Try to save the world, Transmigrator!

"Butterfly..."

Seele looked at Xin Yu beside her with some confusion, not immediately understanding why he was calling her that.

However, when the young girl noticed the butterfly-shaped ornaments on her person, she somewhat understood. Indeed, when she released her powers, butterflies did accompany them.

It was precisely because Seele was a natural Stigmata wielder that Cocolia had taken her to participate in experiments.

Speaking of which, the destruction of Nagazora, the birth of the Third Herrscher, even the reason Raiden Mei was ostracized and bullied, and why her father was imprisoned—it was all because of this woman named Cocolia, wasn't it?

Xin Yu searched his memories for the few times he had met Raiden Ryoma. It was after dinner one day, for some unknown reason, he had a sudden whim to go for a walk outside. Then, he inexplicably encountered an unannounced transmigration event and met the young Raiden Ryoma, whose wife had just passed away.

That fellow who was sullenly drinking, constantly reminiscing about his wife—Xin Yu didn't think he seemed like a bad person, not as bad as the news reports made him out to be. Perhaps Cocolia was the one slandering Raiden Ryoma.

In other words... his own home being blown up, everyone in the entire city dying, Raiden Mei losing her original life and even being burdened with the sin of killing an entire city's population, and he himself losing a life because of it.

All these things were Cocolia's fault.

Xin Yu felt that before he left this time point, he should go find that lady named Cocolia and have a good chat, to see what kind of person she truly was. If she really was an evil person with no remorse for the wrongs she had committed, then he might as well kill her offhandedly.

After briefly sensing the connection between a certain item and himself, Xin Yu once again used spatial translocation, taking Seele with him.

Far East, outside St. Freya Academy...

Sitting in the security office, holding a cup of hot tea, was a middle-aged woman who looked to be in her fifties or sixties. Wrinkles were already visible at the corners of her eyes, but her current appearance still hinted that she must have been quite a beauty in her youth. She was watching television with a relaxed expression.

The staff responsible for gate duty at an ordinary school would be on guard against unsavory individuals sneaking into the school or students skipping classes.

But this was St. Freya Academy, a school specifically dedicated to training Valkyries to fight against the Honkai.

Anyone daring to sneak into this school was either extremely powerful or absurdly foolish.

The security guard couldn't do anything about the former, so there was no need to bother. As for the latter, the security guard also didn't need to bother, because they would soon be trussed up and thrown out.

As for students skipping class, that was even less the security guard's concern. These students never bothered to use the main gate properly; they would just climb over the wall and leave. It was impossible to manage even if one wanted to.

So, being a security guard at this school was a retirement position, the kind where you didn't have to manage anything at all.

Just as this security guard, Lao Er, was enjoying her usual leisurely, retirement-like life, the glass of the security office was suddenly knocked upon.

The middle-aged woman put down her teacup, shifted her attention from the television, and looked at the person knocking on the glass. It was a young man with an exceedingly ordinary appearance, accompanied by a soft-looking, timid young girl who seemed afraid of strangers.

"Hello, could you please inform Headmaster Theresa? Just say a young man named Xin Yu has come to visit her."

Hearing the young man's words, the middle-aged woman hesitated for a moment, then picked up the internal communication device in the security office and dialed the Headmaster's office number.

The other party had stated the Headmaster's name and also relayed his own name; it seemed he was someone the Headmaster knew.

"Hello." Theresa's deliberately serious voice came from the other end of the line.

"Headmaster, a young man has come here looking for you. He says his name is Xin Yu."

"Xin Yu... Xin Yu!" Theresa's voice, followed by the sound of her forcefully slamming a table, came through the receiver.

"You bring him... No, I'll go see him myself."

After speaking, Theresa hurriedly hung up the phone. The middle-aged woman in the security office looked at the disconnected phone, then at the young man standing outside with a gentle smile on his face.

"Just what is this guy's background? To actually make the Headmaster come out to meet him? He doesn't look special at all. No signs of physical training, nor does he give me any sense of danger. He looks completely like an ordinary person."

Though she thought this, the middle-aged woman invited Xin Yu and the young girl into the security office, poured them each a cup of hot tea, and informed them that the Headmaster was on her way.

"This is too much trouble. I could have gone over myself, actually." Xin Yu took a sip of the hot tea. The tea's flavor was particularly weak; it was unclear whether it was an issue with the tea leaves or the brewing.

"If it's convenient to say, what's your relationship with the Headmaster? This is the first time I've ever seen the Headmaster personally come out to greet someone."

As people age, it's inevitable that they can't suppress their gossipy curiosity, especially for older women.

"I've helped your Headmaster in the past. You could say we have some degree of friendship."

"Helped? The Headmaster spends most of her time at the academy. The few times she goes out, it's either for business trips to headquarters or for urgent missions... How exactly did this young man help the Headmaster?"

Although she was curious, she wasn't familiar with him, and pressing further would inevitably leave a bad impression. So, she didn't continue to ask, instead waiting for the Headmaster to arrive.

Although Theresa's legs looked short and she didn't seem like she could run fast, she was an S-rank Valkyrie nonetheless. Rushing at full speed, it only took her a minute or two to reach the school gate.

"Last time, you left after saying just one sentence. You can't leave so quickly this time."

The reason Theresa had rushed over so quickly was because of her nieces.

Because she knew Xin Yu seemingly didn't want to see them, those three children had now reverted to the taciturn state they were in when they first enrolled.

Kiana had already recalled meeting Xin Yu once when she was very young, and some inexplicable speculations had already formed in her heart. But it was precisely these inexplicable speculations that made her heart even more unable to find peace.

Raiden Mei believed it was because of her, that she was already disliked by Xin Yu.

Bronya believed that as the daughter of a perpetrator, she didn't deserve such a wonderful life, and perhaps because of this, she was also disliked by her savior, so she too had withdrawn into herself.

This time, Theresa was determined to bring this young man to meet the Kiana trio, even if she had to drag him there.

Xin Yu looked at Theresa's agitated state. Although he didn't quite understand why she was in such a hurry, he quickly picked up the nearby teapot, poured her a cup of hot water, and said with a smile, "Headmaster Theresa, there's no need to be so anxious. I'm not the type to leave without even saying goodbye."

"But you're the type to say goodbye and then disappear in the very next second."

"Er..."

Xin Yu was somewhat at a loss for words to refute this point, as he didn't exactly leave by walking.
