Miss Riddler just wants to level up in peace.

Even so, Kiana still felt very satisfied and hoped that this journey could be longer.

Time likes to work against people.

Painful days drag on endlessly, while beautiful moments are fleeting and ephemeral.

Friends reunited, and the threat of fate was temporarily averted.

After relaxing, I can't help but think about each other.

If only there were no Honkai, our peaceful and happy days could have lasted forever.

"Ah, it's that rich and naive older sister!"

The vodka girl, who was dozing on the ground, noticed the two of them and jumped up like a spring returning to its original position.

"Aren't you with Bronya?"

"She was called away by the doctor to do an experiment, so we have to wait here. It's so boring."

"Hmm, Lilia is so sleepy..."

"Why don't you go keep Mei company?"

Seeing that Bronya wasn't there, Kiana made a suggestion.

"Let's try one more time, then let's go back to the lounge."

While the buff from the Rewind Potion, which greatly increased mental strength, was still active, Ziyao wanted to try it again.

I'm a level 4 puppeteer, and I have enough materials. Making a Herrscher puppet shouldn't be a problem.

If you're doing it yourself, you can easily make it.

However, Kiana's situation is different; compatibility and other factors also need to be considered...

"Click—"

Close the door to the lounge.

Ziyao took out the Plague Gem, hoping to give Kiana some blood to suppress the Honkai erosion.

But she remembered that Tesla had told them not to act rashly that morning, so she had no choice but to give up.

"Rusting..."

Before it even started, Kiana obediently sat on the bed, gently wiggling her little feet and humming a song, seemingly in a good mood.

After all, the two of them had been able to spend the entire morning alone.

Just thinking about it makes me happy, like a fool, and my legs start moving involuntarily.

Thinking back carefully, when she first met Ziyao three months ago, she treated her as an enemy.

Kiana, is something on your mind?

Before we started, Ziyao did some mental preparation.

"Ziyao, you already know what's on my mind."

Want to stick.

I want to take the relationship to the next level, instead of staying at the starting point of being just "friends".

Mei is far ahead; she has to catch up.

"I like you too, Kiana."

Ziyao confessed sincerely, her words reflecting her true feelings.

She misunderstood Kiana's burning gaze and began to wonder if it was Mei's fault.

After all, emotions are hard to define, and most people can't accept the idea of ​​a harem, since reality isn't like a light novel from the Far East.

Therefore, it's perfectly normal for Kiana and her to have a rift after this incident.

What do you think about Mei's situation? Do you dislike it?

Kiana waved her hands repeatedly, "I like Mei too, but I like Ziyao a little more. Don't misunderstand, we have no conflict."

We weren't arguing or anything outside just now; it was just a little bit of jealousy.

Yeah, just a little.

"So that means you can accept it?"

At this point, Ziyao felt a little guilty.

Opening a crystal palace or something like that in reality, I always feel like I'd get hacked to pieces.

In the blink of an eye, Kiana's eyes suddenly turned cold, and she raised her hand to lift her chin. "One servant serving multiple masters? How absurd."

Celine expressed her disapproval of the matter, but then quickly changed the subject—

"However, I enjoy the desire to trample on ants even more, leaving them with unfulfilled desires and only a pitiful and envious look in the end."

"Hey, Sister Xilin, wait a minute..."

Kiana switched back to her account, blushing, worried that Sirin might say something unnecessary.

After chatting for a while, their relationship progressed further.

...

...

After confirming that everything was ready, Ziyao tried making the doll again.

To increase her chances of success, she hugged Kiana from behind.

This time was different from the first; the process of taking control of the girl's body was much easier.

Smooth sailing all the way, no wonder they say practice makes perfect.

With experience, Ziyao quickly got into the zone.

About ten minutes later, Kiana gradually regained control of her body.

"It worked...?"

"No, it's a failure."

Ziyao sighed, unable to understand the reason behind this subtle situation.

She sighed. Everything was ready, but something unpredictable happened at the last minute.

"Perhaps we need to work on this more."

The feelings, understanding, and coordination between each other all need to be gradually developed and practiced; they cannot be achieved overnight.

Perhaps I was just too impatient.

"Why just won't it work...?"

After listening to Ziyao's words, Kiana didn't feel that there was any misunderstanding between her and Ziyao.

All the misunderstandings were cleared up yesterday; she is not a petty or willful person.

"Um, how about we try doing something lovers do...?"

In a desperate situation, she would try anything, and she couldn't think of any good solutions.

How about taking things to the next level? Maybe that would work?

To comfort Ziyao, she said half-jokingly.

Sometimes, people tell the truth in a joking way to test someone's attitude towards something.

Kiana didn't think Ziyao would agree either, since the two things were completely unrelated.

"Hmm, it's worth a try."

Ziyao tapped her palm and nodded immediately.

So decisive?

Kiana gripped the blankets tightly, her cheeks flushed, her heart fluttering at the girl's words.

She wanted to explain.

But... she was moved.

Volume 1: Chapter 170 Adjustment (Part 2)

It doesn't matter whether it's proactive or reactive.

The girl placed her hands flat on her thighs, her face flushed.

She became very nervous at the thought that Mei and the others might come in later.

"Lift it up a little bit."

The shrine maiden brushed a strand of hair behind her ear; they were so close they could clearly feel each other's breath.

Kiana closed her eyes and waited for Ziyao.

Just as I was about to taste the marshmallow-like softness, there was a knock on the door.

Xilin said to ignore her, but the atmosphere was ruined, so Ziyao had no choice but to get up and open the door.

"Sister Ziyao, have you seen the mysterious person wearing a mask?"

Bronya, fully armed, stood in the doorway as she opened the door, secretly glancing inside the room.

Kiana's clothes were slightly disheveled, her pretty face flushed, as she sat upright on the bed.

"Skull mask?"

"Yeah, she was sneaking around behind Mei-nee, but Rosalia and I scared her away."

Bronya nodded and said, "As expected, Sister Ziyao is a very reliable person."

"It seems they are from the World Serpent. There's no need to chase them; they're very troublesome."

Ziyao explained that she knew in advance that the Gray Serpent would cooperate with Cocolia, so she could easily guess that it was the World Serpent.

The Butterfly Effect?

Because of her actions, this matter was delayed for more than half a year.
