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

Shihen reminded him with a smile.

Since all the kites are gone, there's no need to keep the last one.

"Oh right~" Kiana slapped her forehead and immediately ran back to the picnic mat to take out the last phoenix-shaped kite, blinking at Himeko as she asked, "Aunt Himeko, do you want to play with this?"

If I say I want to play, will you let me?

Seeing the girl carefully protecting the kite behind her back, as if afraid that someone would snatch it away, Himeko's eyelids couldn't help but twitch.

"Take it and play with it!"

With a dismissive wave of her hand, Himeko was too lazy to correct the other person's form of address.

Anyway, she didn't pay for these kites.

"Thank you, Aunt Himeko!" Kiana smiled and ran with the kite before solemnly handing it to the boy. "Hen, you can fly this last one."

Since she destroyed the boy's robot, she might as well return the favor with a kite.

Although it seems that the boy prepared all of these kites by himself.

"Ok."

With a slight shift in his gaze, noticing the stares of the people around him, Shi Hen nodded and did not refuse the girl's suggestion.

As the kite string loosened slightly, Shihen ran quickly with it, and a fiery red phoenix slowly rose into the air, its long tail feathers trailing down in a magnificent display, as if a real phoenix were soaring and dancing in the sky.

"Finally, let Miss Kiana grant him his freedom."

Once the kite's flight had stabilized, Shihen spoke to the white-furred ball of fur, whose eyes were filled with anticipation.

As Kiana's best friend, he certainly wouldn't overlook the girl's little mood.

"Hehe~ Then this young lady won't be polite!"

Upon hearing this, Kiana's eyes, which had previously been somewhat dim, quickly brightened.

Without taking the axle wheel, the girl gently pulled on the silk thread, and the phoenix in the sky was immediately freed from its restraints and flew higher and higher, disappearing into the thin white clouds in an instant.

"What a free bird..."

After gazing at the sky for a long time, Shihen sighed.

Himeko, who happened to be walking by, heard this and couldn't help but roll her eyes at the boy, saying, "Saint Freya isn't going to take the blame for this."

If you desire freedom, the gates of St. Freya have never stopped you.

Although St. Freya Academy is positioned as a military fortress within Schicksal, Theresa still strives to simplify the entry and exit procedures for the students living there.

As long as you submit a written application, you can freely enter and leave St. Freya during holidays.

Of course, your personal belongings will need to go through a security check.

St. Freya was, after all, a strategically important military location.

Even for defectors like Shihen, she and Theresa never made things difficult for each other with entry and exit procedures.

On the contrary, it was the teenager who was trapped by his own beliefs and never submitted an application.

"Mei just woke up too, why don't you two go for a walk outside the island and enjoy the scenery?"

Theresa also suggested, her gaze fixed on the violet kimono on the white fluffy ball.

Even though she's a bit dim-witted, she's still her niece, and she can't let someone else kidnap her so easily!

"Yay! I want to go! I want to go!"

Kiana was the first to raise her hand and jump up.

"..."

He touched his chin gently, still looking hesitant.

Bearing the stigma of being a defector, he had to consider whether this was a test by Theresa and others.

"Hen, let's go together. I happen to have a lot of things I want to buy."

Mei smoothed a few strands of hair that had fallen beside her temples and spoke up to persuade her.

Although Himeko provided accommodation, so there was no need to worry, all her personal belongings were still at her home in Changkong City.

"it is good."

With such a legitimate reason, Shihen finally nodded slowly.

Chapter 171 The Confident and Clever White Fluffy Child

Not far from the gates of St. Freya lies a cross-sea bridge stretching for tens of miles, beyond which lies a port city with a population of approximately 500,000.

St. Freya is, after all, a military fortress. Even though Theresa has been trying to downplay this impression in the minds of the students, it still contains many research facilities related to Honkai energy.

If it is too close to an ordinary city, it will only be a threat to both sides.

Driving an SUV generously sponsored by the academy's poor but wealthy principal, Shihen drove the group at full throttle, quickly crossing the bridge and entering the city before slowing down slightly.

The entire cross-sea bridge is the private property of St. Freya, and there are not many vehicles passing through it on ordinary days, so no one cares how you drive.

But once you enter a city, it falls under the jurisdiction of the Far East government, so you have to give them some face.

The boy doesn't have a driver's license yet. If he gets caught by the traffic police, the only thing they can do is call Sister Himeko to come and bail him out.

Perhaps, traffic police are the inescapable nemesis of the Walter lineage.

With a deep sigh, Shihen drove into a parking lot of a commercial center. His reverse parking maneuver was incredibly smooth, as if he had practiced for two and a half years.

Kiana jumped out of the passenger seat, her face full of surprise: "I didn't expect your driving skills to be so good!"

