Hearing Xiyue’s line, Theresa’s fair little face flushed in an instant.
Her little mouth fell wide open, her blue eyes reddening too.
Standing up on her boss chair, she glared at the screen and huffed.
“What do you mean, grade-schooler’s body?!”
“This streamer Yuexi is so infuriating!”
“Is it my fault for being born cute?”
She felt thoroughly offended; right then she really wanted to smack the Oath of Judah across Yuexi’s face.
And at this moment, the Queen within Kiana’s consciousness completely blew up.
She’d already been livid that her plan had been broadcast—and now, on top of that, to hear this person mock her flawless scheme… what would a mere mortal possibly understand?!
“Just wait, ant.”
“The moment I manifest in the real world will be the hour of your death!”
The Queen ground out the words, glaring at the stream.
When the Queen got angry, the consequences were dire—but the first to suffer was Kiana.
Kiana felt a stab of pain shoot through her head and hurriedly clutched it; through the headache, her body slumped toward Mei.
With a little cry, she toppled into Mei’s arms.
Watching the two of them post question marks, Xiyue knew exactly what expressions Theresa and the Queen must be wearing right now.
But she didn’t reply—she just went on.
“See?
The bug won’t believe it.”
In the story, Kiana rounded furiously on Sirin.
“You bastard—how dare you turn into the people closest to me and spout nonsense.”
“I’ll never believe you!”
No Exams Thanks: That’s right!
Kiana’s sooo smart—how could she ever be fooled?
You’re really underestimating Kiana!
And everyone, through their screens, could feel just how proud Kiana was right now.
Seeing that Kiana hadn’t believed her, Sirin pressed on with the temptation—though this time it was half true, half false, the frivolous, leading voice continuing.
“Everything I’m telling you is the truth~”
“Don’t go thinking you can live happily with these people forever.
You’ll never fit in among them—but with me, every wish of yours can be fulfilled!”
“You’ll win everyone’s recognition, become an S-rank Valkyrie—no, you’ll have power countless times greater than any S-rank Valkyrie.”
Kitty Snuggles: The more I listen to this voice, the scarier it gets.
Is what she’s saying true?
World’s Cutest: Utter nonsense!
By now Theresa had calmed down.
Watching the voice in Kiana’s head, her eyes filled with panic and helplessness.
She, who knew everything about back then, of course knew whose voice was in Kiana’s head.
In all the time since Kiana had come to St.
Freya, she’d thought about telling Kiana the truth.
But every time she steeled her resolve, Kiana’s face and voice would surface in her mind—her clumsy, fumbling self, chasing after her and calling her Auntie.
Seeing the warm everyday moments between Kiana and Mei and the others—how could she ever bring herself to tell her the truth?
No.
Absolutely not.
She had already lost one niece.
She decided that after this stream, she’d have a proper talk with Kiana.
Even if she still didn’t know whether this game’s plot corresponded to reality, the consciousness in Kiana’s head had always been a problem.
True, Siegfried had told her Kiana could suppress the Herrscher’s consciousness—but from the look of this, whether or not the stream was real, she needed to prepare properly.
For the sake of the school, and for Kiana’s sake too.
With that, Theresa sat back down, her gaze on the stream, glimmering with light.
Watching Pardo’s comment, Xiyue didn’t quite know how to answer—because she, who knew the plot to come, knew this line of Sirin’s was in fact correct, if half true and half false.
“As a streamer, I really can’t spoil things.”
“But these words can only fool the bug, at most.”
The instant Xiyue finished, Kiana was thoroughly displeased.
“What’s that supposed to mean?
Kiana definitely won’t believe it either.
You’re really underestimating the bug!”
Seeing Kiana’s comment, Xiyue thought of the famous scene where the Queen descends, the corner of her mouth curving up.
She didn’t answer, and pressed on with the story.
What followed was simple: the bug woke up and forgot everything in the dream, head all woozy as if she’d eaten a pufferfish, and said to Mei.
“Mei, I had a dream last night.
I don’t remember much of it clearly—only that you were going to abandon me.”
Hearing Kiana, Mei came to her side, ruffled her hair, and said gently.
“There now, Kiana.
It was just a dream—I’ll never abandon you.”
“I’ll always stay by your side, and always make you delicious food.”
At Mei’s words, Kiana’s negative feelings vanished in an instant, and she was bursting with energy again.
Listening to Mei and the bug talk, Xiyue really wanted to quip right then.
Don’t go raising flags so casually!
