Chapter 119
[Shenzhou!]
[...]
Yes, as expected.
Do you have relatives over there?
[No!]
[...]
Are you going alone?
That's right.
[...]
This guy speaks very concisely and seems calm, but he also seems quite aloof?
The reporter looked somewhat resentful.
She was prepared to exchange pleasantries and move on to the next person.
After all, some people are socially awkward, while others are socially adept; you can't force it, and she understands this very well.
However!
The young man looked at the camera, hesitated for a moment, and seemed a little conflicted.
But soon, he became determined.
This made the reporter, who had a keen sense of what a big story was going on, suddenly reluctant to leave and moved the microphone even closer.
[I'd like to ask, isn't this... a television station from Shenzhou?]
Yes, it's an official live stream; it can be watched nationwide.
[...]
"Well... Young Lady, you can see it too, right?"
[Ah?]
[...]
The reporter was momentarily stunned.
I have a bad feeling!
But it's okay! It's too late.
Then we saw this guy take a deep breath, unzip his pants, and inside was the Young Lady's anime outfit. Although it didn't have any special features and was very ordinary, like a peripheral item with a picture printed on it, everyone was stunned by this sudden action.
Wow!
Knowing full well that the Young Lady might watch the live stream, you still did this... you went way too far!
[Young Lady, I'm the president of the New Zealand Young Lady Fan Club!]
[This time, we're teaming up with fan clubs worldwide to host a fan meet-up for Young Lady in the capital of Shenzhou. If you'd like to come, remember to check it out!]
Everyone is looking forward to your arrival!
[...]
The young man became more and more excited as he spoke, a stark contrast to his previous gentle and refined demeanor.
[Besides!]
[You have so many wives, but all I want to say is! You could have even more, we support you!]
Get on the bus first, buy the ticket later, it's all fine! You're the best!
[...]
The female reporter suddenly realized what was happening and quickly tried to put the microphone away.
But it was no use. The microphone seemed to be welded to the guy's hand, held firmly in place, and he couldn't take it out at all.
He spoke faster and louder, speaking with righteous indignation, leaving everyone around him dumbfounded.
However, upon closer observation, one will find that quite a few people agree with him, and even more seem to be on his side, clapping and cheering.
It's like the sound of monkeys crying on both banks of the river is incessant; if you call out, the whole mountainside will be filled with monkeys.
Outrageous!
[And one last thing! Almost done!]
[...]
The two gradually began to fight over the microphone.
The program was extremely well-received.
Wait... is this the official live stream?
Holy crap!
[Young Lady, between Jana and Elysia, which one do you like the most? You can't have them both as your main heroine, can you?]
[...]
[Young Lady, we're begging you with thousands of signatures! You absolutely must choose Jana! She's your true childhood sweetheart, you only suffered because she appeared late in the story! You can't forget her!]
"Pfft~" Elysia couldn't hold back any longer.
He suddenly laughed.
Seeing the indescribable expression on Kiana's face made him even happier.
PS1: Third update delivered. More tomorrow, keep it up!
121. Jana: If I had appeared any later, my wife would have really been gone.
"My dearest Kiana... Tell me, between me and Jana, who do you like the most?" Elysia moved slightly closer, gently nuzzling Kiana with her slender shoulder, her tone slightly mischievous as she posed a potentially disastrous question.
But!
Is Kiana someone you can easily manipulate?
She glanced at Elysia, "Of course I like Jana."
"Hmm~" Elysia knew that Kiana was joking, and she also knew that Kiana knew she was joking, but she was still a little unhappy with Kiana's response.
With her cheeks puffed out, she looks so cute.
It's like she's being coquettish; she doesn't hide it at all.
"Then go live with your Jana!" Elysia said coquettishly.
Kiana smiled but didn't reply.
Seeing the live broadcast footage, the female reporter finally managed to snatch back her microphone and burst out laughing. She became even more cautious afterward, as if guarding against a thief. Her adorable demeanor was truly amusing.
Uncle, you made a very decisive move!
What can we do if we don't act decisively? Are we really going to wait for the Honkai to Honkai down on us?
[...]
Sister, what do you think of the official warning? Don't you have any doubts?
[What's there to doubt? If Great Honkai hadn't occurred in my area, that would have been great. But since it did, isn't this situation a perfect escape from disaster?]
If it hadn't happened, wouldn't all this back and forth have been a lot of trouble? Don't you feel bad about it?
Whether you have it or not, are you just being stubborn? Being alive is more important than anything else.
[...]
That shows a clear understanding.
Certainly.
There were also those who harbored resentment towards the official call for relocation.
After all, there will always be differences among people; sometimes the differences between people are greater than those between people and dogs.
You can't expect everyone to understand the policy, nor can you expect everyone to be willing to comply.
I definitely wouldn't dare to scold the Young Lady.
However, they can criticize the local government.
Rather, this is nothing new abroad. Criticizing the president, criticizing the country, and even holding protests are all commonplace.
The fact that such a nationwide relocation wasn't celebrated is all because of the Young Lady's pride; she couldn't be left out no matter what.
Those guys in the protest aren't stupid.
They know exactly what they can and cannot swim. Unless they are driven by a real sense of mission or something else, they usually just yell loudly.
Elysia remained silent for a moment.
"What's wrong?" Kiana asked.
"I'm thinking... the reason everyone is so supportive of you now is because you predicted the timing of the Third Great Honkai very accurately, and Changkong City and the surrounding area did indeed experience a disaster at that time..."
Elysia was somewhat worried.
"But if something goes wrong this time, and it happens that the Fourth Great Honkai not only doesn't hit New Zealand, but instead hits the surrounding areas, the casualties would be even greater because of the shift in location..."
"Then, what should we do?"
"..."
Kiana understood what Elysia meant.
She said, "First of all, you need to know that I am the Finality. No one can make me unhappy, and no one is willing to make me unhappy. Even if she herself is willing, the people around her are not."
Then, Kiana paused.
He continued.
"Even if the prediction was wrong, and the Honkai caught us off guard, not in a place like New Zealand where things were progressing gradually and showing signs of trouble, but in any other place, it would immediately cause an uproar..."
"It's okay!"
She said.
"You know, I am not so revered by the world because I can predict the Great Honkai or the timing of it."
"They have no choice but to venerate me, only because I am the Finality."
"..."
Yes.
Regardless of their own thoughts, they had no choice but to respect it.
For a better future?
For now, can I have some shelter?
Or perhaps it's to appease this terrifying bomb and prevent it from exploding unintentionally?
Both are acceptable.
You can explain it however you like!
Kiana didn't care; they both knew what was going on.
Not to mention that the arrival of the Great Honkai is inherently uncontrollable. If the prediction is accurate, that's naturally good. But if the prediction is inaccurate, does that mean anyone would dare to take advantage of the situation?
Was it really just an ordinary palace intrigue drama script?
When a person's identity, status, ability, and even everything else far exceed the imagination of ordinary people.
She will gradually be deified.
In the end, even if something is wrong, the one who is wrong will not be her, but the mortals themselves.
Kiana is certain.
She wasn't under much pressure.
