What?! You want me to be the Herrscher of the End?!

"So even idiot Kiana feels pain?"

After finishing her water, Bronya reached out and pushed Kiana further onto the sofa, then tucked her tail back in; otherwise, Kiana would have stepped on it eight hundred times a day.

There's only one big table in the living room, used for both eating and studying, and two sofas next to it. Kiana hogs both of them by herself, and she's always rolling around on them with the sofas pushed together.

Sometimes, she even claimed the floor as her own territory. If it weren't for the carpet on the floor and how clean it was, Bronya would almost think Kiana was there to clean the house.

"Of course it will hurt, it's a phantom limb!"

Kiana sat up straight, hugged her precious tail to her chest, and rubbed her face against it.

Ultimately, Kiana is still the same as before, bickering with Bronya every day, which is practically her daily routine.

Bronya seemed quite happy about this, since sometimes Seele wasn't around, and playing around with Kiana was a nice spice in her life.

Oh right, there's also Mei. Sometimes Mei joins in and fools around with the two of them for a while.

"..."

Bronya rolled her eyes at Kiana, then found a seat and prepared to sit down.

Seeing this, Kiana quickly shifted her position to make room.

"Tell me, you idiot Kiana, what's been bothering you lately?"

As soon as she sat down, Bronya turned around and looked Kiana in the eye, speaking so quickly that she didn't give Kiana any time to react.

"Huh? Ah? I... what could be on my mind? Bronya, don't talk nonsense."

In her nervousness, Kiana hugged the tail in her arms even tighter, and her speech became somewhat stammering.

"Do they have to be so sensitive?" she thought to herself.

Bronya naturally noticed Kiana's unusual behavior, which further confirmed her suspicions.

Kiana is definitely suspicious! She's been acting so strangely lately. Not only have her grades improved dramatically, but she also keeps going to the class monitor's place for training. Normally, Kiana would avoid this like the plague, let alone go there on her own initiative.

And even so, she gets beaten every day, yet she always comes back with a cheerful expression. But is she really as carefree as she seems?

Bronya didn't see it that way, and Mei noticed it too, but both of them tacitly kept quiet, wanting to observe Kiana silently to see what was wrong with her.

But today is different. The training has come to a temporary halt, so the two of them have decided to go and sound them out to see if they can get any information out of them.

"Is it about Amo?"

Bronya's tone was calm, but as she spoke, a barely perceptible hint of sadness flashed in her eyes.

Although the statement was a test, Bronya had a vague feeling that it was the truth.

Besides that, she really couldn't think of anything else that could make Kiana act like this.

After all, Fu Hua was the only person who might know the truth about Bai Mo's disappearance, so it's hard not to think that Kiana went to Fu Hua to ask about this matter.

"So you still figured it out, Bronya?"

Kiana scratched her head with a wry smile. She didn't deny it; she thought she had hidden it quite well.

Or rather, after being discovered, she lost the will to continue hiding it.

"So, Kiana, if you have something on your mind, can you talk to us about it?"

At that moment, Mei also came out of the room and said gently.

Chapter 390 The Three Who Decide to Go to the World Serpent Together

"Mea Yi..."

Kiana looked at Mei, who was leaning in from behind, and whispered something to herself.

Both of their eyes were fixed on her. Where should she begin? Kiana was at a loss for words.

"You guys figured it out a long time ago?"

For some reason, Kiana felt a rare sense of relief after being exposed.

"Idiot Kiana never hides her feelings. If Himeko-sensei hadn't been so busy these past few days, it might not be Bronya and Mei asking questions here right now."

Bronya spoke quietly, and Mei nodded in agreement.

Indeed, Kiana has never been a skilled actress when it comes to hiding things.

"So Kiana, did you go to see the class president because of Amo?"

Mei posed her question.

"Is there any news?"

Bronya followed closely behind; both of them were also very concerned about this issue.

"I did go to see the class monitor about A-Mo's matter, but..."

"Just what?"

Mei's tone wasn't anxious; instead, she asked very gently.

"I didn't ask Amo directly, but instead asked the class monitor for a favor: to take me with her when she goes to World Serpent."

"So, Kiana, what you really want to do is to confirm that one thing."

Hearing this, Bronya actually knew what Kiana really wanted to do.

