The collapse started when Kiana came to the door

When a man and a woman were alone in a room, the girl walked into the bathroom without any precautions and took a bath... Kiana didn't dare to imagine what would happen next.

She was now extremely glad that she had come to Li Shubai's dormitory early in the morning. Thinking of this, Kiana's expression suddenly became extremely serious. She grabbed Li Shubai's arm that was covering her ears and said seriously: "Let your aunt transfer you to another dormitory. It must be very inconvenient for you to live alone. Come to my dormitory and live with the two of us! Meiyi, do you think it's okay?"

Mei Raiden blushed and nodded gently: "I have no objection, if Kiana thinks it's okay..."

"Then it's settled. I'm going to look for my aunt right now." Kiana spoke quickly, "Right away! Right now! Pooh——!"

Swoosh! Bang! Suddenly, accompanied by the sound of something breaking through the air and hitting the forehead, Kiana's resolute and serious words turned into a painful cry in an instant.

It was a tin can that flew in a parabolic arc from the second floor all the way to Kiana's forehead with great precision.

Kiana, who had been hit precisely, took a step back from the shock on her forehead. She covered her red forehead, and suddenly straightened her body. She stared at a room on the second floor of the dormitory with an open door. She stomped her foot with anger in her eyes, "Who is it?! How can you be called a hero if you attack by surprise? If you want to fight, come out and fight me squarely!"

"So noisy..." A slightly childish, inorganic voice, with a hint of dissatisfaction, echoed in the dormitory. Hearing this voice, both Raiden Mei and Kiana couldn't help but show a dazed expression.

Could this voice be - Kiana swallowed her saliva. She had always been fearless, but at this moment she couldn't help but feel like retreating.

But when the figure who was speaking appeared at the door of the room on the second floor, there was a click, and Kiana was completely petrified.

She was petrified for a long time, stroking her chin and thinking for a moment, then she clapped her hands as if she understood everything and nodded gently.

Kiana stretched out a finger and waved it in front of her eyes, acting like a sensible older sister: "Hello, little boy, I'm your mother's friend Kiana. It's not nice to throw things at others. I'll forgive you this time. If there's a next time, poof --!!!"

The same scene, the same feeling, but this time it changed from a sneak attack to a frontal attack. A big cross appeared on Kiana's forehead, and her expression gradually became more ferocious: "You little brat!! You want to be beaten, right? You must be! Mei, don't hold me back! I must teach this arrogant little brat a lesson today!!!"

"..."Looking at the unbearable scene in front of him, Li Shubai silently covered his eyes.

...Just like that, after a lot of chaos.

"What!! This arrogant brat is actually that Bronya?!!!"

The screams broke through the roof and reached the sky.

In the dormitory's living room, four people sat in a circle around a coffee table, listening to the sound of running water.

Kiana stared in amazement at the petite girl with twin spiral ponytails in front of her. The image of the elegant, beautiful, handsome and mature woman she met yesterday suddenly appeared in her mind. She didn't know what was wrong with her brain, but she subconsciously stretched out her hand and pointed it at Bronya's head, then raised it a little higher and pointed it at the void.

She swallowed, her voice dry and trembling: "It's unbelievable... a person can change so much..."

Looking at Kiana's shocked expression, Li Shubai breathed a sigh of relief.

Good, we’ve changed the subject.

Suddenly, Kiana frowned.

Wait, something seems wrong.

I always feel like I have forgotten something - ah!

"No! Don't change the subject!" Under Li Shubai's desperate eyes, Kiana stood up from the sofa and slammed the coffee table, "Why do you live with them?!"

"I have already reported my words to Dean Theresa." The calm voice stated the facts without any hesitation.

Kiana, Raiden Mei and Li Shubai turned their necks subconsciously and were stunned at the same time.

The blonde Valkyrie wiped her fluffy hair with a towel and walked out of the bathroom wearing a bathrobe. The moon-white silk bathrobe was quite close-fitting, outlining the graceful curves of Yulandel's slender body. But strangely, no one thought that Yulandel's dress was inappropriate at all.

