The location of the Emperor-class Honkai Beast is in a small town in Europe. Because of the remote terrain, the communication here is not as developed as the outside world.
Inaba Tsukiyo took Kiana and Yae Sakura in the transportation prepared for them by Anti-Entropy and headed towards the target location.
"Seriously, why do we have to do this kind of thing? Doesn't Anti-Entropy have a machine that allows people to be quantized? Can't we use that machine to quantize us and directly teleport us to the target location?"
Kiana leaned on Inaba Tsukiyo, somewhat dissatisfied.
Anti-Entropy's quantum technology has been understood some time ago. They can obviously use this technology for long-distance teleportation, so why not let them use it?
"Don't rely on external forces, Kiana. Moreover, Anti-Entropy's quantum teleportation function is not yet complete. It's safer to fly over. And we don't know if quantum teleportation will attract the attention of Schicksal."
Their current situation is very awkward. If they are discovered by those guys from Schicksal, they don't know how many people they will send to deal with them.
In fact, Inaba Tsukiyo also thought about using her spatial teleportation ability to go to Europe, but this ability requires a lot of physical strength, so it's better not to spend her physical strength in this kind of place.
During the flight, Inaba Tsukiyo took out the machine that Tesla had prepared for her in advance and went online to check the number of views of the videos she had posted before.
As before, the videos were indeed well received, especially Kallen's personal concert video, which received several times more rewards than other videos.
"Hmm? This ID is... 'Kallen is the best in the world'? Okay, I think I know who he is."
Wiping the cold sweat from her forehead, Inaba Tsukiyo knew who the user at the top of the reward list was at a glance.
Inaba Tsukiyo's actions caught Kiana's attention. Kiana turned and leaned on Inaba Tsukiyo's shoulder, her eyes lighting up as she watched the image on the screen.
"I completely forgot that you made this, Mom! Mom, I want to play with them too! Can I join them?"
"No, your current identity is too special. Have you forgotten about the one at St. Freya Academy? What if she sees the video?"
Inaba Tsukiyo hadn't forgotten about Kiana, who was still at St. Freya Academy. If Kiana discovered the Kiana in the video, it would definitely cause a lot of trouble.
"...I don't care about her. She's just an imposter anyway."
Kiana fell silent for a moment, pouted her lips, and after an unhappy remark, she sat down and said nothing more.
Inaba Tsukiyo and Kiana's actions caught Yae Sakura's attention. When she saw Kallen's figure in the video, her eyes lit up.
"No."
Just as Yae Sakura was about to say something, Inaba Tsukiyo rejected her suggestion.
"Why? I haven't even said it yet, so why won't you allow it?"
"Even if you don't say it, I know you want to perform with Kallen. But I can't agree to that, Sakura."
"Why?"
"If I really release a video of you and Kallen together, a certain person would be too pitiful. And this person's donations are always the most, so we should make good use of the current situation."
She pointed to the person at the top of the donation list, who was undoubtedly Otto.
If a video of Kallen and Yae Sakura were really released, Otto would surely go crazy, absolutely crazy.
While Inaba Tsukiyo and her companions were on their way to Europe, Tesla and Einstein at Anti-Entropy headquarters were conducting an experiment together.
Thanks to Tesla's efforts, many things were proceeding smoothly. Although Einstein noticed Tesla's abnormality, she didn't say anything.
It was only during a conversation that Tesla mentioned Inaba Tsukiyo knew about the moonlight throne.
"How can that be? Didn't only Anti-Entropy's executives know about this? Why would she know about it?"
"Cocolia told her. She probably accidentally let it slip when she ran to Tsukiyo's room last time. I don't know if she plans to use the moonlight throne as an excuse to get Tsukiyo to join her."
The activation of the moonlight throne was an important means for humanity to fight against Schicksal, but to activate the moonlight throne, a complete herrscher core was needed.
However, after the defeat of Sirin, Otto concealed the fact that Sirin's herrscher core had split into four pieces, giving the 'Gem of Conquest' to Anti-Entropy.
But the moonlight throne required a complete herrscher core to operate at full power, which meant that even though the moonlight throne was built around 2000, it wasn't fully operational by 2016.
"If it's her, she might really use the moonlight throne as a Herrscher. To drive this super battleship, a herrscher core is needed. Although I don't know if Miss Inaba is a Herrscher, if she really has something similar to a herrscher core inside her, Cocolia will definitely try everything to extract the core from her."
