Because of her carelessness, Theresa was accidentally poisoned by Yuno and instantly fell into a disadvantage, unable to move. The originally one-sided situation was reversed. It could be said to be a real rollover scene.
The video ends here.
Theresa's expression stiffened, and her face flushed.
"Damn it! I didn't expect to roll over because of something like this?!"
"Yuno, huh? You'd better watch out, the dean is on you!"
Feeling embarrassed in front of Kiana because of the video, Theresa secretly targeted Yuno.
However…
Since Kiana and the others had stopped Cocolia's plan, the third eruption in Nagazora City probably wouldn't happen. Yuno wouldn't become a pseudo-Herrscher because of it.
Theresa probably wouldn't have the chance to get back at her now.
Theresa naturally realized this and instantly displayed an unwilling expression.
Unlike Theresa who was focused on her own failure, Mei and Bronya were thinking about the information revealed in the video.
Based on what was shown in the video, Theresa was poisoned and then overturned.
So, what happened next? What would occur?
Theresa naturally understood what they were thinking and said unhappily, "Although it seems like I fell into the hands of that bastard, it's not that serious."
Even though she couldn't move because of the poison, she still had the Divine Key, Oath of Judah, next to her. Judah which had a high degree of autonomy would automatically protect its master when in danger.
So, although she couldn't see what happened afterward, Theresa wasn't worried about being killed.
As for the poison…
With her own physique, she should be able to hold on until she got back, right?
Well, probably no problem.
Theresa was a little unsure but, after thinking carefully, she concluded that since she survived the dangerous Second Eruption, How could she be killed by a mere pseudo-Herrscher?
As the image disappeared, the next question popped up:
[3. After the second eruption and in order to achieve his goal, The Archbishop of Schicksal Otto secretly planned Project Sirin. Please select the only successful individual number from the following options.]
[A. K421]
[B. K423]
[C. K426]
[D. K10086]
"... Project Sirin?"
This question was a mystery to Kiana, Mei, and Bronya.
But Theresa was different.
"Grandpa..."
Seeing Otto's name appear and the mention of the former enemy of mankind, Theresa's expression grew complicated.
"Aunt, do you know the answer to this question?"
Facing Kiana's curiosity, Theresa shook her head slightly.
Although there was a familiar name in the question, Theresa didn't know anything about the so-called Project Sirin and had never even heard of it.
However, one thing she was sure of was that if it was related to the former enemy of mankind, and the plan was created by Grandpa, it was definitely not a good thing.
And…
The naming format with numbers reminded Theresa of bad memories from the past.
Meanwhile, considering that this question was somewhat difficult, Mei decided to put on her glasses.
"Miss Theresa…"
After considering for a while, Mei addressed her, though it might not have been the most appropriate name.
With glasses, Mei's intelligence would increase significantly, but that only applied to pure intelligence. Without information, it would be impossible for her to guess the correct answer.
So, she focused her attention on Theresa, who obviously knew a lot.
"Can you please explain what you know?"
Theresa didn't hide anything and spoke slowly. After a while, Kiana and the others had a rough understanding of Otto and Sirin, as mentioned in the question.
With this information, Mei began to use her brain.
The "K" must be the code name for the plan, and the numbers likely refer to specific individuals, right?
421, 423, 426…
If the first numbers are correct, it means this Project Sirin had many experimental templates. Then, connecting it with the Void mentioned by Theresa, it likely referred to the experimental template for the Herrscher of the Void.
But the Herrscher of the Void should be dead, so the experimental template probably referred to…
"Clones?"
Mei was thoughtful, having made a rough guess about the Project Sirin.
But…
Even though she had an idea of what the Project Sirin was about, Mei still didn't have much clue about the answer to the multiple-choice question before her.
The only thing she was sure of was:
"D is wrong."
Among the four answers, the last one was the most outrageous. Based on previous experience with these questions, when the space presented options, it always added some nonsensical and loophole-ridden choices to the serious ones. So, this time, option D was probably a trap.
"So, there are only three answers left?"
Theresa crossed her arms, glanced at the remaining three answers, and sighed. "These three answers are too similar. Which one should I choose?"
Even though Mei had eliminated one option, with three left, the range was still too large.
"Bronya thinks we can let Idiot Kiana try."
At this point, Bronya spoke up.
In Kiana's somewhat surprised expression, she said expressionlessly:
"Idiot Kiana's intuition works well."
"It was Idiot Kiana's intuition that worked last time. Since there's no answer, why not leave it to her intuition?"
"... Although I'm touched that you, Dwarf Pudding, believe in my intuition."
Kiana was torn, feeling a little irritated. "But I'm not a tool!"
"Intuition… that kind of thing…"
When it came to such unscientific things, Mei raised her eyebrows, hesitating to say something, but in the end, she didn't.
Although she didn't think intuition was very reliable, since it was Kiana, she let it go.
With no objections from the others, Kiana, the intuitive player, officially stepped up.
She scanned the answers: a, b, c. Finally, with a pounding heart, she paused on option b and took a deep breath.
"I choose C!"
[C. k426]
[Wrong]
[Correct answer: B. k423]
"... I'm wrong, but there's nothing I can do about it."
Theresa sighed, tiptoeing to pat Kiana on the shoulder.
"I'm sorry."
Taking off her glasses, Mei comforted Kiana. "Directness is sometimes effective and sometimes not. Kiana, you don't need to blame yourself. It's just a question."
Meanwhile, Bronya had a blank expression. In her gray eyes, there was confusion.
Just now, Kiana's eyes were clearly on option B, but she chose C without hesitation.
Could this be intuition?
Bronya didn't think so.
