She really liked it.
As she spoke.
Kiana subtly observed Bianca and Mobius.
Her distant cousin, looking like she just graduated from university, with familiar light blue medium-short hair. Compared to the older Griseo, she had a bit more gentle grace, appearing quite proper and indeed having the aura of an intellectual researcher.
Don't think that just because Bianca has been an assistant in Mobius's lab for so long, she's actually weak.
Kiana remembered that this sister had graduated with dual master's degrees from a prestigious university. In her early twenties, she had finished her studies several years ahead of schedule, already considered a little genius.
Besides, everyone knows about Miss Kosma.
Even if her research institute is always recruiting, if you don't have the ability and can't keep up with her pace, she won't consider you an assistant, nor will she pay any attention to you.
Looking back at the story of the Previous Civilization.
The ones Mobius truly cared about, besides Bianca, were only Mei and Klein.
And Mei was a case of differing paths, where Mobius let go willingly.
Only Bianca was taken by Honkai, making her grit her teeth in anger.
This was enough to show how highly Mobius valued Bianca's usefulness.
Today, Bianca wasn't wearing a lab coat.
Even though it felt a bit like a stereotype.
In reality.
Even Mobius, who always wore the same outfit, knew that she needed to dress a little more casually today to meet Kiana.
Bianca had put on a little makeup.
Her beautiful face looked very soft.
Her figure was excellent.
Looking at Griseo, you could tell.
This was clearly a family trait.
However, compared to Miss Kosma next to her, she was still a bit lacking.
Today, Miss Kosma was wearing a women's suit, a hip-hugging skirt, and her long legs were encased in black stockings, making it impossible to look away.
Kiana knew very well that in the original story, the younger Kosma was a side effect of being a Herrscher Candidate, and that she was killed by Chiyou.
Reviving again and again, shrinking smaller and smaller.
What a shame.
This older Kosma was a proper "onee-san," with a curvaceous figure and a great hip curve.
Although it felt like because she didn't exercise much.
She might have a little bit of belly fat.
But it wasn't to the point of being fat at all.
Although Kiana was also a little interested in Bianca, she was more interested in Griseo. So, while sitting here with Mobius, Kiana was mostly sneaking glances at Mobius.
Mobius could naturally sense Kiana's gaze.
At the same time, she was also observing Kiana.
With shoulder-length silver-white hair and a slender figure, the difference was that her capacity and breadth of mind were not small at all.
Perhaps sensing that Kiana was looking at her legs.
Mobius casually crossed her legs, even changing her position to make them more visible.
The corners of her mouth couldn't help but curve upwards.
In the end, only Bianca tirelessly explained her and Dr. Mobius's purpose. This did not surprise Kiana; in fact, people had come to greet her from various sides from the beginning.
Therefore.
She wasn't listening at all.
Seeing that Dr. Mobius was also distracted.
Bianca couldn't help but sigh.
She became even more dejected.
Seeing her pout and fall silent, Mobius then chuckled and looked at Kiana with a smile.
"How do you feel now?"
"Feel what?" Kiana seemed genuinely clueless, or perhaps pretending to be.
Her confused look made Mobius's smile widen.
"Being exposed as Schicksal's savior, the future Herrscher of the End... How does that feel?"
Mobius had plenty of patience for Kiana. "Oh, right, you probably aren't like those ordinary people who don't know that this world has Honkai, are you?"
"No, I know."
Kiana shook her head slightly.
She glanced at Mobius and Bianca.
Lost in thought.
She said.
"It feels like nothing special… At least for me, I am who I am. What my future self will be is a matter for the future…"
Her mother was not by her side.
As if to avoid something.
And so.
In this living room, there were only the three of them.
Clearly.
Mobius was not satisfied with Kiana's formulaic answer.
She narrowed her eyes slightly, "I'm asking how you feel now. Tell big sister, okay?"
In fact.
The people in charge were just like this.
They wanted to be reassured, yet were always uneasy.
They wanted to maintain the status quo, yet always wanted to have complete control over uncontrollable factors.
Mobius came, not only for her own purposes, but also because the higher-ups wanted her to interact more with Kiana.
From her expert perspective, to profile Kiana's current mental state.
Whether she was controllable.
Whether other measures needed to be considered.
Kiana was well aware.
Even if some people thought appeasement was better, there would always be others who advocated for more forceful methods.
It was like the Naruto plot she had seen in her previous life.
Naruto was successfully trained like a dog by the Third Hokage, but Danzo was still uneasy about him.
Never mind whether the Third Hokage was truly smiling with a hidden dagger, or if his limited abilities and compromises led to Naruto's miserable childhood.
Everyone's thoughts were different.
Even if you told them that if Kiana felt malice, it would cause her to blacken a little more.
If the proportion of blackening increased, even in the end, it would be the end of the world.
But after the first few days, now, they suddenly had a flash of inspiration and felt like they could do it again.
A little probing, what's the harm?
A little probing to find a bottom line, as long as it doesn't cross it, that should be fine too, right?
Kiana's mind was as clear as a mirror.
Even Mobius scoffed.
Mobius never intended to complete the mission from above in a straightforward manner.
So no matter what Kiana said, she had already prepared her report.
The reason she asked was mainly out of her own interest.
A future Herrscher of the End, a destined Herrscher subject, what changes would she undergo once she realized her identity?
She was very curious.
PS1: Second update is here, continuing tomorrow, keep up the good work~~
016. Kiana teases Kosma.
If I had to say!
Mobius particularly wanted to know if Kiana had truly undergone changes due to her identity being exposed, but she never told anyone else, only continuing to hide herself silently.
She didn't need Kiana to tell her the truth.
She could understand it just by looking at Kiana's expression.
Alright…
That's right.
Kiana's deliberately made micro-expressions.
Made Mobius certain that she was truly different now.
Mobius became even more excited the next moment, boldly inquiring about Kiana's condition. Bianca, watching, felt she had something to say but couldn't quite bring herself to speak, opening her mouth as if to say something.
In the end.
She still couldn't say it.
To be frank!
Kiana wasn't someone who particularly schemed against others.
But she knew she didn't need to hide anything, nor did she want to.
There had indeed been some changes within her.
Because of the sky screen's revelation, more people were half-believing, but as long as there was even a sliver of trust, fate had already begun to push forward.
She was a blank slate, it was true.
But she was also gradually awakening.
This awakening wasn't instantaneous. It was gradual, happening little by little.
Even if it was only 1%.
It was enough for her to possess some special power.
What's more!
There was even more than that.
"Can I trust you?" Kiana feigned an expression of difficulty, thinking for a moment before looking at Mobius.
"You can absolutely trust me!" Mobius said excitedly.
Stop!
Bianca wanted to intervene.
But Mobius had already grabbed her thigh.
