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

As she spoke, she noticed the strange posture of the group, and the fairy lady couldn't help but show a bit of embarrassment: "Um... did I come at the wrong time?"

Shi Hen: “…”

What do you say?

Hey!

The hand gripping the boy's chin tightened suddenly, and Mei's smile instantly became incredibly bright: "Hen, can you explain to me what's going on with Gretchen?"

Don't worry, we have plenty of time this time, we can exchange ideas slowly.

She spoke slowly and deliberately, her tone drawing out, and her eyes, which resembled purple lightning, narrowed into two crescent moons.

P.S.: The main storyline ends here. Tomorrow I'll start the side stories, covering the other characters I couldn't write about due to length constraints. *cough*

Chapter One: Prelude to Thunder and Fire, The Inescapable Fate of the Silly Goose

Whoosh!

Surrounded by the sound of waves, a small yacht is sailing on the azure sea.

"Speaking of which, where exactly are we going?"

Lying on a beach chair, sunbathing, Kiana blinked and asked the boy beside her, her delicate feet occasionally lifting and swinging, her ten pearl-like toes gleaming beautifully in the sunlight.

"You've asked this question seven times now."

While applying sunscreen to the white-haired girl in her swimsuit, Shihen replied with a helpless expression, his hand unconsciously pinching the girl's waist, causing her to let out a series of cute exclamations.

To be fair, Kiana's waist is truly exceptional.

Especially in this swimsuit episode, it's so irresistible that you wish you could play with it all day long.

"But I just want to know!"

Sensing that the boy was starting to act inappropriately, Kiana couldn't help but roll her eyes at him, her gaze unconsciously becoming alluring.

Even when faced with difficulties and challenges, the knights of the Kaslana family can demonstrate an iron will and determination.

But in front of the boy she loves, even the strongest and bravest knight will show a gentle and tender side.

You'll find out soon enough.

With a smile, Shihen continued to move his hand upwards, gently kneading the girl's fair and flawless back.

"..."

Watching the boy's actions, Mei pursed her lips and reached out to tug at her swimsuit at her chest. "Hen, I feel a little itchy here. Can you come and take a look?"

She smiled and said, her eyes revealing just the right amount of tenderness that made one feel an irresistible urge to pity her.

Kiana: "..."

Is it itchy? I'm too embarrassed to call you out on it!

While cursing under her breath, Kiana subconsciously glanced down and felt a strong sense of frustration rise in her heart.

Damn it, we all have the same genes, so why is my older sister so big?

It must be that girl, Sirin, who dragged me down!

Kiana quickly found an excuse for her failure.

Despite having a lot of inner monologues, the white-furred ball of fur didn't dare to start a fight directly, despite Mei's sharp gaze.

After all, no matter what, Mei was the one who was deceived the most by someone, so Kiana naturally felt a bit guilty towards her.

Therefore, she has never minded making some concessions on minor matters.

Of course, this only applies to minor matters.

When faced with truly important matters of principle, she will not easily back down.

She, Qi, the Empress Yana, will definitely be the first person to completely devour a young man!

Kiana looked up and met Mei's gaze for a few seconds, her eyes burning with what seemed like flames.

Ignoring the subtle rivalry between the two women, Shihen's gaze was immediately drawn to Mei's enormous human heart.

Yes, like Kiana, Mei is also wearing a swimsuit today, and it's black, which contrasts sharply with her skin.

Seeing the large expanse of snow-white skin revealed by the girl, Shihen raised his eyes and met Meiyi's soft gaze, and couldn't help but get hard.

It's ridiculous. Even if he no longer needs to play the role, is he the kind of person who would be defeated by these things?

With a sneer in his heart, Shihen took the initiative to massage Mei, which made the white fluffy ball beside him look at him with a hint of resentment.

Feeling the soft, watery touch on his fingertips, Shihen's thoughts drifted slightly, and he couldn't help but think of all that had happened recently.

Well, as of today, it has been a full seven days since that failed launch.

Over the course of the week, he went to great lengths to win over Theresa, Siegfried, and Raiden Ryoma, among others. At least now, his fathers-in-law wouldn't be at the point of drawing their guns and swords to duel the moment they met.

He even made a promise to Walter to develop large mechs together in the future.

After calming down the resentment of the older generation, he finally began the daily life of a player who had completed the game, taking Kiana and Mei on a spontaneous trip.

As for the others... Durandal, as the Bishop of Schicksal, is extremely busy, Wendy and Anna also have Valkyrie affairs to handle, Peggy has become the Bishop of Schicksal's assistant and continues to work as a laborer, and even Bronya and Seele are helping to handle the fusion of Anti-Entropy and Schicksal.

Although Shihen was certain that if he seriously extended an invitation, the other girls would most likely be willing to participate in the trip.

But after all, there are still a full ten years before the next departure, so he has plenty of time to give everyone an explanation. There is no need to be too anxious about this.

While it's certainly enjoyable to go straight to the point, maintaining a certain distance in a relationship is also a wonderful part of its development.

Even a certain pink fairy, who is always enthusiastic, just traveled around and became a web blogger after leaving Paradise, without showing any sign of being in a hurry.

"Hen! It's my turn! It's my turn!"

An anxious voice suddenly rang out, pulling the boy back to reality from his slight daze.

