Starting from the Collapse World, I became the behind-the-scenes boss

…………

On the other side, in the Paradise Hall.

"What an interesting story! Which girl do you think this genius boy will choose to spend his life with?"

Thunder Sword Saint? Moon Knight? Or that Sun Knight?

Holding the comic book in her hands and slowly flipping through it, Alicia smiled and asked the boy a question.

"It probably comes down to who can draw the more exciting story."

Shihen shrugged and replied.

After Walter Yang started this "Sword God's Machine Gaiden", even Raiden Ryoma stopped constantly clamoring to become the new era's sword saint.

After all, if he didn't get involved, Siegfried would have cut all of Thunder Sword Saint's screen time.

Well, you should never question the extent to which an elderly father might be biased in such matters.

Sometimes, just to fight for even the smallest bit of screen time, Siegfried and Ryoma would clash swords for days on end.

Ultimately, both fathers are fundamentally committed to pure love and naturally cannot accept the young man's philandering.

Faced with this almost irreconcilable conflict, Walter, the old leader of the alliance, could only sigh helplessly and try to devise a way to persuade the Sun Knight to abandon the darkness and embrace the light.

As for Cocolia... when she finished reading the manga and said, "Why not go for a harem route?", she was beaten into a coma by her two furious fathers and didn't leave her room for a full two weeks.

This is what happens when you have a sharp tongue.

If she had just stayed out of the spotlight, Siegfried and the others wouldn't have bothered with her at all.

After all, even if Cocolia didn't do much wrong, Siegfried and the others were still decent characters and wouldn't live World Serpent's daily life as just eating, sleeping, and fighting Cocolia.

"And what about you?"

I haven't met Moon Knight yet, but Thunder Sword Saint and Sun Knight are both very nice girls, so you can't just play with their feelings~

Alicia said with a smile.

"Compared to them, I still prefer you, Alicia."

Shihen shook his head.

Knowing full well the Pink Fairy's wicked nature, he certainly wouldn't let her lead him by the nose.

"really?"

Excitedly, Alicia's eyes practically sparkled.

"fake."

Without hesitation, Shihen raised his hand and tapped the girl's forehead, "Also, your acting is too exaggerated."

"This is a genuine expression of my feelings!"

Alicia tried to explain herself.

"Yes Yes Yes--"

Shihen answered in a clearly perfunctory tone.

This is a heartbreaker; she never tells more than half the truth.

"However, when can you bring that Moon Knight to me so I can see him?"

She must be a very cute girl, right?

Not disappointed by the boy's attitude, Alicia's smile was always radiant.

"Don't worry, you will see it."

Shihen smiled and replied, "She's the best girl in the world, you'll definitely like her a lot."

As long as Mei and the others aren't around, he can shout "Kiana is the best in the world" without hesitation.

"It's even better if one girl praises another girl in front of the other; even I'd get jealous!"

Puffing out her cheeks, Alicia glared at the boy intently.

"But Alicia is the cutest person in the world, so she'll definitely forgive me."

Shihen smiled and said.

"Alright, then I, the world's cutest Alicia, will generously forgive you this time."

She couldn't help but laugh too, and the girl's smile became as radiant as flying flowers once again.

Chapter 133 The White-Haired Dumpling Wants to Seize Victory

Anti-Entropy Headquarters, Combat Training Room.

Swish!

A row of ice spikes suddenly materialized in mid-air and flew out, piercing through the five newly spawned Honkai Beasts as easily as paper.

As the Honkai Beast swayed and dissipated into energy particles, a gentle system notification sounded:

"The IX difficulty trial has been completed, with a total time of 23 seconds."

Congratulations on achieving a new record.

The simulated city scene disappeared, and Anna looked at the training room scene that had reappeared around her and let out a long sigh, but a look of confusion appeared on her face.

Although, in general, her life has not changed much compared to the past, daily training and occasional combat missions are still the main parts of her life.

But for the girl who had become a Herrscher, this life, which was not much different from the past, made her feel a sense of unfamiliarity.

It's like an adult wearing children's clothes; it just doesn't feel right.

Anna, feeling restless and unable to shake off her unease, walked out of the training room with a sullen face. Suddenly, a black-haired boy came into view, which made her eyes light up.

"Alliance Leader Shihen!?"

Anna exclaimed in surprise. Seeing the boy walking towards her, she subconsciously took a step back, and only felt a little relieved after tidying her not-so-messy hair and clothes.

Great, this should prevent me from embarrassing myself in front of the boy and being disliked by him.

"Miss Anna, how do you find the Anti-Entropy training room useful? Is there anything that needs improvement?"

As he handed the girl a bottle of sweet juice, Shihen smiled and asked.

"No! The training room at Anti-Entropy is already excellent; it has far more features than the one I used at Destiny."

Anna took the juice and glanced at the boy out of the corner of her eye, a smile involuntarily appearing on her face.

