Sirin's Training Diary (cont.)

"Goodbye, Big Sister~" ×n

"I won't let you get away with this!!!"

"See you tonight, big sister~~" ×n

After Sirin disappeared, the dilapidated Theater slowly recovered under the influence of Honkai Energy, and many Anqi gathered in the center, lying down, sitting, or piling up on top of each other, without any regard for appearances.

"Hahaha! I knew it would work!"

"She has to defeat all of us to win the battle and threaten our authority!"

"It would be a miracle if we could win!"

"We are invincible! Big sister is the perfect sparring partner!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

The Anqi burst into laughter, some even rolling on the floor laughing.

Back when he was still weak and hadn't yet mastered control over his powers, he accidentally dragged Sirin into the Theater, and that first encounter almost wiped out the entire Anqi team.

That was the most dangerous day for Anqi in this world. If she failed in the Theater and her power was taken away by Sirin, even if not all of it was taken away, Sirin might be able to wake up—then everything that followed would be out of control, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

But how long has it been? Less than half a year, and the situation has completely reversed!

The sense of accomplishment and the pleasure of revenge made the Anqi laugh uncontrollably.

"Mmm~ I feel so refreshed~~"

"Ugh, so tired~~"

The next day, Kiana woke up with an unprecedented sense of relief, as if some heavy burden had been suddenly lifted off her shoulders— Sirin was all wilted, which meant that most of the mental burden that the silly girl was unaware of had been relieved!

In contrast, Anqi was yawning, her eyes still sleepy, looking exhausted after working all night.

Kiana blinked, then hugged Anqi and chuckled:

"Hehe! Sleeping with Anqi really improves my sleep quality. It feels like one night's sleep is equivalent to three nights' worth. So, want to continue tonight?"

"Walk slowly."

Anqi rubbed her watery eyes and replied with a blank face.

Kiana's eyes lit up with surprise, and she chuckled as she stroked Anqi's hair and chin.

Kiana was unaware that this exceptional "sleep quality" would last much longer than she imagined.

The next evening.

Anqi: "Welcome to the Theater of Domination —I forgot to say my lines yesterday, let's continue playing, big sister!"

Sirin: "You dare come back?! I could kill you a thousand times, ten thousand times, and it still wouldn't be enough!!!"

Then, Sirin died twice more than yesterday.

The third night.

Anqi: "Welcome to the Theater of Domination!"

Sirin: "I wasn't in good form the past couple of days! Watch how I annihilate you all today!"

Then, Sirin died several more times.

On the night of the seventh day.

Anqi: "Welcome to the Theater of Domination!"

Sirin (shook out instinctively): "I... I... I'm going to smash you all to pieces!"

Sirin -chan's cumulative deaths... well, I'm too lazy to count them anymore.

The night of the thirteenth day.

Anqi: "Welcome to the Theater of Domination!"

Sirin (weakly, her legs trembling): "Can't... can't we change a line?"

The night of the nineteenth day.

Anqi: "Welcome to the Theater of Domination!"

Sirin (frantically searching for an exit): "Don't come any closer!!"

On the night of the twentieth day.

Anqi: "Welcome..."

Sirin (turns and runs away): "You're so annoying—beep—beep—"

The night of the twenty-fifth day.

Sirin (falling to the ground, her thighs twitching): "Bitter Lucy..."

The night of the twenty-eighth day.

Sirin (shuddering, rolling her eyes): "Gulp, just kill me..."

The night of the twenty-ninth day.

Sirin lay flat in the center of the Theater, her hands on her stomach, her expression not so much peaceful as to be utterly despondent.

"Big sister?"

Anqi squatted down beside her, reached out her finger, and poked Sirin's soft cheek, her little face showing concern.

Sirin remained unmoved, her eyes filled with an empty indifference to the world.

She had made up her mind that no matter what kind of provocation, coercion, or manipulation she encountered today, she would not resist in any way.

Sirin just wanted to get some sleep; as for what Anqi wanted to do, she didn't care!

