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

Bronya and the others had never tried paper cutting before, but they're having a lot of fun, aren't they?

Judging from the messages they posted in the chat group, the two kids really enjoy paper cutting.

"That's true~"

Kiana nodded as if she suddenly understood.

Before long, the short tree-lined path came to an end.

"Oh, right! Hen..." Kiana suddenly turned around and saw Mei's flushed face under the streetlight. Her eyes showed a hint of doubt. "Mei, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

"No, it's nothing. It's just that I'm wearing a bit too many clothes and it's a little too hot."

Mei pulled down the collar of her winter coat and explained in a low voice.

"Is that right?"

Kiana scrutinized Mei carefully and asked, somewhat puzzled.

She sensed that the other person wasn't dressed very warmly.

"Perhaps it's the aftereffects of the food I just cooked that's kicking in."

"Besides, everyone's perception of temperature is different." Shihen tried to find an excuse for Mei. "Kiana, what were you trying to ask just now?"

"Hmm..." Kiana's eyes flickered, and she then stuck out her tongue lightly, saying, "I forgot!"

Anyway, let's go find Bronya and the others first, otherwise the paper-cutting activity will be over by then.

As she spoke, the girl ran into the teaching building first, leaving a trail of silvery laughter along the way.

Watching the white fluffy ball's hurried back, Shihen looked at Mei.

If the other party doesn't stop at the last minute, he'll probably have to find other reasons to ask Kiana for.

Avoiding the boy's gaze and not daring to meet his eyes, Mei whispered, "I... let's hurry over too, otherwise Kiana will get lost again."

As she spoke, a sense of melancholy rose in the girl's heart.

During that not-so-short period of time, the other person never took her hand.

"Kiana is always like this, she tends to run off on her own."

With a smile, Shihen reached out and shook Mei's hand, giving the girl an encouraging look.

Having experienced a series of setbacks, Kiana has worked much harder than before, and her diligence in training is even among the best.

He hoped Mei could do the same.

"……Um."

Startled by the words, Mei nodded gently after a long pause, letting out a soft, almost inaudible response.

"..."

Looking at the girl's face, which was completely flushed red like a sunset, Shihen inexplicably felt that she seemed to have misunderstood something.

Chapter 261 Two Little Ones and a Triangle

When Shi Hen and his group arrived at the paper-cutting activity room, the event was already nearing its end.

Thanks to the help of a certain white fluffy creature, they spent much more time cooking than expected.

By this time, there were not many people left in the classroom, but several tables were filled with various paper-cutting works for display.

Among them are simple animal designs such as rabbits and birds, as well as exquisite paper-cut window decorations that are so intricate that they are difficult to describe in words.

"Captain Hen, look!"

Upon seeing the three, Seele immediately showed them the blue butterfly in her hand.

"Wow! So cute!"

Looking at the intricately patterned butterfly in the girl's hand, Kiana made no attempt to hide her surprise and admiration.

"Bronya helped me a lot too."

Seele gave a slightly shy smile.

“This is Bronya’s.”

While speaking expressionlessly, Bronya handed a yellow paper homu to the boy, her gaze lingering on Mei, whose face still bore a slight blush, and Kiana, who remained carefree.

Judging from her extensive theoretical knowledge, something must have happened between Mei and Shihen before.

So... Kiana, what are you doing?! Are you trying to become some white-haired female passerby?!

Looking at the white fluffy ball still clutching a paper butterfly and admiring it, Bronya let out a silent cry from the bottom of her heart.

"What an adorable hom! Bronya is really skillful."

Admiring the lifelike Houmu, Shihen nodded slightly.

Compared to Seele, who occasionally shows her clumsy side, Bronya is indeed a genius in every sense.

Even in small things like paper cutting, the girl can show extraordinary talent.

As he was thinking, Shihen glanced at a red butterfly next to Xier that was only roughly cut out.

Even a small activity like paper cutting is shared with another version of herself; she truly is a little angel.

"Hen, Kiana, let's give it a try too."

Mei smiled and handed out several sheets of different colored cardstock to the two of them.

“Bronya can teach you.”

Before Mei could call for a student skilled in this area to guide her, Bronya immediately spoke up.

"Little one, are you really sure you can do it?"

Kiana looked the girl up and down, a hint of suspicion in her eyes.

While that Houmu was indeed quite beautiful, it still paled in comparison to the exquisite paper-cut window decorations displayed on the other side.

