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

She hurriedly explained, and Seele thoughtfully served Kiana a bowl of fish soup, making sure to scoop out the red dates and goji berries.

"Thank you, Seele. I was actually a little hungry."

As Kiana took the fish soup and inhaled its rich aroma, a bright smile immediately appeared on her face.

Even though, strictly speaking, as a Herrscher, she doesn't need to eat, there's no need to change the habits she's developed over the years.

Moreover, she quite enjoys trying all kinds of delicious food.

As she thought about it, Kiana rubbed her stomach.

For some reason, she felt much weaker than usual when she woke up today, as if someone had used her body to fight a Herrscher-level enemy for several hours.

Upon thinking of this, Kiana immediately suspected a certain habitual offender.

"Hey! Sirin! You didn't do anything to my body again, did you!?"

Kiana asked loudly in her heart, her cheeks puffing out instantly.

Even though she was already on high alert against Sirin, things became increasingly difficult as the two sides drew closer together.

No matter how Kiana questioned her, the only response from the mental world was an empty silence. Even the Queen of the Sky, who used to hold tea parties here, was nowhere to be seen, leaving only a garden without an owner.

"..."

Gazing at the empty world, Kiana felt a sense of foreboding, and her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly.

The more she looked at it, the more she felt that it seemed like Celine had done something bad and was no longer willing to see her.

Meanwhile, in the real world, seeing Kiana gently rubbing her stomach and lost in thought, Seele's cheeks flushed even more.

She suspected that Kiana wasn't hungry, but rather that she had eaten too much the night before.

Honestly, if you're going to do it, you should at least wait until you're back at base or on your warship.

It's worth noting that the tents in the campsite have very poor sound insulation.

What if they heard something they shouldn't have heard...

"Tsk! Are they treating us like part of a game too?"

The unwilling voice of another [Seele] echoed in Seele's mind.

"What play?"

Seele asked herself blankly.

"That's how it is...like that..."

[Seele] explained in a slightly dissatisfied tone, which made Seele's cheeks burn hotter and hotter, almost turning her into a steam princess who was no less hot than the soup pot next to her.

"Seele?"

"Seele, are you alright? Are you sick?"

Noticing the girl beside her acting strangely, Kiana immediately asked with concern.

"..."

Meeting the concerned gaze of the white fluffy ball, Seele's eyes became even more complicated. After a long while, she slowly said, "Kiana, you and Captain Hen should be more careful in the future."

Putting aside the location issue, just the fact that Kiana, who is recognized as a stamina monster, could stay up so late shows how much fun the two of them had last night.

What's even more terrifying is that, despite all this, the boy still looked energetic when he woke up this morning.

Recalling Theresa's various hints to her back then, Seele, who had fully understood everything, felt like her CPU was about to explode.

What if Kiana can't take it anymore one day? Would the other person just shake her and heal her on the spot?

Thinking of this, Seele's pupils completely lost focus.

"what??"

Hearing Seele's words, Kiana was even more confused.

Seeing Seele's unfocused eyes and inability to communicate, Kiana could only touch the girl's burning forehead and sigh helplessly.

Although Seele looks like she's about to get a fever, she is a Herrscher after all, so she should be fine... right?

Silently sipping her fish soup, Kiana immersed herself in enjoying the food while waiting for the others to return.

-------------------------------------

Meanwhile, on a grassy area not far from the camp.

The golden morning light spilled down from the sky, making the surrounding wildflowers even more radiant. Coupled with the refreshing breeze, it was a scene that could instantly lift one's spirits.

But for the two people walking among them at this moment, this scene meant little.

"Sister Natasha must have said something to you, right, Peggy?"

Looking at the blonde girl beside him, who followed him closely and whose face was full of obedience, Shihen asked helplessly.

Although Sirin's night raid last night should be attributed to individual actions, just seeing Theresa and Raven's teamwork this morning tells him that things are not so simple.

There's no doubt that Raven is up to something again.

Moreover, it's highly likely that they also persuaded Theresa to join forces with them this time.

With these two brilliant and talented individuals together, Shihen seriously suspected that they had even planned out the careers of their future children with Kiana.

With only about six months left until the end, Shihen felt that these two were simply causing him trouble.

Is the pressure from [Walter White] too small, or is the threat of Honkai not great enough to civilization?

"..."

Faced with the boy's question, Peggy first looked up and gave him a deep look, then took a few steps forward and hugged Shihen tightly. "I'm sorry, Shihen, I should have understood a long time ago, about those things..."

Thinking of how the other person often pretended to sleep during office hours and left all the anti-entropy tasks to her, Peggy felt an overwhelming pity for her.

In the past, she had thought this was the boy trying to be lazy.

But now that she knows the whole truth, Peggy has finally come to a complete understanding.

