It's Just That I Can't Say No?

She touched her chin with one hand, her brows slightly furrowed.

He seemed to be in a good mood...

Not good.

As soon as the door opened, Kiana saw what was inside and immediately wanted to back out.

Perhaps she should wait and come back later?

"Have you finished talking?"

Yomi didn't give her a chance to turn around. He noticed the situation outside when the door opened, and his expression didn't change much after seeing her.

Oops.

It seems that her bad mood is indeed related to this, otherwise Mei would definitely be happy after seeing her.

"Mei..."

Kiana chuckled dryly and tried to enter the lab, but after glancing at the location of the Stigma, she decided to talk to her about Yae Sakura first to distract her.

Unexpectedly, Yomi walked over in a few steps, pulled her away from the laboratory, and left Yae Sakura's Stigma here.

The rest area is right outside this laboratory. When Yomi walked over, he glanced at the layout of the rest area.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, he said, "You and Ruan Mei have a really good relationship."

Kiana, who had just done something to Mei, was in a state of stress, and her blood almost froze when she heard her words.

"The relationship, the relationship... it's quite good."

Distracted, Kiana followed Yomi Quan's gaze and saw the white cat pattern pasted on the wall.

It clashes with the style of the lounge.

Let's have a good talk.

Kiana, who had just been about to relax, suddenly felt her heart leap into her throat. She couldn't help but look at Yomi, only to meet his unwavering gaze.

The meaning is very clear.

She wasn't asking questions; she was giving instructions.

Things don't look good.

Kiana nodded silently. "Then let's talk in my room."

Yomi is the same as Ruan Mei.

Everyone has a God's-eye view, right?

Whenever I do something out of line, she notices immediately and then confronts me to teach her a lesson.

He knew he was doomed.

With a heavy heart, Kiana led the way, bringing Yomi back to her room.

We've arrived here.

Yomi immediately noticed the photos on the wall. Seeing some familiar pictures, she paused for a moment, then walked over.

"These were all left over from when Izumo; I brought them with me."

Kiana, seeing her interest, offered a brief explanation.

Yomi reached out and touched one of the photos, a hint of nostalgia flashing in his eyes.

"They were all taken that day, right?"

"Most of them are."

"If there are no Kishin, and no influence from nothingness..."

Yomi withdrew his hand and turned to look at Kiana: "Perhaps we're still in Changkong City."

"Changkong City?"

Kiana paused for a moment, recalling the people she had met in Izumo.

Although the traces were faint, those people had ultimately left their mark on her life.

"You're right. If it weren't for these unexpected events, we should still be in Changkong City."

"Yae Sakura said you want to turn the illusion into reality and reverse the Stigmata world into the real world?"

"... How did she tell you this?"

Kiana was taken aback.

Yomi remained silent, looking into her eyes with an expressionless mix of joy and anger, and asked, "Is that so?"

She's angry.

Didn't I tell Mei before?

Kiana gave a nervous, dry laugh, suddenly feeling immense pressure. "Yes, that's a thought I have."

Her voice was very soft, lacking any confidence.

"She also said that you are resisting the power of Honkai, rejecting it from the bottom of your heart, and distrusting it."

Yomi didn't retaliate, but continued, "Right after Izumo, you were caught up in a war and almost lost control of your body due to the Honkai?"

"... She told you that?"

Why does she tell everyone everything?!

How could you say that at a time like this?

Kiana felt incredibly bitter inside. Not only was she speechless, but she also had something important hidden in her heart that could turn the Yomi upside down.

If these were stacked together...

Kiana didn't even dare to imagine what would happen.

"Yes."

Yomi was somewhat angry. He stared into her eyes and said, word by word, "If you clearly don't trust this power, why do you force yourself to adapt to it and master it?"

Kiana took two steps back, and Yomi followed suit, taking two steps forward, until Kiana said with a troubled expression, "... This is what Izumo owes."

