"Because the Sky Curtain exposure is starting soon, and you're here, we can watch it together," Elysia explained.
This made Mobius's eyes flash with a hint of surprise as she looked at Kiana, appearing to ponder something.
However.
There was no need for her to dwell on it.
Kiana's mother explained it to her.
She said that as the Herrscher of the End, Kiana could sense the Sky Curtain's existence. Therefore, Kiana would likely have a feeling about when the Sky Curtain would appear and what changes it would undergo; she could have a premonition.
Clearly.
This made Mobius even more enthusiastic about Kiana.
She even skipped dinner, not having had time to eat, as if she had lost all interest. She couldn't be bothered, her entire focus on Kiana, her objective clear as she clung to Kiana like a spoiled child.
Hoping Kiana would explain what was going on.
"Later, later," Kiana said, sounding a bit troubled.
It wasn't that she disliked Mobius getting close to her.
After all, she also liked Kosma very much.
She liked both the big Kosma and the little Kosma.
And the big Kosma, with her soft body, felt great to the touch. When she leaned over, she felt like a marshmallow.
If it were any other time.
She truly wouldn't mind tricking Kiana.
Or, depending on Kiana's behavior, telling her a bit of the truth wouldn't be an issue.
But now...
"The Sky Curtain is about to start. Kosma, once you're ready, let's go. To the balcony, to watch together."
"I don't want to miss your own exposure because I'm talking about other things with you, do I?"
"Hm?"
"..."
Kiana smiled.
Miss Kosma wasn't a very high-level opponent for her; at least, not as terrifying as Elysia, so she could still handle her.
Mobius thought about it and agreed.
She wanted to ask the Young Lady Herrscher how she had been feeling lately, what it was like to have power.
Or anything else...
There would be plenty of time in the future.
Although she wasn't very fond of her own exposure video.
She also wanted to know what she would do in the future and how things would turn out.
She felt a little nauseous about it.
But it wasn't to the point of being extremely resistant.
This time, compared to the last, the preparations were clearly more thorough.
Don't get me wrong.
She was talking about the balcony.
Because last time, it was just Kiana and her mother watching the show; nothing else was really considered.
However.
Now, with Elysia's suggestion, several lounge chairs had already been placed on the balcony, with their angles adjusted for easy viewing of the Sky Curtain.
At the same time.
She had also prepared fruits, snacks, tea, and pastries. The main focus was on watching videos, chatting, eating, and enjoying the experience while watching.
It felt very pleasant.
In fact, it wasn't just them. In recent days, many people had been buying these specially angled lounge chairs to make watching the Sky Curtain more convenient, and they were selling like hotcakes.
They didn't know when the Sky Curtain would appear again.
But it was better to be prepared. Buying them and keeping them ready wasn't a bad thing, was it?
It had also sparked a wave of consumer spending.
PS1: First update delivered. One more to go, keep up the good work~~
037. Huaimin has not yet slept. Suffering +N
To be perfectly honest.
Mobius was a bit stunned when she saw the scene on the balcony.
She even saw that her neighbors not far away had also placed these things on their balconies.
She really didn't know what to say.
Elysia, cute as ever, waved her little hand in front of Mobius, then grinned and pointed to a lounge chair, telling her, "Kosma, you can lie there."
"E·ly·sia! Try calling me Kosma again and see what happens?!" Mobius was furious.
If the Young Lady of the End called her that, she could let it slide. In a fit of anger, she'd get over it. But you, you damn person, why are you calling me that too? Huh? Don't I have any dignity?
"Okay, Kosma, got it, Kosma."
Elysia said this with a grin, her strategy being to admit fault without actually changing her ways.
Seeing Kiana already lying on the chair.
She also went over and joined her.
"Doctor?" Kiana's Mom was the last to arrive. Seeing Mobius pouting, she was a bit surprised and couldn't help but call out.
"It's nothing." Mobius wasn't as shameless as Elysia. She still couldn't bring herself to call Kiana's Mom "Mom," but her attitude towards Kiana's Mom had clearly improved significantly. She even showed a degree of respect, not being as cold and aloof as usual.
Kiana's Mom didn't press the issue.
Seeing Mobius lie down, she also lay down.
Although Kiana had said there would be a Sky Curtain exposure tonight, she hadn't specified the time.
So, in everyone's eyes, it was uncertain.
It was necessary to wait patiently.
After a moment of silence, Elysia suddenly spoke.
"Does this count as sunbathing?"
After all, the moon tonight was very bright.
The moon was bright and the stars were few, with not many clouds.
Although it wasn't a full moon.
It was still quite nice.
In fact, at this very moment.
There was something Kiana wanted to change, which was why the video playback was delayed.
Even though everyone didn't know this.
She, however, was aware of it.
The main reason was the preview at the end of the video, which was meant to pique the world's curiosity.
She wanted to change it.
She had originally planned that after Mobius, it would be Eden.
But because she had unexpectedly heard news about Sakura these past two days, she decided to feature the sisters Sakura and Rin in the next episode.
That's right.
Whether it was the older sister or the younger sister, she didn't plan to let either of them off the hook.
Originally, Kiana had wanted to include Miss Mei as well.
But after some thought, she decided against it.
After all, at this point in time, even if Mei and Kevin hadn't officially confirmed their relationship, it was likely that there was already plenty of ambiguity between them.
Old Ancestor Kevin had already worked hard enough.
She'd let him off the hook.
[Host, the video has been modified.]
"Mhm... then let's broadcast it."
Although Kiana was becoming more and more unhurried in her actions now.
It wasn't to the point where she would procrastinate on things that could be done.
Rather.
If there was something she absolutely had to do, she would finish it quickly before slacking off. After all, in her own words, having tasks on her to-do list made her feel uncomfortable.
Since there were tasks, she definitely had to clear them out before continuing to lie flat. It was like when she was a child and in school; she always finished her homework before playing.
She had developed good habits.
And at the same time.
It could be clearly seen!
Boom——
A clap of thunder exploded.
Then the sky began to change.
It was as if a murky world had become completely clear, transforming into a blank sheet of paper, which was then flattened out.
"Is this... the Sky Curtain arriving?"
"Hooray! Good thing I didn't have overtime today, I got back early!"
"..."
Some were delighted, as there was new entertainment to watch.
Others were surprised, as they gradually realized that this world seemed to have much greater depths than they initially thought.
Some even recalled the footage circulating online of Kiana being attacked.
They couldn't help but feel more anticipation for what the Sky Curtain would show.
"So today, it's Doctor Mobius's turn to be revealed, right?"
"Oh no, I really want to see it!"
"..."
The nation's top leaders immediately convened a meeting.
Those who could attend did so in person; those who couldn't joined via video.
Regardless of what could be discussed in the meeting, at the very least, being together and discussing, chatting, and exchanging opinions was a good thing.
The think tanks were the most anxious.
They would have to record all sorts of information again.
