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

Anyway, they can't possibly finish that much food themselves.

Although Shihen had been away from Changkong City for several days, no one dared to reduce the portion size of the bento boxes he ordered.

That's the weight of a colonel's words.

Theoretically speaking, the other side even has the right to urgently mobilize all the mechs around Changkong City.

"You guys..."

Mei's eyelids twitched immediately.

Do first graders these days have absolutely no respect for their seniors?

"Oh, Mei-senpai, don't be shy."

Kiana patted Mei on the shoulder and laughed loudly, exuding an air of idiocy.

Meiyi: "..."

What should she do? She really wanted to grab a knife and kill someone.

Just then, Bronya had a sudden thought and couldn't help but raise her head and look around.

"Sister Bronya?"

Noticing the gray-haired girl's unusual behavior, Seele asked with concern.

"It seems like someone is spying on us?"

Bronya's tone was hesitant.

Just now, she felt a gaze coming from somewhere in the void.

But upon closer inspection, it seems that there is nothing around, as if it was just an illusion.

"Huh? That can't be right. This is already the highest point in Chiba Academy!"

Still puzzled, Kiana ran to the edge of the railing and began to scan the area.

"Look over there!" Seele ran to a corner of the rooftop as well, quickly noticing something unusual. "There...were there cherry blossoms there before?"

Following the blue-haired girl's finger, everyone saw that in the barren forest where there hadn't been a single leaf before, a cherry blossom tree had quietly bloomed.

The vast expanse of cherry blossom pink, like clouds and rosy hues, was already incredibly beautiful, but now, against the backdrop of the surrounding bare trees, it stood out even more, becoming exceptionally eye-catching.

It was as if... a harbinger of some kind of storm.

Chapter 119 Let's Get a Part-Time Job, Shrine Maiden

"Were those girls your friends, Lord Hen?"

In a corner of Chiba Academy, Yae Sakura asked a boy who had changed into a white-haired, white-masked outfit.

"Yes, they are all my very good friends."

Shihen smiled and nodded.

In the future, they will go through countless hardships and overcome countless obstacles together.

In the end, he will become the greatest tribulation and obstacle for the girls.

And it can never be surpassed.

"Aren't you going to say hello to them?"

Yae Sakura asked kindly.

She completely believed the boy's words.

Although the other party's current disguise is indeed quite suspicious, and he doesn't look like a decent person at all.

"Let's get you settled first."

Shihen shook his head and led the priestess swiftly through the buildings.

What can Walter White do when he appears in front of the girls?

Steal their lunch, then make them suffer a humiliating defeat?

As the leader of the anti-entropy alliance, you need to have a long-term vision and not always argue with these little girls.

And is the food Mei makes still edible?

We should at least wait until the other party becomes the Herrscher of Food.

Shihen has no masochistic tendencies.

Ah, the food made by Raiden Ryoma is still the best.

The first day I missed Lei Dianqing.

"I would also like to get to know Mr. Hen's friends."

Following closely in the boy's footsteps, Yae Sakura spoke softly, a gentle smile on her face.

The boy is her friend, so of course his friend will also be her friend.

Having decided to start a new life in this era, she naturally hopes to meet more people.

"..."

Looking at the priestess, Shihen paused slightly.

Is this an attempt to expose his true identity?

I went through so much trouble to pull you out of this nightmare cycle, and this is how you repay me?

"I'll introduce you two when the opportunity arises."

Shihen gave a perfunctory reply and continued to lead the fox-eared priestess away from the crowd.

"I'll be looking forward to that day."

Yae Sakura's smile was gentle.

Without another word, the two quickened their pace in silence.

Despite the requirement to conceal their whereabouts, the two were not slow at all, and their speed was no less than that of a fast-moving car.

After all, even without the power gained from coexisting with the Herrscher of Corruption, Yae Sakura is still a Stigmata Awakener, and her strength should not be underestimated.

As for Shihen himself, there's even less to say.

