I'm the One She's Looking For

The sword had already been sheathed.

The woman's gaze fell on the intact half of the transport ship, and a surge of emotion welled up in her eyes.

"Who... is that?"

It seemed like she hadn't spoken for a while, or perhaps for some other reason, her voice and tone had an indescribable quality.

Determined to be completely open and honest, and to make his savior feel his gratitude, Dekker glanced at the poster that covered half of the transport ship.

My spirits lifted considerably immediately.

"Are you asking about the person in the poster? That's Miss the Nightingale!"

Dekker is a big fan of the Nightingale, and coincidentally, the company has somehow reached a collaboration with Miss the Nightingale, so they don't object to their employees putting her posters on their belongings.

He put that poster up on his own initiative.

He specifically chose his favorite one!

"... The Nightingale?"

The woman stared at the poster on the transport ship, repeatedly pondering the name, a hint of doubt flickering in her indifferent eyes.

"Yes! Miss the Nightingale, her songs are so beautiful, they're heavenly sounds that touch the soul."

Thinking that his savior was asking about the poster because he was interested in the Nightingale, Dekker's excitement reached a new level.

"Friend, if you haven't heard Miss the Nightingale's song, then I highly recommend you give it the Nightingale listen!"

"I will absolutely not regret it!"

Yomi withdrew his gaze and glanced indifferently at the excited company specialist.

Under her gaze, the other person's fanatical desire to push their idol instantly returned to rationality.

Her attitude returned to its previous cautiousness. "Um, you saved so many of us, could we possibly have the honor of knowing your name?"

It seems I guessed wrong; she wasn't curious about the Nightingale on the poster at all.

Name...?

The woman remained silent for a moment, then instead of revealing her real name, said, "The Sea-Patrolling Knight— Yomi."

Leaving the name behind, she was about to turn and leave when she caught a glimpse of the other side of the poster out of the corner of her eye.

He paused slightly as he was leaving.

"And what about the other person?"

She then noticed that there was another person's image on the excessively long poster.

"The other one? That's Miss the Nightingale's partner. I the Nightingale their relationship is quite unusual!"

When the conversation turned to another person, Dekker, though somewhat more reserved, couldn't resist gossiping. "According to rumors, before her debut, she was mentored by Miss the Nightingale, and they were often seen together, seemingly living together."

"Although her musical talent is certainly not the Nightingale's, she's beautiful! And she often performs with Miss the Nightingale, and the music they release is all very good!"

But Yomi doesn't care about music now.

They don't care about what kind of group they're performing in, and they don't care whether other people are good-looking or not.

"Her name."

Dekker, who was about to launch into a long-winded speech, wanted to regain his composure and slap himself for his tendency to ramble on whenever he talked about pop stars.

What are you showing off for!

If this lord gets angry and chops them all up with one stroke, then you won't even have anyone to cry to.

"Her name is Kiana! She's a rising star!"

"Click--"

The hand holding the knife tightened suddenly. Yomi, who was usually cold and taciturn, seemed to become a different person after hearing this name.

It's like a black-and-white person suddenly gaining color, becoming vibrant and alive, although this vibrancy...

A hint of ferocity appeared in his previously calm eyes. The company employees, who thought they had escaped a disaster, were horrified to discover that their savior was not only incredibly powerful, but also seemed to be no better off than those Denizens of Abundance!

It was an indescribable panic, a chilling feeling that crept into everyone's heart; some timid people even felt their legs go weak.

"Huang, Lord Yomi..."

Say it again.

When Yomi said this, his voice had changed somewhat.

"Kiana, her name is Kiana, she's, she's the hottest rising star right now, she, she..."

80

Chapter 80 I am the person she is looking for.

Kiana... Kiana...

Perhaps it's someone else who looks similar and has the same name, just like the people she encountered in other worlds after leaving Tenhutou Rock.

It felt familiar to her.

But in the end, they were just strangers.

Even if they have the same appearance and similar experiences, those people... are not them.

Yomi wanted to calm himself down.

But the appearance of this name directly disturbed her state of mind, even though it was exactly what she was thinking now.

