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

Seeing the boy's flushed cheeks, Kiana laughed and said, her face full of pride.

After learning that Shihen had already entered the Honkai side of the world, she was able to show her extraordinary side without any reservations.

Moreover, she felt that if she didn't step up her game, the boy might very well be snatched away by another girl.

They've only been enrolled for less than a month, and the other person has already received more than ten love letters.

Glancing at the white fur ball that remained calm and composed, Shihen pursed his lips and sighed deeply after a long while: "This is probably talent. You can't become like Miss Kiana just by training."

Although all existing Stigmata are passed down through bloodlines, only the Kaslana family can truly achieve stable inheritance of Stigmata; even the Shaniat family falls short.

But... Parvati is known for his ice and snow abilities, so why does he only have brute force when it comes to Kaslana?

Shihen felt that Kevin should take some blame.

"Hmph, now you know how powerful I am, don't you?"

Kiana put her hands on her hips.

The Kaslana family has always been cheerful and optimistic.

"Yes, yes, Miss Kiana, you've worked hard. Here, have some water."

With a smile, Shihen handed over a bottle of chilled cola.

Even though spring hasn't really arrived yet, how can you not drink cola ice-cold?

Kiana took the drink and instinctively tried to unscrew the cap, but paused when her fingertips touched it.

Kiana shifted her gaze slightly, a troubled expression on her face, and handed the cola back to the boy: "Hen, can you help me open it? I can't open it."

Shi Hen: “…”

At this moment, he was very glad that his bottle of cola was still open, otherwise he would probably have been sprayed all over the white fluffy ball.

"Who taught you this?"

Helplessly, Shihen asked, but he obediently accepted the bottle.

"It's... oh no, it's just that I really can't open it~"

Kiana instinctively wanted to reveal the truth, but she quickly reacted and spoke in a sweet voice, while putting her hands behind her back and leaning forward slightly.

Bang!

Shihen slammed a chop to the head of the white fluffy ball: "Speak properly."

He felt goosebumps rising on his skin.

It can only be said that the Kaslana girl, who is strong enough to lift a cauldron, is not suited to acting coy or weak.

"Ugh~" Kiana cried out in pain, clutching her head with both hands. She looked utterly bewildered. "Why? Bronya and the others clearly said that if I did this..."

“Miss Kiana is already very cute on a normal day, there’s no need to change anything.” Shihen said softly, handing the cola back to the girl. “Also, I can still open a bottle of drink.”

He said he couldn't open it, but Kiana secretly twisted it before handing him the cola.

Honestly, his physique is only slightly worse than that of the Valkyries of St. Freya, not that he's actually delicate and weak.

In the real world, he could easily knock out a strongman with one punch.

Moreover, his poor physical condition was merely the first layer of his disguise.

Did Himeko and the others ever worry that he would fall behind St. Freya's progress?

"Hehe~"

Kiana smiled slightly, revealing a sliver of white teeth, attempting to get away with her cuteness.

"Oh, right, I have something else for you."

As he spoke, Shihen found the cardboard box labeled with clothing and immediately opened it to search through it.

"Huh? What is that?"

Curious, Kiana didn't dare look directly at him, only stealing glances.

After all, they were a boy's clothes, and she was afraid of seeing something she shouldn't have, which would have been too embarrassing.

So, just watch secretly.

Let her bear this pain alone.

Unfortunately, as if he had heard the girl's thoughts, Shihen quickly found what he wanted and then swiftly closed the cardboard box.

"This is it."

Shihen handed a piece of clothing carefully wrapped in plastic to the white fur ball.

"This is... a kimono from that era?"

Upon seeing what the boy was holding, Kiana was immediately surprised, and a look of undisguised joy welled up in her eyes.

Without a doubt, this was the kimono that the boy had found for him when they first met in Changkong City.

According to what the other party said at the time, it seemed that they had some friends.

"Well, back then I couldn't tell you the truth, so I could only make up an excuse." Shihen said softly, a hint of nostalgia on his face. "But now, I can finally give it to you in the truest sense."

Although I know it's a bit late to say this now, but... Happy New Year, Kiana.

With Theresa as her backer, Kiana can accept this gift without hesitation.

At this point, Kiana was already a legitimate heiress.

Of course, the boy believed that even if the gift he gave was of ordinary price, the other party would accept it with a smile.

The girls in the Kaslana family are never spoiled.

"Did you buy this dress?"

Kiana only realized this belatedly.

She was quite disappointed when she returned the clothes.

She's a girl after all, and she likes pretty clothes too; she just doesn't have the means to wear them on a regular basis.

So when she first put on such a beautiful dress, the girl felt as if she had become Cinderella in a fairy tale, able to use the power of magic to sneak into the prince's ball.

Unfortunately, just like magic has its time limit, this dress ultimately did not belong to her.