Moreover, if Bronya were to teach her, wouldn't it make the little one seem much better than her?

How could she then display her skills and amaze and admire the young man?

Bronya: "..."

Why do you think Bronya took on this task?

If other students were to teach a few people paper cutting, the boy would definitely be taken advantage of in this way or that.

Only by taking control of the situation can she create opportunities for you!

Seele keenly sensed the girl's complaint from Bronya's almost expressionless face and quickly explained, "Bronya is already very good at paper cutting. That senior even asked Bronya if she wanted to be an instructor in the next activity."

"Then we'll have to ask Bronya to teach us paper cutting."

Mei nodded in agreement first, her bright smile full of encouragement and support for Bronya.

For her, it doesn't matter what activities she participates in, nor does she care whether she can learn anything from them.

Most importantly, it's the people who do this with her.

Mei glanced at the boy beside her, and her smile softened even more.

"Bronya will definitely do a good job."

Bronya nodded slightly and said this, while secretly considering the feasibility of supporting Mei.

Compared to that loud, fuzzy white ball of fur who never seems to know what she's doing, isn't the gentle and lovely Miss Mei much better?

Bronya believed that if Mei had even a 50% chance of winning over that white-haired idiot, she would have already won the boy over.

The difference is just too big.

"What does Ms. Bronya want to teach us first?"

Shihen asked with a smile.

“Bronya… teacher…”

In an instant, Bronya felt dizzy as if she had drunk honey.

While the boy was busy with his affairs, she tutored Kiana several times, but Kiana still called her "little one" from time to time.

"Let's cut a cat's hair first, little one, can you do it?"

Kiana asked in a skeptical tone.

She didn't see cats in Bronya and Seele's paper-cutting works.

“…” Bronya took a deep look at the white fluffy ball, pursed her lips, and said, “Let’s try cutting a puppy first.”

Kiana: “???”

Hmph! I told you this little one couldn't be trusted, right? She just had to go against me!

"First do this... then that... then do this..."

Ignoring the white fluffy ball's resentful gaze, Bronya neatly folded the cardstock in half and slowly slid the scissors across the paper.

In just a few moments, a simply designed puppy appeared in the girl's hands as if by magic.

"I see."

Nodding knowingly, Mei swiftly drew her knife, and a more complex and exquisite puppy quickly appeared.

“It’s not difficult indeed.”

With a slight nod, Shihen also took action, and a kitten appeared in his hand.

Kiana: "Hmm..."

Although her brain was telling her that she had learned it, her hands clearly didn't think so.

"Bronya, slow down! Who can learn this at such a fast pace?"

Kiana grumbled in dissatisfaction.

In response, Bronya simply pointed silently to the kitten and puppy in Shihen and Mei's hands.

Two out of the three people taught her, so it's definitely not her fault.

"Kiana, you've made a mistake. You need to do it like this first..."

Mei couldn't help but smile slightly as she took the initiative to correct Kiana's mistake.

"Before you start cutting, you can first visualize the general shape of what you want to cut out, and then apply the geometry knowledge you've learned..."

Time marks were also added.

With the help of the two, Kiana gradually found the knack for paper cutting, and a kitten took shape under her hands.

Watching the three of them work together to cut out more patterns, Seele couldn't help but smile gently. She leaned closer to Bronya and whispered, "Bronya, it seems like Captain Hen and the others don't need our intervention..."

Bronya: "Hmm..."

While this scene is not bad, when it comes to making a choice, will that white fluffy ball have a chance of winning?

But looking at it from another perspective, making Mei sad isn't necessarily a good thing.

So, is this current relationship actually the most suitable?

A sense of bewilderment flashed through the girl's mind.

Unable to guess what kind of brainstorming the two little ones were going through, Shihen and the others cut out a few suitable patterns to complete their homework, and then left with the exquisite paper-cut window decorations that came with the event.

In the already decorated St. Freya Dining Hall, a New Year's Eve dinner for everyone is about to begin.

Chapter 262 The Raven's New Year Shock

St. Freya's Dining Hall.

Although it is given the rather ordinary name of a dining hall, its actual layout is more similar to that of a castle hall.

After all, in essence, the entire St. Freya Academy is a fairytale castle that Otto gave to Theresa.

Meanwhile, the spacious dining hall was brightly decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations in the style of China.

On the other hand, the neatly arranged long dining tables, piled high with food, exuded a strong Western banquet atmosphere.
