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

Chapter 161 The White-Haired Dumpling Doesn't Want 3 [P]

The destination of this spring outing was next to a high-altitude lake.

Nestled among a cluster of towering mountains, their peaks still capped with white snow, lies a clear blue lake, smooth as a mirror.

Wow! It's so beautiful, it's like a fairyland!

Seeing the reflection of the lake surface, almost indistinguishable from the mountains on both sides, Kiana couldn't help but exclaim in amazement. She immediately kicked off her shoes and socks, stepped onto the pebbles, and waded into the lake. Her expression twitched instantly, "Hiss~ It's so cold..."

"It's still spring."

Watching the girl's expression twitch slightly while she kept splashing water in the lake, Shihen couldn't help but shake his head.

Located amidst mountains, and with it being early spring, the lake's water temperature is naturally extremely low.

Despite this, Shihen did not say anything to dampen the white fur ball's current interest.

If this Herrscher of Flame were to go all out, this lake would probably evaporate completely in an instant.

Therefore, the "coldness" the other party mentioned was really just talk.

"This child..."

Seeing Kiana having so much fun, Theresa couldn't help but sigh helplessly.

Although she was already used to her silly niece's behavior, after hearing Raven's plan, she still felt a sense of regret that the child was far from mature.

"Alright, stop sighing all the time. Young people should act like young people. Besides..."

Taking the opportunity, Himeko ruffled the nun's hair and gestured towards the boy with a gentle smile.

No matter how childish Kiana may seem, as long as the boy still finds her adorable, Kiana has no reason to change.

"Get your paws off me, hey!"

Without any intention of arguing with Himeko properly, Theresa slapped Himeko's hand away, her expression suddenly turning ashamed and indignant, her large, bright eyes glaring fiercely at the red-haired Valkyrie in front of her.

She strongly suspected that the reason she wasn't growing taller was because of this guy who would always take advantage of the situation to touch her head.

"Hmmmm~"

Himeko simply shrugged and smiled helplessly at the headmaster's reprimand.

Unaware of what the adult group was planning, Shihen glanced around before his gaze fell on the little angel, and he said, "Xier, just like I told you before, can you do it?"

"Xier will try her best."

Meeting the boy's smiling gaze, Seele nodded and stretched out one hand. A cluster of new shoots immediately spread out with the faint light and quickly grew into the shape of a wooden boat by the lake.

Dang Dang!

Reaching out and tapping on the wooden boat, Shihen couldn't help but smile with satisfaction: "Not bad, the level of completion is quite high."

As he spoke, Shihen gave the girl an approving look.

As long as she continues to develop, Seele will one day be able to build thousands of wooden houses with a simple clap of her hands, becoming the Herrscher with the strongest infrastructure capabilities on Earth.

Therefore, Herrschers are the primary productive force in this world!

"Hehe~ I just tried it out according to Captain Hen's requirements."

Hearing the boy's praise, Seele couldn't help but scratch her head and laugh, her delicate little face filled with shyness.

"Is it a boat?"

Noticing the change in the boy, Theresa's eyes lit up. "Yay! Bronya, let's go boating together!"

If she could share a small boat with Bronya, she could escape this extremely unfriendly world for a while.

Bronya refused.

But when faced with the headmaster's hopeful and pleading gaze, Bronya shook her head without hesitation. "Bronya wants to fish on the shore."

While boating is fun, she could play games at the same time if she fished on the shore.

Upon hearing Bronya's words, Theresa instantly turned ashen.

If Bronya doesn't share the burden, wouldn't she have to stay with this bomb girl forever?

Theresa glanced at the sin on the chest of the red-haired Valkyrie beside her, and suddenly everything went black.

"..."

Meanwhile, the raven, who was also witnessing this scene, couldn't stop its eyelids from twitching and began to question the meaning of life.

This ability to create things out of thin air seems a little frightening...

But why does everyone seem so nonchalant and unsurprised?

Has the current version evolved into this form?

Raven's mind was in complete disarray, and he still couldn't guess the correct answer.

Or rather, she subconsciously deleted the correct answer from her mind.

After all, for the mercenary queen whose knowledge largely comes from World Serpent, the idea that "the Herrscher is right beside me" is truly terrifying.

Meanwhile, Peggy had no time to appease the raven; the moment the wooden boat took shape, her gaze was fixed on the boy.

Peggy clenched her fist, then, thinking of the raven beside her, and feeling she had gained a tremendous advantage, she stepped forward and mustered her courage to say, "Scar, let's go together..."

Before she could finish speaking, Peggy saw a figure flash before her eyes, and the boy was pulled onto the small boat by a white fluffy ball. Only a splash of water soaked the high-heeled sandals on her feet.

"!!!"

Watching the wooden boat disappear into the distance accompanied by the girl's silvery laughter, Peggy felt a surge of anger towards the cow.

Damn it, Natasha's already here, shouldn't this be her show now?!

Wendy, too, watched helplessly as the wooden boat swiftly disappeared into the distance, leaving only ripples on the lake's surface. Her face showed a similar resentment and anger as Peggy's, while Anna's eyes held only deep bewilderment and disappointment.

"..."

Fu Hua glanced discreetly at the group of people on the shore, each with their own distinct mood, and silently rummaged through the pile of luggage to find a fishing rod and a stool.

