"Ah, I'm so full..."
Kiana slumped lazily in the chair, rubbing her stomach.
"Desserts can't be a main course."
Glancing at the girl's slightly protruding belly, Shihen shook his head with a hint of helplessness.
"It's all because you didn't finish the cake you ordered."
Upon hearing the boy's words, Kiana immediately became angry.
If it were just her own extra-large cup of mousse, the girl was confident she could handle it, but alas... Shihen gave up after eating only half of the cake.
And the reason? The cake was too sweet?
Is this the kind of excuse Kiana can tolerate?
Adhering to the principle of cherishing food, the girl finished the rest of the cake on the spot, and then... she was stuffed.
She wasn't too hungry since it wasn't mealtime, and desserts are high-calorie foods. With all these factors combined, even Kaslana's inherited stomach couldn't handle it.
"I don't like things that are too sweet."
Without a trace of shame on his face, Shihen spoke with righteous indignation.
He felt that this pastry shop really had no taste.
He even dared to ask the shop owner to add less sugar to his milk tea, but this shop actually put so much cream on his cake.
"Then why are you ordering cake?"
Rolling her eyes, Kiana clearly didn't accept that reason.
"Give it a try, who knew the cakes from this shop would be so sweet."
Shihen continued to make excuses for himself.
"This shop is famous for its desserts!"
Kiana stands with her hands on her hips.
"Negative review, this is discriminating against people like us who don't like sugar."
Time-related issues are being shifted to blame.
"It's clearly your own problem."
Kiana pointed and gestured at the boy.
"Pfft~" Seeing this, Seele couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Kiana and the captain have a very good relationship."
During the anti-entropy period, she had never seen anyone argue with Shihen in such a childish way.
At least in front of them, the boy always acted like an older brother, gentle and reliable yet strict.
"It's alright..."
Kiana instinctively avoided the boy's gaze, her face immediately turning red.
"Is that right?"
Glancing at the white fluffy ball, Shihen stroked his chin and asked softly.
"Yes."
Seele smiled and nodded.
“Seele is right.”
Bronya chimed in.
At the very least, she would never eat any leftovers from Xing, and would only consider eating Seele's leftovers.
"So lovey-dovey, just like Seele—"
Before she could finish speaking, Xing received a warning look from Bronya, so the girl immediately shut up.
Having just finished dessert, if she were to get beaten up now... Xing thought she'd better behave herself.
She didn't want to die, and she especially didn't want to die.
"By the way, I haven't asked you how you met Hen yet."
Kiana's cheeks flushed even more, and she quickly changed the subject.
Upon hearing this, the three little ones immediately turned their gazes toward Shihen.
They haven't exchanged messages yet.
“Well…” Shihen’s eyes flickered slightly before he spoke, “I have a teacher I’m quite familiar with at a school in North America. Xi’er and the others are the daughters of that teacher’s friend, which is why she asked me to take care of them for a while.”
In a sense, Shihen is quite proud.
Even if it's just a pretext, the boy doesn't believe Cocolia is qualified to be his teacher.
He was the second leader of Anti-Entropy!
It is estimated that he will be the third in the future.
This is how the spirit of Walter is passed down from generation to generation.
Yes, it was passed from his left hand to his right.
"is it?"
Looking at the three people in front of her whose hair colors didn't even match, Kiana's lips twitched involuntarily.
She felt that the boy was insulting her intelligence.
“My teacher’s friend has a very complicated family situation.”
Shihen had a confident expression on his face.
"That's right, that's exactly how it is."
Nodding slightly in agreement, Xi'er gave Shihen a grateful look.
Even with this fabricated excuse, the boy still didn't reveal the fact that the girls were orphans.
"Ah this..."
Looking at the three people in front of her who showed absolutely no blood relation, Kiana's already limited brain completely shut down.
She simply couldn't fathom what kind of complicated family relationships could have brought these women together as sisters.
"Don't overthink it. My teacher's friend is a very good mother."
Shihen patted the girl's head to help her skip this step, Shihen added.
Whether she can fight against the Honkai is still uncertain, but Cocolia is indeed an excellent mother.
Otherwise, the other side would not have been able to tame Bronya, the lone wolf of the snowfield.