This is clearly the result of the boy being relentlessly exploited by the World Serpent!

Balancing the conflict between anti-entropy and destiny while also dealing with the various demands of the World Serpent, it's no wonder the young man often dozes off during work hours.

In comparison, she is far too immature.

Not only did he frequently complain to the boy, but he even tried to enter the snake's territory, almost ruining all of the boy's good intentions.

Thinking of this, Peggy's regret deepened, and she unconsciously increased the strength of her embrace on the boy, as if she were afraid that the boy in front of her would suddenly disappear.

Shi Hen: “…”

He felt that Peggy seemed to have a deep misunderstanding about him.

Feeling the softness against his chest, and seeing the girl's worried and scared expression, Shihen could only pat her back helplessly.

"Alright, don't believe Natasha too much. She's been away from World Serpent for a long time and is no longer aware of the situation within the organization."

Shihen patted Peggy's head and comforted her.

Although he didn't know exactly what Raven had said, just by looking at Peggy's current appearance, he could guess pretty much what it was.

Honestly, Peggy only needs to know the things that are publicly known, but Raven always expresses concern in unnecessary ways.

Thinking of how diligently Raven sabotaged him, Shihen couldn't help but sigh helplessly.

Having already retired from the World Serpent, can't Raven just settle down and obediently retire to its island villa?

"Is this also because of you?"

She looked up and asked, a sharp glint in Peggy's brown eyes.

She had heard the raven tell her about the cruelty of the World Serpent.

It is clear that the reason Raven was able to escape the World Serpent unscathed was because the boy was there to protect him.

"That was her own wish."

Shihen did not hesitate to sever ties.

"..."

Faced with the boy's explanation, Peggy simply raised her head and looked into his dark eyes, her face clearly saying, "I'll just watch your performance."

Having already assumed that all of the boy's actions were to protect others, Peggy didn't believe a word he said.

"I won't make a fuss about joining World Serpent anymore, Scar."

Looking directly into the boy's eyes, Peggy said earnestly, word by word, "And, whatever work or task you have in the future, you can entrust it to me without hesitation."

No matter how trivial or troublesome they may be, I will do my best to get them done.

The only way she could repay the boy was by wholeheartedly cooperating with his plans.

"Ok?"

Seeing the girl's extremely serious expression, Shihen couldn't help but feel a hint of surprise.

After being messed around by the raven, Peggy actually became more obedient?

"besides……"

She bit her lip and gently placed the boy's hand on her chest, saying, "Whatever you want me to do, I will accept it wholeheartedly..."

As she spoke softly, the girl's cheeks turned completely red, but her brown eyes still shone like stars.

Shi Hen: “…”

He felt that the team was becoming increasingly difficult to manage.

This world should just collapse sooner rather than later...

Chapter 167 Kiana's Wedding Plans, Mei in World Snake Again

After spending another half-day of leisure in the mountains of Queenstown, Shihen and his group finally set off to return.

After all, while the current situation of humanity's fight against the Honkai is relatively stable, there isn't enough leeway for Shihen and the others to take a vacation at will.

Heading back towards the Oceania branch base, Shihen and his group soon approached Queenstown when a sudden commotion arose from the cliffs beside them.

"Over there, it looks like someone is having a wedding?"

Bronya glanced up and tilted her head slightly as she spoke.

Although they were still quite a distance from the cliff, the eyesight of a Herrscher-level being far superior to that of an ordinary person.

"A wedding, that sounds wonderful..."

Kiana couldn't help but steal a glance at the boy, and sighed softly.

After the raven stirred up her inner longing, she couldn't help but imagine what she would look like in a wedding dress.

I wonder when I and the boy will reach that point...

Thinking of the Honkai and the threat of [Welt White], Kiana's mood darkened.

"Since you're interested, let's go take a look together. Maybe we can even get a few drinks at a wedding."

Seeing the changes in the white fluffy ball's expression, Himeko smiled and said.

"Aunt Himeko, you clearly just want to drink, don't you!?"

Upon hearing this, Kiana immediately became alert.

She remembered that Himeko was still in the recovery period after using the anti-Honkai serum and should strictly abstain from alcohol.

"..."

Upon hearing this, Himeko's eyebrows twitched violently, and she punched the white-haired girl on the head. "How many times have I told you? Don't call me auntie!"

Looking at Kiana's silly appearance, she momentarily considered abandoning Raven's plan and making this rude idiot regret it for the rest of her life.

Besides, the potion sent by [Walter White] is only half the normal course of treatment anyway. After the serum runs out in six months, she will eventually suffer the backlash of Honkai.

Since the outcome was already predetermined, couldn't she at least enjoy herself while she could?

"I also agree that we should go and see."

Wendy glanced quickly at the boy and then added with a smile, "However, Himeko-sensei still can't drink alcohol."

"Tsk~"
