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

If Theresa hadn't been so childlike and innocent, she wouldn't have cared about the experimental girls, much less planned to establish an academy specifically for training Valkyries.

"Is she the younger sister who wants to become a magical girl?"

Celine knew that Qiu Bi and Cecilia were discussing something important, so she didn't interrupt. However, after hearing the name "Theresa," she couldn't help but ask.

Qiu Bi paused for a moment, recalling the scene when Xilin had met Theresa earlier.

Theresa probably didn't say she wanted to become a magical girl, right?

Furthermore, why does Sirin call Theresa "sister"?

With these two questions in mind, Qiu Bi couldn't help but ask Xilin.

Celine's response was very simple—

Because Theresa believed in the existence of magical girls and did things that only magical girls would do, and because Theresa's appearance was only 12 years old, she became the "little sister who wanted to become a magical girl" in Sirin's words.

"A magical girl... Oh, right! Little Sirin, Aunt Theresa is your senior, isn't she?"

"Huh? Wait a minute... how did my little sister turn into an auntie?"

Xilin's young face was filled with shock, no less than when the "big brother became a father" had happened before.

Cecilia covered her mouth and chuckled, then replied, "Don't let Theresa's appearance as a 12-year-old fool you; she's actually 26, twice the age of little Sirin!"

"Eh?!"

Cecilia stared blankly at Cecilia, her little brain unable to process what was happening for a moment.

邱毕默默计算了一下，德丽莎是1972年3月28日诞生，而现在是1999年1月31日，确实是26岁的德丽莎“阿姨”。

The next second, Sirin seemed to realize something and asked, "Then, what is Aunt Theresa's magical girl nickname?"

"Hmm... let me think about it."

Cecilia pressed her index finger against her cheek, appearing thoughtful.

A few seconds later, she pondered and said, "I once heard Theresa mention that she became a magical girl not long after her birth, and her nickname seemed to be 'Magical Girl Teriri'?"

"Magical Girl Teriri? Hmph—that's nowhere near as good as Sirin's Magical Girl Sirin-chan!"

Xilin proudly raised her head, her brows furrowed with pride.

Qiu Bi and Cecilia exchanged a smile, said nothing more, and led Xilin into a coffee shop.

Considering that Cecilia does not speak Japanese, Qiu Bi could only grant her relevant abilities.

The contract grants—language expertise!

As for Qiu Bi himself...

Perhaps it was a side benefit of the "contract," or perhaps it was a side benefit of "time travel," but he didn't need to choose any language-related abilities; they were almost innate, allowing him to easily understand and speak various languages.

"No matter how many times I experience it, I'll always find your ability to be quite unique!"

As Qiu Bi granted her new abilities, Cecilia tightened her grip on him, and a faint blush rose on her cheeks.

Chapter 51 "Sister Cecilia already has a child?!"

Compared to Sophia and Alexandra, who have lower tolerance for hardship, Cecilia's endurance is undoubtedly much stronger, and she did not experience any particular impulses despite being given abilities by Qiu Bi.

The family of three entered the coffee shop, casually ordered some drinks and desserts, and then found a quiet corner to sit down.

Xilin sat obediently opposite the two, eating her ice cream quietly without disturbing their time together or interfering with their conversation.

"Qiu Bi, I'm going to make a call to Maria now."

Cecilia reminded Qiu Bi, but did not distance herself, clearly not caring that Maria had noticed their current relationship.

Now that she has decided to abandon her former identity, she will not care about these troublesome matters.

"Go ahead and make the calls; I won't interfere with your conversation with Maria."

Qiu Bi bit his straw, his gaze fixed on the well-behaved Xilin.

Cecilia nodded slightly, then gently touched the purple prism hanging from her earlobe and accurately dialed Maria's contact number.

Maria did not answer the call immediately, but waited for about half a minute before connecting with Cecilia.

Maria was stunned when Cecilia's face appeared on the communication screen.

Then, thinking it was her hallucination, she subconsciously rubbed her eyes, only to be pleasantly surprised to find that it was not a hallucination.

"Sister Cecilia, you...you weren't killed in action?"

"Maria, if I'm already dead, why are you still able to receive my calls?"

Cecilia smiled at Maria, her index finger and thumb pinching the plastic coffee spoon as she gently stirred the coffee in her cup.

At this moment, Qiu Bi saw Maria's face clearly through the communication screen that appeared in front of Cecilia.

Just like the image Qiu Bi was familiar with, Maria Shaniat had brown hair and blue eyes, but she often squinted.

Although Maria is only a teenager, she is already showing great promise in both strength and figure, and has some resemblance to the future S-class Valkyrie "Witch".

