Regretting setting up Elysia like this.

It's a case of "He who wins success, he who loses it."

With my personality, I've never been in a relationship, not in this life or the last, I'm just terrible at it.

And Elysia's level is so high.

I just can't handle her at all.

Isn't this just making things harder for myself?

Level zero grunt, facing a vanguard general right at the start.

There's nothing to say but that I'm just going to get wiped.

Sorry, I'm just delivery food.JPG~

Kiana wisely decided not to argue with them and just let them be.

She poured herself a glass of coconut water and gulped it down.

She drank it all in one go.

Interestingly, although Elysia is the type to exchange genuine feelings for genuine feelings, she's also the type to judge people and act accordingly.

If she weren't so clever.

She wouldn't have been able to travel the world safely when she was little.

Although, in all likelihood, the Origin's power protected her invisibly.

But she met all sorts of people, interacted with them, communicated with them, and if she hadn't learned anything, she wouldn't be who she is today.

As the social butterfly of Flame-Chasing Moth.

Everyone liked her.

This, while seemingly simple, is actually incredibly difficult.

Don't think human nature is truly kind. Slandering you, being jealous of you, these are not uncommon.

She might have had difficult times, she might have had frustrating times.

But she always faced them with a smile, happily spreading her smile to more people.

Only in anime do you find girls like this.

Where would you find them in real life?

Kiana, while eating the breakfast her mom prepared, stealthily stole glances at Elysia.

She actually understood.

If she hadn't nominally set Elysia as her fiancée, and hadn't pushed the future in this direction, then even if her relationship with Elysia became very good in the future, at best, it would be similar to her relationship with Eden.

She didn't want that.

If there was anyone she liked.

She felt Elysia was wonderful.

She liked her so much in her past life.

In this life, she loved her even more.

Thinking about it this way...

She felt a little less regretful about sneaking in personal feelings in the previous Sky Curtain video.

Think about it.

If she hadn't done that, how could Elysia have come to her now?

Of course, she didn't just like Elysia alone.

While she didn't change wives every few days, her fictional wives basically only increased, never decreased.

Just thinking about the Previous Civilization, you could guess who they were.

Even when she exposed herself on the Sky Curtain, revealing the women behind her in the future was also a calculated move.

Claiming her territory first, so to speak.

However!

Kiana silently ate her breakfast.

And reflected again.

She felt her first meeting with Elysia didn't go well.

She was too timid.

She didn't assert herself at all.

This wouldn't do!

What kind of situation was this, being controlled by a Glass Cannon~

She decided she would take the initiative later.

"Elysia."

"Can't hear you," Elysia replied, though she heard perfectly well. She looked at Kiana, her voice sweet and suggestive.

Kiana blinked, then suddenly realized something. She took a deep breath, her pretty face flushing slightly.

"E-Elysia..."

"You're too quiet~" Elysia cooed, deliberately acting spoiled.

She even raised her little hand and cupped it to her ear, as if straining to hear, teasing Kiana.

This made Kiana's blood pressure spike again.

"Elysia!"

"Mhm! Mhm... Elysia's here!" Elysia chirped happily, leaning closer.

Kiana pretended nothing was wrong and calmly said, "Later, I'm going out to buy some things. Do you want to, uh, go for a walk together?"

"Oh my~ My dear Kiana, are you inviting me? I'm so happy~" Elysia clasped her hands together slightly at her chest, her expression excited, as if she'd just received a reward.

This made Kiana even more embarrassed.

Is this really necessary?

"Are you going or not?" she asked.

"Yes! Of course, I'm going!"

Elysia beamed, "No matter when or where, Elysia will always be with you~"

"Speaking of which, where are we going?" she asked.

"The commercial street," Kiana replied.

PS1: Second update delivered. We'll continue tomorrow. Keep up the good work~~

030. Kiana, Wake Up!

Starting from these past two days.

Kiana's house arrest had been lifted.

Although Canghai City was now filled with many Shenzhou security personnel, both overt and covert, responsible for her care due to her presence.

Still, it wasn't like the very beginning, where wherever she went, all the shops and stalls were staffed by them working part-time.

Gradually, the regular citizens were allowed out.

However.

Even though they had normally resumed their lives, Whether it was work, business operations, Or anything else...

They still didn't know why things had been like that before.

They just assumed some important figure had passed through the area.

Despite some grumbling, They figured there was nothing they could do. Since the higher-ups had made arrangements, they just had to comply.

In reality.

Because both Kiana and Elysia had some differences from their character art revealed during the Sky Curtain incident.

Most importantly, their auras were different. If one wasn't paying close attention, or didn't already know they were the same people, they might not even recognize each other even if they met face-to-face.

In this way, things were actually quite good.

Kiana and Elysia didn't even need to consider disguises.

Acting normal and natural

Was basically enough.

Even though they were so beautiful and had such great figures, it was obvious at first glance that they weren't ordinary girls.

But beautiful people are beautiful people.

It didn't mean they had to be the exact prototypes from the character art.

No one would have genuinely thought that such important figures would actually be right beside them. This was, in a way, a case of being hidden in plain sight.

Even Elysia, who had considerable renown within Flame-Chasing Moth, Had only joined not too long ago.

While active, She hadn't truly appeared in the public eye.

Perhaps in the future, things wouldn't be so simple.

But at the very least, for now, it was like this, and that was enough.

"Take care~"

"It's okay if you don't come back for dinner."

"..."

Kiana's mother stood at the door, waving gently as she bid farewell to the two girls.

She gave gentle instructions, though with a hint of teasing.

"It's also fine if you don't come back to sleep tonight."

"Just let your mom know in advance~"

"..."

"Mom! What are you saying?!" Kiana was a bit speechless.

But Elysia nodded earnestly, as if she had taken it to heart.

Her playfully mischievous expression made Kiana playfully punch her.

"Let's go."

"Okay, today's Elysia will listen to Kiana about everything. Alright?" Seeing Kiana leaving first, Elysia immediately followed, affectionately hugging Kiana's arm and saying with a smile.

Kiana instantly felt as if her arm had sunk into a patch of soft clouds.

But those clouds weren't just soft; they were also resilient and warm, like a slightly heated hand warmer that had been warmed up, brushing against her heart.

She struggled a couple of times, but couldn't pull her hand free.

In the end, she tacitly agreed, as if by convention, and continued walking forward on her own, bringing Elysia along.

Elysia could naturally feel Kiana's actions.

She hugged Kiana even tighter.
