A Person in Honkai, First Exposing Myself

She casually flicked Kiana's nose.

Seeing her little rabbit-like nose wrinkle adorably, she couldn't help but giggle. With bright eyes and pearly white teeth, she was as beautiful as a flower.

To be honest.

Although Kiana quickly understood the situation.

She really wasn't angry.

After all!

Who wouldn't mind if such a beautiful woman like Elysia affectionately ran over to wake them up?

Even if she had a lot of grievances or morning grumpiness, seeing Elysia's innocent big eyes felt like being soothed by a gentle spring breeze, making it impossible to stay angry. She felt a little down but didn't care too much.

You might even find yourself chuckling.

A slight smile.

Perhaps this was Elysia's charm!

Kiana finally understood.

Even though she had thought and guessed a lot before, seeing the real Elysia in person, she still felt that she was completely different from what she had imagined!

She was even better.

No amount of thinking could compare to reality.

There was only one real Elysia.

Because she was unique.

That's why she was so precious!

Kiana propped herself up and sat on the bed, turning her head slightly to look at Elysia.

Elysia, meanwhile, sat down on the floor in a cross-legged position, hands propped in front of her. She tilted her head up, looking at Kiana with pure innocence.

They stared at each other like this.

It felt like an eternity in a single glance.

On a side note, Kiana admitted that she had included some personal bias when making the videos.

And the second video contained even more personal bias than the first one.

She just liked Elysia.

That's why she wanted to set Elysia as her fiancée.

After all, it was a reasonable setting that Origin was the wife of Herrscher of the End, wasn't it?

However!

Even though she knew Elysia would come in the next two days.

Even though she had prepared herself mentally so much...

When she actually saw Elysia at this moment, she still felt a little, a little flustered and awkward.

It was as if she had secretly done something bad and was caught, with the person showing up at her door.

Especially seeing Elysia's seemingly innocent and trusting demeanor, Kiana felt a little bit of awkwardness.

Of course!

Elysia was definitely not some naive airhead.

But her pure big eyes, her facial features, and the way she always smiled inadvertently.

They were truly endearing.

She seemed like the purest blank paper.

Just looking at her made you like her!

It was like how some people immediately strike you as wicked, while others look honest and simple.

Even though countless real-life examples tell us that facial features aren't always reliable.

We still habitually judge people based on their appearance and first impressions, deciding if they are good or bad.

Whether we like them or not.

"Why did you come so soon?" Kiana pursed her lips and asked softly.

Because they couldn't just keep staring at each other like this.

Although Elysia might not mind.

Kiana would feel even more restless.

This wasn't good!

"What's wrong? My dearest Kiana~ Elysia can't wait to see you, so I hurried right over!"

"Don't you... want to see Elysia quickly?"

"Elysia will cry, you know~"

It felt a bit like manipulative sweet-talking.

But coming from Elysia, it didn't quite have that effect.

She was indeed putting on a slightly sad face, but it was playful. No matter how you looked at it, it was like she was dancing on the tip of one's heart, leaving Kiana completely unable to get angry.

Back when I played games, I liked Elysia.

Even before meeting her in this life, I longed for Elysia.

Now that I've met Elysia, not only is there no disillusionment from meeting my idol, but I like her even more.

With Elysia suddenly doing this.

Kiana felt a little flustered, something she hadn't felt in a long time.

She seemed to want to explain something.

But then, Elysia chuckled to herself, her eyes curving into crescents, her lips like the moon. She then spoke softly, instead easing Kiana's momentary panic, appearing incredibly considerate.

"Actually, the Flame-Chasing Moth branch here in Canghai City has already completed my transfer procedures in advance."

"So the free time I have..."

"Of course, I'll come find my darling wife~"

"..."

"Mhm~ Surprised?"

"I wonder if you'll like Elysia when you truly meet her?"

"But Elysia really likes Kiana, super likes you. This is the first time I've ever been so grateful to Honkai. Thank you, Honkai, for sending you to my side..."

"..."

She giggled.

Shamelessly teasing Kiana.

Saying embarrassing things, but doing so with great cheerfulness.

"What? Seeing you like this... you don't believe me?"

"Don't disbelieve me~ Elysia will never lie to you. Everything I say is true!"

"..."

"I... I believe you," Kiana said after a slight pause, looking at Elysia.

While she was indeed a bit overwhelmed by Elysia's sudden enthusiasm, even subconsciously shifting her hips back a bit.

She knew very well.

Elysia was always consistent; you could always trust her.

The only lie in her entire life was the truth of her being a Herrscher.

But even that was only decided at the very last moment. She herself only found out then, so how could she have been deceiving anyone before that?

"It's okay, I believe you, Elysia... It's just that, with you suddenly acting like this, I'm really not used to it..."

PS1: The second update is here. We'll continue tomorrow. Keep up the good work~~

028. You call that love at first sight? I'm almost embarrassed to call you out on it!

Kiana stammered.

In front of Elysia, she unintentionally became like a shy little girl, so bashful.

But that's exactly it!

Elysia's eyes lit up even more.

She became even happier.

Her expression visibly brightened.

Smiling sweetly.

"It's okay~ You'll get used to it if we do it a few more times~"

"Oh, right, do you need Elysia to help you practice? It's not troublesome at all, Elysia will help!"

"..."

Oh, this.

You're actually being nice, huh?

I'm not used to you teasing me like this, not used to dealing with you, and you're offering to help me practice more? The abacus beads have practically flown into my face, you're really taking everything you can get!

"You bastard!"

Kiana shot Elysia an annoyed glance.

Then, she got out of bed, pulled Elysia up, turned her around, and pushed her out the door without another word.

"Hey, hey, wait a second..."

"Get out, I need to change!"

This was unprecedented.

Kiana had never been this serious, not even when Hua or Carole, or even the leaders of various nations, came to see her.

She'd always worn loungewear, being lazy and casual.

But this time, she actually wanted to dress up properly, to put on nice clothes. Wasn't this also a way of making a statement?

At the very least, for their first meeting.

She wanted Elysia to see a better version of herself.

Just as Elysia had also dressed up nicely. Even without makeup, her clothes were carefully chosen, very charming, and perfectly complemented her figure.

In fact.

All of this was quite normal.

When you like someone, when you care about someone, you subconsciously start considering these things.

Even if you don't realize it yourself.

It's always like that.

And although Elysia was protesting, saying she didn't want to leave, that she wanted to watch Kiana change, and even offered to help Kiana change.

She didn't resist much.

She didn't use any strength at all.