Looking down at Mei's cheeks, which were flushed red as if she had a fever, Shihen couldn't help but smile slightly before turning his gaze to the white fur ball beside him.

then……

Bang!

Kiana shoved the boy down into the chair, a lovesick smile spreading across her face: "Hehe~ Hen, you've been busy for so long, now it's my turn... no, it's your turn to rest."

As she spoke, Kiana's gaze swept back and forth over the boy's strong, muscular physique, and the curve of her lips grew increasingly unrestrained.

Shi Hen: “…”

In that instant, he felt as if he were the prey who had inadvertently fallen into the wolf's jaws.

"Kia~na~"

But before the boy could make any resistance, a clear, cold voice rang out, causing the white fur ball to shiver and stop holding the boy's hand, no longer daring to overstep its bounds.

rustle~

Mei moved gracefully to the boy's side, looking down at Shihen who still seemed a little dazed, and gently ran her fingers up the boy's chest.

"Hen, do you want Kiana to come, or do you prefer me more?"

As she gently stroked it with her fingertips, Mei asked with a smile, a mischievous glint in her eyes.

"..."

Meeting Mei's playful gaze and sensing Kiana's anxious yet hopeful eyes beside her, Shihen paused slightly before reaching out to pull both girls into his arms at the same time. "Both of you are equally important to me."

With a forceful pull, Shihen subdued the girl's feeble resistance and spoke with unwavering resolve.

In situations where choosing either side is a death sentence, only by taking the initiative can one turn defeat into victory and achieve a comeback.

"W-what's wrong? Why are you saying things like that all of a sudden..."

Upon hearing this, Kiana, no longer caring that she had initiated the challenge, blushed instantly.

"Oh? So, even if it were that kind of thing, you still want me and Kiana together? Hen~"

Undeterred by the boy's offensive, Mei's fingers lightly landed on his waist before giving it a slight twist.

"Well--"

He couldn't help but let out a muffled groan. Shihen turned his head to look at the mischievous smile on Mei's face, and could only take a deep breath and lower his head to seal the girl's soft cherry lips.

"Hmm~~"

Unable to speak any longer, Mei felt the boy's intense assault, and her already soft body suddenly went limp as if her bones had been removed.

Well, although I really want to have the boy all to myself, if things really develop to that point, there's probably nothing I can do about it, right?

Compared to others, she is already far ahead.

Thinking of Durandal and the others who were still busy with countless political affairs, Mei's resistance became weaker and weaker, and she soon took the initiative to cooperate with the boy's invasion.

After a while, when Danghen had temporarily defeated Mei, he turned around and met the white fluffy ball's moist eyes.

Next time I have the chance, I'll just bring one person with me...

Shihen couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

If even Mei and Kiana are like this, wouldn't the situation be even more uncontrollable if it were someone else?

While thinking about it, Shihen could only choose to give the white fluffy ball the same satisfaction.

…………

After much effort, the yacht, equipped with an automatic navigation system, finally arrived at its destination—a villa island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean—around noon.

At the island's pier, a raven dressed in casual home clothes had been waiting for a long time.

"Sister Natasha~"

Upon spotting the raven from the yacht, Kiana immediately raised her arms and shouted.

"Kiana!"

With a smile, Raven glanced at the boy and Mei beside her, and her expression immediately changed. "Mei...Mei? You're not dead!?"

Mei: “???”

"No, no, I mean, how come you're still alive?"

Realizing she had misspoke, Raven quickly corrected herself, but this only made the atmosphere worse, and Mei's expression became increasingly incomprehensible.

"Natasha, what are you saying? Of course Mei is still alive."

Kiana asked, looking puzzled.

"Really? I didn't see Mei in Queenstown last time, I thought..."

Hearing this, Raven breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest with a still somewhat apprehensive expression.

Although Kiana is the only true love she has ever loved, she still doesn't want anything to happen to Mei.

"Hmph! I'll settle the score with you later for what happened in Queenstown..."

In an instant, Mei understood what had happened. She placed one hand on the boy's lower back and gently pinched him while whispering softly in his ear.

Even back when she was in the Dominate Theater, she had already evened things over with Kiana, who suddenly announced her wedding.

But... now she understands that her journey to the World Serpent was part of someone's scheme.

Moreover, it wasn't just the World Serpent incident; her entire life after Changkong City was almost entirely dictated by the boy's plans.

Even if her mind and body were already trapped like a butterfly caught in a spider's web, unable to escape, she could still settle accounts with the boy in other ways.

Thinking about the future that would surely be filled with white, Mei's cheeks couldn't help but turn red.

"..."

Hearing Mei's words that made one's back and kidneys ache, Shihen couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, but he still maintained a normal expression and explained to Raven, "Back in Queenstown, Mei was just carrying out some rather special missions, so you didn't see her, Natasha."

As he spoke, Shihen's gaze toward the raven held a hint of resentment.

He had already explained that Mei had gone far away, so how could this mercenary queen still imagine that she had died?

This is clearly a lack of trust in his abilities!

“Ah…Is that so?”

With a slightly flushed face, Raven replied and waved to the group, "Anyway, you're welcome to come and have fun here."

Although it's not as advanced as Destiny or Anti-Entropy, this place should still be quite suitable for a vacation.
