?"
Aili looked at the clothes excitedly, feeling that no matter which one it was, it suited Wendy very well.
"This one is good!" To avoid being treated like a dress-up doll again, Wendy directly grabbed a set of casual clothes from the side.
The top was a T-shirt, and the bottom was shorts.
"Mm, this is also very cute. No, I should say, very cool ♬ ~" Aili said with a smile.
Wendy's hair wasn't very long to begin with; she just needed to comb and wash it.
She helped Wendy to the full-length mirror, "Look, how is it? Isn't it very cute ♬ ~"
Wendy looked at herself in the mirror and seemed much more energetic, perhaps related to having a good night's sleep.
On her exposed arms and calves, there were some illusory chains wrapped around them.
"Thank you…" Wendy said softly. Although she looked very cute, Wendy still felt that the clothes on her body seemed a bit loose.
"Since you're all dressed, let's go downstairs for breakfast ♬ ~" Aili directly picked Wendy up.
"Bronya, let's go, time to eat ♬ ~"
After calling out to Bronya, who was tidying up other clothes nearby, Aili directly carried Wendy out of the room.
Wendy bit her lip and buried her head in Aili's chest.
Downstairs, Aili placed Wendy at the dining table.
"Sister Ellie, you're down. Is Miss Wendy awake too?" Mei said as she carried dishes to the dining table.
"Yes, she is. Look, isn't Miss Wendy very cute now ♬ ~" Aili said with a smile.
"She is very cute, Sister Ellie. Could you go call Headmaster Theresa and Himeko Teacher? They haven't gotten up yet." Mei said, then continued to carry dishes.
Leaving Bronya to look after Wendy, Aili went upstairs to call Theresa and the others.
Sitting at the dining table, Theresa cautiously looked at Wendy.
"Theresa Teacher, you don't have to look at me like that." Wendy said after sighing.
"Um, Wendy, I'm sorry." Theresa said softly.
"It's okay. Theresa Teacher came to save me; I'm already very satisfied." Wendy shook her head and said.
At this moment, Wendy had also calmed down. Without the interference of other voices, Wendy also seemed much weaker.
"Is that so, Wendy? These past two years, I'm sorry. I truly didn't know that the Oceania region was like that. I never received any news…" Although Wendy had forgiven her, Theresa remained like this.
"Theresa Teacher, you don't look like yourself right now." Saying that, Wendy picked up a bun and held it to Theresa's mouth.
Looking at the bun, then at Wendy, Theresa took a direct bite and then took the bun with her hand.
"That's more like it. The Theresa Teacher I know has always been this cute."
This breakfast was quickly over.
In the living room, Xiao Xuan looked at Wendy's calves, using various instruments to test them.
Bronya and Theresa were nearby; everyone else was either working or training.
"This form…" Xiao Xuan pressed Wendy's calf with her hand, "Do you feel anything?"
"Yes, I do." Wendy nodded.
"It's just that you can't move, right?"
"Mm…" After Wendy replied, she fell silent.
"Xiao Xuan, how are Wendy's legs? Can they recover?" Bronya asked directly after Xiao Xuan finished her examination.
"This child's calf bones have completely fused with the so-called gem of desire," Xiao Xuan directly stated her conclusion.
"Is that so?" Wendy smiled bitterly.
"Is there no way to remove it and let Wendy recover normally?" Bronya asked anxiously.
"Sister Bronya, it's already fine." Wendy directly shook her head.
"Recover normally? Don't you want this child to directly use the power of this gem?" Xiao Xuan turned her head and looked at the two hugging each other.
"If it's about recovering normally, Aili can do it. But now, it's about letting Miss Wendy freely use the Honkai Energy contained within the gem." Xiao Xuan took out a syringe.
She directly pricked Wendy's calf and then drew out a syringe of blood with a slight green tint.
"Has the Honkai Energy already dissolved in the blood?" Xiao Xuan looked at Wendy with a strange gaze.
In this state, what was the difference from a Herrscher?
"Can I freely use the power within the gem?" Wendy asked, somewhat confused.
"That's right, Aili said that since the gem can maintain balance within your body, it must mean you are very suitable for this gem, so it's fine to let you use this power," Xiao Xuan said after preserving the blood.
"But that power, if I use it, negative emotions will constantly affect me."
"Negative emotions? You can go find Aili and Blockhead, oh, that's Fu Hua. You can just go find the two of them. It's just negative emotions, not a big problem." Xiao Xuan took out an exoskeleton and directly wrapped Wendy's calves in it.
"Use this for now. After the research is complete, Aili will restore the function of your legs. I'm going to research your blood first." With that, Xiao Xuan floated to the secret door and went straight to the laboratory.
"Sister Bronya, Theresa Teacher, thank you." Wendy sat on the sofa, tears streaming down her face.
Bronya and Theresa quickly went to comfort her.
"These are tears of joy. I never thought I could stand up again." Wendy wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, then smiled and said.
