"Kaslana?" Mei paused for a moment upon hearing this familiar surname.

"Raiden Mei, you have someone you want to save, but neither Schicksal nor Anti-Entropy can grant your wish." Kevin looked at Mei and said, "I promise you, the World Serpent can save that girl."

"What are your conditions?" Mei knew there was no such thing as a free lunch; Kevin must have his own agenda for helping her.

"You."]

"Puff!"

Kevin, who was expecting a surprise, spat out the Coke he had just drunk. An ominous premonition welled up in his heart, and he quickly looked at Mei. Her extremely gentle smile made him uneasy.

Brother Jie, don't cook my meal tonight... I'm afraid I won't get to eat it.

Kevin was filled with despair, clinging to this last straw, and hurriedly explained, "May, I..."

"Don't say it, I understand." Mei interrupted Kevin's explanation and smiled gently.

"Hey, if you look closely, Mei and Mei really look alike." Elysia's beautiful eyes were mischievous, as if she didn't mind making things worse, and she added fuel to the fire.

"Could it be that the reason Boss Kevin Mei to be his condition is because she looks too much like Mei?" Pardo didn't mean to stir up trouble; she was simply surprised.

The final post-credits scene revealed a lot of information. For example, Mei might have to join World Serpent to save Kiana, and there were also questions about why Kiana needed treatment and why Kevin wanted the Herrscher to join World Serpent.

A series of questions remained unanswered.

The audience's curiosity and anticipation for the next film are even stronger.

Su sighed as she watched the farce unfold before her.

Hen shook his head, seemingly with the sorrow of a middle-aged man.

But Mei's mind was only on what Kevin had said back then.

"Because Raiden Mei's voice is a bit immature, while Mei's voice, although disguised very well, cannot hide her mature temperament."

That sentence kept echoing in Mei's mind.

Mei, who was getting angrier the more she thought about it, glared at Kevin, but still wore that gentle smile on her face.

Kevin was terrified.

Only Theresa and Bronya remained in the front row; the rest of the people were company employees who had gone to the premiere. Even Himeko had gone because of her voice acting role.

The front row suddenly became much emptier.

Theresa was also stunned by Kevin's words.

"Luckily Kiana didn't see the Easter egg, otherwise what would have happened? Wait... did Kiana who joined the company see the Easter egg?" Theresa exclaimed, only realizing her mistake halfway through her sentence.

"You definitely haven't seen it, Headmistress." Bronya took Seele's hand and prepared to leave, with Arlene following behind them like a little shadow.

"Given Yaqing's habits, how could she possibly let Kiana see a storyline that has nothing to do with her? Even when we were recording the script, we didn't know who we were talking to."

After Bronya finished speaking, she left the screening room with Seele and Arlene.

"That's true~" Theresa pinched her chin and thought carefully. Suddenly she realized that everyone from the St. Freya Academy had left, leaving her all alone.

This instantly gave the headmaster a sense of being excluded.

"Theresa, would you like to come with us to the restaurant to wait for them?" Elysia warmly invited Theresa, who was alone.

"I still won't..." Theresa was about to refuse.

"Tonight's entire bill is on Yaqing, right?"

"Go!"

Meanwhile, at the premiere, a reporter asked a question that Yaqing didn't know how to answer for a moment.

The women looked at him with amusement.

"President Yaqing, may I ask..."

Chapter 236 Premiere Ceremony, Yaqing: I Respect the President as a Father!

Attending a premiere is different from being under the spotlight. Most of the attendees are audience members or reporters invited to promote the film. However, when Yaqing and her group stepped into the screening room, they were greeted with enthusiastic cheers.

It wasn't until the host took control of the situation that the fans in the audience calmed down.

"Everyone seems very enthusiastic..."

After the host finished setting the stage, director Yaqing and the behind-the-scenes team, including Salome, briefly shared their thoughts on creating the film and the difficulties they encountered. Then it was time for questions from reporters and the audience.

This is the part that Yaqing hates the most.

Because many unscrupulous reporters deliberately choose difficult questions to embarrass the interviewees in order to increase viewership.

The host, microphone in hand, announced, "Alright, our first lucky winner today is... Shenzhou, a reporter from Shenzhou Haimi TV! Congratulations! Which person would you like to ask a question?"

Among the many reporters, the bald-headed David pointed to himself in disbelief. He had attended the premieres of the previous few movies, but he had always been a runner-up and had never been allowed to ask a question.

Suppressing his excitement, Dawei chose to ask Director Yaqing a question.

"Director Yaqing, I am Dawei, a reporter from Haimi TV, and also a fan of the Honkai series. I have watched every single one of your films."

"Thank you very much for your support," Yaqing asked politely.

"What I want to ask is, although you have been promoting a beautiful story of a beautiful girl saving the world, there are one knife after another in the Honkai series. Isn't this a kind of false advertising of the film by yourself?"

David's question was very insightful.

Yaqing, however, had already anticipated this and took the microphone from Shub.

"I think Dawei must also be a fan of Miss Pink Elf, since I only promoted the Honkai series in her live stream."

Yaqing made a joke.

"In response to David's question, I think my answer is that I do not deny that the Honkai series is tear-jerking, but I think you should see more the changes in the survivors after the sacrifice, such as Kiana's growth in this movie."

Yaqing smiled and said, "Of course, in my heart, the Honkai series is still a healthy, sunny, and positive story. That concludes my answer."