Having deliberately found a spot away from the crowds and noise, Fu Hua's tense expression finally relaxed a bit. He then cast his fishing line far into the lake and began his day of fishing.

Unaware of the consequences of her actions, Kiana simply lay on her side on the edge of the small boat, gently splashing the lake water with her hand while occasionally glancing at the boy beside her with a silly, dazed smile on her face.

"What's wrong? Why are you laughing so happily?"

Turning his gaze away from the shore, Shihen glanced at the white fur ball and asked.

"Nothing, I just suddenly felt very happy."

Kiana's tongue lolled out slightly as she spoke, her tone unconsciously softening, "Like this, it feels like the whole world has turned into just the two of us."

As she stirred the surface of the lake with her fingers, creating ripples, she watched as the sky below seemed to shatter and reform. A childlike, sincere smile appeared on the girl's lips.

Anna was left on the shore, and the others were nowhere to be seen. Their small boat was the only one in the lake, which stretched for hundreds of meters...

Thinking of this, Kiana's heart couldn't help but beat faster, and her fair and flawless face blushed slightly.

"But if it were Kiana, she would probably feel lonely very quickly, right?"

He picked up a tuft of the girl's white hair with his fingers, rubbed and played with it, feeling its smooth texture that was even more delicate than silk. A smile naturally appeared on Shihen's lips.

No matter the time, this white fluffy ball of fur always loves excitement.

No, not at all!

Without hesitation, Kiana looked up into the boy's dark eyes and answered, "If I'm with Hen, I'll never be lonely."

As she spoke softly, the girl's blue eyes, clearer than the sky, blinked slightly, and a star-like brilliance shimmered in her deep pupils.

"..."

Meeting the girl's incredibly soft gaze, Shihen couldn't help but be slightly taken aback, then shook his head and chuckled softly, "Forever is a very long time."

One hundred years, one thousand years, ten thousand years… as the scale of time continues to lengthen, everything will appear incredibly insignificant.

"Ok??"

A moment of confusion flashed in Kiana's eyes, but she quickly regained her composure and smiled again. "As long as Hen is by my side, even if we don't do anything, I will be very happy."

Besides, don't we have plenty of other things to do?

Unable to comprehend the seemingly endless time the boy spoke of, Kiana only trusted her immediate, intuitive feelings.

Not only is he an excellent cook who can make all kinds of delicious food, but he is also gentle and considerate and can take care of her various emotions. Although he may seem a little slow at times... But no matter what, she firmly believes that she can stay with the boy forever.

Thinking to herself, and looking at the boy's face, which appeared even more handsome in the sunlight, Kiana couldn't help but unconsciously lick her lips.

Theresa was constantly accusing her of taking advantage of the young man, which infuriated her.

"Yes, Kiana, you're right. There are still many things we can do together."

He patted the girl's head and said with a slight smile, "Of course, that includes Mei's 'together'."

As an excellent team leader, he naturally cannot abandon any of his teammates.

"Together?"

Upon hearing the boy's words, Kiana was stunned, her neck and forehead turning completely red. "I...do we really have to go together?"

Three people? That sounds a bit too exciting, doesn't it?

She only has theoretical knowledge of both of them!

"Of course, we used to be like this, didn't we?"

Shihen couldn't help but look at the white fluffy ball with a puzzled expression.

Mei has only been gone a short time, and you've already forgotten about her? Your level of awareness is rather low.

"The past is the past, the present is the present, it's obviously different..."

Kiana tried to explain.

We used to just live together, but now...

Even if it's just a slight concession, letting Mei go first, she doesn't want to do that kind of thing with other people again!

Just imagining herself and the boy being watched by Mei made Kiana feel like her sense of shame was about to explode.

"What's different?"

Shihen immediately pressed for an answer.

Even though Wendy and Anna have joined the team now, Mei is still an indispensable member and cannot be abandoned.

He had to make this white fluffy thing understand that.

"Well……"

Upon hearing the boy's question, Kiana's expression froze for a moment, her hazy blue eyes revealing a kind of CPU-overloaded beauty. "Anyway, it's different!"

Kiana said angrily, glaring at the boy in front of her with wide eyes.

Although she genuinely liked the boy and didn't mind having that kind of thing with him, starting off with something so exciting seemed a bit too much!

At least... we should proceed step by step, right?

Thinking this to herself, Kiana glared at the boy even more intensely, trying to force him to back down.

Unfortunately, as a team leader with unwavering convictions, Shihen is not one to back down on such matters.

"Kiana..."

He placed his hands on the girl's shoulders and looked directly into her eyes as he spoke.

"Woo~~"

When the boy stared at her with such intense gaze, Kiana trembled, and the light in her eyes began to dim.

"Whether it's you, Mei, or everyone else, you are all very important to me and absolutely indispensable."

Shihen said in a serious tone.

"Well……"

Upon hearing the boy's words, Kiana sensed that something was amiss.

With her body being held tightly by the other person and her mind too foggy to think, Kiana could only nod blankly and utter a soft "Mmm" from her throat.

On the other hand, seeing that the persuasion had worked, Shihen immediately pressed on and continued, "A few days ago, when I was exchanging information with Durandal, she mentioned that Mei was participating in a very important trial, and that she had to stop several times when she was completely exhausted."