She is such a person. Just standing there doing nothing, she gives people a feeling of asceticism and sharpness like an ascetic monk.

She hung the towel on a rack nearby, lowered her eyelids, and looked at Bronya with her emotionless blue eyes. She said calmly, "As for Miss Bronya, she must have hacked into the school's system and inserted her own file into St. Freya's student database."

"...So, Miss Yulandel is going to expose Bronya to the dean?" Bronya raised her head slightly and met Yulandel's slightly downward gaze without any ripples, her eyes were flat and indifferent.

"No, although I don't know how much you remember, since you have also received the consciousness projection from your future self, you should also know why I called Mr. Li Shubai the captain last night." Yulandel shook her head. "The Yulandel standing here now is not the strongest Valkyrie from the destiny, but an ordinary crew member under the command of Mr. Li Shubai, the captain. That's all. Therefore, I have no obligation to report the traitor to the current destiny and Dean Theresa."

"After all, strictly speaking, you are the biggest traitor in Sinister Realm right now, and there is no doubt about it," said Bronya.

Hearing Bronya's words, a half-smile appeared in Yulandel's eyes: "Isn't it because you know this that you are unscrupulously announcing the reason for your admission to the university to us?"

Chapter 40: A Penny Can Make a Hero Strike Back

Kiana and Raiden Mei were both stunned.

The conversation between Bronya and Yulandel should obviously be private and hidden, but now it has been openly revealed here by these two people without any scruples. This made Kiana and Raiden Mei feel a little helpless, but at the same time, they inexplicably developed a strange sense of excitement.

However, they didn't take it to heart. They were just kidding. One of them was the eldest daughter of ME Club and the anti-entropy executor Raiden Ryoma; the other was the daughter of Schicksal's most wanted criminal. They had neither a sense of belonging nor trust in Schicksal. Even if they were recommended by their families to enter St. Freya's Academy, in the hearts of Raiden Mei and Kiana, the fact that this was the Far East Branch of Schicksal would not change.

"Oh, right." Kiana suddenly seemed to remember something, raised her head and looked at Youlandel, pointed at Li Shubai, "I basically guessed that you are also his crew member, but why you?"

She counted on her fingers and said, "The reason why I, who came from the future, would map my consciousness is to find Shu Bai, the little brat over there... The reason why Bronya in the future would map my consciousness is to protect him in Changkong City. Now Shu Bai has escaped from Changkong City with us and joined my aunt's St. Freya Academy. His safety is also guaranteed to a certain extent. So what are you doing here?"

"This..." Yulandel showed a somewhat troubled expression, as if it was a little difficult to talk about what Kiana asked.

"Maybe it's for you." Li Shubai said indifferently.

"For me?" Kiana was stunned. "What does it have to do with me?"

"If it had been developed as it was originally, the current Youlandel should not have appeared in Changkong City and Saint Freya." Li Shubai raised his head and glanced at the somewhat embarrassed Youlandel. "You can't ignore Youlandel's original position just because this Youlandel here chose to stand on the same side as the four of us. Just as she said, she is now the strongest Valkyrie of Destiny and the most capable general under Bishop Otto."

"Bishop Otto... is he the one who issued a wanted order for my stinky dad?" Kiana frowned, while Li Shubai nodded gently. "Although I don't know the specific process, but judging from the fact that Bronya has now returned to her original appearance in this timeline, I think she must have sensed the arrival of Yulandel after she became an adult. Based on my understanding of Yulandel, even an adult Bronya would not be her opponent. Therefore, the only way to stop Yulandel is to use consciousness mapping to replace the original Yulandel with another one that leans towards our side before she takes action."

"You are worthy of being the captain. You are as observant as always." I don't know what she was thinking about, but Yulandel's fair cheeks suddenly showed a blush as if she was drunk, and she felt happy as if she had eaten honey.

And, as always, you have great confidence in my abilities...

"No way." Kiana opened her mouth slightly, looking at Yulandel with astonishment and disbelief in her eyes, "Even the future Bronya can't be her opponent? Is she really that powerful?"

