# Chapter 13: Theresa's First Love
Dating Theresa meant proper meals, shopping trips, and occasionally finding excuses to put the Captain into sage mode when appropriate.
That night, Theresa put on her white stockings with trembling legs. She hadn't expected the Lunar Battle Armor to give the Captain such strong attack speed and endurance buffs.
Looking at the Captain sleeping soundly hugging a pillow on the bed, she felt somewhat frustrated. She had already given the Captain so many sage mode buffs during the comic convention, how could his ammunition reserves still be so high?
Her body was really reaching its limit. The Captain was too cunning - he wouldn't stop even after she reached her peak.
When she and Himeko subdued the Captain together, she hadn't noticed it, but could it be that she was struggling to keep up when alone?
As expected of the naturally gifted Captain, he had grown remarkably skilled even in these matters.
She wanted to use the bathroom, but her legs were so weak she could barely stand.
But now she was getting desperate. She had already used all her strength to hold it in during the process, and now every step seemed to stimulate her bladder.
"Beep beep beep~~~~"
Just as Theresa tried to stand up, her phone beside her rang. Theresa picked it up and saw it was Amber calling.
Without thinking, it was probably to drag her back to work.
Because it was the first year after the Honkai incident ended, they were currently in a critical period of post-Honkai reconstruction and revival, so workload had increased worldwide.
As the Anti-Honkai Organization (AE), the world's only officially designated organization that could directly confront (and recruit) Herrscher-level threats, their workload was terrifyingly high. As the Principal, she hadn't returned to headquarters for four days since the Captain's memorial day. Amber's processors were probably overloaded again.
"But calling at 2 AM... I'll just ignore it."
Just as Theresa thought this, a hand caressed her white-stockinged thigh, while another hand grabbed her phone.
"Theresa, how can you do that?"
Jun'an, who had recovered on the bed, saw this pose was correct and the scene was right, immediately became energetic again.
"You're the Principal of Schicksal, how can you slack off?"
Theresa never expected that simply not wanting to leave the living room unclothed would result in her stockings-only state arousing the Captain again.
Looking back to confirm it was indeed the Captain pressing against her, she could hardly believe it.
Who's the augmented warrior here?!
"Captain! What are you doing!"
Theresa was already in a wall-supporting position, and now she was pushed directly against the wall. The phone nearly got snatched by the Captain but accidentally hit the answer button instead.
Amber's voice came through from the other end, "Lady Theresa, you finally answered."
"A-Amber!"
She didn't want to increase her workload at this moment, more importantly—she was already at her limit, and it was much harder for women to hold it than men.
Theresa wanted to hang up, but the Captain caught her other hand. Her small fingers couldn't reach the end call button, only touching near the microphone.
"Wait a bit? Wait a bit, I'll meow for you, okay?"
Theresa tried her best to cover the microphone with one hand while quietly appeasing the Captain's mood. As the dignified Principal of Schicksal, how could she leak in front of the Captain and Amber?
"Can you let me use the bathroom first?"
"No,"
Jun'an ignored Theresa, "I can make you meow right now, why wait?"
"Wait—ah~"
However, Amber's voice also came through from the other end.
"It's me, Lady Theresa."
Amber greeted: "Good evening."
Theresa struggled to maintain composure as she said: "Amber, can we talk about this, mm, t-tomorrow? You see, it's so, late~ outside."
To prove her point, Theresa pointed the camera at the window, while avoiding capturing the Captain, after all, once he appeared on screen, nothing could be hidden anymore.
"I apologize, I forgot about the time difference."
Amber was at Schicksal's European headquarters, while Theresa was at the Far East Branch, with a seven to eight hour time difference. It was 2-3 AM here, but only around 10 PM there.
"But please don't hang up, this isn't about work."
Amber seemed afraid Theresa would hang up out of annoyance, and quickly explained, "This time, Lady Cecilia and Sir Siegfried have returned from their travels and would like to speak with you."
"Hey! Theresa, long time no see, did you miss me?" Cecilia's voice suddenly came through.
"Ce-Cecilia!?"
Hearing this voice, Theresa's whole body instantly tensed up, and even the Captain's body involuntarily froze, his expression somewhat pained.
Cecilia, Schicksal's strongest Valkyrie from ten years ago, and also their only S-rank Valkyrie at the time, Theresa's sworn sister, and her one true first love.