"As long as Miss Anna is satisfied."

Shihen simply shook his head and smiled slightly at the girl's five-star review, "Just a few days ago, Kiana was complaining that the training room was too easy, and she couldn't even use her full strength."

Anna: "???"

A Herrscher with three cores is going all out. Is Miss Kiana trying to dismantle the entire Anti-Entropy?

She deeply felt the gap between herself and these senior Herrschers.

Shaking her head to clear her mind, Anna followed the boy's steps slowly down the corridor, glancing furtively at him as she asked, "Is Alliance Leader Shihen here to see Miss Kiana?"

As she spoke softly, the girl couldn't help but feel a little downcast.

The administrative area and the combat readiness area in the base are not close, and the young man, as the leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance, has always had a heavy burden, so it is impossible for him to come here for a walk.

Even though Anna understood this, she still felt a sense of unease, as if it had suddenly started raining on a rare holiday.

"No, Kiana went out on a mission today. I came here because of Miss Anna."

Shihen shook his head.

Now that he's tricked Anna out of Destiny and brought her to... cough cough, to Anti-Entropy, he'll naturally take responsibility and help the girl create new bonds here.

This is his inescapable mission as an anti-entropy advocate.

"what!?"

Upon hearing this, Anna's beautiful eyes widened, and her pretty face was completely filled with surprise.

"How is Miss Anna doing in Anti-Entropy? Is she adjusting well to life here?"

Shihen asked with a smile.

“I’m doing well here. Everyone in Anti-Entropy is a good person, and Lady Theresa is very concerned about me.”

Anna lowered her head slightly and twirled a strand of white hair that had fallen in front of her as she spoke.

Objectively speaking, Anti-Entropy has indeed treated her quite well, not only providing her with the highest standards of treatment for combat personnel, but also never disappointing her in the details of her daily life.

If she was merely an A-rank Valkyrie with a slightly influential background in Schicksal, then in Anti-Entropy she was practically the supreme leader's favorite daughter...

Anna glanced at the gentle-smiling boy beside her and hurriedly shook her head to stop the thought.

Honestly, everyone in Anti-Entropy treats her so well, how could she have such thoughts?

The boy is only two years older than her!

“Miss Anna, please feel free to voice any complaints you may have. Kiana, on the other hand, is always complaining about how bad the cafeteria food is.”

Upon hearing the girl's words, Shihen couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

Although Anna has been at Anti-Entropy for some time, she is still quite reserved and hasn't really opened up.

Of course, one should just listen to the complaints of that white fluffy little thing and not take them too seriously; he still knows that the real intention behind them is not what it seems.

"No, no, no! Everyone in Anti-Entropy has been good enough to me, how could I cause you any more trouble?"

Anna hurriedly waved her hand.

"Anna Schariac!"

His steps suddenly stopped, and Shihen placed his hand on the girl's shoulder.

"Yes!"

Anna instinctively stood at attention and answered, her body trembling slightly.

She really did cause trouble for Anti-Entropy and made the boy dislike her, didn't she?

Feeling the power transmitted through her palm, Anna's mood sank even lower.

"No matter what, I hope you can understand one thing."

For me, and for anti-entropy, Miss Anna has never been a problem.

He spoke slowly and deliberately, his gaze fixed on the girl's eyes without wavering. "From a broader perspective, Miss Anna is now a Herrscher who wields the power of ice, a valuable asset for humanity in its fight against the Honkai."

From a personal perspective... what Anti-Entropy and I want to create is a world where everyone can pursue happiness, and Miss Anna's happiness is naturally included in that.

So stop saying things like you're afraid of trouble.

If Miss Anna continues to suppress her true thoughts, that will be a real problem for me and Anti-Entropy!

"Alliance Leader Time Trace..."

Raising her head to meet the boy's intense gaze, Anna couldn't help but think of the years she spent in Destiny.

If she had been able to share her truest thoughts with her companions after the Manila incident, would everything that happened on Coral Island have been avoided?

"I...I will confess properly to Alliance Leader Shihen later."

Anna shifted her gaze slightly, not daring to meet the boy's eyes, and whispered.

"It's not about being honest, it's just casually expressing my thoughts, like between friends."

Even setting aside our relationship as the leader and warrior of the Anti-Entropy Alliance, I would still very much like to be friends with a lovely girl like Miss Anna.

Seeing the girl's weak and vulnerable appearance, Shihen couldn't help but shake his head and smile.

"Well……"

Anna lowered her head involuntarily, pursed her lips, and then continued, "Then... can Alliance Leader Shihen call me by my name?"

Back when they were still on Coral Island, the boy would always call her by her name, but after the crisis was over, they became distant.

"..."

Upon hearing this, Shihen was taken aback for a moment, then his smile deepened. "Of course, Anna."

Similarly, you can call me by my name directly.