You two are going to beat the daylights out of each other once, down the line.
Of course, she only said all this in her head and kept it to herself.
All you could say was that miHoYo hid its foreshadowing beautifully—the groundwork laid right here, all in preparation for the “healing” plot to come.
And the viewers, this lot, were absolutely losing it—especially Elysia.
She loved girls cuddling most of all, and loved watching girls cuddle.
Miss Pink Elf♪: Wow, wow, so sweet, so sweet—watching this, my heart’s going thump-thump-thump.
A beautiful maiden like me wants to find someone to cuddle like that too~
And Elysia was the type to do exactly as she said—she rose at once and headed for Mobius’s Laboratory again.
Thinking of Kiana and Mei’s exchange just now, her heart was on fire, and she badly wanted to find someone to take it out on.
But when she got to the front of Mobius’s Laboratory, she found a big note stuck on the lab door that read: “Elysia and Dogs—Keep Out!”
One look and it was obviously Mobius’s doing—but unfortunately for her, this was Elysia.
She reached out, tore the note off, and then sauntered grandly into Mobius’s Laboratory, her gaze landing on Mobius, who was resting.
Her eyes lit up; she ran over, threw out both arms, and scooped up the sleeping Mobius in one go.
“Dr.
Mobius, give me a hug~”
Kitty Snuggles: Mmmnf, it’s so sweet my whole mouth’s gone sweet—why are Kiana and Mei this sweet?!
Wants to Buy an Island: o((⊙﹏⊙))o
Chlorinated Kiana: Boring.
Grating.
Disgusting.
No Exams Thanks: Hey, upstairs—saying something like that, this young lady knows exactly what’s up.
Jealous that Kiana has Mei.
Nyah nyah nyah, you definitely don’t have anyone~
Chlorinated Kiana: 6
Then Kiana’s head throbbed again, the pain so bad she clung to Mei, yowling.
Watching Kiana and the Queen’s exchange, Xiyue nearly burst out laughing.
Why were these two so hilarious together?
As expected, Tuna and the Queen were natural-born enemies.
She reined in her laughter and went on with the story.
What followed was simple: the Valkyrie Examination.
Tuna fought Mei, fought Bronya, then fought the class monitor, and finally fought the ice pig Sirin had sent.
The newest revised version of the plot has Rita in it, but here it didn’t.
Still, with Xiyue’s superb skills, even using the White Comet she went on a slaughtering spree and cleared it easily.
And as she cleared it, there was the main trio’s warmth woven in—you could feel from this just how happy Tuna was right now.
Afterward Sirin popped out again, recounting the events of fourteen years ago to Kiana, and letting Kiana know that she was the Second Herrscher.
“I had the honor of experiencing an S-rank Valkyrie’s strength fourteen years ago~”
Kitty Snuggles: I keep getting the feeling this mysterious voice talks just like Miss Pink Elf.
Kitty’s comment won the others’ agreement, but right now Elysia had no time to reply to the chat—because she was currently facing down a glowering, gorgeous serpent.
Sirin’s way of speaking just then really was rather coquettish—seemingly provocative, but more teasing than anything.
Still, Sirin could only act this way in front of Kiana.
Xiyue, who knew the plot, nearly spat out her water hearing this line of Sirin’s.
“‘Had the honor of experiencing’ means ‘got beaten up,’ right?”
Sirin really did have it rough, though.
A Six-Core God of War, absurdly powerful—but unfortunately she ran into the strongest Valkyrie in Schicksal’s history, Cecilia, and into the Edge of Taixuan of that Fusion Warrior, Fu Hua.
Beaten senseless on the spot.
She could only fool an oblivious Kiana.
Anyone in the know would’ve laughed their teeth out—Xiyue, for one.
Sirin’s words went on.
“My, even your slow reactions are so cute—I really can’t help wanting to gobble you up in one bite~”
“I’ve no intention of leaving this place, hehe~”
“Because this is both your dream and mine.
I am you, and you are me.
The one who should leave—that’s you, Kiana!”
The moment Sirin finished, Theresa’s comment fired off at once.
World’s Cutest: Spreading lies to lead her astray—Kiana won’t believe her!
Right now Theresa was truly afraid Kiana might guess something from these words—but she’d overestimated Tuna’s intelligence.
Tuna immediately typed below.
“Hmph hmph—what’s all this ‘you are me, I am you’?
Kiana is Kiana.
The one and only Kiana.
Mei’s Kiana.”
“Keep dreaming if you think you can fool this young lady!”