For her and her daughter Kiana, Theresa didn't hesitate to turn against Otto despite their years together. Although it only resulted in leaving home and starting anew, it was enough to prove Cecilia's position in Theresa's heart.
"Mm, surprised?"
Due to Theresa's efforts to hide it, Cecilia hadn't noticed the oddness on the other end, and continued: "Originally, Siegfried and I wanted to surprise you when we returned from our trip, but we didn't expect you wouldn't be at Schicksal."
Siegfried looked at the pitch-black window and asked puzzled: "Theresa, why are you pointing your phone at the window? And why is it shaking? Are you dancing?"
"Get lost!"
Theresa bit her lip, her body trembling as she wanted to sit down right then, but someone was holding her waist.
Because in front of her first love, Theresa just wanted to quickly end the call and go to the bathroom.
She tried to remove her wall-supporting hand, wanting to rely on her strong physical abilities to maintain balance, but she had overestimated herself. Her whole body lost balance and fell, her legs completely powerless. If not for the Captain supporting her waist, she would have fallen flat.
But with just that stumble, the phone fell to the side.
Siegfried: "Well, the image isn't shaking anymore, but now it's showing the ceiling."
Cecilia elbowed Siegfried and asked with concern: "Theresa, what's wrong?"
The phone flew to the side, and Theresa wanted to reach out to end the video call, but due to weak legs could only crawl on the ground, supported by the Captain's hand on her waist.
"I'm fine~ mm~ fine..."
Almost there, her fingers were just a bit short of reaching it. Even leaning forward to lie on the ground with her bottom raised to the sky, she was still just that little bit short, just that tiny bit.
"Are you really okay?"
Cecilia was somewhat worried, "Why don't you show your face so I can see?"
"Sorry, I'm not in a state to be seen right now."
Theresa struggled to respond, "Why don't we end here for today? I'm really quite tired..."
Siegfried: "But your voice sounds quite energetic."
Theresa wanted to kill this blockhead, while Cecilia kicked her husband away first, "Go play your games elsewhere, stop interfering here, didn't you hear what Theresa said?"
The henpecked Siegfried could only obediently listen, but Cecilia added, "Don't use the headquarters' computers to play games."
So Siegfried could only walk away dejectedly.
Cecilia's gaze returned to Theresa's side, full of worry, "Theresa, tell me quietly, do you need me to come over? Seele is at Schicksal headquarters, she can come support you anytime."
While Cecilia had some otherworldly qualities about her, she was undoubtedly clever, otherwise she wouldn't have been the first to notice something was wrong when trapped in the environment created by Seele during the Second Honkai Eruption.
But the Captain was still mischievous on the side, "If you don't try harder, you'll be exposed."
Who do you think is causing this! If you know we'll be exposed then stop!
What if Seele comes?!
That's her grand-niece!
Theresa tensed her whole body at the thought of this possibility, afraid that Seele would suddenly appear before them with Cecilia.
"It's, it's fine!"
So, Theresa showed her face, smiling somewhat forcedly, "I just accidentally got bumped earlier, my stomach got hit, it just hurts a bit..."
"I see."
Cecilia breathed a sigh of relief, "I overreacted too. Of course, after all, that's the Far East Branch, how could you possibly be coerced?"
After all, the Far East Branch was practically the Valkyries' stronghold. Not to mention there was a Herrscher who had emerged from there, just Theresa's personal combat strength—she had consumed a small portion of the Final Herrscher's shadow, there were few in the world who could defeat her, and those who could were all her students.
Who could beat her down until she dared not make a sound? If there was one, it would definitely only be some playful sparring between Theresa and one of her rebellious disciples.
After seeing Theresa's body tremble uncomfortably once more, her expression became much more natural, like someone suddenly released after being tickled.
Probably, Theresa was now playing truth or dare, having great fun.
"It's so good to see you still so energetic."
Cecilia said: "I was worried you'd keep feeling sad about the Captain's memorial day, so I planned to come back and comfort you properly."
"Haha, thank you for your concern."
Theresa forced a smile and said: "I'll return to Schicksal headquarters in a few days, if there's nothing else I'll hang up now."
Theresa quickly ended the call, looking at the warm white stockings and the yellow and white mixed liquid on the ground. The white part shouldn't have been so much, but because she leaked, she had some trouble controlling her body.
Theresa glared at the Captain behind her with shame and anger in her eyes, and immediately went to attack him.
"Captain! I'm going all out!"
