There were too many people who could appear in the light screen, and they didn't know which one to guess.
Yae no Miko noticed that everyone wanted to see who would appear in the scene, and being the most mischievous of them all, she simply stated it directly—
"How about we make a bet and see who can guess who's in the picture?"
"The stakes... are..."
Yae no Miko's idea to have some fun was thwarted by a single look from Raiden General, whose gaze revealed Raiden's reproach for the guy.
………………
………………
Under Mei's guilty gaze, and under Kiana's intense and burning stare...
Under the watchful eyes of Lei's film crew, who hoped to clear her name.
The light curtain slowly opened.
"Um???"
"Wasn't it supposed to be the Yellow Springs?? How come it's her?"
When they saw the slender, mature, violet-like woman appearing on the screen, everyone was filled with questions.
Although you don't know the Black Swan, you've seen her in the story of Firefly and Star.
In the hall where Liu Ying died, wasn't it Black Swan and Huang Quan appearing together behind Xing?
Chapter 102 Kiana's Heavy Head
In the scene displayed on the screen, a woman as beautiful as a violet is dressed in light gauze, her beautiful figure appearing especially alluring under the close-fitting fabric.
This mature lady, veiled in a veil, possesses an effortless and composed demeanor at all times, seemingly the very embodiment of elegance.
Before her stood a petite yet vibrant… even “explosive” presence, smiling and greeting the black swan.
That petite girl seemed to be from the Orient? Her daring attire, fiery and vibrant, outlined a dazzling, fireworks-like beauty, revealing an Oriental flair.
Her long hair was styled into lively pigtails, and the fox mask on her head added a touch of mystery.
The black swan's figure was reflected in her pomegranate-red eyes, and the two beauty marks beneath those beautiful eyes made her even more peculiar.
Although the girl named Hanabi had a smile on her face, it was far more unsettling than the Black Swan's gentle yet aloof smile.
A hidden danger emanates from Hanabi, as if... once you fall into her grasp, you will become a toy for her pleasure and gratification.
This extremely dangerous aura, which could even be described as having "pleasure" written all over their faces, caused a name to simultaneously rise in the minds of everyone in the Collapse Iron Universe in front of the light screen—
【Joyful Star God】Aha
That star god who revered entertainment above all else seemed like an anomaly compared to other star gods in the universe.
Unlike [Preservation], [Destruction], [Hunting], [Abundance], etc., the actions of [Joyful Star God] Aha have only one purpose, as its name suggests—
"Joy"
The God of Joy accepts anything that brings happiness... or more accurately, any form of entertainment.
Whether it's schadenfreude or any kind of "fun" arising from joy, anger, sorrow, or any other emotion, it's all something that Aha, the [Star God of Joy], enjoys.
Those masked fools who worship the "God of Pleasure" are precisely the "fools" who regard "pleasure above all else" as the ultimate truth.
The mysterious fox mask that the girl named Hanabi always wore further confirmed her identity.
Although it's unclear why Hanabi and the Black Swan are standing together, their conversation continues in the scene—
Hanabi smiled at the black swan, seemingly trying to be friendly, but there was always a hint of mockery in her expression. The black swan reflected in her pomegranate-like eyes looked like a toy she had her eye on.
"We are both alone, so why not... come with me and dance a duet together?"
Hanabi winked playfully at Black Swan, her voice as light and mischievous as her identity as a devotee of pleasure.
The word "duet" popped out of Hanabi's mouth, which can be seen as a direct reference to the title of the light screen.
Although the "Yellow Springs" mentioned in the title still didn't appear on the screen, at least the word "dancing" was mentioned...
As a mature and sophisticated woman, the Black Swan did not readily agree or refuse Hanabi's seemingly meaningful invitation to dance.
The black swan revealed an elegant smile, and the reflection of Hanabi in her eyes seemed to reveal her wisdom. In addition to her gentleness, her lips also showed a sense of ease in dealing with Hanabi.
After all, she had previously been included in the "Star's Good Mother" list on the screen...
While it's not certain that Black Swan and Hoshino have a deep relationship, it's certain that her mature style allows her to handle a joyful believer like Hanabi, a masked fool.
"Oh? May I understand that..."
"Is the masked Fool extending an invitation to me to cooperate?"
When Hanabi invited her to dance, the Black Swan gently rested her snow-white chin on her hand and declined to answer Hanabi's question.