Yaqing's confident answer made the audience a little doubtful. Could it be that the story of the Honkai series will really happen as Yaqing said?

At the same time, the audience had a glimmer of hope.

Since the director says that the Fruit Honkai series is a healthy, sunny, and positive story, does that mean that Himeko's chances of surviving in the Final Lesson have greatly increased?

Viewers who have been making unrealistic expectations are already fantasizing about Himeko's return.

Following David's question, many more reporters and audience members who entered the room asked questions about the voice actors Kiana and others, as well as Salome and others behind the scenes.

Although it was only Kiana's second time attending a premiere, the usually naive Kiana answered all the difficult questions from reporters with ease, even ignoring many of the traps they set for her.

Mei was quite surprised.

This isn't like Kiana at all.

Mei thought to herself.

Kiana, whom the staff of Schicksal call "Young Lady," displays the temperament and demeanor of the Kaslana main family in front of Mei for the first time.

"I think this question, which is unrelated to the movie, doesn't need to be answered."

Kiana rejected another motorcycle that was trying to make things difficult for her.

Towards the end of the premiere ceremony, during the last opportunity for a question, the host pointed to a reporter from a large North American television station.

"President Yaqing, there are rumors circulating that the anime-themed movie you created Honkai, using a beautiful facade to trick fans into shedding tears," the reporter asked, taking the microphone.

"That's pure nonsense. I think I've explained it very clearly. Honkai is a positive, beautiful, healthy, and uplifting anime that tells the story of beautiful girls saving the world," Yaqing said seriously.

"But some people say that you have a close relationship with the president of Schicksal, yet you maliciously portrayed him as a hateful villain in the anime. What is your explanation for this?" the reporter continued to ask.

As soon as the question was asked, Yaqing's expression changed slightly. The women looked at Yaqing with amusement, seemingly curious about his answer, or perhaps just wanting to see him make a fool of himself.

Salome and the others were not worried at all that this issue would cause any rift between Otto and Yaqing. They had already learned from Cecilia that Otto and Kallen when Yaqing very young.

So they watched with amusement to see how Yaqing would respond.

"Slander, this is pure slander. I respect the president as if he were my father. In my heart, he is as great as my own father and a guiding light on my path." Yaqing said this nonsense with a straight face.

It's nice to lick.

Shigure Kira's inner monologue.

If it weren't for the fact that one day, Shigure Kira slept until nightfall and then, upon leaving the company, she unexpectedly overheard Yaqing talking to himself alone in the office.

She'll probably believe it.

"Okay, Otto, what kind of expression will you have when you see this? Angry, panicked, surprised? I'm really curious, but unfortunately I'm in the Far East right now and can't witness the expression on your face in person, hahahahahahaha!"

Recalling that voice, Shigure Kira shuddered.

After the premiere ceremony, I met up with everyone in the courtyard.

Yaqing fulfilled her promise to them.

"Great! Tonight's bill is on Young Master Schariac!" Elysia excitedly pulled Mobius toward the restaurant they had visited last time.

"Pink fat woman, let me go!"

Rather than having Elysia hold his hand, Mobius seemed to prefer having someone else hold it.

"Let's go! Let's go!"

Kiana, don't push me!

Mei and Kiana were playfully fighting.

Seeing Mobius being pulled away, Shigure Kira quietly walked to Yaqing's side and whispered, "Yaqing, I have a question for you."

Yaqing's heart tightened.

Shigure Kira Luo asked him a serious question, which made her even more nervous than when she encountered that reporter who tried to sow discord between him and President Otto.

She was afraid that Shigure Kira would blurt out, "Did you ever love me?" at any moment.

Do you have schizophrenia? Or multiple personality disorder?

Yaqing was dumbfounded.

"What?"

"I said! Do you have schizophrenia? Or multiple personality disorder?" Shigure Kira then emphasized and repeated it.

"How could you have such an idea?" Yaqing asked with a strange expression.

"Because..."

Shigure Kira wanted to say something more, but Shub took her away.

"Kira, let's hurry up and go, I'm starving!"

Shub even turned her head and gave Yaqing a knowing look.

Chapter 237 What exactly does Sweet Pepper Curry taste like?

The movie has successfully come to a close.

At the celebration banquet, everyone was all smiles.

It was late at night when they returned to the Golden Courtyard. Since it was so late, they didn't play anything else, but instead washed up and went to bed.

The 'Courtyard Devil' reappeared, stealthily sneaking into Yaqing's room.

The next day.

Elysia looked at Yaqing's dark circles with curiosity and asked with concern, "Yaqing, have you not been sleeping well lately? Your dark circles are getting worse."

"Ah, Elysia, yes, there are so many mosquitoes in the summer, I always get woken up by them." Yaqing clearly not in good spirits, but she could still lie without batting an eye.

"Hey! Are there any mosquitoes over there Yaqing? We still have a few leftover mosquito coils here," Pardo said cheerfully.

After finishing breakfast, Fu Hua wiped her mouth. Hearing Pardo's words, she suddenly remembered the three mosquito coils that had suddenly disappeared three years ago. She had been woken up by mosquito bites and wanted to find the mosquito coils, but she couldn't find them anywhere. She had a very deep impression of them.

Since Fu Hua and Little Knowledge joined the company, they have been hitching a ride with Yaqing to the office every day.