"Ah."

Upon hearing this, Kiana nodded silently.

To confront March 7th or Asura directly, asking her if she was Bai Mo, was a decision made by the three of them. However, what Bronya didn't expect was that Kiana would want to take action so quickly.

However, it must be mentioned that this is indeed a good opportunity to legitimately leave St. Freya and follow Fu Hua to World Serpent.

There are some security concerns, though. Even if World Serpent stops implementing the "Stigmata Project," it is still a force to be reckoned with. Perhaps, abandoning the "Stigmata Project" is just a pretext for a new plan.

In short, in Bronya's eyes, the World Serpent organization was full of danger.

Although these people were warriors and heroes who fought against the Honkai in the previous civilization era, she still had to be wary because of the existence of the [Stigmata Project].

People in this era will only follow their own footsteps, not be puppets wound up and moving along fixed paths.

Mei felt the same way; when she heard that Kiana was going to go to Serpent World with Fu Hua, her face was full of worry.

"When exactly will the class monitor leave?"

"Let's wait until after the meditation. The class monitor said she's regained a lot of memories recently, so she needs to rest for a while longer."

Seeing Mei's worried look, Kiana smiled, indicating that she shouldn't worry.

"Can we go together? That way we can look after each other. After all, it would be very dangerous to go to the World Serpent headquarters without proper preparation."

In the past few days, Mei has perfectly mastered the powers of the Herrscher of Thunder within her, making it easy for her to communicate with her other personality. Moreover, at crucial moments, she can even allow her other self to control her body to fight, resulting in a significant increase in her combat power.

Although this power might be too weak compared to the warriors of those previous civilizations, Mei was still worried about letting Kiana go alone.

Fu Hua is alright, since she was a comrade and friend of those warriors before she lost her memory, but Kiana is not.

Bronya also felt that this was the best solution.

"But... I need to ask the class monitor about the specifics of this matter. Also, if all three of us go, what should we say to Ms. Himeko and Auntie?"

Kiana was hesitant because she didn't know how Himeko and Theresa viewed the relationship between Asura and Bai Mo.

If she were going alone, she could find an excuse to say that she was going to follow Fu Hua on her journey of cultivation. But if there were more people, she wouldn't have a suitable excuse.

"..."

"..."

As expected, after hearing Kiana ask a question, both of them fell silent for a few seconds.

Should we sneak out? The walls of St. Freya Academy aren't high; even Kiana could easily climb over them.

Let's leave aside the risks for now.

Bronya mentally simulated the possibilities of this approach and ultimately concluded that it was feasible.

As for Mei, she was already thinking about how to ask Theresa for leave to go out, and the reason she would give was to go home to pick up some things.

Although this reason may sound a bit far-fetched, it is still quite reasonable.

"Don't worry, Kiana. You just need to get the class monitor to agree to take us. We'll figure out the rest."

Mei exchanged a glance with Bronya, nodded, and patted her chest to assure her.

"Alright then, I'll tell the class monitor about this this afternoon!"

Seeing that the two were determined, Kiana had no choice but to reluctantly agree.

Well, there's no point in saying anything more now.

"Okay, then I'll leave this to you, Kiana." Mei smiled and gently hugged her from behind the sofa. "Thank you for your hard work."

"You've worked hard, you idiot Kiana."

Bronya smiled as well.

"It wasn't too hard, but if Mei insists on making me some fried chicken, I don't mind!"

In response to their concern, Kiana pressed her index finger to her lips, subtly hinting at something.

After finally speaking her mind, she felt much more relaxed and no longer looked so preoccupied.

Pretending not to see Bronya's speechless expression, Kiana made a face at her instead.

"Eating this so early in the morning isn't good... Fine, I'll make an exception for today. Kiana, you and Bronya stay here and wait."

Seeing this, Mei couldn't bring herself to refuse, and turned to walk towards the kitchen.

"Great!"

Kiana raised her hands and shouted.

For a moment, only Kiana and Bronya remained in the living room.

"Idiot Kiana, do you dare weigh yourself after eating fried chicken?"

Like a devil's whisper, Bronya said with a wicked grin.

"Me! What wouldn't I dare to do! Eating some fried chicken... won't make me fat."