But now... feeling the plastic texture on her fingertips and looking at the vibrant colors on the kimono, Kiana seemed to feel that magical, wondrous power again.

But this time, the magic no longer has a time limit.

This is her true reality, and this dress is a gift that truly belongs to her.

Peeking at the boy in front of her, Kiana felt her whole body become light and airy, as if she were flying in the sky.

"Mm." Nodding gently, Shihen walked slowly to the window, his gaze falling on the new green shoots emerging from the withered trees by the roadside. "When spring truly arrives, let's invite Bronya and the others to go cherry blossom viewing."

After all, it is located in the Far East, and there are quite a few cherry blossoms planted in St. Freya.

"And Mei!"

Kiana immediately added.

She also remembered the promise she made at the Inari Shrine.

Although it's unlikely that we'll ever meet again, Mei is someone I can't do without no matter what.

"We can also invite Himeko-sensei and the others."

Shihen said with a smile.

"That will definitely be very lively!"

Kiana's eyes lit up instantly.

"Well, it will definitely happen."

Shihen nodded with a smile.

After all, this would be their first spring in St. Freya.

If even the beginning isn't vibrant enough, how can he add more color to the life of the white fluffy dumpling?

Chapter 166 The Day the Cherry Blossoms Bloom and the Two Leaders of the Anti-Entropy Alliance

crunch--

Opening the door, Shihen glanced at the black-haired girl lying quietly on the bed. He first opened the window to its maximum, letting the still slightly chilly fresh air flow into the room. Then he replaced the white lily in the vase on the bedside table, which was showing signs of wilting, with a pink cherry blossom.

"Mei, these are the first cherry blossoms in St. Freya this year. Spring has arrived."

With his gaze fixed on the girl's softly curved face, Shihen spoke softly.

Naturally, the boy received no response.

The damage to her consciousness caused by forcibly stripping away the Conquer Gem has left Mei unable to awaken to this day.

Even with St. Freya's advanced technology, there was nothing she could do about this injury.

Although Destiny has its share of advanced technologies like consciousness mapping, Mei is not trapped in her own mental labyrinth; she is simply too weak.

Given the girl's condition, St. Freya could only hope that time would heal her.

Not expecting a reply from Mei, Shihen simply pulled up a chair, sat down by the bed, and picked up a philosophy book he had brought with him to gently read through.

He just came here to find some peace and quiet.

As for why only the boy was there, it was naturally because he skipped class.

According to the timetable, his class should be having a history class at this time, and the course should be on modern history.

As for St. Freya's history class... although it is located in the Far East, the history course of this academy does not include national history, but directly analyzes the process of civilization from a global perspective and explores the relationship between humanity and the Honkai.

The Destiny Organization is above all nations, and Far Eastern law has no jurisdiction over St. Freya Academy.

It could even be said that the entire artificial island and the surrounding waters could be considered Theresa's private land. Even the Far Eastern Prime Minister would have to submit an application to come and visit, and then see if Theresa was in the mood to reply.

So, strictly speaking, St. Freya's history lessons are actually the history of the founding of the Destiny organization, with most of the content describing how the Destiny Church gradually developed and grew stronger.

While subtly belittling other countries and organizations, they simultaneously glorify themselves—this is the current state of St. Freya's history lessons.

Among these, reverse entropy is naturally the one that has been most unfairly maligned, with almost every serious incident that has occurred since 1955 being attributed to reverse entropy.

As a staunch believer in the spirit of Walter, the boy naturally could not accept such slander.

Therefore, he skipped class.

Ding-dong-

It was the boy's cell phone that had been lying to the side that rang.

Upon unlocking, a message from Kiana was revealed.

[Where are you now, Hen? Teacher Joachim is calling your name / Tap him]

Seele and Bronya are worried about you too.

After all, there are only about thirty students in a class, so it's easy to tell who skipped class and ran away.

The Joachim mentioned by the girl was one of St. Freya's history teachers, and it is said that he was a history professor at Harvard University before being hired by Theresa.

With the support of the Destiny Organization's influence and substantial financial resources, St. Freya's cultural teachers are generally professors or associate professors, aiming for university standards.

Even at St. Freya, the knowledge taught by these teachers was only at the junior high or high school level.

What stands out is their inhuman extravagance.

Looking at the several questions on the screen, Shihen thought for a moment, then replied: 【Just say I've lost my way in life / Helpless】

Kiana: /doubt /doubt /doubt

Looking at the question mark emoticon on the screen, Shihen couldn't help but smile.

Even through the internet, he could imagine the white fluffy ball looking completely bewildered.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Shihen immediately added, "I'm skipping class. I don't want to go."

When talking to a fluffy white ball of fur, you have to be simple and straightforward, otherwise it won't understand.

Kiana: /Surprised