"But the price of extracting a herrscher core is death, and what's more, Tsukiyo also has the personality of the Second Herrscher, Sirin, inside her. Chicken Coop Head, you should know the relationship between Cocolia and the Second Herrscher, right?"
"How could I not know? That woman caused a lot of trouble because of that matter back then."
The research continued. As Einstein was adjusting data, she secretly glanced at Tesla beside her.
At this moment, Tesla was wearing a mechanical arm and constantly assembling some components on the machine.
Just then, Einstein keenly noticed the machine emitting a current, which directly hit Tesla, who was closest.
This startled Einstein. Just as Einstein thought something had gone wrong with the experiment, Tesla acted as if nothing had happened, patted her clothes, and continued assembling the machine.
This stunned Einstein. The current just now didn't hit Tesla's mechanical arm; it hit Tesla's body.
As a result, the current didn't harm Tesla at all, not even scorching her clothes, as if the current had merged into Tesla's body.
'Wait a minute... current merging into the body? No way, could it be that Dr. Tesla's research on electromagnetism has advanced further?'
Einstein knew that Tesla had always been researching electromagnetism. Did this phenomenon of absorbing current mean that Tesla had developed better electromagnetic technology?
But this shouldn't be the case. According to Tesla's personality, if she really had new research results, she would definitely come to show off her experimental results to her.
However, this time there was no movement at all, which was too suspicious. It felt like she was deliberately hiding something.
Einstein was too familiar with Tesla's personality; otherwise, she wouldn't always win their squabbles. But this feeling of being deliberately kept in the dark made Einstein a little unhappy.
Thinking carefully, Tesla had changed a bit since the last time she snuck into St. Freya Academy, and Einstein left her alone, and she accidentally became friends with Inaba Tsukiyo.
Moreover, last time when Cocolia went to see Inaba Tsukiyo, Tesla went to check on the situation, and after that, the power supply at Anti-Entropy headquarters began to experience short-term malfunctions.
Could it be... that this was related to Inaba Tsukiyo and Tesla?
Einstein made a connection, thinking that perhaps Inaba Tsukiyo had done something to cause Tesla to change.
"Hey... Dr. Tesla. Has something happened between you and Miss Inaba?"
"!!! What are you talking about, Chicken Coop Head? Wasn't it you who assigned me the task of monitoring Tsukiyo?"
Tesla's pupils clearly widened, but to avoid revealing anything unusual, Tesla spoke in as calm a tone as possible.
As Tesla said, Einstein had assigned her to be the communication channel with Inaba Tsukiyo, as Tesla and Inaba Tsukiyo had the best relationship.
Tesla also accepted Einstein's instructions, so even if Tesla met Inaba Tsukiyo every day, it wasn't a big problem.
"Hmm, you're right. It was indeed me who asked you to do it, but I'm curious, how far have you and Miss Inaba progressed?"
Einstein suddenly smiled, saying something that left Tesla speechless.
"You... what exactly are you talking about, Chicken Coop Head!"
"Saying what? Nothing, really. I'm just a little curious how Dr. Tesla, who is only interested in experiments, has developed such a great interest in a Little Girl. I wonder if you have any ideas about her."
With that, Einstein pulled up a screen and placed it in front of Tesla. It was a surveillance feed from outside Inaba Tsukiyo's room.
The internal room monitors had been removed at Inaba Tsukiyo's request; not only her room, but also Kiana's and Yae Sakura's room monitors had been removed.
The screen showed footage of Tesla entering Inaba Tsukiyo's room.
Of course, simply entering the room was not unusual. The key was the number of times Tesla went to Inaba Tsukiyo's room every day.
In the first few days, it was fine, at most once or twice a day, with nothing out of the ordinary.
But in the recent days, the number of times Tesla went to Inaba Tsukiyo's room was a bit off. One night, the monitor outside Inaba Tsukiyo's room even experienced a brief malfunction.
Then the screen switched to other monitors, and Tesla's figure could be seen in all of them.
However, at this time, Tesla was carrying a pillow, like a thief, very cautiously avoiding the camera's view, but she was still eventually caught by the monitor.
"You! You set me up, Chicken Coop Head!"
"I didn't set you up, Dr. Tesla. You know these are monitors installed in the base, monitors that were already installed. I just found the content I needed on them."
So, can you tell me, Dr. Tesla? Why are you so frequently going to Miss Inaba's room?
It seems your surveillance has extended to someone else's bed.