“Sister Cecilia, where are you? I’m coming to get you! Since you didn’t die, the ‘Saintess’ position should be…”

“Maria, you are now the new ‘Saintess’ of the Shaniat family, there is no need to return the title of Saintess to me.”

Cecilia interrupted Maria before she could finish speaking.

Upon hearing this, Maria paused for a moment, a hint of doubt appearing between her brows.

"Sister Cecilia, what... what do you mean? I don't think I understand..."

"I'm not going to be a Valkyrie or a Saintess anymore. Perhaps it won't be long before I invite you to my wedding."

Upon hearing this, not only Maria was stunned, but Qiu Bi was also taken aback.

What does it mean?

Could it be that……

Did Cecilia really agree to my request before?

So that wasn't Cecilia's joke after all?

Qiu Bi pondered to himself, while subconsciously glancing at Cecilia beside him.

Sensing Qiu Bi's questioning gaze, Cecilia playfully winked her left eye and pressed her index finger to her lips, signaling Qiu Bi to be quiet.

At the same time, Maria snapped out of her daze and back to reality.

"Sister Cecilia, are you going to marry Siegfried? But the family has already called off this marriage..."

"Not the son of the Kaslana family patriarch, but another person I can entrust my life to."

"Who is he?! Could it be... Sister Cecilia, that he bewitched you, making you give up your position as the Saintess of the Shaniat family and your identity as a Valkyrie?!"

Maria opened her eyes, her expression now somewhat ferocious.

Seeing this, Cecilia scolded, "Maria, don't get angry so easily! I wasn't bewitched, it was my own decision—I want to live with a different identity, maybe I can find meaning in my life."

Listening to their conversation, Qiu Bi calmly took a sip of his drink.

Strictly speaking, Maria's guess was not wrong; Cecilia was indeed affected by the commandments, but Cecilia was completely unaware of it.

"Sister Cecilia, are you really sure about this?"

"Yes, Maria, there are some things I might need your help with."

Cecilia gave a slightly embarrassed smile. One second she was saying she was giving up her past identity and starting a new life, and the next she was asking for the help of the Shaniat family to make her new life easier.

"What is it, Cecilia? I will do my best to complete whatever you ask!"

"No need to be so serious, I just want you to make arrangements for your future residence and future work."

"Residential?"

Maria frowned, then asked in return, "Sister Cecilia, is it a single-person house?"

"No, the bigger the better, and they should be two adjacent buildings."

Cecilia twirled a strand of hair behind her ear with her index finger, looking both embarrassed and awkward, before continuing to explain, "The people living here aren't just me and the members of the Snow Wolf Squad, but also him and some children..."

Upon hearing the first part of the sentence, Maria did not react in any particular way, but simply nodded.

However, when she heard the second half of the sentence, her eyes widened suddenly, and her voice involuntarily rose several pitches.

"Sister Cecilia, not only are you going to live with that man, but you're already pregnant?!"

“Maria, you’ve probably misunderstood… I’m kind of the children’s ‘stepmother’.”

Cecilia offered an explanation with a light laugh, but remained silent on the matter of "cohabitation."

Maria's attention was diverted by Cecilia, and she then complained softly, "Sister Cecilia, aren't you enough with me and Angelia? Why do you have to take care of other children?"

"Hahaha... Maria, are you jealous?"

Cecilia loosened the hairpin wrapped around her temple with her index finger, then rested her chin on her hand and gazed at Maria on the screen, a faint smile playing on her lips.

“I didn’t… Sister Cecilia, where are you? I’ll bring Angelia to you right away.”

“I’m in Changkong City in the Far East. Don’t tell anyone else about me. Right now, I guess only you and Bishop Tianming know my whereabouts.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Cecilia hung up the call.

Since abandoning her former identity, she no longer addresses "Otto Apocalypse" as "Your Excellency," but simply as "Bishop of Destiny."

Knowing some of Otto's abilities, Cecilia knew that Otto must know her whereabouts, but she still judged her as "dead in action".

Cecilia was deeply puzzled by this.

Logically speaking, Otto, being the only and strongest S-class Valkyrie of Schicksal, should have been searched for immediately after going missing, yet he was directly declared "dead in action"...

Filled with deep doubt, Cecilia told Qiu Bi about it.

Qiu Bi's reply was very simple—

"For Destiny or Otto, S-class Valkyries are never irreplaceable. He must be hiding other S-class Valkyries or other powerful trump cards."

Chapter 52 Maria Shaniat

With the Crimson Kite Immortal who has protected China for over five thousand years, Otto couldn't possibly be without a trump card.
