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

I'll enter your information into the security system later, so you can come and play whenever you have time.

As she spoke, the raven glanced at the boy with a hint of resentment in her eyes.

When she received a message from the boy saying he would bring a female friend to the villa island for a vacation, she was also moved that he and Kiana had finally gotten together.

But as it turned out... looking at the two equally beautiful girls beside the boy, Raven became acutely aware of the generation gap between them.

She's practically a fan of pure romance, you know!

"Thank you, Sister Natasha! You're the best to me after all!"

Unbeknownst to Raven, Kiana was already deeply sorry for her. A smile immediately appeared on her face as she hugged the Mercenary Queen's arm affectionately and rubbed against her, while giving the other person a glare.

Even though it was her first time on the island, the raven generously granted her so many privileges.

On the other hand, regarding a certain young man... she still doesn't know how many things he's been hiding from her.

Even if the boy said he was some kind of alien, she felt it wasn't impossible.

"..."

Seeing the raven's enthusiastic demeanor, Mei's eyes suddenly held a hint of confusion.

Although there was no evidence, she felt that the boy probably hadn't revealed the whole truth to her either.

In other words, Raven is also one of the victims of the teenager's lies.

Mei couldn't help but want to question the boy about how much he was still hiding, but seeing the happy smile on Raven's face, she couldn't help but soften her heart and didn't dare to shatter everything.

Just like with them, even though the boy was full of lies, the emotions contained within were still incredibly sincere and precious!

Therefore, she will be the one to protect this happiness built on lies!

Mei clenched her fist tightly, a hint of determination flashing in her eyes.

"Alright, let's head this way now. I promise you'll have a great time these next few days."

Unaware of Mei's inner resolve, Raven smiled and led the way, revealing the entire villa island she had painstakingly created to the group.

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

Destiny Headquarters, Bishop's Office.

"What are Kiana and the others doing at this time?"

As she reviewed the seemingly endless documents, Durandal couldn't help but think to herself.

Although she wasn't particularly upset that Shihen and the others had abandoned her to travel together, due to her strong sense of responsibility, she still longed for such a thing to happen to her.

Upon thinking of this, Durandal quickly shook her head, forcing herself to focus on the work in front of her.

boom!

A dull thud sounded, and Durandal looked up to see a girl with long, light blonde hair carrying a large stack of documents onto the table.

"Thank you, Peggy."

"If it weren't for you, it would have taken me much longer to organize these documents."

A gentle smile immediately appeared on her face, and Durandal softly praised the girl.

Even though many things still required her, the bishop, to make the decisions, Peggy's work efficiency improved considerably after she sorted out the various documents.

"..."

Upon hearing the words of the female knight, Peggy couldn't help but fall silent.

Has this guy really not noticed that she's been smearing a lot of trivial matters into the documents these past few days?

After all, in a sense, this Valkyrie, who shines like the sun, is also her rival in love.

Even though the other party didn't seem to see her as a threat at all.

Even so, why would a certain young man so directly assign her to Durandal's command? Is he treating her like some emotionless, overtime-only tool?!

With some resentment accumulating in her heart, she naturally couldn't assist Durandal as she had with the boy before.

Moreover, she didn't think there was anything wrong with what she did.

After all, it was someone who treated her like a rag!

Peggy had always firmly believed in her own correctness, but now, facing the Knight Princess's sunny smile, she couldn't help but feel ashamed.

If she can't even handle this kind of rebellious emotion, how will she compete with the Valkyrie in front of her in the future?!

The gloom in her heart completely dissipated as if it had been exposed to sunlight, and Peggy made a firm decision to become an outstanding bishop's assistant.

Only in this way can she face Durandal with a clear conscience in her future competition!

Feeling the sun-like warmth emanating from the female knight, this Siberian girl silently underwent a self-transformation (PUA).

P.S.: From now on, it'll be regular episodes, but I might add a 1.5 part depending on the situation, since there's still Greta Thunberg involved. *cough*

Chapter Two: Kiana, This Is Just a Candy Bean

Nourishing ~

Under the charcoal fire, fine oil seeped from the meat chunks, and a rich, enticing aroma of meat mixed with the fragrance of seasonings wafted out, making the white furry little ball's eyes almost light up.

"Here, this is yours."

Seeing this, Shihen smiled and handed a skewer of grilled meat to the girl.

Of course, Mei's share was also indispensable.

This is the self-awareness a true aquaman should have.

"Mmm—so delicious! Hen's cooking skills are still amazing!"

Forgetting all about being reserved, Kiana took a bite and felt the savory juices burst in her mouth, and couldn't help but praise it.

In terms of culinary skills, the young man has always been a master.

"Eat slowly, there's still plenty of food."

Seeing the white fluffy ball gobbling down its food, Shihen couldn't help but chuckle softly.