"If you're talking about the Great Honkai, then I can tell you that even without the Great Honkai you initiated, Izumo would have fallen into nothingness. It's precisely because you initiated the Great Honkai that Izumo is still at least tangible and hasn't been completely swallowed by nothingness."

"I know, but I can do even better."

Kiana shook her head and said, "Too many people have died because of me. I can't forget."

"You can do better, but that's no excuse for trapping yourself here. Yae Sakura said you made a deal with Ruan Mei, and she'll help you accomplish this seemingly impossible task?"

"... Yes."

Yomi said with a complicated expression, "Don't push yourself too hard, Kiana."

Chapter 102 Just Unable to Refuse?

You've misunderstood!

Kiana, taking steps back, couldn't help feeling nervous, and her speech became several beats faster than usual.

"I'm not working towards that goal anymore, at least not now."

It's truly insane to have such an idea and want to make it a reality; Ruan Mei, who also thought it was worth trying, wasn't much better.

For someone like Ruan Mei, probably nothing is absolutely impossible, so she thinks it's worth a try and doesn't consider it an impossible fantasy.

It was Ruan Mei's affirmation.

This gave her some confidence.

"You want to become a god for this?"

Want to become a god?

Kiana was stunned. Was this something Yae Sakura and Yomi had mentioned?

This matter is still far from being settled.

All she can do right now, and all the paths she can see ahead, are to become a true Herrscher of Finality.

My subconscious urge was to deny it.

But Ruan Mei's words came back to her mind, and in that instant, her thoughts wandered.

"Aeon... do you want to keep moving forward with that kind of existence as your goal?"

"No!"

Kiana snapped out of her daze and quickly denied it, saying, "I don't believe I'm striving in that direction. And even if that were true, this 'god' would definitely not be Aeon!"

Kiana rubbed her temples and said, "Sakura must have told you everything about my situation?"

"Mei, there are no precedents to follow in my case. The only thing I want to do, and the only thing I can do right now, is to become a true Herrscher of Finality, fully master this power, and prevent it from suddenly going out of control again."

Yomi's expression softened slightly.

If Kiana is aiming for the Aeon, then she should question whether this truly represents Kiana's will.

She can accept Kiana making decisions based on her own will, but she cannot accept Kiana being influenced by others and developing inappropriate thoughts.

I will help you finish it.

"I should have told you all this beforehand. I'm sorry, Mei, I shouldn't have let you hear this from someone else."

Kiana breathed a slight sigh of relief after the false alarm.

Yomi patted Kiana's head.

When she heard these things from Yae Sakura, her mood plummeted instantly.

These were things Kiana hadn't told her, making her suspect that Kiana was deliberately hiding them from her.

Her tolerance for Kiana hiding things from her was practically zero.

She couldn't tolerate Kiana hiding things from her, because the last time Kiana did so was after tricking her into going aboard the Ark, and then returning to Izumo herself.

There's this precedent.

How could Yomi not care?

"I hope you can tell me in advance about anything that concerns you, whether it's good or bad."

"..."

Kiana had just put aside the matter of Ruan Mei when Yomi's words, which seemed to be a special reminder to her, sent a shiver down her spine.

Whether it's a good thing or a bad thing.

Don't hide anything from her.

Otherwise...

Yomi's words took on a different meaning in Kiana's ears. Kiana was already torn between whether or not to speak. Upon hearing Yomi's words, her thoughts immediately became clear on her face.

He looked at Yomi with some panic.

Just as he was reminding Kiana, Yomi, who had made his request, did not miss the overly obvious look on her face.

Kiana...

Is there really something he's hiding from her?

Kiana, is there something you want to say to me?

Yomi gave her a way out, taking the initiative to bring up the topic.

"I, I..."

Kiana's smile was forced, her eyes darting around.

It seems there's no need to worry about it anymore.

"Please speak, Kiana."

Yomi remained quite calm and said, "Whether it's good news or bad news, I can accept it."
