Side Story Mini-Theater: Ms. Herrscher of Sentience's Personal Interview

Q: Ms. Herrscher of Sentience, what are your thoughts on the Herrscher of the previous era?

Herrscher of Sentience: Huh? Feng, I know him. He's the man I've got my eye on!

Elysia: ?

Elysia: Even though Feng knows about your existence, you two have never actually met, right?

Herrscher of Sentience: What does that matter? The old fossil met him, so if she met him, doesn't that mean I met him too? Besides, I remember some things more clearly than the old fossil does. Do you think I wouldn't know what the old fossil's feelings are towards Feng?

Elysia: Hua, so you too... I thought you were an honest child!

Hua: ...Little Sentience, come here for a moment. I have something to say to you.

Herrscher of Sentience: ? Old fossil, I'm still being interviewed.

Hua: Then come over after the interview is finished.

Herrscher of Sentience: What kind of thing needs to be said so sneakily? If you ask me, beauties should only belong to the strong. If you had just snatched Feng back then, none of this would have happened! Let me do it, I'd tie Feng up right away, and we'd wander the world together!

Elysia: ...Hua.

Hua: I don't think that represents my personal opinion, Elysia.

Elysia: No, I just wanted to say, when you hit the child later, remember to bring this.

Hua looked down at Jie Mie, which Elysia handed her, thinking that she wouldn't need to use such a thing just to hit a child.

Wait...

Hua: Elysia, where did you get this?

Elysia: Anyway, when Kevin needs it, it'll "whoosh" back into his hand~

Q: Ms. Herrscher of Sentience, what are your thoughts on your own strength?

Herrscher of Sentience: Huh? Of course, I'm very strong. Although I'm a notch below Feng in terms of authority, when it comes to skills, I think we're evenly matched!

Feng: ...Little Sentience, do you have some misunderstanding about being evenly matched?

Herrscher of Sentience: I already told you not to call me Little Sentience! Although that nickname shows your special feelings for me, shouldn't you be more mindful in such a public place?

Feng: ...

Lilith: Hua...

Hua: Mm, I know. I'll teach her properly later.

Lilith: No, I meant, Little Sentience should be an adult now, right? If Feng wants to, I actually don't mind... Mmph mmph mmph!

Xila covered Lilith's mouth and dragged her away.

Elysia: Kevin, this is the Lilith you were watching over. Are you feeling disillusioned?

Kevin: ...

Kevin: At least Feng isn't dissatisfied, and Feng's first kiss was also...

Vill-V: Oh dear, Kevin, do you want to try my Finality Weapon? It's freshly made~ The success rate is absolutely trustworthy!

Mobius: I also really want to test the extent to which the Chimera Project you're carrying out has progressed, Kevin.

Elysia: Vill-V, and Mobius, calm down. How can you guys be like this? This is too unfair!

Su: Elysia is right. I think we all need to calm down...

Elysia: You should at least include me, right?

Su: ...

Griseo: Mmm... In that case... Brother Feng, I'm also an adult now.

Kosma: Griseo, how could even you...

Disaster: Little Griseo has grown up~

Feng: ...

Herrscher of Sentience: Hey, hey, hey, this is my exclusive interview, you guys are stealing the spotlight like this. Oh right, cameraman, remember to film Feng and me closer together.

Q: Ms. Herrscher of Sentience, you...

Mobius smiled and held up a sign.

Q: Ahem, excuse me, what are your thoughts on losing to Kiana?

Herrscher of Sentience: Ha? What kind of question is that? I'm on the level of the Flame-Chasing Fourteen Heroes, how could I lose to Kiana?

Mobius: Unfortunately, in reality, you did lose.

Herrscher of Sentience: How can you blame me for that? Back then, Feng was clearly cheating for her from behind! If Feng hadn't secretly given her pointers, I wouldn't have lost to her!

Kiana: That's true. After all, she possesses memories from the class representative, one of the Flame-Chasing Fourteen Heroes of the previous civilization. Her strength is undeniable. If it weren't for Senior Feng at the time...

Herrscher of Sentience: See? Kiana herself admitted it. If we did it again, I definitely wouldn't lose!

Kiana smiled without speaking.

Herrscher of Sentience: Speaking of which, Feng, I remember when I first woke up, I was supposed to find you. But you, on the other hand, were giving pointers to an outsider to bully me!

Feng: "...You were furious back then."

Herrscher of Sentience: "I don't care, I'm your old comrade too, you have to compensate me!"

Feng: "Then..."

Hua: "Little Sentience, the interview is almost over, come here for a moment."

Herrscher of Sentience: "Huh? I haven't gotten Feng's answer yet, you old fossil, what are you doing? Don't pull me!"

Feng: "Hua."

Hua: "Is something wrong? Feng."

Feng: "Be mindful of the severity of your actions. She's just a child, after all."

Hua: "I understand."

Herrscher of Sentience: "Who's a child?! I'm not a child at all!"