Despite having been through so much together, whenever he saw the girl like this, he still felt as if he had returned to the past.

In terms of feeling as fresh as when they first met, Kiana and a certain fairy lady are on the same level.

"Hen, you should try some too."

A gentle voice rang out, and a fragrant skewer of grilled meat was simultaneously placed to the boy's lips.

"..."

Looking at the delicious food that was already being served to him, and feeling the faint pressure mixed with the girl's gentle gaze, Shihen only had one choice left.

"No~"

Without any hesitation, Mei took a bite from the mark left by the boy, and her smile became even brighter. "The mark's skills are indeed excellent."

As she spoke, Mei stuck out her tongue and licked the oil stains on her lips, but her gaze was fixed on the boy's face, the meaning of which was self-evident.

Even though the boy took away her position as chef and she couldn't show off her skills, as a young lady from the Far East, the girl still has a lot of ways to show her unique charm.

Kiana: "..."

She suddenly felt that the skewers in her hand no longer smelled good.

"Alright, stop focusing on the barbecue, is there anything you'd like to drink?"

As Raven pushed out a cart full of various flavored drinks, he greeted the group with a smile.

"I want a soda!"

Upon seeing the bottles and jars in front of Raven, Kiana immediately surrounded the mercenary like a cat lured by a ball of yarn.

"Good~"

With a smile, Raven agreed and quickly got to work.

Ice cubes, sparkling water, syrup... various ingredients are added to the cup one by one and stirred. Soon, a drink with a gradient of azure colors is magically created in the mercenary's hands.

"Wow! Natasha is amazing! It's like magic!"

Watching the mercenary's dazzling and complex techniques, Kiana couldn't help but gape, her blue eyes blinking like stars.

Here, give it a try.

A glass of "Summer Sky" is perfect for girls who don't like alcohol.

With satisfaction in its eyes as it looked at the white fluffy ball, Raven smiled and handed over the wine glass in its hand, the straw in the glass thoughtfully twisted into a heart shape.

"Mmm~ It's so delicious! It's a hundred... no, a million times better than the drinks in the supermarket!"

Taking a sip, Kiana's face immediately lit up with a radiant smile, brighter than the sunlight.

"Um……"

To this, the raven simply smiled slightly.

Although she no longer runs a bar, her bartending skills, which she learned for the job, have not diminished in the slightest.

At least, it's more than enough to deal with a young girl like Kiana.

"Gu~~"

Of course, she had no idea that the person making her drink was the former mercenary queen who once dominated the underworld. Kiana, biting her straw, rolled her eyes and immediately presented the drink to the boy like a treasure, "Hen, you should try it too, it's delicious!"

"..."

Faced with the white fluffy ball's behavior, which was exactly the same as Mei's, Shihen could only smile helplessly and took a big gulp from the straw that still had the girl's teeth marks on it.

"what--"

Seeing the light blue liquid in the glass almost empty in an instant, Kiana couldn't help but open her mouth slightly, looking as if she wanted to say something but didn't know how to start. Her bright blue eyes were also glazed over and filled with moisture.

"Thank you, Kiana. This is really delicious."

Seeing the white fluffy ball's performance, Shihen smiled and praised it.

To be fair, while his culinary skills are somewhat questionable, Raven's bartending skills are quite outstanding; he's at a level where he could earn enough for retirement even just as a bartender.

"Sister Natasha, look at him—"

Unable to contain herself any longer, Kiana gritted her teeth and stomped her feet, resorting to her final trump card—telling on someone.

"Pfft~"

Unable to contain his laughter, Raven quickly prepared another drink before the white fluffy ball burst into tears. "Alright, try this one, it should be just as good."

"Um……"

Kiana's expression brightened, and she clutched the new drink to her chest like a protective cat, giving the other person no chance to take advantage. "Hmph! I'm never letting you taste this again!"

As she spoke, Kiana secretly glanced at the boy, her blue eyes blinking with hope.

Even though this has happened, if the boy is willing to coax her properly, she might be willing to share it with him again.

"Hen, since Kiana isn't willing to give it to you, why don't you try mine?"

Without giving the white-fuzzy ball any chance, Mei seized the opportunity to speak, simultaneously bringing a dreamy blue-purple drink to the boy's lips.

"???"

Kiana was once again stunned as she watched the black-haired girl step forward, holding a cup in one hand and gently tossing her hair with the other, revealing a captivating charm.

What's going on? Shouldn't this be her film set?

Why does she feel like she's always getting the short end of the stick?!

"..."

Witnessing the confrontation between the three, Raven couldn't help but sigh and rub his forehead.

How come Kiana's rank is still so low after all this time?

If this were a period drama, it wouldn't even last three episodes!

It seems that if we want Kiana to win, we'll have to use some special methods...

While enjoying the delicious roasted meat offered by the boy, Raven secretly pondered in his heart.
