I'm Warning You: Don't Let Our Friendship Turn Into Something Else. / Improve the Ark Plan.
Every Izumo resident knows one thing: they can never go back to Izumo. The universe may be vast, but there is nowhere that is their home.
Some time ago, Sirin proposed to transform the Ark into a new Izumo of the Xianzhou, a concept that received a lot of support. This idea also piqued the interest of Bronya, who had been away from the Ark for a long time. As a result, Bronya returned to the Ark and took over the project from Sirin.
I only found out after I received it.
The so-called plan was just a beginning; nothing more.
Bronya remained silent for a long time.

Chapter 132 I'm warning you not to let our friendship turn sour.
Kiana and Yomi soon found the long-lost Ark again at the designated coordinates.
"Kiana!"
From afar, they could see Sirin waiting for them outside the Ark. Upon spotting them, she waved excitedly.
Sirin...
Yomi looked indifferently at Sirin, who was walking excitedly towards him. He showed neither the joy of seeing an old friend nor the dissatisfaction with the past.
Those things are all in the past.
Then Yomi saw Sirin hugging Kiana warmly right in front of her.
Kiana, it's been a long time!
"What are you doing?"
Yomi coldly interrupted her reminiscing, ruthlessly pulling her away from Kiana and standing between her and Kiana, frowning as she stared at Sirin with hostility.
Upon seeing his long-lost friend, Yomi immediately saw through her little schemes and narrowed his eyes dangerously.
"... I was wondering what you were doing. I was catching up with Kiana, what are you doing causing trouble?"
Sirin, whose spellcasting had been interrupted, looked indignant. Sure enough, even after so much time had passed, she and Raiden Mei could never be reconciled.
No!
Even when she was in Izumo, her relationship with Raiden Mei wasn't particularly good; they only maintained a superficial harmony because of Kiana.
"You two shouldn't start arguing the moment you see each other!"
Kiana, completely bewildered by the situation, pulled the two apart, saying, "We've known each other for so long, can't we talk this out? What happened back then was all my fault. If you still have complaints, then come at me!"
"This isn't my fault, Kiana. You see, I haven't even spoken to her yet, and she's already causing me trouble."
Sirin defended herself.
She was wronged too.
She did have some issues with Yomi, but it's normal for friends to have disagreements, and now only these few people are left in Izumo.
Yomi offered no explanation, but stared intently at Sirin, his gaze filled with a warning.
Kiana is mine.
Sirin paused for a moment, then her lips twitched. "You two aren't married yet, are you?"
Of course she knew about it.
A long time ago, Kiana told her that her favorite person was Raiden Mei.
Kiana is already mine.
Yomi's eyes flickered slightly upon hearing Sirin's words, but he still kept a straight face and warned Sirin, "You'd better not let your friendship turn sour like Yae Sakura's."
She didn't save face.
And he said it in front of Kiana.
Undoubtedly, she was warning Sirin, and at the same time reminding Kiana not to have affairs.
Ruan Mei can accept it.
Because she wasn't by Kiana's side during the time Kiana lost her memory, she couldn't be there for her when Kiana needed her most.
But others...
That's absolutely unacceptable.
Of course, she will also keep an eye on Kiana and not give Kiana the opportunity to flirt with other women.
Sirin's face immediately darkened.
What does it mean to "preferably not spoil"?
Raiden Mei is still the same as before, no, even more annoying than before. Before, she would only show her dissatisfaction in her attitude, but now she comes up with a direct warning.
Kiana's ears rang as if thunder had exploded.
"... Huh? Sakura?"
"What does this have to do with Sakura?"
"That girl's feelings for you have changed. If I'm not mistaken, she probably likes you too."
Yomi didn't hide anything; it was because the person in front of her, Sirin, was most likely the same type of person as Yae Sakura, and she had to make things clear here.
Eliminate the possibility of that happening.
"How is this possible?"
Kiana stared wide-eyed in disbelief; she had never shown Yae Sakura any particular special treatment from the beginning.
Besides, Yae Sakura didn't show this tendency when she last met Yae Sakura!
"When I talked to her about you, her unintentional glances and tone of voice... were quite obvious."
Yomi hadn't mentioned it before because Ruan Mei's problem hadn't been resolved yet, and bringing up Yae Sakura's matter at this point would only make things worse.
Now there's no such concern.
This is a good opportunity to give Kiana a warning and see how Kiana reacts.
If Kiana falls in love with every guy she meets, she will definitely teach Kiana a serious lesson and show her what a proper view of love is.
"That guy?"
