However, in a rather clever move, it didn't affect their actions.

It just felt like a very close couple, sweetly clinging to each other.

While eye-catching, it wasn't unheard of.

"Let's go to the shopping district. What do you want to buy?" Elysia asked, finally loosening her grip on Kiana as they got on the subway, giving Kiana a little breathing room.

"Games."

Kiana wasn't one to lie.

Since Elysia asked, she decided to explain a bit more.

"The sequel to 'Black Fairytale: Little Red Riding Hood,' which I'm playing, just came out. I plan to buy it, and once I finish that one, I can play this."

"'Black Fairytale: Little Red Riding Hood'? So, what's the sequel called?" Elysia raised an eyebrow.

"'Black Fairytale: Snow White.'" Kiana grinned, as if even she was speechless about the game, her expression suggesting she had more to say.

But honestly.

The game was actually really well-made.

She was having quite a bit of fun playing it.

When she first saw it, she almost couldn't hold back a laugh just from the title. The theme itself was a complete subversion of the fairy tale, and she'd complained about it for ages.

Yet, as she played, the gameplay was good, and the story was decent too.

She gradually got used to it.

What else could she do?

Fortunately, the Previous Civilization was quite similar to her past life.

Unlike the next era.

Where a rabbit with shark-like teeth could dominate the globe.

If, looking at the gaming scene, only the HooM series was playable, and anime and manga were the same, Kiana felt it would be better to just let her die.

She simply couldn't appreciate that kind of thing.

Not in her past life, and not in this one either.

However, after getting off the subway and walking onto the shopping street.

Elysia leaned in again.

Though she wasn't clinging to Kiana as much as she had at the very beginning.

She now boldly reached out and gently took Kiana's fair hand.

In fact, compared to the beginning.

It was much more subdued now.

Kiana's nervous heart relaxed a little. If Elysia wasn't practically plastered against her in public, just holding hands was something she could accept.

Or rather.

She might have had a strong reaction before.

But now, surprisingly, it didn't bother her.

Of course.

Kiana wasn't just here for 'Black Fairytale: Snow White.'

She was also curious about earlier installments in the series, 'Black Fairytale: Cinderella' and 'Black Fairytale: Alice,' and wanted to pick them up too.

Besides that.

She also planned to see if there were any other new games.

However, most of these were console games, or perhaps some handheld game cartridges.

For mobile games or online games she was currently playing, it was more convenient to just download them online.

Elysia walked beside Kiana, watching her shop.

She wasn't particularly interested in games, so her gaze was focused on Kiana.

In that regard, she was quite devoted.

Fortunately, Kiana was getting more accustomed to Elysia's advances, and her threshold for being teased had become quite high.

Even when she noticed Elysia's gaze, she could handle it calmly.

However.

Although a girl with her personality would usually just go get what she wanted and head home after shopping.

Since she had decided to go out on a date with Elysia, she naturally considered Elysia's feelings too.

It was still early.

How about going to see a movie?

"Mhm, sure! I'll do whatever you say~" Elysia readily agreed, smiling brightly.

The people around them always looked at her and Kiana, intentionally or unintentionally. It was because they were beautiful, drawing attention wherever they went.

They didn't mind, nor did they care.

031. Kiana Attacked, Frying Pan Ready OAQ

At this moment.

While waiting for the traffic light at an intersection.

Elysia suddenly spotted a cold drink shop and told Kiana before quickly running over to buy a drink.

Kiana tilted her head slightly, watching her leave for the shop entrance not far away, then retracted her gaze. She held the bag with her purchases and stared blankly at the road ahead.

In reality, she wasn't looking at anything.

She was just spacing out.

The traffic light wasn't long, but it wasn't short either.

A minute or two passed.

But those one or two minutes were clearly not enough for Elysia to buy a drink.

So she continued to wait, appearing very composed.

Suddenly.

Just then!

Her heart skipped a beat, as if she'd sensed something acutely. She abruptly looked to her side and saw a speeding sports car, accelerating at full throttle with a screech, trying to make the last few seconds of the green light.

From afar, then closer.

It happened so fast, in just a few seconds.

Leaving little time to react.

But since the driver only intended to rush through the green light, and there was no one else at the intersection, even though the roaring engine was deafening, drawing the attention of everyone around, it didn't cause a major commotion.

However!

Kiana could see that the driver was very young, with dyed hair, probably only a teenager, a spirited young man. Amidst his calm demeanor, there was a hint of madness, and he was looking at her, intentionally or unintentionally.

So...

Is this aimed at me?

She was a little surprised.

But she seemed frozen in fear.

Not only did she not move, but she also tilted her head.

Although it didn't feel like mockery, it really looked like it.

In an instant.

Like a flash of white lightning.

The sports car suddenly swerved, as if drifting, its side slamming into Kiana like a heavy hammer.

Only then.

Some people screamed reflexively.

Some people's legs went weak.

But it was useless.

Those around Kiana felt like they were being summoned by the King of Hell.

As if they saw the black and white uniformed attendants smiling at them.

The sports car that slammed into her in an instant was like a ferocious beast.

At this moment.

Human life was so fragile.

However!

"Bang!"

A dull thud echoed.

Kiana was seen to have simply raised her hand and calmly stopped the sports car in front of her.

The concrete beneath her feet didn't react at all.

Not even she herself was shaken even a tiny bit by the impact.

On the contrary, the force of the sudden collision, under the conditions of mutual interaction, directly recoiled back.

Not only did it contort and deform the driver in a clean and swift manner, but it also made the entire sports car, just like a can of herring, twist and bend, as if it had completely turned into scrap metal, emitting smoke.

For a moment.

The entire intersection was extremely quiet.

Whether it was the survivors on this side who had escaped disaster or the stunned passersby on the other, they all stared at the scene in horror.

Even those who hadn't witnessed it all just moments ago.

Looking at the scene, they could imagine what had just happened.

"Mommy..."

"Look, big sister is Superman!"

"..."

The childish voice, however, perfectly voiced everyone's feelings.

Kiana, with just one plain white little hand, a delicate little palm, had almost completely wrecked the entire sports car on the spot.

But even so.

The car wasn't far from being scrapped.

Kiana retracted her hand as if she hadn't done anything particularly extraordinary.

That small palm print was clearly visible.

And the driver?

Where was that spirited young man?