She pondered for a moment, then threw the question back to Hanabi, choosing to "answer the question with the question" to avoid falling into the trap of the pleasure believers.
Although the fireworks may seem like a simple invitation for the Black Swan to dance, there are unknown schemes and traps hidden within, and the Black Swan is far from being so naive as to step into them so easily.
"While memories are like the deep sea, if you want to have two flavors from one fish... the fish from the sea might not suit your taste, you know?"
Hanabi's reaction to the Black Swan's actions—which amounted to a "rejection" but were not explicitly named, instead throwing the question back at her—was surprisingly—
"Aha~"
Although Hanabi was chuckling, her voice betrayed a hint of resentment at being rejected, more like a forced smile than anger.
Immediately, Hanabi's smile vanished, and she frowned as she stared at the black swan.
So you mean... you're going to refuse?
Joyful believers are never easy to deal with; their joys and sorrows seem unpredictable, just like Hanabi is now.
However, precisely because of this, Hanabi's anger towards the Black Swan quickly dissipated as she shrugged, and her furrowed brows relaxed in relief.
"Sigh~ Oh well, darling, you'll find out the right answer sooner or later, it's just a matter of time~"
Hanabi, as if certain that the Black Swan would ultimately choose her, revealed a confident smile with an air of self-assurance.
As for black swans...
She remained completely unmoved by Hanabi's flippant and confident remarks.
The black swan even mimicked the way fireworks were said, uttering the word "dear" in a playful way—
"I'm sorry, darling, I already have someone in mind for my dance partner."
As the black swan returned the flirtatious glance from the fireworks, the image froze on her captivating face.
"Interesting...what a complicated woman...I like her~hehe~"
The scene temporarily came to a halt, accompanied by the fireworks' mutterings as if they had found an interesting toy.
………………
………………
Inside St. Freya Academy, everyone stared at the fireworks and black swans on the light screen, who seemed to be having a "friendly conversation" but were actually engaged in a passionate confrontation, a battle of wits.
They had seen Black Swan, this mature older sister, before, and after witnessing her words and actions, they couldn't help but sigh that she truly deserved to be listed as one of the "Star's Good Mothers" on the screen.
That elegant posture and mature charm, seemingly throwing the problem back to Hanabi, are actually constantly vying for dominance.
Fireworks was even more peculiar; this little girl possessed an aura that made them all feel dangerous. Everyone shared a consensus about that person—
I don't want to deal with dangerous people, and I don't want to have any deeper conversations with them. Who knows how I might end up as their toy?
She does look somewhat similar to Kiana, but compared to Kiana...
Although both Hanabi and Kiana appear to be full of energy, Kiana is more like a cheerful and energetic young girl.
Fireworks, on the other hand, seem rather cunning, an elusive little devil.
As for Kiana herself, she was completely bewildered.
The title is supposed to be about Huang Quan's dance partner, so why is the debate between Black Swan and Fireworks going on?
Where exactly did they finally reach an agreement?
"Hey, hey, hey? What do you mean by 'two ways to cook a fish'? What do you mean by 'fish from the sea'?"
"The domineering Moon Sea Fish Cat??"
Kiana didn't know why that strange word came out of her mouth; in any case, she was completely baffled by the conversation between the two girls, one big and one small, in the scene.
"They were speaking in words I could understand, but when they were put together, I suddenly couldn't understand them anymore?"
"Stupid Kiana..."
Seeing Kiana constantly typing question marks, Bronya sighed and shook her head.
Mei, Himeko, Fu Hua, and Theresa, while not cursing Kiana like Bronya did, also looked at her with pitying eyes.
They all seemed to understand the conversation between the black swan and the fireworks on the screen, except for Kiana, who remained completely oblivious.
This feeling, which was almost like a riddle, made Kiana feel like ants were crawling all over her body, making her feel itchy inside and all over!
"What? Wasn't it supposed to be dancing with the Yellow Springs? Who is that?"
Kiana pointed to the slender and elegant mature woman.
That's a black swan.
"What about the other smaller one?"
Kiana pointed to the firework that seemed somewhat similar to her, but was completely different in its "danger of manipulating others".
"Those are fireworks."
"What about the Yellow Springs?"
"The Underworld is Dancing"
"..."
Bronya, who was very familiar with jokes from her hometown, instinctively explained it to Kiana in this way, leaving the already confused Kiana speechless.
"Bronya, the jokes from your hometown aren't funny at all."
