Miss Riddler just wants to level up in peace.

The answer is simple, but the goose is destined not to realize it until its identity is revealed.

She has a younger sister who lives nearby.

Considering the relationship between Ziyao and her, it's natural that they could claim kinship.

"...I have no family."

At least that's the case for now.

Durandal, mimicking Rita's line of thought, began to ponder the answer to the question.

The bishop mentioned that her family members were still alive and that she would meet them sooner or later.

Could it be her?

First of all, she is blonde, while the girl is white-haired, and their facial features are different, so we can rule out any familial relationship between them.

"Sister-in-law?"

"No, I'm neither your older sister nor your younger sister, and we're actually very close."

Ziyao took another step closer, now only half a step away from Youlandail.

She is very weak right now, but the other party can't tell at all.

Rita stood guard beside her, watching her closely as if she were a thief.

"Not blood relatives, but very close..."

Then, she came to an answer that shocked everyone.

"Lover?"

While marveling at her incredible thought process, Ziyao had no idea that...

This answer became a seed planted in the soil, which will soon grow into a towering tree and uproot her...

Volume 1: Chapter 162 Deception (Part 2)

"Could they be lovers?"

"If you answer correctly, as a prize, how about you give me a hug?"

Xie Ziyao teased, as they were very close to each other.

The girl seemed completely oblivious to the fact that Rita and Durandal were both carrying weapons, or rather, she didn't care at all.

And so, without any warning, I stood before them.

The tense atmosphere gradually dissipated with his words.

"........"

Rita remained silent.

Can't see through.

Who is she?

This person was never mentioned in the intelligence reports, and....

A month ago, when the bishop used the Jizo Mitama to awaken Sirin, Rita saw Ziyao in the Divine Key space.

She thought it was a phantom created by Jizo Mitama, or some kind of [beacon].

Even the bishop doubted whether the girl truly existed, since there was not a single clue.

Unexpectedly, she actually appeared alive.

"I'll ask Bishop Otto when I get back. Could I leave you my contact information?"

As they chatted, it seemed to turn into a conversation between friends.

They were completely unaware that they were each other's opposing enemies.

"my pleasure."

After memorizing the contact number, Durandal straightened the Black Abyss White Flower, indicating that she still wanted to fight.

The flaming sword strike just now was truly astonishing, unlike any power a human could wield.

Moreover, combat reveals many aspects of a person: their on-the-spot reactions, insight, judgment and intuition, experience and attitude...

Perhaps she can remember something by relying on these things.

After all, she had indeed forgotten her childhood memories.

"Lady Durandal, it's best if you don't take it too seriously..."

Rita shook her head, looking rather helpless.

Having said that, he raised his scythe and blocked Durandal's path.

learn from mistakes.

Zi must have other trump cards up her sleeve. The situation has changed from two against one to two against two, which is disadvantageous for them.

If we look at the worst-case scenario, it's quite possible that both girls are Herrschers.

With an anti-Herrscher weapon and Durandal's help, they are not incapable of fighting.

But perhaps they cannot afford the price.

For now, knowing that Kiana's Honkai erosion level is very low is enough; that's all we need to say to get this over with.

As the conversation veered in increasingly bizarre directions, Rita had no choice but to retreat.

"Hey, are you leaving already?"

Yulandel actually hugged Ziyao; she was very soft and fragrant.

"Yes, we failed."

Rita put away her sickle and bowed slightly to Ziyao.

"Excuse me, Miss Zi, please give my regards to World Serpent."

"Let's leave the outcome of this match for next time."

Both sides are good people, but they are hostile to each other because of their different positions.

Rita understood this, which is why she remained polite.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Watching the two leave, Ziyao finally felt relieved.

After using up her initial doll, she was in a very weak state, and even if she summoned Stargazer, she might not be a match for Rita.

"It's so cold. I want to eat Mei's cooking. Let's go back."

Kiana regained her usual cheerfulness, took Ziyao's hand, and acted as if nothing had happened.

"This is......"

A glint of light flashed across the girl's chest, catching Kiana's eye.

"Thank you for the gift, I like it very much."

Returning the box carved with lilies to Kiana, Ziyao tugged at the pendant on her chest, which she had put on without her noticing.

The bright and clear crystal suits her perfectly; if a laurel wreath were added, she might really resemble the Snow Princess described in the storybook.

"I'm glad you like it. I made many more, not just for you."

Kiana lied, her pretty face flushing.

It would be a lie to say I don't care.

When you give someone a gift, you'll definitely care a lot about their reaction.

Seeing that Ziyao liked it, she felt that all her efforts were worthwhile.

fair enough.

They resumed their usual relationship and got along happily together...

"Kiana, am I pretty?"

The doll's appearance has not been completely revealed yet.

Ziyao is now much taller than before, about the same height as Kiana, and her bust size has also increased.

"So pretty, just like Mei..."

His clear eyes looked at her intently, and Kiana was momentarily at a loss, unable to meet his gaze.

The next second, a pair of warm hands took hers.

"So, what do you think of me?"

This is the question Kiana asked yesterday, which Ziyao has reversed.

There are some things I won't be able to say when I get back.

Let's take this opportunity to solve the problem completely.

Volume 1: Chapter 163 Can we start over as friends?

Even the hardest ice can be melted by fireworks.

As the snow melts, a stream of clear water flows gently down the slope.

What do you think of me?

Ziyao tossed her long white hair aside, took the girl's hand, and said earnestly.

"What else can we say? Aren't we best friends?"

The girl continued to say things against her will, her hands behind her back, lightly kicking the snow on the ground, pretending to be nonchalant and carefree.

[I'm about to get angry, Kiana.]

Why are you unwilling to follow your own heart?

Xilin saw everything and was disappointed in her son's lack of progress.

They are clearly from the same origin, yet they are so different.