"Believe me, you don't want to have a serious fight with her." Li Shubai shrugged exaggeratedly: "Even if it's your future self...wait."

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration came to Li Shubai's mind, and he felt that something seemed to be wrong.

For Kiana?

"That, Yulandel." Li Shubai said.

"What's wrong?" Yulandel asked.

Li Shubai looked at Yulandel, then looked at her again in Kiana's somewhat puzzled eyes, and his expression became a little strange.

He stroked his chin and was silent for a moment, then asked, "Have you fully awakened the power of the stigmata in your body now?"

Yulandel's expression changed. She glanced at Kiana at an extremely subtle angle that no one could notice, and nodded slightly: "... Well, if it's a short period of time, it's not impossible to call out Krishna, but by that time, the consciousness mapping will probably end early due to the intense consumption of consciousness energy."

"Really? It's a pity if you can't exert your full strength." After getting Yulandel's reply, Li Shubai naturally changed the subject, as if what he was talking about just now was simply calculating the strength that Yulandel could exert. Raiden Mei and Kiana didn't notice anything wrong, only Bronya looked at Li Shubai deeply.

Li Shubai raised his head and glanced at the wall clock.

Before they knew it, time had come to half past seven as they talked. He pondered for a moment, raised his arms, and clapped his hands.

Everyone's eyes were focused on him, and Kiana couldn't help but ask, "What's up?"

This question made Li Shubai embarrassed for a moment. He looked at Qiana with a caring look and said, "Aren't you here to go shopping with me?"

Ok?

Is this true? Kiana tilted her head, recalled it briefly, and laughed awkwardly: "Ah, hahahaha, of course I know! Who do you think I am?"

"Also, before we go shopping, there is a more important question." Li Shubai said seriously.

"Important question?" Kiana asked curiously, "What important question?"

Li Shubai made a circle with his index finger and thumb, placed it in front of Kiana's eyes, and then asked a soul-searching question: "Do you have money?"

"..." Good question. Kiana was stunned by the question. She frowned and lowered her head, looking like she was lost in thought, but her expression became more and more uglier.

"Although I believe that Dean Theresa loves you so much that she would not give you pocket money." Li Shubai's voice was flat and indifferent, as if he was talking about other people's affairs that had nothing to do with him. Perhaps he was afraid that if he got too familiar with them, his IQ would also drop. "However, with your IQ, Dean Theresa probably wouldn't think of it if you didn't take the initiative to ask for it. Then, I guess you came to me this morning just to find a reason on the spur of the moment, so you definitely wouldn't take the initiative to ask your aunt for pocket money last night."

No... Unable to refute, Kiana bit her lower lip unwillingly, and glared at Li Shubai's body that quietly moved away from her: "Are you calling me stupid?"

"How could that be?" Li Shubai's expression was as pious as a priest chanting the Bible. He smiled very gently and said sincerely from the bottom of his heart: "I was praising you for being as smart as the Far East Branch's Chief Commander, Lady Theresa."

"Is... is that so?" Kiana hesitated. Although this was the truth, she always felt something was wrong.

Mei Raiden and Bronya looked at each other, and both could tell from the other's slightly twitching mouth that the other was trying very hard to hold back laughter.

I can’t take it anymore…this child…is so cute.

Yulandel held her forehead with her hand, unable to bear to complain.

"Then... there's no way I can go shopping today?" Kiana lowered her head, looking depressed.

She had been looking forward to today's shopping since early morning, and she couldn't help feeling a little frustrated when she suddenly found out that she was temporarily penniless.

Li Shubai took out his wallet with a look of disgust, pulled out a card from the card bag, and threw it in front of Kiana: "Hey, come and eat."

Kiana's eyebrows lit up immediately, without any of the backbone of a young lady or the pride that a Kaslana person should have - that thing had long been fed to a dog in a blue tights when she wandered all the way from Siberia to the Far East. She grabbed the bank card that Li Shubai threw to her in her hand, her face full of joy: "Thank you Shubai! I knew you would be prepared!"

