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

This time, she will definitely bring him back, regardless of whether he is the so-called leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance!

Chapter Ninety-Four: The Girl Favored by the Gods

What's the date today?

While brushing her teeth, Kiana couldn't help but think of this question.

With school on holiday and no need to rush to find a job due to the student grant, the girl, who had been having fun for several days in a row, was starting to feel a bit dazed.

Today, I think it's January 1st... right?

After thinking for several minutes, Kiana finally took out her phone to check the date and confirmed it.

January 1st, the start of a new year, is a good day.

The girl nodded gently, then started thinking about where to go for fun today.

According to the customs of people in the Far East, shouldn't they go to the shrine to pray?

Thinking this, Kiana opened her wardrobe, ran her fingers over her few clothes one by one, and quickly chose a black suit jacket and a pure gray knee-length skirt.

This is the winter uniform of Chiba Academy. The material is thick and warm, and the style is also very nice. It is probably the best outfit she has at the moment.

After all, it's the first day of the new year, so it's best to dress nicely.

After changing into her school uniform and feeling the warmth of her thick coat, Kiana couldn't help but recall the predicament she had when she first arrived in Changkong City.

Following the signs of collapse to this place, she suddenly realized that her savings were completely depleted, and if she didn't find a job soon, she would have to consider sleeping on a park bench.

Perhaps this is Kiana's reward for saving so many people from the Honkai.

While the girl was busy making a living, she was extremely lucky to meet the teacher in charge of admissions at Chiba Academy.

After learning that Kiana had not yet found a school, the other party enthusiastically introduced her to Chiba Academy and casually mentioned their school's preferential policies for foreign students.

In short, tuition is waived, procedures are simplified, and a monthly stipend is provided on time.

Upon hearing this, the girl's eyes widened immediately.

Whether she gets paid or not is irrelevant; what matters is her love of learning and her fondness for the environment and atmosphere of Chiba Academy.

As a result, the two sides quickly reached an agreement.

Kiana then became a first-year high school student at Chiba Academy and temporarily settled in Changkong City.

Thinking about it this way, Chiba Academy is really rich. The monthly scholarships they give out are more than her monthly salary from working hard in the past.

The girl couldn't help but feel a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a complex emotion encompassing feelings, emotions, and reflection).

Well, after studying for a few more months and saving up a little more money, I'll set off for North America.

She and Hen had made a promise to meet again in North America.

As for the admissions officer at Chiba Academy... sorry, she's someone who's going to save the world, how can she stay in one place forever?

Thinking this, a smile involuntarily appeared on the girl's face.

Once outside, Kiana headed straight for the largest shrine in Changkong City.

Since she was in the mood, she naturally wanted to see what the most bustling and efficacious shrine was like, so she could share it with her friends later, right?

After getting off the tram, it was only a few steps to the foot of the mountain where the shrine was located. The girl looked up and her face involuntarily showed a look of shock.

so many people……

This is Kiana's most direct feeling.

Looking around, all I could see were dense crowds of people.

It seems like everyone in Changkong City has come here.

The girl couldn't help but think this in her heart, but then she shook her head slightly.

Changkong City has nearly three million people; this small hill can't contain them all.

However, judging by the number of visitors alone, this shrine truly deserves to be the most popular in Changkong City.

With a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, mixed feelings of emotion and reflection), Kiana followed the crowd onto the path leading to the temple.

The approach to the temple was paved with stone slabs, and her round-toed leather shoes made a clattering sound as she walked on them. Even amidst the clamor of people around her, she could clearly distinguish them as long as she focused on the path.

Feeling the lightness of her footsteps, the girl's clear blue eyes, as bright as the sky, curiously looked around.

The long approach to the temple, the rows of red torii gates, the colorful clothes worn by the people... all of this particularly attracted Kiana's attention.

Having witnessed the madness of collapse and the desolation after the decline of civilization, the current prosperity in the girl's eyes carries a different meaning.

There are still many things in this world worth protecting.

Kiana nodded slightly and smiled.

only……

Looking down at her own clothes and then at the clothes of the people around her, the girl realized that the school uniform didn't seem to suit her at all.

Even though the school uniforms at Chiba Academy are quite attractive.

However, since they were already here, the word "give up halfway" was not in the Kaslana family's dictionary.

The long path soon came to an end. Kiana followed the others and used a wooden ladle to scoop water to wash her hands. Then she arrived at a small house with a thick, long hemp rope hanging from it.

By carefully observing the actions of the people around her and combining them with the fragmented knowledge in her mind, the girl quickly realized that this was a place where people from the Far East made wishes to the gods.

Pray to the gods...

Looking at the wooden money box in the house, Kiana's eyes flashed with a hint of hesitation.

According to my stinky old man, there have never been any gods in this world.

Even if such a god exists, it is an evil god that humanity must defeat and eliminate.

But after thinking about it, the girl still took out a coin of the lowest denomination from her pocket.

Although she herself does not believe in any deity, she does not force others to be like her.

Moreover, if this behavior is just treated as a game, there's nothing wrong with trying it occasionally.

