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

They even tried to create opportunities along the way.

Even if Shihen is very attentive to you now, you should also pay more attention to Mei. The young lady of the Raiden family is never short of charm.

Moreover, the other party's physique is a level above yours, and the difference in allegiance between Destiny and Anti-Entropy is a chasm that is difficult to cross.

If you round it up, you don't have much of an advantage anymore, yet you still dare to be so reckless?

"Ah, I want to build a snowman too!"

Kiana, rejected, fell into despair.

"If you don't mind, I have some snacks in my room. Miss Kiana can try them before we go sightseeing."

As she led the group into the house, Yae Sakura saw the white-haired ball of fur looking childlike and couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.

"dessert……"

Kiana, having caught the keyword, instantly revived, her clear blue eyes sparkling.

She's not interested in tea, but if there are snacks like cookies or potato chips... she can sit quietly for a good half day.

"Actually, Miss Rokiana doesn't like tea, but I have other drinks here too."

Yae Sakura smiled and said, her eyes filled with nostalgia.

The way her eyes light up at the mention of food is exactly like Karen's.

I must say, they're all Kaslana, aren't they?

Looking at the silly-looking white fluffy ball in front of her, the shrine maiden's heart softened even more.

"Do you have any Coke?"

Kiana asked excitedly.

She loves drinking soda.

As for their health... the Kaslana family members are practically made of iron.

"Have."

Yae Sakura nodded with a smile.

“Do you have milk tea?”

Shihen also spoke up to ask.

He had been drinking tea for several days in a row to take care of the newly arrived shrine maiden, and now it was time for him to enjoy some too.

"This...that's fine too." Yae Sakura hesitated for a moment before nodding, then looked at the girl with long, straight black hair, "What does Mei-san like to drink?"

“You…” Mei glanced at Shihen and the other two slightly, then answered calmly, “Ordinary tea will suffice.”

Enjoying the scenery and sipping tea – that's the true essence of refined pleasure.

In her eyes, Shihen and the other person's actions were the most utter heresy!

"it is good."

Yae Sakura nodded, her expression becoming more relaxed.

As a true person from the past, she agreed with Mei's opinion.

Ha, who would think of drinking cola or milk tea while enjoying the scenery?!

Heresy and evil!

The shrine maiden glanced at the composed-looking man.

Chapter 128 A Light Remains in Mei's Heart

"Green ants float in newly brewed wine, a small red clay stove glows with warmth."

The evening is approaching and snow is imminent; shall we share a cup of wine?

Sipping milk tea in the semi-open courtyard, Shihen admired the beautiful garden scenery and couldn't help but recite a poem.

"What a beautiful poem."

Yae Sakura smiled in admiration.

"I'm just using the work of a poet from a thousand years ago."

With one hand outstretched to warm the charcoal fire, Shihen shook his head and smiled.

Unfortunately, in this world, the names of the poets he knew were all written in history books; otherwise, he could have at least become a renowned plagiarist.

"That poet must have had refined tastes."

Yae Sakura nodded slightly, her smile undiminished.

"Hmm..." Kiana, the illiterate girl, scratched her head, her face full of confusion. "But here, only the shrine maiden drinks, and the fireplace is black. It's not snowing either."

Well, as the only adult present, Yae Sakura naturally chose to drink.

On a cold winter day, nothing beats a cup of hot wine.

Therefore, Mei is actually the only one who truly drinks tea.

"……Fool."

After staring at the white fluffy ball's face for a while, Mei couldn't help but mutter a curse under her breath.

Luckily, stupidity isn't contagious, otherwise she wouldn't dare sit next to the other person.

"These words actually refer to the poet's happiness in eating while warming himself by a fire in winter."

Shihen offered a helpless explanation.

"Oh, I get it." Kiana suddenly realized, grabbed a piece of pastry and popped it into her mouth, a bright smile spreading across her face. "I'm very happy now too."

To be entertained by such a beautiful shrine maiden, to see such a beautiful garden, and to be with friends—is there anything more joyful in this world?

As for Siegfried... who is that bastard who abandoned his daughter and left?

Miss Kiana didn't know the other person at all.

"I'm glad Miss Kiana is satisfied."

Smiling, Yae Sakura's eyebrows curved into a gentle arc.