Until the Theater environment changed from the rugged and magnificent arena to a cozy little house—if Sirin remembers correctly, this is where that idiot Kiana lives every day.

The aroma of instant noodles wafted from the table, causing Sirin to unconsciously twitch her nose.

"... What scheme are you plotting now? If you want to kill or bury me, just do it. I will never speak to you again!"

"Big sister, the new instant noodle flavors from Shenzhou are receiving rave reviews, but they haven't spread to the Far East yet. Would you like to try them?"

"I won't fall for it! Humans are all liars!"

"That's right, that's right, humans are all liars! As Herrscher, we must be wary of human conspiracies!"

Anqi nodded her little head in agreement.

Sirin blinked blankly.

Yes!

She's a Herrscher too!

Sirin suddenly realized this.

We were clearly partners, so why did it come to this?

But thinking of the pain she had endured these past few days, Sirin, still seething with anger, forced herself to muster some spirit and said:

"I won't believe you! You're just trying to trick me into getting up so you can chase me down and beat me up, right? Let me tell you, you're only taking advantage of my weakness right now. Once I recover, you'll be sorry!"

"Does my elder sister mean we shouldn't underestimate a poor young woman?"

I don't understand what you're saying!

"That's true. Kiana didn't receive any formal education from the beginning, so her educational level is indeed questionable. I've got an idea; I'll make sure to give her some extra education from now on!"

"Snort!"

"Study hard, and you'll get instant noodles! Popular flavors from all over the world, delicious snacks besides instant noodles, anime, games, TV series, movies, songs—as long as you study with me, I can find anything for you, my dear sister!"

Anqi opened her arms and said confidently.

When Sirin, who had her eyes closed, heard these words, her eyelids visibly twitched, but she remained silent.

Then Anqi's face fell.

"If you don't cooperate, I'll keep hitting you until you agree, my dear sister."

"I'll learn! I'll remember your conditions!"

Sirin sat up abruptly, looked at Anqi's smiling face, and gritted her teeth.

The thirty-first day.

"Look closely, this man's name is Xiao Shuai... oops, I mean Kevin Kaslana!"

"Huh? Why would I need to know a mere human?"

"Let me put it this way, Siegfried's Heavenly Fire: Unleashed was Kevin's basic attack back then, and he's still alive, eyeing us Herrscher sisters in the Sea of Quantum! But it's okay, his organization is called World Serpent, and my clone is already cooperating with them, looking for a way to block him in the Sea of Quantum."

"Um???"

Day 32.

"Look closely, this woman's name is Fu Hua."

"I know her!"

"That makes things easier. She's still critically injured and on the verge of death. The move 'Great Void Sword God the Void' that cut off the Honkai God's connection back then was her basic attack when she was at her peak. But it doesn't matter. My clone has already infiltrated her as her apprentice and is currently learning this move. It might be able to break it later."

"Um???"

Day 33.

"Look closely, this woman is called Mei, and she is the actual leader of the Fire Moth. Oh, and here I should also give you some background information on the Previous Civilization, the Thirteen Flame-Chasers, the Divine Key, and Prometheus —it's worth mentioning that Prometheus is the Honkai God you met."

"Um???"

Day 34.

"Look closely, this man is called Otto Apolcalypse. He is over five hundred years old and is the master of the Divine Key Void Archive. He has countless clones and is a truly immortal and unkillable old monster. Listen to me, he is now planning to become a new god, and you, my sister, are part of his plan."

"Um???"

On the forty-second day, the weather outside was sunny, and the Theater of Domination was also sunny.

Anqi and Sirin sat facing each other across a small tea table, calmly drinking their black tea.

"Ah, smells good~~" ×2

The two squinted their eyes contentedly, revealing serene smiles of contentment.

"Snap!"

Then the handle of Sirin's teacup was pinched and cracked.

She smashed the teacup and overturned the tea table.

"Doesn't that mean I'm doomed even if I go out! Even if I gather all the lost power, I'm still doomed! Damn it!"