"Yes, Mom is very good to us."
Nodding, Seele smiled.
Although life in the orphanage was quite difficult, the home-like atmosphere was something that every child cherished and missed dearly.
That's why, even though Cocolia never inquired about their salaries at Anti-Entropy, they still transferred most of their money to the orphanage's account, hoping that their companions who stayed in Siberia could have a better life.
This was their own choice.
"Yes, Mom is very gentle."
Bronya echoed softly.
"Of course, Mom is the best person in the world."
With her little face slightly raised, Xing said with a proud expression.
Cocolia was also the person she respected most.
"Mom..."
Upon hearing this word, a hint of sadness flashed across Kiana's face.
She has never met her mother.
"Speaking of which, Kiana, what are you doing in Changkong City? And even... attending school there?"
Noticing the change in the girl's mood, Shihen quickly changed the subject.
As expected, upon hearing the boy's surprised words, Kiana immediately became angry: "Hey! What do you mean by that? I know how important studying is, okay?!"
She could never say something like, "I'm broke, so I'm going to Chiyu Academy to get a scholarship."
Doesn't the dignified Kiana have any dignity?!
"Yes, yes, Miss Kiana is the best!" Shihen immediately raised his hands and begged for mercy, "To be able to enter Qianyu Academy, Miss Kiana's grades must be excellent, right?"
"Well... that's for sure." Kiana touched her nose and subconsciously avoided the boy's gaze. "The teacher in charge of admissions begged me for a long time before I reluctantly agreed to enroll at Chiba Academy."
"is it?"
He asked softly, a slight smile playing on his lips.
As one of the top-ranked elite girls' schools in Changkong City, those who can enroll in Qianyu Academy are basically either rich or noble, or they are top students whose academic performance is so outstanding that even the school has to take notice.
After all, Chiba Academy is a school, and it always needs someone to support its college entrance examination pass rate.
But clearly, Kiana, who possesses both the "wanderer" and "idiot" buffs, is neither of those.
Even someone with no brains could guess that this was the result of someone's scheming.
Although there is still some time before the third Honkai outbreak, and Cocolia hasn't even obtained the Conquest Gem yet, all eyes have already been on her.
The entire city of Changkong was already rife with undercurrents.
As one of the main characters in this grand drama, Kiana remains completely unaware of it.
Chapter 98 Joining Senba Academy to become the strongest?
"Are you doubting my abilities?"
Kiana raised an eyebrow and her tone turned unfriendly.
Even if she couldn't understand what the teacher was saying in class, she was still a top student, one in a million.
Fortunately, Shihen and the others were not students of Qianyu Academy.
Kiana felt incredibly fortunate.
"No!" Overwhelmed by the girl's imposing aura, Shihen leaned back slightly and put on a flattering smile. "I was just thinking that our school happens to be doing exchange activities with Chiyu Academy, and I hope to learn more from Miss Kiana in the future."
With Anti-Entropy's influence in the Far East political arena, he wouldn't even need to throw money around to get a back door to Chiba Academy.
With just one phone call, he could even fill the other person's flower bed with bok choy.
"Huh?" Kiana's face turned pale upon hearing this. "You...you guys are coming to Chiba Academy?"
In an instant, the girl's pride vanished like a punctured balloon, and the entire white fluffy ball of fur wilted.
“Yes.” As if he didn’t see the panic on the girl’s face, Shihen smiled even more brightly. “Before I came, I was worried that I might mess up the exchange activity.”
But with Kiana around, there shouldn't be any problems, right?
"Ah... of course, you don't even know who I am."
Kiana spoke with a stiff neck, her forehead covered in sweat.
Upon seeing this scene, the three Siberian children on the opposite side exchanged glances, each feeling a slight sense of apprehension towards the boy.
This captain is absolutely inhuman.
Even they could see that Kiana was just being stubborn, but Shihen kept adding to the girl's psychological burden.
When Kiana realizes the truth, the other person will definitely cry, right?
"Then I look forward to your guidance, Miss Kiana, in a while?" Shihen said with a smile, glancing out the window. "It's getting late, let's part ways here for today?"
"Eh?"
Kiana hadn't yet recovered from her panic.