Even among those who make wishes to the gods, who would truly place their hopes on such a vague and unknown existence?

Kiana flicked the coin with her fingers, shook the beaded rope until the wind chimes on it jingled, then clasped her hands together and closed her eyes slightly.

"Listen up, God, if you truly have any power, then grant me the person I wish to see as soon as possible."

Kiana whispered to herself, then opened her eyes again to look at the unresponsive wooden box before turning away.

She never really relied on any gods.

But the next second, when she saw the familiar figure that had entered her field of vision, the girl was stunned.

"Kiana?"

Upon seeing the white-haired ball of fur dressed in a school uniform, Shihen's eyelids twitched immediately.

No, can anyone tell him how Kiana got here?

The boy felt that he had been tricked by some unknown force.

As a professional behind-the-scenes boss, how could an accident happen before he even started working on the script?

"mark!"

After a long separation and an unexpected encounter, Kiana exclaimed in surprise and then quickly stepped forward to hug the boy tightly.

In an instant, Shihen felt something on his chest... well, actually, he didn't feel much.

The winter uniforms at Chiba Academy were too thick, and the girls hadn't really developed yet, so the boy only felt the Kaslana family's inherited superhuman strength.

These white-haired people truly lived up to their reputation as his lifelong enemies.

Chapter Ninety-Five: My Sister Has a Friend

"Captain, who is this...?"

A soft, weak voice suddenly rang out.

Realizing what had happened, Kiana blushed and quickly released the boy, glancing at the group of people around Shihen.

Unlike her, who was alone, the boy had clearly come with a companion.

Yes, they are all very cute girls, and the clothes they are wearing are very bright, which makes people think of a flower field in spring.

Kiana glanced at the brightly colored kimonos worn by the others, including Shihen who was wearing a blue-black haori, and then looked at her own simple school uniform. Even Kiana blushed and shrank back towards the boy.

"Ahem, this is Kiana, a friend I met before I went to North America." Shihen pointed to the white fluffy ball and said, then pointed to the three little ones in turn, "Seele, Bronya, and Xing, these are the friends I met in North America."

Although the script seemed to have some unexpected issues, it didn't matter. Shihen believed that his acting skills were sufficient to handle such a small scene.

Hello everyone!

Pointed out by the boy, Kiana could only wave and greet the others.

"Kiana, hello, I'm Seele."

She put on a smile, but Seele was still a little nervous talking to strangers, and subconsciously introduced herself again.

"Hello."

Bronya glanced at Kiana's unusually long, snow-white hair with some interest and nodded gently.

"Tch..." Seeing that the other person's gaze had fallen on her, Xing couldn't help but curl her lips, but still greeted them arrogantly, "Kiana, right? I'll remember you."

"Sorry, my friends... well, they're all quite individualistic."

Shihen shrugged helplessly.

Even if they can get the three kids to obey commands in battle, their rough edges won't be smoothed out in a short time.

Moreover, he doesn't think these are things that need to be changed.

How boring the world would be if everyone became the same.

"It's obvious."

Looking at the three people in front of her, whose styles were completely different, Kiana's lips twitched slightly.

One can imagine that just getting to know these guys would make the boy's life in North America very exciting.

"By the way, didn't you say you went to North America?" Kiana asked, stepping slightly to the side so as not to obstruct others from worshipping, "And Xin, Seele called you... Captain?"

Besides that, she also paid a lot of attention to the gray-haired girl named Bronya.

The cold look in the other person's eyes as they sized her up instantly reminded her of the lone wolf she had encountered in the wasteland.

Although the other person's gaze quickly shifted away, she almost doubted that it was an illusion.

"Oh, I forgot to mention, my school in North America happens to have an exchange program with the Far East, so they chose me, who's more familiar with this country, to be the team leader." Shihen said calmly, then winked at Xier. "Right, Xier?"

Upon hearing this nonsensical statement, Xing couldn't stand it any longer: "Huh? What are you talking about—"

Bronya's swift and accurate elbow strike silenced Xing.

"Yes, yes, that's right. The captain is really familiar with this place. He even helped us choose the clothes we're wearing."

Nodding, Seele's expression quickly calmed down, and she turned around to show Kiana the light blue kimono with butterfly patterns.

What the girl said was basically true.

Shihen and his group arrived in Changkong City yesterday and stayed at the ME Company's employee dormitory.

Since they were already there, the boy suggested that they experience the folk customs of the Far East, since the collapse wasn't happening all the time.

Seele, who was showing signs of becoming a staunch supporter of the boy, readily agreed, and Bronya nodded slightly without objection. As for Apricot... that arrogant brat had no right to vote.

As a result, the New Year's travel plan was unanimously approved by the seventh squad.

For this purpose, the group even changed into traditional Far Eastern clothing.

It's worth mentioning that all four of them were wearing rented clothes.

While Shihen was certainly not short of money, the three boys' financial situation was not yet at the point where they could squander it at will, so the boy naturally did not act out of line this time.

As for giving three sets directly... what if Ya Ya misunderstands and thinks the boy has feelings for Seele?