"Miss Sakura, you're not a local of Changkong City, are you?"

Seeing the shrine maiden's expression, as if she was happy as long as the white fluffy ball was happy, Mei frowned slightly.

"Yes, I did arrive here not long ago."

Yae Sakura nodded slightly, but a hint of helplessness appeared in her eyes.

Actually, if we're really talking about it, she's the most authentic Changkong City native.

After all, she has lived here for five hundred years.

"I've met the priest of this shrine a few times before, and if it's someone like Miss Sakura, I'll never forget her."

With a hint of realization on her face, Mei explained softly.

Whether it's her appearance or her temperament, Yae Sakura is the kind of person who leaves a lasting impression.

"I came here to escape some things at home."

Yae Sakura also "confessed" a bit.

Although she concealed her signature fox ears, the priestess was still not suited to be too conspicuous in public.

A shrine priest in the prime of his life living a secluded life must have a reason.

"I see."

Mei instantly understood everything.

This witch must have run away from her arranged marriage.

Political marriages are common in large families, not to mention that this shrine maiden is beautiful and of just the right age.

Moreover, the other party avoided mentioning their surname throughout the entire process, which clearly indicates that they come from an extraordinary background.

Yaezakura: “…”

I have no idea what you know.

However, just as the boy predicted, she only needed to give a vague reason, and others would automatically fill in the blanks for her.

The main advantage is that it's hassle-free.

"Miss Mei's demeanor is extraordinary; she must have come from a strict family."

Gently turning the porcelain cup in her hand, Yae Sakura asked with a smile.

Compared to the casual demeanor of the others, Mei's every move exuded the elegance of a well-bred young lady.

"Me? I'm nothing more than the daughter of a sinner."

Mei merely scoffed at the question about the shrine maiden.

She will not spread the truth until she has truly reclaimed the honor that belongs to her father.

Because that's useless; it would only make her look like a fool.

"No, her father was a true hero, and now he has only been framed by villains."

Time will tell!

He firmly stated that Shihen would certainly not tolerate the Thunder Dragon Horse being misunderstood.

“Hen-kun…” Mei looked up at the boy, her expression immediately becoming complicated. After a long while, she couldn’t help but sigh deeply, “You don’t have to do this.”

Public opinion is a powerful force, and their voices will eventually be drowned out by the tide of public opinion.

Only by truly possessing the power to overthrow everything can they reclaim the glory that rightfully belongs to Raiden Ryoma.

Before that, patience and forbearance are the only things they should do.

“Miss Sakura is unaware of the facts, so we should explain them to her.” Shihen’s expression was solemn, and his calm voice seemed to contain an irresistible power. “Moreover, even in front of those who framed Mr. Raiden Ryoma, I still dare to say this!”

The truth is the truth!

Justice may be delayed, but as long as there are people who believe in it, justice will eventually prevail.

If we ourselves dare not admit this, then who can we rely on?

In the courtyard where the charcoal fire crackled, the boy's powerful words slowly drifted out, momentarily drowning out the howling wind outside.

"Classmate Hen..."

Mei was stunned when she saw the boy's serious face.

Even in the harsh winter, the girl's heart was instantly filled with warmth, as if she were in the warm sunshine of spring.

At that moment, Mei suddenly felt that no matter how difficult and tortuous the road ahead might be, it didn't matter anymore.

With the boy's words, she had the courage and strength to face any danger head-on.

"Was Mei-senpai's father framed?"

After swallowing the snack in her mouth, Kiana, belatedly realizing what was happening, couldn't help but ask a question.

“Yes.” Shihen nodded, his tone gentle yet firm. “One day, I will prove it to the world.”

This is a promise from the third leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance.

"Okay! I'll help too!"

Kiana was also encouraged by this.

Kaslana is a hero who protects the people, how could she abandon her comrades?

No matter what kind of monsters or demons the enemy is, she dares to hit them on the head with a stick.

"Kiana?" Mei looked at the spirited white fluffy ball with a somewhat surprised expression. "No, this has nothing to do with you..."

"Oh, we're friends, Mei-senpai, don't take it so seriously."

Kiana interrupted Mei's refusal by patting her on the back, speaking in an unyielding tone.