"I can even pilot a floating warship like the Hyperion."

Shihen waved his hand, his expression one of utter nonchalance.

With the cheat code at his disposal, he can indeed drive a manually operated airship.

"Really?"

Kiana's jaw was practically agape.

"I never expected that Shihen would have such talent."

Pushing up her red-rimmed glasses, Fu Hua also offered a timely exclamation of admiration.

Well, although Theresa and Himeko didn't come, they pushed Fu Hua forward, ostensibly to let the young people interact more, completely ignoring the fact that a certain immortal might be older than all of St. Freya's members combined.

"..."

As Mei got out of the back seat, she glanced at the passenger seat with some concern.

She felt that she needed to change some of her habits.

"Let's browse around here. What should we buy first?"

Shihen looked at Mei and asked.

On the surface, their main reason for leaving the island this time was still to buy things for Mei.

"Let's go buy some clothes first."

Mei glanced down at her Chiba Academy uniform and gave her answer without much thought.

Now, she has far fewer clothes in her wardrobe.

"Great! I'll help pick some out too!"

Before Shihen could even speak, Kiana jumped up excitedly, her gaze sweeping over Mei and the boy beside her, her eyes instantly lighting up.

She loves watching other people change clothes... no, I mean helping other people change... no, anyway, Shihen is good-looking and has a good figure, and she hopes to see more different sides of him.

Of course, Mei is also very pretty, so this is double the joy!

Just thinking about that scene made the white fluffy ball feel a surge of heat rising from the soles of its feet.

"..."

Seeing this, Bronya and Seele exchanged helpless glances.

This white-haired idiot, can't he be a little more reserved?

Shihen simply smiled and said, "Let's go."

He also quite enjoys seeing cute girls changing clothes.

Besides, a white fluffy ball is still a white fluffy ball.

Thinking this to himself, Shihen took the lead and led the way, and then...

In the bustling shopping mall passageway, looking at the only white-haired creature left beside him, Shihen deeply realized the twisted mindset of Seele and Bronya.

Not long ago, Bronya pushed Mei away while saying she wanted to buy some girly items, and Seele also forcibly took Fu Hua away under the pretext of helping her change her look.

Furthermore, both of them stopped the white-furred ball of fur from following them, on the grounds that they couldn't leave the boy alone.

Shihen could hear this calculation clearly even from a great distance.

But since men and women are different, and Bronya had given such an excuse, the boy naturally couldn't go with her.

"Haha, speaking of which, it's been a long time since we've had this much alone time..."

With a slight smile, Kiana glanced around, her voice betraying a hint of nervousness.

This wasn't St. Freya, and there were no Valkyries casting glances our way from time to time.

On the contrary, she didn't know any of the people coming and going, and they certainly didn't know them either.

In other words, she and the boy were on a date...

"Didn't we have tutoring together last night?"

Shihen rolled his eyes at Kiana, feeling that this white fluffy girl was indeed not very bright.

"Ah, ah...yes..."

Kiana's lingering emotions vanished instantly, and her face flushed red.

In the monthly assessments that St. Freya conducted at the beginning of each month, she achieved excellent results, failing every subject, which infuriated Theresa and Himeko.

It's worth noting that even the youngest student, Seele, only failed half of her subjects, and her scores in the remaining subjects were far better than Seele's.

As a result, a period of tutoring time with the boy was added to her daily routine.

In terms of overall grades, Shihen was among the top three in the class, even though he had submitted a mostly blank history paper.

Even though Kiana has never cared much about her grades, she still feels embarrassed when someone directly points it out.

"Don't worry about what others think. Just be yourself." Seeing the girl's shame, Shihen gently patted her head and said with a smile, "Because I know that Kiana, you've already tried your best."

It's just that you wasted too much time in the past, which caused your foundation to fall behind.

If this little white fluffy ball of a child had time to focus on his studies, he wouldn't be an outstanding student, but he certainly wouldn't excel in every subject.

Even though Shihen has been paying attention to guiding her studies, so far he has only managed to get the girl's grades in all subjects to break into single digits.

Learning the basics requires taking it one step at a time; it cannot be accomplished overnight.

Unless you're cheating.

Unfortunately, even Shihen himself couldn't use this kind of cheat.

[Gandalf] can only know what happened, but not why it happened.

"Hehe~"

Hearing the boy's words and feeling the warmth emanating from his hand, Kiana couldn't help but laugh.

Although she can't compare to someone like Shihen who's always running to the library, she has indeed worked much harder than she used to.

If you round it up, she can be considered quite diligent.

The girl was always good at comforting herself in this regard.

"Would you like to get something to eat?"

Looking at the food area that had come into view not far away, Shihen asked with a smile.

When taking a fluffy little girl out to play, you definitely have to satisfy her stomach first.