They are just similar strangers.

She also...

I still couldn't help but lose my composure.

The intense emotions that had been stirred within her could not be calmed; she longed for more information.

All messages.

Yomi suppressed the pressure he was putting on them and stared intently at the company representative. "Could you tell me all about her, everything you know?"

"No, no problem!"

The company representative then realized that he might have misunderstood Yomi's meaning from the very beginning.

That was the first question she asked.

It could be Kiana!

"I've heard that this Miss Kiana comes from a remote star system called Tenhutou Rock..."

"What did you say?"

Upon hearing the keyword "Tenhutou Rock," Yomi's pupils constricted sharply.

Kiana, Tenhutou Rock?

A name alone cannot prove anything, but Tenhutou Rock...

"My God, Tenhutou Rock! This was all information released by Miss Kiana herself. I heard... I heard she did this so that her long-lost friends could see the news."

Tenhutou Rock, in order to let her lost friend know Kiana she is still alive.

Each one seemed to point to that answer, the answer that made Yomi unable to find peace.

Kiana...

She is the Kiana I know.

And it's quite possible that the friend Kiana is looking for, as mentioned by the company representative, is her.

"Does Lord Yomi Quan know her?"

Dekker cautiously examined Yomi, feeling that he looked slightly familiar, but he wasn't sure where he had seen him before.

Can you tell me about her?

Without answering the person's question, Yomi decided to temporarily put aside the search for the Sea Patrol Knight.

She's going to find Kiana.

She had assumed Kiana's condition must be terrible, which was why Izumo had become like that.

Unexpectedly, Kiana left Izumo, and there's a very high probability that it happened around the time she left Tenhutou Rock.

Yomi felt a mix of emotions he couldn't quite describe.

After waiting so long, all the methods and attempts we made have yielded no results whatsoever.

During the time she was temporarily away.

It turns out...

"I'm not entirely sure about that. If I wanted to contact Ms. Kiana... I remember now, she posted a missing person reward at the company!"

Along with the reputation spread, Kiana's missing person notice also appeared. Dekker remembered the bounty she had posted at the company and quickly opened his terminal to show it to this important person.

I just pulled up that bounty.

Upon seeing the missing person photos Kiana provided to the company, Dekker was completely shocked.

This, this is...

The reward for information leading to the missing person's death was projected onto the screen.

Yomi also saw the bounty, and the first thing he noticed was naturally the photo on the bounty.

That's... a solo photo of her when she was still in Izumo, taken when she went out with Kiana.

She stared at the photograph, and even the last bit of disbelief vanished, because of the person who could produce it.

Right now, only Kiana is available.

Her gaze passed over the group and landed on the poster on the transport ship, on the person she knew so well that she would never forget.

Unspeakable emotions gathered in my heart.

"Can you help me contact her?"

Dekker stammered, somewhat incredulous at his incredible luck. "She, she is..."

Yomi seemed to have regained his composure, at least that was the expression on his face. "I am the person she is looking for."

"Yes! I understand, I'll contact them for you right now!"

This was a complete windfall, and Dekker was ecstatic; all the sadness of the transport ship being destroyed was washed away.

"Please sit here with me! Leave everything about contacting Miss Kiana to me, I'll make sure everything is arranged perfectly!"

On the other side.

More than half a year has passed.

But Kiana's most anticipated event still didn't happen; she spent the last six months spending every day with the Nightingale.

For her, the past six months have probably been the happiest six months since she came into this world.

Having thoroughly enjoyed being a star, he also helped many people in need around the world with the Nightingale, spreading the name of Harmony to more places.

The Nightingale understood her thoughts very well.

She was a perfect friend; whatever she wanted to do, the Nightingale would take her to experience it.

Eating, shopping, having fun.

The user experience is excellent.

They made many happy memories together, Kiana sometimes even thought about what if...

But there are no "ifs".

[Finality Process: 50%]

In the hotel room, Kiana sat by the floor-to-ceiling window, the sunlight streaming through the glass and falling on her, as if draping her in a golden coat.