So it didn't take long for the two of them to reach their destination—an Inari shrine not too far from Chiba Academy.

"arrive."

Avoiding the bustling crowds of the Shen Community area, Shihen slowed his pace as he followed a small path into the back courtyard.

"Is this also a stronghold of Destiny?"

Looking around the shrine with curiosity, Yae Sakura asked.

"No, this is my base."

Turning to look at the priestess, the mask covering Shihen's face quickly disappeared, revealing a handsome young man with a smile.

Having decided to try and win over Yae Sakura, he naturally made thorough preparations.

For example, buying a shrine.

"...Aren't you, like Kallen, a knight of destiny?"

Yae Sakura was taken aback.

"That was a lie."

Shihen shrugged and chose to be honest.

"..."

Yae Sakura's pupils dilated instantly.

She deeply felt the malice of this world.

"Let me formally introduce myself. My name is Shihen, an elite officer of the Shadow Organization World Serpent, the leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance, the mortal enemy of Destiny, and also... the future leader of the Church of Destiny."

He spoke softly, a smile appearing on his face.

Now that we've seen the picture, it's time to let the shrine maiden see his dagger.

"Wait, isn't Lord Hen a knight of the Church of Destiny?"

Yae Sakura immediately clutched her forehead, as if she had fallen into some kind of mental breakdown.

This young man seems to have quite a few titles.

Moreover, he doesn't sound like a good person.

"Of course not." Shihen shook his head with a smile. "I haven't had a chance to join the Church of Destiny yet."

He's still looking for a reason to switch jobs.

"Lord Hen, are you an enemy of the Church of Destiny?"

Yae Sakura gradually grasped the key.

"No, the Church of Destiny and I have never been enemies. They just haven't pledged their loyalty to me yet."

Shihen said casually.

Once he has seen Bishop Otto off on his journey, he will be able to guide the Destiny organization onto the right path.

"..."

Yae Sakura's eyelids twitched involuntarily.

She sensed that the boy's thoughts seemed somewhat dangerous.

“Oh, by the way, Miss Sakura, as a friend, I should remind you of something,” Shihen said kindly. “Although I am not an enemy of Destiny, you are indeed a mortal enemy of the Church.”

Yae Sakura's expression changed slightly: "How could this be? Kallen and I..."

"It's all because of the Holy Maiden," Shihen interrupted with a smile. "Coincidentally, the current leader of the Church of Destiny is the Holy Maiden's former fiancé."

Unfortunately, he seems to have a slight misunderstanding about your relationship with the Holy Maiden.

Or perhaps, this cannot actually be called a misunderstanding.

Glancing at the shrine maiden's pitiful yet alluring face, Shihen had no doubt that Karen might have some impure thoughts.

Kaslana is a bunch of people who are obsessed with looks.

"Humans can live for five hundred years? What about Karen?"

Completely missing the point in the boy's words, a glimmer of hope rose in Yae Sakura's eyes.

"It is regrettable that the Holy Maiden did indeed sacrifice herself five hundred years ago."

Shihen shook his head.

"Karen..."

Yae Sakura was speechless for a moment.

Although she had been mentally prepared for this, when she actually confirmed it from the boy's mouth, boundless grief instantly filled the priestess's chest.

Looking at the fox-eared girl who was completely immersed in grief and unable to extricate herself, Shihen couldn't help but shake his head inwardly.

Birth, aging, illness, and death are the natural course of human life.

But it is precisely because of these shortcomings that human emotions are all the more precious.

With a sigh, Shihen went into the inner room and took out a tea set, then slowly brewed tea on the stone table next to him.

The shrine, along with the nearby hills, had long since taken the shape of a boy, so he naturally knew what was inside.

The water boils, the tea is ready, and a fragrant aroma fills the air.

"I apologize, Your Excellency Hen, I lost my composure."

Sitting down at the stone table, Yae Sakura wiped her eyes, her voice still slightly choked with emotion.

"It's alright, we still have plenty of time."