Huh? Wait.

Kiana suddenly became curious: "Why are you only asking me? What about Mei and the others?"

Then she watched Mei Raiden, Bronya, and Yulandel all take out their bank cards.

"As for me...my father gave me living expenses before I came to Saint Freya," said Raiden Mei.

"Bronya has her own source of income and is not short of money," Bronya said.

"Well, Valkyries also get paid, so..." Yulandel spread her hands, smiling, "...as you can see."

Kiana's expression turned into stone at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"You all think I'm an idiot, don't you?!!!"

The wailing sound that seemed to be about to burst into tears resounded through the sky.

Chapter 41: In Despair

With a click, Li Shubai locked the door of the dormitory.

"Hurry up! I'm starving!" About ten meters away from the door, Kiana stood on the sidewalk and waved to Li Shubai.

"I'll be there soon." Li Shubai responded.

The five people walked together towards the gate of St. Freya's College.

After passing through the marble-paved ground of St. Freya's College, the five people came to the bridge leading to the city.

St. Freya Academy is located in the northwest suburbs of the city, surrounded by a tranquil lake and backed by mountains to the west. It is connected to the city by the only bridge outside the gate.

Six years ago, the city was only in the west near St. Freya College, and the sea was endless from the beach to the east. After St. Freya College was established, the eastern ocean was continuously filled up by the construction team of the Far East Branch of the Destiny, and the uninhabited land was gradually developed into the prosperous large coastal city today.

Enduring the strange looks from other passengers, Li Shubai and his four companions took the bus all the way to the core business district of the Eastern New District.

We arrived at the commercial street at around eight in the morning. Perhaps because it was still winter vacation, there were few people on the street and most of the shops were not open yet. Of course, even at this time, breakfast shops were basically already in full swing of business.

At this moment, Kiana, who had just gotten off the car, stopped as if her feet had taken root, not moving at all.

"What's wrong? Kiana?" Raiden Mei asked curiously, while Li Shubai looked in the direction Kiana was looking.

[Now is the season for xiaolongbao! !] The huge red sign and the aroma of the takeout mixed with the steam from the meat buns made Li Shubai speechless for a moment, and he sighed in his heart.

After all, this is the Far East, not the Shenzhou which was modeled after the country where he lived in his previous life.

You know, in that country, if you want to eat xiaolongbao, there is no need to consider the season.

With such a sigh, Li Shubai bought ten bags of dumplings under Kiana's blue pupils that were so excited that she could almost see stars.

...As a result, in less than twenty minutes, all ten bags of dumplings were eaten.

Looking at Kiana's face that looked like a little cat while she was eating the buns, Li Shubai shook his head and couldn't help but take out a napkin from his pocket. He wiped off the meat crumbs on Kiana's mouth under the strange gazes of Mei Raiden, Bronya and Yulandel and the stunned and ashamed gaze of Kiana.

What a bad idea! Bronya turned her head away silently. Obviously, she should be the one who should be subjected to such behavior in terms of age, but because of her intelligence, she had the advantage and Kiana took the lead instead.

Bronya suddenly realized that sometimes, being a little childish could bring unexpected benefits.

Damn it, was this part of your plan? Kiana Kaslana!

You are really despicable now!

"Oh, right." Suddenly, Yulandel seemed to remember something, "In addition to the necessities of life, I think you should prepare some private clothes?"

At this time, Li Shubai had not noticed anything wrong. He just thought from a purely rational perspective that there was nothing wrong with Yulandel's words, and nodded along with Kiana, Bronya, and Raiden Mei.

It was not until Li Shubai took the elevator from the bottom floor of the department store to the third floor where women's fashion clothing was located that he finally reacted.

Oh, that's not good.

After realizing his own stupidity and short-sightedness, Li Shubai looked at the dazzling layers of ladies' clothing in front of him, his eyes twitching, and he felt like a toad surrounded by mirrors.

Although this metaphor is a little inappropriate, Li Shubai's survival instinct has indeed released the highest level of alarm for his extreme loyalty.
