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

Even though Yae Village no longer exists.

"..."

Seeing the fox-eared girl suddenly burst into passion, Shihen's expression instantly turned strange.

Does this country bumpkin think it's still a thousand years ago?

Wake up, shrine maiden! The shogunate has been overthrown for hundreds of years!

"What? Is there something wrong?"

Noticing the change in the boy's expression, Yae Sakura asked in confusion.

“Miss Sakura, the changes that have taken place in the past five hundred years are probably greater than you can imagine.”

Shihen said tactfully.

"Even though the world changes, as long as demons exist, there will always be a place where I am needed."

Yae Sakura smiled freely, like a wandering knight-errant.

Do you have law enforcement authority?

Time Trace asked.

“Enforcement power…” After frowning and thinking for a while, Yae Sakura finally understood what this word meant and said, “As long as I communicate well with the local nobles, they should not make things difficult for a mere shrine maiden like me.”

She had read many such stories in books.

Do you have a knife license?

Shihen glanced at the demon sword at the shrine maiden's waist.

Carrying a controlled knife on the street will get you invited to the police station for questioning.

Well, considering the local specialties, it might also be a pork chop rice meal.

"This……"

Yae Sakura hesitated.

She had never heard of needing proof to carry a knife.

Isn't it perfectly reasonable for a shrine maiden to carry a sword?

"One last thing, do you have a household registration booklet?"

Shihen's gaze was disdainful.

This country girl is completely undocumented and penniless, even worse off than that homeless guy with the white fur ball.

Yaezakura: “…”

The changes over these five hundred years seem truly significant.

Chapter 117 The First Gathering of the Three Families

"Wow, what a bright sun! Looks like we're in luck."

Stepping onto the rooftop and feeling the warmth pouring down from the sky, Kiana couldn't help but exclaim and reveal a bright smile.

Although winters in Changkong City are bitterly cold, there are occasional sunny days like this.

Even though it's not as warm as spring or summer, it's still much better than usual, especially for those who like to have lunch on the rooftop.

"We can stay on the rooftop a little longer today."

She tucked a strand of hair that had been blown by the wind behind her ear and smiled.

"Hehe~" Kiana scratched the back of her head. "Sorry, I've dragged you guys into this."

In the depths of winter, the rooftop is certainly not a good place for lunch.

"Just like Kiana, we prefer quiet places."

Seele simply shook her head slightly at this.

Compared to other classmates who either pester them with questions or try to get their opinions and comments to agree with them, Kiana is much more comfortable to be around because of her warm and friendly nature.

“Seele is right.”

Bronya nodded in agreement, glancing at Xing beside her.

Even if Kiana is from Schicksal, she would rather stay with this white-haired idiot than deal with those classmates.

Having received the hint, Xing reluctantly spoke up: "Hmph, I think so too."

She felt that if she didn't say it, she would be beaten.

That wretched Bronya!

"I'm glad you don't mind." Knowing that the others were being considerate of her, Kiana smiled somewhat apologetically and took the initiative to spread out a picnic blanket on the ground. "Let's eat quickly, it's still quite cold on the rooftop."

After eating for free for so long, she's learned to do more things herself.

Even if it's not absolutely necessary, it at least shows her some consideration.

The girls of the Kaslana family have always been grateful for kindness.

With a slight nod, Seele and the other two stepped forward to help, and the group of girls quickly began to enjoy their lunch on the picnic blanket.

"Hmm~ Indeed, lunch tastes best when it's hot."

Kiana unconsciously showed a look of enjoyment as she snagged a piece of sushi from Seele's lunchbox.

Having gotten used to the hot lunches that Seele and the others provided, she felt that she could no longer accept cold food.

"Kiana's cookies are delicious too."

Seele also took a cookie from the white fluffy box and responded with a smile.

"I've been working part-time at a pastry shop recently."

Kiana grinned and explained.

After realizing that Seele and the others couldn't keep up with her cooking skills, the girl never cooked for herself again.

Furthermore, considering the abundance of the other party's lunch, Kiana appropriately increased her own lunch budget and, in a different way, increased the amount of snacks such as cookies.

Even if Seele and the others didn't mind the so-called lunch exchange, she felt embarrassed to keep taking advantage of them for free.