Sirin, however, clicked her tongue in astonishment, saying without any hesitation, "I knew that guy had feelings for you all along, but I didn't expect him to be so quiet. It made me wonder if I was wrong."
"The person is dead, and now they know what love is? What an idiot! How could their brain take so long to process this?"
I'm so disappointed in you.
Yae Sakura likes Kiana, so she should show it more when they're in Izumo. If she's the one to stick her neck out, then she can join in the fun.
Now it's too late for anything good.
The cars have already been driven away. Now that I think about it, do I want to get in?
Yomi was not fooled by Sirin's sarcastic remarks about Yae Sakura; she simply held her sword and quietly watched Sirin speak.
"Really?... I didn't do anything, how could she...?"
Kiana racked her brains but couldn't remember what she had done to Yae Sakura.
And she didn't get from Yae Sakura either...
Uh, wait, last time?
Kiana frowned, recalling her previous encounter in the Stigmata world, and suddenly fell silent.
"I think she must have been stuck in the cycle of reincarnation for too long, which is why she placed her hopes on me after I appeared."
She scratched her head, and said in a low voice, lacking confidence, "It doesn't necessarily mean he likes me, does it?"
"Not necessarily? Kiana, I can tell you for sure that I'm at least 80% certain she likes you."
Kiana: "..."
Yomi withdrew his gaze from Sirin and looked at Kiana, his tone softening slightly. "What are you thinking?"
What do you mean by "what I think"?
I don't know!
Kiana touched the cool back of her neck and quickly said, "I don't have those feelings for Sakura, she's just a friend. I like Mei and ARuan."
Sirin thought to herself, "Just as I thought."
However, upon unexpectedly hearing Kiana's last two words, he was startled and stared at the two of them in astonishment.
"What? Kiana, besides Raiden Mei, is there anyone else you like? ARuan... you mean that Ms. Ruan Mei?"
Of course, Sirin knew who Kiana was, ARuan one Kiana mentioned. Although they had never officially interacted, Kiana often referred to ARuan as such, and since Aruan was a member of the Genius Club, it was hard for her not to know her.
"Yes."
When her friends found out that she was two-timing, Kiana smiled politely but awkwardly.
"Raiden Mei, what are you doing?"
Sirin paused for a moment, then turned her attention to Yomi. She truly hadn't expected that someone would actually carry out her fleeting thought in Penacony.
This made Sirin, who believed that no one else could come between the two of them and was content to remain just friends, feel like she wanted to split up on the spot.
133
Chapter 133 Perfecting the Ark Project.
"It's all my fault!"
Kiana was getting impatient with the atmosphere. Why did they have to talk about her personal matters the moment they met? Was that reasonable?
Is this appropriate?
This is neither reasonable nor appropriate!
"I like Mei, and I like ARuan, that's all."
Sirin was unwilling to give up and wanted to say something more, but seeing Kiana's expression that said "let's not talk about this anymore," she could only swallow her words.
"I'm a little surprised, I didn't expect... Raiden Mei wouldn't react."
"... Are you going to Xianzhou next?"
Kiana abruptly steered the conversation back on track, clearly not wanting to discuss the matter further; she had finally managed to get Yomi to fully accept it.
What if Yomi starts talking to Sirin at this point, and then, as the conversation progresses, he develops a lot of opinions about Ruan Mei again?
What will she do then?
Let's stop here.
Stop!
Sirin glanced at Yomi with an ambiguous expression, took a deep breath, and smiled, "Yes, we're planning to go to the Luofu Xianzhou next. You've come at the perfect time; you can come with us."
"Going to Luofu to do business? Is it the same as before at the Herta Space Station?"
"No, it's different."
Sirin led them toward the Ark, explaining as they went, "Our trip to Luofu is actually to trade for Luofu's cave-heaven technology."
Kiana paused, "A cave?"
Luofu wouldn't easily share this technology, would it? Similar space technology would be easier to obtain from the Herta Space Station, wouldn't it?
"Yes, regarding the future of the Ark, after discussions in the third round, we have a clear idea."
As she spoke, Sirin's gaze fell on Yomi: "Raiden Mei, Kiana is back. This time you have no reason to run away from your responsibilities, right?"
Kiana paused again, looked at Yomi, and asked Sirin, "What responsibility?"
"Of course, it's the Ark."
Sirin was still very good-natured towards Kiana, unlike the calm and indifferent demeanor she displayed when speaking to Yomi.
"We are the last remaining Core Flame in Izumo, and we have the responsibility to continue this legacy."
"Sailing on the Ark, we wandered through the Star Sea for a long time, visiting many places and interacting with many civilizations."