But this has put her savings in short supply.

She still needs to save up some money to go to North America.

Even though she had a very happy time during this period, Kiana did not forget that Shihen and the others would eventually have to return to North America, and she herself would not stay here forever.

One day, she will meet Shihen in North America.

I wonder if the schools there offer any discounts to foreign students.

The white fluffy ball couldn't help but let its mind wander.

Bronya's eyes lit up slightly upon hearing Kiana's words.

Could the confectionery shop be a hidden stronghold of Destiny?

We can try to test the waters.

Just as Bronya was about to speak, a series of "tap tap" footsteps suddenly sounded, and a black-haired girl wearing the uniform of Chiba Academy appeared in front of them.

"Ya, Senior Ya."

Kiana quickly swallowed the rice in her mouth and greeted them.

Without saying a word, Mei simply glanced coldly at the group, then nodded and went to the other side of the rooftop, where she opened her lunchbox and quietly began to eat.

"Kiana, who is this?"

Sensing the queen-like, oppressive aura emanating from the girl with long, straight black hair, Seele couldn't help but lower her voice slightly when asking questions.

She felt that the other person was even more terrifying than Bronya when she first arrived at the orphanage.

If Bronya was a lone wolf back then, then Mei is now a walking powder keg, radiating an icy aura that keeps strangers at bay.

Upon hearing Seele's question, Kiana first glanced cautiously at Mei, and after confirming that the other was not paying attention, she explained in a low voice: "That's Raiden Mei. She's known as the 'Queen of Thunder' at Chiba Academy. It's said that she once rejected fifteen boys' confessions in one day."

Before Seele could react, Annie couldn't help but exclaim, "Huh? Isn't Chiba Academy an all-girls school?"

Shihen used this as a legitimate reason to skip school.

Although it sounds reasonable, Anzu strongly suspects that the other party simply doesn't want to eat Kiana's cooking.

The girl still vividly remembers the sandwich that almost killed her.

"That's why she's called the 'Thunder Queen'!"

Kiana looked at him like he was an idiot.

"..."

Xing's fist hardened instantly.

She was actually mocked by an idiot!?

"Besides this, is there anything else?"

While secretly observing Mei, Bronya asked a question.

Undeniably, Raiden Mei, with her long, flowing hair, possesses truly stunning beauty.

However, to say that this alone would attract fifteen boys from other schools to block the door and confess their love in a single day would be a bit of an exaggeration.

Moreover, the other party's cold and aloof attitude didn't seem like the kind of person who could actually do this.

While some people may like an icy beauty, most would probably be intimidated by her aura and dare not approach her.

"Well, as for the rest..." Kiana frowned, racking her brains for a while before continuing, "I heard that she used to be the young lady of some ME company, but it seems that her father committed some crime and was arrested and imprisoned."

Never one to care about other people's gossip, the white-haired dumpling knew little about such matters.

Moreover, all of this happened before she came to Chiba Academy.

ME club!

Upon hearing this word, all three of them were taken aback.

They're currently affiliated with ME Company!

The fact that Mei is called the young lady of ME Company indicates that her father must have a very high status in ME Company.

In other words, this Raiden Mei is also the child of a high-ranking member of Anti-Entropy.

But... why have they never heard of each other?

Is the other party's level too high?

In an instant, Bronya had a vague feeling that she had grasped something crucial.

Could Raiden Mei, who theoretically should be as dazzling as a star but is actually completely out of their sight, be the subject of Shihen's secret investigation?

"Kiana, what else do you know about this?"

Bronya pressed for an answer.

"Hmm..." Kiana instinctively took a few steps back when stared at by the gray-haired girl with wolf-like eyes. After thinking about it seriously, she couldn't help but shake her head. "I don't know much either. I'll ask her for you when I get back to the classroom."

This was the first time she had received a request from Bronya.

I must do my best to make this girl with no money, no connections, and no job look at me with new respect.

Kiana secretly made up her mind.

"Ok."

Bronya nodded regretfully.

She has only been at Chiba Academy for a short time, so investigating certain matters is definitely not as convenient for her as for Kiana.

However, she also has some of her own methods.

Let's check back from the reverse entropy side.

The girl thought to herself.
